Alina Tales

CHAPTER SIX

Alina wore a deep blue gown which matched the colour of her eyes, dark stains were seen around her eyelids and below the eye,her gown brushed the floor as she walked through the hallway,holding in her hands a bouquet of flowers,as she got closer to the royal court. The door opened mysteriously by itself and she walked in.

She walked and could feel something strange in the royal court,looking ahead she saw her father sitting on his throne.

She saw that he wasn't happy and beside him was the queen who sat there smiling wickedly,beside her stood two men. One looked older than the other but Alina at that moment didn't care as she realised she couldn't get closer to them.

She just kept on walking and she never seemed to get closer.

She blinked then saw her self in a different place,she was confused at to what was going on as she saw herself on a road which she had guessed led to the palace.

She looked around and gulped at the sight around her,there were rubbles everywhere,the road seemed deserted as she walked on the black, dirty road. She saw nothing but the remains of what seemed to be caused by fire.

She blinked again this time seeing herself in the palace, the sight of what she saw made her heart beat fast.

She was looking at what seems to be her home in ruins,dead bodies could be seen lying everywhere.

She was crestfallen on seeing everything she had once loved destroyed. She had no idea what had happened and then a thought came to her.

'Father....I hope he's okay'

She thought and then walked faster still being cautious as she had no idea of what or who had caused this disaster.

She walked swiftly up the spiral staircase through the hallway, hoping that her father was okay.

'Maybe he's safe and I'm just being a worrywart ' she thought encouraging herself as she walked on with little hope,she walked on through the hallway heading to where she thought her father would be.

The royal court .

She yanked open the door and walked in hastily, she looked ahead and could see her father sitting elegantly on his throne as always beckoning to her to come closer.

Alina sighed on seeing that her father was hale and hearty.

She felt relieved and walked on towards where her father was as she got closer,the atmosphere changed and looking up ahead to where her father was she saw no one.

He had disappeared and sitting on his throne was Mira.

Looking ahead Alina realized that Mira could not see her, walking closer she could see how happy Mira was sitting elegantly on the throne.

The door yanked open ,Alina turned around to see who it was and in walked Duran grinning.

His two hands were at his back,Alina could feel something was wrong but wasn't sure exactly what.

"Amiraline" Duran said grinning wildly.

"Duran" she replied

"What brings you here?" She asked

Duran smiled.

" I didn't send for you " she continued

"You don't need to summon me here before I come visiting my cousin" he said smiling

"Besides I am here to take what's rightfully mine and before that I will like to give you a gift" he said with a grin as he moved closer to Mira.

Alina who just stood watching what was going on at that moment had already guessed what was going on.
