Scared of me

"Mhmmm, Mhmmm" said Wura as she was trying to understand what was going on? She had to be dreaming, of course she had to be, why was Liam here… and why was he kissing her all of a sudden?

Wura started to feel light headed as she could not breathe, and the feeling of Liam's lips and tongue was just weird, so weird to her.

As if he could tell that she was no longer breathing Liam broke their kiss as he let go of Wura and she tried to catch her breath, this could not be happening, no of course not.

Wura looked at Liam as he closed the door to her room as she was worried now, just what was going on.

"Liam… Liam, are you alright?" asked Wura as she was still heaving.

"Liam… are you alright?" asked Wura as Liam looked at her, he was behaving strangely, so strangely, and the way he kissed her, well it was… it gave her a weird feeling, and she felt flushed right now.

Liam did not respond to her as he captured her lips again, and she was not ready for that, unlike the first time he kissed her, this time it was more gentle, and wanting, she felt like she was loosing her mind.

"Li..aam… st…" said Wura as she tried to catch her breath as he pulled away, and to her surprise he carried her, as he kissed her again, Wura felt like she could not match up to his pace, he was just so quick, and yet gentle, she started to feel hot, very hot.

Liam placed Wura on her bed as he let go of her lips again and he towered over her, Wura's chest heaved up and down… she knew where this was going, she was no fool, but as she looked into Liam's eyes… she felt like, she did not want him to stop.

"Liam…" called Wura once again, she wondered what she had done, or what happened for him to be so provoked like this.

"Wura…" called Liam as his voice sent shivers down her spine and she felt like melting, he had never called her name like that before, never.

And before she knew it he kissed her again, but this time, she was responding to him, as if telling him to go on.

Wura felt like she was about to suffocate, and yet she did not feel scared at all, as if she wanted to, but Wura let out a shriek when she felt Liam's hand move to a very sensitive area on her chest that it was not supposed to be on.

"Ahh…" said Wura as her eyes shot open and she sat up straight on her bed as her chest was heaving up and down.

Wura touched her cheeks as they felt hot, and she was sweating profusely. Wura quickly turned to look at her door as it was closed shut, and she looked around her room, there was no one else in sight.

"It… it was a dream??" asked Wura in confusion as she shook her head, it was a dream, and yet it felt so real… it was scary.

"Was it actually a…" asked Wura to herself.

"Oh good heavens, forgive me… what sort of dream was that?" asked Wura in utter confusion, since when did she start to have such vivid and lewd dreams? She was gone, really gone.

"But it felt so real…" said Wura as her hand moved to touch her lips, was it bad that she was actually anticipating what happened next… oh she was done for, she was corrupted, just what was this now??

"Why would I dream of Liam kissing me… if I do not want it?" asked Wura to herself as she tapped herself lightly on her cheeks and she shook her head.

"This is your fault Liam, your fault" said Wura as she shook her head, this was Liam's fault, for brining up the topic of kissing… now her mind was making plays of its own, and they were dangerous so dangerous.

"Calm down Wura… calm down" said Wura to herself as she sighed, she needed some water to cool herself down… yes she needed some water.

Wura got out of bed as she opened the door to her room and she walked out into the hallway as it was dead quiet there was no one in sight at all, Wura closed the door of her room as she walked in the direction of the kitchen, her heart was still racing.

Wura took a turn to the right, as she walked to the kitchen, after some minutes of walking, she realized just how far her room was from the Castle, and well it would seem that walking had done the trick, she no longer felt hot, and her heart rate was back to normal, and she noticed that she no longer needed water.

Wura just sighed as she turned around back to her room, she was grateful that there were no guards on duty, or else she would have to explain herself to them, and she did not want to do so.

As Wura was walking back to her room, she realized that she would not be able to go back to sleep again, because of that dream she had.

So Wura decided to go to the library instead, maybe reading would get her mind off what she had dreamt.

Wura turned to the left in the direction of the Library, Wura had to say that during the night, the Castle was so empty, eerie and yet peaceful.

