So the first part was meant to be a oneshot only. I was going to stop at the cliffy, but then you guys thought I was continuing it? Might as well end it. I dont want you to suffer with a cliffy. Part 2:
He could feel her beginning to take over. It felt so strange. But he knew she had a plan, and when Cinder had a plan, it was always a good one. Kai wasn't controlling his body anymore. In fact, he felt nothing at all. He could only watch as Cinder did the work.
"We areed to let you marry his majesty" Cinder deadpanned. Levana, on the other hand, gaped at her niece. Of course she wouldn't believe it, not after she saw the whole scene at the ball.
"You have?"
________________________
Cinder put all the effort she could into getting Kai to speak. "Yeah. Turns out this emperor was totally useless to the plan" She tried to look disguisted and she feigned Kai hurt. Was Levana buying it?
This was totally not how she imagined confronting her aunt. Levana never stopped staring at her.
Besides the throne Kai was sitting in, Aimery smirked. Thorne stood next to him...probably glamoured by Aimery. He looked so still...so hollow, so empty.
Levana still looked suspicious. Under Cinder's control, Kai spoke. "Levana. I'm so sorry I-"
All of a sudden, he stopped. Cinder tried again on getting him to talk but it seemed as though she wasn't the only one using glamour on him. Great.
She tried her beat straight face and continued glamouring Kai. Whoever it was that was controlling him against her, was certainly strong. Very strong, Cinder was beginning to feel exhausted in keeping Kai awake.
Levana's eyes flared as she stood up from her throne. "That's enough, Selene" She practically said through gritted teeth. "I'm not going to fall for your amature tricks"
Cinder stiffened and released. It was no use anyway. Levana knew that she wouldn't let the emperor go that easy.
In the background, Thorne began to struggle and whine.

He felt his bones break little by little. He saw the blood leave from his body. He felt empty.
Thorne breathed heavily as he took the sight in. There were broken bones on the floor, blood was gushing out if his nose, his eyes went black. Cinder was begging Levana for something. No...it was all fake.
He gasped as the illusions left. No blood, no bones, everything was fine. Cinder wasn't begging, she wasn't pleading either. She just stared at Levana as if they were comunicating through their minds.
He did hear another gasp come from the man besides him. After that gunshot was heard, the thaumaturge fell to the ground. A red-head held the gun and sighed. A beautiful girl, with thick black curls hurried behind her, along with that-guard.
Wolf hurried behind all of them. He was the one who had called for them. The princess, the guard, the pilot. He hugged Scarlet for some time before Levana spoke.
"Winter, go to your rooms! This has nothing to do with you"
Winter did not say anything as she walked up to Cinder, gaping. She cupped her face with a hand and hugged her tightly. Cinder flinched but hugged her back anyway.
"Enough" Levana let out a long breath. "Sir Clay, get the princess back to her rooms"
Jacin raised his head and cast a glance at Winter and Cinder. "No". Then he fell on the ground, struggling against Levana's glamour. Another thaumaturge came in and brung a knife.
Levana kept her serious face as she waved for the thaumaturge to continue. "I do believe you know how these trials work, Sir Clay. We do not need to wait for a bigger audience. I doubt anyone would miss you anyway. I will not glamour you because I'm pretty sure you swore an oath to the crown. And it is your responsibilty to agree."
"Stepmother?" Winter gasped, letting go of her dear friend.
Jacin took the knife from the thaumaturge and brung it up to his neck. His hand stopped moving and he rose an eyebrow. He did not have control anymore. Cinder stared at him, slowly shaking her head. Oh great. She had another plan in mind.
Hey guys, I'm sorry. I have no idea where to go from here. Guess we have to wait till November, huh. Anyways, please please give me so requests and remember to vote ^-^ Oh and again, read the Winter excerpt if the last pat didn't quite make sense to you.
