Shamma tried to navigate her way around the unsettled crowd but she failed to find Xavier.The more she tried to follow the direction in which Xavier went the more she got lost.She was constantly shoved from one spot to another by the older people who were trying to catch a glimpse of King Roland
"Xavier!" She screamed but her small voice went with the wind
"Hey kid watch it!" A fierce looking man said pushing her away before she landed on the hard ground.
"Xavier!"she cried out now rather sobbing her eyes looking up to these gigantinc looking people infront of her.It wasnt long before she felt a pair of hands caressing her hair and when she turned to look an old lady stooped low to her size and smiled warmly at her
"Xavier...grand
That very night,Alex entered the palace in all haze and managed to dodge King Roland and Catherine as he made his way to see his sister.The news of Xavier and Shamma's dissappearence had him and Aurora putting their plan into motion and it was one opportunity they could not miss "Its open!" Aurora called out after the sound of a knock.She sat on the large bed carrying a bowel of apples,one apple already in her hand as she munched away.Alex was sure to lock the door before walking over to sit next to her,careful not to wake a snoring Nathan "How did it go?Got my message?" "I did and i sent the deadliest man after them." Alex whispered back picking an apple,"I'm glad i got your message before Roland sent out his men and i havent heard anything yet but i trust Rob,he will get to them b
"What are you two gawking at?!Get rid of those!" Rob said to the two men who immediately sprung to action.The last thing they wanted was to adhere to the same fate,they adored their lives.Shivering Xavier hugged his knees for dear life as his gaze fell on the rope tying his legs.He was not ready to follow the same fate.As traumatised as he was for having to witness such a gruesome event,it still dawned on him that he had to escape else he would die"Exc...excuse me sir." he stattered earning Rob's fierce look.He had never seen such a fierce looking man in his life,even the one at the market immediately turned out to be a better devil"I...i...please,i need to pee.""Why?" Xavier stared at him clearly stunned by the cold responce
Shamma sped through the dark bushy forest following what her instincts were leading her to.She could see herself running, she could see her palms glowing and although it was night time, her eyes allowed her to have a clearer vision.It wasnt dark at all on her part because her vision was daylight clear. The the more she tried to stop she just couldn't. There was a stronger force controlling her and she could only just but abide by it. The feeling was quite strange though it was not the first time she was feeling that way.It had happened some years back when they were around four years of age but by that time she was too young to unleash the glow. Xavier had happened to fall down the staircase.Shamma was playing alone outside and the feeling had made its fist appearance.She had involuntarily left what she was doing and ran into the palace only to find a crying Xavier being carried to his room.She had not heard him scream or anything but she
Without much of an effort, Shamma stretched out her right hand and defied the law of gravity. Xavier could only but stare at the stagnant sword inches away from his neck. Rob just glared at the same incident face registered with shock.He was at some point quite sure someone was going to die, but the odds were now fully stacked against him. Shamma twisted her hand, and in the same manner the sword turned, its tip now fully facing a stunned Rob"Please, please dont kill me it was not my idea plea..." but before he could say more his sword flew towards him piercing through his chest.He gasped for air as he sunk to the ground but it was too late. He died.Xavier upon seeing what had just happened could not move either.The events of that very night were becoming too heavy for him to bear such that he ended up letting the darkness envelope him."Xavier!" Shamma screamed running towards him"Xavier get up, Xavier!" she screamed but his eyes would not open.It was
Shamma woke up next to her mother the next morning. Shayne had rather refused to spend the night at the royal house and was accompanied back home.He was an adventurous teenager, old enough to be by himself."Goodmorning mommy.""Goodmorning my love how are you today?""I am fine mommy. Oh my i have to check up on Xavier!" she said jumping out of the bed and running towards the door"Be careful dont trip!""I wont!" she called out and in a moment she was gone, banging the door shut on her way out. Dora was left alone with her thoughts. She gave a silent prayer thanking her maker for life and for Shamma. She thanked Him for everything that had happened the previous night definitely gra
"Tamera, would you like to go for a walk? We can just collect marbles by the river and come back.""You should just call me Tamera often Sham.It sounds better.Is it far? We can take my carriage.""No no its a little distance from here dont worry." And they were quick to get going"Brother Shayne we are going to the river!""Be careful!" he gave an unheard reply as the girls were endorsed in their conversation"You know Sham.I never really get to play at home. Father does not want me to play with the other kids at home all.""But why Tamera?""He says they are servants children and
"Sham we should come to the river more often. I like it." said Tamera as they made their way back"Its okay Tamera. You can just come to my house and we will go. But lady Tamera, i have never seen your mother, where is she?" Tamera was silent for a moment before responding."Well Sham, we only live with my dad. Dad says my mother died when i was still a baby. I only live with dad and sister Tanisha.""Oh wow you have a sister? I have Shayne and mom. I dont have a dad at all mom says he went to heaven. I hardly remember him anyway.""Well atleast mom is there she takes care of you.""But Tamera i dont like it when mom works a lot. She comes home very tired everytime. When i grow up i
Marcus paced to and fro clearly still trying to process the news he had received. He looked at the opened letter on the floor then at the envelope, stamped with a royal seal clearly proving that it was indeed from the king"I hope this letter finds you in good health. His royal highness King Roland has ordered a ceremony in the crown prince's name with the intention to choose his betrothed. The ceremony will be in two days do bring young lady Tamera. His highness is deeply sorry for the unseen change of plans." it had readMarcus could feel his anger rising from the deepest pit of his stomach. Anything could happen anything could go wrong and the last thing he would want was Tamera to miss out on the throne. That would be his biggest nightmare"Father." a voice got to him. Sep
