The next day, I went to meet Diamond downstairs. Ivy bumed into me with a cup of hot tea in her hand. Unfortunately the tea poured on my dress, I glared at her and she gave me wicked smile.
Now Damian wouldn't scold Ivy but he would gladly scold me without any hesitation. "Oops I didn't see you there" Ivy said. "Yeah I know, that's why I'd ask Damian to get you a pair of glasses" I said. I smiled before leaving.
"What's the problem?" Diamond asked. "Nothing....I can handle it" I said. "Alright" Diamond replied. "So where we are going?" I asked. "We are going to see if the gardener has roses for Silver" Diamond replied. "Wait.....roses for Silver?" I asked in confusion. "Yes" Diamond said.
"You do care about Silver don't you?" I asked. Diamond was silent. "You love him don't you?" I asked. "No I don't" Diamond said. "Come on Diamond the truth is staring at us in the eyes and you still deny it" I said. "I don't.....I just...I'm a Queen and he's a..."
"Vampire, I've heard that one before" I said. "Let's go" Diamond said. We both went to the gardeners house. He gave Diamond a bouquet of roses. we went back to the Castle immediately cause Damian had some important announcement he wanted to tell everyone.
Diamond and I went to the training ground. As much as I didn't want to attend, Diamond dragged me to the training ground. We got there and we met Damian sitting on a throne, Diamond went to sit on her throne and I sat beside her. We all sat down waiting for the big announcement but turns out he wanted us to join him for a wrestling game.
This is so annoying, I was about to leave but Diamond stopped. The games began, I saw a Vampire who's so huge and strong. He has muscles that's as strong as a lion, he even looked like a giant.
People cheered for him, the man roared like a lion. "Bring in the challenger" The announcer yelled. A boy who's about fifteen was dragged to the battle ground.
The boy stares at me. "Help me" The boys voice echoed in my head. I watched as the boy was dragged to Damian. "Your life would be speared if you're able to defeat my champion" Damian said. "Why is the boy here?" I asked. "He's here because his mother is a Fairy who married a Wizard and now Damian wants to kill him" Diamond said.
"Why?" I asked. "Because it's forbidden for a magical creature to marry outside their species" Diamond said. The boy was given a sword and he couldn't use it properly, The man almost killed. The battle continued till the boy was almost swashed. The boy could bearly stand.
"Please Arleta help me.....I have a little sister. She's all I've got" The boy said in my head. The man picked up his sword, he was about to stab the little boy who could barely stand. "STOP!!!" I yelled. I jumped down the railing to the battle ground. I rushed to the boy.
I heard people gasp but I ignores them. I held the boy's hand. "Thank you" He said in a whisper. "How dare you interrupt the match?" King Morley asked. "How can you all enjoy this? How can you sit back and watch this little boy suffer?..... Just because his mother married a Wizard? How heartless could you all be so heartless? What if he was your child?" I asked.
"He could never be my son" King Morley said. "I know cause you're so heartless and selfish like the others" I said to Damian. "Watch your tongue young lady, you're speaking to his Majesty" Queen Eloise said.
"Well I think his Majesty should have a little heart...you just can't ask a boy to die because of the sins of his parents?" I asked looking at Damian. "Silence!!!" King Douglas yelled.
"Can't Damian speak for himself?" I asked. The man behind placed a sword on my neck, Damian signaled him to stand down. Damian looks at me. "What do you want?" Damian asked. "I would fight your champion, if I win the boy goes" I said. "And if you loose?" Damian asked. "I'd take his place and you can have my head" I said.
"No!!!" Diamond yelled. "Very well" Damian said. Is this the guy people say cares about me? This is the guy I was told would protect me? Who ever came up with that idea?. "Pick any weapon" Damian said. The boy held my legs. "Don't do it" The boy said. "Don't worry about me" I said. "Let the force be with you" The boy said.
I went to the weapon stand, they had so many. I honestly don't know which to pick. I closed my eyes and my hand touched something. I opened my eyes and it was a beautiful sword that had a red ruby on it. "You hold the King's sword...so he might be with you. I just hope you don't end up dead cause that would be a shame...." The man said.
