His sword drips with blood, splatters of it on the palace floor. The messenger holding the sword is silent, his eyes turned downward. I can hear sobbing behind me, but I do not comprehend it. 

"Dead?"

"Dead." A sob catches within my throat. No, it cannot be true. 

The servant lifts his eyes to view me. His face transforms, the eyes turning to a demonic obsidian. "Oh, but it is true, lovely... And there's no one to prevent your being mine..." His brilliant white teeth make his smile all the more evil. He steps toward me and touches his hand to my cheek. "I told you it would happen this way." Pushing him away, I spot a body, bloodied and bruised. I try to whisper his name but I cannot. I try to tear myself away but am unable to. 

It is him. And I did nothing to prevent it.

Omens of our demise. Dreams that haunt and the fading light of candles for the dead and dying. Is this where fairytales start? Or where they end?

The Pregnant Bride by Avreet_B

"Stay away from my daughters." He said, as the servant guided them away infront of my eyes. The ivory bangles in my arm clinked as I put the flick of my hair behind my ear. This would be what... the second argument for today? "You had a step father in your life, who you admire. Why can't I have that relation with your kids?" I spoke, crossing my arms over my chest, trying hard so that the tears in my eyes don't slip out. "Because I don't want them to be knocked up before they are married." He stated again. He shouldn't have gone there. Badtameez "Like your sister was?" I spoke again. My child maybe illegitimate but it wasn't unwanted. "The guy who knocked her up also married her. Which is not true in your case." He said, and walked out of the room as I sat there alone for the third night in the row. I wanted to call my dad, but I had ended all relations with them on my own free will. What would become of me now? Copyright- No parts of this book shall be copied without my permission.

Two Sides Of The Crown by ABCDream_writer

As I was opening the door, a hand fell on mine, shutting it back. I could feel his presence behind me and I let out a shaky breathe. Then his face was next me. "Are you avoiding me?" He whispered. I quickly shook my head. _______________________________________ I stopped in my tracks when I saw who was sitting on his motorcycle waiting for me outside. I gasped. He looked up from his phone and grinned. "Y-you waited." He shrugged. "How else would you have gotten home. I wanted to make sure you were okay." "But your extra classes-" "Forget it, I was late anyway, princess." He took my hand to help me onto the bike. He sat down as well an I was already grabbing him tight. I can't let go of someone like him. ___________________________________________ "What?" I breathed out. I felt heated breaths on my face which startled me. Instantly, my eyes fell open. Quentin was gazing down at me... but not at me? How do I write this? It was like he was dazed a bit, staring down at something else attached to my face. And that 'something else' was very close to HIS 'something else'. I don't remember who pulled away faster, me or him.

Mute love by lamadhu5

You are angry I know, I know I was wrong, I did wrong, if you are mad then hit me, slap me, punch me, hurt me physically, I would bear that, but don't go away from me, it's hurting me internally. " I parted my lips with an exhale, why is he doing this? No one ever said that to me. Not even my so-called fiance. He showed me my mistakes when I was mad but look at this man. " Do you want me to beg?? " I stepped back when his knees touched the ground " I am on my knees " He held both of his ears with between his thumb and index finger of both of his hands. " I am begging you, please " I kept on staring at him and tears gathered in my eyes. He doesn't need to do such things for me, he shouldn't care, he shouldn't give a shit if I am angry. Because even if he gained my forgiveness, it doesn't mean anything , I can't go back to him , why should I? " Why are you staring at me, please say something , Anshika?? " I stepped back, one two three... ... . . After three steps I turned around to run, I can't find a better option at this point, but I could not, when I felt a steel grip on my wrist " Please stop it!! " this is love story of mute girl and heart broken cold man who used to be the sweetest person once