Wura slowly opened the door to the library as she walked in, it was dead quiet in here, so much so that she was a little bit scared being here alone at night.

Wura closed the door gently, and as soon as she did, she started to hear some rustling sounds of footsteps that made her on edge as she turned around slowly, she was starting to get scared now, there was someone else here.

Wura took careful steps deeper into the library, she could promise you that there was someone else here, she could hear some movements, and it sounded like a person.

"Who is there?" asked Wura as she tried to keep herself calm.

"Wura??" asked Liam in confusion as he heard her voice and he looked up from the desk, he could not be hearing wrong now could he?

"Liam??" asked Wura in surprise as she walked to the heart of the library and she saw Liam there, sitting at the desk in the library as he had some records in front of him.

"What are you doing here Wura?" asked Liam in surprise, it was the middle of the night, and well Wura was here, and judging from the fact that she was in her nightwear, she did not expect to meet anyone here.

"Ah… well I… I could not sleep… so I came here to get a book" said Wura as she explained, just what was this?? She was seeing Liam right after she had dreamt about him, this was dangerous.

"I see" said Liam as he smiled.

"Yes, and why are you here Liam?" asked Wura.

"Well I could not sleep as well, so I decided to look through some records… like my Father used to do" said Liam as he smiled.

"Ahh… I see" said Wura as she nodded her head.

"Wura are you sure that you are alright?" asked Liam as he stood up.

"Yes… why do you ask?" asked Wura as she wondered why he was walking closer to her.

"Well you seem flushed, and you are sweating" said Liam as he placed his hand on her forehead as Wura stood there in shock that he was touching her right now, Liam was checking her temperature.

"I… I… I am alright" said Wura as she moved back, Liam was dangerous for her, she did not know why she felt like this whenever he was near, she was scared.

"Hmm well alright" said Liam as he smiled at her and Wura felt like melting at his smile, but she calmed herself down, this was the real Liam, he was always so gentle, he would never ever force himself on her or be aggressive, so that made her feel a bit less uneasy.

Liam walked to the desk as he poured Wura a glass of water and he handed it to her.

"Thank you" said Wura as she took the glass of water from him and she drank it in one gulp, which surprised Liam, but he did not want to ask her if she was okay again, because she said that she was.

"You want some more water?" asked Liam as Wura shook her head, she felt better now, who could imagine that she would end up running into the man she was trying to run away from, he was even in her dreams now… that was just scary.

"I still am not sure that you are alright, please sit down" said Liam as Wura sat down on the couch, he wondered if she was catching a fever, he could sense that she was uneasy.

"Nora has returned now right?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"Ahh yes, she has, and I missed her so much" said Wura as she smiled, her mood quickly changed at the mention of Nora, and that made him smile.

"I am sure that she missed you as well" said Liam as he smiled.

"Yes, she said that she did" said Wura as she smiled and Liam sat beside her as she moved to the end of the couch just to put some distance between them.

"So why could you not sleep?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"Ah… well… no reason, I just woke up, and I could not go to sleep anymore" said Wura as she could not possibly tell him that she dreamt about him and that was why she could not go to sleep again.

"I see" said Liam as he smiled.

"And what about you, why can you not go to sleep?" asked Wura as she looked at Liam.

"Well I do not know, I just woke up, and I could not go to sleep again, so I decided to come here" said Liam as he smiled.

"I see" said Wura as she looked away from Liam.

"What are you looking at?" asked Wura.

"Well just some records" said Liam as he smiled and he explained.

"I see" said Wura.

"Wura, are you scared of me?" asked Liam.

"What no" said Wura as she looked at Liam immediately, she was not scared of him not at all.

Liam was surprised at the way she answered him so quickly, well at least now he knew that she was not scared of him.

"Really? I do not think so" said Liam.

"Why not?" asked Wura.

"Well you do not like to be close to me, you always become defensive around me, and well I think that you do not like me" said Liam.

