I, Cornelia

Chapter 1

Every bruise on my bare feel made its presence know as I pushed faster towards the front gates of the castle. Blood curdling screams were heard from every direction in the castle walls; fire blooming from each corner. The castle including the whole kingdom was under attack. An uproar broke out leading to a rebellion against the kingdom and his majesty. He ruled with a cruel and vile hand and all who lived feared him. I, his honored servant, chosen to be his right hand second to his first general, have never seen such blood shed in over 300 years. His majesty, Arius Cornelia, had sent me to gather more of his commanding army, however, leaving the battle field I found only but dead bodies and fleeing traitors.
"INCOMING!" I freeze and look up to find arrows of fire crashing down. I run fast across the yard and duck behind what use to be the gate tower. A loud boom and crash echoed  across the castle making its walls crumble to the ground. I gather myself and huff in another breath before taking off towards the battle field outside the castle walls. I reach the front gates and notice it was already half destroyed. I look out to the field, pools and splatters of the blood of hundreds of the lives the kingdom once held.
" damnit! Useless elf! Where is the rest army I demanded?!"
Instantly, my head jolted in fear and I quickly turned to fast his majesty. Fiercely he rode his horse quickly over to me, covered in blood. His eyes dark and yearning for more bloodshed. The splatter of blood across his face he doesn't even seem to mind or noticed. He looked down from his horse at me with such blood rage and hate you could barely tell he was human.
" Italia!!"
I couldn't quite find the words to tell him in fear of him killing me.
"Y-Your majesty... I... There aren't anyone left. They have all fallen."
"Lies!!"
He sneered and his eye brows scrunched together. He rode his horse closer to me and paused. I couldn't move. I was frozen to the spot. I could feel the tears burning my eyes as I tried not to cry.
" Italia..... you and your race started this... "
"N-No... I... I would never go against you. You have always had my service and my sword, your majesty."
Getting down from his horse, he approached me so carefully it was frightening. His eyes never moving from mine keeping me in place. He leaned into my ear his hot breathe brushing across my cheek. I held my breath and tried to keep from shaking.
"Italia, you... you and your race of unworthy shitty elves... will be together soon...."
" your... majesty..."
Crack. Slush
"Joined together.... in hell."

My best hunting knife, from her torso through her ribs, cut and gutted her perfectly. I watch as her life left her shock unmoving face, and soon her body went limp. I throw her aside off my knife and mount my horse once more. The battle from the front castle gates continued but moved more out towards the field. I looked to the sky as it began to rain. This kingdom deserves to burn in hell. They have crossed ever boundary with me and I have lost my patience, but once they poisoned, and killed my beloved, I lost my temper and now they will have my cleansing. My anger. My pain. My rath.
"Yha"
Racing and Storming through the war on my horse, slashing and knocking down anything and anyone in my path. Screams everywhere while choking on their own blood, the mud mixing with it making it darker as I rode my horse through it. The feeling of running my sword through anything becoming more addictive and I becoming more bloodthirsty.

—————————————————
Mud, sweat, and blood covered me and I was quickly running out of arrows. In the beginning of the war, I searched about for the innocent and retreated them to safer places, until my own calling pulled me to the battle. I lost hope. I'm not sure if it were even there to begin with, but my faith will soon be known to my father and this kingdom. I knew what I needed to do on the battle field. I knew that I may never leave it alive but I also knew if that were the case, I needed to bring my father to hell with me.
Taking another arrow I hit another one of my fathers men. I reached back for another and noticed I was out. It's time.
I pulled out my sword, make from the North mountain sage and forged from the metals of the underworld, and began battle on foot searching for my father through the sea of blood.
*
"BELLA!"
I stopped. I didn't even need to turn around to know who's voice called out to me. Slowly I turned to see my father a few feet away from me.
"Father..."
I loved my father, even when I know he never wanted me. Nor my mother. They both wanted a boy but had me instead. I didn't join the rebellion, but I wasn't for his cause either. I was the scavenger. I wanted to make the safe place for those who didn't want to be part of this blood bath.
Slowly he began to walk forward to me and I the same. He cut down anyone from either side who dared to get in his way. Slicing throats, cutting heads off as if it were nothing to him. Like he had no soul no core anymore; inhuman.
" A whore and traitor for a daughter. You wouldn't even marry off to the men I arranged to you. You wanted to whore around with shitty halfbreeds!"
I kept my composure and kept from crying.
" those men were old greedy bastards who would have sold me off to any other thing for money!"
He quickened his pace a little and gritted his teeth.
" you would have been just fine you useless bitch! You weren't even worth anything, I'm sure they would have shanked you for free!!"
I took off running towards him my sword held at a proper stance.
Clash
Our swords crashed together, hate seething from both of our eyes. He pushed me back and I landed on my back. Before I knew, his sword was coming down, I quickly rolled to the side crouching beside him slicing his upper thigh. He screamed in pain and grabbed a fist full of my hair bringing his sword to my throat, both look at each other with intensity.
" I should have killed you when you were just born..."
He huffed out. A look of disgust washed over my face and I grabbed his fist which still held my hair.
" and I, arius, should have killed you while you slept.."
With that note, I held onto his fist and swing myself up kicking his jaw and landing back down to grab my sword ready to fight. He staggered back laughing, regaining himself and grabbing his sword as well.

