MELINA

chapter nineteen

After a little while, Melina came out of the room and went to Noe's room. As she started knocking on the door to wake her brother up, she heard a clap and turned around. Standing before her were the king, queen, Olivia, Ashley and Nylah. Fear ripped through her because she had nowhere to run, no place to hide and nothing was forming up in her head. Noe opened the door sleepily without knowing what was going on "Mel, hey how are..." he saw all the people in front of him and he kept quiet.
The king spoke up "Melina, so this is what you have been doing? You have finally succeeded in bewitching your brother. I have no choice but to send you to the dungeon". Melina started pleading and did not know what to say. As she bent, the second half of the other piece of paper about the prophecy fell out of the pocket of the tattered dress she was wearing.
"What is this?" Olivia said as she picked it up. She handed it over to the king and he spoke out in amazement "so you are the enemy the old woman told us about? You know the saying 'all days are for the thief, one day is for the owner'. Today you have been found out and you will pay for it. I will make sure you rot in that dungeon until your skeleton does not even remain".
Noe became very angry and threw all caution to the wind, "Father, I will not allow this nonsense to happen again. I have been watching you for the past seventeen years torturing my sister and making her a slave in her own palace! Where is your heart father? How can you be so wicked?" King Arthur saw red and slapped his son. He was fuming with anger, queen De'arra started crying, Nylah was looking very sober, Olivia and her daughter were the only ones smiling. The king spoke "Noe, it is very clear that you have been bewitched by this little witch right here. I do not blame you for your actions. Guards! Get this girl out of here!
Melina was crying as the guards dragged her out of the palace and led her to the dungeon. Noe entered his room and slammed the door. Nylah followed him into the room. He turned and saw her behind him. "What do you want here? I do not want to see any one of you near me. Get out of here before I lose my temper"! Nylah shook with fear but she did not leave. "Actually Noe, I came here to apologize for everything that I have ever done to my sister, Melina. I feel very sad and I have decided to stand by you. We must find a way to get her out of the dungeon. I do not know what Olivia is up to and I am going to find out".
Noe was surprised but happy at the same time. "I have seen that you have decided to come to your senses and, I am very happy about it. Yes, we will get Melina out of there whether they like it or not. There is more to Melina than the eye can see".
"Yes Noe, I have a feeling that Melina is not the enemy that the old man talked about, she is the friend. I think Olivia is the enemy, but Father will never listen let alone, believe me".
"Don't worry Nylah, we will figure it out", Noe said. Before his sister left his room, he told her that he had a lot to tell her the next day. He told her that she was going to be shocked.
