Chapter 3
Let the Game Begin
"Check" I said placing my queen diagonal from her king.
"Crap" she said moving it away from my queen.
"Forfeit now Nessa…and I won't completely obliterate you" I said taunting her.
"Oh you'd like that wouldn't you" She said smirking.
Nessa is the only friend I have left we knew each other when were children…we look alike in every way…same porcelain skin, same icy blue eyes, were both tall and thin…the only difference is my waist length icy blonde hair and her shoulder length fiery red hair. She was there for me immediately after my dethroning…she took me in and took care of my while I began plotting my vengeance.
She moved one of her nights and I destroyed it with my queen.
"Checkmate…you lose" I said.
"How do you always beat me" She complained.
"Maybe because I'm always one step ahead of you" I taunted her.
"Ughh…I hate you" She said pouting.
"Aww now I'm sad" I taunted her.
Just then my servant girl came barging in.
"Forgive me your highness but…your spies have gathered the intel on your mother" she said.
"Nessa leave us" I said as she left the room. I stood up my heels click-clacking on the stone floor of the mansion I bought with my winnings from Total Drama…it was nice but not as nice as my castle was. I approached the girl.
"Speak" I ordered her.
"She's the one who killed your father" she said.
"What…?" I asked.
"She poisoned him…and not only that you had a twin sister" she said.
"I-I did"? I asked.
"She killed her when you were both infants…bashed her skull in" she said.
"How did they find this out" I asked.
"They found her diary" she said handing it to me, "It also appears that you are the sole heir to your throne…all of your siblings…are only half…your mother had a lot of affairs" she told me.
"Is Edward back from the military base yet…" I asked.
"No not yet" She replied.
I flipped through the diary…she was telling the truth, every one of my mother's heinous crimes all right here…then something hit me.
"How did you know all of this" I asked her.
"Forgive me princess" she said.
"ANSWER ME!" I yelled.
"I may have read some of it…I'm very sorry" She said.
"You…betrayed my trust" I said staring at her with such fury.
She was absolutely terrified.
"Its okay I forgive you…how about a hug" I said in the most sweetest tone as I gave her a hug. I then dug a knife deep into her lower back killing her instantly. I dropped her dead body on the floor and called for another servant.
"Make sure her innards don't get on anything" I said as they dragged her lifeless body away. I sat by the window and stared out in to the cold winter air.
Edward returned hours later…he found me in our room staring out the window. I turned to him…he knew…Nessa must have told him.
"You know when I was little me and my parents were so close…even though they had a kingdom to run they wer always made time for me…now I know it was all a lie" I said as I began crying. He rushed over and wrapped his arms around me.
"We will make her pay…I promise you" He said comforting me.
"Thank you…you're the only one I can truly trust with all of my heart" I said as he kissed me…I returned the kiss…I opened my eyes and stared at the chess board across the room…my queen still had the opposing king in checkmate…I began thinking to myself…"if it's a war my mother wants…then it's a war she'll get".
