OCTAVIA
The palace was so beautiful today, the walls and edges were decorated with blue and white flowers. The maids were busy with the different chores assigned to them and they rushed here and there trying to get things done.
I stared down from my window sniffing in the cool air. the morning was so beautiful and refreshing.
I left the window for my closet and brought out the blue dress Sylvia had picked for me earlier. starring at it again brought wild feelings to me.
My dad will be smiling in his grave now.
"Daddy your daughter would soon be crown queen!!" I twirled around my room with the dress dancing to music only I could hear.
I fell on the bed heavily and laughed. I was just so happy, my dream is finally coming to reality. I jumped up from bed as a thought crept into my head, I giggled and walked out of my room majestically.
King Herman was pacing to and fro in his room. He wasn't satisfied with just a "we found the prince horse feeding" news.Hell!! Was that supposed to be news. they were supposed to bring his sword or better still him."My king." Queen Anna called softly placing her hand on king Herman's broad shoulder caressing it."Anna." His deep voice came out dry.He must have been thinking less and drank too much. She could barely recognize his voice considering how cracked it sounded."You drank too much again, it won't solve anything.""Anna." He called frailly ignoring the taunting stares of her carring eyes. "I wasn't able to sleep since the messanger came..""And drinking yourself to death will make you fall asleep? It will only make you fall sick my lord.""I know...," he hushed and went to sit on a wooden chair
"Can I have that". Special said to Jeiel who had the telescope out to her.Prince Jeiel was on the roof top as he noticed some unsual dust coming from the fields. He sensed trespassing and immediately went to check it out."Some warriors dressed in pink." He muttered cleaning his sword with a cloth." That's not what I see. They're dressed in black and red, I think they're from the palace. There's a woman.." she said still looking through the telescope." A woman?" He asked dragging it from her hands and peeped through it.Immediately he wore a crumpled look, like someone who had been soaked in acid. He dropped the telescope on the roof and climbed down. Special stared at his back letting out a small smile."Guess this is where I come in, most wanted." she grinned and went after the prince.*
Queen Anna was able to talk Jeiel into coming with them after a fruitless argument. They decided to heed back that same day as there was war coming.The prince went sober after listening to the war story and the animal's. He felt like a disgrace to his kingdom so he decided to go back home and fixed his kingdom.Special and Lucien where cordially invited to join them at the war concerning their skills and how far it will help them. Jeiel had told her mom how well Special fights and that she alone is worth a hundred warriors and she laughed over it finding it exaggerating.They all rode together in two's and hits the road to Medusa Palace.They got to the palace and the king had ran
The day went by smoothly with both kingdoms heavily prepared for the war. The Wizards kingdom was very much prepared than the latter. Having the head of council, Master Medellin as their leader they set to the boundary planting traps and spies everywhere.The next day the kingdom was in mourning. The villagers where asked to lock themselves in their house or any secret inn. The prince tried to assure them that all was in control but the pathetic faces they all wore made him really weak."People of Medusa." Prince Jeiel said addressing the huge crowd of people gathered around him.'He looked at his people and fear crept into his heart. He wouldn't let anything happen to his people. He will go to war defeat his enemies and come back to his father.'He was lost in thoughts but the voices of the villagers brought him back to earth."Medusa have never lost a war,"
Zackeous was happy his plans went smoothly. Author would be so proud of him right now.With a full spoon of mashed rice in his mouth he stared at the maids and met their stern look. He would start with those bullies."What are you starring at?" One of the maids asked making ugly faces at him. She was angry because they had to feed him anything he wants and he had almost ordered for everything in the palace."Let the boy be." Another maid said at his defense. He just ignored them and continued with his feast.Houses were aglow as the flames licked their ways up the sides.Innocent people screamed from within the fiery embers begging for a quick death. The warriors had to watch their steps as bodies littered the ground, drenching it with their still warm blood. They had arrived too late."Hello Lucien." A man said standing at their front with a weak smile
