ELINNAThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was how bright the sun was, yet I was cold. My body felt so damn weak, like all the blood had been drained from my body. I struggled to keep my eyes open and the pain in my throat showed it self when I tried to swallow. What the hell was going on and where was I ? Why did it feel like I had been hit by a ship? If I tried to even think about anything, my head would hurt more so I didn't even bother about it. That sickly feeling overwhelmed me that I stayed in that position just trying not to pass out again. Eventually, I heard the door open and I sighed in relief that someone was in the room. “My Queen! You're awake!”Why did she have to be so damn loud?Before I could say anything again, I heard her run out of the room and leave me alone. Great. Why was she so happy that I was awake though? That didn't matter, I just wanted her to come back and help me sit up. I was so hungry and thirsty so I was going to need food too. As my ey
CARLISLE“Doctor, thank you for coming by to check on her despite your busy schedule. Are you sure she's going to be okay?”The doctor turned around to look at me. “She just seems shaken up but she was severely dehydrated and starved. Her body was already shutting down so she'll need a few days for her body to recuperate. She needs rest and food. If her body can get back to it's former state, then she'll be fine. If not, we have reason to fear. I'll come by everyday to check on her.”I didn't even know if I should be happy. The fact was that she was alive and I was happy about that but when she wasn't waking up, I couldn't fully be happy. I nodded at Lawrence so he could see the doctor out and I went back into the room. There were several machines hooked up to her. The last thing I wanted ees for everyone to know that there was something wrong with the Queen, so I bad the doctor bring everything down here. They were too distracted with the celebrations either ways. She looked lik
ELINNA“Do you think I will not kill you? Do you really think life won't go on without you? I can assure you that surely, the king will mourn your passing. That's if I don't lie to him that you were trying to run away with your lover and that's how you got killed. It won't take him very long to get over your death and move on, I tell you.”I couldn't believe him. Why was he so damn bitter? My body, at this point, was giving up. I could barely say anything because of how dehydrated I was and how much I had almost given up hope of being rescued. I didn't agree to his conditions, that's why he didn't release me. How could I look Carlisle in the face and tell him that I wanted to let him go? That I wanted to divorce him? His heart wouldn't take it, we had been through so much together and I would just walk up and tell him that I wanted a divorce? Well, technically, we were already divorced but telling him that I wanted to.leave after all this time would kill him. Telling him that I wa
CARLISLEThe information that Lawrence had given me had greatly helped. And it had tallied with what I had found out for myself. When I called that meeting, Elder Lincoln was the only one who didn't show up and no one could explain his absence. I sent all the guards out to look for him, making sure they brought him to me alive. The only place he would be was the woods and the woods were a great part of my kingdom. At least, the woods took up more than half of the entire kingdom so I had most of my men out there in the fields. I told the Elders that they would have to do the festival without me. Of course, the Elders wanted an explanation for that but I didn't provide one. It's not like I would be very available myself, I wanted to join them out there in the fields instead of waiting here for an answer. And from what I heard, it had been a success so now, I could focus on what was more important. As I was stepping out of the house, my phone began to buzz in my pocket..I waited
ELINNAI stared at the tray of food at the corner from me. Well, calling that thing food was an honor because the stench was I could only push it further away from me so I don't throw up. But the last time I'd had something to eat was a while ago. I wouldn't take the risk of eating what they gave to me Incase it was poisoned. My body was now very weak and my vision was blurry. I'd screamed for help so much that my throat was now very sore and dry. But I couldn't give up. I didn't know who these people were and what they wanted from me. The fact that they and kidnapped me and not just killed me meant that they wanted me alive for some reason. Why though? Ir didn't do anything nor do I know anyone who hated me. My mind had been running all over the place. Being in this cell was making me lose track of time. Had the ceremony passed? What about Chase? My mum? They would be dead worried by now. Damn, Carlisle would be losing his mind now, I knew how he can be. I needed to find a way
CARLISLE“Dad, where did you say mum was?”I looked at Chase, who was playing with his toys, while his grandmother picked up after him. She didn't know about what was going on and I didn't know if I should tell her. I mean, I knew that she was just recovering. Hearing that her daughter had been kidnapped could kill her. “She has a meeting to attend to back in the city..it was really urgent so she asked me to step in for her. I'll be here with you until she gets back.”He finally looked up at me. “That’s okay. I've been wanting to spend time with you for a while. So that means you'll be with me for the ceremoney tomorrow. Sweet!”I smiled at him and turned back to Elinna's mum that was still standing in the room listening to our conversations. If I could fool Chase, I sure as hell couldn't fool her because she would surely ask about her daughter..On my way out, I placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly. I would surely bring her daughter back to her.Just as I s
