We'll chase them away
This night was a starry one and over the cold lights of the skyscrapers laid the gentle shimmer of the moonlight. Thousands of stars sparkled on the dark sky, thousands of little lights shone but non of them was able to overcome the city-lights.
She was different, standing there on the balcony in her long, white dress.
She was brighter than them.
She was stronger than them.
It was cold outside and so he could see his own breath as he stepped out of the door too.
He knew why she was awake at this time although he could not see her face.
She had a lot of bad dreams when she slept alone in her room.
A lot of nightmares, that flashed and crashed in her sleep and forced her to wake up.
She did not really know why she had those dreams but she was sure that they will kill her someday.
And the meaning of this visions were unclear too.
She was worried about the future, yes, that was something he knew.
And something he could understand.
For a moment he just stood there with his gaze up to her.
The stars above their heads glowed but compared with her, they were just sparks and she was the flame.
He was dazzled by this light, like he was it all the time when he was with her.
But it wasn't a bad feeling.
Because of her, he had learned to see with his heart too.
Not an easy exercise for a mistrustful person like him. He had every reason for being so.
But she would never betray him. When he knew one thing for sure, than it was her loyalty.
She had left everything behind for him.
She had given away everything. Her family. Her kingdom.
She had become a traitor in their eyes but had done the most important thing.
She was herself now. There was no mask anymore. She was finally herself.
He was proud of her. He was thankful in every way.
But in some case he was also afraid.
Most of the time he thought that she was too good for him. Too pure.
Although he knew that she was not that innocent, she could never be cruel. Never.
Not like her family. There was no way to be like that for her.
By now, she realized his present, but still stares up to the night sky.
He followed her glance to that very light over their heads. It was so cold.
Even he winched by the sight of it and he knew death already.
There was death everywhere around him. And she was the life.
She was the light and no one could ever resist her, no one could stop loving her.
He could least. For her was everything he needed in his life.
Because the entire darkness around him wasn't worth living without her light.
He knew that she needed him like he needed her and so he could not endure her standing there alone in the cold.
With a few steps he was behind her and caught her into a gingerly embrace.
She took his hands without saying a word and he felt the warmth of her touch.
"Nightmares again?", he asked softly and she nodded weakly.
"The same like always.", she answered him without turning her gaze away from the sky.
He knew what she was talking about. What she was dreaming about.
"Don't worry about it.", he tried to comfort her while he leaned his head against her shoulder.
He crossed his right hand with hers. "Everything will be alright. I am sure about it."
She finally looked at him with her sparkling, golden eyes.
"But i am afraid.", she said sadly. "I am not strong enough.", she bowed her head.
"You don't have to be the strongest. You are not alone anymore."
He gently lifted her chin so he could look into her eyes. "I am with you."
There was a little smile on her lips. The sparks in her eyes were bright. She seemed thankful.
But before she could thank him for something which was so natural for him, he leaned towards her.
He closed his eyes while he pressed his lips against hers.
When he separated from her a moment later, he leaned his forehead against hers.
"I promise.", he stroked her hair behind her ears again. "I promise to stay with you."
She smiled brightly, held their crossed hands up so they were in front of her chest.
"Forever?", it was more a statement than a question.
"Until the worlds end and longer than that.", he smiled too, a slightly but warm smile.
He pulled her closer to him, his blue eyes had turned red.
"You don't have to be afraid too.", she said with her melodic voice.
In his eyes laid a hint of surprise, that fated away quickly. Of course she knew.
Than his smile turned a bit worried and sad.
"I know you are afraid of losing me.", she went on. "That you could fail by protecting me."
His gaze was lost in her golden eyes.
"Yes.", he said so quietly that only she could understand his words. "That would be the biggest loss."
By the thought of losing her he flinched.
"You will never lose me.", she said. "Never."
In Unbelief he looked at her.
"You said this, you remember? That they can never separate us. That we will be together."
"That's right.", his words came slowly.
"I believe in this. I believe in that tale. I believe in you.", she put her hands behind his neck and pulled him towards her.
"I will keep this promise.", she whispered and kissed him.
"And i will keep you safe.", he said when she laid her head against his shoulder, closed her eyes.
"I will chase all your fears away. We will be safe. Safe and sound."
