Villainess Becomes The Knight

Abigail pov contd

"Abigail, where the hell are you?" I could hear him shouting but I was sure he could not see me anymore due to the darkness of the area. We were in the deepest part of the forest. It was too dark to see anything.

"Hundred, stop it." I shouted at the horse who had turned completely crazy. It started trotting high and I had to hold tightly to maintain my balance. 

As if the trigger had been pressed, hundred fully gave up. He trotted high in the air, and this time I was not not lucky enough to hold myself and fell from him.

His body finally gave up and he threw me on the ground and then fell himself.

I felt my body suddenly rising in the air. The smell of wet grass and soil filled my nose. The air was so soft and comforting that for a moment I forgot about my pain, but it hit hard when I finally fell on the ground.

"Aarrgghh" I winced in pain when I was thrown headlong to the ground. I laid there for a while collecting my strength. It was the second time I have seen my death this close.

As if it was playing hide and seek with me for a long time. 

"You can not die this early, you have a mission to accomplish."  I heard such a clear distinct voice in my ears as if the person was right there, laying beside me and whispering it in my ears. I could neve forget this voice. The same voice which gave me a second chance to save the life of my loved ones.

I get my whole back breaking apart. The pain was stronger than I had thought. The touch was rough of hard soil,  and some thorns. ,so I could not grasp the situation of where I was and just laid there as I had no strength left to hold myself again.

"Abigail.. .little bird..'' I heard him shouting again, but this time the voice was much closer than before.

I heard the heavy footsteps and soon the man was standing in front of me.

"Why are you not telling?" She shouted with anger and I felt annoyed. I knew that he was here for me, but why the hell was he the one who was angry?

"Because I am in pain and I don't have the strength to shout." I replied and was annoyed.

He sat beside me with a small smile as he said, "aren't you shouting now?" his hands gently held me yet it pained. 

"Argh" I winced again and his hold on me loosened.

"I need to carry you little bird so that we can go back." he explained gently and i nodded.

"Give me some time. I will be fine." Then I looked around. Though being so deep in the forest is a disadvantage, one benefit was there were all kinds of herbs and roots available.

  He held my head and gently adjusted it on his lap as he sat there in the mud. 

"Abi, you would not be able to walk even if you have been given the whole day, why not carry you?" he asked gently. 

He held my scattered hair on my face and tucked them behind my ears. Then gently he rubbed my face and cleaned the dirt over it. His expressions were too soft and gentle. He was looking like a lover who was hurt looking at his beloved in pain. I wanted to laugh as the thought crossed my mind. He was just concerned. Or was he really?

"Have you known me for a long time, William? Why do I feel there is something in your eyes each time you see me in trouble?" I asked what I had been feeling for a long time and the smile on his face turned stiff.

"If you would have known me, you would have remembered the little bird, tell me, do you remember me?" when he asked this question. Something flashed in his eyes that I could not understand but I didn't want to continue this hide and seek anymore.

"I do not remember my past well, I have forgotten most of it due to an accident and the trauma of my mothers death. Even if i had been with you, i did not remember it well, not because i do not want to, it is because of my physical condition.'' I replied with the best possible excuse and he looked at me stunned.

"But I never heard you getting into an accident?" he asked, worried, so much worried that I was sure that if I would not have been injured, he would have taken me into his arms already.

"My father did not want to let other nobles know about my condition. I have only lost my past memories but I am fine in every other way. But you know how rumors spread in our society. So, it is better to keep it this way." I replied but he did not give any reaction. He just continued to look at me with those worried eyes in the end. As if the dam of his emotions he was trying to hold broke open and he could not control himself anymore, he hugged me and kissed my forehead.

  Knowing the personality he had, I should have struggled and jerked him away or at least protested but I felt a sudden peace when he held me. A warm feeling engulfed my heart and I didn't want to let him go away. I want to be in his arms like that forever.

  It was a feeling of security that I have felt for the first time in a long while.

"Tell me, William, do we know each other?" I asked again as he had not replied for the first time.

"I have known you since ages, little bird and I have craved for you since centuries, but you have forgotten me long ago, so did this even matter? Did our relationship even have a place in front of harsh realities? So it us better to keep it this way"

"..............."
