Jidenna's P.o.V.
There was something different when I woke up . I slept through my alarm , which isn't like me and so when I awoke my dry cleaning was sitting in the living room with a bill . I noticed Avan was not yet awake as I got into the kitchen. I went to the kitchen and popped some blood in the microwave as I thought about tonight .I made the preparations for tonight . For the final crowning is the queen of Louisiana , chosen by me , Olivia . My first state , our we've locked down the gulf. And tonight needed to go as scheduled . As I finished my last call with the photographer , I thought about Olivia's child . She was quieter then I like for a baby vamp but at the same time it was expected of her kind . But she seemed to have a secret . I looked at my phone . And dialed Olivia's number .
"Jidenna" she said . She seemed busy ."What are you doing ?" I asked . I turned to my desk and began to sharpen pencils in boredom as I began conversation .
"I am getting ready , I just got out of the shower , is there something you needed " she asked , seeming irritated .
"And your maker , where is he? In bed with you ?" I asked .
"And if he was" she purred sensuously .
"So you have reformed your bond" I said .
"Eric never released me Jidenna . He is my maker we will always have a bond . He said he is fine with the outcome and has accepted what is. Our bond will be the same , I strained by you and Avan" she snapped . I let silence fall on the phone as she ducked in the fear of the moment she just had . She appeared to have chosen a side . But I wanted other information right now .
"And your child" I asked . "To be honest , I am intrigued by your choice in making a child . She's different. Where is she when you and Eric are alone ?",I said .
"In what way is she different?" She asked . She had avoided the question , and I was ready to continue this conversation but then the door opened and Avan appeared dressed .
"We will be there in an hour" I say, hanging up the phone and setting down my 20th pencil .
"You have awoken finally " I said with a sigh .
"And how long did you sleep" he asked looking at me . "Who was on the phone" he asked .
"Olivia" I say . "This crowning has to go as planned . We will have the gulf and the east coast in control"
"I'm aware " Avan said . " and then will you be ready to raise our Queen" he said . I looked at him .
"Have you been to our Queen lately Avan ?" I asked .
Gabby's P.o.V.
Eric came in my room as I was walking to the mirror . I looked at myself in my dress . I smoothed it out . I am not playing with Eric and am in no mood . He sat on the bed ."You look great " he said . I look at him and through the mirror to see his eyes .
"Thank you , So do you" I shrugged . I fluffed out my curls and he starred . I rolled my eyes and turned to him . "What did she say?"
"You know what she said ." He scoffed . "You could have told me she want me to be King"
"Well you rose her , what did you expect" I said . "She wants the state"
"But it's about to be given to Olivia" he questioned . I looked at him .
"So, give it to Akasha , she is our Queen, not Olivia" I said simply .
"And you think it's that easy" He said . "That's not just Jidenna and Avan . That's Nan Flanagan , the AVA , the Authority . On top of Jidenna and Avan willing to kill who raised her ."
"And you know better then I do that you raised specifically to deal with them" I said . "Olivia is your child" I said . "I am aware , and I'd get to enjoy her as my maker if she didn't have to rule a state . You need to talk to her, because when the crowning begins , Akasha, our Queen, is coming for her thrown. And you know she is ready to destroy anyone standing in her way."
Jidenna's P.o.V.
I felt a shift in my body . I knew the detachment immediately . I had been released by my Queen . I knew there was one way to be sure . I walked calmly into the living room where Avan sat . To see if he felt the same thing .
"Have you felt different lately ?" I asked Avan . I felt something moving , but I couldn't figure out what . It was fading away from me though .
"Different in what way " he said . "Ben ,Why do you ask ?" He looked up at me mockingly . "Maybe it's the guilt"
"Excuse me, guilt of what ?" I asked .
"I smelled Olivia, in the tomb " he said .
"And who did you take when you went ?" I said . We locked eyes in a cold stare .Avan has been fucking me over since he got involved .
"You brought Eric Northman to where our Queen rest" I asked . He wouldn't look me in the eye and then rolled his eyes and starred at me .
"Eric is harmless , and that's what happens when I find out you've been seeing her with Olivia" he shrugged . We had to go to the tomb . I stood , shoving the pencil I was sharpening into my pocket , immediately sliding on my coat . "Come Avan, we must investigate "
As we sit in the car I contemplate my options of what could be there . Could Akasha have risen ? If so with who's blood if not ours ? This was Avan's fault . How could he have risen Akasha . If he had , how will we put her in control again . And Enkil , he will destroy us both . They will . I stare at Avan in pure hatred as I think of how much he has ruined my takeover . I would call it Sabotage. As we approach the tomb we both stop at the door unable to open it . We both felt the emptiness that meant Akasha had gone . We both locked eyes at each other and the knob . I took the chance , I pull the door open and he goes in first . As we descend the stairs , my eyes weren't prepared for what was before us . Enkil's statue laid with his throat ripped out . His face warped in a scream that would be stuck on his face forever . He was a real statue now . No longer living , drained into marble . And Akasha's seat , empty as expected . Avan and I locked eyes and immediately grab for each others throats . I was prepared for what was expected . He knew exactly what was coming as well as he grabbed me first .
"You did this " I said .
"You really would lie to me after all this Jidenna " he said . Did he just really try to flip the switch when he, was guilty of treason . His hand was on my left arm , my right arm entangled in his , I launch him against the stone body of Enkil , before thinking , I stabbed the pencil in my pocket into his chest . He looked at me in shock . Opened his mouth to say something , and melted into a bloody mess on the shattered Enkil . The Throne of 2 Kings .
