Arise the demon

The day has finally arrived and for the third time in my life..am really nervous.

I start to imagine the level of disgrace Zuma will give me if I lose or win...he never keeps his word in any way. But if I die today I'll make sure to put on a good show.

"Don't cloud your head with unnecessary thoughts... don't think too much, just strike when you see an opening" he handed me my sword and I felt touched

"He is your brother...!"

"And you are the only child of the queen in this life time...you can't die yet!"

"My life and death has been in the hands of Zuma..."

"Then take it back with all your might... Don't think it's all a show... don't play according to Zuma's chess rules...be the game and play him."

It's really fun to see someone else care for me... it's boosting my liver... I'll survive this

' Oh... brother... I can't stay here anymore... whether dead or alive '

Up on the opposite side of the battle ground is Zainrald looking all high and mighty... with his light breaking sword... I must say he really prepared for this.

"Shall we sister...?" his tone was filled with mockery... ' I'll cut that tongue of yours ' I thought within me...

Zuma sat high and mighty... with a victorious look on his face...he has already conclude the end of this fight.. which is me begging for mercy...

I won't let that happen...even that monkey Sylvester is sitting so proudly and Raven nodding his head..

' May your mother's spirit be with you Violet '

The obnoxious King rang the bell and it was time for battle... I stared at my worthy opponent for a while trying to find his weak spot but found none....

Is he really that good...?

He charged at me fiercely with his left handed sword... which I luckily dodge.... and I charged back at him with the same force...

His skills was amazing... and I tried not to think too much in fighting him...

Left and right both my bodies was full of blood stains from the wounds from his sharp blade...the smile on his face makes me want to puke..

I stood up and took charge hitting him left and right... I made sure to at least cut him in a place he'll never forget... and at the same time I protect my vitals...

Zainrald wasn't giving up as he swings his sword which pierced my arm... causing me to shift more farther away from him

"Give up sister... I don't want to hurt you anymore..."

"In your dreams..."

Before I could finish he rushed at me and I felt something cold inside me...it was his blade...

He did it.. he stabbed me...!!!!

*******

" Make sure you finish her off...if she survive I'll give the throne to your brother...!"

" Why.... She's my sister!"

" She's not.... she's a bastard. Vera cheated on me month before our wedding and had her.

Violet is rebellious and stubborn and she could take the throne if she's alive."

" Is that so...? I'll carry out your orders father "

Am so sorry violet but you have to go...go to hell and join your mother. if I don't end this for you... you'll suffer even more.

******

I can feel my lifeless body on the floor...no... I can't die yet.

Zuma would only feel proud... and excited.. I won't allow it..

I got back on my feet and he looks so surprised..

" it's not over yet... I'll make you pay for that!!" I spill out blood continuously...but I don't seem to care about that

"Stay dead or this would have to hurt than I surmise..."

In Raven's last class..." When out matched...cheat!"

I rushed to him with all my might... grabbed a hand full of sand and throw it at him...he staggered back and I took him down... strip him off of his weapon and beat him to my heart content

" They took my sister...my mother, uncle and now my life is next right...you despicable monsters" I grabbed a dagger in my pocket and stab his arm back... and cut him severally till he passed out

"Zuma!!!!! Take a look at your pathetic son...he couldn't carry a simple order...if you want me dead come down and take care of me yourself you wretched bastard.

You poisoned my uncle and caused my mother's death...you really wish to kill innocent people..well don't. Am right here...come and take me!!!!!" I laughed with pain...

Zuma looked so angry...he left the scene immediately... guards rushed over to tend to Zainrald..their eyes were full of disgust but to hell I care

Zealot ran to me and pulled me despite the blood.. and then it all went blank.

******

It's been days.. neither Zainrald or Violet has woken up...

Violet's condition seem so worse...her wound was deep and she lost so many blood in the fight. I didn't expect Zainrald to do this... that's not what he said to me... something must have happened for him to change his mind like that...

Her face was pale and lifeless

"You can't die yet Violet... you have to fight for your life..."

She suffers from fever all night and I made sure to take care of her

" How is that bastard...? Once she wakes up bring her to the palace as soon as possible"

Father's words rung like bell in my ears.. how can he treat his childlike this...

Violet's words clouded my mind...why would he poison her uncle..what did he do to such an extent...

My father is really despicable...

After a whole week...she starts to show some changes..but her wound is still so fresh and it bleeds at every slight touch.. I hope she would make it...

"Mother!!!" She scream as she woke up sweating and panting...

" Ahhh" the wounds hurts and she wimped in pain...

"Be careful...you are finally awake..."

"Don't touch me....get me that yellow box!"

She sounds so hostile towards me.. I don't blame her..she just barely escape a phase of death..

The box was full of different bottles of medicine...

She grabbed the blue bottle and took it immediately... and then the yellow one..she squash it in her wound

"Ahhhhh" it seems to really hurt indeed...but how did she get all this... and from where..?

She didn't even look at me " Can I get something to eat...?"

I forgot that she needs food to regain her energy..

"Here... it's what you like.." but she didn't look at the food...she looked at me with a scary expression

I took the beef and eat it... it's what I guessed.. "it's not poisoned"

" No one can tell..." she ate like a hungry beast and cried at the same time...

Unbelievably...she finished all the dishes in one go... and she went up to freshen up. It's so surprising. she was weak a moment ago but now she had gotten a grip of herself.

She came out looking so clean but still pale...she acted like I didn't exist..she sculp down another medicine and she start bite y bit regain her complexion

I should take a bit for Zainrald... right?

"If you dare touch these medicine... I won't hesitate to slit your throat...." she sounds like an hurricane. a wild wind,an angry monster.

I back away slowly to avoid triggering her anger...she bowed down her head.. either in despair or sorrow....but it's with an expression I can't fathom.

In any case...she looks dangerous. if her gaze were death itself I should have been buried by now. " Am sorry... I didn't know"

She didn't say anything... but after some serious staring..

" I know... it's not anyone's fault..." her fairy voice was replaced with a thick strong voice...her angelic face was smitten like that of a fiery beast...her looks speak death and anger.

I better watch her so that she won't do something foolish..., I have to watch her every move
