Chereads / Keys : Unlocking The Demon's Heart / Chapter 5 - ( BALL : MEETING HER FAMILY)

Chapter 5 - ( BALL : MEETING HER FAMILY)

The year 1821

Magical things existed even creatures of different colors and shape did exist. From vampires , wolves, goddess, petalroses , demons, half blood gods alot did exist back then. Some were fine existing in the same world but some weren't happy to co exist with them they wanted nothing to do with the others.

A war took place between the humans and the demons . They grew hate for the demons and decided to move far away from the demons. In a small town of Ornia where only humans . They mated with each other and hated the demons.

From stuffs Kiran knew now her fate has been intertwined with him the day she touched his blood. But she knew nothing about , nor the title he holds so what now.

Is this her destiny or what

I looked down at her middle size feet before glancing over at the mirror infront of her. The person right now in the mirror looked completely different like a grown version of her young self. What is happening here, was this place curse.

Actually this place isn't curse but being in the human world slowed down her growth rapidly. Now being at this place where she is supposed to de 14 years ago before that tragedy happened has revealed who she really is.

I was struck at the person in the mirror, is this a spell or a freaking joke .

I heard a creaking, and the door opens wide. A dark shadow hovered around the scent was familiar that of him.

But not a sound reached my ear like he wasn't here but l felt a presence.

Hurriedly l got to the door trying to open it but l felt a touch on my hand.

The air became freezing, darkness fills the air .

<< Hmm, remember me>> someone whispered in my ear.

<< No...o>> l utter with great difficulty my saliva chocking me.

<< That sad , l who have left you if you remembered me >>. I remembered him but l can't look pitiful infront of him. Nope not now.

<< Can l go back home >> l asked not taken my eyes off the door.

<< Not yet,or should l say never. My bride >>

<< Bride, you must be mistaken. Am human>>

<< Haha, human wifey as time goes on you will see >>. He left but not the room but what seems to be another room .

I felt a sudden blow on my neck. Lost consciousness for quite a long time but don't know how long.

When l woke up , l saw a different decor.

Totally different from the one l was in .

Two ladies in purple stood beside me looking at me watching my every move.

That weird , my headache aches. But what happened and who hit me.

Why did they look at me like that , was it because am human ?

<< Princess Kiran >>

That name sounded familiar. Yes , grandma once mentioned this name but that not my name why are they calling me by that name.

<< Clarabelle, that my name >> . I said. They looked at me and nodded . I needed to get information about this place.

<< Princess Kiran there is a ball taken place this evening . We need to get you ready . Your Highness asked as to get you ready >>

<< What are your names please>>. I asked , a look of fear flashed on their face. It like l said something wrong.

<< Princess , we are just maids>>

So that why , but there is nothing wrong. I didn't want to voice my thoughts out.

Not now .

I just allowed them to bath and dress me . At first l hated the thought of some bathe me even when grandma bath me l hated it but l couldn't do much but allow her .

That reminded me where was grandma since the time l came here l haven't seen her.

<< Ahem can l ask you a question but before that . What are your names >> I took this chance to take the comb away from one.

<< Cherry and the one beside me is Agatha>> the one l took the comb from replied.

<< I can't differentiate between you guys >>

<< It guess it because we are twins Princess >>

<< That why , l wish to have twins like you >> I signed giving back the comb to Cherry.

They where done dressing me. I looked at myself still not coming to the term that now l looked totally different from who l am.

The corset dress really tighten my stomach making it flatter . I couldn't breathe in this but had no choice.

<< Who's room is this Agatha>> I asked , Cherry was busy preparing getting a hairpin for me .

<< Yours until you get married to Lord Derek your husband>> she said turning her attention back to fixing my hair.

Lord Derek

My husband

Marriage

What going on

What going on

First l look older than l use to be , l helped a demon, marriage. It a whole new experience at the same time confusing.

I turned my attention back to the girls. Atleast they are here , l can get someone to talk to . But till when they might leave .

A knock came from the door , Agatha went to check who it is. I heard little whispered as if there wasn't anyone at the door. She was talking to herself. She came back to Cherry whispering something into her ear.

<< Princess it time for you to meet the council and everyone>>

Excitement washed over me , l could talk to them and go back to where grandma and I lived .

We walked through many hall ways.

We stopped at this door , l could hear voices of people. A guard was guarding the door. Seeing me and the girls he opened the door.

<< Princess Kiran , moon goddess has arrived >> he announced.

I finally saw everyone including him. It was as if he was angry at the same time waiting for me to come.

I walked infront , people staring at me . Cherry and Agatha followed me behind throwing petals behind me.

I felt nervous everyone was watching me not even giving me time to breathe. That when l lost my focus and fell. A strong hand caught waist even before l could land on the floor.

It was him again

I gained my balance and stood up completely my steps but this time with him holding my hands .

All through the way l felt like the ground she swallow me. This couldn't happen .

I almost fell down again. How glumsy can l be today that too infront of everyone. I sat down putting on a fake smile.

The corset was so tight , l couldn't breathe.

<< Hi, good morning>> l greeted .

Everyone completely freezed in their spot.

<< Mamai and Queen Sally have arrived>>

I looked at the door , a feeling climbed into my heart. A middle age woman walk in elegantly behind her was someone. It grandma .

Grandma

She looked completely different, in jewelry

It ran to grandma completely not paying a hint to the whispers from others

What mattered was that my grandma was back.

<< Grandma where have you been, l missed you . Have you taken your medicine. Grandma why aren't you talking. Is something wrong>> I threw questions at grandma.

Grandma held my hand, she looked pale. She led me to Queen Sally put my hand on queen Sally hand.

<< She is your mom , you also have a older brother. You are the moon goddess of Calieen . Am the reason why my sad died. If l hadn't taken you away from your parents your dad wouldn't be dead >> grandma explained.

This can't be true . So the stories she was telling me when l was little was about my parents and who l truly am

<< Kiran , it true . You are my daughter>> Queen Sally didn't even know when she started to cry. When Mami was brought to the kingdom she almost lost it. She led her Calieen to win wars. She was a powerful queen.

Here her daughter was completely looking at her like a stranger. It hurts to see this.

Grandma fell on the floor breathing her last breath.

<< Get the royal physician now guards >> Lord Derek said getting down from his sit .

I turned to look at the women who grandma just told me is my mom. Tears welled up in my eyes. I saw a strange figure within the crowds holding a dagger.

I acted fast pushing Queen Sally away before she could be stabbed. The dagger went through my back.

I lost consciousness.
