Destiny

Chapter 17

*JinHee's POV*

           I have never felt more content that I do right now. Starring at Tao's sleeping form in the arm chair near the window of his bedroom. The poor thing had tired himself out from crying, we both did. We had the most emotional conversation I had ever taken part in ever in my life and to top things off he told me he loved me. "JinHee, he'd said, Please don't think I'm insane but I think I'm in love with you." "What?, I questioned, why?" "Because you're the only one that I know in this world that truly loves me" he said. I laughed nervously. "What?, I asked standing and crossing the room slowly, What makes you think that?" "JinHee...,he cooed ever so lightly, please I've had enough of people treading around the truth for a lifetime. You've loved me ever since you laid eyes on me. I saw it. I might not be of magical breeding,and I don't have powers like you and you're sisters do but believe me I could feel it. I've always felt it from you. To be honest, its why I did my best to avoid you. I wasnt ready to accept that anyone could feel anything real for me ever but I know that this... what I could have here with you... this could be real. I just know it in my heart. With every fiber of whats left of my heart.. I just know." 

        I gasped."Oh my gosh ZiTao, I said, I really really REALLY hope you mean that" "I do, he said, I just hope you do. Tell me I'm not insane" "You're not insane, I said rushing over to him, oh baby you're not insane" He pulled me into an embrace and we both cried together. We were both finally complete. I opened my eyes out of my reveriie and smiled. It felt so good to really smile again.

*MiYoung's POV* 

I woke up hours later with a start. I  gasped and sat up suddenly. "Oh... did I wake you?" Prince YiXing asked with a smile. "Kinda" I said with a giggle. He moved across the room and climbed into bed with me again. I smiled as he kissed my cheek and pulled me into an embrace. "Did you sleep well?" he asked. "Yes my prince I slept very well" I said. He nodded and smirked then kissed me again. "Good, he said, I'll have your belongings brought up here. I want you to live with me." "Already?" I asked. "Why not?" he asked. "Sweetheart its too soon, I said, I want to be with my sisters still." "But MiYoung~" he began to whine. "Just until the wedding okay? I promise I'll bring my things up here myself afterward okay?" He smiled. "Alright~,he said, I can wait until the wedding but I get to choose the date." "Alright~, I said, you can choose the date. Do you have a date in mind?" "I do actually, he said as I looked at him curiously, Monday." "Monday?, I asked with a laugh, Which monday? there are many mondays in the year dear." He smirked at me. " I mean next monday dear" he said. "NEXT MONDAY?!?!" I almost shouted in shock. "Yes" he said. "But~ today is friday!" I exclaimed. He smiled brightly "Exactly, I can't wait" he said.

*HeeYoung's POV* 

I was in the middle of the floor in the throne room on my knees. My body was shaking uncontrollably and I could barely breathe. All the while SeHun's father stared at me silently. The ambiance was eerie and I felt my heart nearly beating out of my chest. Suddenly the doors burst open and SeHun flew in with fire in his eyes. "Father don't!, He yelled, Don't you dare hurt her!" SeHun's father laughed then scowled. "My foolish FOOLISH son, he said while shaking his head, How DARE you? How dare you defile my crown and claim to be in Love with THIS?!" He pointed at me and I had to force myself to hold my tongue. "This is DISGUSTING, the King continued, Son you need to make a decison. Since I am your father and I do love you I will give you a choice. You must leave here now, return to SiSeo and be married to the Duke's daughter SuHyun tonight or else" "Or else what?!?, SeHun spat, I will never marry that hag and I would never leave HeeYoung. Why dont you believe that I love her?!" "Cute, The king said with a feigned smirk, Then you have made your choice." He motioned to his guards "Kill her" he said.

*KyungMi's POV*

JongDae and I sat on the love seat in his bedroom as he read a book to me. Things were truly happy and peaceful for us and I smiled when he fumbled on some of the words. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. JongDae's eyebrows furrowed. "What is it?!" he yelled. A page boy entered the room and spoke between taking deel breaths. "Excuse me your majesties. My Lady there is an urgent emergency in the throne room" he said. My  heart stopped as I stood up. "What is it?! I asked. "Y-Y-Your sister" he stammered. I ran out of the room before he could finish his sentence. I could hear JongDae running after me but I couldnt wait for him. I had to run. I burst through to doors to the throne room and found my sisters all standing defensivly in front of HeeYoung who was being held at the neck by a large guard. There was a sharp blade being pressed against her throat and the room was silent except for the sounds of Prince SeHun's screams. I could see that he was trying desperatly to get to her. He wanted to save her, we all did. I saw a man standing on the platform smiling devilishly. It made my stomach feel as if its full of curtled milk. I heard JongDae's footsteps finally enter the throne room and I watched as the man's smile widened. "Ahh my beloved first son" he cooed. I could hear JongDae's breathing stall. "Hello Father" he said through his teeth.
