Note from Eve: Hey guys this is my first fic, I hope you enjoy it.
It was 2:00 am and all of Alexandria castle was sound asleep. Dagger awoke from a bad dream, Zidane never returning. But as she pondered the events that took place this afternoon she couldn't help but to smile.
Zidane had indeed come back to her. She remembered the long awaited embrace that they shared and all of Alexandria cheering for them. It was perhaps the happiest moment of her life.
Dagger climbed out of bed, placed on her white fluffy robe along with her slippers and made her way to the room Zidane was staying in.
Just before opening the door, she let down her brown silky hair which flowed down her back. She then let herself into the room, closing the door gently behind her.
Dagger stood there smiling at her beloved. He looks so peaceful in his sleep. She thought.
She made her way over to the bed and sat beside him stroking his hair while looking down at him. Then, she kissed his forehead.
"Zidane…" Dagger said in a soft whisper. He didn't respond.
"Zidane…" She said a bit louder.
"Hmm..?" Zidane slowly opened his eyes to see Daggers angelic figure sitting next to him.
"Dagger? What are you doing in my room? You should be sleeping..Oh I see." A wide grin then spread across his face. "You came for some lovin'."
She smiled at him and giggled.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep; can I stay here with you?" Dagger looked into Zidane's crystal blue eyes.
Zidane smirked. "Okay, you can stay here for the night."
Dagger smiled sweetly and climbed into the bed next to him. He is so warm and smells so good too. Dagger thought.
They both lay there in each others embrace and after awhile fell fast asleep.
Dagger and Zidane awoke in the morning due to the commotion outside of the bedroom door.
"Oh no! The Queen was kidnapped! Ahhhhhhh!"
"Captain Steiner, Please be quiet. Shouting up and down the castle isn't going to help. So shut up."
Steiner blushed. "My apologies, General Beatrix."
"Don't apologize; just don't let it happen again."
Dagger giggled at the conversation that was going on outside. Zidane just shook his head and smirked.
"What do we do Beatrix?" Steiner asked.
"I'm sure the Queen is around here somewhere. She isn't a child anymore Steiner. She is the Queen. She probably went for a walk with Zidane."
Steiner frowned. "I miss her being a princess..."
Beatrix smiled at Steiner and placed a hand upon his shoulder. "I know…I do sometimes as well. Now, Get back to work!"
"Yes Ma'am!" Steiner saluted Beatrix and left.
Dagger looked at Zidane and kissed his lips softly.
"I love you so much Zidane…"
Zidane looked into her eyes and then down at the ground. Zidane loved Dagger more than anything in the world but he just couldn't tell her. He was afraid to settle down with her. He is afraid he would hurt her and also… Being a king? That is just ludicrous. He could never think of himself being a king. It scared him. He missed being with Tantalus traveling the world performing plays and being a thief. That is his life… That's who he is.
"Zidane… Say something please." She had a worried look on her face.
He looked up at her.
"Dagger…" He took a deep breath and looked away once again.
"What is it, Zidane?" She looked at him confused and began stroking his cheek with her hand.
"I'm sorry…I just don't feel the same way that you do. I don't feel the same anymore."
Dagger removed her hand from Zidane's cheek. Her eyes began to water and her face turned somewhat pale.
Zidane got up off the bed and began to back away slowly towards the door.
"So that's it huh!?! You come all the way back to Alexandria just to tell me you no longer have feelings for me!? All of a sudden you don't love me!? What kind of crap is that Zidane!?"
"Dagger..Please, lets just talk about this without yelling."
"Dagger please!? Don't give me that sensitive tone of yours Zidane! You just told me you don't love me!"
Dagger was now breathing heavily due to the rage she had built up inside.
With that she tackled Zidane onto the bed & began to pound on his chest angrily.
She had tears streaming down her cheeks.
Steiner heard all the ruckus and ran up to the room that Dagger was in.
"Your Highness? Is everything okay in there?"
"Not now Steiner! I'm having a conversation with Zidane!"
"I apologize my Queen."
He then left silently.
Zidane then grabbed both of her fists in one hand & sat up, holding onto her so she would stop hitting him. She squirmed to get out of his grasp but of course he was too strong for her. He began to whisper in her ear & she immediately calmed down listening to his soft voice in her ear. She closed her eyes as he spoke.
"I'm so sorry I did this to you Dagger…I should not have come back."
With that he exited the room not looking back.
She then ran to Zidane wrapping her arms around him tightly.
"I know you don't mean what you say…" She began to sob in his arms.
This tore Zidane up inside. He didn't want to see her cry…He just wanted to hold her forever and kiss her tears away. But he was afraid to get too close to her. He removed himself from Dagger's embrace and backed away from her.
"I, I have to go." He left it at that and walked out of the bedroom.
Dagger chased him down the hallway.
"Zidane! Please, don't leave me!"
She followed him through the whole castle. But he didn't stop…He was afraid that if he would stop he would give in…
By this time, everyone in the castle had turned their attention to the two lovers. They all just watched in silence.
Zidane reached the castle doors and Dagger was still yelling for him not to go.
"Zidane, please! You don't realize how much I love you! I need you…Don't go..."
He then opened the doors and walked out of the castle without looking back.
Dagger fell to her knees, broken and confused.