Special was trolling down the maids quarters. She heard noises coming from there and her guts feeling wasn't something to joke about.She walked to the door and placed her ears on it trying to get a clear hearing. She heard sounds of tearing fleshes, screams and unnecessary movements.'What was happening there?' she panicked and kicked the door open bursting into an owl smell. Smells of fresh blood and butchered human. 'Who could have done this?'She checked the dead bodies and examined them, if she was to calculate it wasn't up to 30 minutes. Damn! Who the hell would have pulled such hit without her knowing.'This is so creepy and the stupid emotions rising in her is more creepy. '"Arghhhhhh!!" She groaned and stood up walking to the window, there were traces of nails on the wall smeared with blood, she touched it and brought it to her nose.&nb
Prince Jeiel was loosing his men to the evil staff of master Medellin. He was on the loosing side and all power had almost drain from his body. The battle was one nightmare he would wish to wake up from. The tense movement of bodies swaying in the air, clenching sounds of swords, screams everywhere and the stench smell of fresh blood clouding the air. He just wanted to wake up early if really it was a nightmare. His men are dying yet he's still losing, he couldn't stop thinking about his parents. If they where safe at the palace and the girl he left there would she be alright. A deep groan escaped his throat as an arrow pierced into his arm. He must have been thinking too much for him not to notice when the sword was shot at him. He groaned loudly as he pulled the arrow out and then exhaled. "Brace up warriors.. if
My Heroin Special looked at him one more time. She could kill him right now. She could grab him, pull his hair and strangle him to death, but what will she gain?She threw her face away and twisted her lips. She don't know what happened in the past years but she could feel an old built anger rising up in her ready to explode. What ever those people did to wipe her memories, they weren't intelligent enough. They had left an old scar, she still felt pains, guilt and her spirit pleads for vengeance.' King Herman.. ' She growled silently.A hand grabbed her hand squeezing it softly, she shudderd and turned her neck slowly to see who the hand belongs to."Lucien." She bit her lips slowly and turned to face him, he gave her a rumpled smile and released her hand."You good?" He asked watching her closely. 'She must have had a lot in that tiny head of hers.'
Why won't he say something, can't he suddenly make use of his mouth, c'mon Lucien tell me. She growled inwardly, staring anxiously at him.Has something gone wrong?"Maria needs the heart of a wizard, she's suffering from an ailment." He said feebly."And Andrew?""He's on the lookout for one." He drew and she sighed heavily.Pushing her lips into her mouth, she swallowed, "there's a fresh wizard body in my room." She revealed and Lucien tilt his neck to look at her."What are we still waiting for, let's go get it." He rushed, hoping they would just get on their feets and move but with the pale face of Special he knew something was up. "What is troubling you?" He inquired and her shoulders dropped."I promised not to return to that palace, he mustn't see me, if he sees me something terrible will happen." She sa
Special appeared at the doorstep and placed her hand on the doorknob. Was she ready to do this? Why was she finding it so hard to go inside?Lucien had left her in a very painful way but then again they are the only people that knows her for who she is, they can't just ditch her over some mistakes she didn't make on purpose. If she were to leave, what reason would she provide to her annoying subconscious? She doesn't have feelings, how is she to feel any bad going to them.Maybe because she feels hate towards those that hurt her, it's true Lucien pricked a tiny hate from within her but he came to be that wizard that he enjoys working with. Too bad their business had to end early.Tired of battling with her subconscious she released her hold from the door and moved backward, she wasn't ready to face any refusal. She walked away climbing on a huge tree a few distance away from the house.
