Gripping onto his shoulder she let him take her. The next morning Ruby woke up. She took a shower and put on her dress. Walking outside she saw Eric. He was staring at the peach blossom tree. He had a cold expression as he stares at it. “What are you doing?” asked Ruby. “Staring,” replied Eric nonchalantly. She didn’t understand why he was staring at it quietly. “How long have you known this tree?” “All my life.” “Is it important to you?” Ruby frowned at his question. Walking closer to him she said, “Yes.” “So, this,” said Eric pointing to the tree, “is your Grandmother Willow?” Ruby have a bad feeling. Clearing her throat she answered, “Yes.” “Then I have no choice but to force your hand.” Eric grabbed Ruby’s wrist and pulled her behind him. “What are you doing?” asked Ruby. Eric pulled her into his embrace. He grabbed her chin and tilted it to the tree. “Look at this peach blossom tree. I want you to look at it closely." “What- What do you want?” “In front of this
She was kept by Eric’s side for many days and many nights. SIX MONTHS PASSED “Fairy Princess, you should stop taking those herbs. It can permanently make you infertile,” said Tabitha. "I know." "How do you know that the Prince doesn't love you. With everything he's done, are you sure it's not love?" "No. It's just his obsession to possess. That's all it is." "Fairy Princess..." “Leave me alone,” said Ruby. Tabitha nodded and left. Of course, she knew it would cause her to be infertile, but she was too afraid. Too scared of being pregnant by a man who hates her to his core. He wouldn’t love her child as he never loved her. Her poor child would be neglected. Hugging herself she wept. She wouldn’t know what to do if she accidentally got pregnant. Ruby still doesn’t know what his true intention is. What he really wants to do with her child if she was to give birth to it. She’s afraid that her child will be neglected by its own father. Maybe like her, he will mistreat him, abus
Eric didn’t wake up until it was evening. When he woke, he found Ruby ingesting some herbs. He saw her taking some of those herbs yesterday too. “What is that?” asked Eric. He grabbed her hand and there was a distinguishing scent of smell on her. Startled Ruby tried to swallow the herbs.Eric pulled her to him and forced her mouth open. He pulled the herbs from her mouth. “So, it’s this type of herbs huh?” growl Eric. He threw the herbs on the ground and stomped on it.Ruby gasped in shock. “What-What are you doing?” “How long have you been taking them?” asked Eric. He had a deadly stare at her. “What-What?" "How long have you been taking these?" Ruby didn't answer him. He pulled her to him and said, "I'm not going to ask you again." "Just-Just now," stutter Ruby. He pushed her away from him. "It's just herbs, what is there for you to be angry about." "So, this is why." "Why what?" "This is why you haven't gotten pregnant." "What?" "At first I thought it was me. Maybe I
...The words he said to her sounded like he really meant it. Like he loved her. And just as he left, he sounded sad and in agony. Like he was heartbroken. But it doesn’t make sense. None of this make sense. It was as if he actually meant his words. Her heart is aching. She didn’t understand these feelings. Like any other day she was expecting him to show up in front of her door and come to her, but he was nowhere to be found. She wanted to see him and asked him what he meant by his words. Did he really love her? Why did he look so sad. Why was he crying. As she waited, the day became night. He didn't come to see her. Her heart ached as he didn't come.The week went on by rather slowly. She soon realized she missed his company. Miss his smell, his touch, and his body. Miss seeing his handsome face, hearing his cold voice, and listening to his sweet words. Her heart throbbed painfully as he refused to come see her. A few days went by, and she still hadn’t seen him. She felt rather sad
