It was early morning in the Scorpion Castle and Lord Ziran come grumpily to Leander."It is not my turn yet."
Then he heard Sienna sob and his brows furrowed."What is wrong with the queen? " his eyes gleamed dangerously at Leander.
"King Sarcos came at night to visit, he was a bit hard on her and after he left she is sobbing all night. I can't listen to it anymore."Leander was getting upset, he got no patience with females and their petty problem. "Please, just make her stop crying, I feel like I want to break my head on the wall," Leander sighed.
Ziran was worried. He was dying to see Sienna. He knocked on the door."Who is it? "Sienna sobbed.
" Lord Ziran, I came to see you, Sienna." the burly tiger asked gently.
"I will see you in the garden."Sienna wished for some cool morning air.
She picked herself up, went to the bathroom, put a new tunic on and opened the door. The brutish Lord Ziran was staring at her. His heart throbbed painfully when he looked into her red eyes. He wanted to take her with him and protect her from everyone.
"Please, help me to the gardens Lord Ziran, I'm in pain."She wiped her eyes. It made her feel better to see a familiar face. Ziran looked at her. She was still sobbing and her blue eyes were even stronger thru her tears. Leander was staring too, he has never seen her in this state.
Ziran saw she need a hug. He picked her up gently and took her to one of the gazebos in the garden."Tell me everything."He sat her in his lap like a child. Sienna leaned onto his hard shoulder.
" Sarcos was so cold yesterday. He did not even tell me, he love me. He was jealous of Thurssa. I do not know, what I did wrong. It was so scary in there...They will be all upset with me now. Sharchan and Tyrell, they will not love me anymore. It is so painful. I have enough, I want to go away, I want to go to the wild grotto and be by myself, I want to go home, I can't bear it here anymore!" She sobbed thru her tears.
Leander stood behind listening in awe. He has never seen an explosion like this before and suddenly he was glad he is single. Ziran held Sienna's head on his chest, she sobbed and sobbed. Ziran felt like his heart will explode. He could feel her sadness and maxed-out emotions. He petted her golden hair, trying to coax her, but it was not working. He lifted his eyes to Leander."Send for King Tyrell immediately."Leander nodded and called another guard."Send fast falcon to king Tyrell with a note to come here."
Tyrell and Sharchan were already halfway to Sand City, it took them a bit longer because Sharchan wanted to stop to pick some things from one of his grottos, when a falcon dropped a note. "Come fast."Tyrell read aloud and looked at Sharchan who was slithering next to him." I told you these days are dangerous. She will be unreasonable and oversensitive. Just hug her, kiss her, listen to her and do everything she wants when we come there."
When Tyrell and Sharchan came to Scorpion Castle, Tyrell went straight to see Sienna and Sharchan went to see Rem first. Tyrell found Siena still sobbing in Ziran's embrace. Siena had her eyes closed and was sobbing quietly. Ziran stroked her hair."King Tyrell is here to see you."
Sienna looked at Tyrell's handsome face and kind blue eyes. She remembered the iron hammer with the" You broke my heart" sign and she start sobbing even more. She turned her face from Tyrell."I want to go away."She burry her head in Ziran's chest. She wished to hide in the darkest hole. Her heart hurt like hell. She knew she hurt Tyrell badly with her letter, she had to write in the Spider castle and felt guilty and wrong.
Ziran was confused. He looked at Tyrell. Tyrell come to Sienna and touched her shoulder gently. Sienna did not bulge."Sienna, don't you even look at me, my love?"Tyrell asked patiently.
"I saw you, you can go. I don't want to see you now! I want to go away!"She cried in pain. Tyrell remembered Sharchan's words, "she will be unreasonable, sensitive and wild with emotions."He thought and sighed.
"I take you wherever you want to go, "Tyrell said gently. His heart hurt a lot now.
"I don't want to go with you. Go by yourself and take your stupid hammer with you. You can hug it at night, "Sienna hissed hiding in Ziran's chest. Ziran looked in surprise at Sienna, she held him tight and raged.
"Let's drop her in the pool to calm her down," Leander suggested. He was standing near Ziran in shock.
Tyrell shook his head. Sharchan just came to the gardens as well. He decided to go a bit after Tyrell, he was curious, about what Sienna will do. He was talking to Rem, trying to find out, what is going on. Sharchan knew Sienna can be difficult. He looked at Sienna sobbing on Ziran, holding him tight and hopeless Tyrell with a painful look on his face. Ziran noticed Sharchan's angry gaze."Sienna, king Sharchan is here."
Sienna glanced her tearful eyes on handsome Scharchan and her heart flinched a little."Tell him to go drink his own tears."She sobbed in anger and turned her face away.
