I looked over at the room. My blue eyes darted through the screens. A Helicopter's blades broke the silence. Looking out the window to my left, I watched the sniper go up. 

I grabbed my com and tuned in. "Who gave you permission to lift?" I barked into the com. 

"Your majesty, the General did." My pilot's words were strained. "Sights on an uprising." 

"How big?" 

"I have no idea. Heading out to check." 

"Okay." I turned of the com and opened my phone. I dialed Andrew's number and he picked up instantly. 

"My queen." 

"Weapons room. NOW!" I ordered. 

"Yes." Then he hung up. I grabbed a knife and twirled it in my fingers. I smirked and threw it behind me. 

"WOAH!" A voice sounded and I looked back to see a shaken Chris. 

"Oh, I am so sorry baby!" I ran over to him. He looked at me with wide eyes. The knife stuck out of the wooden door he had just opened. 

"It's okay." He tried to smile. 

I tilted his face to look at me. "What?" 

He bit his lip and his hands roamed my waist. "I-I-" 

"Yes?" I looked at him funny. 

"Teach me." He looked down at me. 

"What?" 

"Teach me." His voice was firm. "I want to learn."

I shook my head. "No. I can't." I dropped my head into his chest. "I can't loose you." 

"You won't." He smiled, "but I will fight beside my queen. Beside my wife." He looked down at me. 

I tore from him in surprise. "Wife?" 

He knelt slowly. "I was going to do this some where more romantic, but you drug it out of me didn't you." I looked down at him as he held my hand. His left hand dug around in his jacket until he pulled out a ring box. I gasped and covered my mouth with my hands. "Devine, I know it has not been very long, and I know we both have lost the ones we used to love. I can't stop thinking that this is right. I want you as my wife. I want to call you mine. The kids love you and you are trying so hard to make their lives easy." He smiled up at me. "Please, marry me my queen. Become my wife." 

"Yes!" I cried. He stood and pressed a kiss on my lips. "Oh I love you!" I sobbed. He held me tightly and gently placed the giant diamond on my finger. It was a teardrop shape and extremely heavy. At least 26 small diamonds surrounded the large one, and the band sparkled and shown with Sapphires and Topaz.

I smiled through the tears and pressed kisses all over his face. "I love you so much." I sighed touching his face gently. "You are too good to me." 

"You are my girl." He kissed me. "I want to spoil you." 

"I love you." I whispered. 

"I know." 

He captured my lips in a tender embrace, just as the door to the room slammed against the wall.

 "Oh, I am so sorry." Andrew's voice sounded. 

I broke away from Chris and looked at the man. "It's okay. Enter." I flicked my pale fingers at him. 

He stood from his kneeling position. 

"Why did you send out the Snipers?" I asked, the seductive tone I was known for creeping into my voice. I circled him, as Chris watched me. His large frame filled out his black Tee shirt beautifully, and his sweatpants looked glorious. 

"I have news on the target." Andrew ducked his head. I grasped his chin in my fingers. 

"You are supposed to tell me, and I make the calls." I dug my long fingernails into his skin. He gasped but took the punishment with honor. 

"I am sorry, my Queen, I will not forget." He dropped back down to his knees. "Forgive me." 

I looked down at him. Reaching my hand out towards him, I smirked. He kissed my ring gently. "You are pardoned. Now go. Lead an attack. Summon me when it is time for the Queen to arrive." 

"I will." He bowed and walked out of the room, wiping the blood from his cheeks. 

I turned to Chris and he grabbed my arm. "Teach me." He commanded. 

I looked up at him and he smirked. I reached for my hand gun and placed it in his hands. I turned him to the dummy. "Shoot."
