Sudden Attack!!!

AFTER FEW DAYS

AT WITCHDOM PLACE

SHAWNA'S POV

I was going through a lot of emotions right now. I lost my first friend Jenny.!!! I was sitting on my bed looking at the sky, from my window. The sky was blue and bright. just how Jenny was. It felt like I am watching her. She was the bright aura among us. The little fragile girl... My first ever friend in WitchLand.

I smiled unknowingly when I remember her face. She had different energy among us. Sometimes, a cute little girl makes us smile with her aura, someday she is the nerdy friend who is always ready to help. Someday that little innocent kid who, probably will melt your heart. Some day she is one of the intelligent students of WWS.

Though we had a lot of difficult times together, she had always stayed by her friends with loyalty. During her last years, we have become close. She and I shared a sister bond. I missed Junnie all these years as she had become my best friend in WWS. But Jenny had never made me miss her that much by staying by my side.

We both waited for our love. We both have suffered together. But she was the only reason I had hopes in me all these years. She was just like my mother. She use to say-" You must hold onto someone you love, no matter how long... You must... that is love what is"

She never gave up on John, and neither did she made me give on up my love. A drop of tears fell on my cheeks as I realized I have been crying without my notice. I miss her so much. Somewhere I feel like I failed... I failed to save her... Maybe I should have looked for other physicians.... maybe they could have saved her.... but... It all ended now.

I heard how Jenny made her last wish for John to marry Patricia for the sake of their son Jonathan. Patricia is indeed a good girl. All these years she had made a big sacrifice by accepting Jonathan as her son, despite being unmarried. People had thrown so many questions and hate towards her.. but she stood strong for them. They had a special bond with each other.

I remember when Jenny gave birth to Jonathan. It was a long night. Even I was not being able to reach there on time. She was the only one who helped her. That night she held Jonathan like her own son. Jenny was weak and unconscious for days after giving birth. Her body was weak. When she gained her consciousness she saw his son is sleeping safely in the arms of Patricia. Since then they have both taken care of Jonathan.

And when she came to know about her disease she asked the biggest sacrifice from Patricia. She asked her to be a mother. Patricia's love for Jonathan was undefined... she never thought twice before yes to Jenny.

I am happy that finally, John will be giving her the respect she deserves. I was worried about one thing though. I know the love John has for Jenny, cannot be irreplaceable. I wonder how will he react to him. I just hope for a good life for them. I know Jenny had made the right decision. Patricia had suffered a lot. And about John and Jonathan, they both need someone in life. Patricia is the perfect one.

I was thinking all these when a maid entered my room making me flinch a little, and get out of my thoughts. I looked at her, she was standing by the door while bowing down slightly. I asked-" What is it?"

She replied slowly-" Mother Queen is asking for your presence in the court, my Queen!!"

I remembered I am late. I should have been there a while ago. I quickly got up from my bed and asked hurriedly while wearing my royal cardigan-" Oh God!!! I am late... what time is it now?"

She replied slowly-" It is half-past four in the evening, my queen!!!"

I nodded as I rushed towards the court as soon as possible. The generals were called to discuss a few matters over the kingdom. I know WitchDom is falling since my father died. But I cannot just sit back or look at its failure. I must prove myself to this kingdom. I must prove that as a queen of this WitchDom land, I am ready to take responsibility.

I walked inside the court. The generals and men stood and bowed as soon as I walked in. Grandma was sitting in her chair beside the throne. I stood before her and bowed. I looked at everybody and said-" I am sorry, I apologize for being inconsiderably late to this important discussion, as I was a little busy with the work... I hope you guys are doing well. and if it is okay we can proceed now". I looked at grandma.

Grandma nodded and asked me to sit. She said-" Well... As Queen Parshawna have arrived already we must proceed now"

They agreed and sat on their respective chairs. Grandma said-" I have called this meeting to ask about a few emergencies that were around the corner of this kingdom!!!..." She stood up as she walked a few steps towards the people sitting there and asked-" As we know, General Han has been banished from this kingdom by our queen. I have come to know about his conspiracy against our lands with King Alan!!!"

My eyes widened to hear this. She continued-" As per the information... King Alan has been wrongly informed about our queen Parshawna."

I frowned at her statement as I asked with a confused face-" What wrong information?"

