The Missing Piece.

AT, PARADISE OF DOOM, CASTLE.

JENNIFER'S POV:

Sheera is abducted? for the first time in my life, I felt a sharp pain in my heart after losing someone. Though she was no one of mine, her innocent face has somehow managed to capture my heart. I panicked as I asked-" Sheera?... what... How?"

Mangul replied while looking down-" She told me she want to go back home, as we took her. We were outside her house when we had the earthquake. We immediately went inside and saw all the things were spread here and there, and she is nowhere to be found." He stopped as he sighed in grief before saying-" We searched the whole house, but didn't find her."

Jordan's expression changed into anger as he yelled-" Why did you leave her alone? She is just a child!!! Haven't I told you to keep an eye on her?"

Mangul stood there in silence while looking down, He was feeling guilty. Jordan pushed his hair back in frustration as he sat on the edge of the bed while covering his face. He mumbled-" I am a bad king. I don't deserve this kingdom"

I felt bad for him. My heart ached to look at his sad face as I got up and sat beside him. I kept my hand on his shoulder before saying-" No... Jordan. You are a great King. This kingdom deserves you. Do not think of that."

He looked up at me with his teary eyes as he hugged me without any further words. He was sobbing in my arms. My heart skipped a beat as I froze at my place. This feeling was undefinable for me. I gulped as his touch was making my stomach growl with butterflies. I somehow managed to break the hug as I looked at him and said-" we must find her. I must find her."

Jordan looked at me with a confused face as he asked-" How?"

I replied-" I have to go back to WitchLand. there is someone who can help us"

He knitted his brows as he hold my shoulder and looked seriously into my eyes. Those eyes were filled with concerns. He asked-" How will you go back? What if... something..."

I cut him off by saying-" By the help of the wand!!!"

He looked at me with a puzzled face as I said-" the one which you found that day, give me that. That is the only way back home." I was determined to find the one who is behind all these. I will save Sheera and this Elfland. I looked at him and said in confidence-" Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I am Duchess of WitchWorld."

He smiled a little looking at me. But soon his smile vanished as he asked me with a serious tone-" Will you come back?"

My heart skipped a beat again, hearing his word. He wants me to come back.!!! I smiled and replied-" I promise, I will"

Jordan nodded as Mangul brought to make the wand. I took out y wand and create a portal with the help of it. I sighed in relief as I saw ahead is my way back home. I turned towards Jordan and he gave a genuine smile before he whispered-" take care". He handed me one of his rings before I left from there.

I nodded as I walked into the portal making my way back to WitchLand.

AT WITCHDOM PALACE

SHAWNA'S POV:

After the insult Priam did to me, I couldn't hold myself anymore as I break down in front of them. Junnie patted my back as she consoled me-" Shh.... Don't cry, Shawna. It will be fine very soon. I promise."

Tiara holds my hand and said-" I am sorry Shawna, I didn't mean brother Priam to shout at you. I didn't even accuse you. I just... I was sacred to hear Jennifer is missing."

I sniffed a little before replying-" I know It is not your fault. It's mine. I love him so much, that allows him to hurt me like this. I am tired. Tired of his coldness. Why is he doing this to me?"

I started sobbing hard. Junnie and Tiara consoled me when William spoke in between suddenly-" Do you really wanna know?"

I didn't notice William was still standing there. He came forth as I looked at him with hopeful eyes that he can tell me the reason. maybe after that, I can solve this. I said-" Yes, I know to know, what makes my old Priam change so much? Why? Why is he so cold? What is the reason?"

William chuckled bitterly at me when he said-" You". I looked at him confusingly when he continued again-" You are the reason for his change Shawna. You made him this cold.!!! Remember that old Priam,? The one who was bright and innocent? The one who had loved you with all his heart? You broke him!!!"

He yelled a little at me. I was looking at him in shock hearing these from his mouth. Am I the reason for his change? Why? I have loved him too... Then....?

I asked with a broken voice-" What... do you mean?"

He left out a bitter chuckle as he replied-" You broke him, Shawna, you broke our family. Were you that blind not to see his love for you back then? why did you play with his feeling?"

I was shocked to hear that I played with him. I have never. I would never imagine doing so. He looked at me with a pitty eye and said-" Remember how much he trusted you? You broke his trust!!! You chose Felix over him. You broke our family. You are the reason our dad died!!!!"

