You seem to amuse me in ways I can’t describe . ”
“Well, if you weren’t so comfortable, I wouldn’t have fallen asleep . ”
I chuckled again as I glanced out the window by her bed . “Finish getting ready, we’ll leave in a bit . ”
She nodded, and I made my way to my room . Throwing myself on the bed, I ran a hand down my face, wondering how far I would fall before I was completely lost in the girl that should have been dead .
Unlike any girl I’d ever seen, she was like a painting by a master, kept from the world . Her laughter was contagious, reaching all the way to her eyes as the melody slowly captured the air of any room . Her smile made me, of all people, weak at the knees . Her hair fell down her back in the softest curls, curls that I wanted to run my fingers through all day .
This girl, this princess, she had to know magic . She must have trained under the chief wizards to have bewitched me as she had . She had taken over my thoughts, my emotions . I leave her at night counting down the minutes until I see her again, savoring every moment we’re together . I knew that it was the incomplete bond that was causing such strong feelings . But, those feelings would’ve had to be there in the beginning in order for the bond to intensify them, would they not?
When she knocked on the door, I realized how much time I had wasted in my thoughts . Changing my shirt and combing my hair, I met her outside our home . Smiling and taking her hand, she laid her head on my shoulder as we walked out into the night .
Chapter 12
Lara
Walking down the dark path with the Huntsman, I felt something that I hadn’t since my mother died .
I didn’t worry for my safety . I didn’t watch where I went, checking behind every rounded corner for someone with a knife or a sword . I didn’t second-guess the loyalty of those who were supposed to protect me . I didn’t wonder if the love of my family was true . I didn’t feel fear daily .
I felt safe .
Yes, the Huntsman was supposed to kill me, but he didn’t . He chose to keep me alive, for whatever reason . I didn’t understand his choice, I didn’t try too . But, I was thankful for it . He gave me a second chance at life . A life of happiness, of friendship .
A life of love .
It was undoubtedly clear to me now that I was, in fact, in love with the Huntsman . Everyone who knew us could see it . He saw it, even if he didn’t voice it . And, it was clear that he felt the same way towards me as I did him .
I wanted to finish the Bond, but wasn’t sure how . He had begun to explain it to me on many occasions before, but had always been interrupted by one thing or another . I had decided to get a book on the Bonding when I was out with Ina, and what I read caused me to worry . Hidden between the pages of love and ceremonies was a very detailed section about what happens if the Bond isn’t supposed to happen .
You can’t force the Bonding, which I had known . But, I hadn’t known that sometimes the Fates are wrong . There is a force even greater than the Fates out there . A force that can change the Fates commands at its will . And, once this greater force has changed the course of the Fates, there’s no changing it back .
To say I wasn’t worried about this happening with the Huntsman and I was an understatement . But, just as I knew that I loved the Huntsman, I knew that there was the very real possibility of us not being meant to be together .
He nudged me, and I smiled at him . “You’ve been quiet,” he said, wrapping an arm around me . “What’s on your mind?”
I didn’t want him to worry over something that was probably just my overthinking . “You’ve never called me by my name . ”
His eyebrows furrowed . “I haven’t?”
I shook my head . “No, you haven’t . It’s always been Dear or Princess . Never Lara . ”
“Well then, we’ll just have to change that,” he smiled . “Lara