"I like you Liam… I like you…" said Wura as she did not know what she was even saying, but she did not want him to think that she did not like him… not at all, she liked him so much, so much that she could not imagine if he was not here by her side right now.

"You do?" asked Liam in surprise.

"Yes, of course I do… you are nice, sweet, sometimes annoying, but… I enjoy the good times that I spend with you" said Wura as she did not know if it was the quietness of the night or she was just crazy for speaking like this.

"I also enjoy spending time with you Wura" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.. she did not know if she was now catching feelings for him now… but she did not want to, not at all.

"Well I… it is very late now, I will go to my room" said Wura as she stood up.

"Well alright then, goodnight Wura" said Liam as he smiled.

"Goodnight Liam" said Wura as she smiled and she walked away.

Wura walked back to her room as she sighed and she climbed into bed as she hugged her second pillow as she could not help but smile and she closed her eyes as she drifted back into slumber.

…

"Nora, where do you think Liam is taking me?" asked Nora as she looked at Nora's reflection in the mirror as she did her hair.

"I do not know my Queen, his Majesty did not tell me anything" said Nora as she replied.

"Hmm, I see" said Wura as she was actually excited for where Liam would take her this morning, Nora had told her when she woke up this morning that Liam had told her to prepare her as they were going out.

"Nora… I think that I like Liam…" said Wura as she hesitated.

"Are you sure my Queen?" asked Nora in surprise.

"Well yes…. The thing is… wait, let me explain" said Wura as she decided to tell Nora everything from the beginning.

"I think I like him…" said Wura as she had told Nora everything that happened, but of course she did not tell her about the dream that she had about Liam.

"Well my Queen, I am happy for you" said Nora as she smiled.

"Yes, but I do not know if Liam likes me back, in the same way that I do" said Wura.

"Well my Queen, you will never know unless you ask him" said Nora.

"That is easier said than done Nora" said Wura as she sighed.

"I am done with your hair my Queen" said Nora as she smiled.

"Thank you Nora, I will go now, I do not want to keep Liam waiting" said Wura as she stood up and she gave Nora a quick hug.

"Please enjoy your outing with his Majesty my Queen" said Nora as she smiled.

"I will Nora, thank you" said Wura as she broke their hug and she smiled as she walked out of the room.

…

"Good Morrow Liam" said Wura as she smiled and she looked at Liam as he turned to look at her.

"Good Morrow Wura" said Liam as he smiled.

"Where are we going?" asked Wura as Liam finished saddling up Nolan.

"It is a surprise" said Liam as he smiled.

"Alright then" said Wura as she smiled.

"Where is Ayo?" asked Wura.

"He is in the stables, it is better for us to go with Nolan today" said Liam as he smiled.

"Okay" said Wura as he smiled and Liam stretched out his hand to her and she took his hand with a smile as he carried her on top of Nolan and he sat behind her as he made Nolan start to move as they walked out the stable gate.

Wura felt safe with Liam behind her, she did not know why, but she felt him embrace comforting.

"Can you tell me where we are going now?" asked Wura as she could not wait, she was excited.

"You are rather impatient are you now?" asked Liam as he chuckled.

"Of course I am, I cannot deal with the suspense" said Wura as Liam laughed at her.

"Well guess then" said Liam as he smiled and Wura looked around, they had been here before, only once.

"We are going on a picnic?" asked Wura in uncertainty.

"Well yes, we are" said Liam as he smiled, he knew that she would guess it.

"Really?" asked Wura in surprise.

"Yes" said Liam as he smiled, and he brought Nolan to a stop as he got down and he helped Wura down as he held her hand and they walked to where a picnic was set up for them.

"What is the occasion?" asked Wura as she smiled and she looked at Liam.

"No reason, do we need to have an occasion to have a picnic?" asked Liam as he looked at her.

"Well no, of course not" said Wura as she smiled and she and Liam sat on the picnic cloth as the snow around them was already starting to melt.

"Actually, I wanted to do something special for you" said Liam as he smiled.

