Erica's POV

Harry smiled soothingly at me and flew me up to the balcony I was thrown off from with his telekinesis. He put me down on my feet and stared at me with worry.

"You don't seem okay?" It was more of a question than a statement.

"I'm okay..." I was cut off as he quickly hugged me, I could hear his racing heart as I became numbed, suddenly the thought of Steven rang in my head.

I broke the hug and ran off to Steven's weak body, I knelt down and placed his head on my hips as I stopped the urge to cry because the left side of his face, his right hand, his left leg and were I stabbed him was decaying.

He was using breathing technique to slow the poison within him. "Steven, I'm here... please don't die on me." I begged caressing the other right side of his face which wasn't decayed.

"I'm... not... dying yet, I'm still... with... you, right?"

"Yes. Yes, you're still with me." I wheezed out as tears dropped from my eyes.

What have I done? I was finding it hard to breathe because I still didn't want to believe Steven was going to die.

"Erica." Harry called out my name in surprise.

I guess him too was taking his time to process exactly what I did to his best friend.

"Harry I'm sorry. You can kill me later because I was been deceived by Nika to do this to him..."

"If you weren't persuaded, won't you still do it?" Harry questioned with a broken vioce.

"Yes... I would have but not this way at least. It was my fault, I was blinded by justice and revenge and didn't use my head. I'm so stupid." I answered in guilt and regrets.

"Erica... don't... say that. I don't blame you. I was... cruel to... you. Every... person treated... such way... would... do same." He told me with a smile and a heavy vioce.

Even after what I did to him, he isn't against me. The tears fell from my eyes to see how much pain I caused him. I looked up at Harry.

I was expecting a death glare from him but he stared at me softly. "If I was here sooner, none of this would have taken place." Harry started blaming himself.

It shouldn't be so. I'm the start of all this.

"Idiot... don't blame... yourself." Steven insulted him with a tight smirk he's eyes giving up on him.

Harry gave him a sad and hurtful smile staring at him not knowing what to say to him.

"Erica... you're now the rightful... heir to the throne of Eternal Kingdom." He mentioned out as my heart arched with fear and shock.

"Steven what the hell are you saying?" I questioned disagreeing with his spoken words. "You're still the king of this kingdom, you're going to still sit on that throne of yours, stop saying this." I kept disagreeing.

"Who ever... slays the king... of any Kingdom... takes the throne. Harry endeavour to see her through in the steps she should take in ruling Eternal Kingdom." He kept saying things I didn't want hear.

Harry just couldn't utter a word and stared at Steven with watery eyes.

"Steven please stop."

"Erica is there any reverse technique. Just anything." Harry queried with a panicking vioce.

"I searched and searched when I was reading about the dagger few days ago and there wasn't. But still I went ahead with it. I'm soo foolish, very..." I kept wailing as Steven cut me off.
