Chapter 23: I'm back
I feel the cold hands of Kathleen's intertwine with mine. The icy feeling soothing the burning of mine. The burning that I've been feeling for so long now, the one that's been agonizing me for the longest time. Her cold hands bring my hand to a bearable temperature after so long of burning.
Finally, I feel the relief I've been craving for the longest time, it almost brings my breath back. Closing my eyes again, savoring the feeling.
Hoping that her cool but calming embrace is the last thing I feel as I leave this earth. I know that all the memories from our time before may be gone, but I remember this feeling. This feeling of puzzle pieces finally fitting together and like my whole world finally has meaning when I'm with her. Blessed and complete bliss, this feeling I can't forget.
It's been two years. They've trained me to become a killing monster. After the rabbit, it was a pig. Which I, now think is pathetic, took a week to kill. Almost dying from hunger

Maids scurry all about, working hard to preparing for the big feast tonight. I sigh, annoyed beyond belief when another one walks right into me. Everyone around stopping at the loud noise, the maid scurries around trying to pick up the candles she dropped. I walk past her with one step, speeding up my pace to Attilia's room.Angrily pushing the door open, a smack heard as the handle hits against the wall with a strong force.Seeing Attilia standing by a table discussing with some of his main men the plan, I walk over to him. "Attilia, is everyone ready?" I ask, my voice echoing and bouncing off the walls. "Yes, everyone is stationed and ready." He says shooing the men out of the room."And the necklaces?" I ask, the wheels turning in my head as I become more focused on the task at hand. He nods, opening a velvet jewel box. In the box are two necklaces. One is a king's crown and the other a queen's crown. I smirk, looking at them an
The Forgotten King Chapter 25: Favourite memory
I open my eyes, Kathleen's face beams down with a wide smile. She saved my life. Then with a sudden burst, all my memories of time spent with Kathleen burst back to me. All of these moments flood my head, especially my favourite memory.I stretch my tired bones, sleeping on the small couch doing a number on my tall body. After using the bathroom, I rub my eyes and see that Kathleen's still asleep. After she fell asleep last night in my lap I had carried her over to my bed.She smiles slightly. Kathleen looks so gentle and calm. Not bothered with the stress of school or her mother back home. Seeing her like this makes me want to protect her with all my life. I hope I never forget this moment. I take a mental image, wanting to stay in this point in time.I sit down on the bed next to her, moving her coffee coloured hair out of the lady's face. Kathleen shifts, her eyes slowly fluttering open. Once they're com

My eyes snap open, all the memories flooding my mind. Remember how much this girl loved me, how much I loved her, how good of friends we were. She's so much more mature now, her beauty is so captivating.I'm so taken back by how much she's changed, pure shock by all the memories inundating my head that I don't even notice that the black shell that was about to kill me has left my body. Diminishing from my whole being.Kathleen's angelic face lights up and happy tears start flowing, I can tell, she remembers too. I take her face in both my hands, "How old are you?" I ask trying to know if my thoughts were appropriate. Her acorn brown eyebrows furrow. "I'm twenty-three, why?""May I kiss you?" I ask, sitting up a bit more, now on my knees. She gives a small giggle and nods. I smirk and finally take her lips onto mine. Kissing her with an intense passion, we both smile into the kiss, her soft lips reciprocating my kiss just as deeply.I pull aw

Our duet was also a win and I could see Levi cheering me- us on from the crowds, it made my heart swell with pride.I can't believe that I've made it through this term with everything that had happened. I'm so proud of myself, for once in my life. I'm so excited to have a break, after all.Now I'm left sitting on my bed, on the Tuesday after the festival at night. Waiting for Levi, my leg bounces nervously wondering if he's coming at all. I mean for all I know he was just in shock when he said all that. My anxiety just attacks my head with unwanted thoughts. He could think I'm weird and irresponsible. He probably-There's a knock at the door bringing me out of my self-doubting thoughts. Standing up, my purple star-lace dress, the one Dixie got me just for this occasion, flowing around my body
The Forgotten King Chapter 28: Beach waves
The sun's lights shine brightly. So bright that even with closed eyes it still ignites the dark world. The soft grass tickles my legs but still provides me with a comforting spot to rest. My head rests on the roots of a massive oak tree. I can hear the waves of the beach crash against the ledge I'm laying on.I can also hear the fisherman whistling their morning tunes. The daylight is just high enough for them to start their early morning work. Birds sing their gentle sunup tunes, forest birds. The thick forest road taken to get here must be the reason for them.Then, I hear footsteps. Soft ones, I can tell they're trying not to bother the space of peace I've found here up the mountain. A moment in time that I'll have to safe forever. After forgetting the best year of my life, I've started collecting these moments.The perfect, or almost perfect moments in my mind.

~Part two~"Years of love have been forgot, in the hatred of a minute."~Edgar Allen Poe"He's immortal..."The words repeat over and over in my head. A daze of question's flooding my mind not giving me time to process any of them. A blinding amount of fury and confusion comes over me. I knew Levi would not answer my questions. He would be too stubborn.He would tell me what he always does. "I do not wish to lie to you, Kathleen. I also do not wish to hurt you. Or for you to leave me, so I will not tell you." I can already hear it in his deep, strong voice. I'll be left to wonder all over again. Now, now his unwillingness to tell me, will be the cause of
The Forgotten King Chapter 30: Confrontations
The warm sun rays carefully embrace me. It hits my eye almost scared to wake me up but not hesitating in doing so. There's still a cold breeze that comes from the open window. It still lightly winter but the weather becomes warmer. "Good morning, my queen," I say to Kathleen but opening my eyes I see there is no Kathleen and I'm just holding a pillow.I furrow my brows, usually, she waits for me to wake before she gets out of bed. I scour the room and see that her cloak and boots are not at their customary corner...Why would she need her coat? I get up from my bed and move over to my closet. A pair of my trousers and one of my shirts are missing.I hear a commotion outside. I get up, not caring for a shirt, only in my britches. Opening the door to one of the servants, "Oh your majesty, I was just about to wake you." She says in a faint voice, her cheeks rosy and eyes big, I give her a disgruntled grunt in return. Just like I've done many times before.
The Forgotten King Chapter 31: Old lady
To say I was tired would have an understatement without question. I've been riding this horse for hours now. The sun was high in the sky but slowly setting. Coming close to dusk now.I was exasperated, the horse was over-worked. It was fair to say we needed rest. I do know how to make a fire but I don't have anything to tie the horse with. Or the strength to go find wood.I felt gross, I haven't had the time to bathe before I left. I had too large clothes on. It's scratching me. The baggy clothes make it uncomfortable to move. I didn't have time to brush my teeth either. I felt truly gross.I almost decided to sleep without a fire and pry to the gods that my horse didn't leave me. Or that creatures of the night wouldn't come and eat me. That was until I saw smoke not far from me. Taking a risk I decided to ride all the way there pushing through the fatigue.I finally reach the fire, and it turns out to be a little shack. Next to it is a ho