The Prince's Assassin by Sian2468

The blade of my hidden knife stops just a few centimetres from the prince's warm skin of his neck. He lays there, eyes closed and rhythmic breathing. His defined jaw relaxed and his teeth barely showing behind his pink lips. I hear voices coming from the hallway. I glance up at the door then back to the sleeping Prince. The door handle rattles, the guards yell from behind the wall. I bite my lip, balancing the blade just on the skin of the prince's neck. The door bursts open just as I slip out of the bedroom window into the cool midnight, no evidence of my attempt to assassinate the prince. ~~~~~~~~~~ Trained Assassin, skilled in over 4 martial arts, specialised in weaponry and one on one combat... And I couldn't kill the prince. So my question is, what stopped me? ____________________________________ "My chest literally hurts.

The Dark Realm by Nooshjunior

Published: 10-April-2020 Prologue: "He was an old man, probably died on his own. Did the letter say that he was killed?" I was asked. When I heard what had been said, my face turned yellow. Something I had been blind to suddenly became so clear. I had mentioned visiting that man, but i never mentioned that he was killed. Nor did I mention receiving a letter. "How did you know he died?" I asked. "You told me, silly." "No I didn't. And I never said anything about a letter." I said firmly. Emma fell asleep on the plane and woke up in a mythical kingdom. The place was spoken about in legends and myths only, but it doesn't exist on any map. While trying to open the passage between the realms, she meets a man who might be able to change her mind about leaving. However, she keeps getting threats from an unknown stalker who kills her loved ones one by one. But would returning to her home end her problems, or would the stalker still torment her?

A Love To Die For by fallenangel_heaven

What happens when a young woman, cursed with the tragic fate that every man she fells in love with dies, falls hard for a childhood friend? "Forget me... just leave me alone . I can't love you...you'll die because of me," she sobbed, her voice trembling as she burried her face in her hands, trying to hide the tears. He moved her hands from her face, his touch gentle yet firm. As her tear-stained cheeks were revealed, he held her chin, lifting it so her eyes met his. His gaze, filled with deep affection and quite determination, locked onto hers. He cupped her face "i'd rather die than live a single day without your love," he whispered his voice low but resolute. "Don't push me away, because the only way i'd ever die is if you tell me you don't love me."

The Bound Princess (Dark Romance) by AlizaJabri

"Strip." I felt like I misheard him, but his hardened features said otherwise. I gulped down the lump in my throat and moved my hands to my back to unzip my wedding dress. "Princess, I suggest you to hurry," his golden eyes bore into mine, making the bottom of my stomach drop. I turned my back to him as I pulled down the zipper, but his growl made my hands tremble, "Keep facing me." I turned to face him, suppressing my tears and holding onto what was left of my dignity. "When I said strip, it meant not a stitch or piece of cloth on your body," he said as I stepped out of my dress that pooled around my feet. "Why are you making me do this?" My voice came out shaky, and my chin wobbled. "I own you, remember, Princess?" He reminded, rolling his tongue, with an evil smirk on his face and a predatory glint in his eyes.

'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted.

I have tears in my eyes; one is running down my cold cheek. I see his eyes widen and him falling to his knees beside the tub. He grasps my left arm forcefully, his eyes wide with fear. "You will never have me..." My voice breaks, but I manage to force out the words that are edged in my mind, and in my heart. "I curse you, everything you ever love shall die, everything you ever try shall fail, everything you ever wish for shall be denied you, my curse will ruin you, but the gods... the gods will end you..." I draw in a shaky breath, and gather the last of my strength. "The gods are as sardonic as they are vengeful... You shall die by the hand of The Spirit Warrior..." In the few moments after I say those words, there is utter silence and the only thing I hear is the sound of my blood hitting the water in the tub, which is already painted red. I see him opening his mouth and yell at me, yelling my name, but I hear nothing. I close my eyes and I feel only the blood steadily dropping from my wrist. "Put me in the same coffin..."

His other arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. "No you wont!" I spat angrily at him, my body gradually welcoming in his warmth. I hate him.