"Why?" asked Wura.

"Because you deserve it, and so much more" said Liam as he smiled and Wura cleared her throat.

"We should eat before the food gets cold" said Wura.

"Yes, you are right" said Liam as he smiled.

…

"Do you remember the last time we had a picnic?" asked Liam as he looked at Wura.

"Yes, how could I forget? Your father arranged it all" said Wura as she laughed and Liam laughed as well.

"Hmm true, but that was the first time I think that we spoke to each other honestly" said Liam as he smiled.

"Hmm" said Wura as she drank her tea.

"And it was also when I gave you my ring" said Liam as he smiled and Wura looked at him.

"Yes… I remember" said Wura as she placed her teacup on the saucer.

"Wura, do you still have my ring?" asked Liam.

"Well yes, of course I do… I kept it in a safe place" said Wura.

"Would you give it to me if I asked for it?" asked Liam as he smiled.

"Well yes, of course I would, it is your ring after all" said Wura.

"Wura" said Liam as he took Wura's hand in his, which surprised Wura, Liam had thought about this moment all night, he could not sleep, he was tired of playing, all he wanted was for Liam to know his true feelings, he could not keep on hiding or pretending.

"Yes…" said Wura.

"Wura… marrying you was the best thing that happened to me" said Liam as Wura felt her heart skip a beat.

"Sure, we have had our fair share of ups and downs, but I want you to know that I have been my happiest with you" said Liam as he smiled.

"Liam I…" said Wura as she was cut off.

"Please Wura, let me speak" said Liam as Wura kept quiet.

"When you smile, I smile… when you laugh, I cannot help but laugh, when you are annoyed with me, I cannot help but be annoyed with you as well" said Liam as he smiled and Wura smiled at him.

"I know that this has past what you originally wanted, but I want you to know that I cannot imagine any other woman as my wife, but you" said Liam as Wura could not help but smile.

"Wura I… I Lo…" said Liam as he was cut off by the panicked shout of a Castle guard.

"Your Majesty… Your Majesty!!" came the panicked voice of a castle guard as he rode quickly on a horse and he quickly dismounted from the horse as he bowed down in front of Liam and Wura as they were very surprised.

Liam was irritated that this moment was interrupted, but he knew that it had to be very important.

"Your majesties, please forgive me for interrupting you but…" said the guard as he was trying to catch his breath.

"Calm down, and tell me what has happened" said Liam as he could sense that this was a very serious matter.

"My King… My King… the realm… the barrier… the barrier is broken" said the guard as he heaved and Liam's eyes went wide.

"How serious is it?" asked Liam.

"Very serious my King, the people… they are taking refuge in the Castle" said the guard as he explained.

"My king… we need you now" said the guard.

"Go ahead go and call Mero, he will know what to do, I will be right behind you" said Liam as his tone sounded very serious.

"Alright my King, I will" said the guard as he bowed his head and he quickly rushed to his horse and he rode away as quickly as he could.

"Liam, what is going on?" asked Wura as she could not understand, but she knew that it sounded very serious.

"I cannot explain right now Wura, but we have to go now" said Liam very seriously as he stood up.

"Okay?" asked Wura as she did not ask any other questions, as she stood up and Liam took her hand as he put her on top of Nolan and he got on as he made Nolan run as quickly as he could, they had to get to the Castle now.

Wura could feel the cold wind in her face as Nolan ran fast, she wanted to ask Liam what was wrong, but with his serious tone and look, she knew that now was not the time at all.

Wura looked up as suddenly the clouds became thick and dark, Liam took a turn through the forest, he knew a shortcut here.

Wura just hoped that everything was alright, she knew that Liam must have been going through a lot right now.

Suddenly the ground began to shake as Nolan almost lost his balance.

"Ahh…" said Wura as she was in shock.

"Just calm down Wura, we are almost at the Castle" said Liam as he did not slow down at all, they had to get to the Castle, it was the only safe place right now.

