A Knights Tale

she looked back at him and stood up.
"there's no need to look so torn up. it's all right. i'm over it. you have to do what you have to do and i'll be okay."

 

"you're sure? i won't kill him if you don't want me to...." Phenox said

 

yume looked at him with serious eyes.
"it's not up to me and you know it."

 

Phenox looked at her. "if you don't want me to.... just say so."

 

"it won't matter..."

 

Phenox was curious to why she said that. "why?"

 

"Becuse, once I return to the castle, I won't be able to come back out..." said Felix, "actually I would be, but I would be with a gaurd."

 

Eva looked up at him, many emotions in her eyes, but sadness and pity were dominant. "I'm sorry..." she murmured, trying to control herself.

 

"there is no need to be sorry." said Felix, hideing his sadness.

 

"because..."
she thought for a minute.
"even if i say don't something willl probably happen and you won't refrain from fighting."

 

"i can try." Phenox smiled warmly.

 

Eva smiled slightly. "It's my fault." she whispered, holding onto the wall. "I am really sorry..."

 

yume smiled a little and then went to sit down on the bed.
"we'll see"

 

"what is your fault?" said Felix.

 

Phenox smiled. "i'll try..." he had a sincere voice.

 

Eva smiled slightly. "I was like you, but....I stayed away." She closed her eyes. "I wish I could have helped you."

 

"It's okay..." said Felix whinceing as he leaned agianst a wall.

 

"all right. i'll take your word for it."

 

Eva's eyes opened slowly as she watched him. "How long do you have?" she whispered, feeling so tired...what was wrong with her?

 

"Around a half an hour..." said Felix.
