108. ROSELINE —" No time to check if they were alive"

I stared in disbelief. Everyone else stared in disbelief, especially Xavier who looked like he had just seen a ghost. "Juliet." He whispered and clamped his hand heavily against his chest as though he thought his heart was about to fall off. I almost felt bad for him. If I wasn't in shock myself about the disappearance of that witch, I might have. My mind travelled through many possibilities but none of them made sense. Juliet should be here. Dead, but here nonetheless. The only reason I'd decided to help Xavier was to watch his priceless reaction when he beheld the pallor of Juliet's skin. I wanted to see him weep and then afterwards, come back to his senses. I needed to see with my own eyes the moment he realized that this was a losing battle. Now she was gone leaving a trail of bloody prints in her wake. She couldn't have gone far, right? If I hurried, I could catch up with her. But Xavier was here and this was a variable I had not considered. "Oh my God, what have I done?"

109. XAVIER —"I had to confirm her safety"

At interval, terror seized me. Everyday it felt like I was walking on thin ice and when I tried to take my mind off things, my heart constricted in a painful manner that forced me back to reality. In the few moments when my thoughts weren't plagued with those of Juliet, I thought of my father. How our lives down spiralled from a hundred to a startling zero was something I could not wrap my head around. Now that I'd confirmed Ariel was safe and healthy, I wondered if I should not have stayed back and ensured I found Juliet. I was sure Roseline and the others did a good job but my mind couldn't be put at ease since I wasn't there to complete the search myself. Now that I had lost my one chance to go into the human realm, I regretted my hasty decision. I should have taken a bit of time to plan and strategize before diving there head first. What if Juliet was still trapped in there somewhere unable to find her way home? What if she was left for dead with only a few hours window on h

110. ARIEL — "The only way out is death"

Darkness. Darkness everywhere. My heart thrummed painfully in my chest as I scrambled about. What was this soul crippling fear and why was I running? More accurately, what was I running from? Where was I anyway? The last thing I could remember was being cuddled up in bed with Xavier talking about how to sort out the issue with the council of elders. Now, that seemed like ages ago. I remembered someone holding their hand out to me and for a moment, I'd seen Juliet's face. When I grabbed the hand, I'd been pulled aggressively out of bed and then thrown into the abyssal darkness. Where was Xavier? Had he fallen victim to this enchantment too or was he somewhere out there looking for ways to save me? I dug my nails into the ground but even I did not know what I was searching for; Clues? A map that would lead me back home? "Is anyone out there? Please save me!" I screamed in the loudest voice I could manage. But my voice returned to me in echoes and I realized then that I wasn't ju

111. ROSELINE — "Ariel has to die. Now!"

There are many ways to die and this is one of it. As somebody intelligent once put it, "Dying might be easier than living, but when it comes down to it, it's often easier to just live." That intelligent person was me and I'll explain shortly. Killing Ariel wasn't my agenda, at least not right now. But making her lose the baby and maybe a leg too was definitely what I was after. Ariel was a wolf and a resilient one at that, a car accident like this wasn't enough to take her out. I turned off my engine ever so slowly and then got out of my car. Ariel's car sat against a tree in the far distance, overturned. It was a beautiful sight, really and if I had a camera, I'd have taken pictures. I strutted over to the mess and pulled open the door on her side. The windows had all gotten shattered from the impact. "Ariel. Ariel, wake up." I called letting the desperation I did not feel seep into my tone. She was bleeding from her head and from the way her left hand hung loose, I was sur

112. XAVIER — " A new suspect"

The worst was over. I looked around me. Ariel was enveloped in Roseline's arms in a too tight hug while the doctor stood a few feet away with a dreamy smile on his face. Yes, Ariel and the baby had survived this but I knew just how badly this could have turned out. "Where is Lorenzo?!" I barked and Sean who was standing beside me withdrew in shock. I could not blame him, I had not lost my temper in this way for a long time now. But I needed to understand where Ariel's bodyguard had gone when she had decided to do something so dangerous with Roseline. I had given him clear instructions never to leave Ariel's side and this was the type of news I least I expected to hear. "Xavier." I heard Ariel call but I ignored her and dashed out of the room with Sean following closely behind. He probably wanted to stop me from rashly killing Lorenzo when I found him. I did not need to look far, Lorenzo was in the clinic's waiting area pacing the room with a dreadful look on his face. "Your

