My eyes stayed on the painting right in front of me. I did not know when last I blinked but I could feel the moisture collecting in my eyes as they got sore from staring at the picture with such intensity. I thought about what I was thinking but came up short as I did not know where my thoughts were at. It seemed as if everything had been blurred around me, as if I was taking a focused photo. My hands stayed where they lay on my thigh which rested on my other thigh, having crossed my legs. My sore ears were covered by my headphones with Billie Eilish blasting loud. I felt like I could relate to her music as it was as dark as I was inside, nothing could fill the void that was deep within me and I had learned to embrace it. The music stopped which meant it was seven on the dot. I took off my headphones, carefully placing them on the bed before grabbing the crown and carefully placing it on my neatly tied hair. I stood up gracefully, my hands flattening my long designer tight skirt, g
I knelt on the floor, forehead still on the black tiled floor that smelt of lavender. I could hear my heart thud, feel my shaking hands and even hear as I took in a sharp breath only to exhale.I had heard the emotionless voice, the words reaching my ears yet they did not make sense. I knelt there like I had lost my mind, trying to figure out what had just been said. My body suddenly violently shook, betraying me in my time of need. I felt the tears as they welled up, not being able to hold them back.It could not be right, maybe I heard it wrong, I thought, not believing my ears. It definitely could not be. King Vampir had been at war with the werewolf race for over thousands of years, slaying one werewolf king after the other. Vampires hated the wolves with all their being. I had personally not set eyes on one in my whole life and would have liked it to stay that way."Sorry my king, forgive my incompetent self but I think I did not get what my highness said." I said, knowing that
I looked but not seeing, listened but not hearing, even the loud music that brutalized my ears leaving them sore and red as if a rash would appear.I had cried myself to sleep only to wake up like the robot I was raised to be, taking my shower. I had sat through the fix up only to sit on the bed, waiting for the clock to strike seven. Maggie stood by the door where she always was, her shift starting at half past six to watch them fix me up and make me look like the good princess I was.Today was the day, today was the day I would leave the castle never to look back and somehow some part of me was relieved, some part of me was happy. I would finally leave this wicked place, leaving everything behind. I knew that whatever waited for me was not good, not even in the slightest, but I would face it head on. I was twenty-one years old and it was time for me to get out from my shell and fight for my life. I did not care what they would bring on me but whatever it was, I was going to meet it
I don't think I can do this!My mind was screaming, my heart drumming. The jet had touched down just ten minutes ago and the door was opening. There was nothing I wanted than to tuck my tail and hide under a chair. That would be fun, wouldn't it? My wolf was uncomfortable, we were on new territory and she did not like it one bit. I could feel her wheels turning, well, my wheels turning, my survival instincts kicking in and wanting nothing more than to sprint the hell away from that place. One thing I would tell you is that it was cold, when I say cold, I mean snow cold. The ground was covered in snow, sky covered in dark clouds promising rain as if the weather could sense my dark mood. I sat clenching my chair, wishing that door would not open, leaving me to stay in the jet for the rest of my life.I sighed; it was fucked up."Your highness, the door is opened." The flight attendant said. Her whole body shook and I knew why, she was scared shitless, we were in the land owned and rule
"Your highness, Princess Anastasia Nikita Furthrone, our own future queen! Her—" I jolted up, my eyes moving over the jet as Belinda shook the sleep from her face."What is going on princess?" she asked perplexed."I think they are here." I said, standing up, trying to see outside. Car lights, a lot of car lights and a thin crowd collected. I could only see their long shadows, making them seem longer and thinner which had my heart hammer in my chest as they seemed like scary creatures.I took a deep breath, feeling for my crown and finding it in place, my bun was probably a bit messed up but what could I do. I turned to Belinda who was as white as paper, fear making her shake as I took a step."Can you please open the door, Belinda?" I asked, my confidence back, knowing that I had to do this, knowing that I could not run from this. It was time to stop acting like a teenager and start acting lik
I sat in the car with the women talking away. I did not mind really; my thoughts were elsewhere yet my eyes took in this new environment that was my own personal hell. We had been driving for twenty minutes from the private airfield, going through a large black gate and when I say large, I mean large, like giant large. The cars drove in, hoping they would not take me to the king in such a manner. I hoped they would at least give me a few minutes to clean up and change.... wait! I did not remember taking out my bags from the plane! I was so focused on all the drama and Belinda had been so scared we had all forgot about my luggage. If that was not being toast, I don't know what was. I blinked and blinked, seeming as if luck had run away from me. What would I wear? Where was I going to get clothes? It was not like I could just go knocking on my next-door neighbour, asking for clothes. I sighed, thanking the goddess that my phone was tucked
"I hate the fact that I can't see in her future, I mean that has never happened before and I have lived for a thousand years." Another girl that looked nothing more than eighteen said,making me stare at her perplexed.How was that even possible? Witches were mortal and could easily die just like humans.I had so many questions yet I sat listening."Why is he not listening to us?" Another girl with blue sparkling eyes shot out,pacing up and down,it being clear that this got on her nerves."I think that the mystery is something else that has him set on this. If he can't see their future then what were we? It does not matter though, whatever comes,we can take it. We will protect him and the coterie fromanything bad that comes. I am sure this wet dog can't do much damage. Did I mention that she tried to use her stupid dog power on me?" The evil witch that I wante
