Rakia's POV
"What!" Mother lunged for me, gripping my shoulders, "Rakia, No! You don't know what he's capable of."
"He doesn't know what I'm capable of either." I snapped back, pushing her hands off. "I can take him!"
Heavy footsteps thundered on the floor.
Crap. The guards were coming.
"Go!" I yelled at Riley and Granark. "We'll take care of them. You guys need to get out of here as fast as you can."
Granark grabbed Mother's arm but she jerked back. "No! I'm not leaving my daughter behind."
"And we're not leaving you behind either!" Grasping Mother's arm, Riley forcefully yanked her backwards, taking off in the opposite direction of the approaching guards.

Rakia's POVA cocky grin crawled up the big man's face. "Fire!"As soon as the command left his mouth, arrows came flying at us from both directions and before they could reach us, I extended my water tentacles, wrapping my companions and I in ashield of water.The arrows, still locked on target, sunk into the shield. Once they were in, I had full control over them. Moving my hands, I flipped the arrows over and hurled back to the guards at a faster speed. Some were quick enough to block it, others got hit and plunged to the marbled floor.I released us from the shield. "Take care of the guards standing," I instructed the brothers behind me. "I'll handle the big guy.""Are you sure about that?" Uncertainty grazed Clifford's tone.

Rakia's POV"The guards were just telling me about your arrival," Adrian said out loud.The guards, who were much closer to him when I came in, were now drawing closer to me with arrows locked on me as the target.I glared at them. My water tentacles rippled, ready for an attack."Stand down, men," Adrian ordered.Heeding the command, the guards pushed down their bows and arrows.Taking a quick glance around, Adrian quizzed, "Where's Tristan?"At first, there was no answer, then the guard closest to him pointed an accusing finger at me. "She... she killed him. I saw her slam him into a wall several times with those water things on her arms."

Rakia's POVRegret. Remorse. Guilt. Pentinece.I desperately searched for them in my half brother's eyes. But those feelings were basically non-existent. His eyes were a reflection of the brewing anger, hatred and pain dwelling inside of him. He did not regret what he had done. He was not swimming in a pool of guilt. He was satisfied with everything he had brutishly attained. And he was not going to let anyone take it away from him.A blast of ice came flying at me from Adrian's direction and I quickly dodged to the side.Coming up with a counterattack, my arms shot out, drawing enough water from the fountain to create a series of icicles. I shot them all at Adrian but he skillfully moved past them with smooth ease that it began to piss me off. I launched out more of the icicles at a fa

Rakia's POVI moved back to the half-broken sculpture, ready to deliver the first blow. I took a stance, bringing my hands up, but all of a sudden, they wouldn't move."What the heck..." Straining my muscles, I tried pulling my hand down, but it still wouldn't budge. I brought my attention to my legs, attempting to move backwards. But they were both glued to the same spot, and so was my neck when I tried to turn. What in sky blazes is going on? All my body parts were refusing to do my bidding. I wasn't frozen. There wasn't any ice on my body, so why couldn't I fricking move? Panic set in and my eyes darted around, frantically searching for an explanation or some sort of solution."I-I... under... estimated you."My heart jumped upon hearing the voice.

Adrian's POV I can't feel her pulse anymore.My eyes widened.I can't feel her pulse anymore!"Holy shit!" I pulled my hands away and the lifeless corpse dropped into a puddle of water. She's dead... she's finally dead!My heart leaped with joy. "Yes! It's mine!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, stretching my arms out wide. "Hartland is finally mine! Mine and mine alone!" I twirled around and a loud cackle left my mouth. I swear I'd never been this happy my entire life. Everything had finally fallen into place and there was absolutely nothing standing in my way now. I could finally enjoy being king."Oh thank you, sweet sweet Creator!" I dropped

Clifford's POV I couldn't stop thinking about Rakia. After she disappeared behind those double doors, I never saw her again. That uncomfortable feeling that something bad had happened to her kept knawing at my brain. But I couldn't jump up to go find her. The number of guards had increased these past few hours, plus my arm muscles were now sore from constantly swinging my sword. Richard and I had found refuge in an old, dusty storeroom and decided to catch our breath there."Sheesh! I can literally hear your heart threatening to jump out of your chest," Richard remarked in a snarky tone. "Calm down, bro. She's fine." I sat on the floor and swiped sweat off my for

Clifford's POVThe doors were blown wide apart, granting us access to the courtyard."Yes!" Richard and I turned, but the archers took that as cue to release their arrows. Thankfully, Granark hadn't worn himself out. The wizard blasted out three huge balls of fire, turning the arrows into ashes and setting the guards on fire.Ignoring their shouts of pain, my companions and I ran through water and clouds of steam, into a chaotic and messed up courtyard. I felt cold all of a sudden."Wooah," Granark and Richard exclaimed in unison as we all beheld the scene in complete shock.Ice blocks lay everywhere in awkward shapes, sitting in puddles of water. The different topiaries and hedges the gardeners must've spent weeks trimming, had all become wrangl

Clifford's POVKing Reginald moved with a purpose. Every step he took in his daughter's body was poised, swift and precise. There wasn't a drop of water around as we moved through the castle to find Adrian's mother but somehow, King Reginald was able to move the guards out of his way against their will. They'd come charging towards us, then in the flick of a second, they'd freeze, like someone had pressed pause in their brain. They stood still with their eyes wide open, and wouldn't move a muscle until King Reginald let them. And all he would do was to throw them knock them out. Granark insisted that we help him with his...unfinished business. So here we were, tr