The ground began to shake even more as Wura was scared but she did not say anything, Liam told her to calm down, so she would.

And in few moments they arrived back at the Castle as Liam rode Nolan through the Castle gates as there were many other people being ushered by guards into the Castle.

Liam got down from Nolan as he helped Wura down, Wura was wondering what was going on, the sky was so dark, and the ground was trembling, many people looked scared.

"Mero" called Liam as he shouted and Mero quickly rushed to Liam.

"How are things?" asked Liam as he looked at Mero.

"The barrier is broken, the people are panicking, the ground is trembling and… the world is cracking…" said Mero as he explained and Wura felt scared, all these words that Mero were saying…they made her scared.

"There are still many other people that are yet to come to safety in the Castle, I sent out guards and the knights to evacuate the people as soon as possible" said Mero.

"Alright…" said Liam as he took a deep breath, he needed to make a decision now, the life of his people were at risk… he wondered why this had to happen now of all days.

"What do we do Liam?" asked Mero as Liam looked at him and he ran a hand through his hair, he looked around him, the panicked people around, the people they were scared, and frankly, he was scared too, he did not know what to do, but these people, they depended on him, they needed him.

"Alright, this is what we will do" said Liam as he made a decision.

"We need to evacuate as much people as possible, everyone, send out more troops" said Liam in a commanding tone.

"Alright Liam" said Mero as he nodded his head.

"Mero saddle up your horse, you are coming with me, and be quick, we need to get everyone here now" said Liam.

"Yes my king" said Mero as he bowed and he quickly rushed to do as he was told.

Liam was still thinking, there were many people, if the world was cracking now… then they were not safe out there, he knew what he had to do, in the midst of his thinking, Liam finally remembered Wura, he was here thinking about the safety of others while his wife must have been scared to death not knowing what was going on.

"Wura, I need you to listen to me" said Liam as he turned to look at Wura and she nodded her head at him.

"You need to stay here, do not go anywhere, am I clear?" asked Liam and Wura nodded her head as she never heard Liam speak to her that way before.

"But Liam what is going on?" asked Wura.

"I cannot explain to you right now, but just stay here, the Castle is safe, I need to go" said Liam as he mounted Nolan as he saw Mero was already on his horse.

"Go?? Go where, where are you going?" asked Wura as she felt the ground shaking even more.

"I need to go and rescue my people" said Liam as he signalled Mero to go on and Mero did so.

"Stay here Wura, I will return soon" said Liam as he did not even wait for her reply as he and Nolan moved with a great speed out the Castle gate.

"Liam, Liam…" called Wura as he just left her there, she was so worried so worried, apart from the ground shaking, lightning and thunder began to dance in the dark sky.

Wura was not just going to sit here, how did Liam expect her to just sit here and wait for him, that was not done at all, if he was going out there, then she was going too.

"Prepare my horse" said Wura as she turned to look at the guard who was standing beside her.

"But my Queen his Majesty said that…" said the guard as he was cut off.

"I said prepare my horse" said Wura once again as she was not having any of this, Liam just left, not explaining anything to her at all, yes she knew that this was a serious situation, but she wanted to help me.

"As you wish my Queen" said the guard as he bowed his head, she was Queen, he could not disobey her at all, so he rushed to prepare her horse for her.

Wura's heart was not at ease not at all, something told her that she should be with Liam right now by his side, in this turmoil, she could see the scared faces of little children who were being told by their parents that everything was okay.

Wura did not waste a second at all, she took her horse from the guard as she mounted on Ayo and she moved to the Castle's front gate that had been closed shut.

"Open the gate" said Wura, she had to go out there.

"My Queen, we have a stern warning from his Majesty not to open this gate I cannot…" said the guard as he was cut off.

"I said open the gate!" said Wura as she did not want to repeat herself again, if Liam was King, well she was Queen as well, and she gave an order,

"As you wish my Queen" said the guard as he signalled that the gate be opened, and Wura wasted no time at all as she made Ayo gallop through the gate, as she moved further from the castle into the village, she saw just how horrible everything was, the ground was shaking, and the wind was blowing greatly as dark clouds were everywhere.

