In the middle of the night, screams were heard from Diana's room, causing disturbance in the castle.
Diana on the floor , rolling around with her both hands on her ears, there was an uneasy pain, so draining and frustrating, so painful like strings of needle been pierced into a skin countless times and unending, voices been heard in her ears as screams, this was complete chaos in her, her whole Bones fighting against each other, she was losing herself, almost at the point of letting go, before Kia pulled her back to herself.
"Diana, Diana!!!!" He said as she held on tight to him, not wanting to let go as memories of what she had just gone through kept recurring in her mind...
She refused to open her eyes, all she wanted was kia next to her.
"I don't want it please" she kept on saying as tears kept on raining down her eyes.
Kia couldn't understand what was happening, he wondered if this was his sister doing, he was so fired up with anger as his eyes darkened, but he had to control himself in order to keep his beast nature in check.
"I'm here Diana, I'm not leaving your sight" she was so encouraged by his words as she wiped the tears away.
"Come on, let's go to the bed" he said.
They got up and sat on the bed as kia looked at her teary eyes all red, he was so deeped in anger, Diana getting hurt wasn't something he liked, her tears was a dagger to his heart, the pains he got from her being hurt was unbearable for him, all he wanted was confronting his sister Mona.
"I don't understand, I have never felt that before, never, it was deadly, and those voices, as if my soul was been called out of my body" she muttered in tears.
Her hands were all shaky as Kia held them.
"What voices?" He asked.
"A woman, I don't know, she sounded so angry and she was .... Like I can't remember" she kept on saying as she removed her hands from kia's grips and then covered her face.
"A woman?" Kia turned his face aside and said inwardly "is Mona playing a mind game with Diana, but only I could read minds, or was she doing it through the kingdom's seers?" He asked inwardly.
"Yes a woman, I can't remember what I saw In my mind "
"Okay, just be calm, I'm sure it's nothing serious, I'll just call the maids to get you something to eat"
"No, it's late already, I'm sure everyone is asleep "
"No one put on duty goes to sleep in my kingdom, everyone is awake, so they serve anytime you need them to " he said standing up and walking towards the window like he always does.
"Kia..." She called out.
"Please let me go, take me back to my home, I don't like it here" she mutters as she hits the bed in anger.
Swiftly Kia appears on the bed, this got Diana afraid, thinking exactly what kind of being he was to move fast like that...
His eyes darkened in anger, as he moved gently away from her and then walked towards the door.
"I'll let you go Diana ".
----------
Diana walks up in her room, back home, she couldn't believe how she got back or if everything she had gone through with kia was a dream but what matters now was her aunt, she ran down stairs quickly but still her aunt wasn't around, she checked everywhere but till she couldn't find her as soon as she opened the door her aunt walked in behaving as if nothing happened as if Diana wasn't missing at all this got Diana confused and lost in thoughts, believing that all that happened with kia, the castle and every other thing concerning that kingdom was a dream.
"You were asleep that's why I didn't wake you up dear, but I should've, cause today's Tuesday, you looked so excused as you sleep I thought maybe school on Friday was to much on you, that's why I thought maybe skipping school for today won't hurt" she said as she dropped her hand bag on the sitting room chair and then went to the kitchen to get a glass of water,
Diana couldn't help but stare at her in surprise.
"Em... Are you sure I didn't go missing after the school party at the witcords woods?"
"School's party was on Friday, right? " she mutters out as she sits on the chair, drinking her water.
"Okay, if it was on Friday, so you are saying I slept straight up for two days and you didn't think something was wrong with me?" Diana asked as she scratched her head harshly.
"Oh, yes" she said as she blinked her eyes at the glass of water, wondering why what she was saying was actually making sense to her.
"But aunt, you can't just leave me there in the room" Diana mutters angrily.
"Diana is fine, nothing to worry about" Mrs Mona kept on saying.
This got Diana confused as she ran upstairs and locked herself up in the room, trying to fix the puzzle of thoughts in her head...
"What's actually going on, I don't understand?" She asked rhetorically as she went to sit on her bed.
"Are you happy now?" He asked standing by the window side, this crept Diana, suddenly surprising her with his presence, it was kia, standing at the window with both hands in his pockets, dressed in suit and his nose mask on, one would wonder if he was going somewhere important.
"Kia....?" She asked, looking calming at him as he walked up to her, standing next to the bed.
"She was compelled," he said.
"Who? And what do you mean compelled?" She asked.... Staring straight into his eyes.
"She says what I want her to say, that's it" ...
"But...." She said, before she could finish what she was saying the pains, and voices came again....
(Voices in her head, "The day is coming, return to your rightful self") the voice kept on saying.
"Make it stop please, stop it kia, I'm begging you" she said, while covering her ears with her hands and gently going down to her knees...
Kia was so tense and disturbed as he stared at her so helpless, not knowing what to do, he quickly pull her to his side, while sitting close to her on the floor.
