Chapter 18

Ariadne P.O.V

I woke up early, and Alex was still asleep. I felt different. My body they were hot despite being in the cold underground water cave.

I am pretty confused with myself. There were questions that I kept asking myself who am I? What am I?

I have memories that are Ariadne who lives up in the shore with the humans and has a beautiful family although she is adopted, but I also I have memories of Lilith. The innocent child who lost her mother and the king her father ordered the guards to kill her.

She couldn't forget the blood. The blood that was slowly covering the floor with big puddle of blood. Her mother died in the hands of her beloved yet she doesn't seem like she is in pain or betrayed when she died she just laid there peacefully and smiling.

The image enrage me and just wanted to burst the cell door open and kill the king. I wish I could do that, but I am being held back. Alex is here I can't just leave her and start a fight with a king without knowing that the king could use her as a weakness to me.

Alex she has been sleeping a while and it doesn't feel like she is going to wake up any sooner. I think her being here is a way for her to stop me to become Lilith.

But it's too late. I have already become her.

I guess my brothers have left. I am all alone again. To have this power I have come to realise that my brother's, my mother, and my father they weren't a normal human. Their beauty far exceeds of a human and intelligence. They were gods so they knew about me and kept this huge secret about me hidden away from me.

I am not angry just upset. I love them, and they just left without even hearing a word of good bye. Before I knew it tears was falling off of my eyes. Tears of a mermaid they are special so that is how even if mermaids cry under the water they still can be seen.

"Don't cry." I turned my head.

"Alex, you're awake." I quickly swam and hug her like a child hugging helplessly at her mother.

I miss my mother desperately, and to be in her arms again like when I was still a child, but that was all in the past. She's gone everything is gone. There is no one left for me to lean except for Alex. So please don't leave me.

She patted my head. "You feel different Alex." How do you make feel so comfortable when I'm even down learning about my past self? Can you tell me?

"I am almost like you Ariadne, but this time I am fully emerged with Death a monster inside of me that I have been trying to keep her under my control."

"Emerged how?"

"Death has always been a part of me but I was too scared to accept her. She has always been me the hunger, and all those cravings that I wanted to feed from people. They have always been me."

"I don't understand."

"Death is me. She is me a darker version of me."

I didn't understand, but she sounds like she is trying to convince herself that she isn't a normal person. She sounds like she accepted something and she can't go back to the way she was.

"I'm here, Alex. I'm here." I hugged her closely so she could feel my warmth, and hugs me back.

"Don't leave me, Ariadne. You can not leave me."

I smile I am so glad that she has become honest with me. "I will never leave you."

We just sat still there. My memories of Lilith they are returning, and I couldn't control them. They were so overwhelming, but at this time I am glad that Alex is beside.

The sound of the lock was being unlocked. The execution time is here, but it would not be me and Alex that will be executed it will the guards here and the king and their people who side with them. The next heir will be me. 

I will be the Queen
