The Darkest Angel (Sequel To The Dark Side)

A true Queen and a Legend

It was still raining. I was walking through the kingdom while holding Jen's head in my hand. The rain and the blood was dripping from my clothes and from Jen's head. I didn't look at the people but they were looking at me with fear. They had their rights to be afraid since I just tortured and killed my sister. I was tired, weak but happy. A little smile was seen on my face for a while until I got to the main square of the kingdom. I stood in front the statue.

"WE ARE FREE!" I started shouting and raised Jen's head in the air. "JENNIFER IS DEAD! I'M THE NEW QUEEN!" I saw fear on their faces. "Do not worry, tomorrow I will show you how different I am from my family." I said.

- the next day -

I had a black and red dress on me and my hair was in a bun but two locks of hair was out. I had make up on my which was only eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick and mascara. I was in my black high heels that I rarely wore but today was special. This was the day when the crown will be on my head. I would lie if I said I was not scared. People were in front of the castle waiting for me to say what I have to. The maids helped me to get ready since they knew I am harmless.

"Are you ready Ms. Leyva?" Felicia asked.

"Just call me Melanie." I said.

I was walking to the balcony with confidence and fear. The people were loud outside. I stopped at the railing and looked at them. They were finally free from that dark hole.

"DEAR PEOPLE OF THE LEYVA KINGDOM!" I shouted. Everyone had their attention on me now. "I know that my family couldn't get any worse, I know what they had done, I know they kidnapped and tortured innocent people from your families, I know they just made the taxes higher and higher every month, I know they made so many laws that soon it would illegal to exist. I want to show you that I'm better than them. I know I am not human but a demon indeed. I know you hate me and afraid of me but you don't have to, I'm not going to hurt you, in fact I'm going to help you, free you! I was never the sweet daughter of the Leyva family, they hated me, hit me, kicked me, starved me, molested me and when my parents died and after Jen became the queen she put me behind bars and tortured me evey day. Those days were unforgettable and they still are. She tortured me in every way possible but then I managed to escape by a very good friend of mine who is resting in heaven now. I escaped and trained for weeks for that fight that you must have seen. And why did I do that? To free my friends and the people of the town. And if you don't believe me, I'm going to show you that will make you happy." I finished my speech for the crowd. "Francesca, bring the papers out, please."

Francesca brought a table full of many pointless but harmful papers. The laws.

"Do you see these?" I yelled and showed them a few papers. "These caused the problem that we have and where we are! The children can't even study well, the parents are overworking themselves just to have enough money to eat, the grandparents are wishing this would end! I do not want our children to be born in a place and time like this! We had enough of this shit! It's time to end it." I said and it looked like the people were with me.

I put both of my hands on the papers and started to tear them from the top 'til it reached the bottom. The crowd cheered up. I could see the happiness in them.

"We need freedom! We don't need these stupid rules! I want the children to study well and about important things not unnecessary things! I want the adults to have good jobs and take care of their children in peace or having a house which is a best home for their family! I want the grandparents to live their last years in peace!" I lighted a match. "I want... Happiness."

I put the match on the papers and threw it down the balcony. The fire wasn't big so it was safe if someone's hand was in the way. We didn't need laws about how to take care of your children like how to dress them up or make them hair, how to decorate your house, how to take care of a garden. I remember walking down the streets and it always reminded me of the color grey since all the houses looked grey, the plants were dead and nobody wanted to go to school nor to work, people were feeling depressed and ridden, some of them were really skinny because the food prices were so high that they were glad cheap food still existed. Wishu was one victim of this since she didn't really have a house to live in with her family. The water was awful and there were times when the lights just turned off for no reason and stayed there for hours, sometimes days. How do I know all of this? One time I was at Wishu's apartment and it looked really bad: the wallpaper barely stayed on the wall, must was seen at every corner and not to mention the bugs. The kitchen had two counters, an oven with a stove, a little fridge and one sink. Even these wanted to escape that hell. The cleaning sets were one of most expensive things in the stores. All they had in the fridge was a bottle of water, milk, one piece of meat and bread. Sometimes they had potatoes and a few other things but that was like once a month. Wishu's room was one of the worst things to see: her bed nothing but two blankets on the floor with a pillow and blanket which she covered herself with when she went to sleep, she had a broken desk which could have been destroyed by any second. Her clothes were in a trash bag and luckily that was clean. Her parents had a dirty-ish mattress with a dresser which was still in a good shape. Their bathroom was a disaster: they had a shower but the tiles were broken, sticky and which was white it became almost dark green and you must wore slippers so you won't get sick. I slept over at their place on that night. The next day I brough them medicine, thicker blankets, clothes, food and clean water.
Anti-Jack had a normal childhood. He had a normal house with a normal room but one thing wasn't okay with him: his parents didn't really love him. He wasn't a planned child and his father sometimes beat him. He decided to move out with Wishu but the problem was that the time they wantes to move was the time when Jen's people kidnapped them.
Dark had a normal demon life with her demon parents but when he was about 12 years old his parents died because of the Leyvas but he wasn't mad at me since he knew I wouldn't do that, only my parents. He had to rule the kingdom by himself as a 12 year old, it was hard for him but he knew I was there.
I can remember all the pain, sadness and torture that we have gone through but now as I look at the cheering crowd who is crying because of happiness was great. We were free. All the useless laws were gone now forever.
