Fuck. "What do you mean?" I mutter in a very low voice. Also, because that's how high my voice can go right now. My hands start shaking and he looks at them. He gets up and I gulp as he comes towards me. He kneels down and I flinch. He removes the rope from my wrists and I groan. "Why did you do that?" I say and massage my wrists. It still burns and the wounds have turned red. "I know you are not gonna attack me. It would be foolish to attack me, because I can have you on the ground in just a second. So, you can try if you want to." He takes his seat and smirks when I don't react. "Now, back to your question. I am your father's real older brother. I doubt if he told you that, so I will take the matter into my own hands. Back when we were young, your age to be precise. We both knew your mother, Qetsiyah. She was like sunshine in the winters. Charming to a fault. Way too sweet and caring. I warned her, you know. But she didn't listen, she was very stubborn, like you. Both of us wer
I run out and the whole place looks like a maze. A labyrinth of sorts. I look around and see two men, dressed in black, exactly like the men that attacked the coronation. I hide behind the wall and then realise that I forgot to pick up the knife. Shit. I'm already way too far from the room and if I go back now, thee is a higher chance that I will get lost so I choose not to move from my place. I take a breath in and an idea forms in my head. I close my eyes and reopen them. I focus on the place where the men are standing and I can feel the energy rising and slowly the ground starts shaking. I see the light on the ceiling and using my powers, throw that on their head. They both look at each other and then look around to find the source of this problem. I make the light flicker in the hallway and they quickly turn towards the passageway. As soon as they are out of my way, I rush forward. I anticipate a few more men standing guard ahead but shockingly, the place is empty. I don't know if
"Hello, princess." His smug voice shocks me to my core. Alec's body lays over mine and his stupid smirk is already there, adorning his stupid face. With wide eyes, I say, "Alec? What are you doing here?" Curiosity hits me. Plus lots of shock. He pushes my sweaty hair strands aside and grins. He takes the crown and gets up. He offers me his hand but I push it aside and stand up on my own. "Alec. Hand me the crown." Tobias grins, as if knowing already that he has won. "Oh, this old thing?" Alec tosses the crown back into air and Tobias audibly gasps. "Alec...." I look at him, hoping he does the right thing. I don't see why he would hand the crown to me. I have already lost this game before it even started. He looks into my eyes and tosses it to dad. "Alec!" Tobias shouts as dad catches the crown. "Tobias...your anger is with me. Don't involve my daughter in this mess. We can talk this out calmly like adults." Dad says. "Jonathon.....hand me the crown." Tobias glares. "Brother
EPILOGUE:"Rose...." I mutter and she turns her head to me. She drops the dagger raking with black goo and it thuds with a sharp clink. Her feet touches the floor and her eyes turn back to normal."Drew..." She smiles and comes towards me and I grin, opening my arms for her to place her head on. I turn to my family and watch as they all kneel down on the floor grinning. A gasp is heard loudly and I quickly turn my head back to Ana. I see a red tear falling down her cheeks and all breath is stolen from me. I stagger back and fall down on my knees as the tip of the dagger comes out of her chest and she winces. Her whimpers are enough to show me hell and I scream as she falls on his knees and that's when it all goes black and my skin starts turning to stone just like everyone else in the room. *_*Ana's POV:I see a bright light and the whole place is white. "Drew?" I ask out loud.Where am I? Is this...heaven or hell? "You aren't dead." Someone speaks up and I jump, startled. "Who
BLUE MOONPROLOGUE" Wake up. You are gonna be late. " My aunt Sarah said, sitting on my bed and pulling at my blanket. "Rise and shine," she said, smiling brightly. "Time to get ready for the day!"Aunt Sarah has been my guardian since mom and dad died in an accident . She has been taking care of me since then and has always been there to give a helping hand and motivate me to get up and seize the day. She constantly encourages me to do my best and reminds me to never give up, no matter how hard life may seem. She is in her thirties and the coolest person in the world." Hmm. Just one more minute please. " I whined in my sleep." Come on. You are already fifteen minutes late and I have to drop you too before I go to my job, so hurry up." She says."I know, I know," I grumbled, reluctantly climbing out of bed. "But I just need one more minute."I get up and rub my eyes. " Can't I skip today?" I give her my best puppy face but she doesn't fall for it. That is what happens when you live
Next day, I woke up with a raging headache but somehow I managed to dress myself and head down for breakfast. I make my way to the dining table and aunt Sara pours me some juice and I drink it slowly. Halfway through breakfast, she asks me about my birthday plans and who to invite." So, how are we gonna celebrate it this time?"" Uhh. I cannot think right now with this stupid headache, besides, we have a lot of time left. Surely we will plan something."" It is just a week ahead ! We do not have much time left. I want it to be perfect for you. You are finally gonna turn 18! I want it to be your best birthday." She squeals, clearly more excited than me." Okay fine. But can we discuss it later? I do not have energy right now. My brain is about to burst." I groan, dropping my head on the table." Do you need aspirin or something?"" I am fine. Maybe it is because of hunger."" I don't understand why you stress a lot. Everything is going fine. Are you taking your medications? Are the nig
" Can I go to the gala?" I asked." No." She doesn't even think about it , just deadpans on her rejection." Please. Jer is gonna be there all the time. The whole family will be there and I will be extra careful. Please, it has been ages since I went to their place. I won't drink." I say, and she gives me a pointed look."Oh please, I was your age once. Don't say something you won't do.""Please Aunt Sara" I said one more time." Okay, fine. But call me if there is anything wrong."'OK, thanks. I love you." I kissed her cheek and gave her a tight hug and went to the door." Also, I am going to the mall with Jer for shopping. Thank you for giving me permission. I love you. Bye bye." I say and run upstairs before she could object.I quickly got ready for the mall and waited for Jer.Jer texts me to come out, so I leave after telling my aunt and getting into his car. It takes 30 minutes to reach the mall and we get out of the car. Jer takes me to his store first, where he shops. I swear
Next morning, I wake up feeling like there is a thing going on my head , like hammers hitting my head constantly as if my head is a nail. Somehow, I managed to drag myself up and get ready for school. I go downstairs and see the note aunt Sara had left on the kitchen countertop.'Going to shop for groceries. Be right back. Love you.'Alright then. I make some pancakes for me and a cup of coffee and take it to the living room. I pulled the curtains off and I immediately regretted it. My headache seems to worsen at the sight of light. I closed it and sat down on the couch. I devour my meal and texted Jerah to come pick me up. I waited for Andrew and when his car came , I get inside and turned on the air conditioner." Hey, how are you?" Jer asked."Hi. Not so good right now. I have a raging pain in my head and the hotness today doesn't help it." I grumble." It is not that hot. " He checked my temperature. " You are sweating. Are you sure you would be able to come to the charity?" He as
