A novel of An Encounter chapter 21
"I don't know what you are doing in this room but leave now!" Rheagar snapped at kaira.
"You heard him leave!" phiona shot too.
She was still in shock and confusion to even understand what was going on
"Rheagar I'm kaira ,your kaira!" his actions made her choke in tears.
"You heard my son come on!" Queen jezebel grabbed her by the hand.
"Let go of me!" she pushed her away.
"Stop it!!" rheagar yelled again.
"I will politely ask you to leave this room right now,I don't know you what don't you get and stop calling your self kaira, kaira is right in front of me!!" he pointed at phiona.
Kaira looked at phiona and then to queen jezebel "what did you do to him?!" she charged towards the woman.
"it's payback!" Quen jezebel said in a whisper
."You did this, you!" kaira held her arm tight.
"Ahh....!" Rheagar stumbled back, she immediately left the lady rushing back to him.
"Are you alright please!" she was sacred out of her mind.
"I am fine please just leave ,your presence isn't making well just leave!" he sighed pushing her hand off.
"You heard him, leave before I throw you out!" Phiona challenged her.
"if you think of touching me I swear to the goddess I will kill you!" she fired at her .
she sighed trying to calm herself,she glanced at rheagar but he still didn't look at her.
"24 hours, just 24 hours, I'll stop this charade!" she stated and walked out,she stopped ,looked at rheagar again then left.
"rheagar you lay down for a bit that girl made your mood change just lay down" Queen jezebel walked to him,she held his hand making him seat on the bed.
"But who was she and why was she calling herself kaira?" he asked them.
"Uhmm..don't worry I'll handle it phi..kaira you stay with him" Queen jezebel muttered.
"Im here rheagar you just need to rest you must be tired" phiona said seating beside him.
He sighed laying on the bed, he rubbed his forehead feeling uneasy up there.
Queen jezebel smiled victoriously, she left the room only to meet chief hale.
"Did it work?" he asked immediately.
"Wait not here" she pulled him away straight to her Chambers.
Kaira hastened her foot steps straight to King balem Chambers,she didn't knock pushed the door open rushing it.
"Grandfather something is wrong with rheagar he doesn't...!" she rushed her words.
king balem stood from his chair walking to her.
"What happened kaira,calm down!" he held her hand.
"Its rheagar he doesn't recognise me,he's calling phiona me, I don't know but they must have done something to him ,I know they did!" she said.
"Come with me!" King balem took her hand taking her out they rushed to rheagars room immediately.
"Rheagar!" The doors were open to him immediately.
"Grandfather?!" rheagar stood up again,phioan frowned seeing them.
"What is wrong my boy what am I hearing?" The man had to ask
"This girl again ,I already said I don't know you why did you come back!!" rheagar snapped at kaira.
"Grandfather I am telling you,I am fine kaira is here with me so why won't i be fine?" he added taking phiona hands.
"She's kaira right?" King balem asked.
"Yes Grandfather why is everyone asking me the same thing, kaira is right here!" he was so sure of it.
King balem sighed facing phiona "what did you do to my grandson?" He asked her.
"Your grace I didn't..."
"what is this Grandfather how will she do anything to me?" Rheagar sighed.
"of course she did something to you ,that's why you're calling her kaira,she's not me what is wrong with you!!!?" kaira shouted, her veins popping out but it backfired as it went to her head, she held her head feeling the sharp pain that came.
"Kaira?" King balem rushed to her.
"You're stressed ,it's not good for your health" he held her.
"I'm fine Grandfather, rheagar isn't fine!" she muttered.
"I don't know the game you're trying to play phiona but once this is over you won't like what I'll do to you!" king balem shot at her.
"Grandfather stop it!" Rheagar uttered.
"Let's go kaira come on" He took her hand leading her out.
"No grandfather I can't leave him with her, no!" she didn't want to leave, her heart was arching at rheagars sudden behaviour.
"it's only for the night just come with me!" He persuaded her ,she breathed out following him out.
"sweetheart you don't listen to them, Grandfather is just pulling your legs you know!" Phioan said taking rheagars hands.
"but that girl why does she keep coming to me?!" He asked starring at the door as they left.
