The Lost Queen ✔

Chapter 30: Future

War can change us. Be it good or bad.

"Bakit po ate? Bakit hindi niyo iniligtas si lolo. Bakit ate?" Jaquin look at Clarissa with dead eyes.

Sometimes we are to blame for the lost of a life. A queen who's task is to save her people be it vampire, half - breeds and wolves.

"You can't blame the Queen. She also fought for her life. You should respect her because she is our ruler." Giit ni Lumiere.

"You fucking stay out of this half - breed." Jaquin snarl at the half vampire elf.

Sometimes we blame the people who fought in our side. The bittersweet pain just won't leave.

A resounding slap is heard in the City of Ashes. Wide eyed Jaquin look at Penelope Clearwater. Unshed tears in her eyes and with fisted hands she punch him.

Maybe the emotional pain you feel well be gone with a good punch or a hard slap to be awake and face reality.

"Look around you Jaquin. Hindi lang ikaw ang nawalan. Look at my sister. Look at her!" And he did. The sweet yet gentle Ginger Clearwater will be forever scarred for life.

Her sweet face has a long scar but yet she smiled at him. Albeit a small one and yet it was a smile.

You felt ashame that someone who is starting to be special from your heart will make you realize that you can be the biggest jerk in existence.

"Look at our very own King Alexander. His mate died 20 years ago Jaquin. Pero tingnan mo naman, tingnan mo ang Hari ng mga bampira. He continue to fight. He didn't blame anybody. He didn't. Pero ikaw? Tingnan mo ang taong nakapaligid sayo? Tinuring mong ate ang Reyna natin pero she can't save all of us Jaquin. She can't save all of us." Pahina ng pahina ang boses ni Penelope and he knows why.

Lying in the ground ay ang mag asawang Riddle, walang buhay but has a smile on there face and holding each other hands. "H-ow?" His throat practically went dry.

War can be messy. It's not only the losing side who suffers the most sometimes the greatest loss can come from your love ones.

You just can't expect it to end in a happily ever after. War is war. It's not a fairytale where everybody is happy. It's not. You will be scarred for life mentally and physically.

"Hindi ko namalayan na nawala sa paningin ko si Fleur. May isang bampira ang hindi niya nakita. She was being killed from behind. Her husband, her mate is only human even if his a half giant he was driven with lust to kill, he almost eliminate all of them but sadly he died of blood loss. I wasn't able to save them." Clarissa broken's voice was definitely present and her mate Pierre who wield Abaddon hug her.

Blame oneself when you are holding the life of all soldiers. It is a Queen's responsibility. It is a Queen's duty and yet you can't save all.

After all even if you have strength, abnormal speed you just can't save them. You can't. That is the reality in war. Casualties.

Napapikit si Jaquin. War became his nightmare. His friend was scarred for life. The girl who was crying infront of him, who he realize was special will take the place of Alpha and be a strong woman despite it all. The half - breed who become his bestfriend. The Queen who he looks up at like a sister despite the blame she receive was still standing. The human underneath it all was so strong and Jaquin felt shame.
