Gentle Touch

ROMANS POV;

"My father's dead." I told Melody. It was the next night after the chaotic events. Me and Melody were sitting on the couch as she was still taking in everything. "Your not sad?" She asked. I shook my head. "He wasn't much of a father figure, though I did care a lot for him." I whispered. "I'm sorry for your loss" Melody said, before scooting onto my lap, wrapping her arms around me.

"Well, in order for the village to be safe, it needs a king. And now they don't have one. So in order for the throne, I have to marry, or my brother does, and we both know he isn't going to be the best king for our kingdom to stay alive." I tried to explain. "What are you trying to say..?" She whispered. I stared at her, "I'm sa-"
I was quickly cut off by her, "I'm not going to marry you so you can have a dumb crown on your head!" She yelled, pouting.

"Baby, please. I do love you, and I do want to marry you, there's more in this besides the crown.. I can have you for the rest of my life." I calmly explained. "No. This is the stupidest way to ask me to commit to you!!.." silence filled the air before she spoke again. "Get out." Melody's voice cracked as tears flooded her eyes. "Mel.." I said, before reaching to grab her arm. She stepped back quickly. "Get out!" She yelled.

My heart had felt like it just broke into a thousand pieces as tears rolled down her blushed red cheeks.

A wave of emotions washed over me as I could feel my eyes take on everything. I could feel my breath rising, and my skin had chills running up them.

Mel's face quickly turned, as she backed up. "Roman" she asked. "Everything I've done for you? And you can't let me put a ring on your damn finger AND LET ME LOVE YOU?!"

MELODY'S POV;

Veins popped out of his head and hands, his skin turned pale, as his eyes turned red.
"Roman stop" I told him. He looked down at me with frowned eyes. As if he was holding everything back. His breathing started to pick up before I quickly ran to room at the back of the apartment, slamming the door shut.

"Um.. care to knock" isa asked, as she sat on her bed. "Wait.. why are you crying" she asked once again as I turned around. Banging hit the door. "WHAT THE FUCK" she screamed, I started uncontrollably sobbing.

Wood went flying as an arm broke the material of the door. "I just wanna talk to you, Mel" said the voice behind the door.

It didn't even sound like Roman. His voice was echoing and rough.

"Melody, go through the window" isa whispered. I nodded before running towards the window and tugging it open. I looked down to see about 4 level to my ankles breaking. "Baby.. PLEASE" yelled Roman as more wood flew around the room. I looked down, hesitant to jump.

"FUCK! MEL, GO" I herd isa say before my body was pushed, shock fell threw me as wing blew in my face. My arm hit the floor before I could take another breath.

Pain bursted through my arm as I screamed. "holy shit, are yo-" isa was cut off with her own blood hurdling screams.

I tried getting back on my feet, but my ankle was weak as pain shot through it.

I pushed myself up and I ran, limping as I slowly dashed across the apartments.

a strong wave of air knocked me down, before weight was pressed onto me. I looked up to see Roman's hooded red eyes studying my face. I heard the creams of strangers around me.

I could feel pressure on my neck before my vision got blurry. "Why won't you let me just love you." Was the last thing I heard before I completely lost consciousness.
