Chapter 7: Royals and mishaps

SAMARAH 'S POV -

I tried to open my eyes but the job felt like a Herculean task to me. Broken voices saying," No imbecile.... not her....wrong....your fault.", reached my ears. The voice sounded gruff. So unlike Chris's willowy one. I could feel the energy seep out of me. The previous events of me opening the door to a guard floated in my mind and with that the light went out again.

KENDALL 'S POV -

The light threw me a few metres back and the oak doors groaned, threatening to burst open. My body ached from the impact of the fall but the courtiers seemed to have been affected more as they writhed on the ground in pain and howled for mercy.

I saw the vampire king come to his knees and his eyes seemed to dim, as if lacking energy. Meanwhile, Damon seemed not as much affected as slowly he stood up and looking towards me signalled to get to Miranda and stop her.

With great difficulty I went towards her and croaked out, " Miranda stop! This is just going to make things worse."

Miranda looked at me with white pupils and answered in a deep voice," Everything is ruined already. They took Samarah and she surely isn't safe."

Damon suddenly crouched down," I can't sense her presence anymore! What is happening?!", he screamed as if in pain.

"I can sense her life dimming out.", Miranda said ominously.

"Dimming out? WTF? How can you even feel that.", I screamed in confusion.

" Because I am a Goddess Kendall. I can connect to each and every being I wish to. But even now my powers are limited so, I can only find out about those who I am emotionally attached to.", Miranda said with seriousness as the faint white light radiated off her. This was the first time she had addressed herself as a Goddess.

The oak doors banged from outside and Chris screamed," Samarah! They took Samarah!"

With lightning speed Miranda opened the door and bellowed," Where is she? Where did you see her?"

" I didn't see her but I tracked her scent near her room and found this ." Extending his arm he shoved a vial towards me.

"Chief physician, check the contents of the vial.", I beckoned. He got up hesitatingly looking towards Miranda. I said," NOW!'

Damon and the vampire king approached Chris saying," Show us where you found the vial." Miranda collapsed all of sudden saying," We don't have much time now."

MIRANDA 'S POV -

I could feel that I was losing Samarah. My heart pounded and beads of sweat formed on my forehead. Wobbling up, I barked out to the courtiers and soldiers," Divide into four groups and track her scent. People of medicine find out the contents of the vial and prepare an antidote. The rest prepare a dungeon for the perpratraitors. These are the same people who attacked us earlier.", The people looked a little dumbfounded and scared of the girl giving out orders to the royals. Some hesitatingly got up to do the appointed tasks. I was about to lose it at their antics.

"Royals, this is the chance to avenge our late queen. Make it count." Kendall's encouragement, thankfully, infused vigour in the people and they shouted in unison," All hail queen Kendall! Revenge for late queen Harper!" and got to work.

Kendall turned to me and spoke," How do you know whether these are the same people?"

" Attempting to kill me two consecutive days and breaching the security. Seems like the same gang to .....aughh!!!", I began to feel the power churn inside. Wanting to be let out. Wanting to destroy.

It didn't seem like the light of heaven though. It seemed as if it was ready to burn.
