A novel of An Encounter chapter 24
"Rheagar please forgive me please!" Queen jezebel begged in tears.
The guards came in picking the body of chief hale along with his head.
"You've done really bad things jezebel and you're asking for forgiveness?!" King balem faced her.
Phiona was still there crying her eyes out for her father.
"I didn't want to do it it was her, phiona put the Idea in my head, kaira I swear I didn't want you to suffer...." she trailed.
"You did mother you did!!" Rheagar snapped coming to her.
"You never accepted her for once ,just caused her pain and trouble !!!" He held her arms.
"I'm sorry , I'm sorry!!" she broke down.
"You're sorry but my father is died!!" Phiona shot.
"You're sorry?!, you used witchcraft on your own son and you're sorry!!" Kaira finally said something.
"You don't deserve to even be called a mother ,all he's ever Done was love and care for you, he's been tolerating everything because he loved you but you don't even care about him!!" she flared up
"And you...!" she faced phiona
"You gave the idea right, you want to be queen so bad you want rheagar!!" She walked to her.
"Killing you is too easy, I have something better!" she smirked, she walked out of the room leaving them all confused.
she soon came back holding the exact two wipes rheagar used on himself.
"Let's see how fast you can learn!" She twisted them in her hands tight.
Rheagar stepped aside letting her do her justice.
"Tell me phiona...!" her eyes sparked in excitement it held so much hate and that taste for vengeance in her voice... COLD!!
"How strong is your wolf?!" she asked her.
"You wouldn't dare!" Phiona growled now showing the glintch of purple in her eyes.
"Watch me!" she landed the first wip on her back, it tore her cloth immediately.
phiona screamed out in pain,she tried concealing it but kaira gave her another one
"I haven't seen blood!"she wiped her again.
"Stop!!!" phiona screamed, it came hot and spicy.
"You love my rheagar right!" she wiped her again.
"kaira!!" Phiona growled, the pain kept increasing.
"That is queen kaira to you!" she wiped her again!.
Her bones began to crack as her wolf fought to come out, her breathing became hoase, her claws sprunged out and next phiona broke the chain letting her wolf take control.
It was big with purple colored eyes,she growled loudly facing kaira with angry eyes.
"Phiona!" Rheagar growled, the wolf faced him but didn't go forward she faced kaira back again ready to tear her apart.
Queen jezebel crawled away immediately.
"I'm really sorry rheagar!" Phoenix mind linked him, before he could think she took control immediately!.
Four paws on the floor, she stood gigantic and firm, her red bright eyes shining to show the alpha In her.
She growled so loud ,like she was just awaken for a deep slumber, she gave a low grumble exposing those sharp fangs of hers.
Phiona'swolf growled at her opponent ,the wolf was her rival and she saw ready to take her down, so she charged forward in killer speed showing her fangs in haste to tear something.
Phoenix stood her ground, she waited for thr wolf to come and when it did she ignited the devil in her, one hit .... just one hit , the purple went across the room.
The wall cracked as phiona's wolf hit the wall, she shook her head stopping the spin, but once again she stood on her fours!.
Phoenix charged towards her in quantum speed, the wolf wasn't giving up,she tried pinning the Phoenix but greater is the alpha than the beta.
Phoenix nipped her hand with her fangs hard ,bitting it so tight to dislocate it from the joint.
She threw her paws across her face tieing the wolf deep to the face, in all this no one moved a finger, it was an intense fight between two wolves so why meddle?!
Then all of the sudden Phoenix stopped, she took two steps back letting phiona take control again, she held her hand feeling the pain of the beat.
Reluctantly Phoenix went back in letting kaira take control, her eyes sagged in weakness ,it took every ounce of strength in her to do what she did, phiona Breathed out in pain, she knew she had lost the fight but seeing kaira shake and stagger she knew something was wrong.
Before she could fall rheagar got to her, his face arched confusion seeing her breath weaken.
"I don't feel good rheagar!" she admitted touching her head.
"Come!" he held her turning her back to seat.
Phoina frowned, "I'm not giving up so easily!" she still stood up wanting to harm kaira again, but rheagar faced her before she could.
Seeing kaira weak in his hold triggered him again.
"Hang her alive!" he growled, the guards instantly rushed to her taking hold of her they dragged her out of the place back to the cells.
