Victoria reported then broke down and waled. Caleb knew that she and Kendra were close. He understood why she was reacting that way, she might have not cared when she heard about Nazima but Kendra was her friend.
Kendra was crying for Kendra, for their friendship that she betrayed, for the fact that she would never have a friend like her again. But she had no choice, she made a deal with the humans and Kendra was the only one she could get at such short notice.
She also blame Kendra for showing up at the wrong time, she might have tricked a scout to go with her then hand him over to the humans but Kendra saw her and if she had left her then she would have been a problem for her.
“Let’s look at it this way, the queen might have taken Kendra to go with her wherever she went. At least now we know she is not alone. She might be on her way back as we speak.” Zane said with so much hope.
Victoria cried even more knowing that Kendra was not com
Evening, night, and morning came and went but no sign of Nazima or Kendra. The scouts that were sent out as well had not returned. The wait was torture for Caleb and Zane.They did not know what to do. They felt helpless, something they had never felt before. When things did not go their way, they both has a way of fixing things and making them better.But now it was different, they had no clue where Nazima was or any information on her whereabouts or who took her. nothing. They had nothing and that was most frustrating.That morning there was no meeting as per usual as everyone was still busy looking for the queen. Victoria did arrive for the meeting though, her father told her there would be no meeting but she went anyway.She wanted to see how things were. Upon arrival to the meeting hall, she was met with two zombies, Caleb, and Zane. They had dark circles under their eyes looking like they did not sleep a wink.One could tell at first glance that the men were tired and sleepy. “
Brandon was stunned and did not know how to answer. He never thought this woman could be so ruthless, but what was he thinking? He already saw how brutally Nazima killed the doctor, so what made Victoria different?Did he maybe think she was different because he slept with her? Brandon was no stranger to killing but he usually had a good reason for doing so. At least according to him.“Well, that could make things easier, but we still need her alive, other tests will not be conclusive if the subject is dead. I need you to tell me everything I need to know about her.” Victoria crossed her human legs.She enjoyed having them but she did not see herself remaining that way permanently. “Well, she is a Naga by origin but something is not right with her. I don’t mean she is crazy, I mean she had different powers.”Brandon could agree with her on that, his employees told him about how she had something surrounding her. they said it was an alligator but he did not see it, so he could not be s
Victoria looked at Brandon and their eyes locked. Since Nazima had said it, the man did not see a reason to hide it anymore. He slowly nodded looking at her with nothing but adoration in his eyes.“The crazy one speaks the truth, I have strong romantic feelings for which I don’t even know when or how they started. When you were with me, I did not want you to leave, it hurt me to see you leaving me behind. The moment you were gone, I missed you more than I have ever missed anyone before.” He sighed then took her hands in his.He looked into her beautiful eyes. “I have been with many women, and I have never felt anything close to what you make me feel. I guess the reason for that was that I had not found my true love yet and I think that is your Victoria.” He was worried when he saw no reaction from her.“I know you said you can never stay here but we can make it work, we can make arrangements and be together because I don&rsquo
When Victoria arrived back at the kingdom, she went straight to the palace to check on Caleb, she figure that he must have been wake by now as she had been gone for a while.But when she got there, the guards refused to let her in and that confused her. just a few minutes before she arrived the guardians arrived and asked for no one to be let into the meeting hall.“we were given orders not to let anyone in.” one guard told her, Victoria frowned. Who would dare say that? She wondered. “Who said that? Well, it doesn’t matter because I am not just anyone.” She said moving passed the guards and into the meeting hall.Everyone in the room turned to look at her. inside was Caleb, Zane and three women she did not recognise. She had never seen the women before. Two were Naga’s but from different clans judging by their markings.One was a Mer woman but also from a clan she did not recognise as she did not know her markings. She
Caleb just stood there frozen in place, his mind blank and unable to process the news. Zane was the first to snap out of his trace and went towards the guardians. He was so shocked that his hands were shaking,“Please repeat what you just said.” Zane thought maybe he did not hear correctly and that maybe there was some sort of mistake. “I said that young woman there is the one who sold the queen out to the humans, her friend was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.”The guardian clearly explained making Zane feel dizzy. I was all too much to hear and take in at the same time. Victoria took advantage of their confused states and slipped out.“You are letting her leave just like that?” asked another guardian and the two men snapped out of it then one after the other they went after Victoria. When they could not see her outside, they spilt up.Caleb went towards her place while Zane headed to the shore after instructing the guards to spread to word about Victoria. Zane was mad at
Victoria was touched by what Brandon said. It seemed like he was ready to do anything to protect her and that warmed Victoria’s heart. No one has ever treated her this way, on her father but Caleb who she gave her heart to, was just cold towards her.“Thank you, but I want us both to be safe, you don’t know those people like I do.” Victoria now did not want to see Brandon hurt. She figured that she could be with him and give their relationship a chance.If she wanted to go back to the water in the future, then she would have to go to another clan and seek asylum as the queen would never take her back into the kingdom. She would kill her if she ever went there.On the other hand, at the beach front Caleb and Zane stole shorts. They wore them then started running towards the company. Zane knew the way from before and Caleb was just following his lead.They turned heads as they ran past the people, two things attracted the people’s attention to them. one was the tridents and swords they
The two chiefs sung and dodged. Hid from foreign weapons of humans as they moved forward. They held no fear in their hearts as their hearts were no longer with them but with their queen.The one brought them peace, tranquillity and hope. They could not let her down again, they had already let her down when the humans took her from right under their noses.But now they had come to get her back and were willing to lay waste to the human kind if need be. The humans did not expert an ambush like that, therefore, they were not prepared and had no extra magazines to reload their powerful weapons.Gun shots were getting lesser and lesser as they ran out of ammunition. Some had long retreated when they saw how hopeless the situation was. If only they knew that they were not fighting ordinary men but gods.Beads of sweat covered Caleb and Zane’s bodies as they fought. Caleb was ecstatic, he had never had a battle like this before and he had never fought humans.He had to admit that they were w
Nazima didn’t say a word as they left. She heard everything that Kendra said and felt that she was right. Caleb was also to blame for what Victoria did. It was her obsession with him which he did nothing to stop that led to all this.Caleb kept stealing glances at Nazima waiting for her to say something but the queen said nothing. She has been through enough all because of Caleb and she wanted some space from him.She needed time to be alone and figure out what she wanted to do with her life. She thought that there could be something between Caleb and herself but after all this, she was not sure.By the time they got to shore, there were many people there swimming and some just enjoying the sun. Nazima turned to look at everyone. “We need to go that side so that the humans don’t see us.” She pointed at a quitter spot, and everyone agreed.The looks they were getting from people were too much for Nazima and Kendra. Especially Kendra. When she got there, she was unconscious and did not
