Destiny

Chapter 18

*MiYoung's POV*

I stood in the throne room with my fists clenched so tightly that my fingernails were beggining to cut into my palms. My blood was boiling and I felt utterly defensless. This man who I'm assuming is Prince SeHun and Prince JongDae 's father had one of his guards holding my baby sister hostage with a blade to her throat. My body wanted to lunge forward but I was afraid of what might happen if I did. We all stood silently in terror not knowing what to do when the King made a motion with his finger. The gesture was so small that we barely noticed until we heard HeeYoung cry out with pain. A small stream of blood started to run down the front of her dress. My eyes widened but before I could move Prince SeHun lunged forward with the strength of a charging bull and broke free of his captors. He punched the guard in the face and grabbed HeeYoung pulling her into his arms. Without any hesitation my sisters and I pounced on the guard kicking and punching him until the other guards came to pull us away. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice. "STOP!, the voice yelled, what the hell is going on in here?! What happened to her?!" I turned to see Prince YiXing standing in the doorway. My heart pounded. His eyes were red and puffy and he looked stressed. I wanted to run over to him and ask him what was wrong. His eyes locked with mine and then he looked away. "Get her to the doctor NOW! Tell him if he lets her die I'll hang him!" He yelled. I was shocked at his words I had never heard him speak that way before. He looked at me again and noticed my dress was stained with blood. "Sir, he said adressing SeHun's father, please refrain from creating violence in my kingdom QingSha is a peaceful place and I need it to stay that way." SeHun's father looked at his guard on the ground then stepped over his almost lifeless body and motioned for his other guards to follow him. I shook my head in disbelief. What an EVIL man. I looked toward YiXing again and his eyes fell on my dress again. He frowned and sighed. "MiYoung, he said, go up to my room, get changed , and wait for me there I need to tell you something. Speak to no one. Do you understand?" I nodded. He motioned for me to leave and I took off running. On my way up to his room I saw a group of people standing outside of the King's quarters. I stopped walking slowly as I passed the door and saw the palace doctor pulling a sheet up over the king's face as his body laid lifeless in his bed. YiXing's father was dead. He was now King

*JinHee's POV*

I stood in the throne room and watched as Prince YiXing rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache. He blinked several times and then turned to us. "Go to your room" he said. I didnt bother to argue with him. I silently walked out of the room and headed to my quarters. ZiTao was waiting for me in front of the door."JinHee~!, he exclaimed, how is HeeYoung?! I woke up and you werent there and I heard the page boy's talking. SeHun's dad tried to KILL her?!?" I nodded silently and opened the door to my room. I took a few deep breaths then burst into tears. "Hey~, he said while pulling me into his arms and holding me, don't cry okay? I'm here. She'll be okay." I nodded but I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. "Listen, he said, come and spend the night with me. I promise I'll make it all better okay?" Once again I nodded and I followed him up to his room. He smiled and undressed me then put my into bed and pulled the covers over me. He got undressed and got into bed himself then he kissed my forehead and stroked my cheek until I fell asleep. He was the sweetest man I've ever known.

*KyungMi's POV*

Prince YiXing had told JinHee and I to go to our rooms and just as I turned to leave the room I felt a pair of arms around me. JongDae was holding on to me and I could feel his body trembling. "KyungMi, he said, I'm so sorry" "Sorry for what?" I asked while spinning myself to face him. His eyes were red and I could hear him choking back a loud sob. "JongDae?" I said. "I am so sorry for what happened to your sister, he sobbed, honestly I never wanted any of you to EVER get hurt. I am so sorry baby. I'm even more sorry to say that I can't marry you." "You WHAT?!" I nearly screamed. I knew that I was overreacting but my frustrations and anger over the situation boiled over and I couldn't contain myself. I smacked him and ran  out of the throne room crying. When I got to into my room I collapsed on my bed sobbing uncontrollably. I felt so selfish and horrible for thinking this way but why couldnt this one thing just go my way?! Why not just this once?!

*HeeYoung's POV*

I opened my eyes and my head started pounding. My throat was dry and it was hurting. "What happened?" I said in a whispery tone as I looked around the room. "Shh~, SeHun said, please please please don't say anything." I smiled and nodded at him. He smiled painfully. I could see that he was holding back tears. "Wha--" I started to say. He pressed hiss lips to mine. "I'm so sorry" he breathed. I blinked several times showing my confusion. "I have to leave, he said as he looked into my widened eyes, Its the only way" I shook my head no and he begged me not to move. "Please HeeYoung don't make this any harder than it already is. You know I dont want to leave you. My heart is broken but I cant put you in harms way, I love you too much. My father wont rest until you're out of my life one way or another. This is  the only way I can keep you safe. It's only for now. I promise you i'll come back for you." Tears rolled down both of our faces as he sobbed into my shoulder. He kissed me and said "I love you" one last time. Then he forced himself to walk out of the room. I rolled over and screamed as loud as I could. I could hear him sobbing in the hall and I knew this was hurting him too but I wanted him to hear my pain. I'd do anything just to have him back. I love him so much.