Rheagar Breathed out, he picked kaira in his arms immediately, She willingly held unto him as he walked out.
"Grandfather.....Queen jezebel is yours to punish!" he said the last word leaving them.
"Jezebel!" King balem chuckled finally standing up
She was still there, the guards just brought her to his front.
"I did warn you but you didn't listen, now look your accomplice ,one died the other about to and you, you've Been denounced as the queen mother, Jezebel I won't kill you, you were my sons wife and rheagars mother, there's no way a son can kill his mother but I.. I know the perfect punishment for you!" He didn't pity her one bit, queen jezebel panicked in fear knowing her end of near.
"Banishment from the royal House and thageran house, you are no longer recognised as a queen or anything ,you have no right to anything any longer the lands and treasury given are here by taken away from you, you have no tie to this throne nor the land ever again!" He gave his judgement.
"No no!!" Queen jezebel screamed out.
Her brain couldn't phantom the punishment, more of death sentence to her, all her life she lived in the luxury of the kingdom and he took it away.
plus Banishment!!!!!!
"You can't do this to me balem, where will I go ,what will I do?!!!" she choked in tears.
"Guards kindly take her back to the cell, tomorrow morning I want her out of this kingdom drop her in the dark forest if needed!" he ordered.
"That's where evil and vile women belong!" he hissed, the ever faithful guards did as told dragging the screaming and whaling jezebel out of the place.
~ RHEAGARS CHAMBERS ~
Rheagar stepped into the room with kaira still in his arms, he walked to the bed placing her gently on It.
She sluggishly sat up holding his hand "I'm fine" she muttered forming a smile on her lips.
"What happened back there, and phoenix!" he frowned.
"He's angry" the wolf mumbled also in fear.
"You know you're not supposed to be shifting while pregnant, why did you do it, I'm talking to you wolf!" kaira flinched, she was up front receiving the shout .
"Tell him I'm sorry!" Phoenix muttered.
"she says she's sorry ,it won't happen again!" she told him.
"But you let me take control too so you're to blame too!" Phoenix challenged her.
"we are sorry rheagar, I didn't really believe it was this serious, hope I didn't hurt my baby!" she touched her stomach.
"don't ever scare me like that kaira, it's only a matter of months you'll be up and running again, I know you're a runner!" he smiled soothing her hair.
"Back in Red keep I was the best no one could match my speed not even James and hes really good!" he saw her face lit up just mentioning her home.
"Why is pregnancy up to nine months rheagar?!" she fell back into the bed groaning out.
"Ask the maker not me!" He chuckled.
she smiled shortly closing her eyes to relax "I'm tired!" she mumbled.
"Take rest love, you'll feel better after!" he parted her hair, she nodded snuggling the soft sheet to her self.
Rheagar smiled watching her fall asleep ,she was like a rare rose in a garden of flowers when asleep but awake she became a thorn.
He chuckled at his wild imagination "So quick" he ran his hand around her cheek.
He sighed standing up away from her "A Palace I grew up in has become a battle ground for power and authority!" he scoffed, when he remembered everything that happened it just made his gut hurt.
~ TIME SKIP; EVENING EFREDOM
FAIRYLAND~
thalion dashed into elowen room fuming in anger.
"We cant keep holding back elowen, time isn't on your side!" he snapped.
"Your tone thalion, I'm not used to you shouting" hers was more reserved and calm, she stood up walking to them.
"There's a reason why I'm being patient with the girl, she's with child now using her essence won't even be useful" she told them.
"and why is that queen?" lirael came in.
"Let me show you both something" she turned to her wardrobe taking out a ting box,she opened the box taking out a tiny bottle containing blood.
she walked out as they followed behind her ,she came out of the castle heading out till she got outside, her people were there, they looked misery and ruined, the land was suffering and so was were they, they couldn't farm or bring any form of nutrient from the ground.
"Queen!" They whaled seeing her in front of them ,some tried running to her but her mighty elf guards stopped them.
"I am a queen of planning and thinking and I know what is best for my kingdom, and we've lived in exile for ages now away from shapeshifters especially wolves, this", she raised the tiny bottle.
"Contains the blood of rheagar thageran!" mentioning his name alone made the people gasped in fear.
she opened it and poured just a little drop of his blood on the ground ,the evergreen leaves withered instantly turning brown.
