Why is the plot changing!?

Chapter 07

Well this is gonna sting a bit I thought as I sliced it through my palm. 2-3 drops of blood fell in the bowl. The water turned crystal blue. I looked at the others as they did the same thing. One by one their bowls turned blue. Four priests came and healed our hands. The priest assigned to me was a skinny boy with spectacles obviously too big for his face. He looked astonishlingly similar to Darlene. Their features were oh so similar. Is he somehow related to Darlene? I thought to myself. He was not the priest assigned to me in my previous life

" U-um can I hold your hand?" he said while fidgeting his index finger and looking at me nervously.

I snapped put of my thoughts " Ah..... yes" I said as I extended my hand towards him.

He carefully held my hand  with his one hand as if handling glass. With his other hand he healed me. There was a glow from his palm which was quite bright. I saw my palm as the cut earlier slowly started to fade away. 

" I am done now " he said 

I smiled to myself. Holy power has always intrigued me. I have often tried to understand the mystery behind this power. Wait a minute... why is he still holding my hand?.

" If you are done can you leave my hand now?." I said as I smiled gently not wanting to intimidate this already frightened child.

" Ah-hhh YES!" he said as he dropped my hand. He rushed to catch up with the other priests.

The crowd was slowly starting to disperse. I started searching for Alexander. My eyes scanned through the room until they stopped near the pillar. I saw Rupert and Alexander. I walked toward them. As I got closer I realized that Rupert was scolding Alexander. 

" Why did you tell me this so last minute!? You know how hard it was to switch them?" he said as he balled his fists like a child.

" Well we didn't get caught right?" Alexander said indifrrently with his arms crossed while leaning against the pillar.

" SIGH! I just can't with you " Rupert shrugged as he walked away.

Seeing Alexander alone I walked towards him. I wonder tho what is it that these two wanted to hide. 

He quickly fixed his posture and smiled. It sure feels weird seeing him smile at me so much.

" Emma!" he said smiling his eyes looked crecent shaped.

" About the annulment... " I directly approached the topic.

He stopped smiling " I thought I made myself clear. I am not going to agree to it. End of discussion."

AGGH I have had it. I have been patient for too long.

 " Who are you to decide its the end of discussion huh?. I am trying to have a mutual conversation with you like a normal human being you wont let me do that also. Listen  I AM GOING TO ANNUL YOU. You did not want this engagement." I said as I slightly raised my voice at him. What is wrong with me? It's not like me to loose my temper so easily.

" Well I changed my mind and there is fucking way you are leaving me Emma not in a million years. Even if you love someone else even if you cheat I will not fucking leave you. Emma remember this you are MINE." he said the last sentence with a low growl as he slowly cornered me near the pillar. Before I realized that my back was already touching the pillar

I was shocked. What is wrong with him!? . Why is he acting so.......... possessive?. I know he wants to use  me to take over the throne but this isn't like him. The original Alexander would have gladly given me the annulment. I am sure that he can take over the throne even without my help.

I shot a glare at him. " What the hell is wrong with you!?"

He took a step closer. I could feel his breath on my neck " You have no idea Emma, you really have no idea" saying that he paused for a moment.

Why.... does he look so pitiful? He looked like as if he is trying to hide something.

" Emma I love you. I am not going to let go of you." he started breathing heavily. He made his way out of the temple.

I was in a daze. What..... did he just say?. I love you?. These were the words I yearned to listen from him my entire life. Why would he say them out of the blue like that. Why won't he let me go?. Agh this is so confusing and frustrating at the same time I thought as I riffled through my hair. Oh!? everyone has left? I am the only person here. The carriage must be waiting outside. I  exited.

But... it's strange I didn't see HIM( ooh new character hohoho) today. Knowing him he wouldn't miss a chance to see me.  I thought as I got goosebumps remembering what he did in the past.

UKNOWN POV:

Aghhh I was breathing heavily as I slumped down the floor. I smelled hand. It smells just like her. Ah Emma my goddess. Don't worry I won't let get anyone get between us.

AUTHOR POV:
