Chapter 16 - CHAPTER 16 - Death of a Queen

It was morning in the palace as the family were still rejoicing over the married life of Alicia and Frank. it was also the day Frank will take Alicia to his house as it was tradition for the husband to carry the wife . The couples were to leave during the evening because the King and Queen had ordered for a feast to be held in the name of the newly married couples. Everyone one gathered at the big hall were the dinning was positioned to have the feast, but little did they that someone unexpected will visit the Reign castle.

Soon everybody started eating, the couples were seated and also eating, and the family members of Frank were also seated. after a couple of minutes, the hall door opened and came in a beautiful lady in her twenties. she had the same features of Keturah.

Everyone in the family looked at the young but matured looking lady that walked In and everyone were quite surprised because this person hasn't visited for 12 years and everyone had wandered where she went to but gave up after many tries of finding her.

"Zendaya?!" Keturah stood up as she looked at her in shock and tears filled her eyes, she ran towards her and gave her a long hug as tears rolled down her eyes and Zendaya hugged her back but had a plain reaction on her face.

"Hey mini me, how are you doing" Zendaya said as Keturah laughed and hugged her more.

Zendaya and Keturah are twin sisters who were separated at 12year old due to some problems with her family members. Zendaya had always been the one with a strong heart and never gave face to anyone, not even her own father.

Her Mum stood up and separated the two so that they could finish breakfast and talk after a while.

"Good day Mother" Zendaya greeted as she also gave her mom a hug and kissed her cheeks. Queen Pricila told her to have a seat and dished out food on her plate to eat.

After an hour, everyone was done eating and were ready to go back to their daily activities of the day. Queen Pricila went back to her quarters where the king was handling some official matters regarding the closed border with Vampville and Southern empire and it's causing a riff also may cause war.

Queen Pricila entered her room, when by then the king was done handling the matters. The king's eyes lingered all over her curvy body , though she was old but she could still work that curvy body. She noticed his eyes looking at her and she felt uncomfortable. She decided to leave the room , but before she could leave she heard his deep voice.

"And where do you think your going" he asked as he moved towards her and she moved back, each step he took towards her made her move backwards, she moved backwards until her Bach hid the door with a loud

Thud!!!

she was about to sneak past him, but he grabbed her and pinned her on the door, though he was quite handsome, even though he was in his seventies but due to the fact Vampires don't age, so he still had his handsome features and the queen still had her beautiful features. He grabbed her and Kissed her ferociously on the lips without her concept as she struggled to free her self from his clutches. But, the king threw her on the bed, she tried running away but he grabbed and tied her both hand above her head and tied it to the bed. He took her by the hair to make her still and kissed her. She bit his lips and he tasted that metallic blood taste.

"Wow, you're getting bold by the day" he said as he licked his lips and tore her clothes only her bra was left visible to see. He unbuckled her bra and her breasts were left to see, she was embarrassed and cried so much. he got tired of the cry and shut her with a befitting slap, she sobbed but didn't make a noise.

"Good, by the way, I haven't had blood in a while and the ones I drink are becoming tasteless in my mouth. I need new and fresh blood." he said as he bent down to her neck and sniffed her fresh scent that made him shiver with need. His tongue circled her neck before sinking his fangs in her neck and made her whimper in agonizing pain. After he was done drawing blood he stood up and went out, leaving her half naked as she cried hard and loud. She dragged her self to the cabinet and brought out a substance, but before she did that, she took out a pen and paper from the same cabinet and wrote a long letter.

Keturah was in her room, when a maid from the palace barged in with a frightening look in her face. Keturah knew something was wrong and closed the book she was reading before standing up.

"What is it, Agnese" Keturah asked the young girl in her front as she was shaking and shivering

"My princess, it-it-it" she stammered

"Speak!!" Keturah screamed

"it's your mother" Agnese finally spoke up.

Keturah rushed to her mom's room and saw her lifeless body in the ground, she fell on the ground near her mom's body and creamed her name and cried begging her to wake up and not leave.

But I guess no cry can bring the dead back.

She cried and cried, until her father sent the guards to take her out of her room cause she was beginning to swell. Keturah told them to take to her to the green house as she will bury her mom's body there so that her soul will rest in peace. Keturah stood up and was about to leave when something caught her eyes. She went to the cabinet beside her mom's bed and pulled out the paper that was under the jug filled with blood. it wasn't her blood,but the blood of someone else to feed on when thirsty for blood. She opened the paper and to her surprise it was written in her mother's name and writing, so obviously it was written by her mom before she passed away.

she opened it and it read

"My dear daughter Keturah,

I know I'm not with you here right now but I have gone to rest in a better place that I deserve, but I want you to know that I'm always with you and I will never leave you. I'm sure you're wondering why I wrote this and why I'm not here, you see, your father tortured me when I was alive . he will always hit me, tie me up and bring his concubines into our marital bedroom. He will have sex with me without my concept. he has too many wives, I'm his first wives but he never saw me as one . the pain was unbearable, so I decided to poison my self ...." Keturah fell on her knees and cried hard as she continued to read the letter

" I couldn't bear the pain anymore, but before I died, I wanted to tell you the kind of godforsaken bastard he was. please take care of your self and always remember your mom loves you my child. Good bye forever till we meet again"

Keturah cried out loud as she cursed her father.

"Mother, I promise you that I will avenge your death, that is my oath".
