Love

I wake up, feeling the heat of my personal heater. He's sleeping soundly. I look at his sleeping face. He's so adorable when he sleeps. He snuggles me in his sleep. I smile.

"Vivi...mine...no...touching..." Liam mumbles in his sleep. I giggle, which accidentally wakes him up. His eyes open, and he yawns. He looks at me, and my amused expression.

"Vivi?...what's so...funny?" He yawns again.

"Oh, nothing. I only may or may not have heard someone sleep talk..." I say as I turn around, so I'm not facing him. I giggle again.

"What?!" He says. "Oh god...what'd I say?"

"Liam?" I ask him.

"Yeah?" He responds, unsure.

"Do often have dreams, where you get jealous over some other guy? Or was that just today? Unless it was a girl you were jealous of?" I giggle.

"I-I-I What?! No! I'm Liam Spindal! I don't get jealous.." he says. I turn back around to see him pouting. He got jealous, if he wasn't jealous, why did he feel the need to say I was his. He used possession, when he said I was his. I love him, but he needs to realize it was jealousy. But he's also so cute when he's jealous.

"Hun, it's jealousy." I tell him. He looks at me in disbelief.

"I was not jealous!" He argues. I smile.

"Then why'd you use so much possession in your words. You said that I am yours, and then said no touching. You put quite a bit of possession in those words, Liam." I explain. His eyes widen, and he blushes.

"Well you are mine, and no one is allowed to touch you, but me. I was just stating facts...and it's just like how I'm yours. I don't know why, you think I was jealous." He says. I smile, and kiss him on the cheek.

"I think that, because you felt the need to say that I'm yours. I know, you knew that. But you don't have to be embarrassed about that." He looks away. "If it makes you feel any better Liam, I would feel jealous in that situation. Just like you said, your mine. I am not going to let some woman try and steal you away from me. You're strictly off limits to women, now! And men, if you're into them!" I tell him. He looks at me. I smile at him, and he hugs me.

"Same goes for you!" He tells me.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in women." I say.

"No! I meant you're off limits to everyone except me!" He orders. I giggle.

"You're so cute when you're jealous!" I tell him. He blushes, and mumbles something, while looking away. "What was that?" I ask.

"I'm not cute! I'm hot!" He says with a smirk. I giggle again. He kisses my forehead.

I get up and change into a short, light blue, strapless dress, with a belt. I put on butterfly earrings, and two necklaces. I put on some black heels, and turn to look at Liam. He was just watching me.

"Are you going to get ready?" I ask him.

"For what?" He asks me. I give my 'duh!' expression.

"My father is visiting, because he has to check on my wellbeing. Don't you remember?" I ask him.

"Has it already been three months?" He asks. "No offense Vivi, but your dad's creepy AF!" I shrug my shoulders as he gets up and starts changing. That's not what I'm worried about.

"I'm just worried about Zack and Annabelle..What if he attempts something again?" I ask. He walks over to me, and hugs me.

"We won't let that happen.." he smiles. I kiss him on the cheek.

"Thank you..." I say. We walk out of the room, to find my father walking down the hall, behind Xander. Lilly's cat is on his head again.

My father sees Liam and I together, and his face turns from expressionless to hatred. I gulp and take in a shaky breath. Liam runs circles on my back, and it calms me down a bit.

"Hello father" I give him a faint smile.

"Violet.." he nods his head towards me. "Liam" he says Liam's name as though it were dirt. My face hardens, and clench my hands into fists. How dare he say his name like that! He is a guest in this castle! He's lucky he can even come, after the stunt he pulled with Zack and Annabelle!

"How are you?" I ask him. He gave me a dirty look.

"It's fine!" He says. He walks away. I turn to Liam, annoyed.

"How could he! The way he said your name! Ugh!" I'm fuming. I almost said something to father. But if I said something, he may try something. Liam hugs me, saying it's alright.

Later that day, I was sitting in the garden with Lilly, when my father comes out.

"Hello!" Lilly smiles at father. But father looked at her like something from the bottom of his shoe.

"What are you supposed to be, the sugar plum fairy!" He says in a very rude manner.

"Um..no..I'm" Lilly starts to tear up, and I hug her.

"What? The cry baby going to go into hiding? Good, don't have to look at you anymore!" He bullies. Lilly cries harder.

"Stop it! What the hell are you doing?" I ask him. He looks at me in disbelief.

"What did you just say young lady?!" He yells. I stand up, and walk over to him.

"Apologize, now! How could say that to her!" I yell. "This isn't even the first time! You said Liam's name in a way of disgust!"

"Me?! You should be apologizing! You're the one cursed at me!" He yells back. Lilly shakes, afraid of his roaring anger. She sobs even harder.

"No! You need to apologize! You are a guest in someone else's home!" I refuse. He looks at me, not sure if I'm serious.

"No! I can act however I want!" He yells.

"No you can't! Especially after what you did to Zack and Annabelle!" I yell back. He looks at me surprised.

"I didn't do anything!" He denies.

"Don't act all innocent! I know you put the potion on him, and made him kill Annabelle!" I accuse.

"How do you know about that?! I mean...I didn't do it!" I fume with even more anger.

"Stop lying to me! I know you did!" I shout. By this point Liam, Zack, and Annabelle has heard us. All three came walking out. Liam went right to my side.