He started sobbing as I just kept staring at him in shock. I have never imagined I would face this accusation. Did he think this of me? How could he? Does he not know I have loved him too? Though I have never confessed to him, I always did love him. Yes, I have hurt him, But I have never chosen between him or anyone else. It was always him. Felix had betrayed me. He lied. He conned me!!!

I looked at him with teary eyes as I said-" I-I have never played him. I-I love him, William!!!! I do."

" LIE!!! You are a liar. You lied to him, me, and everybody. You broke our family. Do you know how much he has survived after the death of our father? You didn't even come to see him once. He cried nights after nights, in the memory of dad. He even locked himself in a room for days. Finally, when he came out, we saw a new Priam in him. The Priam, we hardly recognize. This is him. And YOU ARE THE CAUSE!!!" He yelled.

I broke down in tears hearing Priam's struggle. Somehow I am feeling guilty. I cried hard while looking down. Tiara looked up at Willaim in angry eyes as she said-" ENOUGH!!! William, you must leave now"

William looked at Tiara with a frustrated face as he left without saying anything more. I looked up at Tiara as I said-" Go after him, He is angry, he must not do any reckless thing."

Tiara sighed as he stood up ready to leave. I stopped her and said-" Tiara!!!"

He turned around and looked at me with a questionable face. I said-" take care of him. he loves you. Do not lose your love as I did"

She gave me a nod in a sad and worried face as she left.

Junnie hugged me as I sobbed harder in her embrace. she is the only one I have right now. junnie sighed as she said-" You should talk with Priam once!!!"

I looked at her with my puffy eyes as I replied-" I want to... I tried... But he is not ready..."

She said-"Try again. Try until you succeed."

I nodded as I felt she was lost a little in her world. I frowned as I noticed something is wrong with her. I asked-" Junnie? Are you okay?"

She just nodded her head smiling at me.

JUNNIE'S POV:

How can I be okay? How can I be okay... when I had hidden pain in my heart Shawna? I wish I could tell you. But right now is not the time. The decision of coming back here is a huge burden for me. And watching Brad in front of my eyes is making me weaker. But I have come here for a reason. I must complete that.

Genia told me, that this land will face some major attack and fall soon. I cannot just sit. After all, finally is the time where I am as strong as you and can protect the kingdom. I have to know about the mystery that is taking place in the kingdom.

Only if... He was with me now... But he chooses a life without me!!! I sadly smiled as I thought, it was only I who couldn't move on.

FLASHBACK 4 YEARS AGO. ***

TWO WEEKS AFTER THE WAR.

The battle has taken many of our dear people. It has brought a major change to the country. The trinity country is falling!!!! I wonder how are Shawna and Priam doing.

I was sitting on my bed in my room impatiently while thinking about them. I cannot wait any longer to see them. But my mom forbids me to go out as she was scared of what happened and wanted to protect me. I miss Brad too. I want to see him, want to ask him how is he doing? But how shall I go out from here?

Uh... I sighed in frustration as I fell on my bed closing my eyes. My mind was flashing those memories repeatedly. I cannot sleep last night. I sat up on my bed frustratedly as the door of my room opened revealing my mother. She came along with a glass of milk as I smiled at her. She handed me the glass of milk as I gulped down in one go.

She smiled and asked-" are you feeling okay now?"

I nodded and said-" Yes mom."

She caress my head and said-" You must be hungry?"

I looked away blankly as I stood up from my bed and replied-" I am a little tensed mom."

She patiently waited for me to complete my sentence as I said-" I think I will go meet Brad tomorrow!!"

Soon her expression changed and she looked down with a worried face. I asked-" What happened, mom?"

She looked at me and speaks hesitantly-" I am not sure, how to tell you this..."

I frowned as I said-" You can tell me, anything mom. Just say it"

She looked at me with a worried face and said-" well... It is about Brad!!!"

I frowned a little as I asked-" Brad? What about him?"

She said-" I-I think he is not good for you Junnie... "

I backed off with a frown and replied-" No, Mom you are wrong!!! He is a nice guy... Just give him a chance and meet him. I am sure you will love him too. Besides, you have known them for a long time, they were good people"

She looked at me with a worried expression and said-" this is why I am worried more. I know Brokers are good people, But Bradshaw... he is not."

I chuckled in shock and replied-" Mom, I think you are mistaken, let's just meet him once okay? I love him, mom. Please. he is important"

She nodded with a sigh as I hugged her immediately. She smiled and hugged back.

