CHAPTER SIXTY NINE
SEMI FINALE
Everyone stood, shocked to their bones as Zelda fell head pointed to the ground from the roof, before the guards could get hold of her, she did a swift summersault and landed on her feet.
What?! Saraphina half yelled, stunned.
When did she learn that?
Zelda had a smirk on her face, She glanced at King Wright and they both smiled.
Before Lancelot and his cohorts knew what was happening, arrows were flying from different directions, on the rooftop, from behind them.
Lancelot and Saraphina were stunned to see their men falling and dying instantly from the poison rubbed carefully on the tip of the arrow.
No one shot or bruised is given a chance to get up and fight.
Traitors should be treated like traitors, if allowed to live they would plan another attack, King Wright had said this to the Elf village head few days ago when he paid him a visit.
The Elf village quickly organized fighters from his village, just a few to avoid words getting out.
Recalling what the King said about letting traitors live, he made sure to equip the little fighters he gathered something that would help them fight better.
The King got the herbs and Maya prepared them then they handed it to the fighters to do their jobs.
Lancelot left the Kings side and ran to fight with his men when he noticed they have reduced a great deal.
He growled and pounced on one of the guards, they were both vampires and they channeled their inner powers into the fight.
King Wright and Evenius joined the fight after Evenius brought his blade to him.
Seeing how they were all engaged in the fight, Saraphina started waking towards Zelda.
Zelda saw her and smirked.
Slowly she took her wedding dress off and threw it aside, now she was left with a black leather jumpsuit which she brought with her from the human world.
She had dressed like that under the huge garment because she knew this would happen and she won’t be able to fight with the heavy cloth.
She pulled out two short knives from her back and waited for Saraphina who held a long blade.
Long time no see, Blue, She said standing before her.
Long time no see, Aria, Zelda replied with a smirk and Saraphina grabbed her throat.
Shut the Füçk up! Saraphina growled.
Oh… You are a vampire now? Your grip still didn’t get stronger than it was 800 years ago, Zelda taunted her
800 years ago? Saraphina thought.
Yeah… I know what you know now Aria, surprised? Zelda asked with a smirk then slowly pulled Saraphina’s hand away from her neck like the hand had a virus.
Where is Ricardo? she asked and Saraphina smirked when she remembered where he was.
The plan was to use him to disrupt the wedding by telling everyone that she abandoned her fiance in the human world and ran here after killing her foster father but their plans go ruined after the king decided to have the wedding earlier.
They didn’t meet up so jade took him and tied him up somewhere.
Zelda! August called running up to her.
He was among the fighters shooting with a bow, King Wright couldn’t allow them get into the real battle tire their safety.
Oh August! How are you? Where’s the blood from? Zelda asked rushing to him but Saraphina used her powers to throw him miles away from them then she pulled out her blade and pointed it at Zelda.
I didn’t come here for a chat, she said then swiped the blade at Zelda who dodged it perfectly with a smirk.
Let’s see how good you have gotten in all those years, Aria, Zelda taunted her again positioning her two short knives in front of her.
Saraphina struck again, mad at her for using the name Aria, Zelda dodged, then went swiftly behind her, kicking Saraphina right on her hip bone and she landed on the floor.
Nice… nice, she praised herself with a smile.
While waiting for Saraphina to get up, her eyes landed on her mate, he already had a bleeding cut on his arm, the soldiers were increasing by the minute and the Kings men were clearly outnumbered.
Füçk, Zelda groaned trying to run to him but Saraphina who already got up used her powers on her as she lifted her off the ground, strangling her the same way she did with Mr Joe and grandma.
But Zelda was too worried about her mate to bother about the tightness in her throat..
King Wright glanced at her then frowned, he was going to go help her when Lancelot blocked him with a swipe of his blade but he managed to dodge.
Smiling at Lancelot he took three steps back and made several of himself surround Lancelot.
Everyone stopped fighting in shock.
There was more than hundreds of King Wright in the battle ground and no one knew which was him.
What are you waiting for, attack! Lancelot screamed at them and they started to fight.
Seeing her mate use his power, she smiled then shut her eyes, Saraphina’s grip on her tightened because she knew she was going to use her powers, she tried to suppress Zelda’s powers but she was thrown away by the window and Zelda didn’t even touch her.
She landed in front of Lancelot just when he was about striking one of the fake King Wright and the blade cut her right under her armpit.
Argh! She screamed in pain.
Zelda quickly got up and ran to August, he had sprained his ankle and he was bleeding from his forehead too.
She touched him and his sprained ankle got straightened.
Find Ricardo, take Oliver with you, Jade has him, she ordered him then ran off to find Peyton who was missing from the battle ground.
She got into the place but was faced with another set of soldiers who attacked her on sight.
I don’t have time for this, she said, and like they were ants, she walked boldly towards them and with a click of her fingers, they were falling and clutching their chests one by one.
