The king’s form disappeared and I was left staring at thin air. My whole body was sticky from sweating so much in my sleep. All I needed was to soak in warm water filled with my oils and shower gel, music playing in the speakers. My eyes closed with the picture in my mind but as I opened my eyes they fell on the long legs of the queen covered by something that I guessed to be a white robe and behind her was the river that waited for me. My body was protesting, it being nice being here but now that I had no other option it was suddenly not so nice.“Go bath. I have your robes, I have already bore through much torture at staring at your bare body” The queen said, cheeky as always. I wished I could say that I had gotten used to her snaky comments but I had not and did not think I ever would, she seemed determined to make me regret the day I wed her son.“Go on now, I don’t have all day.” The queen came
It was a few minutes later when I walked out. My hair cascaded down my back with water falling from it. It’s silver colour was bright and vibrant, everything about me bright and vibrant.I walked up to the group, the queen still on her story, probably telling another one though because how long can a story be?“Sorry to disturb your majesty but can I have the robes?” I asked with the queen not saying anything back. I stood there, shifting my weight from side to side wishing I could disappear and never exist. I knew we were all supposed to be free with our bodies but it was just so uncomfortable and humiliating. I waited and after a long while she stood up and turned to stare at me.The queen’s face lingered, taking me up and down having me sigh and clench my fists wishing I could just smash her. She stared at me or I guess she was because I could not really see her face with her shine too bright.
I happily sighed, my eyes still closed as I turned with a wide smile on my face. My body was tingling, the sun bathing on us as we lay down. He held me tight as if afraid I would vanish in his arms. When last had I had a good night sleep? I did not know but I had just had the best sleep in my life. Lips brushed against mine having me giggle as I stretched my arms with my eyes still lazy to open.“Morning.” I said with my eyes fluttering open with his eyes being the first thing I came to see and what a beautiful sight to wake up to, something for my sore eyes as my day was made just from staring at him. The sun shone on his face, having him look dashing and angelic. I could not help but blush as my body was brought closer to his chest. We were in our cave, my new home, the thought having me groan. I liked this place, I really did but not for being there for whatever months.“Do you know how long this pregnancy will take?&rdq
The animal was decomposing, flesh peeling from the bone with a smell that had me coughing hard. The grass surrounding it was dying, having me scramble away so far until I hit a rock. I did not know what to do, my body shaking so bad with shock having hit hard. Tears fell through, not knowing what had happened. Time passed with no one coming. No one came even after the longest time having me to begin screaming. I could not move. My limbs were paralyzed, scared the storm would come back and finish me off. My mind kept screaming for me to get up and run for the cave yet I could not move. It seemed as if I had been bolted on the ground. I sat there, my eyes not moving from the animal with the fear of it coming back to life and eating me. The sun went by, my heart beating so fast even after such a long time. My stomach was emptied over and over again, the smell getting more pronounced with more grass and trees dying as if the animal carried poison that was spreading through the garden.
I sat in the dry ground, my legs crossed with a white robe covering my body as my head hung so low. The witches were in a circle around me, they were chanting with the voices so low and so gently like a siren’s song. The whole vampire race in the coterie was here, some standing with some sitting down, defeated just as I was. I had screamed and screamed with the king running so fast, capturing my convulsing body in his arms. He had shouted, screamed on what I had been doing out there but the pain had been too much for me to even say anything.So many spells had been done with none working, blood just flowing through my legs with the life sucked from my baby. The witches had reached us soon after the king, joining in chants but nothing working. The relief came after the witch queen had arrived. She drew one spell with the pain taken away. Her tongue had been sharp with each bind of the spell, shouting and lashing so hard at me with not even husband at my res
I gave the king time to go through his motions. He stood there for the longest of time, sitting down on the ground with every one still waiting.I cleared my throat, knowing I had to say something.“Can I have all your attention please?” I tried to speak up even though it was unnecessary, looking at that they were all supernatural species with enhanced hearing. They soon turned, making their way near the circle around me. No one said a thing. Gregory, the king’s second along with Glenda walked over to the king and just stood near.“I know all of you are worried and confused. We are sorry for having all of you in the dark for so long. There was a situation where I was nearly killed but luckily the baby and I made it through. I am fine and the baby is too with the confirmation from the king’s mother. We ask for patience and support. More will be said after some discussions and we just want to
“Anastasia,” The voice was so near, so near my hair floated. A shiver ran through my body with the goose bumps rippling through my skin. I stood where I was, frozen in place. Here we were again, each time getting more horrific than the last. I did not know what to do, did not know if this was punishment or some sick prank someone was playing on me. My hands shook, fear so much I choked on air, my eyes taking every inch of the dark room. I could hear the plop of the water a distance away, could feel the souls drift all around me, leaving me shaken to no end.I closed my eyes and opened them yet nothing happened. My heart beat from my throat so much so I could not even scream for help having me panic even more. I could feel it, the beast breathing behind me. The longer we stood, the harsher it would breathe, having me shake like a leaf.“It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream.” I kept saying in my head, closin
I oiled my skin, wore some leggings and the king’s large t-shirt which I could not help but bring to my nose and take a whiff of him. My mind went cloudy, my eyes shut with no hope of opening. What I felt was beyond explaining. He was the air I breathe. He was my world and I just could not wait to lay my eyes on him again. I walked out with my hair pulled back, feeling it bounce on my back, it having such volume, being one of the features I liked about myself. My eyes looked up, ready for my day to be ruined. The queen sat in her tub chair, weaving. I walked out slowly, my feet kissing the cold floor. My hand went to my stomach, brushing it as my heart skipped a beat. How lucky could I be? I could not even fathom all that I had been blessed with. I got to the foot of the bed, seeing all the messy sheets. There was no other option than to make the bed yet never had I been so nervous. I was making the bed in front of the queen witch who criticized everything I did and making a b
