The morning glow poured into our chambers as the sunrises, Ronin and I laid bare under our sheets. I awoke and looked over at him, he was sleeping peacefully. I watched his chest rise and fall as he breathed. I am so in love with him.
As if he knew I was watching him, he woke up and smiled at me. "Are you watching me sleep again?" he asked, he brought his hand to my pregnant stomach and gently rubbed it. "I am" I admit with a giggle. He slides his hand up my body and caresses my face "I love you" he whispers then kisses me. "I love you" I mumble in between kisses. He scoots closer to me and deepens the kiss. His kisses leave my lips and he kisses my collarbone. I bite my lip and watch as his kisses down my body. He kisses my breasts, stomach and thighs. He gently spreads my legs apart and kisses my inner thighs. "What a good morning for me" he says with a chuckle. Before I can reply I let out a loud moan as he started to-
_________________________________
I snapped out of my trance as Ronins body laid on the ground, dead. I tried to stay in my mind of my memories with Ronin, instead of watching my husbands dead body. Kenna just killed Ronin. I must stay strong, I know if I keep a level head I can figure out a way to get him back. I can't look at him, it makes me sick. I feel a lump in my throat as tears start to form in the corner of my eyes. Be strong Faith, I keep telling myself.
Kenna walked over to the food and drink tables and took a long drink of wine. I hear my mother whispering in front of me but I can't understand what she is saying. A few seconds later she turns to all of us "I have removed the spell" she whispers to us all, she glances over at Kenna still drinking. "Act like you are still frozen" she orders us.
Willa falls to the ground sobbing "I can't fake it, Andrews is dead!" she cries out. Kenna looks over and starts laughing "Oh you think you are smart for removing the spell?" she walks back over to us. "Fine with me, it's more fun when they run anyway". Willa lays on the ground still crying, Kenna walks over and stands in front of her. Blaze looks over at his best friends dead bodies and cries.
I look at Andrews body and quickly point at it, causing the flames to go out. I'm hopeful I can bring him and Ronin back. Kenna grabs Willas chin and makes her look up at her. "Don't touch her! She is with child!" Lottie hollers. Kenna smirks "Then I guess her baby will die too" she says with a laugh. "Yet that will be too easy for you Queen Willa. I have to live with the death of my father, you will have to live with the death of your husband. Your child can grow up without a father now" She says, I can tell she is trying not to cry. Before Willa can reply Kenna slaps her across the face.
Willa places her hand on her cheek and cries "Just kill me please!" she sobs "I can't live without Andrews". Kenna stands straight and glares at her "Death is too easy". Kenna walks back to the center of the ballroom. "What are you wanting?" Raven asks watching Kenna carefully. Kenna chuckles "Revenge" she says. "Please Kenna don't do this!" I plead to her.
Kenna raises her other hand, AJ and Arad float in the air too. "Say your goodbyes" she announces. She chants a spell and both of their necks snap. They both fall to the ground, dead. Evelyn and Ella scream and start to sob. I look at Ronin and start to cry. I'm trying so hard to be strong but I can't.
Raven walks towards Kenna "You have done enough!" she hollers. Kenna turns and looks at her "And you haven't?" she snaps. Raven stops and looks at her "What have I done?" she asks. "You placed the order to kill my father!" Kenna yells. Raven places a hand on her chest and tears up "I-I would never" she stammers out.
"It's true, The Queen did not!" Lottie confirms. Kennas eyes darken "LIAR!" she screams. She points a finger at Raven and chants a spell. "NO" Blaze yells running towards her, before he can reach her Raven falls to the ground. Blood drains from her ears, she lays on the ground dead. "NO NO NO" I scream and run over to her "Mother please!" I sob and turn her body over, her long black hair gets wet from her blood. I know I can bring them back but I need my mothers help to do it. Now all my plans are ruined.
"MOMMA" Blaze sobs and goes to her body. Lottie falls to the ground sobbing "This can't be real" she screams. Willa still lays on the ground crying with Ella. Evelyn ran to mother and sobbed "No please" she cried out.
