Restless

It was almost dusk. Everyone began dispersing one after the other, leaving Dante to deal with his pains. King Edwardo found his Queen leaning on the rail on the balcony with a drink in her hand. He walked quietly to her and wrapped his arms around her, startling her. “Your Highness,” She chuckled. “You startled me.”He rested his head on her shoulders and stared at the starless sky. “No stars tonight,” he mumbled. “It’s still too early, your highness. You don’t expect to see stars at this time,” Adora told him. He mumbled something inaudible in response. “If you are not staring at the stars, what else are you looking at then?” The King asked and the initial smile on her face was instantly replaced with sorrow. The king was surprised by the mood switch. He followed her eyes and they landed on a figure, curled on the floor. “Dante?” Edwardo frowned deeply. Adora nodded with a sad smile. “I assure you that he deserves whatever punishment he got this time. I always assu

Apology

At first, Almira wanted to ignore it and go on with what she wanted to do but the knocking turned into banging and soon, they were screaming the prince’s name from outside the door. She glared at the door, humming a dark tune and soon, the bangind died down. She returned her attention to the unconscious man. Her eyes roamed his bare chest, calculating how to run the knife through it without causing any damage to his heart. The sword was not a brilliant choice either. “Princess!!” She heard Kitanna’s voice from outside. Almira groaned inwardly. “Princess you need to stop, the news is everywhere. Soon they’ll flood here with all kinds of mystic creatures and you won’t be able to escape. You have to listen to me please,” She pleaded.Almira dropped the sword and buttoned up his shirt, before pulling the duvet over him. She unlocked the door, to reveal the panicking girl. Before she could utter a word, Almira grabbed her and dragged her in the opposite direction.Pushing open a rand

Love

Negative energy. Almira couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. At first, she assumed it was Jephthah, but Kitanna felt the pull too. "Your Highness, I think there is trouble. I have this uneasy feeling that all is not well. I think something is wrong," Kitanna told her. Almira dropped the cup, "I feel it too, but I don't know what to make of it. If it turns out that this is coming from home, we have to return as soon as possible." "Yes," Kitanna agreed, but when Almira's expression shifted, she realized that was not the answer the princess was expecting. "You look disturbed". "I am," Almira confirmed without holding back. "What seems to be the problem? We do have to return if our people need us. You know we left on short notice," Kitanna pointed. "You are right. We do have to go back, but what about Dante?" Kitanna stared in confusion. What did Dante have to do with their return to the sea? "I can't leave him after I just promised to

comfy

Kitanna waited anxiously for the Princess’ opinion. Almira stared back at her before snapping her fingers in the girl’s face. Kitanna blinked. “Why are you staring like a moron? What did you want to tell me?” Almira asked and Kitanna blinked again, in confusion then shock. It was all an imagination? When she met Almira’s piercing gaze once again, she cleared her throat. awkwardly.“It’s nothing important,” she dismissed. “I will take care of Dante as agreed,” she added. Almira returned to her drink while Kitanna stared thoughtfully at her. She wondered how Almira would react if she really confessed her feelings for Dante.Better to let it be. Not like the princess would contribute anything positive to her feelings. It was better to confess directly to Dante. She would have enough time with him anyway. Dante didn’t seem like a difficult person to impress. Kitanna got carried away by the thoughts and didn’t notice Almira’s gaze. “What exactly are you thinking about? You’re smiling li

Miss you

Xander opened his eyes slowly. His vision was blurry at first then slowly clear to reveal the white walls of his bedroom. There were about three unfamiliar faces in the room with him. He wanted to jerk up but his body refused to respond.You’re awake!” His body calmed on hearing the familiar voice. Kimorra was at his bedside in less than a second.“I’m so glad that you are awake. We were so worried about you,” she said. Xander stared at her in confusion.“What happened?” Xander croaked. His throat hurt from dryness. Before Kimorra could answer, the doctors asked her to step aside. Xander watched with confusion as they examined him. “What happened?” he asked again.His hazy mind couldn’t provide details of what happened to him or why the doctors were hovering around him and asking stupid questions.“You were stung by poisonous spiders, your highness. It’s a miracle that you are alive,” one of the doctors finally replied. The fog in his mind cleared and he remembered screaming as the l

