Emily walked to the hill looking broken and sad at the same time. Even if she knew that Doris would be brought back to life, she still can't predict what would happen to Kai and the others that are very close to her.
Emily sat on the hill as she watched the ocean. She didn't want to dive in. Her heart wouldn't bare seeing Doris' murdered body and she won't also like to see Jessica's face.
"Why did you leave after they stabbed, Her Highness?" Leon's broken voice startled Emily. The girl looked surprised as she saw the Vampire.
"Wh...what are you doing here?" Emily asked and Leon went face down. She couldn't believe that this Vampire followed her all the way here. This place was meant for a mermaid, what the hell was he doing here?
"Is she not your friend, your closest friend? A mermaid likes you! Why didn't you save her... You knew from the start right?" Leon remembered seeing her peeping and eavesdropping on Melissa all the time. He suspected her moves then.
"Yes! She's my friend! She's my sister! But I can't do anything about it...That's her fate!!" Emily roared at him as she frowned deeply. Taking the blame on her would only anger her. Emily tried so much to convince Jessica about the plan but they turned deaf years to her.
"Get out of here. I don't want to see your face. Please leave" Emily said languidly as she looked at the ocean again.
"You are going back?" Leon asked.
"Doris' body is with us and I'm sure her mother would have taken care of it. You can leave" She said without dashing him a glance.
Seeing that Leon hasn't taken a step, she jumped into the ocean startling Leon.

Jessica sat on her throne with a troubled mind. She waited in anticipation for someone but the person wasn't with her yet.
"Your Majesty... Ryan is here" A maid announced.
"Let him in," Jessica said aloud.
Within a second, the man that she has been waiting for came in with a smile.
"I'm sorry for being late. You know that it's against our rule for me to be here. I'm just here to help you anyway" He said in a casual voice still wearing a smile on his face.
"I know. You are welcome" Jessica swam to him looking pleased with his arrival.
"You made it unannounced that you've found your daughter. Everyone in this kingdom doesn't know a word about it. Why? Don't you want it to be celebrated?" Ryan questioned and Jessica shook her head
"She was here...Once! I don't want anyone to know about it until she is finally awake. She can protect herself even if I'm not there to protect her. I just need her to be alive. I want to destroy the human and Vampire part in her so that she can stay here with me forever" Jessica said and Ryan smiled.
"You can't keep her here with you. You are locking her up. She's used to the land, so let her be" Ryan said and Jessica frowned.
"Do you know how long it took me to have her? Do you know what it took me? Now that I have her, why are you depriving me of my right?" Jessica yelled.
Ryan sighed
"Queen Jessica, being a mother isn't only by that alone. Forcing her to be your side will only make her hate you the more. What you need to do is to support her with her choice. When she needs you the most, he is there to help her. At night when cold, she should be there to cuddle her... You have to do what will make her love you and not what will make her hate you" Ryan explain while tears rolled down Jessica's eyes.
"It won't be easy, but you have to do it. There would be a time that she will choose to say with you because of your undefined love." Ryan said as he patted her shoulder.
"I will help you bring her back so that you have your daughter. Where is she?"
"She's in the secret room in the ice sarcophagus" Jessica answered. Without uttering more words, Ryan walked away.