113. ARIEL — " I don't like your tone"

My head throbbed. I was incredibly grateful that I was alive and so was the baby but as much as I did not want to admit it, I was scared. And my fear made me irrational. I did not want to be with people but I also did not want to be left alone. I hated that Xavier was leaving me here alone and I hated myself for having such a thought. "While I'm gone, please stay put." Xavier said. He was standing in front of the mirror combing his hair. "I don't like your tone." I snapped. Granted, the accident was partially my fault but it was unfair that he was treating me like a baby. Also, he made it sound like I lacked the ability to stay out of trouble, like I was stupid. He cast a quizzical look at me and chuckled. It was the first time I had seen something close to a smile on his face in the past weeks. I might have smiled back if I wasn't so irritated. "Why are you picking a fight?" "I'm picking a fight? You just told me to stay put like I have itchy feet." I replied. He stoppe

114. ROSELINE — " sleeping beauty"

I smirked. Tormenting Ariel was no longer a matter of fun, it was now a matter of necessity and urgency. I was running out of time and pathetically so. "Sleep for a while, sleeping beauty." I whispered and then threw a duvet over her body. I would call in a maid to clean the mess she'd made. Since Xavier was out of the palace, the only person that could thwart my plan was Ariel and I could not afford that. Now that she was going to be asleep for a few hours, I needed to move smart and fast. I found the toilet nd emptied the contents of the kettle into the bidet. Not that Ariel would ever suspect me but better safe than sorry. "The Queen just fell asleep but she made a mess in there. You should clean up." I said to the maid stationed at the door and with that, I hurried away. Back when Ariel was still unmarried and just a crown princess, she had only one maid but now, there were new faces stationed in front of her door everyday which I found disconcerting. I was still stuck wit

115. XAVIER — "my blood boiled"

I exhaled. I squeezed Juliet's charm tightly in my hand because it made me feel better, because it was the only thing that made sense right here and right now. I looked at Sean. His eyes she had watered and his mouth was still as wide open as it had been five minutes ago. In all the years we had worked together, I'd never seen him this close to tears. But it was understandable. These fallen men had been his brothers and friends. They had trained together, laughed and eaten together. He was my right hand man but he had never forgotten his roots. I hated seeing Sean this way but more than likely anything, I hated the feeling of defeat that had taken over me. Six of my guards lying on the ground before me, dead. Not one had even survived whatever senseless massacre this was, therefore no one could relate what had truly happened. "These guards found Princess Juliet's charm in the woods." I looked to my side, a bit startled. Sean had apparently gotten over his shock and was now t

116. ARIEL — "the way his silky hair fell, his face, his lips..."

I yawned. I woke up happy this morning which had become a rare occurrence in recent times. I basked in the feeling of serenity for a while longer before I opened my eyes to reality. Xavier was beside me with his arms wrapped around my waist. He was sleeping soundly and I could not bear the thought of disturbing him. He had been working so hard all week, I bet he was tired. So I lay quietly beside him and watched him just breathe. Today, I was appreciating his features more– the way his silky hair fell to his face, his nose, his lips. How did one look so good early in the morning? His eyes fluttered open and I reflexively shut my eyes. What was wrong with me? It wasn't a big deal to be caught checking out my husband. Still, I shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep but for some reason, I could feel his eyes boring holes into my body and my cheeks heated up. "I know you are not asleep, Ariel. You can stop pretending." He said softly. I hated that I'd been caught and was determin

117. ROSELINE — " death hovers 1"

I concealed a wide grin. No more was I playing it safe. From here on out, it was a full on war. "What happened?" I asked Seth while simultaneously reaching out to stop Ariel from collapsing unto the floor. Talk about a drama queen. Seth shook his head. "I'm not sure." More tears threatened to spill out of his eyes as he spoke and he cleared his throat multiple times to steady his voice. "Sean returned badly injured and bleeding. The other guard died in the cave. Sean is almost dead now and there's no way of getting him to speak." He said. Ariel pulled out of my hold and held her head with both of her hands. She felt shattered, I could tell. Not only was Juliet still missing, her husband's right hand man was dying. If only she could predict the magnitude of danger that was about to befall the royal family,she would be grateful for this moment. "The other guard... He– he was my brother." Seth choked out. Sorry, Seth but I had no choice. Maybe Sean should have chosen someone
