BETWEEN 2 WORLDS

Chapter 30:Only If We Could Travel Back In Time.

[Menza's POV]

Not long after Jaze left the palace a strange aura evolved the palace. Everywhere became dark, the cloud was focused at the center of the palace with a deep hole at the center drawing down slowly.

There where numerous sounds of thunder strikes, the sky had this touch of green and yellowish color giving the sky a dead color, the sky began to groan, then a heavy rain followed.

This has never happened in the palace before, it doesn't even look normal, the change was only focused on the palace side, nothing like this had ever happened not even when the cause was placed upon their land, the day went on like a normal day should go.

"I can feel the use of black magic", I remember I've read this in a book before but I couldn't read it to the end, its because some pages have been removed but I know its a spell.

Who could be performing the spell?, the book had been stolen a long time ago by the witches, though they are all dead, we were still unable to retrieve it back.

Many books were taken by the witches from the Royal library and each of them contained powerful spells, they used them in performing evil deeds, so many life's were lost thanks to them and now someone else has claimed the book.

I was able to read those books then though no one was allowed to read the books most especially not little children so that they wouldn't get the wrong impression of things and how to use their elemental power the wrong way but I, as a little spoilt princess could go in whenever I want without anyone stopping me.

But I made a mistake, I got Liza involved and she betrayed me, I thought her some spells I've mastered and she turned against me, she got greedy to know more, suddenly she wanted power over everything, she wanted to rule over everyone.

I can't help but think she's behind this, I suspect her having some spells under her control.

I can use one of my abilities to trace where the power is coming from, I know she is behind this, what's she up to this time.

I was able to trace it to some point but my power suddenly seized, I couldn't trace the strange aura anymore, I shouldn't be surprised anyways, I'm in the Royal quarters already, my power is meant to seize but non of them are nearby and I'm getting way too drained by the rain.

"What are you doing here?", I heard a voice speak from behind and my heart skipped a beat.

I turned around to see the person who was behind me, I couldn't see his face clearly, but with his body shape and thick voice, I could recognize him.

"Ward?", I asked to confirm who it really was.

" Menza....what are you doing here", he asked in a surprise tone.

Yeah, I expected that reaction from any royalty who ends up seeing me here.

They have these strange force at the entrance of the quarters that stops non royalties from entering and also from people like Jaze and I.

"What I'm doing here is nothing you should be concerned about", I turned about to leave when he grabbed my hand forcefully. "Ahh...

"I asked you a question", he said coldly.

" What else do you want to hear", I yelled at him.

"Keep your voice low if you love your life", he smirked.

"And when did you started caring about me?", she released her arm from his grip.

I walked a little bit far from him but I still couldn't feel the scent, is he following me.

I felt a strong arm pull me, it was Ward, he took me to this outer space room and locked it.

"Ward!".

"You are trying to trace where these strange aura is coming from?....to bad, you can't, you are in a royal quarter and your power would surely seize", He mocked her.

"I'm a royal blood too", she hissed.

"You aren't anymore, you were and to top it all you were not even a pure royal blood"

"I am"

"Your mother's blood still runs in your vein"

"So does my father's"

"You don't look like us to begin with, you are like an illegitimate child to this kingdom, you are not one of us, you are just as weak as your mother...

"Thanks, I don't belong here, I'm not one of you, I'm not that powerful, I'm not special, I'm weak, I know and I don't need you to remind me about that", she yelled. "If you want to mock me, do so, but don't direct any of it to my mother", she cried.

"Goodness...there you go again ", he tried hugging her.

"Get away from me, monster!", she pushed him away. "Anytime you touch me, I always feel like depriving you of your flesh, like ripping off your flesh", I pushed him aside and unlocked the door.

By the time I got outside, everywhere was already getting bright, the sky was becoming calm, the rain had already stopped, the strange aura and scent was gone, everywhere looked tattered and rough now that the wind had displaced them from their appropriate places.

"I lost my track, I wasn't even able to get to the cause of this, and now that idiot..", she mumbled angrily.

Come to think of it, I didn't spend much time with Ward, how could everything turn out like this?, The cloud calmed down so quickly.

I know Ward stopped me from reaching my destination, he did it intensionally, I have this strange felling he has a hand in this.

I immediately walked out of the Private Royal quarters and walked back to our quarters, when I mean 'our', I mean the private quarters that murderer gave my brother and I after our parent passed away.

After our parent passed away, we were not given any special post in the palace, Jaze wasn't giving any opportunity to join the soldiers or guards cause that murderer is feeling insecure, he feels Jaze is going to become a villain and end up destroying him and his wrongly achieved throne which is right, but Jaze has changed from that evil creature I used to know, he won't do anything like he's doing now.

I was also deprived from doing so many things which I see as enjoyment, I'm not doing anything, just getting more lazy as the day goes by.

I finally got to our private quarters, this is another big work to do, everywhere looked so messed up, I could nearly see a space to walk to prevent me from falling, its like

an earthquake took place here but the building in it was still standing. Goodness!.

"I missed my opportunity".

I had the chance to enter the Royal quarters without anybody stopping me and I couldn't even go to mama and papa's grave.

At least that's the thinnest respect that man could give them.

The last time I saw my mother was the day she died, I wasn't even given the chance to watch her get buried.

Tears trickled down to her cheeks as she remembered those fun moments she had with her family at whole and horrible moments as well

"Mother", I called like she was going to appear in front of me, wipe my tears hug me like she always does and promise me she won't leave me again.

"No, I'll go back...I don't care if o get caught".
