Fairytale | MALUM

22

"Calum, are you sure you want to do this?" Ashton asked his friend quietly as he watched the tan boy put all of his weapons on the gold table in front of them in the castle.

"This is a horrible idea, Calum." Sleepy informed before yawning and rubbing his eyes with the balls of his fists.

"I don't care, she wants to talk, we can talk." Calum snapped at his friends. When all of his weapons on the table, he glanced at them once before leaving without saying another word.

☹☹☹

Calum took a deep breath as he walked into the horse stable, he didn't know why he was so nervous to go inside. Probably because it was his fault that his step mother's actual true love was killed and he was killed in the stable.

Memories come into his mind of how him and the Queen first met. He was a little boy and he was riding one of the horses from the stable, the horse went out of control and the Queen saved him, before she married his now dead father and became evil.

The Queen didn't say a word when he walked in, she motioned him to follow her out of the stable. She walked up a hill and held onto his long coat as the strong wind blew.

Calum's heart broke when he saw why she lead him to the top of the hill, it was the Queen's one love's grave. He crossed his arms over his stomach and looked at her in guilt.

"You're the reason why he's dead." The Queen said, keeping her eyes on Daniel's tombstone with teary eyes. "You told my mother about us when you promised me that you wouldn't and she ripped his heart out because of you."

"I'm sorry, I was trying to help you. You know that." Calum said, glancing at the tombstone and then at the Queen.

Suddenly, she took something out of her coat. It was a red apple. She held it up in front of the both of them. "Did you know that apples stand for health and wisdom?"

"Why do I feel like you're going to kill me?" Calum asked with no expression on his face, he knew this day would come. He knew what that apple could do. "You're going to force me to eat it, aren't you?"

"The choice is yours, it's taken willingly." The Queen replied, smiling softly at the boy next to her, knowing what he was going to do.

Calum knew if he didn't eat the apple, Michael would die. So, he knew what he had to do.

The tan boy slowly took the apple from her with tears already falling down his face. He looked at her one last time before taking a bite into it. Suddenly, his eyes closed as he fell to the ground.

Michael had an awful pain in his chest, his eyes widen when realizing that the apple was eaten by Calum.
