Heroine

Nineteen-War

The rogues dashed in through the huge doors of the grand castle, one that Aramine had only once visited when she was coronated,

They ran in as she was shoved harshly to the side by Jaxon,

Weapons were thrown everywhere and Jaxon had even resorted to spearing people with the sceptre.
Aramine sprinted down the middle of the aisle, kicking up her heavy dress in front of her and clutching, at the fabric blocking her feet, in fists.
The little pieces that wrapped around the top of her arms fluttered, her entire chest moved up and down as she swept down the aisle, struggling to breathe in the tight corset, people swarmed her in seconds and she slammed them against the wall as she hauled her long dress down the aisle throwing people out of the way as she tried to reach Matthew and Logan,

She had no idea who was on her side.

But they will listen to their queen.

Rogues attacked her, tearing apart her dress, ripping the sleeves and tearing off the layers of material,
Leaving it with the layer of puffs and ruffles like a Meringue.

"Ashley" she screamed, as the man made his way through the crowd parting it with a line of magic,

She knew he was in that vision! Of course he was there, maybe poisoning him wasn't necessary?

She ran past and burst out the front door as the massacre continued, She ran down the white marble steps, she tripped on the netting and tumbled into the forest floor where she tore off the dress and picked up her outfit that Edith teleported in, she was changed in less than a minute and left the pink muddy dress in a heap.

She burst in, removing the weapons from her boots and belt, slashing un-familiar rogues throats left, right and centre,
Worryingly though, since he commanded the fight, her brother was nowhere to be seen.

Although in the distance she distinctly saw the Hunter brothers tearing each other apart as wolves. And then they were moved from her line of sight.

She tore through her enemies, desperately searching for the boys as she slashed through the people, trying to find anyone familiar,

She immediately spotted Edith slapping Ashley and began to panic.

She turned just as she felt a blade slice into her back right beside her spine, her mouth formed an 'o' shape as she fell to her knees, but she knew what she needed to do, this close to death she could summon the dead.

With her last strength she would reach out to the spirit world and haul up her parents, the whole courtroom sit silent as the former king and Queen appear from the floor, shock plastered on their faces,

"Jon, Aramine?" The queen asked with her hands over her mouth, being held up by the king,

And that's when Aramine knew that her brother was the one who stabbed her in the back, literally.

"We know your in there son, but we also know you are a moon ranger wolf," a series of gasps swept through the court which seemed to have formed a circle around them

Jon sat down on the throne with the crown on his head and jewels in his hands,
"Whatever, I'm where I'm supposed to be now." He said with a smirk on his face.

Everything so far in the vision had come true

"We also know it's you who killed us," my mother whispered,

And everything clicks into place.

Jon is the black wolf.

He is the murderer of her parents, he is the one who chased her.

"You ruin everything!" He screamed out at her, the kingdom won't want him as a leader now .

And that's when the final piece clicked,
The bright moon hit the peak behind the clouds as jons wolf began to crack into place.

And he growled at his dying sister.

But they need her to survive,
They have no one to claim the throne

" I leave my throne to Logan Hunter." Was all she could croak out before she crumpled to the floor,
Blood seeping to the floor as the wind whipped viscously once more through the court,

Jon growled as he broke free and pounced on Matthew snapping his neck between his viscous jaws.

Matthew fell to the floor dead as his head his the floor and smashed, blood oozing from it onto the marble, as Logan screamed.
Matthews body was still but his soulless eyes stared at Aramine, haunting her last sights.

That's when Aramine lost her senses,
She stared into the distance, eyes drifting out of focus.
Just like the final part of the vision.

Her final thought was;

"I never even found my mate"

Before all she could hear was silence.

In her memory she was running from the black wolf, before she ran straight into a tree, she turned to face the wolf and put out her hand, a white bolt of electricity shot from her palm and shot the wolf back into the distance, a man appeared beside her and took her hand, Ashley. He got her out of those woods.

She was no Heroine.

Blackness.
