The Queen and Her King

My Hero (Part Two)

Brielle gently put her hand on his cheek for a moment,

"I love you so much"

She whispered before going back to the task at hand, Harry couldn't help but feel lighter at her comment.

Brielle then quickly zipped it up and created more friction over his newly covered arms. Harry became more alert as warmth finally greeted him, warmth from his jacket, warmth from Brielle's touch, but also the warmth in his heart as he looked at Brielle. He was scared for her safety, but man was he glad to see her,

"Y-Ye f-found me... h-how?"

Brielle looked up at him with a smile as she configured his sword holster for him,

"I'll tell you all about it later once we're both safe okay?"

Harry nodded some, Brielle brushing his hair back with her fingers and putting his hat on. Then she took the bandana which didn't just keep her warm but also shielded her identity off of her and put it on his face instead, making sure it was nice and snug,

"This will help get you warm again. You need help standing up?"

She quickly whispered, Harry nodded some in return as his legs were basically numbed out jello. Brielle took both of his ice-cold hands in hers and hoisted him up on to his feet, Harry stumbling into her in the process but quickly regaining his bearings. He was shaky but not as bad as even he thought it would be. Brielle took a second and brought both of his hands together and held them in hers and brought them up to her lips, giving up some heat from her breath to warm his hands. Brielle hooked his hook onto one of his belts and put his arm around her shoulder to help him get his walking bearings again,

"If we need to fight our way out of here do you think you can?"

Brielle whispered as they began up the stairs. Harry was getting warm again, so he felt as if they did get into a fight he would warm up more due to adrenaline and all the movement,

"Y-Yeah, I can m-muster"

Brielle smiled at him and nodded,

"You're so brave, so strong"

She whispered with such heavy admiration. This gave Harry determination, he shook himself out of his victim mentality and began supporting himself, leaning less on Brielle and pushing aside the fact that he was still frigid,

"B-Be careful, my d-dad said h-he'd kill ya i-if ya tried t-ta rescue me"

Harry whispered as they made their way up the last of the stairs, Brielle scoffed,

"I'd like to see him try"

She muttered. Harry took a second to just love how she wasn't afraid of his father, knowing she'd probably challenge him before he challenged her. Harry sucked back as the ticking sound was still there. Brielle looked at him in confusion as he seemed to be listening very intently,

"What is it?"

She whispered as she tried to pull him along, knowing there was no danger out there right now,

"T-Ticking"

He whispered. Brielle quickly urged him to continue,

"It's just a clock, I brought it here to scare your dad off it's not the crocodile"

She frantically whispered as she knew the clock was going to run out soon. Harry took a breath of major relief and got his legs going some more, joining Brielle in going up the stairs quicker as he realized how smart the clock idea was, he was going to have to hear out Brielle's plan and thought process as to how she figured out where he was and how she made a plan to get him back when this was over. 

Brielle led him up to the door and looked around, no one was around. She grabbed onto Harry's hand and tightly held it and walked out, staying close if not in the shadows. Harry also stayed very vigilant, constantly looking around and making sure he didn't accidentally make any unwanted noise. Brielle took a second to analyze, the two pirates were still guarding the bridge and she didn't know if Harry had the energy to make the jump she had to get on here. 

Brielle didn't want to take any chances with Harry, but an alternate decision was made for them as the clock ticking stopped.