"I don't know myself but don't think about it, mother already said she would handle it so she would ,you lay down please!" she pulled him back to the bed again.
"If you say so,but if she comes back I'll have them lock her up!" he stated.
"That's just perfect,you'll handle her tomorrow just for now, I'll go change and be back!" She smiled.
He smiled back at her, laying on the bed
Phiona smirked ever so victoriously for her win, she looked around the room and her smile grew more lavishing the wonderful design.
~ QUEEN JEZEBEL CHAMBERS ~
"So did it work, did rheagar recognise her?" Chief hale asked Queen jezebel.
"He didn't!" she smiled.
"That means the spell worked, that witch did a good job!" he stated.
"I had my doubts but after I saw the way rheagar treated kaira, I'm sure it worked, now it's only a matter of time we'll use this against her and drive her out of the Palace for sure!" She uttered.
"We have to act fast my queen what if it wears off and rheagar realise whats going on my daughter ...!" he said out of fear.
"Nothing of the such will happen even before that phiona will just have to act fast once rheagar gives her the mate mark its done kaira won't be able to do anything after that she'll have no other choice than to leave, an alpha can't have two mates so it's a win win!" she stated her plan, perfect and full proof.
~FLASH BACK ~
Chief hale wore his coat waiting on the queen outside the Palace gates.
she soon came out with her coat to cover her face.
"No one must know I left the Palace, am I clear?" She told the guard and watch
He nodded opening the gates for them,
They stepped out and walked straight to the village.
She kept hiding her face so no one would recognise her, Chief hale stopped in front of a house and smiled.
"Its here my queen!" he faced her.
She nodded entering the house.
"Who is thou that comes to my house?" a lady dressed in black clothes said immediately.
The whole place was painted black and red with sacrificial objects placed around.
"it is the queen mother nephia and we have come to seek your help" Chief hale said.
"What is that which you want and I will do it for a handsome prize!" the lady said.
"One thousand royal coins, for you to help me" queen jezebel said removing her coat.
"What do you want me to do,come, seat and it will be done " the lady said.
Phiona came in also.
."who is she?" the lady pointed at her.
"My daughter nephia she is the reason why we came" Chief hale answered.
"The kingdom is a jeopardy because of the queen my son brought , she's been changing everything and running the peace of the royal Palace but you you she has cast a spell on my poor son to make me not see her doings,he always supports her in everything either right or wrong. I want you to help me break that witchcraft she used on him!" Queen jezebel explained.
"Very well, I know what to do!" Nephia nodded she opened two pots pouring water in them.
"what's her name?" she asked.
"Kaira, kaira of red keep!" phiona said .
The lady nodded muttering some spells she mixed the water with her hand and stopped as kaira face showed in it.
"No wonder your son is spellbound by her, Her essence is quite powerful" The lady said starring keenly at kaira.
."Please help us nephia, we want my daughter phiona to be the one the king loves not that girl!" Chief hale uttered.
"Come here child!" phiona came forward she knelt close to nephia.
she held her hand silting her palm with the knife, She made her blood drip into the other bowl of water.
She closed her eyes muttering spells as the water turned, it stopped revealing rheagars face.
"Look at her face " phiona starred at kaira's face.
the lady kept muttering spells as phiona starred in the bowl, suddenly kairas face cleared changing to hers.
nephia picked the bowl mixing the water together.
she stopped Deeping her hand in it magically a tiny piece of cloth.
"Take this, make sure he comes in contact with it looking at you, I have turned her face to that of kaira's now he will see you as her and hers as an impostor" she told them.
Phiona immediately picked the cloth holding it tight.
"Thank you nephia thank you" Chief hale said.
"Don't thank me hale, this spell might work but it will only be permanent if rheagars gives phiona the mate mark ,it will automatically severe the bond between he and kaira and this must be done on the twelfth moon" she stated.
"The twelfth moon is tomorrow !" Queen jezebel said.
"I've done my part it's up to you now!" Nephia stated.
Queen jezebel nodded,she took out the bag of coins throwing it to her.
"You may leave, it has been done!" She assured them.
Like that they left the place phiona taking the cloth with her.
"Nephia!!!!" Her mystical force called.
