'Til Death Do Us Part

This is the first (and probably the last) time I've held this kind of a contest. Here it goes.

**I want a story about two people's love for one another.**

But, for those of you who know me, I'm not a mushy "rose petal-kiss and make passionate love" kind of person. I want an action story in which the lives of the two lovers are in danger.

TIPS TO HELP YOU WIN:
♥Have the man get seriously injured/almost die/die. Tragic love is best.
♥Set the story in the past. I like historical romance.
♥The more action, the better!
♥Please, no gay/lesbian love stories. Not that I have anything against them, but that's not what I'm looking for this time around.
♥Check your grammar and spelling before you enter. If either (or both) is terrible, I will simply stop reading, no matter how good the story.
♥Please choose readable font colors/backgrounds. My eyes thank you.

I may add more points as the contest goes on. Have fun and good luck!

  I might have one but the relationship is not really experianced through the viewer. Audric the evil that he is later on in the story will fall in love. I'm not sure if my story will fit. But I'll enter and see what happens.
