“ Why do you suddenly want to marry me? " Rosemary asked Archer with her stern face when they got to her chambers. “ Answer me. " She said when she got no response. " I just want to marry you? Is there something wrong with doing that? “ Archer asked and she scoffed. " Something wrong? Seriously? You're standing there and you're asking if there's something wrong with marrying me? Archer! Everything is wrong! “" There's nothing wrong. “" No no no. I'm not doing this. I'm not going to be used to keep you on throne. “ " What?! “" I know why you're doing this. You didn't tell me you wanted to marry me and out of nowhere you're just suddenly ready to move on? Archer, I begged you. I pleaded with you to let go of the past to make us work but you weren't ready. Now all of a sudden you're ready to marry me...... “" Rose...... “" You want to use my as a pawn to keep the throne and then dump me when you've gained full control. I'm not doing this!“" That's not true. “" It is. “ " No...
The whole royal household ran to the direction of the noise and they were greeted by the sight of a gruesome attack. Bodies were scattered all over the ground, blood everywhere. Bellamy covered her mouth to stop herself from throwing up. “ How did this happen? “ Cole asked no one in particular. “ I heard the scream, that's why I ran out too, my Lord. " One of the maids said shaking as fear enveloped her. " What's going on here? " Queen Minerva as she walked towards the scene with Alicent. “ It's the queen. She's alive. "“ She really is."“ She looks more ravishing."“ Your Majesty." Murmurs came from the staff as they bowed their heads to pay respect. “ I don't know what happened here. I just came to get the last horse back into the stable when I found them here like this. " The stable boy who had found the bodies and screamed narrated. “ Clear the bodies. " Queen Minerva said to the guards and she turned to Bellamy. “ Where the hell is your brother?" “ I don't know. " Bellam
“ Nicklaus!" Bellamy screamed hoping he would hear her but he didn't. “ No amount of screams woukd make them hear you. “ Dagon smiled widely. " I have you all to myself....... “" Why are you doing this? You're already powerful enough. Why do you want more? “ Bellamy cried. " Everyone wants more power. Don't tell me you haven't thought about it? Not even once? Well that's too bad. With the power you have, I was thinking you might have thought of acquiring more power. “ " I don't need more power. I already have too much. Powers that I can't even understand. “ Bellamy said. " I want to offer you a deal…" “ What kind of deal?" Bellamy raised her brows in confusion. Didn't he want to kill her few minutes ago?“ Work with me. Let's take over all of Crusta together. Let's have everything we both wish to have together." “ Why would I want to work with you?"“ Because I kill all your loved ones at a snap of my fingers. Did you like what happened earlier at the castle grounds?" He smirke
“ Bellamy! " Rosemary screamed from her sleep. “Finally. " Antoinette said running towards her bed. Rosemary stared at her surroundings and she gasped. “ Archer?" She asked her aunt worriedly. “ He went to find the princess." " We have to find them or she'll die. “ " What did you see? “" I saw her burning alive. “ " What? “" And Dagon took all of her powers including immortality. “ " Immortality? “" She's immortal. “" Archer told me you lost your powers. “" I did. I haven't seen any vision for a long time. “ " You won't be able to see any vision anymore, except the gods and goddesses want it to be seen. “" Why? “" You went into the forest of the dead with the prince right? “ " Yes."“ Only Moona's bloodline can go there and come back complete. If you had gone there without your powers, you would have died. The forest took your powers to live. " “ You mean I don't have my powers anymore. "“ Except the gods wishes you well. Look, Rose you're the first person in our fam
Dagon searched fruitlessly for Bellamy all over the castle grounds. He even went as far as searching the castle grounds but he couldn't find her. “ There's no way she would have left the castle grounds. " He said thoughtfully. He went back to the palace and immediately he walked past the gates, he felt like he had been caged. “ Now you can never leave this environment again until you're dead. “ Arleta said glaring at him hatefully. “ You little thing. You think you can defeat me with a mere prison magic?!"“ I'm not the one to defeat you. Where is my sister?" “ Oh now you care about her." He chuckled. “ She's dead or dying. " " What?...... “" Yes, I killed her. And I have to wait until the full moon comes out to take her powers. “ " You bastard!“ Arleta yelled and the ground rumbled. " You can't beat me. You should already know that by now. “ He smiled evilly. " That won't stop me from trying. As long you're still walking the surface of earth, I'll keep trying to kill you unt
“ You're so petty, Eleanor. Holding a grudge for twenty four years. " Lord Balor laughed. “ I don't care if it's for a century, King Cassius was supposed to be mine. " She scoffed. “ You know very well that would never have happened. You didn't have any powers and you still don't. “ " We should have been together!“" And what would have happened to the throne. You know only couples with power can keep it alive. " “ I don't care. I loved Cassius." She sighed and he chuckled. “ Your one-sided love would never have earned you marriage to the king.“ " If she wasn't.... “" If she wasn't there, he would have gotten married to someone else from his bloodline. “ “ It doesn't matter. As far as neither her nor her children will sit on that throne. “ Eleanor laughed. " I have to warn the others. “ Arleta muttered. " But where will I find them? I got it. Father always says those connected by blood share a unique magic with each other that makes them communicate without being close. “"
