They jumped down through the window.A sharp pain sprang through Kiyiya's legs."Sorry" whispered Raven as she helped her up and placed her hand around her shoulders.They could hear the labourious laughter of the drunk guards as they leapt away under the shining moonlight.They tried not to make a sound,and they had gone farther away from the captive house.They had no idea where they were and how far it would be to get back to the palace.Kiyiya herself already felt tired and didn't think she could continue.A sharp breath escaped her lips as she lowered herself to the root of the tree.Raven sat up beside her."What are you doing?!" came Kiyiya's strangled voice "You should..." she paused and then added "You should get going""I've told you.If we go,we go together and if we-" she began when a strange noise interrupted her.She got up abruptly,thinking where that noise must have come from.Raven immediately felt suspicious.For this reason she picked up Kiyiya and again they began to l
They were captured.And this time they cannot escape because he's finally sentenced them to death.By tomorrow morning, they'd be dead.Locked in a room with chained hands and legs,they had nothing to say.They felt dejected,sad,hurt and lonely and perhaps they were reminiscing on their lives.Happy moments and sad moments."I wish I could say goodbye to my dad." Raven whispered "And apologize for those times I..I wronged him""Your father is partly to blame.If not for him we would still have a bit of hope to cling unto" Kiyiya said the blatant truth."If there's one deserving of our apology" she paused and added "It's Nicolina"Raven wore a short smile devoid of happiness."Nicolina." she called sluppily "We can't also deny that she is the root of our problems""I could have been with the man I love if she hadn't showed up." Raven saidKiyiya drew a throaty laughter "I have been with Aiden even before you came to stay in the palace.The truth is,none of this is Nina's fault"She turn
Klaus' panicking mind came to rest when he saw that the palace was unusually quiet.What came to his mind was that Mateo wasn't at home.However,as he stepped into his chamber's and locked the door the light in the room turned on."Well,well, well.." began Mateo "Look who we have here!"Klaus began to tremble"What exactly is it,father? There was a time you'd beat me up and tell me to be more stronger so I can defeat Aiden and get the throne.""There was a time when you called me a weakling and ridiculed the fact that I couldn't be as ruthless as you wanted me to be!""You alone taught me never to give my enemies second chance."He got up from the couch."Here I am.Exactly how you wanted me to be" he shook his head "Now you don't want me anymore?""The same mouth of yours that urged me to kill Aiden and secure the throne is the same mouth you have used,today.."He paused and continued "..to urge Aiden to defeat me or even possibly kill me and secure the throne"Mateo laughed although
The next morning.Matteo had both Kiyiya and Raven standing in front of the small number of citizens.Considering the present crisis,the number of citizens of Fye Kingdom has reduced drastically.The King had summoned them to the palace for them to witness the reward of those who dare goes against him.The ladies were chained with their hands behind.They were on their knees with a huge rock stem in front of them.They are going to be beheaded.Klaus stood not afar off,trembling.He still didn't know what to do.The dark circles under his eyes and the swelling told that he had not slept at all last night.Instead he had prayed.He had prayed that Aiden would show up suddenly after much thought to what he had said yesterday.However nothing like that happened.Mateo came up beside him."What is it? Are you still expecting a miracle?" he chuckled "You'll only have yourself to blame once your daughter's head goes rolling to your feet"Klaus shuddered as he watched Matteo order the soldiers
"We have to leave." Klaus said "He isn't going to react""Is there a way we can destroy this cell?!" demanded a furious AliciaKlaus shook his head."We can fight Mateo together?" Raven suggested "Just to buy..buy us Nina a little time?"Alicia shrugged as she continued to stare at Aiden."We would all die even before Nina defeats Zeres" Alicia replied"But..for how long would it take for her to defeat him?""I don't know.The fight's been on for three days now" came Alicia's reply."However, that's not the point" she turned to them "We all know that Aiden is the only one capable of defeating Mateo.""If Nina can defeat the Keeper then I believe Aiden can surely put Mateo in his place.He just needs to believe in himself""He doesn't need belief" Damon interjected "He knows he can defeat Mateo he just doesn't want to""His mate is dead-""Can still come back to life" interrupted Alicia"It's still an option.We don't know yet if she can." Damon responded "If he's mate is dead who will he
They marched together all the way to the palace.Luckily,Mateo was still finding it difficult to open the vault.He was in the room trying to reach the Keeper about the process of opening the vault when one of his soldiers came and alerted him about the crowd gathered outside.Mateo was at first surprised.He thought the soldier had lost his mind.However,when he moved to look through his window he caught them.He wasn't the least surprised.Instead he changed out of his casual clothing and into his fighting suit."Get the soldiers ready" Mateo ordered even when he knew he wouldn't be needing them.He stepped out of the palace,his jacket flowing with the wind.He smiled."Hello." he said sarcastically "I see it is my ex-wife leading this useless battle"He shrugged"What really made y'all think you can defeat me?""We're not here to defeat you." responded Alicia "The one to that will be here soon,till then no more talking"He began walking towards them"As you wish"* * *Zeres was givin
