Destiny

Chapter 26

*KyungMi's POV*

I sat in the coach with JongDae all day. I didn't want to go back to the Palace. I couldn't go on living with my sister's murderer. "Why don't you come home with me?" JongDae asked. "I would like to but the timing just isn't right. Your parents are still grieving... Seeing me will only remind them of HeeYoung... And then SeHun." I said. He sighed. "You're right~,he said, So now what's going to happen with your family?" "I don't know but I know MiYoung is probably burning that Palace down right now. YiXing had us all fooled." JongDae shook his head. "I don't hate him, he said, My brother killed himself. No one did it for him. I am hurt and my heart is broken but I should not be irrational." I looked up at him and smiled. He was so wise for such a young age. My JongDae was going to be a great King one day.

*JinHee's POV*

"JinHee~, Tao called from across the room, JinHee where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere. You weren't in bed this morning." I looked up from my book and raised my eyebrow. "I'm right here~" I said. I didn't mean to sound so cold to him but I was busy. Instead of grieving for my sister I was determined to bring her back. "JinHee~~" he whined as he sat next to me. "Tao~, I said, honey I love you but right now I'm busy." He frowned and kissed my cheek. "Too busy for me?" He asked. "Tao~~, i exclaimed, jesus... again?!" "Well we don't have to do it now~, he said in a matter of fact tone, what are you doing anyway?" I looked at him through squinted eyes and then whispered. "I'm working on a spell." "A spell?!" He asked out loud. "Shhhh~~~!!! Keep your voice down!, I said, come on let's go upstairs." I got up and he followed me out of the library and up the stairs to his room in the Tower. As we entered the room he shut the door behind us and chuckled. "I knew you would see it my way~" he said while taking his shirt off. "Whaa--" I said as his lips crashed against mine and he lifted me, carrying me over to the bed. He started to untie the back of my dress while kissing my neck softly. "Ahhh... T-T-Tao, I stammered, S-S-Stop~~ I-I-I'm serious. " He chucked again. "No your not~~" he said. I pushed him away and he laughed and sat on the bed next to me. "Alright~ Alright~ Tell me about this spell~" he said. "Okay, I said as he yawned sarcastically. I furrowed my eyebrows and hit him with the book in my hand before continuing, See, HeeYoung was looking for a way to unlock our powers but I think she was looking in the wrong place. On the very first page of the book theres an incantation. She kept trying to do it on her own but the spell talks about the power of three. So i figure that 3 people have to complete the spell together." Tao nodded as he pondered what I was saying. "So, he asked , you think that If you use the ingredients in the book and complete the spell with your sisters together... You can get your powers back?"

"Exactly, I said, but we have to be quiet about it so I need you to do a favor for me." "Anything~" he said. "Get these ingredients for me?" I asked. I gave him a list and he put it in his pocket. "I'll have them for you tomorrow, he said, anything else?" I looked up at him cautiously. "Well there is one more thing~" I said. "What?" He asked. "I need... Your blood." I said. His eyes widened for a moment and he laughed. "Seriously?, he asked, what are you going to do when you get your powers back?" "I'm going to bring my sister back to life." I said. He nodded. "Alright, he said, Take all the blood you need. Take all of it if it will make you happy." I smiled at him. He was so loving and willing to do anything for me. I was so in love with him I could barely stand it. "Thank you~" I said. "No problem, he said, now let me work some magic on you~" he put the book on the armchair and kissed me sweetly. This time I didn't protest.

*MiYoung's POV*

"Okay~, I said, tell me again?" YiXing smiled then laughed. We were having a private dinner in our quarters. We had been up here all morning ever since he told me the truth about HeeYoung, a girl who I thought was my sister and would have given my life to protect. "Your father, he said, and Mistress Lucy... Former Queen Lucinda... Who is a dark witch and was my father's first wife,had a child together. They took that child and brought her to your mother who then raised that child as her own. This child was named HeeYoung and raised as your sister but all the while she was being secretly groomed by her mother to destroy your family." I took in a deep breath. "I believe you,I said, as far fetched as this all sounds .... I believe you." He nodded. "Thank you, he said, I am so sorry for the way that things happened. I never meant for it to hurt you but I needed to protect you and my kingdom. HeeYoung would have killed all of us and left QingSha in ruin." I nodded. "I understand what you did and I'm sorry too,I said, I honestly don't know how I'm being so rational but theres something about you. I'm drawn to you YiXing... I just don't know why." He smiled at me. "You're more than drawn to me, he said, You're bound to me. We are bound to each other. You are my destiny."
