Chapter 16 - The princess with the unusual Heartbeat

Lucas coughed aloud as Anastasia regains herself and quickly frees herself from Lex embrace. What happened 'Your Highness?' We just heard you scream. Is something wrong? Perhaps you don't like the room? Anastasia thinking. I just can't worry the others about my hallucinations. I have to keep it a secret. I'm fine Lucas. She replied. You don't need to worry about me. As Prince Lex said earlier, I just need to rest and I will be fine. Lucas answered. If you say so. Just let me know if you're uncomfortable about anything... Anastasia nodded as she tries to close her eyes but couldn't. For she couldn't get the thought of the mysterious looking princess out of her head. I wonder what happened to her? Perhaps she was cursed by a mysterious witch and made to wander around the castle forever ....

Lucas wondering. 'Your Highness', do you think this castle is actually haunted by ghosts and evil spirits? Lex answered. Who knows…. He stared at princess Anastasia sadly. You can see how scared she looks right now. Lucas replied. I don't think I've seen her in such a frightened state before. I just hope she's alright. If there was something I could do to cheer her up…. Of course, there's nothing you can do!..... Aren't you as good as useless. You can't even touch the woman you love. A voice echoed aloud.... Lucas turned around in shock. Did you hear a voice just spoke now? He stared inquisitively at the confused Lex . Who are you talking about? Lex replied. The strange voice continues to echo. Don't bother asking him. You're the only one who can hear me and besides, don't you have an unfinished business to take care of? Lucas mutters. Who the hell are you and what do you want?! You've been the one troubling 'princess Anastasia', aren't you? The strange voice replies. You can't get rid of me even if you want to. The voice begins to laugh devilishly. You can call me your worst nightmare! Hahahaha! There's no escape for you guys! You're all destined to die in this castle!. Lucas Exclaimed angrily! Get away from me you monstrous, blood sucking demon! He quickly pulls out his sword as he aims it at Lex whose physical appearance had suddenly become that of an ugly looking demon to Lucas... Lex confused as he tries to calm him down. You have to calm down Lucas. This isn't real.

Anastasia and Diana both looked surprised at Lucas strange behavior. The voice of the demon continues to echo. It's either you kill me or I end the pathetic life of your precious Anastasia! How about I make her death so painless.... Lucas screamed aloud. Shut the hell up you monster! As he tries to use his sword to strike at Lex but he quickly dodges it as he immediately draws out his own sword to defend himself. Lex exclaimed. What has come over you Lucas?! This is not you. Diana speaks up. There's a possibility he's hallucinating and he thinks you're the demon in his imagination. Anastasia feeling concerned. How do we help him then? We just need to calm him down and make him believe he's just hallucinating. she replied. Please Lucas, just drop your sword before someone gets hurt. Pleaded Anastasia. Trust me Lucas, none of this is real. It's all just in your imagination…. Demon smirks. I guess you love her too much to believe her lies. Why don't you ask her how she truly feels about you? I'm so confident she will reject you bluntly.
