Her Heart (1/3)

Chapter 35

I did everything in my power to try and get out of this cage but I failed dismally everytime I did. So I had to stay put until I could eventually get her to get me out of this cage. Eventually.

I stayed there for hours until she came back. I wasn't sure what time it was, what day it was, whether it was night or day.

"Hello twin sister." she said as the steel bars were open ajar so she could enter.

I didn't reply, instead I watched her drop 'her' bag on the floor. 'Her' bag by the way was an import from England. A bag that caught my eye on our anniversary trip Ryan planned for us.

"My word, I must say Caroline, you live like a queen. Just look at me..." she turned around so that i could see how good she looked in my clothes.

The devil wore a black leather mini skirt from Gucci and light black stockings from the same brand. She paired it with a beige turtle neck and my black limited edition Dr. Martins and finally a beige coat a from a well known designer had this custom made for me from Paris.

"I mean the pack house is just, wow. That fucken house is huge! The guys in that house Lord! Don't even get me started on your wardrobe. Designer bags and shoes, custom made dresses, imported jewelry from all the biggest names in the game. You must be giving it good to Ryan." she says rather impressed.

"Oh and Ryan...I must say you did good baby sis. His body is to die for! We had a shower together this morning, he wanted to show me just how sorry he was, and believe me, he was definitely sorry. " she said with a smirk.

No. She was lying. Ryan would never. I felt sick to my stomach at the image she had just painted.

My heart broke at the thought of Ryan with someone else, let alone my own sister.

Did he really not know me? Surely he noticed that she her eyes are a shade darker. And my hair is shorter then hers.

By inches, how is he supposed to pay that much attention?

Okay fine. I'll rule that out. But surely we don't have the same scent. Right? Im a couple of centimeters taller then she is. I know Ryan isn't dumb. He realises that she's an imposter and is working on a plan to free me. Right?

Free you? You wanted nothing to do with him. You were ready to leave in a heartbeat, so why should he come back for you?

My subconscious was right. I don't deserve to have Ryan, but i still loved him. "Leave Ryan out of this."

She smirks. "Im back and there's nothing you can do. See, you took everything from me, and now you will pay, and I will ruin your life just like you ruined mine." She said squatting next to my cage, eye level as me.

That message. I've heard it before. My nightmares!

It was a sign from above that something bad was going to happen. And here I am now. Well that's what i get for taking them lightly.

"But I didn't do anything to you. Like you said we were just babies when we got separated." I said to her.

"Still." she said dismissively, rising to her feet.

"You're my sister. I know you don't want to kill me or harm anyone else." she rolled her eyes and started walking to a table. "Do You Amber?" The last part made her freeze and slowly turn around to look back at me.

"What did you just say?" she asked in disbelief.

"Amber Casey Parker is your name."

"How?" she asked surprised and in shock.

"Look, I might not remember everything but I do remember that I had a twin sister. I can still hear our earspilting screams when they separated us. I could feel the bond we shared. It was so powerful. And im sorry that you were deprived of a good life. A life of a Parker princess. But believe me when i say, it wasn't all that. You were most probably better off away from that castle."

"The cage." she said more to herself totally ignoring what I just said. "You touched the cage didn't you?"

"Of course I did." I rolled my eyes as I replied in a 'duh' tone.

"That's why you're so weak. Whenever you fought the power of the cage, it made you weaker. But in the process you got to see, hear and feel things that connected us together." She said in realisation.

To be honest I also didn't know what happened. I felt weak, yes, but I knew something about Amber. I didn't realise that the cage must have been the cause of this. She must have used magic, that's why I can not do anything in here.

"Amber I get why you're upset okay-"

"Don't you dare! You know nothing! Dad didn't hesitate to send me away, so this is all his fault. He and that very smart queen of his."

"Smart? She's nothing but evil!"

"Caroline, have you ever wondered why she doesn't like you? Why she has hated you all this time? Us?"

"Because she watched Cinderella way too much and now she took on the role of the evil step mother." i said rolling my eyes once again.

"You seriously couldn't see all of this? Caroline! Wake up!" she said suddenly, giving me a fright.

"She hated you and her own son. You were close to her son and vowed to protect him. And when you were married to Jeremy, she couldn't be happier because she knew you wouldn't just leave your poor little helpless brother behind with her. She knew that you would pass down the crown to her son. That's what they wanted. You were going to be crowned queen and she didn't want that, she wanted one of her children to have the crown, you intimidated her. We are the most powerful vampires to have ever been bred, of course she's fucken shaking in her boots."

"What do you mean they ?"

"Well I mean poor Kevin only had to put on a sad face and he already had you wrapped around his little finger. It was all an act!" she rolled her eyes sounding annoyed.

I had to analyse what she had just said to me. I didn't want to believe her but it made sense, everything was crystal clear now. I expected this from Lisa but not Kevin. To think that I cared so much about him. I refused my own crown-so that i could give it to him-thinking he was in danger but I was dead wrong.

Then Amber laughed out loud. "What makes it worse is that he had his coronation six months ago and you weren't even invited." she laughed once again.

At this point I was angry and heart broken. When I get out of this cage-which I will-I'm going to bring a lot of people to their knees.

"I know you must feel stupid but hey, it's life. Anyway, have fun playing with the rats, I need to leave. I have things to do."

'What are we going to do?' Asked my vampire.

'I really don't have a plan. Whenever we touch the cage it makes us weaker.'

'But it also helped you gain some information right? So maybe if you try again you might find out more.'

'I'm already weak, if I touch it again it might kill us. What we need to do is to figure out how to get out of this place.'

'How about we try and use the mate bond to connect with Ryan? I mean we could warm him or something.'

'I'll give It a try.'

I tried contacting Ryan but I was shut out. I couldn't feel him. This dumb cage is preventing me from doing anything.

'Hey! What if she's the one who cast the spell?'

'Yeah so?'

Isn't it one of those things were if the person who casted the spells' heart stops, then the spell is broken?'

'Yeah that just might work. What we need to figure out is how we can kill her.'
