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

"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

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

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

"Get off me, you motherfucker!" I push him off and wipe the blood on my cheek that doesn't seem to stop. The wound should've healed by now. My body tenses, and Alec takes my face in his hands with a very strong grip. I wince as his fingers graze the cut. "Hmm. These are spelled arrows. The wound won't heal properly yet. It will take much time to heal. probably days." He says very confidently that doubt fills my mind. "How do you know that?" I ask him, my brows furrowed. "I just do." He looks around and then takes my hand, " Come on, we have to go." I drop his hand and back up. "I am not going anywhere with you. Nope. Stay back." "I am trying to save you. Those rebels are here to hurt you, and right now it is my duty to protect you. You will be going whether you like it or not." He says and I look around in search of Drew or my family but there is no sign of him. There is chaos everywhere I turn, people screaming and running. "Where is my family? Drew?" I ask him. "They left. Th

"I can't go. I am not going down. Nope." I collapse on the chair and shake my head. Alex who is dressed in a Purple and Silver gown which is very revealing and looks so tight but she moves effortlessly. She stops applying the lipstick for the millionth time and comes towards me. "You are. Stop being nervous. You can do this." She says and gestures Mia to come forward. Mia picks up her very heavy looking Green gown with embroidery. She stands up and sets my loose curled strand of hair. "I'd tell you to stay here but you don't have any other choice. Sorry, you gotta do this." She says and nods to Alex. They both pull me up from the chair and drag me to the door, ignoring my grunts and sighs. "You can do this. Trust me, you can. Besides, it will be a shame if this gorgeous dress went to waste." Alex whispers and the doors open. I hear multiple voices. "God, it's like the whole country got jammed in a tiny room. This is like my worst nightmare. I can't possibly go in there. Not happ

Shawn's p.o.v. : Me and Claire take our seats . I am still not over by the performance we just gave . Maybe, Me and the guys can convince Claire to record one or two songs with us that could go in her debut album. We could also gain many new fans. Not that we need it, our fans are really very great anyway. I order myself a glass of whiskey, straight and order a glass of margarita for Claire. I know she loves them. I am already at the bar ,when I realise it's time for the most audience favourite event in this whole festival. Any two people from the attendees of the festival are picked randomly and are forced to sing a song together without any practice . The song is to be choosed from either the small bucket present there or you can sing it from your own heart. It would even be great, if the song is an original and if the fans attending the festival love it ,then it's a cherry on top. You know you have to record it and release it since it's basically being awaited by many people a

Claire's P.O.V:My makeup is almost done when a tune comes to my mind and I sing out a line that fits perfect with the melody . I get up from the chair placed in my living room abruptly ,ignoring the makeup artist's grunts against my action and pick up my journal to write it out . "I am sorry . I had an inspiration and you never know when it strikes. " I explain myself and get back to being pampered with makeup and stuff.Once I am done with my makeup and hairdo ,the bell rings as the makeup artist packs her stuff to leave. "One minute ,please. " I yell to the person ringing the bell and call for the makeup artist."I am sorry, what's your payment?" I ask her. "No need ,mam. Shawn sir has already paid me ." She says and smile."Call me claire. And I insist , please ." I try to reason ."I am sorry I can't do that ,claire. I am a big fan of yours and if you still want to pay me ,can I click a photo with you ?" She asks sheepishly. "Ofcourse, what's your name, sweetie?" I ask and

I am very excited about the festival , everyone and believe me when I say, every artist will be there and my band will be performing among some very few selected artists. Also, claire will be going with me as my date . Today, we will make it official and I will introduce her as my girlfriend to everyone . I bought her a ravishing dress which will fit her perfectly for the event . I have my breakfast and put some vodka in my coffee to help with the nerves.

After having lunch in a nearby café, I book myself a cab to get home and start getting myself ready. I reach quite late due to the traffic so my mission is to get ready in very less time for the double date. I wear a red A-line dress with puffy half sleeves and wear my red heels and have my red lipstick on. I leave my hair down and puff it up to style it and add volume. As soon as I am done, the bell rings and I know that it's shawn . Since ,I don't have a car yet so he will be picking me up and driving me places when he's free so that he appears as a 'doting boyfriend ' and we hit this fake dating thing in the ass and make it our bitch. I open my door and shawn's eyes widen for a second but then he kisses me on the cheek . I roll my eyes when he Winks at me , non surprisingly . I lock the apartment and shawn places his hand on my back and lead me to his car. Although, his hand is on the dress and not in contact with my skin ,I can feel the heat cooming off of it on my back and it is

Claire's P.O.V:After eating and getting our pictures clicked, Shawn drops me at my new apartment . He kisses me on my cheek and I ignore how his gaze lingers for a minute too long . I shut the door and take a short shower and sleep on my new bed . Today went great and i had lots of fun with Shawn. I wish things go great like this forever. Maybe ,we could go on a double date with Justin and Jayson . I think i need to be reminded that i am fake dating Shawn ,again and again because i keep forgetting about it and start thinking of it as real. It's all too complicated for me to keep track of it. I shake that thought and fall into dark abyss.*_*I wake up by my alarm going off . I take a shower and get dressed to go to studio and record some stuff. It will be my first time in a studio . I wonder what the process will be ? I also text Justin ,informing him if our double date which i have planned with shawn .

SHAWN'S P.O.V.:I am finally on my way to make claire mine. I know how she looks at Harry ,like the sun shines from his ass but I will be the one she will be looking at like that when we are seen in public and that alone makes me giddy. I make my way to her new apartment, a box of chocolate and a rose plant for her . I know her favorite flowers are Tulips so I also have them but the plant wasn't available so rose was the safest option.I ring the bell after parking my black rover in front of her door to be clicked by the paparazzi. I dressed extra nice even though I look hot everyday. Claire opens the door and her hair is messy and she has changed into some black leggings and a tank top showing her collarbone. She is not wearing any makeup but she is looking as beautiful as ever. I could look at her all day and never get tired of her. I have dated many girls in past ,had spent "nights" with some of them but I have only ever found two girls beautiful. One ,Rose ,we have some hi
