**In the morning**
Rachel walks into Kiara's room with a cup of tea.
Kiara stood there without moving or blinking, her eyes were swollen and red.
Kiara, what's the problem?? Rachel said keeping the tea on the table as she walks towards Kiara.
Kiara, what is the matter,
Did king Donald do anything??? Rachel said in a scare voice.
Did he threatened you with your mom.
Mom!! Kiara said as "mom" rings into her ears remembering all her cherished moments with her mom .
The long silence by Kiara is broken as she screams and falls to the ground.
Mom!!! Kiara cries out.
Kiara, what happened??
Rachel said raising Kiara to the bed.
Mom!! no..
Please come back.. Kiara cries out.
Kiara, please tell me what happened to mom!!
Rachel yells at Kiara with tears rolling down her cheeks.
NO.. Kiara cries out.
Talk!! Please say something, Rachel said
She.. she is..
He.. he ki..
Rachel holds Kiara hands.
Kiara, don't cry. Just tell me what happened to mom.
h.. he.. killed her.
Rachel lets go of Kiara's hands as she falls to her kneels.
She is dead, he killed her.
n... no!!
h.. he is a liar and he must..
He must have told you that story to scary you, Rachel said
h... he is a coward and...
Rachel laughs with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Oh. You are joking,
Kiara, you shouldn't joke about something like that.
You are joking right?? Rachel said looking at Kiara.
Right!!!
No, I am not.
It isn't any story, this is reality. H.. He killed my mom.
Kiara said as she breaks down in tears.
H... how.. can he kill her.
He is a coward and..
He said that...
Rachel said holding Kiara's hand.
A week ago, she had escaped and was looking for me, when a soldier saw her and..
The soldier shot her and before the doctor could have treated her ....
She.. died.
Kiara said with tears rolling down her cheeks.
Pull yourself together, don't cry.
Rachel said as she wipes Kiara's tears and help Kiara sit on the bed .
Please calm down, I will be back soon
Please don't leave me, Kiara said holding Rachel hand.
OK, Rachel sits down next to Kiara. trying to make her feel less sorrowful.
Do you want to leave the palace?? Rachel asked looking at Kiara.
I will leave but not now, Kiara said.
Why?? Rachel said with curiosity
He already killed your mom.
That's the reason I will stay.
I want to avenge my mom's death, I will make his life a living hell, he will die in a more painful manner than the way he killed my mom.
Kiara said in anger.
I know, but not like this after you recover, Rachel said.
Recover from what??
Kiara said sitting up.
Look at your hand....
Do you think you can defeat him with a injured hand.
In two days time, we will leave this palace and we will return for war,
But why in two days time ?? Kiara asked
we will...
Rachel stopped Kiara as she looked at her.
I need to get help.
From who?? Kiara asked in curiosity
You will know when you meet them .
Just two more days and we will be out of here.
But how?? Kiara asked trying to get up.
Kiara, just rest.
And always be alert the king has lost his hold on you, so he would think you will hurt him or run away and he will surely plan something deadly.
OK.
I have to go, Rachel said.
Where??
To get your food it is almost half past three.
I am not hungry just stay here.
Kiara, what did I just say??
What did you say?? Kiara said innocently.
We will leave here in two days time and you need strength. For that, you must eat and drink. Rachel scolded Kiara like an angry mom.
OK. Kiara said as she managed to smile.
**King Donald's room **
King Donald sat on the bed relaxing and thinking about what Kiara might do.
Hmmm, Kiara already knows the truth about her mother's death and she will surely try to kill and destroy me.
But unfortunately she doesn't know the whole truth about her mother's death.
But I have to finish that I have started.
King Donald said as he got up to go out.
**The night **
Rachel and Kiara were discussing about how they will leave.
Where would we stay after leaving ??
Kiara said.
Don't worry, I have prepared for everything. Rachel said.
Kiara will you take anything from here??.
No, never
I will not take anything from here except the peace, I will destroy Donald that he would regret the day he heard my name.
OK, go and sleep, we have a lot to do.
OK, Kiara lays on the bed.
Good night, Rachel said smiling at her.
Good night too.
Please don't go, Kiara said looking at Rachel.
OK, Rachel said walking towards Kiara.
Now, close your eyes and relax.
Rachel keeps petting Kiara's hair until she falls asleep.
Thank goodness she is sleeping. Rachel whispers leaving the room quietly.
**King Donald room **
King Donald was getting ready to leave.
Welcome, King Donald.
The demon said sitting on the bed beside king Donald.
Ah!!! King Donald yelled running from the demon .
I have done what you asked, King Donald said kneeling down.
You didn't say what I asked you to say.
You told the half truth .
I'm sorry please forgive me.
I will go and tell her the truth.
No, the demon said.
** Kiara's room **
After some hours, Kiara wakes up and couldn't find Rachel..
She said she wouldn't leave .
I will go and look for her.
Kiara's said as she walks out of the room.
Where is Rachel?? Kiara murmured silently as she worked around the palace.
Kiara walks into the game room.
Mom, Kiara said remembering the last game.
Kiara runs out of the room.
I will go to the pool, Kiara said.
Kiara walks towards the pool as she looks into the pool.
Why did this happen to me?? Kiara said sitting beside the pool.
Why me?? A familiar voice said
Rachel?? Kiara said seeing Rachel sitting on the floor crying and a man wiping her tears.
Xavier, why me?? Rachel said crying.
Why my mom??
Mom?? Kiara said struggling to see his face.
Don't cry, if you are weak then who will be with Kiara.
How does he know me??
Kiara asked herself.
It's time.
Are you sure?? The man said.
Yes, be ready tomorrow, I will send him to hell. Rachel said in a dangerous voice.
Tell Dexter it's time, Rachel said as she hugs the man.
Who is Dexter??
Where did they go to?? Kiara said looking around for them.
I better go back to the room,
Kiara walks back into the palace,
Ah!!! help, King Donald yelled rolling down the stairs.
Kiara looks at him with rage and anger.
I feel like stabbing him to death. Kiara said looking at him.
**In the morning **
Kiara walks back and front waiting for Rachel.
Long live my Queen
Kiara turns hoping it would be Rachel
What the problem?? Kiara said to the maid.
I brought your tea.
Why?? Kiara asked
Just leave it there and call Rachel.
The maid stood there quietly
Why are you still here, Kiara said looking at the maid.
My Queen, there is no one called Rachel..