"I have one more to kill" Kenna announces. "You've done enough!" Lottie screams at her. "Tsk tsk, you should have shut your mouth" Kenna says laughing. She raises her hand and Blaze falls back screaming in pain. "STOP IT" I scream. Kenna throws Blaze across the ballroom, he hits a pillar and falls to the ground. "Don't bother checking on him, he is dead" she says dusting her hands off. Lottie screams and runs to him "Please no no no" she yells.
Kenna laughs "That is all" she curtsies. "You won't get away with this" I spit out at her. She laughs and an orange cloud appears. Once it goes away she is gone. "What the fuck!" I yell. "What do we do?" Willa asks, finally calming down. "I don't know" I cry out. Lottie lays her head on Blaze chest and cries.
"How can this be?" Evelyn cries out. Ella stands up and walks over to me "Faith" she whispers, looking at me concerned. "What?" I ask looking at her. "You are now the queen" she pauses for a moment and reads my face "What do we do?". I gulp and look around the room. My heart hurts, I just lost everyone I loved, but Ella is right. I am now the queen and I need to make the decisions. "We bring them back" I tell her.
"What do you mean?" Willa asks walking over to us. "I know there is a spell to bring them back, I just need to find it. It will require me going to the spiritual realm, I will need another witches energy" I say. "Use mine" Evelyn tells us.
The doors to the ballroom open and guards run in "We weren't able to get in" they tell me. "I know, pick up the dead bodies and go to the witches cave" I order them. They rush down the steps and gasps, seeing so many royals dead. "I know" I tell them. Lottie runs over and grabs my hand "You can do this Faith" she assures me. Willa nods and rubs her stomach "Please Faith" she tears up. "Evelyn get my spell book and meet us at the cave" I tell her. She nods and runs out of the ballroom.
We all walk into the witches cave as the guards set their bodies in the shallow pond in the middle of the cave. Evelyn hands me the spell book and I look through it. "Come on where is it" I mumbled. I scan the pages and finally find "There!" I exclaim. Willa claps "Oh please work" she pleads. Lottie grabs Willa and Evelyns hand "You got this Faith" they all tell me.
I nod then step into the pool of water. "Ok, once I start saying the spell send me energy Eve, ok?" I ask looking at her. She nods "Got it" she says nervously. I close my eyes and start to chant the spell. I start to feel the energy from Eve then I get taken into the spiritual realm. It's dark and has random glowing lights everywhere.
"Hello?" I call out, my voice echos. "Faith!" A voice says behind me, I turn and see AJ and Arad. "What are you doing here?" AJ asks. "Are you dead too?" Arad asks. "No I'm not dead, I'm here to bring everyone back" I tell them and hold out my hand. "Take it and you will come back" I say. They both grab my hand, A flash of light appears and they are gone.
A clock sound echos throughout loudly "I only have a limited amount of time" I say realizing it. "Andrews!" I scream running around. "Blaze, Ronin and Mother!" I holler. "Faith!" Andrews says running towards me. "I can't talk, take my hand" I tell him holding my hand out. He grabs it then disappears.
The sound of a clock ticking gets louder as I continue to run and search for the rest. "Blaze" I scream seeing him. He turns and runs to me "Take my hand!" I holler. He grabs it then disappears.
"Mother! Ronin!" I scream continuing to search. "My love!" Ronin screams running to me. "Ronin!" I cry seeing him. "I'm bringing you back" I tell him. He smiles "I knew you would". "Have you seen my mother?" I ask. He nods "Earlier, yes. She was holding a baby and looked happy, I haven't seen her since" he tells me. "Ok, I will look for her" I say. The sound of the clock ticks loudly. I hold out my hand and Ronin takes it, a few seconds later he disappears.
I continue to run around looking for mother "Mom!" I scream. The sound of the clock starts to tick louder and louder. "Faith get out, you're running out of time" I hear Evelyn scream. "MOM!" I scream. I can't find her and I start to panic. The clock stops and when I open my eyes I'm back in the cave, standing in the water.
"Faith!" Ronin exclaims running me. I look around at everyone. AJ and Evelyn are hugging, Ella and Arad are holding hands. Willa and Andrews are kissing. Blaze is holding Lottie as she cries into his chest. "Faith" Blaze says looking at me. "Where is mom?" he asks. Everyone stops what they are doing and looks at me.
"She is gone, I can't find her." I tell them as tears roll down my cheeks.
The Dark Queen is dead, and I can't bring her back.
