The Third Queen

A Vacant Queen's Resolve

The manipulate Diva carelessly skipped across the lush greenery of the garden. Releasing her airy melody into the air,devoting her current song to her silent but beloved sister. Leia. Slowly Diva made her way towards Leia,casually twirling around her. Hoping she did infact enjoy her melancholy melody. But lately the "Third Queen's" emotions seemed almost completely unreadable. Ending her tune Diva knelt before her sister,reaching out Diva gently wrapped her icy hands around her sister's warm ones. This seemed to stir something within the quiet Queen,as for a brief moment Diva witnessed a sudden shimmer in Leia's dull lavander gaze. Which slowly turned to meet Diva's dull gaze as well. It had been the first time since her coming there that Leia had even looked at Diva.

Yes it was true she had brought her back with her on some very difficult terms. But they we're blood,sister's. And that was a loyalty no man could damage. Or at least that was what Diva would have liked to have thought,but she knew that was a wish that could possibly be denied. Diva knew her sister was firmly attached to that boy. The single ex human that changed everything for them. The very same man that Leia dared to bestow the gift of immortality. And till this day she couldn't help but to hiss at the thought. When the Chevalier was human he was alot easier to deal with. For he was a weak feeble human easy for the taking. Someone Diva could easily manipulate and destroy,but not now. Diva knew that boy would not give up on her sister. And deep down she knew her sister would never give up on him. That she could possibly be waiting. Waiting for him to come. And save her.

Daringly Diva peered into her sister's eyes,watching as her once dull eyes slowly began to retain their dangerous lavander glow. Those eyes so vibrant yet empty. Void of any type of love that Leia once held for Diva and to see this it greatly saddned and angered Diva. Gritting her teeth Diva released Leia's hands,turning her gaze to her two children. Whom we're still in their cocoon like shrouds,all the while tucked away within a white and blue ribboned basket. Gently Diva ran her hands across the smooth surface of her children while nuzzling her face into them.

For she may have lost the love of her beloved sister,but she had them. She had her children. Children that would forever and always love and adore Diva. And that would never change,and she would make sure of that. Almost as if she was annoyed by her very presence,Leia suddenly rose to her feet. Turning her gaze towards the vast mansion before them. Leia began making her way out of the garden and out of the judgemental presence of her sister. Her eyes maintaining their dim but haunting glow Leia pressed her back against her room door.

Before slumping to the ground,her knees brought up to her chest. Gritting her teeth Leia allowed a single tear to slither down her cheek. Refusing to show any further weakness despite being alone. It was as Diva had thought,Leia was still loyal to him. Loyal to Kai. So much infact that being away from him seemed to make her heart hurt. Her body feeling oh so heavy,while her body seemed to go on autopilot when it came to eating and dealing with other situations. Turning her bleary eyed gaze towards the small window in her room,Leia slowly extended her hand towards it. Seeking the freedom she once felt when by his side.

The sense of brief happiness almost a figment of her imagination. Yet Leia wanted it. She craved it above all. For here she was a prisoner,a quiet prisoner who knew her place. But that didn't stop Leia from hoping and praying that she would finally be set free. Yet the last meeting with her beloved Chevalier continued to play through her head in an endless loop. A moment that she struggled to savor despite the painful words exchanged.

Words she knew she could never take back. But words that were so true they almost hurt to say. Enemies. They were enemies now. A Chevalier and his Queen. On opposite sides of war,and there was nothing she could do about it. She knew that when they met once again if ordered to Leia would have to hurt him. Harm her beloved Kai,and try her best not to show the true pain she was feeling. But Leia wasn't too sure she could. But knew she had to,for Diva and Amshel had something over her. Something that Leia screamed at and threatened to murder them where they stood. But could not. Afraid of what they might do.

For Leia was pregnant and days after the birth,Amshel declared that she was indeed still a "Failure Queen" only able to bear one child. Which Leia did,yet before she could even hold the cocoon like structure that held her and Kai's child. The infant was ripped from her by Amshel and a sadistic looking Diva. Who stated "If you betray us,we will end your pitiful child's life and your Chevalier." Those words continued to echoe through Leia's head,along with her own sobs for her child.

Their child,it was their child. And she couldn't even hold it. Instead Amshel would only allow Leia glimpses of the sleeping cocoon on rare occasions. But it wasn't enough,but it couldn't be helped. If only. If only she had told Kai the moment they we're together. Told him that they had a child. Told him why she had to do this then maybe. Maybe things would have been different. But Leia knew that was only wishful thinking. There was only so much he could do. And bringing Kai here would only anger Diva and put their child in even more danger.

So until it was time for the final battle,Leia would play by their rules and seek an opening. And once she had that she would steal her child away,and end Diva once and for all. For yes they were indeed blood,but there are things that even blood cannot save. Sins that could not be wiped clean no matter the bond. And this was such an occasion. Diva would die by her hands. And that was final.
