"You don't understand anything at all!" Devlin shouted and slammed his foot down, his hands to his palms to his face as he brushed his hair a bit violently. "Why can't you let us be together? We're not like those rich people that keep their family fortune to themselves! Why can't you let me and Yuri be together?" "Devlin, you need to understand. She's too young for you. We can't allow you to marry such a leech--" His father tried to calm him down but Devlin was in no mood to calm down. At least, not that easily. "No, you, stop talking right now!" He pointed a disrespecting finger at his own father. "We're what, a few year less than ten apart and you forbid us? We have not done anything wrong so why are you so worried about? And why the hell are you calling her a leech. You didn't even want to get to know the girl. What gives you the right to tell her what she is when you don't even know what she looks--?" Devil stopped as Bastion's, his father's, fist landed on his pain. He staggered backwards and felt pain in his jaw. His father had punched him without removing his gauntlet and it had hurt. "So that's it, huh?" Devlin told his father. "You'll do anything to stop me from marrying a girl younger than me while you yourself got drunk in a tavern and had no choice but to marry my mother, huh?" "That was a mistake, Devlin, I was young and foolish back then," Bastion simply replied. "Oh, you mean I was a mistake," Devlin retorted and stood up straight. "Young and foolish? Then what am I? I'm old enough to take care of myself and I'm sure I won't be making the same mistake you did. At least I have known Yuri for years, those years that you didn't even bother to know what she had looked like." The argument had went on and on that night and it had escalated into a fight. Both of them had lost their temper and it ended up badly. Devlin ended up with a black eye, a cut lip and a lot of bruises and beatings. He wasn't thrown out of the house. He was actually forbidden to see Yuri ever again and was kept a close watch so he would not leave the house without his parents knowing where he would go and what he was doing. |

Yuri was standing in the small family house as her father shouted at her because of her relationship with her older love Devlin. "Why can't you just be happy for me?!" Yuri shouted at her father as she argued back, this was a subject that Yuri would not back down on, she loved Devlin and that was that. "Why can't you see how he is taking advantage of you!" Her father shouted at her. Yuri was standing with her arms crossed and feeling tears in her eyes. "You don't even know him. Mother likes him but you won't even give him a chance!" Yuri was shouting angrily as tears slid down her cheeks. "You don't care about me or my happiness!" She shouted even louder between her sobs and tears as she turned, her mother trying to calm the young girl down while her father continued to shout but Yuri did not listen she just left the room, running to her bedroom and slamming her door, moving her old wooden chest in front of it so no one could enter. Lying on her bed Yuri burried her face in her pillow, her thoughts of Devlin, the man she loved and wanted to be with, but her father not able to see how happy he made her, he wouldn't even meet the man. Gripping her pillow she hid her face, feeling the pillow getting wet from her tears, Yuri hated fighting with anyone, especially people she loved. |

Devlin left the house early that morning to go where he and Yuri would usually meet. He took a hooded cloak with him, knowing that there was someone sent to watch over him. He was earlier than usual because of that scout. He would circle around town for a while, looking around and loitering. He would pretend to go through a few shops and stores but he was really trying to lose the men that has been following him, pretending to go through stores and shops as well. The moment opportunity struck, he slipped out back a store and into an alley then turned the corner. He left his cloak there and sprinted out of sight towards their usual meeting place, under a tree in a simple garden. The scouts would merely find his cloak and he would be gone. He sat by the tree and waited, hoping to see her again. He wished that her parents had not forbidden her as well. It seems as both families had issues with their relationship. He needed her, especially during this time. He looked up the leaves, his left eye half closed from last night's fight. He looked a bit of a mess. Bruises and punch marks all over his body. He was lucky that he had not broken a bone. |

Yuri awoke in the morning, her father was off to work, a simple tailor who ran a store in the town so luckily only her mother was home. Pushing the wooden chest that was infront of her door away she stepped out of her room for the first time since the fight the previous night. Walking down the stairs dressed in her light blue and white dress Yuri snuck to the back door and put on her boots as she opened the door and heard her mother say. "You're father will not like this" To which Yuri simply replied. "Then do not tell him" She said, running out the door and to go meet her love. Finally arriving at their meeting place she saw Devlin. "Dev!" She ran towards him but as she got closer she noticed his bruised face and sore eye as she stopped and her face turned to worry. "Devlin..." She breathed and threw her arms around him, hugging him before looking up at him, her soft and gentle hands moved up at ran softly over his cheek and face. "I am sorry" She whispered, feeling like this was all her fault. |

