Time

Keeping track of every second , we want to leave this concern on time.

Double checked every place.

The tension on the other side of the Palace walls was increasing with every passing second.

Hudson left as soon as he could. He is well aware of the fact , Sierra must know by now.

Aera are you safe for the least , is the only concern.

At this moment One day after Sapphire's ceremony , all they knew is , She did see the bodies of Asher , Albertine and Heather.

The child witnessed so much and is gone now.

It's a natural instinct to run , to runaway .

Isn't that we all are waiting for.

Hudson takes rest in the middle of forest , it's turning dark.

He's scared of the young blood , Aera and also of his love , Sierra .

She must be in a dreadful sight when he returns , why you may ask , well he knows her.

Hudson is all to himself. Aries , Sapphire or any other person won't be in a condition to talk about what happened.

He turns his Horse to his way back home , he has some questions for Sierra.

He steps into the palace and as no servant or anyone is allowed to be in female palace's , his presence can easily be recognised.

He opens the door.

I opened the door , the palace holds such memories you can never control your memories or your smile .

Noticing the door ,that leads to staircase which goes down to the lower house, is open.

The last We were near the weapon storage was when she was about to take the Oath of Loyalty . She learnt as much as she could , about everything - Finance , Economy , Defense , Changes , History ,

The geography , culture and everything.

My feet left the last stair to the ground , only to stare at Sierra on the very corner of the weapon cabinets , she knew the scissors were placed there .

The same scissors she didn't use when she was abducted.

We don't know if Aera is abducted , by now , but it was the similar trigger.

'Sierra' I called her

She met my eyes , smiled and looked over to the moon.

Tear stains on her cheeks , her palms on her back , hidden from me like I've never known , she presses her nails into her palms when stressed , she would form a fist in anger and keep on pressuring it untill it bleeds and would apply all the medicines silently .

I noticed some blood drops as her feets tremble and she falls in my arms, when I rushed over to her , blood flowing like a river from her hands to the floor .

I couldn't move , I can't seem to know what to do now .

I pulled her close , to kiss her eyes , and I held her in my arms and picked her up like a bride.

Her body temperatures changes as my body starts to sweat.

I'm sorry Love .

An impricise feeling fills Sapphire. I wasn't even crowned when I lost men , people from my close one's family and a lot more innocents . She went down to the lake beside their Spring Castle , to be in water to relax her.

She lets the water warm her for all the warmth she was craving , and the touch she needed to calm her down .

Her thoughts led her to Aerowen's gift , an armour , dagger , hourglass , journal , watch , wine and perfume , it shakes her mind to think she is so young to know about all this , she feels the same to Aries , The kids who had to grow up really early , spend most of their time fighting within than on the outside , they are the most Insanely Sane people with Masked Happiness.

Aera's Emerald eyes remind me of Evelyn , Aries's younger sister who died three years ago.

Aries went missing for two weeks after that and ever since he returned that time , we don't know him well on the inside.

No-one is aware of what his inside garden looks like, if it's barren , with colours or his internal sky is suffocating him. He can be the gardener or the imposed power .

I heard nothing about Aerowen in the past days too.

My eyes starts to close on all the burden my shoulders hold . Floating with water , it calms me in the chaos.

Seated on his bed , Orion tries to recollect the past events .

Daniel was six feet under , buried and hopefully in a peaceful place.

I can feel everything falling apart.

Sitting near the window , My thoughts travel absurdly.

Did I have to be born , what will change if I were to disappear this night.

What good will it be if my desires changed or

what good it'll be to kill Archer .

Am I good enough to think of about what's good.

Carrying Archer's Vision , he is lost.

Even more to complete a book in one night to release his brain from everything that happened.

I shouldn't have let Aera go with Aries.

I could've stopped her .

I should've gone to search for her after a short while.

All my pastries are so hard to finish without Aera.

Marie was starting to arrange her thoughts , only to meet the part where someone was looking for Aera.

We never shared a bond like most sisters , but she is my elder .

I rushed over to Uncle Hudson's Palace .

Little did she know what lay on the other side is going to be the biggest lessons learnt.

Waking up to my head heavy and dizzy , as I try to collect myself keeping my back placed on the bedframe for support.

As Realisation hit me , I harmed myself .

Hudson must be so worried. I am trying to hold all my energy to stand as the Problems of the People from our kingdom are to be solved , taking the dressing table as my support , I pulled my weight on my feets . when Marie came rushing in , after Hudson Just spoke on his concern.

They all lay on their beds to wonder on how time is turning and what all in their life is temporary.

Their lives filled with titles , image , suppression ans quest is leading them into staircases that end at walls .

Hudson tried to give every one of the young minds a book to read related to what lay ahead of them.

Sapphire was trying to leave it all behind and lead but some strings held her back.

Orion had no clue , he could see his throne , and the bridges he wishes to burn.

Archer was starting to blame himself for it all , he might end up drowning in his own sea sooner or later as the negativity of his thoughts is only adding the liquid to increase its volume.

Marie was starting to accept Aera and tried atleast to understand her.

Well to be speaking for her side , she still finds it hard , I mean why not .

Aera is hard to approach , she was always notified, how she was always lost in her own world, not many people knew her.

She won't even let females of family get close to her.

She was worried and she starting to contemplate.

Sierra on the other side was with the weight of the crown and the thoughts she had to shut .

Hudson came running in to voice his thought , it feels as if it was eating him from the inside , he actually never asked anything related to it , not that time or ever.

He knew it would break me but it felt valuable now that he said ,

' Why didn't you use the scissors , you had to yourself on that night , why didn't you protest , For what reason was '

he takes a breath , a moment to hesitation , pulling back and then asking by the end

'Why are your here Hudson, the first thing you said to me , back into the hut.'
