chapter 17

The bright rays of sunshine seeped through the curtains waking her from her slumber. Her eyes strained to open but the light got brighter forcing her to shut her eyes tight against the it.

Her mind raced to figure out what was happening but her thoughts were interrupted by a subtle voice.

"your father wants to see you "

She forced her eyes open but her body was immobile. Her eyes darted frantically searching for the source of the voice but no one was in the room but the voice came again.

" you need not move. I will take you there. I was only just informing you that your presence was needed "

She shut her eyes again trying to focus her ears to pin point the source of the voice but a whooshing sound disrupted her focus and she was once again forced to open her eyes.

But this time, she wasn't received by a bright light.

She was welcomed to a thick darkness but she could hear different heart beats and different auras at the same time. There seemed to be a sort of gathering in where ever the heck she was. The voice came again.

" Your grace, there will be an execution today. Your father wishes for you to watch as the life of this pest is extinguished. "

" Why am I supposed to be here " but the words didn't leave her mouth. She found herself saying something completely different

" let me be the one to kill him "

Her eyes circled in shock as to what she heard herself say. Her body moved against her will.

She walked towards a wall and her hand passed through it to retrieve a sword.

She stared at the man whose head was bent low. His hands were tied behind his back and he was on his knees. His thick hair covered his face not allowing her to view him properly but Blu knew who he was.

It was Samhel.

why was she about to kill him? Didn't she love him. But she wasn't getting any answers. She wasn't in control of her body and she did not understand what was going on.

She stood in front of him with the sword firmly in her hand. With the tip of it, she lifted his chin up.

He stared into her eyes as she stared into his.

For that moment, everything seized to exist for her. The whole world had quietened to the sound of his faint breath. His eyes made her feel weird. A feeling she had never experienced before but she felt it now and she did not understand what it was.

Was he trying to bewitch her? No! It didn't feel like a spell at all.

In her confusion, she dropped the Sword and with the swipe of her hands, the shackles in his feet and hands were broken.

"What do you intend to do" A sweet voice echoed behind her. " surely you do not mean to spare his life "

" And what if I want to do just that "

" You never seem to amaze me. Here we are to watch you behead this low life and you switch up and wish to spare him. I do not really care for what you do but you cannot leave without giving the elders a reason for your action"

" I wish to interrogate him " she smiled gently

" what do you wish to find out" Another voice echoed

" I can't remember a time when I was ever answerable to you lot. What i do is solely my business. Anyone who so much as raises a finger to him will face the wrath of my blade. "

"Very well then. Take care of father's pet then cause I am very sure you will let him live"

She placed her hand in his shoulder and vanished into thin air.

The light in her room was dim this time around allowing her to see properly. He laid on her bed while she used her powers to heal his injuries. He winced each time she increased the intensity of her powers to speed things up so she had to go slow which was taking a long time and making her burn out.

Why was she helping him? She didn't even know who he was and why he was bring executed but she jumped right up and went against her sister.

"He better me worth it"

The voice came again " Is there anyetou need at the moment "

" Why was he to be executed "

" For attempted murder of the next in line to the throne "

Blu had questions she wanted to ask but her body was not in her control and even the words she wanted to say would not proceed out of her mouth. It was like she was possessed.

" Tell me what happened "

" Well you went for a walk in the garden like you always do. You then went to the where you and your mother planted the roses and all of a sudden he shows up out of nowhere and pushes you into the death traps but luckily I was there and I was able to prevent you from falling but even if you did you would not have been affected because of your power"

" I see. Leave!! "
