82. Will you?
Author's POV

Oliver and Arthur waited till she woke up again. They both looked at her when she yawned and rubbed her face.

Arabella looked at them with confused face and looked around.
"What's happening?"

"You don't remember?"
Oliver frowned.

She was still confused.
"Everything is foggy!"

"What is the last thing you remember?"
Arthur fixed her hair gently.

She sighed as she felt the tingling sensation all over her body.
"I was in the forest, Egon was standing behind me and he snapped his fingers after that nothing is clear..."
She grabbed her head.

"It's okay, you don't have to stress yourself... Come here!"
Oliver pulled her in a hug and she rested on his chest.

"I lost against him, how do we defeat him?"
She sounded worried.

"Dove, you don't have to worry about that... We'll figure out..."
Arthur kissed her head.
"Don't worry... You are strong!"

"Why am I still alive if I lost against him?"
She questioned, breaking the hug.
"He should have kill me."

They both looked at each other and decided not to transfer any doubt which they had in their minds.
"He tried to."
Oliver replied, while fixing her shirt.
"He buried you alive..."

She raised her eyebrows and nodded.
"It's my turn to return the favour now... I am not going to spare him..."

"We will plan for this... Relax!"
Arthur assured.

They had a conversation and she told them about everything which she saw.

"Looks like your family is going to take time to come for us."
She looked at the ocean and the sky.

"They must be on the way."
Oliver looked up too.
"What do we do now?"

"I am hungry!"
She huffed while leaning down on her elbows.

Their eyes widened recalling how she reacted sometimes back when she was hungry.

"I'll get something for you."
Arthur got up.

She grabbed his wrist.
"Wait! Let's have a competition... Whoever catches bigger fish will win and losers have to cook."

They looked at her amused when she smiled.
"Not a bad idea... It will be fun!"
Oliver got up excitedly and lifted her on her feet like she weighs nothing making her chuckle.

"This is my bow, make your own."
She mocked them playfully while grabbing hers.

Knights could see that she is in good mood after a good nap. They made their own bows and stood by the rock.

All three of them aimed and shot the bows.
"Mine is bigger."
Arthur grinned and grabbed his fish.

Arabella and Oliver looked at each end scowled at him.
"It's easy to catch big fish."
Oliver mocked.

"I agree!"
Arabella nodded with Oliver.

Arthur grabbed his fish and scoffed at them.
"Losers always gives reasons... Don't forget why I am the chief!"

"Isn't he too arrogant?"
Arabella whispered to Oliver.

"Exactly! That's what I tell to everyone and no one believes me."
Oliver agreed.
"Anyways, let's catch more fish because I am damn hungry."

"Losers! Come and cook for your master."
Arthur mocked them with evil grin.

They huffed and followed his order. Arthur sat down and watched them with grin as they worked for him. He saw how she was helping him and decided to be naughty.
"Dove, come here!"
He ordered.

"Seriously?"
Oliver scolded him.
"She is helping me here... Don't influence her."

"I am the winner, you have to follow my orders."
Arthur grinned.

Arabella dropped her job and went to him, he pulled her on his lap and Oliver gave her 'You betrayed me' look.

"Order him to hurry up."
Arthur teased Oliver.

"Hurry up!"
Arabella ordered Oliver with naughty smile.

Oliver nodded mockingly.
"You traitors! Wait and watch for my turn."

They both laughed at him and teased him more.

"Let's make a castle!"
Arthur suggested and her smile widened.

"Let's go!"
She was excited.

Oliver watched them playing in the sand and smiled. Everything was chaotic but still things were taking shapes.
He also went to them while fish were cooking.

"What are you doing here, go back!"
Arthur dismissed him.

Oliver kicked Arthur in the sand and Arabella burst out laughing. She sat on the butt and laughed her heart out while they started playing WWE in the sand.

She let them scratch eachothers faces and pull hair and focused on the castle making.
"It's done!"
She announced happily but then they fell on the castle and broke it.

Everything went silent and they gulped.
"Sorry!"

She looked at them madly and got up with the stick which they used as a bow sometimes back.
"You two!"

They quickly got up and started running around when she chased them madly.

"Fish will burn!"
Arthur caught her from behind and snatched the stick from her hands.

"You broke my castle."
She complained while slapping his arm.

"We'll make bigger one after having food."
He carried her towards the food like a toddler and sat down.

Oliver chuckled and gave them their fish. Three of them watched sunset while eating and life never felt so peaceful before, it was like a mini vacation for them.

"I want to live life like this..."
She mumbled admiring the red and yellow sky.
"No killing, no fighting, without gunshots and blood... Just me and the peace... Is it possible?"

Arthur smiled bitterly.
"It's not possible for us but I promise that I will try my best to give you that life... You will have everything you want."

"You will definitely get that life."
Oliver promised.
"You no longer have to live the life which is forced on you..."

She smiled and laid down on the sand.
"Thank you but I doubt it's anywhere closer... We are surrounded by dangers..."

"We will tackle everything if you are by our side."
Arthur laid back beside her and Oliver did the same.

"Just stay with us!"
Oliver agreed.

"Really! I thought you didn't want to share anything..."
She teased them.

"We are not sharing you... We are taking care of you together..."
Arthur replied and she smiled.

"Will you let us take care of you, kitten?"
Oliver looked at her lovingly.

"Yes!"
She nodded as her eyes filled with happiness.

He looked into her eyes before leaning towards her and captured her lips. She was lost in his allure when she felt another pair of lips on her neck and her whole body filled with goosebumps.
Their hands wrapped around her body and her heart picked the race.
