His Soul

Diana's POV

It's been two months since that day Harry and I confessed our love for each other. We've come so far from being the two awkward people around each other.
It's weird, knowing that you are moving into a home with your boyfriend who isn't the biggest goody goody in town. But I love him regardless.

"I can't believe we are moving in today", I giggle, flinging my arms around Harry's neck. He laughed as he looked down at me, resting his hands on my waist.
"I know, it's pretty exciting", he pressed his lips to my forehead. "It's the first big step. But we have to start progressing with the other ones"
"What do you mean?", I frown, slightly confused.
"I... I wanted to wait and tell you. But I know that now you know something is up, that you won't stop asking about it until you know", he said. "Diana I'm part of a... group", he spoke.
"Like a gang?", I asked, tilting my head to the side.
"Yeah yeah... like a gang", he spoke gently, "I joined when I was young and stupid and signed up for some pretty stupid things"
"Like what?", I asked innocently.
"Don't hate me. I didn't know this was going to happen. I thought we were just supposed to choose a girl and then go on ahead. I didn't think I would actually fall in love with you"
"Harry. You're scaring me", I frown, nervous about what this was all about. "What are you talking about?"
"In the gang, there are a certain number of... rules you must go by. If you don't they-", he stopped short, looking anywhere else but my face.
"They what?", I asked, resting one of my hands on his shoulder.
"Th-They kill you", he said.
"Oh my", I gasp, "W-Well what are the rules?"
"The first rule is to find a girl you are to spend the rest of your life with"
I nodded my head. I knew that part.
"Rule two is too-", he stopped again, rubbing his hands over his face nervously. "Don't hate me. It's not my rules"
"What's the second rule Harry?"
"To- to have children before the six month mark", he spits out quickly.
My hand drops.
I'm in complete and utter shock.
He's supposed to get me pregnant?
"What?", I ask, not sure if I was hearing right.
"I'm sorry Diana. I-I shouldn't have brought you into this. I should never have signed up for any of this. I-I just didn't want to die", he said.
"Harry it's okay. I-I don't want you to die either. I- I will do it. But you have to promise to stop keeping things from me", I say without thinking. Harry looks down to me in shock.
"Y-You'll do it?", he whispers.
I nodded, "it's not like I'm going to see anyone who I used too. Not my parents. Not my sister. Not my friends", I say gently. "I actually can't believe I said yes, but I don't want you to get killed", I say again.
Harry quickly pulled me into a warm and tight hug. "I love you so much Diana", he spoke into my hair.
I chuckled, "I know you do. I love you too"
I just can't believe I actually said yes.

It's going to be hard and I'm probably going to want to dig my grave and die in it, but It's amazing what people do for the people they love.



And I love Harry.
So much.
