My Beloved Queen

CHAPTER 5

A/N:-

Dear readers,

I am so sorry for not uploading for so long. I just started high school and I am buried six feet under with homework.I hope you guys understand and I will try to upload as much as possible. Nevertheless, I am so happy to dedicate this chapter to my sweet & sexy best friend iqrashaikh1732. Also the poem below is written by her which I feel is beautiful and amazing.

Do delicate in appearance,
Beauty and grace confined,
Conscious of what they handle,
And love ever so divine,
Human in essence ,
But not so human in vain,
They contain feelings,
But cannot weep when plucked.
Close to earth they stand,
In the bright golden sun,
But pale they fall once plucked.
The only quality that makes them human,
The only quality worth,
For they must be kept shielded,
Before they wilt with hurt,
Strong they seem without.
But how long can flowers be strong,
For a thousand storm await them,
And a thousand left behind.

KEESHA

My head pounding, body aching and memories blurred, I was trapped in a dark and lonely place. I couldn't find anything. I yelled and thrashed around in the hopes that maybe I would find someone or something..... anything to get me out of this dark place. However, all my efforts seemed to be in vain. Nobody came to help.....to save me. I was hopeless at this point.

But then, I see light..... It seemed to be radiating from someone, more particularly a man. The closer the guy came to me, the clearer I could see. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was the green-eyed god. The one who tried to kill Joey. He also bit me and muttered something about me being his. Why the hell did he bite me? Like dude...... I don't even know you. I just saw you for the first time this morning. And what yours? I am not a property or some kind of thing to be owned by you or anyone at all. 

He walks towards me with that signature smirk-smile of his. I try to move back but my body once again refuses to listen to me. I am entranced by those eyes, they represent so many things. I could see years worth of pain, anxiety, hopelessness and so many emotions that just a look was enough to overwhelm you for a lifetime. Yet, somehow I wasn't. It was I like I understood them.....understood him. It was okay for him to show his vulnerability in front of me.

He stands in front of me, holds my hands and smiles, a genuine smile which reached his eyes. That smile, it made me melt. I could do anything for him without questioning if he smiled like that. Thank the Gods that he didn't actually smile that in front of me in real life. And then his image flickered, and then it was gone and in his place was....was mom. I hugged her so hard that my ribs had started to pain. "Don't cry Keesha." I hadn't realized that I was crying. I wipe my tears with the sleeves of my t-shirt.

"Mom, I am sorry. I am so so sorry. I got you and dad killed. It was my fault. Only if....only if-"

"Stop blaming yourself dear. It was not your fault. It was our destiny. Your dad's and mine. We're happy and together. Don't worry about us. Now is not the time to talk about such stuff. What I have come to say to you is that you have to accept your fate Keesha. Don't fight it. It is your destiny and you have to fulfill it before the world falls unto the grave danger waiting for it. Only you can save it, save them. So please accept him and take care my dear. We are looking after you from up above. So don't you ever think you are lonely." She said just as her image started flickering and then she was gone.

"No, don't go," I wake up with my arms extended tears running down my cheeks. I felt a bit dizzy and my body ached. I couldn't remember how did I even ended up in my bed when suddenly all my memories came back to me. I remembered how that green-eyed guy had sunk his 'fangs' in me. I manage to get down my bed and go stand in front of the mirror in my room.

I had two puncture marks in my neck but there was no blood there and it looked as if I had those since a long long time. I was even in the same clothing I was wearing when I went to school. How was that even possible when I clearly remember bleeding and fainting in the porch-way. Who even brought me up here? It might have been either Joey or Damon.

I make my way downstairs and find Joey and Damon in the kitchen along with the green-eyed guy. What the hell was he even doing here? And why did Damon and Joey even let him in. They stop talking as soon as I enter.

"Keesha, you feeling better now?" Damon asked me as if I had a minor cold or headache which I believe I did not.

"Scar, princess what happened?" Joey asked me making me sit on the kitchen stool next to him. But I was not even paying them any attention, the green-eyed guy had all my attention...for now. As I make my way over to Joey, I see that angry, murderous look flash in the green-eyed guy's eyes again.

"I don't know. All I remember is fainting in the porch-way. Who found me?" I say neatly skipping the him biting and me bleeding part. Even if I did tell them about it, they'd probably think I was delusional.

"Joey and Jeremy found you fainted at the doorstep with all your books scattered. Thankfully it was them and not someone else or God knows what would have happened to you," Damon told me with a relieved expression on his face. But what didn't settle with me was the fact that how did they even know the green-eyed guy and what the hell happened to all the blood that I bled out.

"Oh yes, I totally forgot to introduce you guys. Keesha, this is Jeremiah, he's a new student in our class and Jeremiah, this is Keesha, my best friend." Joey said putting his hand around my shoulder. I see the Jeremiah clench his fists when Joey put his hand around me, nonetheless he still put a forced smile on his face and extended his hand forward.

"Hi," he said as I shook his hand, "It's nice to meet you," he said kissing the back of my hand. I quickly pull my hand back and reply with a small hey. "Don't mind her Jeremy, she's just shy around new people," Joey said waving it off and then looked at me," so princess, if you're feeling okay now, should we continue with the movie night plan?" I nodded my head at that. "Jeremy would join us today. I hope you don't mind that." And with that he went to start the movie I had told him to bring along.

I eat some of the snacks that Damon had given me and then went to my sofa, the one with the most pillows and a throw-over blanket. All the while Jeremiah was staring at me like a hawk and nobody except me seemed to notice that. He too came and sat across soon enough while Damon left since he had a date with someone. I'll ask him about that later.
