Chapter 3: Death in the… family?

A few days later a girl named Shiela went missing and not long later her body was found by the river and the weird thing was... all of her blood was missing. No one could figure out why all of her blood was missing and for some reason my father was very attached to this death, he was so attached that he had his high priest look at Shiela's body. While the priest looked at Shiela he had a weird look n his face that I couldn't figure out.

"A great evil has killed this girl... and I fear this evil will soon strike again." The high priest said with great sorrow in his voice and he looked at my father with a look that said "I'm sorry". Why is this girls death so important to everyone?

"Thank you very much Shuenon you are dismissed." My father told the high priest. You see Shuenon is the name of the High priest but since the beginning of time there has been a law that all priest's and priestess's shall be called priest, priestess, high priest, or high priests but under no circumstances shall the priest or priestess be called by his or her name, only the Kings (my father) of Giza are allowed to call them by their names...

The more the minutes I spent with Coldon they soon turned into hours then hours into days, days into weeks, weeks into months and during that time I started to grow much closer to Coldon and he grew much closer to me, and pretty soon there wasn't a time that I left the pyramid without Coldon and my father was starting to notice because he pulled me aside one day to talk to me.

"I see you are becoming close to Coldon." My father said with great interest.

"I think I am father but I am not sure of my feelings for him yet." I told my caring father and he smiled but his smile quickly disappeared and my father quickly took my hand and lead me to his private speaking room and then we both sat down, when I looked at my father he had much sadness in his eyes. "What's wrong father?" I ask.

"I think it is time you should know the truth." my father told me

"The truth about what?"

"The truth of your sister."

"What sister I'm an only child."

"I'm sorry to say this but you aren't an only child. That girl Shiela that was killed, she was your sister." What my father said shocked me! There was so many questions running threw my head at the same time.

"Why was I never told this?" I asked

"You weren't told this because your sisters birth was a secret. You see when I was still a prince I had a lover named Saraphina, your mother and Shielas, but well you see one night I accidentally got her pregnant and well you know the rules. If a women, lover to a prince gets pregnant by the prince she shall be put to death but I loved your mother so much that we kept your sisters birth a secret. But anyways you never knew her because when she was 15 she got pregnant herself buy her lover Carlose and when she told me she was pregnant she told me while I was with the Nobles and when she said it the first thing they said was that we would have to put her to death or kick her out of the royal family. We loved your sister so much that we couldn't bear to kill her so we sent her to live with the town people but know that she is dead I felt that you should know that you had a sister." My father told me and it was so hard to take in but at the same time it told me why I was sad when I saw Shiela's body.

"So you actually had 3 daughters?" I asked my father

"No I only had 2. You and Shiela."

"Well what about Ana?" I asked

"Ana was conceived while I was away at war. I assigned one of my soldiers to watch over you mother while I was away and while I was gone she had an affair with him. When I got back from the war she told me she was pregnant and I asked who the father was and she said it was the man I assigned her to, so I didn't kill him but I made him suffer by not being able to be with your mother through her pregnancy and not let him witness the birth of his own child, I also made him watch in pain as I raised his own daughter as my own and not let any contact between them. I know it was a cruel thing to do, but it was his punishment…"Chapter 4: invasion

I later rode my horse to met with Coldon at the river so I could talk to him about the death of my "sister". When I got to the river I saw Coldon under some shaded trees and he was sitting, looking at the river while he waited for me. Just by seeing Coldon it made me happier and I knew it was dangerous to feel this way about a non-noble birth because if I fall in love with this guy I can get kicked out of the royal family.

"Are you ok Katalina?" Coldon asked as I walked over to him after I tied my horse to branch.

"I'm fine... actually I'm not fine I was just told that girl Shiela, the one that was killed, well she was my sister." I said while a few tears rolled down my cheeks, then he got up immediately to see if I was OK and he could see that I wasn't.

"I'm so sorry that your sister is dead I wish I could bring her back for you but I cant, I cant." He said, but at the same time he looked a little guilty for a reason I do not know. I mean I know he didn't kill my sister because all of her blood was drained out of her body and a human cant do that.

"Its OK it wasn't your fault. Even though I didn't know her I still feel the pain of her death and this pain is a pain I have never felt before, well at least not since my mom died." I said and another tear rolled down my cheek.

All of a sudden Coldon was very close to me and he wiped the tear away as he looked into my eyes, and when I looked into his deep purple eyes I saw affection in them. As I looked into his eyes I noticed that our faces were getting closer and closer then finally his lips met mine, and I never wanted this kiss to end but suddenly there was a loud bell like sound and I knew it just wasn't in my head so I broke away from my new lover.

"What is that?" Coldon asked me.

"That's the alarm bell! The city is being attacked! NO! My people!" I yelled out over the sounds of the bell being rung and jumped on to my horse.

I quickly ran back to my city with Coldon on my heals in fear that many people would be killed. I ran to the temple while trying to avoid the men who were trying to take over my city. I saw one of my fathers soldiers dead and noticed that he still had 2 swords in his hands so I took them from him and started to attack the men who were invading my beautiful city. Out of the corner of my eye I saw an enemy soldier about to kill a little girl that was trying to hide behind my horse so I ran over to the little girl and slit the mans through and he silently died in pain.

All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my back and I fell to my knees with the little girl still in my arms.

"Princess! Princess! My Princess!" the little girl yelled.

"Run little one! RUN!" I yelled back at her. The little girl immediately did what I said and ran as fast as she could but was stopped in her tracks when an aro went through her stomach and she started to bleed out, But all of a sudden Coldon was biting her neck and the girl just laid there, she looked peaceful now… was she dead?

Right after Coldon bit the little girl he was by me biting my neck and I screamed in pain but the pain soon stopped and he spoke: "I am so sorry Katalina but I can not stand by and see my true love die." With that said I then blacked out.

AUTHORS NOTE: *OK this one was a little short also and once again im sorry. But for the people who review my stories: Do you think it was a little too soon to introduce the invasion?*
