"Wait!" I yelled to him, and swam as fast as I could. Confused soldiers were pushed out of the way as I made my way to the blonde blur in front. Unfortunately, I was trespassing, and several soldiers started chasing me.
"Get her!" one yelled.
I decided that since I was going to get caught anyway, I may as well get who I came for first.
"Come back! I just want to talk!" I called after him.
He heard me, and for a beautiful moment he turned around slowly, revealing his perfect blue eyes, that were scrunched in confusion, but still handsome.
"My lady, what have you done!?" He exclaimed in horror, seeing all of the other guards behind me.
"I just want to talk to you! Please tell them to go away!" I said.
"I'm sorry, but you cannot interrupt our mission! Return home, before I am forced to apprehend you!" he answered threateningly.
His words delivered a crack to my heart, but I didn't give up.
"I just wanted to thank you for saving me! Please tell me you feel the same way that I do!" I said.
One of the guards grabbed me tail. Then another.
"I simply saved you because it was my job! I haven't any feelings for you!" he snapped.
The guards were taking us apart, but that confession is what really finished the job.
