Bella's point of view

People screams and claps while laughing at whatever performance the performers are showing us on the small stage set in front of the audience. I look at Anna and Amanda, who are excitedly beaming and squealing out of happiness, making me roll my eyes at them.

"Kids." I mutter under my breath with a shake of my head.

After an hour the show got over, we are now walking through the crowded market while holding the candy floss stick. I take one bite and soon enough that piece melted in my mouth like butter on a hot pan, leaving nothing but its sweetness.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look it's a doll!" Anna suddenly squeals, while pointing at a doll in a toys stall.

"Ah, Anna, darling, calm down." I said, while she pulls me and baby Emily's baby carriage with her, toward the stall. While rushing toward the stall I look back at Amanda, who is standing in the middle of the crowd and clutching her baby bump with her face painted in pain.

"Amanda!" I shout, but my scream blended within the crowd. I immediately let go of Anna and the baby carriage in which baby Emily lies and run towards Amanda, who has now plopped down on her knees while still holding her baby bump. A sudden gust of harsh wind hits my body, making it difficult for me to keep my eyes fully open and also slowing down my pace.

"Amanda!" I shout louder and this time she heard me, she looks at me with fear in her eyes. Her eyes immediately wells up with tears and she gently shakes her head, making my mind filled with confusion. But, before I can catch up to her, her body suddenly lights up, causing a huge ball of light.

"No." I whisper, as I stopped moving and stood frozen with my eyes wide. I was being pushed by several people who are currently rushing out, away from the huge ball of light. Suddenly, I didn't feel Anna and baby Emily's presence around me. I furiously look around in worry and fear.

"Anna! Emily!" I scream through the crowd who are also screaming as if their lives depends on it.

I, immediately, spotted them in a corner. I could see Anna trembling in fear while holding the pram and I can already sense baby Emily bawling her eyes out. I sigh out in relief and rush to them. I kneel down on the ground, reaching Anna's height, and immediately pull her into a hug to which she soon started sobbing. I carry her and baby Emily, leaving the baby carriage behind and stand at a few distance away from where the ball of light now lies instead of Amanda. I could see from the corner of my eyes that the royal guards are evacuating the area. Suddenly, a pair of hands gently started pushing me towards the exit.

"Miss, please cooperate and leave this area to the Royals. It's an order from the King Styles." The guard said in a very robotic manner as if he memorised it and is simply repeating what he's been told to.

"But- she is my-" I started but I stopped immediately after seeing that the ball of light has disappeared.

"Amanda!" I scream, but I got no response, I could feel my heart drop in fear. I try to get a glance through the feared crowd and finally I did. Amanda unconsciously lies on the ground, the baby bump has disappeared and blood trickling down her mouth.
