Chapter 4

Rhaenyra's POV

I woke up feeling good though my memories caught short as I couldn't remember what exactly had happened.

Today was the day of the fun fair and I knew I had to prepare so I walked into the bathroom.

I let the warm water soak and seep into my skin offering me bliss and pleasure as I decided to relax and rethink the day. My eyes closed reluctantly trying to connect with my inner self. I was in a dilemma that possibly had no answer or solutions. So my father was the one that killed my mother and my brothers were trying to kill me too. What exactly was happening to me and why was no one saying anything about it? How did I end up in my bed again?

The weird sisters had called me an old friend but this was my first time ever seeing them.

Did I kill my father because he had tried to kill me?

Why was my life so difficult? What exactly could I do to stop all this?

This life might be cut off since I might not survive. I guess I was never made for this life of pretty smiles and cowering behind men trying to get everyone to like me because just before their eyes I was nothing. I'm nobody, just a useless piece of trash. All my life I had tried to please them even though it meant liking everyone of them but they treated me like I was something to be won over not like I really meant anything. These thoughts threaten to drive me insane, I just couldn't take it anymore. I was becoming a shadow of myself - a shell but it only proved to be worse everyday. I'm said to be lucky but instead I'm gravely unfortunate by being blessed with this royal family with threads of secrets tightly knotted on each other and hidden away from insignificant eyes. These thoughts jabbed at my heart without remorse as the tears threatened to fall.

I let the water pour l hiding the tears in my eyes, my eyes were bloody red, my teeths had bite marks making them more red, my body, a canva of my cruelty with several scratch marks as bloody trickled down.

Did I deserve happiness? No.

But they also didn't.

If I was burned in hell then I would make sure I dragged them all down with me.

If my heart was what would deviate from my bloody revenge then I would eat it as dinner.

And if my sanity was what would make me think before acting then I would rather go insane. My body had a grave then 3 more were to be dug.

An ugly smile was on my face, my heart filled with scorn and disdain for those that pitied me for that was all mockery hidden beneath. I swore on my mother's name…I would make sure I buried each and everyone of them.. Nature seemed to agree with my thoughts as it was followed by the strike of thunder. I looked outside and it was havoc, the trees were up in the air and the weather was unclear, the people were screaming and holding their children.

I got angrier when I realized it was all me but I had to take in a lot of air before I could calm down so the sun could gracefully take over the sky and no one would notice it was a display of my fervent unstable emotions and then tag me as a curse to avoid killing today.

I walked out.

Picked up the box and I knew it was time for the show. To pick up my sheep's clothing and hide from everyone's eyes and take them unnoticed. Even if no one cares then I do care for myself, I will be one to clean my tears and pick myself up every time I fall. I know that I'm special and that's why they are hating on me so I don't have any hiccups whenever I see them talking instead it's a showdown which I will always win.

I sparkled because I'm a jewel.

I smiled at the girl in the mirror cause she's the prettiest and strongest girl I knew as I patted the dress delicately woven in its thick red material that looked like blood could trickle down at any moment…it was tight but comfortable. Its fashion and creativity was at its peak. I loved its novelty. My fair skin at display but soon covered up by the heavy jewelries that choked my fragile neck but showed my influence. I smiled once again cause I was ready to be the queen I am.

I was interrupted by the loud knocking on my door, to which I responded with a long sigh before I said,” come in”.

Zephyr walked in with a big smile on his face, his lips drawn in a wild smile and his cheeks had a tiny crimson color on them.

I smiled brightly running towards him and yapping about how much I loved the dress and he looked at me like I was the prettiest girl in the world right then and he said something.

“Rhaenyra, let's get married and you would be the lady of the South. We both know your thoughts about you turning, you aren't calm about it at all. The same way I want to ask you about the bodies you have been littering around.”

I looked at him shocked and then he said, “ You are really a novice at all this but I wonder how you are able to kill all those werewolves and why only werewolves.”

My eyes darted around the room knowing I was exposed then he laughed lightly and said, “ Let's go or we will be late”.

“ You might be late but not her brother because she's coming with me”, Luca said.

I just couldn't stop smiling as I held his hands and said.