A thin line of blood crept down her lips.He withdrew the sword from her,making more blood to gush out.Raven fell on her knees,her sword dropping from her hand."Goodbye,Princess" Mateo grinned as he raised his sword to cut off her head."Noooo!" Klaus screamed as he ran towards them but it was impossible to get there on time.Just as the sword lowered,it stopped midway in the air.Klaus stopped in his tracks and so did the others.What was happening?They could all see Mateo struggling with his sword ,however it hanged there on the air.A large hand grabbed his throat from nowhere.It was more of happiness than surprise to see him again.He looked nothing like he did back at the dungeon.It was like he'd gone for a thorough transformation but this wasn't the time to ogle.Aiden narrowed his eyes."I've come to pay you a visit" he smirked as he looked around "I don't see any chairs or wine?"He hissed slightly "Oh..I forgot! It's not a time for you to make merry, you're gonna die soon
Alicia went between them and seperated them."This isn't the time to fight!" she sniffed "Raven just died,we have no idea where Mateo is and all you can do is fight??!""Fight??" Aiden chuckled "Trust me,when all this is over I will make his life miserable!""Aiden!" Alicia shot a look at him "When did you become this way?!""Since when everything was taken away from me"Kiyiya was all quiet however the moment she saw Damon running towards them she immediately opened her mouth to speak."I think I should go to the palace and..and-" she didn't think of the lie yet when he came and interrupted."Mateo has taken the vault!" he announced."No..he mustn't release it yet!" screamed Alicia as she immediately began to run towards the palace.The rest followed after her.Mateo,on seeing them,created a force field to stop them from coming closerAlicia banged on it."Don't do it,Mateo!! The Keeper will kill us all!!" she screamed.He grinned and then broke the vault into two "Nooo!!" Kiyiya sc
New Year's night was great.The most wonderful thing ever.Aiden was coronated King and Damon,the right hand man.Nina automatically became Queen and she chose Kiyiya as her assistant.The greatest thing that would ever happen in the whole land.Nina couldn't at the same time, govern her city and stay with her husband here in Kingdom Fye.So she fulfilled destiny by bringing the two opposite worlds together.She destroyed the hatred and enmity and in place created room for love and unity.Everyone lived in harmony and it was just what she wanted.She was most grateful to her father.He was the first one to believe in her.And at a time she hadn't yet realized her powers.She wished there was a way for her to transport both from the underworld to the real world but Alicia said it was no longer possible.For she could only choose one to stay in forever.And she had chosen here.Kingdom Relf.She changed the name into a unitary and combination of the last two letters of Vampire and Werewolf.
Kiyiya gasped loudly,she glared at him."Let go off me!"He held her still against the wall."Why Kiyiya?" he groaned from within "Why did you hide it from me!" he thundered"Please, Damon.." she looked away,tears filling her eyes "I..I don't want to talk about this!""You will have to! How long will you continue to run?? How did you expect me to make amends if I do not know why you want to end things between us!""I don't want you to make amends!" Kiyiya shouted back "Don't bother! Because I am tired..I can't..I can't do this anymore!" He went quiet for a while."What more can I offer you?! All my life with you has been all lies! I was deceitful! A traitor! After all these,do you still expect me to face you,look you in the eye and pretend all is well?""No" she answered her own rhetorical question.She gazed at him."You've done more than enough for me,Damon" she began "But I never deserved a man like you and I'm not ashamed to admit it""So please.. let's end things before the new
A week later.It was the new year.A week ago after the victory of Nicolina and the beginning of her era,everyone had great plans for the preparations of the new year.They wanted it all in one because it was indeed a new year.It signified the end of the tyrant and the commencement of new friendships.The palace was re-constructed beautifully and by Nina's will did enmity between neighbouring kingdoms, ended.In fact she had summoned for all under Kingdom Fye to attend the upcoming ceremony.Kiyiya and Raven had chosen to go over to the farther lands to inform them of the New Year Festival and to invite them to the palace.Considering how far the journey is it wasn't until a week later did they return and Kiyiya did this on purpose.She didn't want to cross path with Damon.Although she was hurting terribly for having to stay away from him but she couldn't bring herself to look at him and love him the same again.She didn't want a relationship where there'd be compromises,even though s
He threw his arms around her without the slightest caution and pulled her into his embrace fiercely.Their skin contact created a warm spark that ushered into their hearts floods of love.It was like the eruption of a volcano.It took seconds before Nina wrapped her hands around his neck.Even though her love for him that was sleeping in the crevice of her heart had awoken by the touch of his hands,she still remained adamant about her decision.She maintained that it was because she loves him.So therefore,she was willing to let him go...to the person he truly loves.He withdrew,holding her face in his palms and rested their foreheads together"I feel so blessed to have you" he whispered."How..how did you manage to get back?" he asked with his hands all over her,gazing at her wounds that were slowly healing.Nicolina smiled."You're looking at the Keeper of the Underworld" It took few seconds for him to understand and when he did,he couldn't help but smile at the warrior she has now