He was feeling miserable. Miserable that all of this had happened. He thought that they would have approved. He and Yuri had known each other for years already and it really surprised him that they were suddenly told that their relationship was not allowed. It was a shot to his heart and he felt it skewer his heart. He sighed and closed his eyes, wishing that Yuri was here. He perked up when he had heard her voice and stood up to meet her. She had come after all and it made him feel a little better that she did. All his worry seemed to lessen by a huge margin as she had approached. She noticed his marks from last night and threw herself in her arms. He embraced her tightly and kissed her hair. "It's not your fault, Yuri. It's not your fault at all. I just got in a little fight with my father last night. Nothing to worry about," He bit his lip and hesitated but gave in to tell her. "They forbade me fro seeing you. They sent watchmen to keep track of me whenever I leave the house. I managed to lose them this time but I don't know about the next time." |

Yuri embraced her love as he did the same and explained his situation, looks like she wasn't the only one whose parents disapproved of the relationship. "Dev... my father is the same, he says you are just taking advantage of me" Yuri muttered as she burried her face against him softly. "He has forbidden me to see you ever again" Yuri told him with saddened look. The couple hugged and all that ran through Yuri's mind was what happens if their parents lock them up or go to some extremes to keep them apart. "I can not live without you my love" The young girl admitted as she looked into his eyes, looking at his sore eyes and sadly looking to him. "I don't want you to go back there and get beaten again" She admitted, her face showing sadness and concern for this man she loved so much, it was a pure love that Yuri never wanted to end. "I love you" She whispered to him softly and put her arms around him, never wanting to part. |

"And I as well. I can't bear to stray from you, dearest," Devlin looked deep into her eyes, his own filled with despair and pain that they would be forced to be apart. "I don't have a choice. If I don't come back, they'll find out that I've gone to see you. I'm sure they know it but they just want more reason to keep us apart," Devlin felt her going closer to him. He embraced her tightly and nuzzled on her soft and fragrant hair. "I love you too," Devlin whispered in her ear as he held her close and closed his eyes. He never wanted to part from her. He couldn't imagine living on without her. His life would end the moment that she would disappear. He opened his eyes slowly and saw from afar the same people that were following him. Thankfully, they have not seen them yet, mainly because they won't recognize him. He had worn that cloak so they wouldn't know what he was wearing for that day. But he can't take any chances. He held her hand tightly and slowly walked and pulled her away from that place, hoping to blend in well with the crowd and disappear within the current of people. "Just keep walking and don't look around much, Yuri, they're on to us," He told her as he took her into a small store hoping to pass themselves as simple folk on a morning chore. |

Yuri looked at him sadness and worry filling her soft eyes as she listened, he was right that he had to go back but Yuri didn't want him to, she wanted him to herself and wanted him to be safe. Feeling him taking her hand she wondered why but he soon explained. Walking with him hand in hand and trying to blend in Yuri squeezed his hand softly and interlocked her fingers with his. "Devlin" She whispered as she moved closer to him and pretended to be browsing. "We can not go on living like this... you being under constant watch and no one letting us be? We have to find a way to convince our parents we are meant to be together" Yuri told him, she did not want to hide her love for him or constantly be running, she wanted things to be like they were when they first met, when Devlin would walk her home from market and they could happily move around the city together, without worry of anyone seeing them; it was their parents that had ruined that. |

"I know my father, Yuri. He won't just let us be. Once he decides something, he won't change his mind about it. He will still to his word and he will do everything to keep me away from you. I don't know why he won't just let us be. But whatever reason that is, I don't like it one bit. I have a bad feeling about it," Devlin embraced her tightly. They had entered an abandoned store and it would suffice as a hiding place for now. He prayed that they would not be found here. He placed a soft kiss on her lips. "What do you suggest we do, my love?" Devlin asked her as he stroked her hair. He didn't want this. He didn't want to keep on running. He just wanted to be with her at peace. Why can't they just be together like they have been these years? Why now of all times were they told to stop seeing each other? "Do you think your parents were telling the truth why they forbade you to see me?" |

