Selene's Revenge

Two hours later …... At the beach, where King George was last spotted

I could see him trying to build a fire, to keep himself warm for the night.

"Bastard," I thought, "He doesn't deserve such a luxury, after all the hell he put me through, including what he's done to my family."

I decide to break the silence, and surprise him.

"So, Octavian, long time no see."

He turned around, and saw me standing there, both of my daggers in my hands.

"Well my dear, I see, like your shepherd of a father, that you have no sense of true loyalty, nor the ability to appreciate what is given to you out of gratitude."

As soon as those words left his mouth, I was seething with anger.

"That, Caesar, is not something that is out of ungratefulness. If anything, it is done out of some sort of respect for you."

"And what kind of respect is that?"

I think for a minute, and then respond, "I respected you enough to show you how much of your shitty offer actually was kind. You put me through hell, and because of that, I wanted to end my life many times, but I never did. You want to know why?"

"Why, Selene? I am just dying to know why."

"Interesting choice of words there, Octavian."

"Why is that?"

"Because, since I wasn't able to kill you in our old world, I can kill you in this one."

And then our duel begins. We have been fighting sword to daggers, for the past hour, and it looks like I'm winning. And then, I slip on a wet rock, and land on my back.

"How unfortunate for you, Selene. Does your family even know that you're here?"

"No …. Even if they did, that wouldn't stop me. You deserve to die you no good dirty rotten son of a bitch." And with that, I spit in his face.

"You stupid bitch! You'll pay for that, and I'll …."

"You'll do what to my daughter George?" My father hastily replied, jumping in to save me, but it was too late. George's blade was dipped in poison, and he had stabbed me many times throughout our little duel.

I felt myself slowly slipping away and saw the ground rushing towards me, when I felt my twins arms wrapped around me. Emma let out a blood-curdling scream when she realized what had happened to me.

"Selene ….. NOOOOOOOOOOO!" She started to cry in grief and anguish.

Snow saw my bloodied dress, and the bloodied daggers on the ground, two feet from where I was in Emma's arms. Charming was standing in front of us, protecting us, just like he always swore he would.

It wasn't until she got closer, that she got to see the full extent of the damage, when she realized that I was hurt really bad, and in need of medical attention. Then she too, let out a blood curdling scream.

"My baby, no …. Why did you go off on your own to take care of him? After everything that has happened to us as a family, why?"

"I had to …" I had to involuntarily pause there, as I began to cough up some blood.

"Hush, it's going to be ok baby girl. CHARMING!?"

He turned around, and King George used that as an escape, and was never heard from again. My father, however, paid no attention to the man fleeing the scene. All he could focus on at the moment, was one of his baby girl's bleeding to death, and being held by her twin sister and her mother. Tears started to form in his eyes.

He looked up to the heavens and screamed, "What kind of cruel fate is this? Why, after 28 years, would you give me back both of my daughters, only for me to lose one of them? WHY?"

"CHARMING!?"

"What Snow?"

"Well, she is still alive, but barely, we need to get her to Dr. Whale."
