Close to you Ost : ( they long to be )
----------------+-----------------------------
Gaining Andrew's attention towards her, Andrew stopped moving, hearing her voice calling him.
Some where in his heart, he felt safe and sound when he heard her voice call for him. He felt as if everything will be okay now that she is here.
Andrew's lips opened and he called her.
"Lady Isabelle"
Recognising the owner of the voice.
"Don't move, Andrew"
Isabelle instruct him not to mve any more.
By the looks of it, anyone can tell that the tree was hollow from inside, making the situation even more dangerous. One mistake here can kill Andrew.
The roots of the tree was let lose, making it even more hard to reach Andrew, the tree was almost half leaned towards the cliff, that a little pressure on the tree, can make the whole tree fall down into the deep cliff.
Isabelle thought to herself,
'Now, this is called a real cliff hanger'
She walks close to him, carefully placing her steps on the ground, but by accident she steps on a dry branch, making a cracking sound.
Andrew being blindfolded, his seeing sence is closed, but this made his hearing sence even more better.
Hearing the cracking sound of the dry branch, Andrew got confused, about where he could be, because he, himself don't know in what situation he was in. Being blindfolded he really can't understand, but he can feel his body being tied down by something.
Duke Vladimir staring from the ball room of the old burnt castle, bangs his fist on the window of the ball room, making the glass of the window crack.
"My lady, what's happening, I do not know, or even if I wanted to, I can't"
Andrew said scared, his heartbeat beating in his heart, his heart beats was so loud that even he can hear it.
"Do not feel scared, my dear"
Isabelle said moving close to him.
"Where I am, my lady"
He said in a sobbing tone like he was about to cry.
The duke staring at them from the ball room of the castle, his blue eyes turned black from a second and again came back to it's regular colour, then the tree started leaning more towards the cliff, making Andrew fall.
The duke disappears from the scene.
"Do not speak"
While Isabelle was removing the rope from Andrew's body, when suddenly the tree leaned even more towards the cliff, the old dry roots of it couldn't hold the weight of the tree plus Andrew, the roots got disconnect from the soil, making Andrew fall into the cliff.
Isabelle shocked from this incident that she couldn't catch him.
"Ahhhhhhh"
Andrew screamed, his scream even more loud because of the cliff.
Not wasting the time she jumped jumped into the cliff, following him,
Her hand reaching for him, but couldn't because of the distance.
Andrew was about to hit the ground, but before his body could hit the ground and become cold and soulless, she catches him, holding him close to herself.
Andrew being in her arms, she held him like a kid who was sleeping peacefully.
Landing her feets on the ground with Andrew being in her arms.
While he was falling down father into the cliff, his blindfold moved away from his eyes, giving him a peek of the scene present in front of him.
He saw Isabelle jumping too into the cliff after him and before he could see any father, the blindfold came back to its place, covering his eyes once again.
He felt a warm touch holding him gently before losing his consciousness.
His lost consciousness could be because of the fear and his hard beating heart inside his chest.
"Andrew?"
She said worried.
Her voice worried, and caring, she was scared, if any thing happened to him. She touched his face lightly, removing the blindfold from his eyes, his eyes closed.
She can hear his slow heartbeats means he is alive, but lost consciousness.
"Andrew?"
She called again, but hearing no reply, she blew a light air on his face, his eyelashes moved because of the air.
His heartbeat still beating inside his chest gave her relief. She walked ahead with unconscious Andrew in her arms.
She can not teleport with a unconscious person in her arms, this could give a large damage to his health and his slow heartbeats can stop. So, she decided to walk.
Coming back to his consciousness. Andrew felt a warm touch holding him, he opened his eyes a little and saw the trees moving back, and the bright moon in the sky, stars giving the sky a enchanting look, the darkness highlighting the light of it, making the scenario more bewitching.
He was so lost in it that he couldn't hear Isabelle calling him.
Isabelle stopped her movements and this made Andrew come back to earth again, he turned around to look at Isabelle's face.
He thought,
'She is beautiful'
"Andrew, why are you not focusing?"
"Yes, My lady"
Came his slow reply.
"I asked, if you are okay and you can walk?"
Isabelle asked worried.
"Yes, my lady–
No, my lady"
"Choose, carefully, or are you enjoying my warmth?"
Isabelle said chuckling, teasing Andrew, her eyes catching the spark.
Andrew's cheeks heat up, hearing her word and the way she teased him, he blushed hard, he moved and tried his best to free himself from her grips, but failed.
She laughed,
"No need"
And walked ahead once again.
Andrew once again thought,
'She is beautiful'
And just stared at her, the moon light shining on her face, gave her a different goddess like look, more bewitching.
He was lost in her eyes, that he didn't noticed that he moved closer to her, griping onto her a NB d hiding his face between her neck.
He thought to himself,
'her charm, her sweet voice'
He inhaled her sweet fragrance and let himself sleep peacefully in her warm arms
'her fragrance'
'her fragrance?!!'
He shook his head denying his own self.
'Are you crazy, Andrew'
He once again stared at Isabelle.