Yuri smiled as he led her into a small abandoned shop and kissed her. It was only a soft and short kiss but it was another kiss all the same. Sitting to the floor she gently tugged him to sit beside her, he asked what she suggested and Yuri had no ideas at all. His next question came as quite a shock. "You mean that you are using me?" Yuri asked to clarify the question. Looking into his soft eyes she answered truthfully. "I have wondered what someone as wonderful as you could want with a silly little girl like me" Yuri admitted. "But I think if you were using me you would not have stayed in this relationship all these years and there are much more prettier, richer and generally better women out there so obviously you are not using me, just crazy" Yuri giggled as she teased him and lightly kissed his cheek. |

"Yuri, that's the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard," Devlin told her, angry at the things they were being told. "I would never use you. And you're are right. If I were after riches and fame and glory, I would have gone for other women. But you know me, Yuri, my love. You know that I would never have a need for those things. I only need you in my life." "My father told me that we are forbidden to be together because of the difference in our ages," Devlin told her as he looked outside and saw the men after them. He pulled her into a safer spot and embraced her tightly. "Don't you think that it's a bit exaggerated how they are trying to keep us apart? I think that they are hiding something from us. This is preposterous. Sending a bunch of scouts, being up your own son half to death..." He stopped as he said those words. He knew that Yuri would worry so much about him. His tongue had slipped and he shouldn't have said about how badly he had been beat up. |

Yuri smiled as he held her, telling her how much he only needed her, she was his life. About to respond when Devlin spotted the guards and pulled Yuri to a much more safer hiding place. Staying close her hand softly on his chest Yuri agreed with what he was saying, it was ridiculous to go to these extremes for a couple of kids in love. It was, however, the last thing he said that struck her the most. "Half to death?!" She exclaimed in a hushed yet still angry voice. "Dev..." Yuri started as she felt tears in her eyes, there was only one way that Yuri could see that she would be able to protect Devlin and keep him safe and it was the one thing she never wanted to do. "Devlin... I can not live without you but I would rather have you alive then dead... there is only one way to do that..." Yuri said as she felt the cold tears down her cheeks and looked sadly at Dev. "I will stay away from you..." She told him, like a promise as she rose to her feet. "That way no one will be mad" She said sadly as she turned from him. |

"No! Yuri...please," Devlin pleaded to her as silently as he could. He could already feel the tears welling up in his eyes. "Anything but that, Yuri. I'd die if I would lose you. I don't want you to go far away from me. I don't want you to stay away from me. It would hurt more than the beatings I would get if that would happen." Devlin had already let loose of the tears as they streamed down his cheek. He embraced her tightly, not wanting to let go for the fear that she would start running from him and leave him be. "I love you," He whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek. He did not want to part from her...ever. He did not want this. All he wanted was to be together with her. Why can't they be together in peace? Why does fate keep trying to separate them with reasons that are preposterous? |

Yuri took a deep breath as she looked at Devlin, tears in her eyes as she looked at him. He embraced her, telling her he'd die without her and whispering words of love in her ear; seeing the grown man cry for her just showed that he was serious and loved her, Yuri could not leave him. "I love you too" She whispered back. Their moment was interupted by a men storming into the room, her father was one of them. Yuri felt her father grabbing her by the waist and pulling her away from Devlin as other men held Devlin back. Yuri was kicking and screaming, trying to get away as she stared at her love. Yuri's father shouted. "You are not going to ruin her destiny" Her father said as he dragged her away. Yuri was a witch, but neither of her parents were magical just simple humans so when people found out about her magical powers then it was started to be seen that Yuri was different and not everyone agreed with the girl's abilities. The whole town had come to an agreement about the girl and this was something that had not been shared with either Yuri or Devlin. Once home Yuri was locked in her room. "You'll stay there till your time comes" Her father hissed at her, locking her in the room before arguing with Yuri's mother. The young girl sobbed as she fell on the bed and hugged the pillow, something was wrong. |

"Yuri!" Devlin called out and tried to reach out to her but a lot of men were holding him back. "Get out of my way!" Devlin kicked down and punched down several of the men and tried to go after them. Someone had grabbed his leg and tripped him, causing him to fall down face first onto the floor. The next series of kicks and punches had stopped Devlin, almost permanently. He lay on the old floor, more bruised and more bloodied than before. He had to drag himself home and when he had arrive, only another beating had awaited him. The two of them did not know about Yuri's prowess. They were keeping Devlin away for the town had wanted to offer Yuri to a goddess as an oracle. Once she had been cleansed of impurities, mainly cutting her ties to the world, they thought that it would be the right time. |