Only about five were left standing.
Four attacked her and she used her short blades to stab them two at a time.
These are cooler than guns, she muttered with a smile.
The last guy who didn’t attack made to run off, she stretched her hands towards him and his legs started taking him back on its own
Spare me!
Please! He screamed, struggling to keep his body movement in check.
Where is Peyton? Zelda asked when she made him stop before her.
I dont know!
I swear I don’t know! He screamed.
Lie, You know that’s a lie right? She whispered, her right hand on his jaw and a smile on her face.
She looked just like an evil witch with her white hair scattered.
I… I don’t….
Shh… She whispered again tightening her grip on his jaw.
You have to say where she is so you won’t end up like your friends, she threatened in the calmest voice.
He scanned the passage, all of them seemed dead to him, not even a single one was moving.
Will you… will you really let me go? he asked and she nodded.
I keep my promise little birdie, she whispered with smile.
There was blood on her face but it wasn’t hers, he stared at the blood then at the men on the floor.
She… she is.. she went to Prince Wyatt’s grave, he spilled.
And where is that? Zelda asked looking around.
Don’t say anything to her! Saraphina yelled from where she stood.
Zelda glanced at her and smiled
Tell me little birdie, I’m the only one who is capable of saving you today, she whispered again.
The man fidgeted, its at the back of the horses castle, he spoke and Saraphina growled angrily.
Nice, Zelda said then left his jaw.
Thank you , My Quee….. Before he could finish, Zelda slit his throat with the knife.
My.. Quee….. he struggled to speak as he held on to his bleeding throat.
Oh… I Lied… Zelda said in a fake remorseful tone, You were going to kill me if I was defenseless… so… RIP, she spelt to him but he was long gone to hear her.
How dare you! Saraphina growled behind her, about to stab her with her blade but Zelda was way to sensitive.
She knocked the blade off her hands, stretched her hands and the wind suddenly started to blow heavily in the passage, she was controlling the wind like she controlled water while returning Beiber, thunder and lightening followed and the wind sent Saraphina flying outside the passage and she found herself again,cut by another fighters blade.
Zelda joined her outside
Most of Lancelots men were dead but Lancelot didn’t seem to be getting weak in any way.
All the blood he’s made his wife take for him was working perfectly.
He seemed to get stronger each minute, it has never happened before for the past twenty four years since he confined his wife.
If he’s getting stronger, does it mean his wife is feeling strong today as well.
He didn’t think much of it, it was to his own advantage anyway.
Maybe the old witch has decided to back him up in this fight.
King Wright too didn’t seem to get weak as well, he had expected him to get tired easily since they all heard that he was dying but it seemed like it was all a lie.
They had known about the war and had made preparations secretly.
The only reason why King Wright has lesser men was because he wanted his plans to he discreet, if he used his army, one or two of them would have ratted him out and they would have changed their plans.
My Queen! Oliver screamed from afar jogging towards them.
Zelda and everyone else turned, while some just wanted to have a glance, they got hooked.
Is that a human? Someone asked and the fight stopped instantly.
The moment Zelda’s eyes landed on Ricardo, her whole body froze.
No! she Screamed in her head putting her two knives back behind her.
No! She screamed aloud this time rushing to them then fell on her knees in front of Oliver.
Ricardo was hanging loosely on Olivers body, a wide and deep bite mark on his neck, life sucked out of him completely.
He was dead.
Oliver slowly dropped him before Zelda who lifted his head.
Ricardo!
No!
Ricardo! Don’t do this to me!
Ricardo!
Wake up, I’m going to send you home soon, wake up! She cried but his body just dangled with every push.
His white shirt was soaked in blood.
I’m sorry we didn’t get to him on time, Oliver apologized and Zelda lifted her head, her blue eyes glittered beautifully but she looked very scary too.
Who did this? She asked darting her eyes dangerously around them.
Her eyes landed on Jade, she was the one with him.
Jade seemed nervous, there was tears in her eyes too and August had his grip tightly around her ankle.
There was blood dripping down her neck and blood on her dress too.
She had managed to wipe the blood off her mouth and jaw but the blood stain was still on her left hand.
Zelda glared at her then stood up after tapping Ricardo’s cheek.
It was you… wasn’t it? She asked rushing to Jade.
It was you!
How many more do you plan taking from me?!
I’m talking to you! Zelda barked angrily pushing her shoulders.
She (Jade) staggered backwards but Augusts grip on her hand was too tight.
He refused to break free.
Jade looked like a wreck herself, her bloody dress and neck coupled with the endless tears crawling down her face, she seemed like she was loosing it.
Why?
Why did you have to kill him?! Why?!
Why Ricardo? Why? Couldn’t you hold it? Zelda questioned crying all over again
She blamed herself, if she had sent him back she won’t be seeing him again as a corpse.