Sharchan looked at her with wild interest. He was kind of fascinated by her strong emotions. He could feel them like a cloud of desperation and hurt around her." Sienna, look at me," he ordered her in strong voice.
"No, go drink your tears from your stupid goblet you cruel snake. I don't want to see you right now!"She cried in pain." I have enough of everything and everybody, I want to go home." She sobbed.
Sharchan saw her emotions are stuck at a freezing point. "Give me the queen," he ordered Ziran. Ziran looked at Tyrell, he nodded, but Ziran shook his head. He will do only what Sienna wants as long as they are in Sand City.
Tyrell and Sharchan glared thunders at Ziran. Ziran stood up holding Sienna tight. She was stuck on him and did not dare to breathe."Will Ziran give me away? "She thought."He has not much of choice, Tyrell is his king and Sharchan is stronger."Sienna tighten her lips in expectation. There was no way to avoid her strong mates.
Ziran did not trust the snake with Sienna."No."Ziran said straight."Only if the queen wished it."
Leander opened his eyes wide. Ziran is asking for death."The love makes man fools for sure."He thought but was a bit jealous of brave Ziran.
Sharchan come closer to Ziran, who hold Sienna in his arms and punched his face hard."You give me the queen or I kill you on the spot, "he hissed.
Sienna lifted her head and saw blood coming down Ziran's lips, but he still smiled brutishly." I can't fight you back, my hands are full. You will have to kill me then." he said confidently.
"No," Sienna wiped Ziran's blood with her sleeve and sober up a bit." I don't want you to be killed. Thank you!" she kissed his cheek." Give me to Sharchan, please," she said. Sienna's heart fluttered a bit. Ziran must like her a lot. Ziran came closer to Sharchan reluctantly to give him Sienna, but she jump off him and ran to the door."Leave me alone you horrid snake!" she called.
Sharchan furrowed his brows and caught her in a second, he coiled her with his tail like a little rabbit. Sienna could not move, so she just put her hands on her eyes and sobbed. She felt scared he will rage now. Sharchan took her into his embrace. He held her tight, he felt her soft shaking body and it feel good. Sienna was fighting him at first and cried in anger, but then she went tired and limp. She curled into a little ball on his chest and sobbed.
Ziran watched with a painful expression. He will become stronger than Sharchan one day and then he will show him how to drink his tears. He was raging inside. The whole of Crystal City was making fun of Sienna's gifts. Someone leaked it out after Sienna sent them back to them.
Sharchan called Tyrell with a nod of his head and went to take her to her room. Sienna's mind was all mixed up. Her thoughts were flying thru a burning spider, to angry Sarcos, to her poems, to Tyrell's broken heart hammer, to the touch of Thurssa's hands, to raging Sharchan, to Ziran's blood. She was overwhelmed.
Sharchan sat with Sienna on the bed and held her in his embrace tight. Tyrel took her hands of her eyes by a slight force and held them down. Sienna was sobbing and hiding her head in Sharchan's chest curled up like a scared kitten. Tyrel looked at Sharchan worriedly. Sharchan lifted Sienna's chin and looked into her teary eyes.
"Sienna."Sienna looked into Sharchan's wild yellow eyes. She felt of wave of fear and panic.
"I'm sorry," She sobbed and her body was shaking. She was scared of how his crazy snake will react if even gentle Sarcos were brutish to her.
Sharchan sighted and kissed her trembling lips. He felt immense sadness from her."Sienna, I love you. Tyrell loves you and Sarcos loves you. Why are you crying for? " Sienna let her head fall on his shoulder, her lips were shaking from his kisses. She breathes deeply."Is just too much for me, everything hurt. He was angry with me and you will be angry too, you will not love me anymore."
"Sienna, what happened? What you did do?"Sharchan asked strongly.
"I don't know, I was just trying to stay alive. He saved me from a huge spider, everything was ok, and then yesterday night he was upset with me and pretended he was not."
"Don't worry, I will find out, why he was upset."Sharchan coaxed her, "It was me who ordered you, not to resist any king. "
"But I did nothing with Spider King, I only wrote him poems to stall! Sarcos thinks I loved him and is upset."Sienna sobbed.
"Even if you mated with him, he should be not upset with you, "Sharchan noted. It was his fault you get caught in the first place. He should protect you better."
Tyrell looked at Sharchan and touched Sienna's cheek."Come let's make you a nice warm bath with sweet-smelling salt, you relax a little, hm?" He looked into her teary blue eyes and kissed her hand. "Sienna, we love you, you can't imagine how worried we were about you."
