_______

Mariah

She waited silently in my bedroom for her father to call her in. But she knew what was happening already. Her family was poor and in desperate need of money and her father was too weak to earn enough from just selling the fruits and  vegetables alone. They needed money. She had 4 siblings, excluding herself, and they needed to be educated, clothed and fed.She didn't blame my father... she could never blame him. She knew deep down that if he had any other option he would have taken it. But he didn't.

Her eyes clouded with tears as she heard the knock on her door. She took a deep breath, picked up her bags before she opened the door. Her father stood there with a sad look in his eyes and she knew he blamed himself for not being able to provide for his family. She shook her head and gave him a small smile mumbling softly " It's okay. I understand".

He shook his head and pulled her in for a hug. She let him hug her and enjoyed the warmth of his fatherly embrace, knowing it would be a while before she had one again. Her mother stood a little further back with her 3 brothers and sister. They were still so young. Her brother Leo being the second oldest at 12, understood what was happening, she could tell he was angry.

"Don't be sad. This is only for now" she told them with a smile before walking out of the small home and following the large man to the carriage. She looked back one last time at her home and promised herself she would come back... one day. She got into the carriage and journeyed to the castle, her fate sealed as she watched her old home disappear into the horizon. It was only then that she noticed all the other young girls  beside her in the carriage, some with tears in their eyes other just staring grimly out the small window and into the sky.

Mariah felt bad for them. It looked as if their parents has sold them too, but they didn't seem too willing. One of them met her eye and she instantly felt afraid, where was the carriage going to? Who had she been sold to?

Eljah threw the lifeless body of his stepmother at his father's feet, his jaw clenched with anger. His fathers eyes widened in fear and pain as he stared down at the body of his wife and unborn child. " H-how could you?" his father  asked his eyes pooling with tears. Elijah titled his head to the side and gave his father a hard glare.

"I warned you". Elijah said pushing his father against the wall and wrapping his hand around his neck."I told you what would happen if you had another child... but you didn't listen. And this is your punishment". Elijah said pointing to the whore's body. "But don't fear, you'll be joining her soon".He said with a sadistic smile before he plunged his hand into his fathers chest and pulled out his still beating heart.

He heard the small sob from the corner of the room and looked to see his half sister standing over her mother's body. He signalled for one of the maids to come and fetch her before he turned and took slow careful steps toward his throne. He heard the quick paced footsteps of the butler as the doors to throne room opened. The butler looked down at the now dead body of his old king and then looked up into the eyes of his new one."Your highness" the butler bowed as Elijah turned to face him.

Elijah took slow careful steps toward the stone and paused slightly in front of it before taking his seat. "Tell the council that my father has passed, tell them he had a heart attack and the medics could not get to him quick enough. His heart stopped beating and because of his previous battles, it wasn't able to restart."The butler nodded his head swiftly. "Of course, your highness."The butler then turned around and left, leaving the new king on his own in the throne room.

Elijah vowed then and there to lead his country to greatness and surpass even his father as the King of all King's. He got up and stopped in front of his fathers body. He took the crown off his head, whipping off the blood before he walked out of the room with a small smile on his face.

He was the new King, and he would rule with power and fear
