Princess Of Hell

Chapter 43

My eyes bulged as I watched the scene unfold before me. Valene held a knife to Odette's throat, and fury rose within me. I refused to let Valene ruin my family! She already took Cassie away from me! She can't take Odette too!

I gathered all my power and it rushed to the surface, filling my veins with an anger one can only feel when someone attacks their loved ones.

"Get away from my sister you sick beast!" I yelled, glaring at Valene with hatred and disgust. She smirked and pushed the knife deeper into Odette's throat, emitting a low whimper from her. My anger and fear escalated as Odette screamed at me to help. Valene continued to push the knife deeper into Odette's throat until blood spurted out. Odette let out one final screech and fell limp onto the red rusty ground. I felt water welling up in my eyes before a storm of fury overtook me.

"You sick bitch!" I yelled at Valene, who held the knife which had Odette's blood to her eyes, examining it. She smirked at me.

Before either of us could do anything, I was pushed back and blacked out.

I awoke from my spot on the ground with a start. When my eyes adjusted to my surroundings, I found I was back in the sword room. The cold ground could be felt under my dress and on my skin and sent chills down my spine.

You completed the first test of the sword of truth! Now, find which one it is and when you do, you'll be taking a little trip down memory lane! Azalea said into my mind, making me cringe. I did not like going down memory lane, it hurt just thinking about it. But, I had to be strong to save the entire world from Valene.

I got up on my knees and stood, looking around the room. With my wobbly legs, I began to circle around the pedestals where the swords were held, looking for any sword that wasn't in here before. When I reached a corner, a small glimmer caught my eyes and I looked to see a long, sparkling sword on a plain silver pedestal. The sword was beautiful. It had amethysts encircling the hilt and the sword itself was a golden color. I walked towards it and touched the hilt gently, but was pulled into a deep place in my mind, as if the sword was examining me.

I was in the deepest part of my mind, watching my life as if I was watching a movie unfold in front of me.

I watched as my mother held a baby in her arms. She had a big smile on her face as she rocked it gently, cooing to it all the while. Four year old Vivian and Kayden ran over to mom, both asking to hold the baby. Mom handed the baby to both Kayden and Vivian, who smiled down at the baby with excitement in their eyes.

"What are you going to name her?" Kayden asked, looking at mom while holding the baby.

Mom smiled and looked at Kayden lovingly.

"Her name shall be Titania."

Both Kayden and Vivian nodded their heads eagerly, looking down at the baby who had just been handed back to mom.

I watched as a little girl, not even a year old, crawled around on the floor of a nursery, giggling.

"Titania! It's time for bed!" Mom yelled at the baby, who was speed crawling now.

Mom sighed and slowly crept up on the baby, picking her off the floor. The baby giggled.

"No, me not want bed!"

Mom sighed and rocked the baby, who was screaming at mom not to make her go to bed.