“ You're nothing compared to me. " Dagon beat his chest and Queen Minerva chuckeld. “ Well you might be right. And still wrong. It seems you've forgotten about our long time history and why the Storm bloodline is as powerful as it is now. " Queen Minerva smirked. " I'm not in the mood for stories. “ He said and stretched his left hand. A silver spear appeared and he threw it to Queen Minerva but she bounced it back and it went back to him. He didn't expect it so it grazed his right arm. “ It's just a story. I mean if you want to rule all, the mere commoners deserve to know their origin. " Queen Minerva said. “ What's she doing?" Nicklaus whispered. “ Relax, it's just a distraction." Bellamy said assuredly. “ So can I begin? " Queen Minerva asked with a smirk and when he didn't respond, she saw it as a go ahead. “ Just listen fool. You'll be dead soon. " She said within herself. ....18 AD.It was the time when the son of the former king, Harbin took over the throne. He was obs
She walked deep into the cave and came across a pot burning with light. There was water under the pot and light in the pot. Corra walked closer curiously. She tried to touch the light but something held her hand and that was when her senses came back. “ What am I doing here? " She asked herself." I brought you here. “ A voice said behind her and she turned to see the priestess. " High priestess?“" I have something to show you. “ The priestess said pointing at the pot. " This belonged to our forefathers. They used to foresee the future, the past and many other things. I brought here to show you something. “ The priestess and walked towards the pot. She touched the light and became dim. " Maybe you should try it. My powers are getting weak. “ The priestess said and she nodded. She placed her hand on the light and it glowed brighter. " Now close your eyes and see what it has to show you. “ Corra closed her eyes as she placed her hand on the light. She saw herself in a desert holdin
The palace halls were decorated with flowers and beautiful lights. It was the wedding ceremony of Princess Bellamy Storm and Prince Nicklaus Grey. Everyone and everywhere was bubbling with excitement for it was the excitement of the season. “ Your Majesty.“ Miranda bowed her head slightly as King Archer walked past her. " The princess is still being dressed. “" Send the maids out. I want to speak to my sister alone. “ Archer said and she nodded. " Out. “ Miranda said to all the maids in the dressing room. When they were all out, Archer walked in looking elegant. " Another royal wedding. “ Archer sighed and she giggled. " I know what you want to say, brother. “ Bellamy said. " I was so sad when you weren't there for my wedding..... Seeing you right now makes me feel sad and relived. I wish I could spend more time with you but now you're getting married. My little sister is a full grown woman. It's hard to let you go. “ He sniffed. " You're not letting me go brother. You're lettin
After forcing Bellamy into a red gown, they went to their separate rooms to dress up while Nicklaus stayed with her. “ You look beautiful." Nicklaus smiled. “ You've said that a million times. " Bellamy chuckled and he pecked her forehead.“ I'll say it over and over again. As much I'd like, I don't want to miss out again." He said affectionately. “ And you won't. You didn't miss out on anything. It was my decision not yours. So please do not feel guilty. There was nothing you could have done." She said and stared deeply immediately into his eyes. “ I love you Nicklaus. Nothing is gonna ever change how I feel about you. " She said slowly licking her lips seductively. “ If you keep doing that, we might just have to skip the ball for real. " He said huskily against her neck and she closed her eyes. “ I woukd love that." She moaned as he nibbled on her neck. “ Love what? " Arleta asked barging in unannounced. “ Get your ass up and let's go to the ball before we're too late. “ ...
It's been seven days since the birth of Prince Zoran. Rosemary was stronger thanks to Queen Minerva's herbs. They were praying for the circumcision of the prince. Sebastian had sent word of Bellamy's arrival and the whole castle couldn't wait to see the princess once again especially Queen Minerva. ...SEVEN DAYS AGO.Nicklaus helped Bellamy out of the water and he took her to where the others were sleeping. Sebastian was the first to sense her. It has always been in him to know when she was around since they were children.“ Bells?" He bat his eyelashes together as he stood up slowly. He opened his eyes and staggered at first when he saw Bellamy with Nicklaus. “ Baby brother. " Bellamy smiled widely. Her smile was the same but her aura ahd changed. “ Bells?" “ It is I, dear brother. " Bellamy said and pulled him in a hug. “ Look, I'm real." “ You're alive? You're back?"“ I'm not going nowhere. I'm back to stay forever. " She chuckled as he hugged her back. “ Bells. " He cried.
