She Prince

Third Person P. O. V

“There she is ,” WanKe walks out of the room when he noticed XuXu coming. They smile at each other like siblings meeting each other after a long time.

“How do I look?,” She asks standing opposite to WanKe in distance, brushing off the strands of hair behind her ear her eyes glints in happiness.

“You look…,” His heart stops for a moment, his pupil delates in horror, panic flaring in his eyes as the fear paralyzes his body.

XuXu lets out a weird sound not having the strength to move her muscles she cringes, the colour draining from her face when she feels the hard punch on the back at her muscles the hot feeling of blade while she is winded. Her new clothes turns to be sticky when the material absorbs the blood. Electricity wired through her nerves exploding in her mind with a blinding of whiteness making her dizzy.

WanKe tries to speak or move but he couldn’t. He keeps a step forward with his wobbly legs terror mounted with every step.

She lets out a loud scream excruciatingly when the person pulls out the sword making her to stumble forward, her body feeling the hot blood flowing out from her stomach and behind. She hunches over tightly clutching over her sticky dress, her throat goes dry making her difficult to speak yet she lets out a scream when she stumbles forward, her body shivering violently.

Wanke holds her weak body with his trembling hands helping her to lay on the floor as she begins to fall on the ground struggling to draw breath. He stays on his knees holding her in his arms looking down at her, fear clawed up his throat. Her blood pressure goes down as her body turns cold beginning to function slowly.

She tries to smile but it is shaky making his heart break, he could literally hear it crack in his chest . He is rooted there on that spot his vision only on her making the his surroundings blur not knowing what’s happening around them. All the voices and noises fades away as his whole senses only focuses on her.

“WanKe watch out,” HenYu calls out rushing towards them he pushes the man behind WanKe crawling over him he punches and slaps across his face gaining the courage out of nowhere. HenYu is someone who is afraid of fighting and getting hurt, he always struggles to defend himself first but today he is someone who is different.

The surrounding has began to be in chaos a few minutes ago when some men barged in with the same outfit as WanKe which he wears when going out to investigate. The noisy environment of them fighting and the sound of things crashing along with the shouts of the people never got into Wanke’s ears.

“No, Please,” his voice breaks begging her to stay awake.

“I… c.. an.. s. e. e my m.. o.. m,” she reaches out her right hand and touches the side of his face gently, he leans into it looking at her into the eyes “Thank You ,” she utters her voice weak barely audible her lip movement makes him understand her.

“Don’t! please don’t, please,” his voice quivers, moving his hand up to his cheek he holds her palm into his.

A single tear rolls down his cheek watching her in this state, the whole cheerful girl turned to be dull in his sight. She has always been close to WanKe when he helped her after the death of her parents. XuXu’s life has always been miserable as she was from a poor family and her parents lost their lives right in front of her eyes when the place they lived in burnt due to an accident. She has always been by Wanke’s side as a sister helping him. XuXu followed JiangYi to help WanKe but unexpectedly she heard something which she shouldn’t and JiangYi found out that she was the one who has been following him all this while. XuXu hesitated to tell WanKe what she heard last night because it’s something which will break his heart.

She grips on his hanfu tightly with her left hand letting out a weird dry sound trying to inhale her breath. WanKe holds her tight begging god to let this be a bad dream.

“Mas… ter. W.. n yo.. ur…,” she speaks in difficulty her words not being formed or being heard making him horrified. The edges of her vision turns black and she feels like her hand is made of lead her grip on his dress loosens feeling tired letting the darkness consume her.

“No.. No.. XuXu you are going to be fine,” he cries clutching her hand tightly, her body turns icy and her movement stops. Her eyes looking straight at him yet not to be seen.

“XuXu,” he tremors moving his hand in which he held hers down, he stares at her his mind stopped functioning.

“No, No.. Don’t leave me,” he cries his last three words coming out as a whisper, holding her tight he moves down pulling her up to a hug digging his face over her shoulder begging her to wake up.

Pushing the man off the second floor wooden rail grill Feng Lei turns around, his eyes fixes on WanKe who is bent over XuXu hugging her tight. He walks towards her his heart eager to comfort her but he stops in his tracks when he hears her mourns growing despondent. His heart breaks when her desperate voice gets into his ears begging her to wake up.

Their surrounding is completely messed up all the men who were fighting ran out not being able to handle the scene, the people who were in rushed out immediately protecting themselves. Xiang took all the maids and the other workers to a private room locking them in safely, her sobs filling the room in the thought of her friend. Feng Lei, HenYu and ChengLi stands around WanKe, wiping away the tears from his cheeks with the back of his palm HenYu walks away followed by ChengLi who tries to comfort him.

“Please don’t leave me,” WanKe whimpers sorrowfully shedding her tears.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
