It's not the crime that hurts, Its the regret that stings.

Study hall,
Cian castle.
The king's laughter echoed in the study hall .
"Destiny, we lived here more than a hundred years, but that filthy creature's life span was hundred times lesser than mine. I was born to make sure that everyone's knees reach the ground in front of me, but what you said right now was completely different from what I am "
" But"
"Are you saying that I'm going to beg and kneel infront of that pathetic creature, a naive one, The weakest and the lowliest creation of that god, A mere human being."
The king's chuckled face turned into a anger one.
"And I won't let any kind of destruction around my vampire world. Not even an ant can enter my world with destruction in mind, end of discussion! . What's that name and age, tell or die "
Destiny opened her mouth without any hesitation after his friendly speach.
"Scarlett....her name Scarlett Smith and she is 10 now"
"Ten?...a kid?.... That too a human kid??..Is...Is that even make any sense to you?"
Scarlett Smith, 10 yrs old human kid, California, Human world.
It took less than a second to find her exact location.
"I'll go by myself to bring that human here, let's see what kind of destruction she can make "
The king left the study hall.
The witch sighed , "Prophecy is not a playfull word, and I know my prediction very well, I'll show you soon"
Destiny's whispers silently roamed around kings ears . He smirked and ignored.

Beauty and the beast.
My mother always loves to narrate stories to me. Beauty and the beast is her personal favourite. My parents loves me so much. They cherish me.
In a random morning, When sunshine barely kisses the ground between a sunflower garden . White curtains are dancing to the rhythm of wind, There is no darkness around me. Sunshine was tickling my eyes when my tiny hands barely stops that. I woke up to see the butterflies and warms in the sunflower garden, yes my parents were built our home in the middle of the sunflower garden.
My mother stopped me and started to feed me. She started to narrate the story again, The beauty and the beast.
My father started to tease her, " There she goes again, can't you tell a new story to my precious daughter".
"It's the best love story I have read, You don't know anything about true love , do you??" She replied in a sarcastic humour.
"What is LOVE, dad??" The most curious reaction popped out of nowhere on my face.
They both looked at each other and smiled in a different way. A lovey dovey manner.
My mom sliced a watermelon and gave me the sweetest middle part.
"Huh?... Haaaan , Do you know why your mother always gives you that sweetest part of a watermelon ??".
"Do watermelons even have sweetless parts??".
"See.. she always gives you that and never let you taste the worst part and she eats that, that is love!" .
I really don't understand anything but I just nodded like I'm all smart
He found me.
"Look dear, if someone truly loves you they'll never let you face the worst parts of life like the seeded part of a watermelon. They will cherish you and show you all the good things they witnessed and they will want you to taste the good like the sweetest part of watermelon. Its that simple princess!" He cleared the air again.
And I took a bite of the watermelon which my mom gave me and for the first time that taste of love hits my heart and brain. It gave me the deadliest taste. As my eyes widened to tolerate the Sweetness my mom gave me a gentle smile.
"And when you starts to eat the watermelons with the same love she gave, The taste will increase by hundred times" as my dad patted my head.
Curiosity hits my mind," Dad, you always says that you love my mom very much, did you gave her watermelons too??".
"My daughter is full of question marks and exclamatory marks." Both laughed at me.
Mom interrupted, " If you're that curious, I'll tell you the answers".
"Really, then tell me mom ,what did he gave you to show his love?".
Mom laughed and blushed.
"He didn't gave me any fruits or vegetables, He gave sunflower seeds.
"Daddy was no fun at all, who would even give sunflower seeds to show their love?"
"Yeah sweetheart, he handed me sunflower seeds and said, I can get you flowers but I don't want my love to die in three to four days. I own some land around near. If we plant some seeds right now, we can get sunflower theme on our wedding , Can you kindly take care of me and my sunflower garden??, Thats how he confessed".
"Whoa...... So dreamy, its just like the stories you narrated on bed. Then what did you replied, mom???"curiosity never leave my body.
My father answered to that question. " Can't you see dear, now your mom owns this land and me!"
"Your too dramatic, honey. Stop doing that. And Scarlett..... He is the one who begged me to love him back".
" No, you're the one who accepted everything" Dad teased mom again.
"What...?" Mom denied (holding a knife towards him and raised an eyebrow).
"Yes, I did that, honey".
That lover boy effortlessly surrendered to his wife.
They locked their eyes and giggled.
Dad winked at me and said. " Don't mind us, dear. This is also called love".
I giggled.
The sun starts to hide. The day was fine, until.....
