Sariya. The rage within

Chapter 3

Aurons pov

I hated seeing her hurt and I hated it even more that I was the cause. I wish I could take it all away but I had my duty to my people. my choice will always weigh heavy on my shoulders. I stepped forward and grab Sariya by her small waist pulling her into my arms. Washing her over with a wave of calmness. I knew she was fighting hard to control her rage and I was willing to do what I could to help. I felt her relax in my arms as she buried her face deeper into my chest. resting my chin on her head I allowed her scent to fill my nose. I missed her. God I missed her so much. I missed her sweet floral smell. I missed her untameable red locks. I missed her small figure that fit so perfectly against mine. I missed her voice. hell I even missed that rage inside her she so desperately tried to hid. I moved my head lower and pressed my lips softly against her neck, breathing in more of her scent as I gently kissed her. feeling her trembling in my arms, god another thing Id so desperately missed. but just like Sariya it wasn't long before she let her mind take control and she pushed her way backwards out of my arms. "Stop what are you doing? You are a married man now!"

me a married man?. he words shocked me so much that even I had to take a step back now.  "Married? Who told you I was married"

"The Dark elder said you and Princess Tiana finalized your marriage ceremony just months after you left"

That evil bastard when would he ever stop with his twisted games. Is this why she was so hurt. she thought Id betrayed her love and married another. The thought made me sick. Did she really believe that I would do such a thing. "Sariya" I said softly as I moved forward, hands reaching out for her waist once more but before even reaching it I could feel her tense up and I know there was no point her mind was in full control now.

I let my hands drop to my side deciding to lean my weight against a tree instead.

"When I went back home, the elder of the dead sea claimed he would spare me and my people if I agreed to let him be our elder and marry his daughter to bound our seas as one. Of course I refused, how could I after that bastard had killed my parents. The war went on for months before we finally won" I let out a little chuckle at the memory "Actually it was because of the princess we won, turns out she fancied Nat and ended up uniting both clans in peace with me as their leader."

I could see Sariya processing the information Id just given her. We hadn't seen or heard from each other for years each bound to our duty to our clans. So many times I wanted to come see her, wishing that I could protect her and her people but my clan wasn't strong enough. I had to stand aside and watch the dark clan take them in. I was to scared to even show my face at the elder meetings knowing that if I saw her I would not be able to stay away and nothing good would come out of the dark clan finding out about us.

"How does it feel to be an elder" she finally asked.

"Amazing! I almost have control of my rage now and can do so much more" I answered with a bit to much eagerness "Though I prefer they call me king Auron. elder just sounds too well old and wrinkly" I let out another chuckle as I thought of myself at that age but Sariya wasn't amused. A princess couldn't become an elder without marrying and I had been so foolish to let that slip my mind "I'm sorry I didn't... " I started but Sariya waves her hand in the air in dismissal

"Never mind king Auron I'm glad you are enjoying your days. Now if you'll excuse me I have my engagement party to attend. I'm sure you'll have no trouble seeing yourself out of our land. Goodbye" without giving me a chance to reply she disappeared though the trees, leaving me shocked as I felt my rage surface at her final words.