She turned around to face me as she replied-" My spies have informed me that King Alan has been informed by general Han, the queen of WitchDom is controlled by an evil spirit that was banished from this land a long ago, the blood bound to this kingdom has been accused as the slave blood!!!"

I was shocked to see that Mr. Han had gone this far!!!. She turned around to the other as she again continued-" Well.. as we know King Alan is not a normal Wizard, he is a Demigod and demi wizard. He is powerful and just. He was on his journey to conquer the lands that had not been served with dignity. He banished and kill those who have evil thoughts in their heart. And our queen is been accused as one!!!!"

A faint whisper spread around the room as they began to discuss what they just heard. I know they always had a little doubt in me. But I was sure that they believe my grandma and my Dad. I am their blood... they must trust me too...

Grandma turned towards the standing knights as she walked towards them. She carefully watched them as he asked-" Who was the one helping General Han?"

They all gasped and looked at each other. everyone in the palace looked at them with confusion on their face. I was even confused with her act. Why did she ask them this? Perhaps... Is she doubting anyone here? I waited to get the answer.

She yelled a little when she asked again-" TELL ME!!!"

They gulped when she yelled at them. the looks on their face were sacred and confused.

Grandma sighed as she said while turning back at them-" Well if you don't want to live any further... Hudson!!!!" She called.

Hudson appeared before her while holding his sword. He bowed before her and said-" Order my queen!!!"

She glared once more at them when she said-" Kill their family...."

There order she gave, made our eyes widen in shock... That was a bit harsh... But the next thing made me shocked more.

One knight walked forwards as he kneeled before her and pleaded with tears in his eyes-" Please have mercy!!!... I have done this to protect my family... Th-they have threatened me to give the information, or else.... or else... they will kill my family... please have mercy."

No way, Mr. Han has used his powers to get the information out of this kingdom. What an evil fellow if this kingdom was he!!!. Grandma gestured some of the men to take him for further questions. As he left she turned around as she said-" This kingdom is ours... yours... the way I have nourished it and Jonny had loved it... I believe you will believe that Parshana will nurture it too... Give her a chance... She will be proved as a good queen!!!"

One of the Minsters, general Gia stood up as she said in her deep voice-" With all due respect to the regnant queen and our former queen, I have a suggestion... "

We all looked at her as she said-" This kingdom needs the merge of some other kingdom to stand strong. People are defying Queen Parshawna. They are doubting her.. and misunderstandings are caused by this.!!! I suggest if a marriage can be done, we can divert the cons they are looking on to something new and promising."

I stood up in annoyance by her words. though I knew she is right, but still, my heart was not accepting it right away. I left the court without any further words.

AFTER A WEEK:

I was riding towards General Min's house while still thinking about the conversation I had last night with my grandma.

FLASHBACK TO LAST NIGHT***

I was sitting in my room after dinner while reading a book when my grandma entered. I smiled and offered her to sit. Her face was tensed. I asked-" What happened grandma?"

She looked at me when she sighed and said-" My dear Shawna, think about what happened earlier at the court... You must make decisions for your kingdom now. "

I frowned a little as I forced a smile and said-"I know grandma... But... Just give me some time more..."

She stood up and came towards me. She cares my head as she said-" Okay... But now as you are a queen... Your kingdom stands first above all the other things. You must remember this my dear."

I nodded and she kissed my forehead before leaving from there.

END OF FLASHBACK***

Suddenly my thoughts were disturbed by the sudden halt of the carriage. I looked outside, We still have time to reach. I frowned as I asked in a little annoyance-" Why did you stop here?"

I waited for the coachman to answer. But nobody answered. I peeped out of my window as I was impatient now. the next things made me shocked as hell. The coachman was lying beheaded in the ground...

I quickly got down from the carriage as I saw my knights were busy fighting with someone. I couldn't understand what was going on... who attacked... perhaps.... some enemy? But as I saw my men were falling weak before them... how can be our enemy strong more than them? I need to save them. I took out my sword as I was about to attack the opponent.

The next thing I know was someone jumped in front of me and pushed me with all force to the ground. I fell, as I whimpered a little in pain. I looked up to see who was it. And there he stood. King Alan. The Demi-god.