The man charged at me and we began to fight. Honestly I have no idea how to fight. The man is seriously kicking my butt right now. Anyway after so many minutes of getting my ass kicked by this giant in front of me, he kicked me and I fell to the ground.
"You are no hero.....you're just a pathetic weakling who was disowned by her Father.....do you know what I think? Your Father realized that you were worthless that's why he threw you out of his house." The man said.
I fell on knees, no one has ever said that about me before. I'm not worthless, I just didn't marry the man my Father chose for me. Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and those tears turned to anger.
It felt like I was about to explode in anger, I picked up the sword and my mind was completely blank, all I want to do is to kill this man before me.
My body was so hot, it was as if my body was on fire. I picked up the sword and I ran to him, I don't know how but I fought like a professional. I kicked the man, he flew to a tree and he literally broke the tree in half. I slowly walked to him, I grabbed his hand and I twisted it. The man screames in pain.
"You know for the King's champion you're pretty weak" I said. I picked him up and I threw him like he was nothing. I looked at Damian with anger. Some of Damian's men rushed to me. I fought them all, it got to a point where all I wanted to do was to kill people. I stretched forth my hand and the sword flew to my hand.
I ran to a man, I was about to cut off his head but I couldn't cause I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and I saw Crystal flying above me, I ignored her. I went to man but Crystal used her wings to make a strong wind that sent me few feet away from the man. I ran back to meet the man but Crystal looked at me, she used her fire breath to stop me.
I walked into the flames but nothing happened. I walked up to Crystal and she immediately bowed to me. I placed my hand on her head and pet her. After touching her I came back to my senses. I fell to my knees again, Crystal helped me up. I looked at Damian. "We had a deal.....now let the boy go" I said to Damian. Damian smiled at me, Did I just see that? Or am I dreaming? Did Damian just smile at me?
"Let the boy go" Damian said. Diamond rushed to me, she almost hugged me to death. "Lilith are you alright?" Diamond asked. "I'm good" I replied. "Woah.....Is that your dragon?" Diamond asked. "Yes....I'd like you to meet Crystal" I said. Diamond touched her. "Although I'm confused.....how did she get this big?" I asked.
"Dragons have this strange growth" Diamond said. I placed my head on Crystal's face. "Thank you" I whispered to Crystal, I kissed her before she flew away. I turned to the boy, I dragged Diamond to the boy and she gave him a potion that would help relieve the pain.
Diamond healed the boy. "Let's go inside" Diamond said. Some men careied the boy inside. I stopped cause I'm super dizzy, I tried to get a hold of myself but I couldn't. Diamond came to me. "Lilith are you sure you're alright?" Diamond asked. "I don't think so....if you'd excuse me I think I'm gonna pass out now" I said and eventually I blacked out.
I opened my eyes and I found myself in my room. I looked at the time and it's 4:05pm. Oh my gosh, I have to meet Dahlia. I jumped off the bed and I went outside. I saw Silver coming upstairs with Damian so I hid behind a flower vase. they finally passed and thank goodness they didn't see me.
I ran out of the Castle and I made way to the lake. Thank God Dahlia was still there, I met her sitting on a rock. "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.....I was actually a little bit busy and I lost track of time" I said. "It's fine" Dahlia said. "I hope you didn't wait too long?" I asked. "No I actually just got here" Dahlia replied.
"Alright.....I just need a favor to ask" I said. "What it is?" Dahlia asked. "I want you to you to make the King fall for you" I said. "What?" Dahlia asked. "Yeah...think about it, if he loves you then you'd become Queen and then you'd have everything in your control" I said.
"What's in it for you?" Dahlia asked. "Well I'd get the chance to go back home" I said. "OK....so how do I I meet the King?" Dahlia asked. "I'd introduce you to him tomorrow....that's if you're interested" I said.
"Sure.....what are friends for?" Dahlia asked. "Good" I said. I left Dahlia and I went back to Castle, I ran to my room and pretended to be fast asleep. I can't wait, once Dahlia and Damian fall head over hills for each other, I'd pack my things and leave.