Wura looked around, she could not see Liam or Mero anywhere, maybe they were deeper in the village.

Wura moved with Ayo steadily, everywhere looked like it was deserted, suddenly the thunder began to crash, as Wura looked up, it looked like the sky was going to erupt, as the thunder hit, it looked like the sky was tearing itself apart.

Wura started to feel scared, she did not know why she had come here, not at all, she should have just stayed back at the Castle, but something told her not to, she wanted to see Liam.

"Help, Help!!" came a shout for help from a young boy as his panicked voice snapped Wura out of her thoughts and she moved in the direction where she heard the voice come from.

"Somebody please help us…" came the voice again as Wura found the source, and she saw a young boy, with an old woman, who looked like she could not walk.

"Oh thank the heavens, my Queen, help us" said the boy as he sighed in relief.

"What is wrong?" asked Wura as she got down from Ayo.

"My Queen, my Grandmother, she is ill, she cannot walk, and her leg is unsteady, no one was able to help us" said the boy.

"Do not worry, I will help you" said Wura.

"Oh thank you my Queen" said the boy.

"Can you ride a horse?" asked Wura.

"Yes I can my Queen" said the boy as Wura looked around, she could not see any guard or knight in sight, and something told her that things would get worse.

"Alright, you and your Grandmother take my horse to the Castle, you will be safe there" said Wura as she looked at the boy.

"Alright my Queen" said the boy.

"Help me, help your Grandmother on the horse" said Wura as the boy nodded and he helped Wura as they both lifted his Grandmother on Ayo.

"Go now, quickly" said Wura to the boy as he mounted Ayo.

"Thank you my Queen" said the boy as he was very grateful.

"You are welcome, now go" said Wura as the boy listened to her and he rode on Ayo as fast as he could.

Wura decided to just look for Liam at this point, her horse was gone.

"Liam!!" shouted Wura as she kept on walking.

"Liam!!" shouted Wura once again as she could not see or hear anybody at all, she thought that maybe it was a mistake for her to come here after all.

The Sky was getting darker, and the wind was blowing more strongly, but Wura kept on walking, shouting for Liam, he had to be here somewhere.

"Mero go in that direction, see if anyone is there" said Liam as he looked at Mero.

"Alright Liam" said Mero as something told him to stay by Liam's side, but he shrugged off the thought as he did as Liam told him to.

Liam looked around, he had a feeling in his mind that he should go in the opposite direction.

Wura kept on looking around, looking for Liam, and she shouted his name, calling for him, but he was not here.

In that same moment, Wura was taken about as the ground began to shake with a great force, and suddenly, to her shock, the ground began to spilt in two.

"Ahhh!!" shouted Wura as she felt the ground beneath her slipping away as she fell, and she closed her eyes, she knew that this would be the end.

But as she waited for the impact, she suddenly felt a warm hand grab on to hers as it pulled her up and she opened her eyes.

"Liam!" said Wura in surprise she was sitting on Nolan in front of him.

"Wura, what are you doing here?? I told you to stay in the Castle" said Liam as he could not believe this, he told her to stay in the Castle, for her own safety, he did not want to lose her.

"I was looking for you" said Wura.

"I told you to stay at the Castle, and yet you are here, Wura, do you know how dangerous it is here? How could you disobey me?" asked Liam as she did not know just how scared he was when he saw the ground open attempting to swallow her up, if he had not been here, she would have been gone, he would never be able to forgive himself.

"How do you expect me to just stay put?? I was worried about you, yes, it is dangerous here, and I do not want you to be alone" said Wura as she did not like that, he was reprimanding her right now.

Liam sighed as he did not know what to do with her, she disobeyed him, this was no place for her to be.

"We are going back to the Castle now Wura, and there is no room for refusal" said Liam.

