Her Beginning

I blinked my eyes open my head was pounding the coldness of the marble floor helped a bit. I laid there for a minute gathering my strength and taking heavy breaths. It came to me instantly about what had transpired I shot up and was shattered instantly. My hands shot to my mouth immediately at that oh my god.

Tears pricked my eyes I hadn't even felt the wetness of blood that had leaked out toward me as I lay there. There was his head from his body his eyes blue eyes staring straight at me. "No" I said low and the dam broke I screamed. I crawled toward it pulling it to my chest as I slithered to his body. I frantically tried to put it back on as if I had that power to restore life.

I saw it was fruitless I bent over clutching his cold body as the cries racked my body. I didn't know how long I'd laid there with him. I thought about the first time I met him as a teenage girl. I'd snuck out to the village and as soon as he'd seen me he asked me what I was doing here. No amount of mar and dirt and filthy clothing could disguise my beauty.

He'd said that day that he would be my husband one day. And from there on he'd worked his way up the ladder of social hierarchy. He'd finally gotten into being a knight he was trying to become one of the 5 descending knights. An then he'd have a chance to marry me. His chance was ruined by my awakening to a celestial a surprise to even my parents.

Which is why a rush was put on marrying me off to someone as soon as possible. This was all my fault I wished I'd never became this then we would've had more time. I sobbed harder and that's when I heard footsteps coming down the hallway. I looked up to see my father and mother sneering down at me in disgusts.

My father shook his head "there are consequences for your actions as you see" he said kicking his leg.

"Honestly Victoria what were you thinking laying with this filth" she said spitting on his body.

I'd lost breath at their insolence. This was the straw that would break the camels back little did they know. I screamed I shot up standing my vision was a red hue it had never done that before was one of my after thoughts. I looked at them both and fear was ripe in their eyes as they looked at me. I could feel myself levitating off the ground everything felt weightless and far away.

"Kneel was the first thing I said to them and they did just that."

"Victoria what are you doing dear" my mother said her voice small.

"You'll get over this little bear" my father said to me pleadingly.

I cocked my head to the side there words meaningless just as mine was to them why were they begging now. What was the difference between us as far as I was concerned I'd surpassed them in power. Why wait for a husband was my repeating thought now. I wouldn't be subject to their rule any longer they were unfit in my eyes. As I stared at them they started to cry and I smiled hmm they shed tears?...peculiar.

I thought about how I'd run our kingdom after they were gone they were legends for ruling with a iron fist. The people feared them just for their cruelty even though they were protected. I laughed then shaking my head I can't believe I was in a position like this. I was too far gone I couldn't get the image of his decapitated head staring at me. His eyes were a pool of sadness just as theirs was.

It was decided then  I floated to the boudoir and opened it and took out a sword he'd had made for me. Tears trailed down my face as I remember how he'd confidently gave it to me. Telling me how he spent his money he'd saved up for two summers to get this specially crafted for me. I shook my head I couldn't believe he was really gone. I looked at the hood handle with a medium sized Diamond in the middle. The sword was a bit heavy in my hands as I drifted back over to them.

They were screaming then calling for help I could hear the thump of feet. It was to late for them though their time had come and gone. I held the sword up looking at the tip. He'd always sharpen it for me even though I couldn't use it. The feel of it was foreign in my hands I'd wanted him to teach me when we could freely be together. I'd made him promise me just that because I had absolute faith in him.

I swung it in one fell swoop the force of my telekinesis with my own strength I didn't meet any resistance. The men had arrived to late to protect their king and queen. My voice still foreign to my ears as I commanded the men to tell that they had died and the celestial would be taking over.

That was the beginning of a new reign celestials we're usually married and drained of power for their kings. But I'd rule alone I thought as I looked at the full body length mirror my eyes glowing luminescent.

.....6years later...

I stood in the same place staring at that mirror the only difference was my eyes were a light brown. An I was dressed in my red and black ceremonial robes for when I'd talk to the people.

"My Queen it's time my servant" Gavin said.

I nodded my head stepping onto the balcony that overlooked the city square. My people gathered by the thousands. All of them looking upto me with smiles on they're face.they'd actually been thankful I'd killed their rulers they ruled with an iron clad fist. In fact these last 6 years had been the most peaceful in 2 decades.I scanned the crowd and a silver medallion upon a hooded mans neck caught my interest. The only thing I could see of the hooded man was his lips which were almost nonexistent. I had the nagging feeling he was here to start something ... New.

Idk if you all will like this but vote an tell me if you do.
