The Princess And The Demon

The young man stared at Sara as she stared at him, his eyes were also filled with astonishment, his lips slightly parted as he kept on looking at her, not that he could be blamed, her beauty was incomparable, something he never saw before, the two remained silent for a while as she was laying in his arms, a weird feeling jumped into Sara's heart, it was uncomfortable yet she wished it would remain for a bit longer, her face was blushing as she kept thinking of herself in his arms, the young man did not seem to miss that so he helped her to sit properly and pulled himself away from her, Sara instantly felt cold and sad and wished to jump back to his arms once more, 'What is happening to me?' she asked herself...

The young man stood up gracefully, and walked toward Sara's dress, he grabbed it and took it back to her, than bowed on a single knee saying in his gentle hypnotizing voice

"Your cloths my lady, it is cold so you better dress up before you get sick, i'll be standing near by till you finish"

Sara nodded,then took her cloths and watched him walk ahead giving her his back, He stood before the river not looking back, not peeping at her when he thought she wasn't looking, she was used to such behavior from the priests but this man didn't look, not even once...

He was surrounded with a noble aura, Sara thought while wearing her dress, his actions and manners were far above a commoner's manners, the way he talked, the way he walked, the way he moved so elegantly, they were more like her father's...

Sara dressed up quickly but carefully, trying to straighten her dress and hair in the process, she did not want to look shaggy in front of this young man, she wished she had a miror to check herself, but she didn't have one, not even in the shack.. so she blindly fixed her hair before coughing..

When he heard her coughs, the young man asked politely before even turning "Are you done Miss? "

Sara answered in a low shy voice "I did Sir, I am very sorry for bothering you"

The young man turned, and their eyes couldn't help but meet again, this time he walked toward her with that hypnotizing look and bright smile, Sara felt more stressed the closer he got, her heart was beating so fast she could feel it was about to stop, he stood only one step away from her and his smile got brighter as he continued to look her in the eyes...

"You look much livelier Miss, and you can even talk now, I'm presuming you are okay then"

"All thanks to you sir, I owe you with my life" she bowed slightly while saying this, blushing in the process...

"I did nothing but my duty Miss, i just hope you are more careful next time" The man replied humbly, giving her the sweetest smile she ever saw..

"I will be, Thank you again sir"

"If you may Miss, I'd like to escort you back to where you live, I... my heart will not settle till i make sure you get home safe"

Sara felt like she was flying, even her father didn't show her that much care and tenderness, but she had to reject the young man's offer, not only because her father would kill him if he knew and her life would be threatened, but also because, Well, this young man was obviously noble and, she lived in an old shack..

"Oh no need Sir, I'm perfectly fine now thanks to you, and i have troubled you long enough, i better go now... " Sara said while grabbing her basket and bucket and walking away from the young man,

"Please Miss let me help you"

"Oh no please, my father would be looking for me and he is very strict and.... " Sara lied through her teeth, she didn't want to but she had to...

"Oh i see, i will not cause you any trouble then, yet may i ask for one thing please?" The man said in an acknowledging tone, sounding both sad and hopeful..

"O.. Oh? of course Sir "

"What is your name my fair lady?"

Sara blushed immediately, her face became red and hot, she turned to walk away and said.. "Sara, my name is Sara" and walked faster.. when was far enough, the young man called "Sara.... ", She turned with surprise written all over her face and stared at the young man behind her, he was smiling ,his eyes were as warm as sunset, looking divinely beautiful..

" My name is Eren.."

Sara smiled back at him, she said his name in low voice then turned and went home with Eren gaze glued to her back...