“Nowhere. I was just going to the bathroom,” replied Eric. Eric was surprised that she was afraid he would leave her. He was happy to see her reactions of actually wanting him to stay with her. He smiled and kissed her on the forehead. “Go back to sleep.”Ruby shook her head.“What’s wrong?” Eric frowned.“It’s just. I- Well, can I wait for you to come back?” asked Ruby with worried eyes.Eric gasped at her actions. He smiled and said, “Sure.”After he was done using the bathroom and brushing his teeth, he came back to her. He saw her sitting up in bed waiting for him.He smiled and thought if only she would do this him instead of avoiding him like a plague after their sex, he would be happy.Getting back to bed she scooted closer to him. Her naked body came next to his and she put her head next to his chest. Nuzzling next to him, she slept.Eric was shocked that this woman is actually getting close to him without him grabbing or forcing her to sleep next to him. Eric was pleased. He
They went on like that for several months.He would come and she would strip for him, and they would make love all night long. Some days she would dress for him, and he would rip off her clothes to pound into her. Some nights Eric would take her roughly to fill his desires or be gentle and passionate as he savors her. They would have sex wherever they feel like. Whether it’s out in the patio or in the river they would just take each other to their heart’s content. Some nights she would give him surprises that made him long for her. There would be some nights where he takes her all night. Sometimes he let her take the initiative and ride him all night long. Each time he leaves he couldn’t wait to come back to her and make love to her over and over again.“It’s nearly a year now,” thought Ruby. She’s been kept here by him for a year. Throughout this whole year they have sex with each other more than talking with each other. The last four months was crazy as they couldn’t get enough of ea
Eric kissed her forehead. “You made me the happiest man today.” “It’s one year now that I been here with you.” “Yeah?” “I mean as your prisoner. Don’t you think it’s about time you set me free?” “What!” asked Eric propping himself to look at her. “I understand she’s still a part of your life and your future wife. She’s coming back tomorrow, isn’t she? So, I won’t get in the way. All I asked is for you to release me.” Eric looked at her with irritation. “Is that why you told me you love me?” “What?” “You told me you love me, just to soften me up?” “No.” “Then why tell me something I been wanting to hear from you?” “Because-because I thought that’s what you wanted me to say to you.” “You- You know that this entire time that’s all I wanted to hear. But I wanted to hear it from you knowing you love me.” “But I do love you.” Eric scoffed as he didn’t see an ounce of love in her eyes. Not like before. He laughed at his idiocy. “Of course, it’s what I wanted you to say to me. A
IN THE PALACE “What do you think?” asked William.“Huh?” said Eric who was still lost in his thinking. “Hmmm?” replied William. “Yeah. Sure, we’ll go with whatever you said,” replied Eric who was looking away from his gaze.William was a much older gentleman. He have white hair and brown eyes. Even though he is the same age as his grandfather, Eric haven't noticed him aging for the longest time. Noticing Eric being uneasy, he walked over to him. Looking at him he said, “How is it going along with Ruby?”“What?” “You know.”“No. No I don’t.” Eric was becoming annoyed that everyone was trying to get into his business.“So, it’s not going well?” asked William, who was coming closer to Eric. “Well-”“I’m assuming not.”“Well-Well you stop asking me.”“Eric! I am serious. Have you two not been moving things along?” William had a serious face on him. “I-I thought we were,” stutter Eric. He brushed his hair with his fingers with frustration. “And why is it not now?”“I don’t know,”
