DEATH OF A QUEEN

"This prophecy will surely come to pass and there shall be no stopping it." Mirabelle sighed heavily while her hands ruffled her hair braid lines. Her closest companion,Jacob only stood by her watching the former alpha wallow in confusion and sorrow.

The cold wind that blew across the forest sent shivery shocks down his spine at the thought of Nicodemus. In times past he was good at advising Mirabelle,showing her the ways when she went wrong but this time he was just as dumbfounded as his leader.

"My Desires has caused me my downfall. I let that bastard tribrid outsmart me,Now I'm in trouble. Once the Supernatural community hears of my betrayal they shalt waste no time slaying me neither can I side with Nicodemus. His cunningness is beyond normal." She glanced at him briefly before resigning to the woods.

"What do you plan to do now?" Jacob asked with concern. He knew that regardless of her fall she'd remain firm.

She held his gaze with an emotionless look.

"Surety,Nicodemus is spying on me because he knows I can never join his army. There's only one way to escape this downfall." They both shared deep gazes. "I have to die." 

She watched Jacob's eyes widen with evident disagreement boldly written on his face.

"No way!!" He yelled.

"I have to die by the Tribrid's hands. I'll have a witch place a protection spell on me so that when I die I'll come back to life but the supernatural community and Nicodemus himself will think I'm dead." She had a sad smile worn on her face.

"At least that gives me a lot of time to execute a plan to dethrone the bastard."

Jacob's face formed into a smile.

"I'm with you all the way but how do we get Nicodemus kill you?" He asked.

A sinister grin complemented her face.

"That will be an easy task." She rubbed her palms together.

***********

"I asked you to protect my pack but instead,you came along with them to fight my war." Nicodemus uttered with coldness filling his tone as he stood with his hands crossed at the back. He stood face to face with his Gamma whose eyes remained glued to the ground.

"It is my duty to protect my Alpha,whether you asked me or not to protect the pack my primal instincts is to protect you always!" A smile came across his face as he watched his Gamma defend his stance.

"Are you trying to prove your loyalty to me?" Nicodemus asked,only then did his Gamma look up at him. 

"Yes Alpha!" He exclaimed.

Nicodemus heart fluttered as he heard those words;this was the first person to ever accept him ever since he came.

"What is your name?" 

His Gamma's face burned with joy at his sire finally showing a bit of affection.

"Greece..." 

Nicodemus tapped his shoulder with passionate eyes.

"From this moment onwards,I consider you my friend. Greece." He finished with a grin.

"Alpha!" One of the guards stormed into the cabinet. "Behold,Mirabelle has turned rebellious against you. She has with her a group of rebellious hybrids too!." The guard finished with 

his head facing the ground.

Nicodemus smiled in return before crossing his arms at his back. He took a glance at his Gamma before facing his guard again.

"I knew it won't be long before she rebels but thank her stars,for I am in the mood to shed blood." He uttered before walking away.

He stepped out into the woods alongside Greece before the rest of the guards joined him,waiting for his orders.

"Should we ask the witches to cast a spell to find her?" Greece asked midway.

"Hmmm..." Nicodemus breathed out. "Let them be. I want only you and some hybrid warriors to accompany me on this hunt. I want them to watch how gracefully I will devour their former leader." A sinister grin complemented his face while he walked deeper into the woods.

"You heard him!. Let's move." Greece ordered.

*************

He sniffed the air again before disappearing in an instant. He used his vampiric speed to navigate through the branches he trotted past till he arrived a cleared land in the middle of trees.

"I really liked your sense of reasoning but it's too bad you have to die." Said Nicodemus as Mirabelle and her hybrids surrounded him.

"This was inevitable handsome lad. I have been a leader for a century now,loosing it to you is a shame I can't bear." She smiled happily.

Nicodemus laughed briefly.

"Surety,you must know you're outnumbered. Even this army of yours is too small to fight me." He uttered,referring to the hundreds of hybrids that surrounded him.

"One thing I wonder..." She Stated whilst Greece and the others finally arrived.

"At such a young age, you're ridiculously strong." She finished.

"Alpha!, you're too fast." Greece whispered but Nicodemus paid no attention.

"One thing I also wonder is...why you are doing this. You're cunning Mirabelle,and I know all this you're doing is part of a plan but let me tell you something,no matter how far you go or have gone...I am inevitable,I will always be one step ahead of you. Mirabelle." Nicodemus tone hardened before his claws grew out and his eyes changed to it's commanding red with black veins popping out at the sidelines. He let out a growl as her eyes changed to an icy blue with veins popping out too while the others too let out their golden yellow glow ready to attack.

The woods that was once silent soon turned into a round of threatening growls.

Nicodemus let out a powerful roar before launching at her with his speed and so the battle began. 

His impact threw her to the neighbouring tree which almost collapsed. He appeared to her face,pinning her to the tree as he held her by the neck. She struggled with him but it was no use instead he growled louder before burying his fangs deep into her neck. 

She let out a shrieking sound that pierced through the ears of others. She could feel him feeding off her body but then he pulled out immediately and all she could see was his monstrous eyes. He grabbed her by the neck that slowly healed up again,he carried her above the grounds before throwing Her to the grounds causing a sand cloud to form around her.

Even in pain,even when she knew she'd lost,she didn't expect such painful experience. Nevertheless,she arose weakly only to find him appearing in her front again.

Gamma Greece and the rest watched in horror at the ongoing fight Mirabelle was purely loosing.

She smiled one last time and in an instant his hand pierced through her chest reaching for her heart.

She coughed up blood as she felt his hand grip her heart.

"We..." She stuttered. "We'll meet again,handsome lad" She forced every last nerve of hers to smile before he pulled it out!. 

She let out a gasp before falling to the ground lifelessly and her body slowly desiccating. 

He took a proper glance at her heart before dropping it to the ground with no iota of remorse.

"Spread the word,Mirabelle the Queen of the hybrids is dead."
