Death's Return For The Royalty

chapter eightheen - Warning

"Let us celebrate for my wonderful Ariel and our soon to be born daughter Saphire !" Nathaniels voice boomed across the great hall.

Celebrations were put on right away the same night and i was glued to Nates side at all times. Catching a glimpse of Death's sad emerald eyes here and there, standing on the side with a bottle in hes hand.

"Please Lord may we borrow your beautiful princess ?" The crew members stood in a circle around us, Archie reaching out hes hand.

A giggled giving him my hand not hesitating and waiting for Nathaniels answer as i was pulled away. Music and claps filled the hall, we stomped out feet to the beat and danced like there was no tomorrow.

My maroon dress skirt flowed behind me, swaying side to side. The crew men took turns in dancing with me, each twirled me around until i begged from laughter to stop. I let my inner Sirene loose, leaving the wonderful sensation and energy flow through my body.

The table top appeared under my feet with the music only getting louder, the beat of stomping feet and clapping hands circled the hall. I kicked off whatever was in my way and pulled a randomer up with me, the randomer being Death.

He gave me a curious look, raising hes eyebrow before i twirled around clapping my hands together. The night started off so boring, stuck by Nates side like a good royalty. But we must all face the fact i was never going to be like that, i craved for adventure, for life.

A grip around my wrist made me turn back, falling into a chest. I smiled up at the green eyes as danced around the long, now destroyed table. He dipped my body down, my hair flowing behind me as my laughs continued.

I spun around pressing my back into hes hard chest, hes grip tightening. The burning sensation of hes touch came by hard to not notice as we spend the night dancing to the different beats and delightful mood around us.

The night ended when everyone passed out and i started yawning and walked back to my room, Nathaniel safely guarding me by my side. When i looked back the last time once again caught sight of sad emerald eyes as Death stood still watching us leave.

I got woken up by a constant crackling sound outside the balcony thinking it was Sirena stretching or one of her weird habbits. But she was nowhere to be seen, I was alone with a breeze passing by.

"You will come to the Unknown Mountains tomorrow when every sleeps. Alone." The sudden voice made me whip around only to be met by darkness.

"Who are you ?" Goosebumps lined my bare skin, my voice suprisingly hard.

"You will find out tomorrow child. I do warn you though, do not try and take someone with you. Or else, well. Think of your family." Within seconds i no longer felt the presence of someone else and i was left alone staring into space.

My hand rested on my flat stomach, the other placed on the cold concrete of the railing keeping me standing. I knew what he ment by family, how disgustingly that word rolled off hes tongue.

Yet i already knew this was going to happen, i knew i would have to go alone and leave others behind.

It was time and i was ready to end this goddamm thing forever.
