Chapter 37: Ending A (4)

Violet paced her room nervously. Today was the day, today was the day she would become whatwas unbeknownst to her, queen of Albion. Them very words struck adenine in Violets heart. Queen, she still couldn't believe it, even after all these weeks, and today it was finally going to become a reality, it would become official with a royal coronation.

So, there she paced, dressed in the most expensive and heavy of royal gowns. Blue, gold and white made the dress glow and sparkle in the sunlight and the layers of carefully sculpted material ensured that any figure wearing it would look as beautiful and radiant as can be.

It was the first-time in months that Violet felt happy, at peace for once yet at the same time, nervous, but a good nervous. Not nervous out of fear, or dread, but out of excitement for what the future may hold.

"You look absolutely stunning your majesty, truly, any that look upon you shall mark you as a beautiful and strong leader." Jasper complimented as he entered her room.

Violet turned to face him, he made her jump slightly at his sudden appearance, "Thank you…I am just a bit…nervous." Violet continued to fidget.

"Your majesty, the people have already accepted you as their ruler, just as they would your brother Edward had he came this far, I am sure that you will do him and your farther proud." Jasper smiled reassuringly.

"I hope so…" Violet smiled back.

"Now, its time." Jasper concluded.

Violet let out a long lengthy breath she didn't realise that she was holding, "I am ready."

Violet stared at the wooden doors in front of her. They were to lead her out onto the balcony where thousands of people would witness her coronation, she could hear the people of Albion chattering amongst themselves, excitement and eagerness present in their voices.

Violet's head was swimming with hundreds of emotions, yet she had never felt so ready in her entire life, ready to live this new life, a one that had the answers, and a one that would surely give her more questions.

The crowd died down until, silence. Violet's stomach began to knot, and she couldn't help the small smile that began to spread across her lips.

"Ladies and gentleman, it gives me great honour to announce the new queen of Albion!"

Just as Jasper finished, the doors where opened and Violet stepped out, strong and proud as she made her way towards the front of the balcony. Each footstep was powerful, yet full of grace and elegance as she walked forward.

Violet glanced to her left and saw Reaver bowing deeply alongside her own mother who smiled politely at Violet as she did a small courtesy of her own. To her right, stood Jasper and Logan, both mimicking Reaver's position and shadow. His fur shining in the sun and a sloppy tongue falling out of this mouth as he panted happily. A small chuckle escaped her before finally, her eyes returned forward. The moment her eyes fell upon her people, the crowd roared.

Flowers, balloons and confetti was thrown wildly as Violet emerged before floating gently down again. Violet smiled upon the scene and for just a few seconds, fear struck her heart as she began to wonder if what she was experiencing was nothing more than a dream. Feared that at any moment, she would awaken to find herself all alone in the sewers of Bowerstone industrial.

Yet, that moment never came and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Logan approach her, a beautifully sculpted crown resting snuggly in his hands.

Violet caught his eye, she saw the flash of sadness – perhaps remorse – in his dark eyes but that was quickly replaced with happiness as he looked upon her. Violet respected him for that.

Slowly, he began to lift the crown, Violet held his gaze for a short while longer before returning it to her people. As the crown hovered above her head, she let her eye lids slid shut, ready to open them and start her knew life.

She felt the weight of the crown being placed upon head and heard Logan announce proudly, "All hail the queen on Albion!"

Violet titled her head back slightly and opened her eyes. Though Violet had no way of knowing at that moment in time, her once black spiritless eyes began to morph until they became a brilliant blue colour that reflected off the sky. They shone and sparkled bright for all to see, and too marvel at it wonder.

Happiness, though it came at a hefty price, Violet found happiness and the answers that she had been seeking. She was finally content.

Reaver's eyes burnt as he stared at the back of Violets head. Of course, they were only burning on the inside, on the outside, they were full of pride, praise and pleasantries, but they were burning on the inside.

Rage, wrath, lust, envy, he felt them all on the inside. The letter. Did she not receive it?

Reaver stood watching her, applauding, acting like a true gentleman should but countless dastardly and dark scenarios played out in his head as his eyes linger on the new queen.

It was rare that a plan of his own did not succeed but somehow, this one did not. It seemed that the gods had frowned upon him. They did not wish it so, and so it was not.

Reaver continued to stare at the queen, his mind only content swimming in its own disturbing images.

"In time," Reaver barely whispered to himself before throwing Violet a flirtatious wink as she looked back at him.

"In time…"

AAAAAAAh! Finally! Tis done! I am genuinely so proud that this is now finished (no matter how good or bad) Just for a little insight, I started writing this when I was 12 and here I am at age 19 just finishing. I definitely did not plan for it to take this long, but I never wanted to abandon it or leave it unfinished. So here is the finale product, and let me tell you, it was never meant to be this long, and these endings were never meant to happen but its been great to take a small idea and just continuing to build upon it. The story is not done yet though! Now it's time to go through all the other chapters and edit them And you to read the alternate ending! Only if you feel unsatisfied with the one you got of course. But genuinely, thank you so much if you are reading this, and I salute you for getting to the end, 30 + chapters is a lot of commitment and I thank you for taking the time to read my work. It has and always will be appreciated.