CRASH!!!
The sky's crashed and crackled making the earth shake. A lighting bolt landed in the middle of the battle field making most retreat.
I felt something sting with a warm liquid flowing from my right side. I look down to see the other end of a sword. My face grew flush and my body felt numb. I felt my fathers lips on my ear his hot breath blew strands of my hair.
" now now little Bella, before you join the rest in hell..."
He paused and I felt a shocking pain go through me as he violently pulled the sword from me. I slowly turned to face him trying not to stagger or fall.
He whispered in my ear.
" I did it.... I killed Vincent."
My heart sank. My tears burned my eyes. I couldn't breathe anymore. Nearly letting my life slip my anger wouldn't let me go just yet. I quickly pulled my dagger from my side pouch and stabbed him in the chest.he staggered back with a smirk on his face.
" this.... this wouldn't kill me.... stupid bitch."
He huffed and coughed blood.
I slightly laughed.
" father...."
He looked at me.
" I did it. I killed.... the queen."
I smiled slightly. He wasn't going to get me and even if he did, I was going to get him too. With that, I fell to my knees letting my face meet the bloody mud. Right before my eyes finally closed I saw my father fall to the ground.
See you In hell.
—————————————-
I watched as my daughter slowly lost her life. Her body fell to the mud slowly going numb and empty. I pulled the dagger from my chest and looked around for my horse. A horrific burning pain entered In my spine leaving me unable to even scream out.
I turned my head as my killer made himself known. A stranger in a dark hooded cloak rounded me. Sparks and strands of lighting surrounding him.
He must have caused the lighting blot. Soon he unhooded himself...
Vincent?!
How?! How?! I killed him!!!!!!
—————————————————-
I thrusted dagger made from lighting through his spine, gutting him from his back side. I showed his face as what's left of him left his body.
"H-How......I...."
" fucking die."
I pierced another lighting bolt through his head quickly killing him. I walked over to Where Bella laid slowly turning her over.
My beautiful Bella. I brushed the mud off her face and a strand of hair from her, tucking it behind her ear. Slowly kisses her forehead. I bent down beside her to pick her up, not her body. Her soul. She and I can be together, once more, in the afterlife.
Almost ghostly, her soul was a grey blue but shined so brightly like a star. Just as I remember her.
"Mhmm...."
she slowly blinked her eyes and opened them. She stared at me before  slowly speaking. 
"Vincent? .....B-But..."
I cut her off , kissing Her soft lips as they hungrily welcomed mine.
"The after life my dear."
I held her close to me and She brushed back my long black hair. Her green eyes stared into my silver ones. She softly smiled.
" is she.."
"She's fine, absolutely beautiful and looks just like you. She has a good home as well, and when the time is ready.... she come claim the throne."
I carefully carried her across the field to where the lighting struck careful not to trip over lifeless bodies.
"And her godmother? "  she asked curiously
" your half sister my love."
She slowly rested her head on my chest.
" good. She's a perfect fit."
I kisses her once again and the lighting struck taking us to the afterlife, leaving the kingdom and it's blood bath in ruin.

"Elizabeth... I have my faith in you, my sweet daughter."
