The Reigns - Stydia Au

Chapter 11 - A Ghost From The Past.

~Gertrude's pov~

I looked at the person, unbelievable it could be. It was Alex I saw how he was standing in the market happy talking to different people making them all laugh. Oh my Alex always making everyone laugh, except he isn't my Alex not anymore.

I smiled sadly and turned around quickly trying to avoid him at all costs. However when I blissfully walked away, I bumped into someone. "Sorry love, I didn't quite see you there." I turned and saw a guy standing there smiling at me, however the guy happened to be Alex. No it can't be! How that is physically impossible!

I quickly hid my face with my hat. "No that was my fault, I am sorry I am in a bit of a hurry and must leave now, so please do excuse me."

However, it was too late and he recognised me. "Jade?" I hurried off and wondered off into a crowd. I thought I lost him for a second, but he chased after me. "Jade?!" I turned around and saw him somewhere behind me. I wondered further into the crowd.

I ran off until I reached a random narrow alley. I hid in the alleyway, there were rats near my feet. Oh good heavens! I better not get diseases from these wretched rodents!

Alex passed my hiding spot, he look around searching to find me. I closed my eyes praying to the heavens above that he does not find me.

I opened my eyes to see if he was gone, I couldn't see him at the moment. I moved further down to hid in the darkness of the alleyway, however I moved further almost into a bin and a person.

"Hello again, Jade." I turned around and saw the last person I ever wanted to see, Jennifer. She creepily smirked at me. "Fancy seeing you here." she laughed. "Oh my apologies, I almost forgot to ask, how is your face? " She gave out a horrendous chuckle.

"Jennifer, go away!" I growled at her. "Ha! that's funny, you are funny; funny but still the same annoying girl who steals people's stuff." she glared at me.

"I might be the same 'annoying girl' but at least I don't stab my friends in the back!"

With that she grab my hair and started to punch and kick me. I elbowed her in the gut and started to kick her with my high heels. Jennifer pulled out a knife and went to stab me, but she didn't succeed because someone stopped her. I turned to look at the person but I didn't see them because I was knocked out.

I woke up on my own bed, confused at how I got here. I looked around and saw my red and white interior design. I sat up too quickly and became very dizzy. "Oh, how are you?" I heard a voice and looked up your see Lydia. "Lydia, how exactly did I get here?" I questioned her.

"We found you, passed out and decided to bring you back home and make sure you were alright." she smiled slightly at me. "You said we; who exactly found me?" "I do not know his name, but it was a man..."
"Lydia, was he wearing a grey waist coat with a black over coat?" she looked at me for a second with confusion. "Yes?"

I put my hands to my face in frustration. "That was Alex." Lydia became surprised. "Oh my God, as in Alexander, the one you were telling me about?" I nodded my head. "Alexander Florence, my old best friend and now Jennifer's husband." I hid my head under my pillow.

"Gertrude, you need to rest." Lydia smiled at me and left the room, leaving me with my thoughts.

~Alex's pov~

I looked around for Jade, where did she go? I went around the whole area looking at every corner. I got tried and decided to just go and head back home, however I heard a ruffling and a little squeal.

I followed the sound and saw Jennifer attacking Jade. Jennifer pulled out a knife and went to go and stab her. I ran out and leaped towards them.

"Jennifer!! What the hell are you doing?!" I screamed at her, she turned and looked then knocked Jade out and she feel down to the ground, before she hit the ground I ran and caught her.

"You always like her more than me, even when we were engaged you were so caught up with her that you didn't even try to love me! You never loved me! You chased after her and after all this time you still love her!" she screamed at me, I didn't look at her, I just kept my eyes on jade she didn't age a day from 20, she still looked beautiful.

"Alex, look at me!! Tell me it is not true!!" I looked at her.

"I can't deny the truth and you are the one saying it, not me." I looked back down at Jade "Why did you do this to her?" I snared at Jennifer. She didn't look at me and ignored my question. "Jennifer!!" I shouted at her. She jumped at looked at me.

"Ever since when did you start calling me Jennifer and not Jen?" She cried at me. "Ever since you harmed her!" I spat back at her. "You never loved me!!" she cried. I picked up Jade started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" I turned around for a second and told her. "Away from you!" I walked around trying to find a doctor or hospital until a girl came across me, she had red hair and green eyes. "Oh my God, is she alright?" I looked at the girl, she looked very concerned and like she knew Jade.

"Do you know her?" she nodded.
"Yes, she is my sister." "Sister?"
"Well, she is like a sister to me." I smiled at her and I told her what happened to her. "That's horrible. Can you help me get her home?"

Suddenly guy came, he had brown hair and brown eyes. "Stiles!" the girl called out to him. "Could you help me take her home?" she asked him, which he nodded in agreement to.

The boy pulled out his arms out to take Jade, I hesitated to give Jade to them, Jade looked delicate and harmed. I looked at them and they seemed to have no reason to harm her, so I gave Jade to the guy, Stiles, I think his name is.

After they took her, I decided to go home and trust them, but I couldn't stop think about everything. I had so may questions I wanted to ask her; why did she run away from me? Is there something wrong with me? Does she remember me? Does she still love me the same?

I hated myself every single day for not telling her that I loved her too.

~Lydia's pov~

I walked into the throne room because my parents summoned me. I wonder what news they have for me today. I entered the room and saw my parents resting their heads on their hands, they looked really stressed out.

"Mother? Father? Whatever is the problem?"

"Lydia, we have some bad news." My mother told me, rather annoyed.