“Now, we got to think of a name for him.” “Right now?” “Yes. Better now than later.” “Well, we got a week left.” “What about the name Aaron Thompson?” “Aaron?” “Yes. I feel like he’s our little miracle.” “Alright. I like that name.” Just as she finished saying her words her stomach felt sharp pain. She grunted in pain. “Ouch. Eric, Eric, something is wrong.” “What-What’s wrong?” “I don’t know.” “What are you feeling?” “I don’t know. My stomach is squeezing tightly together.” “What? What does that mean?” “Fairy Princess is going to have the baby.” “WHAT!” exclaimed Eric. He was panicking. “Ouch, it hurts so badly.” “Hold on, Fairy Princess.” “You’re having contractions? Now?” questioned Eric with worries in his voice. He looked around as they were far away from the palace. “Eric, I think the baby is coming,” grunted Ruby. “Sh*t,” said Eric. “Come on. Let me carry you back.” He lifted her in his arms and ran towards their room. “Fairy Princess, Fairy Princess, hold o
It was early morning, and they took a stroll by the lake. “Eric?” questioned Ruby. “Yeah,” answered Eric. “Um, what of Samantha?”“Her, don’t you worry. She’s wallowing in her own madness.” “Oh. Well, I hope never to see her again.”“No. You won’t see her anymore.” Eric smiled at her. “Good. I want her to be in the same darkness she put me through. Even as a child she put me made me suffer through so much.” Ruby clenched her fists tightly.“I will help you wash away all of those bad memories with all of my love. I have so much more love to give you and our child.”"I know.""Know that I will protect your, our child, and our family." Ruby nodded. “Oh. By the way, what happened to Henry?”“He’s locked up in the cell. The emperor was so angry at him that he chopped off all his limbs. Now he’s just a body, awaiting death. I also gave him the hot and cold poison,” answered Eric. “And I cut off his tongue, so he can’t curse us.” “Oh. Well, that’s good. I want him to suffer for what h
They all started walking back to the palace when all of a sudden Ruby started feeling lightheaded. She lost vision for a few seconds and collapsed.Eric, seeing her, caught her in his arms. “Ruby? Ruby?”“What’s wrong?” asked Empress Dowager.Ruby shook her head and said, “I’m fine. I’m just exhausted.”“Are you sure?” asked Eric.“Ruby are you positive child?” asked Empress Dowager.“Yes. I’m quite positive,” answered Ruby.As they all got back to the palace, the Emperor shouted, “Let’s have a feast tonight! Everyone from the young to old, rich to the poor. Come join us. Let’s all celebrate!”That night everyone from all over the Dragon Empire came to join the party.Ruby sat next to Eric. Eric held her hands in his. He kissed her hand. She smiled sweetly at him.“What do you feel like eating?”“I don’t know.”“What about fish?”One of the maid brought over a steam fish.Ruby smelling the fish started to gag. She had the feeling of wanting to throw up.“Ruby? What’s wrong?” asked Eri
The sky started to clear. The dark clouds disappeared, and it became bright again. The sun came through the clouds shining brightly at them.They both sigh as Chaos is defeated.“What’s that noise?” asked Ruby.“Yeah. It’s so loud,” said Eric.There were loud cheers and applause as they took down the destruction of earth.“YESSSSSSS!” screamed Theo.“Well done, my boy!” shouted the Emperor.“That’s my grandson and goddaughter!” exclaimed Empress Dowager. “I mean she’s my granddaughter-in-law.”“They did it! They did it!” shouted Kevin.“Whoo-hoot!” shouted Zachery.John applauded loudly.They both landed on the ground and their spiritual powers disappeared behind them.“So, the golden dragon and the phoenix won Chaos and brought another era of peace on earth,” said the Emperor.Ruby and Eric nodded.Everyone was cheering and hugging them.“Sister-in-law,” said Elijah.“Eric,” said Adian.Both of them hugged them as well.Crackle. Crackle. Something was emerging from the wall. The blac
Everyone looked into the sky and saw a huge cloud of black mist. It’s eyes was white like the horrendous beasts.“It’s Chaos,” stuttered William.“How are we doing on that black hole?” asked the Emperor.“We’re nearly there. I nearly got it,” said William.“Hold yourself steady and closed that portal so that Eric and Ruby could focus on Chaos.”“Yes, your majesty.”Eric and Ruby both jumped up into the sky.Eric changed, “Come forth my Golden Dragon.”Out of the sky came a humongous golden dragon, shining brightly in the sky. His whole body was covered in gold. His claws was enormous, and his teeth was sharp and glistering.“Wow,” exclaimed Ruby.“Yeah. I know right. This thing took me a few years to master.”“Oh. Same with my phoenix.”“Now, let’s take down this Chaos, shall we?”Ruby nodded.Chaos summoned out a wrath of black clouds and started to shoot it at them.“Dodge it,” said Ruby. Her phoenix spiral passed the black clouds. “One shot,” shouted Ruby. Her phoenix shot out a hy