Thalion gasped moving back in shock "it's killing our land!" he exclaimed.
She sighed placing her hand on it,she hummed something and it came back to life turning green again.
"Pure blood and elf magic don't come together thalion ,you've been so obsessed with getting kaira you didn't figure the fact of who's child she's carrying" she faced him.
"I did" he mumbled looking down.
"Then you should know that child is also a pure blood wolf, any slight contact with efredom we'll lose everything and I won't risk everything I've built like that!" She stated straight .
She walked past them heading back to the Palace.
"Then we kill the child and use her!" Thalion uttered making her stop.
"I am not a killer thalion we wait till she's delivered the child then make use of her, that's it!" She said.
"But queen waiting that long? efredom can't hold for so long" he still spoke.
"Its just one child, how many mothers have lost their children because they weren't able to feed them well, or how many pregnant women have had multiple miscarriages due to the same cause, we can't be weak on elowen and its not as if thageran has been fair to us also, we won't kill their queen so she'll still conceive!" he persuaded.
"You wont possible listen to him queen!" lirael voiced out.
"Or is it until we lose all the children of our land and theirs no one left, is it queen?!" he still pressed forward.
Queen elowen thought for countless minutes finding it hard to settle her mind on what was right.
"You're right thalion,thageran land doesn't deserve my mercy, that child who hasn't even come into this world won't be an obstacle in my way, Get rid of it anyhow!" her repulsive said won,she had already given the word and nothing could change it,not even lirael.
"Yes my Queen elowen your wish is my command!" thalion bowed happily.
"My queen we can't possibly do that to them, thageran didn't do anything!!"Lirael rushed to her.
"We have to make hard decisions lirael ,I'm doing what is right for the kingdom now!" Elowen sighed.
"It will be fine soon, I promise" she assured her.
Lireal sighed pained by everything ,she nodded slowly watching the lady leave.
"why are you so cruel?!" she faced thalion.
"I'm not cruel lirael I only have the interest of the kingdom at heart, and in times of war ,everything is fair!" he said.
"Don't think it too much lirael you go keep practicing your powers okay?, we'll need you soon!" he told her, she sighed and left him.
"Finally....Now how can I kill a child without harming the mother?!" he laughed out.
"Ha!"
"Poison!" he snapped his fingers in excitement.
~ BACK AT THE ROYAL PALACE~
*No no*
*Please don't take her please* kaira screamed seeing someone snatch a baby from her hand
*You will never birth the heir of this kingdom*
*You will mourn the death of your child* It kept ringing in her head very loud.
"no!!!" she screamed forcing her eyes open.
she was panting really fast as beads of sweat surrounded her face.
"Rheagar!!" she looked around but he wasn't anywhere near her.
"Rheagar!!" she shouted, she got off the bed running out of the room, she didn't look where she was heading then she dumped into someone.
"I won't let you take my baby, let go of me!!!" she screamed her eyes were closed as she fought to break free.
"Kaira?!" Rheagar held her, but she was hitting him.
"I won't!!" she was shouting now serious tears pouring out.
"Kaira it's me!!" he had to shake her eyes open.
"Rhe..rheagar!" she hugged him in the instance shaking in fear.
He was more than confused by what was happening "Kaira, look at me ,look at me what happened?!" he tried pulling her away but she shook her head not wanting to.
"I'm here now, so nothing is going to happen, calm down for me!" He tried calming her down, she finally pulled away hippcupping in tears.
"He wants to take our baby rheagar, I'm scared he will!" she sobbed ,she was shivering with fear of what she saw.
"Who? kaira, no one will take our baby away I promise you!" he cupped her cheek keeping contact with her.
"I..saw...him..., he snatched her from me ,I was holding her rheagar and he took her, he said....he said I would mourn my baby, I will die rheagar,my baby!!" she kept crying insanely, he could see the fear in her eyes ,something he had never seen in her.
Rhegar eyes widened in shock of her words "Nothing will happen kaira,please, I am here I will never let them take you or our baby away, she's with you, feel her kaira she's still with you, she's growing inside of you so no one can harm her,you'll protect her right , you will" he embraced her again, he was shocked by everything but making her calm was his only priority.
He knew Chief hale words had an effect on everyone but to this extent..he didn't imagine!.
"I'm here with you kaira, nobody will take our baby and if they try they'll have to go through me first!" He gave his word.