That night I wrote a letter to him to come to meet my parents the next evening. I was excited!! I wore a nice dress and did my hair. I even applied a little makeup to look extra pretty today. I smiled at my reflection in the mirror looking at myself the last time before coming down.

Mom and dad gasped looking at me. Dad said while teasing me-" Look at my princess, She looks so beautiful. I am sure Brad will be numb to see her today"

I hit his chest slowly as I giggled and hide my face in his chest. Dad and I were the best mates. He understands me. He never complains or forces me. He always was there beside me. He was really happy. We all waited for Brad to arrive.

I was looking at the clock from time to time. The time was passing by slowly. It has been 3 hours!!! How can he be so late? Is he okay? My heart shakes in fear thinking of anything worse now. I was sacred. I waited one more hour. It was 8 pm now!!!

No way he will be this late. Something is wrong. I started crying as my father hold me in his caress patting my back. He was trying to make me calm down, But until I see Brad I cannot calm down.

I can wait no longer as I ran from my home towards his house. I was running with all the bad thoughts in my heart. tears were continuing to fall on my cheeks as I cannot stand the fact of losing him ever. I was running with all my might. My parents followed me worriedly. They called me several times but my mind was not ready to accept their voice and calls right now.

I need to reach to him. see him if he is okay. If he is okay.. then why didn't he come today? there were a lot of questions running through my head.

Finally, I reached his house as I knocked at the door. I was panting heavily as Mrs. broker opened the door. I asked impatiently-" where is Brad?"

She looked at me confusingly as she asked looking at my state-" Junnie? What happened to you? Why are you panting? Are you okay?"

I ignored her question as I asked again-" Where is Brad?"

She gestured towards the upstairs as I ran to his room. I opened the door hurriedly as my eyes search for him. I saw his figure peacefully lying on the bed. I frowned. I was happy that he is safe, But was eager to know then why did he had not come today?

I called-" Brad?"

He calmly looked at me with a straight face as he asked-" What are you doing here?"

I replied while coming towards him-" What do you mean by what am I doing here? What are you doing here? You are supposed to meet my parents today!! Have you not got my letter?"

He looked at me with an expressionless face as he replied-" I don't want to meet your parents"

I asked in confusion-" W-Why?"

He said while turning back-"Because there is nothing to meet for!!"

I was confused at his words as I frowned. I made him turn to me as I asked-" what do you mean? Why won't it be? Will you not ask my hand?"

He gave a glare as he said-" ask your hand? Why? You never loved me... and so did I. It was a passing affair. Forget me Junnie. Go live your life. Marry someone worth it for you. I have my new job to attend."

I can not believe my ears. I was too shocked to even reply to him anything. How can he just tell us as a passing affair? is that all I am to him? Tears started rolling out of my eyes. I kept looking at him in shock.

He kept his straight face as he said-" Now get out. Leave me"

I came back to reality and started crying hard in front of him. I hold his hands and tried to convenience him. I asked-" What is wrong with you? Why are you doing this to me, Brad? Tell me.. tell me you don't love me.. tell me this was all a lie... look at me and tell me, Brad!!!!"

He stopped at his place and looked at me before saying-" YES it was all lie... Now leave me alone!!!"

I fell to the ground in shock as tears were not ready to stop flowing. What is happening? Why.....?

I screamed in frustration while crying-" WHY BRAD WHY"

My mom and dad came there as they forcefully took me back home. Mom glared at Brad before leaving as dad looked at him with disappointed eyes. A few days passed as I was not overcoming my shock. My health was deteriorating. Dad called grandma and told her everything when she asked me to visit her in MORIN TOWN. Mom was against it, as she wanted to marry me off to a good boy. But I cannot marry anyone else, so it was good for me to go away. I left the country and met Genia, my mentor who helped me overcome my fear and gain my strength. I become a powerful witch drawing the powers of nature. A very few witches were gifted such powers.

A few weeks ago, I heard the abduction of children from different lands and it was somehow connected to WitchDom and WitchWorls. This is why I had to come back to save my kingdom and friends.

I feel pain seeing Brad every time but I hold it to me. My priority is my friend and this kingdom for now. I will search for the one who is behind this. I will not let the same thing happen to this country once again.

END OF FLASHBACK***

I know I have lost my love, but I will help Shawna. She sone deserve it. Both Priam and Shawna love each other. Just parted away by miscommunication.

I said-" You must talk with Praim tonight okay?"

She nodded as I gave her a warm hug. I hope she gets her love.
