The Tears of a Prince

Her white hair was sticking to her face, sweat drenching her fragile body as she landed on the ground. She found herself at the garden of her palace, surrounded by her beloved roses, white, painted red by her blood, a twisted tale of Alice's adventures. She fell to her knees, holding her cut off arm as she tried not to scream. It wouldn't heal, if vampires inflicted a wound on themselves with the intention of it remaining that way their healing powers wouldn't step in. Cecilia thought of it as a merciful part of their curse, if you couldn't take it anymore you could just take your life, end the eternal misery. 

She breathed in heavily, feeling dizzy as short breaths escaped her pale lips, her body growing weaker. The queen heard footsteps, her head snapping as she noticed that someone was approaching her, she couldn't even be left alone to bleed out in peace, someone had to disturb her.

At first the footsteps were slow, hasty but as it seemed when the person realized who was on the ground, bleeding out went into panic and rushed towards her. 

"Mother!" A sweet voice, filled with concern, reached Cecilia's ears. 

"Nelia?" she asked, her voice sounding like a whisper, she wasn't strong enough to speak properly. The moment her daughter reached her her body gave in, her whole system shutting down as she gracefully fell into her daughter's arms. 

"What happened, who did this to you…mother?" she asked but she got no answer. With her worried eyes she scanned her mother's body, finding the source of the bloodshed and she gasped. "What the…" she mumbled, scared, as she looked around, hoping to find the one who had dared to hurt the queen. She didn't know, she had no idea she had done this to herself.

"It's fine, just let me be." the queen said with a weak voice.

"Why aren't you healing? Were you poisoned?" 

"No."

"Then…you did this to yourself?" her daughter shouted, raising her mother in her arms, light as a feather. 

"Leave me be Nelia."

"No! I am taking you inside. We will call Soran's sister to heal you." she said. 

"Why is no one listening to me?" Cecilia mumbled. "It is better for everyone…" 

"Hush" Nelia told her, looking at her with a strict expression, she looked exactly like Cecilia, strong and unnerved. Her mother couldn't see her though, her eyelids had gotten heavy already, her body just feeling pain. She had closed her eyes, giving in and losing consciousness. 

Nelia had acated fast, transferring her mother to her room and finding Soran, pleading him to call his sister to help her mother. Word got out, the news traveled from room to room and the restless king who had been looking for his wife for hours had found her, drenched in sweat and suffering in her own bed, close to death, bleeding out. Xan had burst through the door, his eyes confused as he watched his mother and his father at his side, Lun right behind him and lastly Kai walked in with Ash.

"Why didn't she get it treated?" Kai asked, looking at his father. "You said you could convince her to do it the right way."

"What happened?" Xan asked. "What did you do again?" he shouted at his little brother. "Can't you be still for once?" 

"It wasn't your brother's fault. It was mine. Cecilia had to cut off her hand to solve Kai's oath, we had a fight when I tried to talk to her about it and things went out of hand, she disappeared before I could help her with her wound and this happened." Aleron explained quickly.

"Kai was cursed?" Nelia asked.

"So the queen is dying?" Lun asked, tilting his head to the side, no expression on his face as he watched the woman battle in her own bed. "Why don't we let her die?" he said.

"What the fuck Lun?" Xan screamed. "That's my mother!"

"Yes, the woman who ruined Kai's life, has forced you and your sister to be perfect all your lives, has tolerated no mistakes. I mean why would you want her dead." he said, not filtering his words the slightest bit, not feeling guilty at all. 

Aleron stood up, all this time he was on his knees, at his wife's side. 

"I appreciate your concern about my children but if you ever dare to say anything like that again I will make sure to be the one that will rip you to shreds."

"Should you be talking? You weren't even here for like, half their lives." Lun said.

"What has gotten into you?" Xan asked him, pushing him back, afraid that his father would attack him. Lun did not have the chance to say anything else though, the door of Cecilia's room opened, revealing Soran with his little sister by his side, both siblings panting. When Kai had met Soran he was an only child, now he even had a younger sister, time flew, it lessened like the golden sand in an hourglass.

Would they actually save the queen or let her receive her punishment? 

Cecilia believed everyone hated her, she believed she could see it in their eyes. As she laid there, with her children and husband by her side, lost in the darkness of her pain, traveling to the river of death she wished she had never worn that crown but it was too late now to turn back, too late to feel sorry. She was the evil of the story, she had learned to live with that but hearing Aleron threaten her, it felt like the warmth of the flames was close, the end approaching and the screams, the echoes of the ones she lost would become louder, more people would be added. She preferred to die, than have everyone leave her again. She was tired, so tired.
