To Fall

prologue

Annie pov

I thought I knew what it was like to see someone truly break.

Over the years I had seen Navi break, piece by little piece. I swore to myself after high school she would find her home, she would move and be happy.

Then Navi found her mate. The king. She hid from him, and got caught up in trouble.

I thought she had broken completely the first time she had gotten kidnapped, by Chadum. She came home, scared at every noise, nightmares every night.

Life proved me wrong as she got captured again, this time by Jacy. She came back and I knew for sure she was broken. The suicide attempt confirmed my thoughts.

Again I was proven wrong.

I didn't know anything about being broken. About being destroyed, desecrated, demolished, obliterated.

Until I saw her eyes.

I walked in right after Navi in the throne room. Neither of them saw me.

I don't know how Hannah did it, how she killed the kings and queen and posed them on their thrones. I don't think she did it alone.

But I do know one thing for sure.

I saw Navi truly break. I saw her truly be destroyed as she fell to her knees.

It was terrifying, the moment Navi started laughing. She stood and with out any remorse beheaded Hannah.

Without a flinch she picked up her head, and laughed.

"Navi?"

The head still in her hands Navi turns to me a happy-go lucky smile on her face.

"Oh hey Annie! One second I've got to get some guards to clean this mess. Then we need to start funeral arrangements." Navi starts as she then calls over some maids to clean the mess up. She throws Hannah's head ti the floor.

Navi walks to me a smile on her face, yet I can't get over her eyes.

Lifeless.

"Hey Annie, would you like to be in the council? Actually scratch that, would you like to be head council?"

Well it would make it a lot easier to keep an eye on her.

"Yes."

"Great! Its settled you are head of council. This is going to be fun!" Navi started as she grabs my arm excitedly.

I try to avoid looking at the dead bodys as men come and gently carry them away.

"Come, we have paper work to so to make it official." Navi states as she starts to walk away.

"Um yeah I'll catch up. I need to change." I state as I point to my night clothes.

"Oh yeah okay silly meet you in the room!" Navi then quickly walks away.

I stand down the hall, around the corner from Navi's office, pacing.

"Is Navi okay?" I turn and see a worried looking Riley and Daniel.

Daniel's eyes are blood shot and puffy from crying. His hair is greasy, probably from running his hands through it to many times since he has found out about Bains and Bains parents death.

"Did we get the bastard that did this?" Daniel growls.

I sigh at Daniel's question, I lick my lips. "Hannah, it was Hannah, hannah is dead."
