Wild birds flew around the woods, their loud cry added more sentiment to the atmosphere. The soil was moist and each leaves on trees began to winter down, their dry leaves fell slowly as the time went by. Deep inside the soil, Adolphus laid still, his eyes were tightly shut and his fingers moved slowly in a way that each bone might crack if aggressively moved.A moth crawled on his leg, Adolphus felt the ticklish feeling but stayed mute not moving a part of his leg. Slowly, the moth crawled to his stomach and began to head to his face. At once, Adolphus' eyes opened and he could see clearly in the dark soil. His throat was dry and he felt a string tied around his feet. With raised head, he looked down and realized that a rope was tied around his leg. He could feel his body begin to burn, sweat trickled down his face but surprisingly, he felt no pain and the incident that happened before he fell asleep crept into his mind. The soldiers thought he was dead not knowing his immortality
Lilia stood at the kitchen counter, a plate in her hand and a clean towel at the other. Carefully, she cleaned each plate one after the other to avoid any stain. Hebana stood at a point and observed each maids as they carried on with their duties. Her gaze got fixed on Lilia who stood quietly to herself, her eyes fixed on the plates she arranged. With an evil thought, Henana smiled and walked towards her, as she got towards Lilia who held a plate in her hand, Hebana looked at the plate and realized that it's one of the queen's special plates. Without wasting time, she hit Lilia's hand and the plate dropped to the floor and shattered into pieces. The noise attracted the maids present, they turned to Lilia and began to whisper to themselves.Lilia stared at the broken plates with stunned eyes, she turned to her side and saw Hebana staring at her with an evil smirk, at once, she knew that she was the once behind this and Lilia's eyes hardened in anger. "You have guts to break the Quee
Queen Suna paced back and forth, her sharp eyes fixed in space as she rampaged through her undecided mind. Lilia is becoming a thorn in her flesh and she has to get rid of her as soon as possible. It was a relief that she hasn't developed her powers, Suna knows that when Lilia does, getting to her will be very dangerous so she has to attack now that she doesn't have her witch's powers yet. Unfortunately for her, her daughter Sarah is so useless and does not possess any witch powers, she knew that on the day of her birth. But Lilia knew that her niece would possess witch powers. As Suna paced around, she remembered a time her mother called her and her twin Mena. It was prophesied in the witches coven that one of them will produce daughters and one will be powerless. And for Sarah to be that child, she knew that Lilia powers will come to play one day and the thought of that infuriated her. Suna gnashed her teeth in anger, she must let Lilia die there in the coffin. The soldiers report
Lilia opened her eyes to the sound of approaching footsteps, she could hear whispering but she couldn't fathom their words and she grew curious to know what they were talking about. She woke up hours ago to total darkness, with the strength left in her, she kicked and screamed but all fate was lost, she is locked up in here until someone comes to save her. Exhausted, she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. She is a witch and should be able to cast some powerful spells but she knows none or anything relating to a witch. Her mother's words about her real identity ran in her head, her transformation baffled her even till this day, all these while in her life, she never knew that she is a werewolf, the same being she never believed existed, the same being she go deep in the cave and was terrified to look at. What will Adolphus think of her now that she is also part of him, she could see the sad look in his eyes when the truth about her being a witch was revealed, the pain his mother cau
Lilia walked out of the bathroom, she smelled nice and her washed hair was packed at the back with a rubber. She wore the simple and worn out gown Natacha gave her and honestly, she felt comfortable in it.She found Natacha waiting patiently for her, she sat on a sofa with a book in her hand. "You can leave now, once it is sunset, go into the woods and I shall meet you there, I know that you have burning questions that your heart needs to clear off" Natacha said in a stiff tone, her gaze fixed on the book she was reading. "Thank you" Lilia muttered and walked out the door. At the sound of the closed door, Natacha looked up and closed the book in her hand. Her brunette roommate, Genevieve with a pointed nose and black eyes, walked into the hut minutes later, "What was she doing in our home?" She inquired at Natacha who gave her a reluctant look."The queen requested that I have her washed and dressed" She briefly answered, got up and walked towards the bed leaving Genevieve looking a
Lilia strolled down the royal garden as she cut the outgrown grass, her mind filled with Natacha words. Throughout the night, she couldn't sleep, the dungeon floor became too stiff for her to close her eyes thereby making a feeling of insomnia dawn on her. Her aunt, Queen Suna is a heartless witch and she is nothing like her mother. She wondered how many lives the queen must have claimed and how many she is planning on executing including hers so she must act fast, get accustomed to her powers and finally get revenge for the death of all the pains, tears and agony she has passed through.Lilia continued with the grass cutting, she tried not to get injured by the sharp cutter, she isn't used to this tedious work but ever since her life changed, she got used to a lot of things. With thoughts whirling in her mind, Lilia noticed the presence of someone behind her. It was broad daylight so there was nothing to be scared about. She pretended like she wasn't aware of the stranger's presence
The loud cry of the soldiers was heard along with the villagers who stood apart and watched the princess dragged down the Stony path like a slave, chains tied around her hands and legs.Lilia breathed difficulty, her lungs were burning and the intense heat of the sun made matters worse for her. She screamed and begged, hot tears rolled down her eyes but the soldiers were merciless. Anytime she felt weak and fell to the ground, they beat her up with strong sticks in their hands or poured her with dirty water which they collected from some villagers' stalls. The whole town watched her brutally punished and treated inhumanely, bruises appeared on Lilia's skina ns more blood oozed out from her mouth, nose, legs and hands. The soldiers shouted at any passerby on their way. They dragged Lilia down into the market place and people who came to visit from neighbouring kingdoms watched the princess with pity in their hands, children who stood apart with their mothers cried out in tears, their
Lilia breathed deeply, her eyes slowly opened as the coldness of the dungeon overshadowed her. With pain all over her body, she coughed out loud and spat out blood at once, her body, weak and vulnerable. She thought she was going to die but finding herself back to the dungeon broke her completely down. Why can't fat just let her leave this cruel word and join her father in the after world, while she must continue to suffer, it's been years and she can't just take it all in anymore. She coughed again and spat out more blood, her face covered in dried blood that trickled down her forehead, nose and mouth. Soon, she heard footsteps approaching, the thought of the soldiers coming back for her made her skin crawl, her body was immediately filled with goosebumps. She tried to move her body but all to no avail, her whole strength was gone and whosoever that is coming should end it all for her, she is ready to move on and not suffer in anguish anymore. She heard the door of her dungeon unl