"Fine" said Wura as she was relieved that he was alright, and Liam turned Nolan in the direction of the Castle as the ground began to shake and open yet again, the ground was cracking, the sky looked like it was falling.

Wura held Liam closely as suddenly thunder struck right in front of them as Nolan neighed in fear and Liam quickly jumped off him with Wura as Nolan ran away.

"Liam… the ground, the sky…" said Wura.

"I know" replied Liam as he held closely to Liam as suddenly the ground beneath them opened up and they went sinking down.

"Ahh…" said Wura as Liam was holding on to her, he used his other hand to hold the root of the tree in front of them.

Wura made the mistake of looking down, there was nothing but darkness down there, but to her surprise and utter confusion, something looking like a black portal opened up underneath them.

Liam grunted as he pulled Wura up with all his strength and he set her safely on the ground as he held on tightly to the root, he was sure that it would give in soon.

"Liam… Liam" called Wura as she saw Liam hanging on the root.

"Grab my hand, let me pull you up" said Wura.

"No Wura, I am too heavy, you will just fall down" said Liam.

"You do not expect me to leave you here, I will not" said Wura.

"There has to be a way for me to pull you up, there has to be" said Wura as she looked around, if only Nolan had not ran away, she would have been able to use him to pull Liam out of here.

"Wura, you need to go" said Liam.

"No!, I am not leaving you here Liam" said Wura as she felt helpless, this was all her fault, he was right, she should not have left here.

"Wura… look at me" said Liam as his voice was gentle and Wura looked at him.

"It is alright… go" said Liam as he smiled at her.

"No" said Wura as she shook her head and she suddenly heard the sound of a horse as she saw Mero.

"Mero, over here, come quick, Liam is down here" said Wura as she shouted, she was so relieved, Mero quickly rushed to her side.

"Help me pull him up" said Wura as Mero quickly got down from his horse and he rushed to look at where Liam was, it was a long way down.

"Mero, you will do no such thing, stay there, it is too dangerous" said Liam.

"No, do not listen to him Mero, do not, pull him up" said Wura as she looked at Mero, if Liam was crazy, well she was not.

"Mero, you will listen to me, I am the King" said Liam.

"Mero, I am the Queen, do not mind him, get him out of there" said Wura as Mero looked at Liam, and then at Wura, he did not know who to listen to.

"Look Mero, it will only get more dangerous from here, and you know that, go with Wura, go with her, back to the Castle, you will be safe there" said Liam as Mero knew that he was right.

"Just go, I will be alright" said Liam as he smiled and Wura began to cry.

"No Liam, please no" said Wura as she cried.

"The ground will open again, and when it does, I do not want you both to be here" said Liam as he had already prepared himself, he knew what he had to do.

"Mero, get Wura out of her, and go to the Castle, do not stay here, I will let go" said Liam.

"NO!! NO, do not dare let go Liam, do not" said Wura as she shouted at him, did he know what he was saying right now, this was not the way, not at all.

"Wura… Wura, look at me" said Liam as he smiled in a gentle way at her and she looked at him.

"Everything will be alright" said Liam as he smiled.

"No… no it will not" said Wura as she cried and she shook her head while Mero just stood there paralyzed, he could not do anything at all.

"It will" said Liam as he smiled.

"Believe me" said Liam.

"It is all my fault, I should have listened to you, I should have stayed back at the Castle" said Wura as she cried.

"Nothing is your fault Wura, never blame yourself never" said Liam as he felt his grip slipping, he did not want them to endanger himself while trying to save him, it was better for him to go than for all three of them to.

"Wura" called Liam as Wura looked at him with her teary eyes as he could feel the ground shaking again and he looked at Mero, telling him with his eyes to get Wura out of here and Mero nodded.

"I love you" said Liam as he smiled and he let go of the root as he went down.

"Liam Noooo…." Cried Wura as she felt like going down after him but Mero held her before she could and he carried her.

"No, Mero, take me back, take me back, take me back now" cried Wura as she hit him, she hit him violently.

"Liam, Liam" cried Wura as she began to sob.
