Chapter 10: Fear
Stella got up from the chair and walk towards the window; she looked at the beautiful sky and the beautiful nature outside.
I wonder if sister is having a good time in heaven. The world outside of this castle is so beautiful, unlike being stucked in here. I'm glad that Brandon actually brought me to the place where he and sis used to go. Though it's not the worldwide I'm seeking, I'm pretty content that I been to the place where sister went before.
"Stella?" I heard a voice that called my name. I turned back and look and saw Sky. What brings him here? Didn't he know that I need a princess break?
"King Sky," Still, I greeted him in a graceful bow. "What brings you here?"
"I just want to check on you if you're asleep or not." He replied, yeah I know you're afraid that I will commit suicide like my sister does.
"I was about to go to bed." I replied. "Wait, where's Chimera?"
"I asked her to go back to her room early." He replied, "I have something for you, it is regarding about our wedding."
"Oh, yes. Our wedding." I sighed, disappointed. "I thought it is months away?"
"Well." He chuckled. Knowing him for years, I didn't know that he could chuckle. What's with him tonight?
"I brought a bottle of wine for you, I hope you like it." He showed the bottle of wine that he hid behind his back. I mean what's with him and wine? He came just because of that?
"Do you want to have a drink?" After hearing that, I feel something's not right. For my point of view on Sky, he can't be that good. Unless….
He is planning a trap on me like what he did to my sister.
I looked up at him, and kindly shook my head. Oh god, I am seriously tried of being fake in front of him.
"No?" he said, I continue to shake my head.
"Thanks for your offer." I said, "But I am really tired. I don't take anything before bedtime, it's unhealthy."
"But it's good before bedtime." He continued. How I wish I could slap on his face twice.
"Thanks but no." I insisted. " You should know that I have gastric problems since young. If I take anything before bedtime my stomach will hurt badly, and you don't want this to happen during our wedding don't you?"
"Or are you just scared that you'll ended up like your sister?" I looked up at him, and saw his expression changed into a stern and angry look.
"I can't remember what you're talking about." I lied.
"You know."
He put his hands onto my shoulder and was trying to kiss me; I pushed him away and give him a deathly glare.
"If you dare to lay a finger on me, you'll regret it."
"Oh and what are you going to do, cry baby?" he said, finally showing his true colours. I immediately went to my bed and took out my sword under it, then drew out my sword, pointed at his face.
"Or you'll get this." I said. His started to fear when the sword was pointing near his neck.
"You should know that I am a very well trained swordwoman, my skills are even better than yours. Though as a crown princess of Neo Verona, I am unable to break off the engagement with you but as a swordwoman, I am able to protect myself."
"But… You should know that you're still mine after we got married." He said.
"So I guess you have to wait till the wedding night." I said, "So before the wedding, you better not lay a finger on me if not… I am sure that you'll be dead."
"How dare you treat a king in this way?" he yelled. "You'll regret in during the wedding night."
"You're welcome." I said, while he just storms off from my room. Oh god, sometimes I am really proud of myself. Though my sister's personality and me are the same, but the only difference is that I'm more willful than my sister.
But what I fear the most is…
What Flora had said to me this afternoon. Am I really going to sacrifice myself for Neo Verona after the tree died?
Is it true that Flora told me?
If I sacrifice, what will happen to my father?
And, what will happen to Brandon?
Wait, why do I keep thinking of him?
Brandon's POV
Why am I back here again? What is going on?
"Radius," speaks that guy. "I can't believe that you have betrayed me in order to take my throne."
Wait, why is this scene replaying all over again?
"No Oritel, I was forced by Erendor!" Radius said, "He got Luna, and I got to do it for the sake of her and my daughter!"
"What about Miriam?" Oritel yelled. "She is Luna's best friend! Why do you have to kill her?"
"I didn't!" yelled back Radius, "Erendor did it, not me!"
"You, monster!" Suddenly, I saw Radius's sword stabbed through Oritel's body, leaving him dead on the ground, lying on the pool of blood.
"I'm sorry." I saw Radius shredded a tear and immediately rubbed it away and walk away from the scene.
"Papa."
"AHH!" I opened my eyes and looked around, discovered that I'm still in my room. I felt relieved that this is just a dream.
But what is with me?
What's going on actually?
I had a sudden fear that something bad is going to happened.
It seems like not much people like this story. =(
But never mind, I'll update anyways... BTW, I have some trouble with the next chapter of "Accused." I don't know what to write next, as it was like... craking my brains hard? I need some help for that story! =(
So please review and tell me what to do, kindly please?
xoxo-Joy