Confession

“So what’s your favorite thing to do when you’re not running errands?” Kitanna asked Dante. Currently, he was seated on the floor in between her legs as she combed his hair.“Uhmm.. first of all, I don’t have any free time. I spend my day running dozens of errands and when I get a break, which is mostly a minute or two, I use it to catch my breath,” he answered and she chuckled. “You can’t be serious, Dante.”“It’s not a joke. I walk round the clock. You only think I'm free because the princess showed up and everything changed. I’m usually not allowed to do anything other than run errands. A few years ago, the library used to be my sanctuary. Xander was busy with school then so he didn’t have the time to make things difficult for me and my… the king was still in the early stages of his business, so no one had time for me,” Dante told her. “I’m sorry you had to go through all that. It;’s really sad to hear that. I’m glad the princess and I found time to keep you company,” Kitanna sai

Ramona

Dante managed to get away from kitanna and took the time to think about what she had just told him. She was in love with him? Was that even possible? He took a good look at his body and shook his head. She had to be mistaken.Maybe he heard wrong, or she was just trying to play a prank on him. Kitanna was too pretty to fall for him. She was nice to him and all but that didn’t necessarily justify her feelings for him. Maybe she was mistaking her fondness for him for love.He thought of many other explanations for Kitanna’s confession, but in the end, he knew he couldn’t change her feelings. He should be happy someone actually liked him beyond his looks but he wasn’t. It felt so wrong and he had no idea why.It wasn’t about him feeling unworthy or anything. It just felt wrong. “Dante? Are you here?” He heard her voice and pushed himself further beneath the stairs. She walked past him, ascending the stairs while calling out for him. Dante felt guilty but he knew he had to avoid her for

Little mate

Things went from bad to worse in the following days. Ramona became more difficult to handle. She would step over anyone she came across simply because she was a royal and even went as far as declaring herself Queen. For the first time in history, the sirens appreciated the curse. Had the throne been that easy to ascend, no doubt, Ramona would have done that even before Almira sensed her. Ramona took pleasure in frustrating everyone around her. She wanted everyone including Almira to cower before her. Almira was sick of the games. It was barely three days since she returned and the woman had drained her. All she wanted to do was go back to land and spend time with the only human she could stand. She misses him much. Despite that, she couldn't return, not until Ramona returned to whatever hole she crawled out from. "Hello, dearest niece," Ramona's sing-song voice interrupted her thoughts. Aura groaned inwardly. "What happened? You don't look too happy to see me," Ramona chuckle

Engagement plans

Memories. Pain. Misery.Slow dark melody.The first time Dante was conscious during the takeover. As the tune spread in his mind, it stirred several memories that were best forgotten. His heart faced as the memories flashed, his screams echoing in his head. The pleadings. The agony. The tears. His hands clutched to his head as he let out a small whimper. Beads of sweat broke out of his forehead as his eyes shut tightly.'Father, please don't let them take me…''I didn't do anything…''No…no please…'His miserable pleas switched to several voices at once.'It's the cursed child!''Get this animal away from him!''Beat him until he begs for death!''Let's set the monster ablaze and free ourselves from his sight!'Dante didn't realize he had stepped out of the barn. The memories wouldn't stop flooding in and his feet were moving on their own accord. He had no idea where he was going and no one bothered to stop him. They just stood aside, aware that his insanity had kicked in. The onl

Caught

Kitanna couldn't find Dante anywhere. No matter where she checked and how many times she called out, she got no response from him. She rested the worst. if anything happened to Dante then the princess would definitely deal with her. After searching fruitlessly for him, she inquired from the guards around. He left the palace. Panic cursed through her pains as she ran out of the palace, searching for him. No one was interested in helping her the minute they discovered who she was looking for. "Dante?" She called for the umpteenth time but there was no answer. "Please answer me. Where are you?" Again, no response. The worse was that she couldn't even track his scent. It seemed like he vanished into thin air. Kitanna continued her search until she came upon a sympathetic man."I couldn't help but notice you running around, dear. Permit me to ask what you are searching for?" He asked politely."Dante. I can't seem to find him anywhere," she said, then realized the man probably didn