The thorough search for Bellamy's body began. It became fiercer when Rosemary narrated her vision. Everyone in the kingdom was at alert for the person who had taken the young princess. Rosemary's due date was almost near, so Archer had to stay with her and run the kingdom too. Queen Minerva was always at the garden since she came out of the room. It was as if she didn't hear the news of Bellamy's disappearance. “ Your Majesty, lunch is ready. " Miranda came to get her in the garden but she refused as usual. “ Let her be, Miranda. I'll ask the King to come speak to her himself." Cristin sighed. “ I hope he's able to. " ..THE FOREST OF THE DEADBellamy walked in the forest barefooted like she had no care in the world. Her body had long reunited with her soul the moment she disappeared from the cave. She came straight to the forest since it was the only place that felt like home. She had been waiting for days for someone to find her in the forest but no one came. “ Will they reall
It's been two weeks since Rosemary saw her last vision. She was near her due date but she felt uncomfortable. She always had this fear whenever she went to the midwife for checkups. “ Relax baby. It's gonna be fine. " Archer would always tell her but she still had this fear. She didn't tell them the whole truth about what she saw. In her vision, she was told that for one to live again, another must give her life. She didn't want to be the one who would go neither did she want her baby who would be the heir to the throne to leave too. “ Your Majesty. " Miranda said walking into her room. She had actually sent for her when she felt the usual uneasiness. “ You've had a baby when you were my age right?" She asked and Miranda stared blankly for a while before nodding slowly. “ Tell me, Miranda. Was it this painful?" “ Your Majesty.."“ Just tell me."“ It was uncomfortable and yes, it was painful when I had my baby. But every woman has her own hormones. Yours might not be painful. " M
“ Is she your mother?" Sebastian asked Bianca who had this blank expression on her face. “ I don't know. I don't even know what to believe again. How can my birth mother be this beautiful and I'm like this?" She feigned tears and Archer arched his brows. “ You're not sad coz she abandoned you, you're sad coz she's more beautiful." He said in belief. “ That too. I mean how could she leave me and still be more beautiful than I am?" She frowned. “ Your Majesty." Lady Celine bowed her head one more time waiting for Archer to talk to her.“ I didn't send for you, my lady. Your daughter did." Archer said and she stared at him confused. “ My daughter? You must be mistaken your Majesty. I don't have a daughter. Charles is my only son." Lady Celine said. “ Adopted." Charles muttered. “ We'll discuss this at the palace in two days. Come to the palace in two days." Archer said and she disappeared with Charles. “ Why did she disappear? “ Bianca asked. " What you saw was an illusion. She
“ Bianca are you sure you want to do this?" Arleta asked one more time when they got to the border. It was after dusk and the moon was almost out when they got there. “ Yes. They need us. " Bianca smiled. “ Just say you like Sebastian. " Violet scoffed. “ I like him. What's wrong about that?" Bianca said and Cole coughed. “ What?!" She glared at him. “ Isn't Nora coming to see you off?" Jeffrey asked Cole who said nothing. " Maybe she's still sulking. “ Arleta said. " I never wanted to leave her but Bianca's right. We were wrong leaving our family just a month after Bellamy's death. “ Cole sighed. " If she really loves you, she'll regret this decision. “ Bianca shrugged. " Cole! “ Nora called running to them. " She came!“ Cole smiled widely but her next words made his smile drop. " Don't go. Stay with me. “ She said and Arleta raised her left eyebrow. " What! “" Don't go. We've only been together again for just six months and now you want to leave me to stay with a family
“ Oh my God!" Bianca gushed happily. She wasn't expecting this kind of welcome. She had always been a bully right from middle school so she couldn't make more friends aside Violet. “ Dad? Violet? Jeffrey? Arleta! Oh my God! Cole! You're back. " She said and pulled both Arleta and Cole in a tight hug. “ Yes we are. And welcome back from Italy. " Arleta chuckled. “ I never knew I had so much friends. " Bianca said as she looked around in tears.“ Bitch what's the tears for?" Violet nudged her shoulders and she laughed. “ I missed you too, miss tiger." She hugged her tightly. “ Is Bellamy back too? And Sebastian?" Bianca asked when they had all settled in. Her father had retired to his room and left the youngsters to celebrate. The room suddenly turned gloomy when she asked the question and she wondered why. “ Guys I hope it's not what I'm thinking... Don't tell me.... “" Bellamy had to sacrifice herself to save the inhabitants of earth. “ Cole said. " And Sebastian is a now a sh
SEVEN MONTHS LATER.NEW YORK.“ Hey babe. Good morning. " Cole said as he stared at the beautiful face in front of him. She opened her eyes slowly and smiled when she saw him staring at her closely. “ Good morning handsome. “ Nora said and pecked his lips. " I'm so glad you're back in my arms again. “ He said. " Thanks to someone for bringing me back to you. “ She giggled. " Yeah, thanks to her. I wish she was here to experience all this. “ He sighed and she held his face. " Hey, she's happy wherever she is. “ Nora said and he nodded. " I hope so. “ Cole got back together with Nora a month after Bellamy's death. The border stood stronger than before but only members of the royal family could go between two worlds. The first thing he did when he got back was ask Nora out. " I really missed you baby. “ Nora said and claimed his lips. ...." Arleta! Arleta! Wait. " Jeffrey called running after her as she ran out of the house. “ Don't try to stop me Jeffrey. I need to kill her. "