"Yes master!" she said looking at the orb in front of her.
"You didn't tell them the spell can be broken " He told her.
."Why spoil the fun master, I got my money and I'm okay" she shrugged, she was a con-artist sorcerer.
The master didn't speak again after that.
~ BACK TO REALITY ~
Phiona smiled looking at herself in one of kaira's night gown, she gushed admiring the dress.
"I'm way prettier than her!" she grinned,she glanced at rheagar who was already asleep
"Its only one night tomorrow I'm going to have you all to myself" she kept smiling, she walked to the bed and laid beside him, she sat up starring at his face.
"He's so handsome" she muttered, she touched his hair slowly squeaking as she did.
"Relax phiona,tomorrow night he'll be yours just hold on", she told herself, she laid back on the bed trying to find the sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Drink water kaira!" King balem handed her the cup.
"I don't want it Grandfather I don't!" kaira pushed it aside.
"I understand how you feel but right now we can't do anything, let the morning rise I'll get to the bottom of these,I promise you " He muttered trying to calm her down
"what if she does something to him before morning, no no Grandfather I won't let it happen!" she stood up again.
"Kaira you are not well rest for the sake of your child!" He sighed trying to reason.
"I am fine Grandfather but I won't let her stay in my room, its mine and no other person should have it and I don't care if rheagar has sight issue or something phiona won't stay in that room!" she stormed off straight again to the room, King balem just had to go after her.
"My queen I am sorry I can't let you in his majesty is asleep now!" the guards blocked her.
"Who ordered you here?" She growled.
"The..the queen mother!" They mumbled.
"Get out of way right now!!" she snapped at them, it didn't take another word for them to move aside.
she badged into the room going straight to phiona who was already sleeping.
"Get off!!" she grabbed her by the hair pulling her up.
"what....who...kaira!!" phiona screamed as she was pulled out.
Rheagar opened his eyes in shock of what he saw.
"You think I'll let you stay here ,you're dreaming!" kaira dragged her out of the bed.
"What nonsense is this?!" Rheagar got off too.
"Rheagar help me help!" phiona whimpered as kaira added her claws in her head.
"You have the nerve to wear my dress, my dress!!!" She growled in killer anger.
"let me have her, let me have her!!" Phoenix went on also with the equal amount of anger.
"Grandfather what is all this who is this girl and why is she after kaira!?" Rheagar asked.
King balem sighed sadly "Stay out of it rheagar please!" he held his hand.
Kaira boiled still holding her hair "You'll pay for this!" she dragged her out of the room.
"Let go of me rheagar!!" Phiona screamed as she dragged out.
Now everyone came out due to the noise.
"What is happening?"
"was phiona with his majesty?"
"She's even dressed in her night gown.. .oh my..are they having an affair?"
They gossiped as they saw.
"Guards seize her!" Rheagar ordered angered by the whole situation
"I dare you to touch her!" King balem stopped them.
They dared not move forward.
"You want to wear my clothes right be like me right I'll teach you!" kaira held the dress,in one pull she tore it off her body immediately.
"Oh!!" Everyone gasped in shock at what she did.
King balem immediately covered his eyes.
She stripped her naked in front of them.
Kaira pushed her away as she tried covering everything.
"How dare you!" rheagar yelled, he grabbed her hand turning her to him and what he did next shocked the whole room.
he slapped kaira!!!!.
The tears she didn't want to come,were forced out immediately.
"Rheagar!!" King balem growled.
Queen jezebel rushed in at that point she covered phiona up with her shore.
"Rhea...Rheagar you raised your....." Kaira held her cheek, It didn't hurt as the heartbreak she was having at that moment.
"It is his majesty to you, and she is my queen do you understand!!!" he growled in her face.
"Good!" Queen jezebel smiled
Phiona smirked, she immediately faked her cry running to him.
"Rheagar!" she cried he held her to himself ,his eyes still on kaira.
"Leave before I have you in the dungeons!" He snapped at her.
Kaira stepped back, she knew it wasn't him,but it still hurt her.
"You couldn't fight it....You couldn't!" She was moving back ,away from him, with teary eyes she turned running out of them, she couldn't bear the pain anymore.
"Kaira!" King balem ran after her.