I knew he was the strongest of all of us and somehow he is here to kill me. But I cannot show that I fell weak in front of him. So I stood up, holding my words before him. He chuckled seeing my gesture. He said-" Well... Strong for a queen I see... But you evil spirit, you are not stronger than me. "

He attacked me with his swords to which I successfully dodged. The next few minutes were heard just the sound of the clashing of swords. I was getting tired now. He was indeed the strongest. I managed to say-" King Alan... This is just a misunderstanding... I am the heir of King Jonny, Queen of WitchDom, Queen, Parshawna, You must stop this battle and we shall discuss this quietly. "

He attacked once more without listening to me. He ignored my words as he kept hitting me. I was getting tired, and weak slowly. I said-" King alan... Listen to me, please... You are doing wrong... I am not..."

He cut me off by saying-" Yes, I have heard that you are not the evil spirit!!!!... They do say this same thing when they get caught... Due to you, this kingdom is falling. And I shall not accept this. You must die and be banished from here..."

" And what do you mean by banished? I am the queen of this kingdom. You must know. Trust me, you are doing wrong..." I said while defending his attack.

He smirked as he said-" We will see..."

He stepped back as we both put down the sword. Both of us are panting heavily. He closed his eyes as he summoned his relic... "the Sphere of the Knight" the strongest weapon on the earth. It was gifted by his mother to him. The just-doing relic, which can be turned into a sphere, is used to kill the evil powers on Earth.

My eyes widen as I stepped back a few steps. I said-" Wa-wait..."

But before I could say anything he used it on me, I managed to dodge a little but it cut my arms. Making it bleed. The blood started running out as I hold it with my other hand and hissed a little in pain. I looked up in scare trying to stop him one last time.

But his face has frowned. He asked-" How.... is this possible? This would never harm a good spirit and will kill only the evil one... How are you still alive and hurt at the same time?"

The blood was rushing in my veins started burning a little. I cannot answer him. I fell holding my arm. My breath was fast, and visions were started blurring out. I manage to whisper-" Gr-Grandma...!!!"

END OF SHAWNA'S POV.

As soon as she fell to the ground, King Alan frowned and looked at his relic in confusion, This has happened for the first time. The relic was blessed by divine powers which will only kill the evil spirit and shall cause no harm to innocent one.

But she was alive and hurt... "What is she?" King Alan thought.

By the next moment, Harney came along with her soldiers and attacked him from behind. He roared as one of the swords hit his back making him bleed.

He quickly turned around... and frowned. He can easily take them down but he is hurt. He needs to go back. Without wasting much time, he left from there with his men.

Harney quickly came over to Shawna as she had a worried look on her face. He checked her pulse which was still active, she asked her men to take her back to the kingdom.

HARNEY'S POV:

I was worried about her... She is the only person I am left with... The future of this kingdom. She shall live. The physician came and checked her. They said she had been attacked by the sphere of the knight the strongest weapon o earth. it's a god's gift that she is still alive!!! They said she needs rest and will wake up as soon as her wound heal.

I was watching her while she was lying on the bed unconscious. My heart ached to see her like this. I have promised Jonny to take care of her... and I must.

The door opened relieving Hudson. I asked slowly-" What is the news?"

He said while looking down-" they all have rejected to marry Queen Parshawna"

I sighed as I looked back at her. But Hudson then said-" But..."

I quickly looked at him with a frown and asked impatiently-" But...?"

He replied-" She had received a proposal from the Kingdom of Doah, for her hands in marriage"

The Kingdom of Doah?... It was once a powerful kingdom in WitchLands. But later with time, the kingdom had fallen... Why would they want her hands in marriage?... Also, I have never heard they had an eligible prince.

I looked at Hudson and asked-" take out the information about the prince and the kingdom!!!

He left after bowing.

END OF HARNEY'S POV.

Harney left, as Shawna was let alone in the room. Her body was lying weak and unconscious, The smooth lights of the moon which was coming from the window were showing her beautiful face which was somehow swollen and hurt.

A shadow appeared in the room quietly as he stood before the bed. His eyes were admiring her beauty in sleep. A small smile curved on his lips. He walked towards her. He sat on the corner of the bed while still admiring her. He took her hands in his hand and chanted a few spells. The room glowed in golden once he complete the spell. He carefully placed her hands back and kiss her lips slowly, without making her wake up. The next moment, he stood up walking away from her, and vanished in the thin air.
