Chapter 42

Later in the Evening my Mother called Silver and I to the Throne room. "You sent for us Mother" I said. "Yes" Mother said. "Good Evening Your Majesty" Silver said. "Hope you are doing well Silver?" Mother asked.

"Yes Your Majesty" Silver replied. "Why did you send for us Mother?" I asked. "Well I had a vision concerning Damian" Mother said. "Did you find the cure?" Silver asked. "Yes" Mother said. "Tell us the name of the root so we could go get it" I said.

"You already have it but it's not a root" Mother said. "What is it?" I asked. "It's Lilith" Mother said. "What do you mean?" Silver asked. "Lilith is the only one who can break the spell" Mother said. "What? How would she do it?" I asked.

"Lilith is the the only one who knows what to do if only she can accept it" Mother said. "Accept what?" Silver and I asked. "I'm afraid I can't answer that question" Mother said. "Come on.....Mother we've traveled a great distance for a solution. You.....you can't just.....That can't be all you saw Mother" I said.

"The fate of Damian lies in her hands" Mother said. "This doesn't make sense....what exactly is she suppose to do?" Silver asked. "Let's watch how fate plays her card" Mother said. Silver left the room but I stayed behind.

"Diamond.....you have abandoned your responsibility as a Princess" Mother said. "I didn't abandon my responsibilities Mother" I said. "When would you take your rightful place as Queen?" Mother asked. "Mother there's no need to rush...besides the people still have you" I said.

"But you forget that my time is about to expire on the Throne and when that time comes you'd ascend the Throne and you will lead our people" Mother said. "Mother you are a wonderful leader" I said. "Tell me Diamond why have you refused you to return home?" Mother asked.

"I still have to make Damian's potion every month" I said. "Is Damian the only reason why you refuse to return home?" Mother asked. "What do you mean Mother" I asked. "You can't fool me Diamond...i'm your Mother and also the Witch Queen so it's hard for you to lie to me Diamond" Mother said

"I still don't understand what you mean Mother" I said. "Oh Diamond, I can tell that you're head over hills for Silver" "No I'm not.....you're getting the wrong idea Mother. I don't like Silver neither do I have any feelings for him" I said. "Diamond I am your Mother and I can smell love all around the both of you"

"What do you mean by the both of us?" I asked. "Silver has something for you" Mother said. "I doubt that plus he's a Vampire" I said. "Diamond, Silver cares a lot about you. If he didn't care he would have never volunteered to come with you" Mother said.

"Mother I think I'd call it a night" I said trying to avoid the conversation. "Good night my tear drop" Mother said. "Good night Mother" I said and I went to bed.

The next Morning I woke up and I was told that Silver asked me to join him for a Morning stroll. I got dressed and I went downstairs.

I met Silver waiting outside for me. "You look beautiful Diamond" Silver said. "Thank you" I said. "Shall we?" Silver asked. "Where are we going?" I asked. "Well I took a stroll this morning and I saw a fantastic place I know you'd like" Silver said.

"You forget I've lived here all my life and I've seen everything in this Kingdom" I said. "Don't worry I'm certain you have seen this place" Silver said. Silver took me to a cave but he placed a blind fold on my eyes the minute we entered the cave.

"Are we there yet?" I asked. "Not yet" Silver said. Silver held my hands and he led me to where ever he's going.

"Wow I can never get over this view" Silver said. "What view?" I asked. "Oh I need to take off the blind fold" Silver said. Silver took off the blind fold, I slowly opened my eyes and I found myself surrounded with Diamonds. I was awe struck when I saw it. "Do you like it?" Silver asked. "Yes....I have never been here before" I said.

"See I told you that you've never seen this view before....do you like it?" Silver asked. "Yes it's beautiful" I said. "Just like you" Silver said. I looked at Silver and all he did was smile at me. "It's beautiful just like you...you shine bright like a Diamond" Silver said. "But you forget my name is Diamond" I said with a smile.

"I know and you're the most expensive item all over the world and that's what I love about you" Silver said. Silver looks at me and for some reason I could feel butterflies in my stomach. I stepped back and I immediately avoided his gaze. "I think we should go" I said. "What? We just got here" Silver said.

"Don't forget your brother needs us" I said. I turned around to leave. "Diamond wait" Silver said. I stopped and Silver came to me. "I made this for you" Silver said. He brings out a necklace that had a diamond on it. "Can I?" Silver asked. "Sure" I replied. He placed the necklace on my neck and I couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you" I said. "It suits you" Silver said. He placed both hands on my cheeks, he brought his face closer to mine. I slowly pulled back but he didn't let me go. He placed his lips on mine. I was so shocked, I can't believe he's doing this. I pushed him away, I placed my hand on my lips.

"What...why....why did you kiss me?" I asked. "I've been meaning to do that for a long time now" Silver said. "Let's head back" I said. "Diamond can I.....kiss you again?" "No....we leave now" I said. We both left the cave but before we got outside, Silver pinned me to the wall.

"Have you lost your mind?" I asked. "Yes...and I would loose it even more if I don't kiss you again" Silver said. "What has gotten over you?" I asked. Silver held my waist and he slammed his lips on mine. As much as I would like to pull away but I couldn't cause I have always prayed for this day. The way he kissed me was so intense, he kissed me so hard that I could no longer gasp for air.

The more he kissed me the more I loose air. Silver pulled away and I tried my best to gasp for air. he looks into my eyes while I looked at his. he gently creased my hair, for a minute it felt like time stopped. I held his shirt cause I had no strength to stand on my own. I had no idea Silver was a rough kisser.

He gently kissed me on my forehead. "Come on let's go home" I said in a shaky tone. I walked outside but my legs were shaking from the shock and fear. Silver carried my in his arms.

"What are.....you....d..doing?" I asked. "You can barely walk so I'd carry you to the Castle" Silver said. I quietly obeyed and I just stayed in a spot. We return to my Kingdom and after a while we went back to the Vampire Castle.
