What Have I Done?

"You will not defy me, Kierra!" A woman with strange white hair yelled at me and I shivered, nevertheless, I still felt Stony somewhere in my heart. She was dressed in a cream-gold regalia, with a jade hairpin holding her hair up.

 "I will do what I want, mother. It's not fair on them all." I responded to her. 

 "What do you know, child? Don't meddle in this." Her tone became quite softer. 

"Mother, they are good people, I promise, and they need me. I can't stand the sight of those innocent people being slaughtered because of me."

"They deserve it!" She yelled again angrily and her eyes glowed like flames of fire, so brightly. She exuded so much energy that each time she raised her voice to yell at me, I would feel almost blown away. Compared to her, I was very little in terms of abilities and aura. 

"Lady Kierra, please..." I heard a different voice pleased so gently and turning to the direction where it came from, I saw that it was Madison.

"Stay out of it, Maddie." I grunted. 

"You step out of this throne room and i will make sure to reject you as my child." The woman threatened so harshly.

 "Really? That's how you want it? I will leave, yes I will do just that and never return here! You are cruel." I snapped back angrily and got up from my knees. I almost lost my balance when I stood, as if I had been on my knees for too long.

Madison was quick to hold me back the arm as I was about to fall. "Easy, Lady." She cooed.

 "I am fine, let go." I said to her and she did, reluctantly.

I turned around, preparing to walk out of the throne room.

 "You will throw your own mother in a pool of agony because of strangers?" I heard pain speaking through the woman. I felt a hold in my heart but my willpower was stronger than whatever emotions were going through me as at then.

I took a few steps forward slowly,not responding to her or even sparing her a glance.

 "Kierra!!!" A loud, deafening yell swept across the room and I got swept off my feet also, by that strange and strong energy. 

I was supposed to land in the floor but my landing was a bit smoother, I had fallen on a figure.

 I groaned in pain, I had sustained scratches in some parts too because the chandelier in the room had fallen and broken into pieces. Then the little broken pieces flew around, cutting and sticking to the flesh.

The pain was excruciating to some extent but I summoned up strength to stand up. A grunting sound now became clear to me and I tried to stand up. Opening my eyes fully, I realized that I had actually fallen on a human. 

My heart skipped a beat as I looked closer to see that it was a lady. Not just a lady...it was...Karima! She looked quite younger though. How was she there?

 "Karima!" I shouted because she was lying on numerous broken chandeliers. I tried helping her up, then I saw that her back was all bloody, her clothes messed up thealready too.

The thought that she was trying to protect me instilled fear and anger in me at the same time. I turned around swiftly and glared dreadfully at the woman. "Mother!" I raised my voice and she smirked.

 "That is what will happen to every other person, the moment you defy me." She asserted.

Her words riled me up so much. Right behind me was Maddie trying to help Karima stand up. I turned around to look at them and that enraged me the more. Amidst my anger, I did not fail to realize the resemblance between them both. They were almost identical. Were they sisters??

That was not even the heat of the moment. "Mother!!! How could you do this??" I was indeed riled. 

 "You will obey my orders, I gave birth to you Kierra and if you insist on defying me, you can bid your goodbyes to that good-for-nothing lover and those people." 

I felt a spin in my head the moment she said that and my anger reached its peak. "The same way you killed my father?" I tried hard to keep my calm, wanting to just puncture her sore spot so she could feel how I felt. 

"Lad!!!" She yelled, I could see that she was at the point of not holding back any longer. Maybe I should not have said that, but she angered me. 

 "Lady!" I heard Madison and Karima also exclaim. 

She brought her head down, and I could literally feel the fury within her rumbling, ready to explode. Before I could predict her next move, she summoned her energy from within and started throwing the throne room into confusion. 

It was as if there was an earthquake, with room shaking and all. 

 "Mum, stop!" I found myself yelling but she was already behind control. She was losing herind already. I lunged towards her, to get her to stop but she did not even let me get close before she threw and huge ball of fire my way. 

I was quick to dodge it. 'She no longer recognizes you.' I heard that voice in my head and I looked into her eyes. It was true. My mother's eyes were now so dark, with burning flames in them.

Amidst the chaos, I went on my knees, seeing if I could bring her mind back and appease her. I should have known better, really. Her wolf, and the one she passed down to me, only got awakened whether their hosts is in pain, anger or anything so worse. 

I was still quite young of course, but she was a bit aged, and her wolf was so thorough. 

The tall doors leading to the throne room were flung open, and some of the guards tried coming in. But my mother, in no time sent balls of fire repeatedly at them.

All of the men that attempted coming in all got caught on fire. The sight was painful, for Someone that had always wanted to protect her people. 

At that point, I knew I had to stop her and there was only one way to do that. 

"Madison, Karima, get out!" I yelled at them. They were so reluctant but I forced them to, leaving me and the woman alone in the room.

 I went on my knees, with the strong intention to summon my wolf. 

Before I knew it, blood started rushing down my nostrils, I was pushing myself too hard. I did not back down anyway, my mother kept doing her thing and I did mine.

Her energies were getting more intense and she was destroying buildings, protocols. She was in the throne room with me but her impact went beyond the throne room, down to the open town.

She was ruining homes, killing people from inside as she sent those energies out. The opened doors even made things more smooth for her.

 I needed to do something on time, that I knew. 

With a few seconds, I started to feel some rumbling within me. It was so powerful and great that I felt serious pains bodily.

 "Arghh." I groaned in pain but I had no plans to retreat. 

I closed my eyes and felt some movement in them right before I opened them again. I knew I had come into something huge the moment I opened my eyes. 

 My late grandmother had taught me something about how the earth and air works. She taught me about how strong their energy were and how to summon them, all behind my mother's back.

We did a little experiment together then when I was very little and it worked. Now, I was bigger and the time to use it was here.

 I could no longer stop, the cries of the people were getting to me. My ears were so sharpened right after my wolf had shown up, so I could hear everything even from the very end of the great territory.

Combined with mine, I summoned the earth and the air bringing those energies together, to stop my mum. I was losing breath, but I wanted to just hold out.

 The moment I did that, my mother Started to scream so loudly, her hold on her powers got reduced drastically and within me, I was glad that I was able to stop her. 

She did not stop screaming in agony, that had my heart wrenched in pain and I started to gasp for breath. At that moment, I watched her fall to the floor with a super loud thud, vomiting blood.

My heart literally stopped beating when I saw that, then I blacked out too.

 As I roamed in darkness, I kept shouting out my mother's name, but she was not responding. I suddenly started wallowing in a sea of regrets.

What have I done?
