Gabrielle eyes glinted in relive when she realized it was Alondria who saw everything. Alondria is easily manipulated,it would been a chore if it were someone else.
"W-w-hat have you done you just killed calypso" Alondria yelled.her chest heaving up and down in disbelief and fear.
"How could you,you're so heartless"
"Oh Alondria stop being stupid,I did what's best for us,now thats Calypso's out of the picture,we can finally have everything to our self's,dads love,brothers care,and many more" Gabrielle tried to reason as she stepped closer to Alondria holding her shoulders tenderly.
Her eyes glistened with tears. She knew Gabrielle hates calypso but she didnt realize it was this deep,so deep rooted in her heart.
"Get your hands off me" Alondria snapped roughly throwing Gabrielle's hands off her shoulders.
Her eyes filled with anger.
"You're so heartless Gabrielle,I can't believe you're my sister,I can't believe we came out from the same womb,you're so wicked,you killed calypso for such petty excuses-"
"Petty excuses?" Gabrielle cut her off with a scoff.
"Do you know-"
"Oh please save it Gabrielle,father must hear of this and you will pay for your crimes" Alondria gritted in anger and turned to leave,but what happened next took her unaware.
Gabrielle grabbed her arms and roughly pinned her against a tree,holding a small dagger to her throat.
Alondria gasp and her eyes widened in fear,her heart drumming in her own ears,did her own sister just pulled a knife her?.
"W-w-what are you doing" Alondria struggled to talk afraid of the knife piercing her skin. The wicked and killing glint in Gabrielle's eyes accompanied by that evil smirk on her face is making Alondria shiver in fear.
"Now you listen up dear sister,I won't hesitate to slit your throat and end your life if you as much as whisper a word of what happened here to anyone.I killed calypso,I won't hesitate to end you,now smile and pretend you didnt see anything"
Gabrielle grinned satisfied with the fear she instilled in Alondria,she slowly withdrew the dagger and cleared the wrinkles from Alondria's dress and stepped back.
"Now Alondria,let's return to the soiree,".

EVANOR.
The court room was as silent as a grave yard,all members of the royal family,Xerox and lord Kai were present.
Alfred bowed his head,feeling ashamed to look at his father in the eye.
King Cedric felt like a dagger pierced his soul when he got the news that calypso was missing.
He should have stopped her from going to the soiree.
He had a very bad feeling about it,but considering it was her first soiree outside the castle walls,he decided to let her go.entrusting her in the hands of Alfred and Xerox.and now she's missing without a trace.
"Am so sorry father,I failed you,but I promise I'll do everything in my power to find my sister.I've assigned troops to search every corner of Evanor,we should get result by dusk.
King Cedric was silent he didnt respond to that.his poor little daughter is lost out there at this ungodly hour,its past midnight and yet no sign of her.
He needs fresh air,he feels suffocated.
King Cedric left the court room in long strides without a word.
"She said she was going to meet you lord Kai" stated Xerox with an accusing look.
"I swear she never came,we never meet,you have to believe me."
Lord Kai explained.
He was also dead worried about calypso,after all he has a liking towards her.and intends to make her his wife.
"Gabrielle.almost everyone we asked said you were seen,leading calypso outside the manor."
Alfred asked glaring daggers at her.
His instincts strongly believes Gabrielle is involved in whatever happened to calypso.
"Yes brother she wanted to see the garden at the backyard,so I offered to show her.after that she said she's going to see lord Kai." the lie came out so smoothly that even Alondria would have believed her if she hasn't witnessed with her eyes what really happened.
"Oh really?" Alfred drawled taking slow and steady steps towards her.Gabriel felt very intimated,but she fought hard to keep her resolve in check.
"We all know you two are not in good terms Gabrielle,so why on earth would you OFFER TO SHOW HER AROUND…..
If I find out you had anything to do with this? I'll squeeze life out of you with my bare hands"
"enough!!" The queen who has been quite all along yelled.
"Enough Alfred.thats a very big accusation,
Gabrielle is also your sister"
"I have sounded my warnings clear" he said and barged out of the court room.
Everyone walked out of the room and only Gabrielle and xerox remained.
Xerox took slow strides towards the exit,but stopped in his tracks right in front of Gabrielle.
"Hope you coverd your tracks well" He said with a smirk and continued in his stride to the exit.
His words finally sink in and her eyes widened in horror her heart fell to the pit of her stomach.
STYGAIN
.
.
.
Its another cold morning in stygain,its morning already but the clouds are Grey,signaling the incoming rain.
STYGAIN is known for its bad climate.despite that,their lands are fertile and blessed,they cultivate varieties of foods in large quantities which is enough to feed billions of people.other nations solely depend on stygain for everything.
Thats why STYGAIN has the final say in the affairs of the continent,and no nation or kingdom dares go against their rule.
Well except the elf's who did,and they suffered.when other nations saw how the elf's were annihilated,they dare not go against the vampires.
Carlos came into his masters chamber which was dark as usual,the curtains were down and the only source of light is the fire burning in the fireplace.
"Good morning your majesty"
"Morning Carlos"
Came prince Niels bored voice.
"Mi'lord today is finally the day set for the hunting session"
Prince Neil grinned.finally something to kill his boredom.
"The king invited some relatives"
"Oh well the more the merrier,right Carlos?"
"Of course Mi'lord" Carlos bowed.
He silently prepared a bath for the prince.and waited in the room while the prince had his bath.
Prince Neil prefers to have his bath alone,without any servant helping him,and Carlos knew it already.
The prince got dressed in a black pants that hugged his strong long legs,and black shirt,that has silver embroidery at the edges and hems.
Black boots and a black cloak that wasn't touching the floor.
He looks simple but regal.
Everyone was ready for the session,they were all excited and dressed in cloths suitable for hunting each carrying their desired weapon.
Aryan and shahanna and their respective families were also invited for the hunting session.
Duncan,the prince right hand man,is also coming along,he shook his head when he saw them,there's going to be a lot of drama today.
"Alright everyone let's head out,we are hunting in SELERA forest today"
The king announced.
