Previously on EMD:
"Okay but please remind me why because us meeting at the market was such a big deal?" I asked him. "And why you seem so protective of me." I'm pretty sure I know the answer but I wanted him to say it first.
"Well meeting you at the market was the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I'm very protective of you because I love you and you're my girlfriend." Prince Kai says, smiling over at me.
I grinned over at him before saying, "That's all I needed to hear."
I felt him smile as I crushed my lips to his. Surprising myself and him.
Chapter Five [Kai's POV]
Cinder's lips were warm and familiar as we kissed in harmony, breaking apart only because of the need of air.
Cinder looked shocked and ashamed. I smiled as she looked down in embarrassment. Her arms that were around my neck slowly moved away. Cinder backed away and sat on the edge of the bed with her head in her hands.
"No… What?... No…" She kept muttering. She glanced up and stared in my eyes for a couple minutes. I smiled because if she kept remembering then my Cinder was gonna be back soon. I saw her clench her hands.
"Kai?..." She said, her hands kept twitching for some weird reason. "Help me… She knew… she did this to me." Now I'm lost. Who was she?
"Cinder?" I asked confusion in my head. "What's wrong?"
"Le...va...na…" Cinder said, her voice quivering with… Pain? "She… kn..ew… tha…t we wou…ld… wi..n." Her teeth clenched in pain.
"She… go...t in… m...y he..ad." Cinder unclenched her hands as she fainted.
"Levana is still in my head…I will… alwa...ys.. love-" She said as she fell towards the floor, her eyes fluttering closed.
"Cinder?!" I cried out in shock, lunging to catch her. Once I set her on the bed, I walked out of the room trying to find Dr. Nandez. I ran around asking nurses where she was. No one knew.
This was going to take a while.
[Cinder's POV]
-Flashback to the fight at the throne room-
"No. Run! Get out of here!" I yelled at Wolf and Scarlet. She saw my position and injuries, and stubborn as ever, shook her head.
My breathing was hard as I used my gift to make everyone leave the room. This meant that it was only me and Levana now.
"You can't win this child." Levana said wincing as she stood up, using the throne to raise her body up.
My arm was still throbbing from catching Thorne. The pain was becoming too unbearable, making me unable to lift the gun to kill Levana. Levana noticed this sign of weakness and laughed.
"Now that your friends are gone I can finally do what I have planned…" She said still laughing maniacally.
"You can't win this Aunt." I said once she had stopped laughing.
"Oh child…" Levana said sadly, making a pout. "I've already won."
I didn't have a chance to say anything before she lunged at me with a knife in her hands. She covered my hands, muffling my screams. The knife trailed the veins on my hands stopping at my throat.
Levana slowly trailed the knife's sharp edges around my throat making small cuts. She laughed as I tried calling out, but couldn't because of her hand covering my mouth. I cursed myself for making everyone walk so far away from this room.
"Oh child…" She said again sadly, watching my clothes be drenched in my own blood. "You can only hope to be fixed after what I'll do to you."
I heard my muffled screams as she stabbed the knife into my chest. Levana twisted the knife with her hand that wasn't covering my mouth, making me shriek silently, tears streaming down my face from the pain.
I felt another pain in my head as I saw my arm betray me, lifting the gun to my head, praying that someone would find me. As my finger twitched to pull the trigger I jerked my hand towards Levana making me shoot her, the force making her launch backwards.
I finally shrieked in agony from the pain. If I wasn't in so much pain I would actually fight harder to keep my heart beats stronger.
No.
Now I welcomed death with open arms.
-Flashback over-
Wooow! I loved making this chapter! I hope I answered some of your questions about how the big fight happened. I'm really sorry about how short this chapter is. Now to do this: LunarsRebel I didn't really understand your comment, but I just want some cliffhangers! Though I agree that Cinder should know about her being Selene, that comes in later chapters… Now onto the review thing… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! I am literally on my hands and knees. Next person to review gets a shoutout. Blah Blah Blah… And that's about it.
With love, LivingTillTheEnd.
