—and stopped. right before it pierced him.
her hand wouldn't let her, the sharp point staying in place. she closed her eyes, letting out the breath she didn't realize she was holding.
and accepting her defeat against herself.
"prince kai, i know you've helped and saved countless of others. i wish for you to know that i'm one of them, and that i remember you—i always will," she said, taking one of his hands that was around a bouquet of flowers and holding it in hers. "i can't bring myself to take yours, when you have saved mine."
it was a small gesture, and it might've not made much of a difference to him. but it definitely made all the difference to her. she can't bring herself to kill him, especially when he had done nothing wrong.
the slow rise and fall of his chest and the color in his cheeks showed that he was alive.
but how to break the spell? her head raced with possibilities, but there was very little of them. she wasn't an expert in this field, knowing only enough to understand them. she knew the hardest spells to break were the ones broken by...
a true love's kiss.
her face flushed red at the thought. what a crazy idea...
after some more thinking, she came to the inevitable conclusion that it was her only one. well, the only one that had potential of working. the next one was to scream in his ear.
she should at least try right? who knows, it might work. but this would be her first kiss. the realization made her pause halfway, her face feeling like it was on fire.
"oh my god!" she exclaimed. "get yourself together!"
it was only a small kiss—no big deal, right? taking a deep breath, she looked around, suddenly conscious. after much freaking out, she decided to do it for real this time.
she leaned closer, her face warm and her eyes shut. like she was about to be kicked by a horse.