She thought he could survive a few days atleast before the kingdom starts to reject him but his life span was cut short by a hungry vampire.
Zelda, I’m so sorry, King Wright said sincerely, abandoning his fight to console his mate.
But Jades constant hiccups and loud sniff infuriated her.
Shut the Fuçk up! Zelda screamed at her and lightening followed immediately, the sky got dark as Zelda took another step closer to Jade.
Let her go! She growled at August but he didn’t budge, he held tightly on to her.
Let her go, August, Zelda spoke again but he looked away, still holding her.
August? Zelda called, pissed, furious….
I need you to calm down, please…. for me, he pleaded with her.
Really?
I should calm down? Zelda asked almost dragging Jade away from him when King Wright stopped her.
Zelda glanced at him and he shook his head, telling her not to do it.
He knew why August disjt want to let go of her.
Enough… enough of the stupid sentiments, Lancelot spoke
Attack! He screamed at his men who weren’t up to 50 anymore.
He swiped his blade at King Wright who was quick to block it with his.
His bodies had come together as one when they stopped fighting again.
King Wright signalled his guards to leave the battle ground and he was left with the hired fighters.
Then he did it again, making several duplicates of himself that Lancelot got confused trying to figure out which one was him.
As he (Lancelot) fought, he could feel his powers strengthened, something was making his stronger and he didn’t know what it was.
But all of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain on his stomach, it felt like he was stabbed but he wasn’t.
Arghhhhh.. He groaned deeply, clutching on to the place he was feeling the pain.
The actual King Wright was behind him when he yelped in pain, he was busy fighting an illusion thinking it was his opponent.
Arghhhhh..
Arghhhhh!
Arghhhhh!! He kept screaming as the pain in his stomach got worse, he touched his stomach, there was blood but there was no cut.
What’s going on? he asked himself.
Watching him while fighting another behind him, King Wright smirked.
How does it feel to be beaten in your own game? Came a voice of mockery behind him.
Enduring the pain, Lancelot turned around and drove the knife through the man behind him then burst into uncomfortable laughter as King Wright clutched his tommy in pain.
Got you… I got you, Lancelot spoke in a voice that intended victory but he sounded very weak.
Something was wrong but he didn’t know what was wrong.
His eyes widened when the stabbed King washed way like water, the actual King Wright was smirking at him right in front of him.
He had stabbed another illusion.
Now that’s my line, gotcha! King Wright mocked.
Disappointment washd over Lancelot, angrily he picked up his sword again to stab King Wright but he screamed instead.
Arghhhhh!!!!
This time he gripped his tommy and slowly fell to the ground, wincing in pain.
Where was the pain from?
Why was he bleeding without a cut? he asked himself as he crawled up in a ball on the ground.
All his men were dead, no man was left standing, now he’s injured without a wound.
His mind drifted to his wife and his heart almost stopped when he glanced around and saw her standing above him, her stomach dripping blood.
She had stabbed herself to weaken him and to her amazement it worked.
She looked down at him with nothing but contempt.
Emelia? he called in pain, surprised to see her.
Mom? Jade muttered trying to free herself from August but he held her still.
I wish I had known sooner, I would have slit my throat long ago, you bastard! His wife screamed at him.
Emelia… what do you… what are you doing here? he asked..
This… She said bending to his level, with all her might, she drove her kitchen knife into his heart, without a second thought .
Dad! Jade screamed running to them.
Lancelot was now bleeding seriously, he was loosing his life slowly, the only way to live was his wife.
But how did she know that stabbing herself was going to affect him, who told her? he wondered as he struggled with life.
Dad… No… Dad!
How dare you loser?! Jade screamed pushing her mom violently..
But her mom didn’t seem to feel any emotion, she slapped Jade across the face twice..
Mom!
Where did I go wrong birthing such evil, Emelia asked angrily.
The wound from stabbing herself was making her feel dizzy but she wanted to be the one to kill the bastard of a husband then smile in victory as he dies before her.
Wright? Zelda called distracting them
Is that…..? She asked pointing behind King Wright.
Everyone turned around and was stunned to see Peyton standing with a man who looked very much like King Wright only that this man had a longer grey hair and he seemed a bit older and cold.
What are you doing Princess, who is that with you? A man asked.
Peyton held on to Wyatt’s hand, he seemed to only see Peyton, he didn’t even take a glance at anyone including King Wright.
Everyone, behold your King, the true king of this Kingdom, the reason for this whole redemption match today, King Wyatt Knight, she announced with a smirk.
What? Lancelot who was struggling to keep himself awake muttered
That’s what this whole fight was about? Jade asked confronting her.
Trying to stay awake didn’t work out for Lancelot, he slipped slowly into his death.
His wife watched him till he breathed his last then she too fell but Zelda was quick to catch her.
