DECEMBER 2009. A FEW WEEKS LATER ON A COLD WINDY NIGHT.
SHAWNA'S POV:
It was past 11:30 at night it was cold and windy when I was standing nearby the window and gazing at the stars above the sky, which was looking so beautiful and mesmerizing at the same time. But something was there about the night, which was making me feel heavy-hearted. I don't know was it because of the lie that I told my family, or the doubt and fear that I have on my mind.
Yes, I lied to them that I don't remember anything, whereas I clearly remember what happened that night, how I helped Mr. Ben to escape that place, and how I got attacked. Was it not for Dekker, that I wouldn't be alive by now?
He came at the right time to save me. I have thanked him personally. I am not scared now that he would speak the truth to my Grandma, if it was the case he would have
BRAD'S POV: I was standing near the tree, a little away from them, watching her giggling and laughing with that boy. Yes, I saw her getting bullied, my blood boiled seeing her in that condition, I was still in a debate with myself whether to act recklessly or to handle the situation maturely, I even informed the guards to come. When her eyes met mine, I saw how much she needed me, I didn't want to wait more and I was about to come forth but a guy came and took her by hands leavening me there all dumbfounded. Before I could act and understood, she was gone. I followed them immediately, I thought she would yank his hands off, but instead, she was laughing and giggling with him. I can see him flirting with her, to which she gladly responded too. I clenched my fist in anger and punched the nearest tree, gaining her attention towards me. She turned around and lo
PRIAM'S POV: I cannot take it anymore, is she ignoring me? Is Jennifer right? No, it cannot be. There must be something wrong. But why did she ignore me for Dekker? I was about to ask her to be my partner, but before I could, she left from there with Dekker. what is going on? Does she love him? So what if he saved her, I am glad he did but what makes her fall for him and not for me? Does she regret kissing me that day? Oh god, Why do I feel so insecure about this? Is this happening for real? I can't think of anything right now as I was angry to see Dekker taking her away. I want to slit his throat right there but I was bound to keep silent. Maybe it was her... She chose him... Over me... Jennifer was clinging on to me. I did not like her attitude at all. I watched Shawna go away as Jennifer said with her fake worried face-" Priam, I understa
PRIAM'S POV: I left the party while looking for her, I know what I am doing is not worth it anymore, the more I try, the more I will get hurt in the end. She doesn't have any feelings for me. She chose Dekker over me, but for some reason, I want to follow her, I want to see her again, hold her again. I want her to be mine. If even it not so, I want to make sure she is safe and I am doing that right now. I heard someone calling my name from behind as I turned back and saw Brad was panting running towards me. He said-" Wait up for me" I asked-" Brad? What are you doing here?" He replied while catching his breath-" I think something is wrong." I asked with a concerned voice-" what do you mean?" He replied while keeping his one hand on my shoulder-" They are in danger" I asked hurridly-" what? how? wait, what are
JUNNIE'S POV: I can't believe we fell into the trap!!! If not for Brad and Priam, I don't know what would have happened to me and Shawna... Maybe it's my fault too... I should have not listened to her and have informed someone elder... That way maybe... Nevertheless, we were saved by Mr. Ben Dunnie. Shawna trusts him, I don't know what makes her do so... But as I have seen so far... He cannot be a criminal.. maybe that is why she chose to help him. The danger had faded... They were gone...Brad Picked me up in his arms to take me to the nurse. I was a little shocked by his behavior and my heart was beating so fast seeing him up so close. It felt like my heart will jump out of my chest. I am pretty sure, he could hear my heartbeat which was out loud. I gasped a little as he picked me, and I looked at his face to see only a frown and concern. Is he worried abo
SHAWNA'S POV: I was sitting on the corner of the bed waiting impatiently for my grandmother and dad. I was scared of thinking about what should I tell them? Do they know about Ben Dunnie? No, they cannot know about him possibly, Nobody knew about him yet apart from my friends. I was a little afraid of thinking what if Jennifer and her friends saw him, but I was relieved to hear they were unconscious at that time. I was waiting while looking at the door impatiently when Grandma comes inside along with dad. She immediately rushed to me while hugging me saying-" Oh my dear, I was so scared when I heard about the incident." She looked at me, carefully trying to locate any bruises, to check if I am hurt. I gave her a smile of assurance saying-" Grandma, I am okay, I am your granddaughte
SHAWNA'S POV: His kingdom was indeed bigger and stronger than ours, and also his father and mother are wise kings and queens. They did not show off their powers as they ruled the kingdom with grace and love just like their children. The people here seemed happy. Our country was stronger for grandma, but dad is alone without a queen in his beside, which had affected his status and his mental health too. I can now understand why the queen is equally important as the king in a kingdom, she gives strength to him while he is busy ruling the kingdom. Nevertheless, My father had never been discouraged towards his responsibilities but I am sure he misses mom very much. I wished if mom was here she would have hugged me too as Priam's mother did. She would have been proud of me too... I would have told her all that was going on inside me. A drop of tear escaped from my eyes, with the thought of her. I heard someone knocks at my door as I turned around to find his mom s

[Kingdom of Quinn] Somwhere In the dark palace TECCA'S POV: Tecca-" Master, I have arranged everything" I replied while bowing down before a shadow ???2-" I have heard that before. Do not make me disappointed this time." She hissed in anger. Tecca-" I dare not master, This time, we shall succeed and you shall be reborn again" I replied with a low tone while still bowing towards her. ???2-" Make sure, everything falls in place, I have waited for 300 years for this moment. This time, while the power of the moon and sun hold as one in that day, I shall reborn, and shall be invincible." She spoke while laughing like a devil. Tecca-" I shall make sure of that this time, we have already threatened her for the war, and soon we will be meeting in person, for which, we will divert them in the war while you shall have the key m
