Soulmate [UNEDITED]

betrayed

That was the last words Tara remembered as she saw two arrows from the window shoot and go from this side to the other side of the king and Queen's head. Their lifeless bodies fell to to ground. Due to shock, all Tara could remember was blurred out shoutings. But she listened to the crucial part, the part where the shooter was caught, the part where he said Harshat ordered him to do this, the part where she saw the symbol of Harshat's kingdom on the arrow.

............................................................

Rage, sorrow and vengeance filled her blood, her eyes went numb, her mind went numb, she wished it to be a dreadful nightmare, a nightmare from which she can wake up and find her parents as healthy as before last 5 minutes. She looked at the bodies one more time, that's when it sank in, this is not a dream, its the truth, her parents are dead. Those who brought her up as their own daughter, loved as their own child are gone.

Her mind was clogged, only few words were going around her mind, parents death, assassin, Harshat. Without wasting any time, she ran out of the room. Some tried to call her, make her stop, make her calm down, but nothing worked. She did so much just to keep every member of her family happy, to compensate the sins her biological parents did, but all went in vain? The one who gave her body a soul was killed by the one she loved? After the conversation with her parents, she decided that she didn't wanted to be mates for life with him, but be each other's soulmate but now what? All those feelings are useless now. Only one thing mattered to her, revenge.

She took the horse from the stable in hurry and went off towards the route to where the killer of her soul lived, the one who most probably wanted to use her sister to kill their parents in the name of love. Her horse was galloping through the road, as if a gust of wind went by. The rage inside her boiled, boiled out so much that warm water from redshot eyes started to flow in the form of tears, but these tears were never her weakness, but the proof that even in disadvantages she will never be weak. Come at her with your best attack, and you will find her standing strong on her ground.

As she reached the doors of the palace, she didn't care about the gaurds being shocked on how someone from inner palace went outside, on asking, she even gave her real identity without any care, as told before, nothing mattered to her right now, only revenge did. She speed walked through the corridors still replying the dreadful scene in her head.

When she almost reaches Harshat's room, she grabbed one of the swords that was put on display. She didn't cared to knock and barged in.

"Arghhhhh" she screamed as she swinged her sword at him. Harshat was reading a book at that time, backfacing the door, but thanks to his quick reflex, he dodged her attack "Tara?!" She swinged another sloppy shot "What are you doing?!" He ducked this time. She was panting heavily, partially due the double journey and partially due to anger "why did you kill them?!" Her voice screeched, as if it was not her voice, her voice became unrecognizable "kill who?!!" Harshat got so confused as he tried to dodge her another attack.

Though in confusion, he understood that some misunderstanding is going on right now, they need to talk after she calms down. He held her into a headlock from behind and used his free hand to take away the sword from her hand, took the sword's metal part and slightly hit her behind the neck, he gave a slight hit knowing that she will faint eventually from exhaustion, which was written all over her face, and she did.

He threw away the sword in a corner of his room and scooped up her limp body in his arms " I don't know what you're talking about Tara, I thought everything will solve after this, but its just getting worse" He walked up to his bed and laid her down gently "surely there is some misunderstanding which is why you reacted like this, but I will not give up on now, not now after knowing I love you so much to the point I will give up on the throne if I have to"

"Let's talk when you wake up" He took a satin long cloth and tied both of her hands with the poles of the bed on each side. She will be hasty even after waking up, this is to prevent any harm she may do after she wakes up.

He gave her a forehead kiss and went away to investigate this matter after ordering the grand queen and servants to change her clothes and take care of her.
