Unknown Requiem

011

A week had passed since the sudden attack on Empress Lucia and her son, Prince Castiel. And the paparazzi was at a frenzy. Everyone wanted to know, what had happened to their endearing Queen. And most of all would she recover? And that was something even C2 wasn't too sure of. Even with C2's treatments things appeared to only get worst and worst. As the treatments continued Lucia's temperature severely began to rise and she found herself hallucinating. Which could prove to be very,very dangerous. Because even C2 knew that Lucia's hallucinations could prove deadly not just for her,but for all of them. Yet C2 continued to watch over her dear friend. Hoping and praying that her dear friend would be strong enough to break this fever. But as C2 was tending to Lucia's wound,she noticed the scar had seemed to increase in length and began to take the form of an upside down geass symbol.

Which of course startled C2. There was only one group that used the Geass symbol in such a way. They was a crazy religious group that C2 knew all too well of. "The Order". They had set this whole thing up,the attack and this would. What kind of weapon had they created that could harm a semi immortal being? Could it kill Lucia? And could it even possibly kill C2? C2 quietly prayed to whatever being dared to answer a witches prayer. Hoping with all her heart that misfortune would not continue on those who had become dear to her.

Yet at the moment it appeared that her prayer fell on deaf ears. For Empress Lucia began to toss and turn in her sleep. Beads of sweat covered her forhead as it appeared she was struggling to speak. C2 leaned in closer to hear her dear friend's words,but only heard a single name. "L-Lelouch." The way Lucia spoke his name,filled with so much love and pain sadder C2 greatly but she could only hope that time would heal Lucia's broken heart. But could time really heal a heart as broken as Lucia's?

Lucia gripped onto the sheets tightly as C2 pressed her forhead against Lucia's. Hoping to ease her pain,but what she received instead was something she was not ready for. She saw it all. Lucia's worst nightmares in replay. Over and over in her head like an infinite loop. It was utter torture. In the nightmare C2 could visibly see Lucia who was in the arms of none other than Lelouch. Who held her so tenderly to his chest with a gentle smile it was no wonder Lucia had fallen for him.

Slowly Lelouch beckoned Lucia to look into his eyes. And obidently she did to meet the smoldering gaze of her love. It was then that Lelouch slipped a ring on Lucia's finger causing her to truly smile before telling him she loved him. But as Lelouch opened his mouth to speak he gasped in pain,as blood began to pour from his mouth. Lucia screamed loudly in fear,taking a few steps away as a familar blade protruded through his chest. Lelouch smiled weakly towards Lucia before mouthing the words "I love you-"As the blade was ripped from his insides.

Tears cascaded down Lucia's cheeks as she slowly walked over to her blood covered lover. His breathing ever so shallow as he struggled to remain in this world for her. With tears in her eyes Lucia turned towards the attacker,anger flickering in her eyes as she cried"Why Suzaku?! Why?!" Yet as she screamed who she believed was the attacker,the person who stepped out of the shadows,with the blood dripping blade in hand was Castiel. Lucia's son,her pride and joy. It was indeed her worst nightmare. Castiel casually peered towards his father's weakening form before stating "He is no father of mine-"before aiming the blood coveted blade at his dear mother Lucia who struggled to catch her breathe.

"And you are no longer my mother."Castiel spat before raising the blade over his head seeking to end his mother's life. With tears rolling down her cheeks Lucia refused to fight her son as she felt the sharpness of the blade dig into her chest near her heart. Lucia coughed up quite abit of blood before falling beside the already deceased Lelouch who's left hand was outstretched for Lucia's almost as if he was begging to hold her even in the after life.

Weakly Lucia stretched her hand for Lelouch's cold one,before staring up towards her son. And surpsingly she smiled towards her son with tears in her eyes. "I love you,Castiel. "As soon as those words left her lips Castiel dug the blade deeper into her chest until a sickening crack could be heard. Lucia's body shuddered one final time until the life finally faded from her eyes. As C2 watched the horrific sight she couldn't help but to shed tears for her dear friend. This was her fear,her deepest darkest fear. For her son to hate her,disrespect the memory of his father and overall killing her.

C2 shook her head before pulling away from Lucia. She couldn't take it. C2 quickly left the room with doubts in her mind. Was Castiel capable of killing his mother? And most of all would he? These questions haunted C2 to no end as she quietly crept into Castiel's room to see a few of the servants tending to his sleeping form. It appeared he was in a similar state as his mother. And for a moment C2 wondered what he was dreaming of.

Was he having a nightmare like his mother? Or was it something else?
