***This is a fanFiction on my friend's @kwboots8888 story please enjoy it^^****

It’s been two years since I left the castle and went with Bassy and his sister. I missed the castle but most of all I missed Caleb. I haven’t seen him in so long and now after two years the only reason I was coming back was to witness his marriage to Diana.  My brother, my loved one was being taken away from me. I bit the inside of my cheek as I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were filled with rage, I knew we came to a good end the last time we saw each other but this, the marriage, never crossed my mind. I packed my things and got into the carriage seeing that Bassy’s sister seemed happier then usually but quickly dismissed it. She always was closer to Diana so I bet she’s happy for her up coming wedding.

            “We’re are here my ladies.” I got out of the carriage and saw the very familiar village and my dear brother waiting by the door with a smile.

            “Caleb!” I ran to his arms as he embraced me. Throughout the years I did not realize how much I missed him, his touch, his smell. I wanted nothing more then to kiss him but I know I couldn’t when Diana walked out with a smile as beautiful as ever. I bit the inside of my lip again forcing a smile and stepping forward to hug her.

            “Congratulations.”  She smiled even brighter making me feel worse, why was she so much prettier. Why was she the one getting married to Caleb and not me? I knew him longer much longer then she ever had, this wasn’t fair. I regretted ever telling him I was his sister. I regretted ever leaving. Diana was now able to walk as if she never had that incident and showed me to my old room.

            “The wedding will be in a week, I’m so glad you were able to make it Jade.” She smiled again and left locking the door. I sighed in misery when I heard her footsteps walk away. Caleb was mine, and no one was going to have him, he had a choice it was either her or me but this time I will make it so he doesn’t have a choice. I never wanted to do this, but he pushed me to it. 

It was past midnight and everyone was sleeping when I put my cape on and went out of the castle. I was heading towards the woods on the path that leads to the old witch, no one liked her or associated with her unless the needed something to do with dark magic. The only reason Caleb had left her alone was because she had promised to live in peace and not bring harm to anyone unless they came to her. I brought with me my most expensive gems as payment because what I wanted was something big. I raised my hand to knock on her door as the summer breeze brushed past me making me shiver as the door unlocked.

            “Come in.” I took a hesitant step forward looking around. The house was old dusty and full of strange things.

            “I’ve come here for a favor, but worry not, I will pay you.” I put my bravest voice on. The woman was old almost fragile looking but I knew better then to trust the appearance of a witch.

            “I know what you came here for don’t mock me.” I swallowed as fear started to consume me but no fear was as great as my jealousy.

            “So you will help me tear them apart.” She laughed all of a sudden startling me then looked at me and full smirked.             

            “I will, but I don’t want your stupid jewels.” I looked at her confused. I should have known better.

            “I want you to be in the castle as the queen and appoint me as the castle’s magician.” I shook my head looking at her as if she was possessed.

            “You know Caleb would never allow that, he knows you he would never let you in or even near the castle.” She laughed again as if mocking me making me feel bitter.

            “Just agree and the rest can be arranged.” I tasted blood inside my mouth, I was again biting on the inside of my cheek but this time it was a little too hard, I finally made my decision and nodded.

            “Okay you have a deal I’ll make you whatever you want.” She smiled and handed me a small bag.

            “Take this and make Caleb take it. He will forget ever meeting Diana or that she even exist, he will also have an unexplainable hatred towards her.” This brought a smile to my face and I took it gladly out of her hand turning on my heel ready to leave.

            “Remember our promise or you will have to deal with me.” I dismissed her voice as I got out of the small cabin heading back towards the castle. It was a full moon night, the wolves were howling around me but I didn’t care. The path was clear and I walked straight into my room falling into a sweet slumber.

****

            “Caleb would you like some tea?” I poured the powder into the cup stirring it with my back to him; poor innocent Caleb wasn’t expecting a thing.

            “I miss drinking tea with you like this.” I smiled and sipped out of my cup nodding.

            “Me too.” He was now squinting his eyes at me and holding his head.

            “Jade…” I watched him pass out on the table as I closed the door.

            “Don’t worry love, I’ll take good care of you.” I put him on the bed undressing him, then taking off my dress and laying next to him closing my eyes and falling asleep.

            “Jade my love wake up.” I felt Caleb kiss my forehead and inhaled his scent as I opened my eyes. His face was so handsome I couldn’t help but touch it. A scream turned my head and his towards the door to see a shocked and betrayed Diana, something deep inside of me made me look away.

            “What is this why are you here, GUARDS!” The guards rushed and held Diana from both hands.

            “Take here to the dungeon now!” The guards looked shocked.

            “But si-“ Caleb interrupted him with a loud voice.

            “I said now!” The guards took Diana away and Caleb turned and kissed me.

            “I’m so sorry about that my love, I don’t want to stress you before our wedding.” Hearing that made me smile through the kiss, I was over flowing with happiness, but I had to get rid of Diana.

After spending the rest of the after noon with Caleb he then announced to all that he was marrying me. That earned him a few strange stares from Bassy and his sister. Everyone other then that was okay with it though. I went down to where Diana was locked and asked the guard to let me speak with her.

            “Haven’t you done enough Jade?” She looked up her eyes red with tears, but I refused to show any emotions.

            “I’m letting you go back to your village. I’ll even give you the money you need to live a good life with your family.” She gave me a shocked look as tears ran down her red cheeks. Her blond beautiful hair was a mess, and the skin under her eyes was puffy like she has been crying for days. “I’m sending you away tomorrow be prepared.” I stood up and walked away. We both knew she had nothing to prepare for, she had no choice because I gave her no choice. 

I saw her carriage departure the next day as Caleb came out and kissed my cheek.

            “What’s the matter?” I held his hand and shook my head.

            “Nothing let’s go back inside.” I smiled at him reassuringly and for the first time felt that Caleb was mine. All mine.