"What's going on?" Liam asks. My father wrinkles his nose in disgust, and turns away, to see Zack and Annabelle.

"It can't be..." my father mutters. "How are you still alive!" My father marches up to Annabelle, and Zack blocks his path.

"Don't you dare touch her, you slimy snake!" He growls.

"You're alive! But how?" My father asks, ignoring what Zack said. Annabelle looked afraid.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Annabelle asks.

"But he drank the potion! You died! You can't be alive!" My father yells. He pushes Zack to the side. Father attempts to hit Annabelle, but Zack stops him. Liam comes from behind, and tries to contain father. I help Lilly up, and help Annabelle walk inside. I'll leave my father in their hands.

At dinner my father shows up again. Zack and Annabelle are sitting next to each other, Liam and I are across from them. Lilly didn't feel like coming to dinner tonight, when there was a likely chance of seeing my father.

This is my father's final chance, if he does something again, he will be kicked out.

My father sits at the head of the table, next to Liam and Zack. My father smiles as Liam drinks his water, and smiles even more when Zack drinks his water.

"Both of you stop drinking that!" I yell, but it was too late, they had both already finished. Liam and Zack fall limp in their chairs. My father cackles. I stand up and slap him.

"Guards! He is no longer welcome here! He has tried to put King Zack and prince Liam under a potion." I yell, I watch as guards escort my father out of the castle.

"What's going on Violet?" Annabelle asks.

"Remember the potion Zack was under, when he killed you?" I ask. She nods her head. "My father put Liam and Zack under that potion's influence!" I tell her. Her eyes widen.

"What do we do?" She asks. I think for a moment.

"Well, I got Liam to snap out of it by saying 'I love you'. So maybe that could work. Maybe that's the cure! Love!" I say. She smiles.

Liam and Zack start to wake up. Zack launches out of his chair, grabs me by the hand and throws me into a wall. I hear a scream, and see Annabelle getting hit by Zack. Oh, no! He's going to feel so bad afterwards.

Some guards come into the room, and try to interfere, but I wave them off.

"Don't hurt them, they aren't in control right now! Someone's controlling them!" I tell them. I turn to Liam, who is now holding me down on the ground. "Idiot! Come back to me already! Liam! Come on! Don't you remember me?!" I sigh.

"Of course you remember me..." I mumble. He just isn't in control of his body. I look over at Annabelle, to see her about to get hit, when Zack's hand stops in mid air. He's fighting it! I can tell, and Annabelle looks like she can tell as well. Then I remember what I did last time.

"Annabelle! Tell him!" I yell at her. "Liam, you idiot! I guess you're making me say it, aren't you!" I pause. "I love you, you idiot! Now, come back to me!" Tears fill my eyes. Liam collapses on top of me. I sigh in relief.

I look over to see Annabelle tearing up. Zack fell into her lap. I smile.

"Is he okay?! Zack! Are you okay?" She asks.

"He'll be fine...he's just regaining control of his body.." I tell her. Tears fall from her face. I'm glad Lilly didn't come for dinner, now.

When they start to wake up, Lilly comes walking in.

"What happened?!" Lilly asks.

"They were under the control of a potion again." I tell her. Liam lifts himself up.

"Ugh! I'm out of it! Did I hurt you too badly?" Liam asks. I shake my head.

"I'm okay, but are you okay?" I ask. He nods.

"Yeah I'm fine...how's Zack?" We look at Zack, find him just starting to get up.

"Annabelle?" He asks. He suddenly starts shaking. "Oh my god! Annabelle! Are you okay? How much does it hurt? I'm so sorry!" He puts his head in his hands.

"It's okay...it's doesn't hurt that much..." she places her hand on his arm, and he looks down at her.

"I'm sorry! I'm going to put you to bed, you rest, and I will find nurse Alexandra!" He says. He picks her up, bridal style, and walks carefully to his room.

It's adorable how much he cares for her. When he holds her, he acts like she's this fragile little thing, that could break at any moment. He pays so much attention to his surroundings, being careful to not hurt her, and make her uncomfortable. You can tell, he truly loves her with all his heart.

I'm so distracted by their cuteness, that I almost don't notice Liam picking me up.

"How much did I hurt you?" He asks. I look at him, he has sadness in his face.

"You really didn't hurt me that much.." I tell him. We get to our room and he lays me on the bed. He sits down next to me, puts his head in his hands. I sit up, and wrap my arms around him. "I love you.." I tell him.

"I love you too.." he says. I smile, and kiss his cheek. I change into a night shirt and shorts.

"Can you show me where it hurts?" He looks up. I give him an unsure look. "Please?" I nod. I sit on the bed and lift up my shirt, to show him the bruise above my stomach, that I got when he was holding me down. "Lay down, please..."

I lay down, and he lifts up my shirt again. He leans in and starts kissing along my bruise. I blush.

He does a few layers of kisses, before he looks up at me. His eyes drift to my right arm. He picks it up, and starts kissing along the bruises on it. His attention, went straight to my other arm, checking for any bruises there. If he found any bruises on my body, he'd kiss it.

When he got to my neck, he lifted my head up, to check if there was anymore. He found one on my throat, kissed it. He suddenly stops. My heart is beating really fast. I can't believe he kissed all my bruises.

He lifts his head up, to see my blushing face. He was blushing too. We stared at each other for a while. We love each other so much.