Abel ran into her room shutting the door behind her, she wasn't sure of what she had seen but her eyes weren't deceiving her either. She had seen an extremely tall figure sauntering into the walls, it wasn't the witches, was it? Heavens! She wasn't ready for all these battling questions coming in and out of her, she just wanted to be free from it all but seems that's definitely not gonna happen, she was sorta scared of leaving the four walls of the palace apparently she wasn't gonna step out for like ten days or so, pfft. Her hair is so whacked up already, she hasn't even gotten any time to brush, not to mention looking at the mirror, she fears she might dissolve into the air if Blair appears before her. Her eyes have gone puffy and swollen, enough bags to make them all heavy and blurry, she clearly hasn't gotten any sleep and to think it was midnight, crap! She needed to be close to somebody to overcome her
He walked angrily to the room and waited for her, suddenly she appeared, a grin plastered on her face. "How could I not know you were the one behind it, tell me do you feel better now?" "Much better." Special replied, tilting her head. The guard glared at her and huffed. "It's enough, you're doing more than we bargained for, the Queen was out of the deal, why put her in coma?" "Because you have a love interest, I am not human, you should be thankful I didn't do worse." "You're such a teaser, as much as I hate royalty I don't like death either so you should stop this madness." He sneered. "I stopped that couple of minutes ago." She said breezily and walked to the bed, "I think you should learn to mind your business you just made me look like a clown before the prince, you do know what he will be thinking right now." "That you're a magician, w
Author awaited the she-devils feedback. Weren't they able to track Blair and why haven't they bothered to come see him. He got up from his seat and punched the wall aggressively. He was tired of waiting, why won't they just get him Octavia and her stupid look-aike. He ran his fingers in his hair, his eyes fixed to the door, he was having hopes that they were on their way to him already. Hopefully, they were. The she-devils walked in and stood a distance away from him, he raised his head up and his eyes rested on them. "Why are you just coming and where is Octavia?" He asked, his eyes pinned on theirs. " We couldn't get her but we are still not gonna give up." Claire said and watched the dissatisfaction in Author's eyes. "We got something, there's something in Medusa." She further said and Author huffed. "By something.. do you mean the staff? We don't need it anywh
Prince Jeiel was having his meal when a knock came from the door, he stopped eating, perhaps waiting for the guard to walk in. Just when he wanted to continue another knock came. "Come in." He said and the door opened but nobody came in. He looked at it as nothing and continued eating, just then some noise started coming from his study room. He was just gonna have his meal and rest. He stood up tirelessly and was about to move when his food fell down messing up the floor. "Shit!" He cursed. His button got stuck with the table cloth. "Urghhhh!" He would call a maid to clean it later but now he needs to know what's making the noise in his study room. Twisting the door knob slowly he peeped inside but saw nothing, it was a harmless breeze coming from the window that was making the books flip. He pushed the door open and walked inside, heading straight to the window. Locking it, he bent down to pack the scrolls on the
The door opened and the guard walked in, humming rymes. Special gathered herself and sat up, she had her eyes on his everymove waiting for him to come nearer and then grab him and shift back to her normal form. "You do know I can hear your thoughts, right?" The guard said, rolling his eyes at her. Damn! She almost forgot. "And I heard that too. Why don't you enjoy my body while it lasts, I know you haven't seen a penis before." Her eyes deepened,"what's.." "You are not going to ask me that, are you? I have powers too and invisible is one of them, am sure you've tried that one before." He connered his eyes at her. She scoffed and turned away. "You really have to try them and I can teach you some magic lines,you see you can do terrible things to people that believe you're a demon, you know what I mean." "I
SpecialI appeared in my room, forming back to my old self, a pain nibbled at my chest, why would they poison me, am not a threat to the prince, why's Damina turning his back on me all of a sudden? We were both from the same clan,or so I thought. It's good I saw the truth for myself,now I would know who to strike. I felt a sharp pain on my stomach, I moved my hands there as fast as I could, holding it tight. My hands started watering or was it something solid, let it not be what I am thinking!Slowly I raised my hand up and saw blood, was I bleeding? Wait the sharp pain.. the hell is wrong with these people! I need to do something,I really need to. I paced around my room, what could I possibly do to stop this. I couldn't feel my feets anymore, I dragged myself to the bed and grabbed the sheets tearing it apart. I took one part and tied it round my stomach. I shouldn't be here, I have to go to a safe place to heal.I saw
"I warned you about this Special, I knew it all along," a hint of sadness hiding in his voice, I walked to him with dropped shoulders and held his hands, "Lucien, am sorry for letting my emotions get on the way, I promise to find answers but please you have to stay with me." I cooed, sniveling, he raised his face to look at me slightly removing his hands from mine."You just got a chance to be human but ruin it immediately, it all started when you made the king disabled and then saving the prince right in his presence, who in her right senses does that," he removed his gaze on me and moved backward staring blankly at me, 'was I the black sheep now? I have never felt anything before and suddenly everything feels so overwhelming, how could I handle such when I haven't felt that way for a very long time,' I nodded sadly and spoke rather too rudely, "it's not my fault you know I had never handled such since my existence but you kept a blind eye, watching me from a d