Many people from the capital who saw her was crying at the raw power Ruby was wielding. Tears were dripping down their faces as they admired the beauty she displayed. Some were weeping at her elegance. Some choked on their spit as they gulped at her goddess appearance. Some were admiring Ruby’s magic and her phoenix’s spiritual power. “Fairy Princess!” shouted Tabitha. “Go RUBY!” shouted Duke Slow. “You can do it!” shouted Empress Dowager. “That’s my woman,” smiled Eric. “The phoenix! The phoenix’s power lives!” shouted Duke Leopard. Rupert also summoned his magic to help lift the forcefield faster. He chanted away hoping that he can aid in her assistance to take down the wild beast. Many of the wild beasts stop in their track as they know who was floating in front of them. Some who dares challenge her dived at her. “Take down!” said Ruby. She flew high up into the sky and came down whooshing through everything. As she glided down the wind blew massively around them. Trees
“No. No. Please, let me atone for the sins,” cried Eric.“Eric, I love you,” said Ruby.Theo’s eyes was full of tears as this scene reminds him of when Ethan died protecting him. “No! I will not let this happen again!” He ran over to Henry and smacked him hard across the face. He fell down onto the ground. Grunting in pain as he rubbed his cheeks from the hit.Eric, hearing the commotion, turned around. “Grandfather?”Theo pinned Samantha’s father down on the ground and smashed his face into the ground. “You open this right now, or I will kill you!” He pushed his face harder into the ground.“Ahh. Help father. He’s trying to suffocate me,” cried Samantha’s father.“You dare threaten my son!” shouted Henry.“Do it or I will make you suffer miserably before you die. You know I can!” exclaimed Theo.Samantha’s father, being the coward he is, started trembling. He nodded his head in agreement.Eric ran up to Henry. He kicked Henry hard in the stomach so that he coughed up blood. He lifted
Soon the people started forming a line. The women and children and elderly were separated into a pile and move to safety. The ones who could fight and defend took a weapon in their hand and stood in front of the capital’s gate. Duke Henry who was watching Ruby was trying to isolate her from Eric, so he could trap her with the beasts. He was going to watch her get annihilated by the beast. He was going to make sure that she dies miserably as she have ruined his life. FLASHBACK Last week she and Eric came to strip him of his title. They watched as he got kicked out of his own home. Because he once served with the previous Emperor, he didn’t have to go to jail, but was humiliated by living in a shabby home. His whole family had to move to a poor and broken town. He was placed as a normal citizen until his trial started. He was criticized for his wrongdoing. He was sat on every single day by those who walked past him. Some of them threw vegetables and rotten fruits at them. Some even t
NEXT FEW WEEKS“Prince Eric,” said Simon.“What is it?” asked Eric.“There are animals running rampant lately.”“What’s the cause?”“I-I...”“What’s wrong?”Kevin was running up to Eric. “Eric, there are some strange looking creatures running through the forest,” panted Kevin. “What kind of strange looking creatures?” questioned Eric.“They’re very horrendous looking. They don’t look like any of the normal animals we usual see.”“What?”“Chaos is near,” said William who walked in on them.“How long?” asked Eric.“Soon.”“That quick, huh,” said Kevin.“Are you two almost ready?” asked William, as he looked at Eric and Ruby.“Yes, we are,” said Ruby. She grabbed Eric’s hand and held it.“Then we must prepare for the worst.”They both nodded.“Report,” shouted Zachery.“What is it?” asked Eric.“There is a black hole emerging from the eastern border.”“What? What is it?”“We’re looking into it right now as we speak.” “When it appear?”“Half an hour ago.”“That would time it to when t
