Lyras P.O.V

Raven and Drew would be here shortly and I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. Elijah hadn't let me rest at all last night and I was paying for it this morning. I forced myself up and took a long shower.

"I forgot that he could hear us." Sierra said to me as I was putting my dress on.

"You think." I thought and rolled my eyes.

"Hey at least you finally got some. You were beginning to get cobwebs down there." She giggled and I laughed.

"Princess Raven has arrived your majesty." My mirror spoke to me.

"Thank you." I said to it and went out of the door to go see my daughter and her fiance.

"Morning mom." Raven said as she saw me.

"Good morning, how are you?" I asked and she smiled.

"Happy." She said and I smiled back.

"I love seeing you happy my dear." I hugged her and she pulled away from me suddenly.

"What?" I asked and she put her hand on my head.

"Raven...."I felt her power surge into me and gasped. My vision blurred as my head pounded. I closed my eyes as my head swirled with an unknown power, but for some reason it felt so familiar

"Lyra." I heard a voice behind me suddenly and my eyes flew open.

"Sierra." I said as I turned to see my sister. She pulled me into a tight hug and I smiled as I fought tears.

Ravens P.O.V

I left my mom and my aunt after a while of getting to know her. Drew and I now sat in the dining room talking with the planner for our wedding.

"I'm not gonna be good at this my love." Drew said as we looked through a scrapbook of weddings.

"It's not hard baby we'll put our ideas together and come up with the wedding of our dreams." I laughed and he wrapped his arm around me.

"I never even thought I was going to get married angel." He smiled.

"I always dreamt of having a simple wedding, nothing too fancy but definitely beautiful. Blue flowers and red roses decorating the place, a chandelier hanging over my head as I said 'I do' to the love of my life." I blushed as I realized that he was staring at me.

"That sounds amazing my love." He said and kissed me lovingly.

"Yeah I used to think of getting married alot." I blushed.

"Mrs. Sally we'll take that." Drew smiled and turned to her.

"I'll draw it up and check with you tomorrow on it." She said and got up from the table. I created a portal for her and she thanked me. I lied my head on Drews shoulder.

"Are you okay my love?" He asked and ran his fingers through my hair lightly.

"Yes." I said and kissed his chin.

"Are you nervous about our wedding?" He asked and I nodded.

"I'm happy but I'm also scared...what if when we get married you realize that you don't love me anymore." I said and fought back tears. I didn't understand why I was upset but I was.

"Shh baby." He said and wiped a stray tear away.

"I will love you forever Raven. I am nothing without you baby." He said and kissed me lovingly.

"I love you too." I said and buried my face into his neck.

"Always?" He asked making me smile.

"Forever ." I said and he pulled me closer to him and shadow traveled to my room upstairs. He lied me down on the bed and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you Raven." He mumbled into my ear as he held me tighter.

"I already agreed to marry you." I giggled and brushed his hair out of his eyes.

"I know." He said and kissed my nose.

"I love you." I said and kissed his nose.

"I love you more my angel." He said.

"I'm not an angel Drew." I said and he rolled us and held me on his chest.

"You'll always be my angel Raven." He said and kissed the top of my head. I smiled at the comment and we lied in silence for awhile just enjoying each others company.

I love this man.

Olivers P.O.V

"Oliver." A males voice said to me. I turned around to see King Karim.

"Your highness?" I bowed to him respectfully and he smiled.

"There's no need for that son....where are you headed?" He asked me.

"Far away from the Kingdom of Hope." I said and he looked at me.

"Can't bare them being back either?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I guess you can say that." I said.

"Are you leaving the five kingdoms and heading back to the modern realm?" He asked.

"I don't care where I go as long as it's away from where I came from." I said and he smiled.

"Why don't you join me for a meal?" He asked me.

"I wouldn't want to intrude..."

"Come, my boy." He said and pulled me along with him as he headed towards the Kingdom of Death.

*

The Kingdom of Death was the last place I wanted to be at. The place honestly creeped me out more than it should've.

"Are you familiar with all of the kingdoms Oliver?" He asked me as we ate.

"Yes sir...There's the Kingdom of Death, Love, Hope, Life, and lost." I said and he smiled.

"Which is your favorite?" He asked.

"I don't have a favorite your highness." I responded and he simply stared at me as if he were about to pounce on me.

"Do you want to know my favorite?" He asked and I nodded.

"All of them." He said and I looked at him.

"I love them all so much that I've killed many men to take control of their Kingdoms." He laughed and I stared at him confused.

"The only Kingdoms I don't have are the Kingdom of Hope and Lost.....you're going to help me take them." He said and I felt like I couldn't move.

"If you refuse to help me, I'll kill her." He said and two guards came in dragging a girl.

"Ally." I tried to get up to get to her but I still couldn't move from the chair. Something was holding me down.

"Let her go." I said and he only laughed at me.

"You'll help me take control won't you Oliver?" He asked and I looked at Ally. She suddenly dropped to the ground and screamed in pain.

"What the fuck did you do to her." I yelled at Karim and that's when the pain began.

"The same thing I'm going to do to you."
