Tragic past

His gaze rest on Ariana, she was trembling in fear, he clench his fist in anger, he felt like punching Darius, he got more angry when Darius pushed him away and went after Ariana, he was angry that he couldn't control his emotions, he grab Darius and send him a punch.

"Did you just hit me gabriel?"

"Someone need to punch some senses into you"

He pull Ariana next to him, glaring at Darius who walked out knowing he couldn't defeat Gabriel even in a duel

"Are you alright?" Worriedly 

"Am fine thank you"

"Am sorry, you went through all that because of my friend"

She ignored him and left, she hugged her mother immediately she saw her.

"Are you alright?"

"Mom, dad I want king Darius out of here, he almost took advantage of me"

"What?"

King Albert was furious at Darius, he wanted to punish him but he let it slide because he didn't want to disgrace a king. 

Ariana couldn't hold the pain in, watching her past is too painful, she wanted to leave the past, the look in Darius eyes are scary especially when he was leaving Airangon, it was as if he could see her, she was sure their gaze met but she knew she can't be seen, it might be a coincidence.

She saw herself painting Tyler's image when his lover came by, she wasn't happy but he was overwhelmed with joy when he saw her, she wasn't pleased with kara's presence and most importantly she felt something off and strange about her

"I will be back Anne"

"Bu.....t..."

She was hesitating, she grab his hand, she don't know why she was having a feeling as if something bad is going to happen. Her instinct never lie, something terrible will happen and she dont want him to leave

"Can't you just stay, am having a bad feelings "

"Anne, it's kara we are talking about here, I promise I will be back" rubbing her hair 

"I will be waiting"

"Sure, make sure you finish my portrait" smiling

Her gaze was on kara, she doesn't know why she felt something off about her, she wanted Tyler to stay back in the castle but she know he wouldn't listen to her, she smiled when he held her hand and left.

She was busy painting the picture of Tyler when keira came running towards her in a hurry

"What's wrong? Why are you like this?"

"Run! Run princess"

"What do you mean?"

"Your life is in danger, Run princess" she said in a hurry

"No, am not leaving, as you can see am still painting" tearfully

Keira stare at the painting, it was Tyler's face, she push the paint brush away from her hand, some of the paint splatter on the image she drew, she was angry at Keira.

"Go Keira...save yourself "

"No!"

She could hear the horses and sound of swords clashing against another, she was in tears, she never expect Darius to come for war. She run to the throne room, she was shocked to see her mother held captive, then her father who was breathing heavily while being tied, she screamed when she saw the blood coming out from his side, she ran towards her father.

"Father...please don't leave me" crying

"Ru....n" whispered 

"Am not leaving you and mother here" stubbornly

She untie her father, he was able to bring down the two men who held her mother captive, she remove the gag from her mouth and hugged her tightly, they were both trembling in fear,  she couldn't move until she saw keira coming towards her. She let go of her mother and ran towards her

"Keira, oh my God, why are you still here, I ask you to run, why did you come back?"

"Princess you need to get out of here"

"They are...d.." before she could complete her statement, an arrow was shot directly on Keira's head, the blood splashes on her face, she screamed in horror. She saw him coming towards her, she was scared as she fell down.

Ariana screamed in horror at her past, she wanted to get out of the crystal but she couldn't, it was as if she is trapped inside the past, she do not want to see the past again, she have had enough of it. 

Am trapped!

Darius men were pointing an arrow towards them, she watch in pain as they held them captive again

"How could you do this to me Darius"

"You should have fulfil my wish and not that of you daughter, old fool" punch him on his injured stomach

"No...please...please don't hurt him" her mother pleaded

She screamed in terror when he stab her mother, her father couldn't even scream, he watch his wife slum and fell into a deep sleep of no return

"Mother!!!!"

The pain is too much

Someone please take me out of this memory of the past 

She prayed but her prayer was not answered 

"Well, well my queen, it's nice seeing you again...oh....you look miserable" smiling in satisfaction 

"How could you?"

"You shouldn't have went against my wish, you know I could still give you a chance if you accept to marry me"

"You murderer" spat on his face

He smirk before slapping her, her father was struggling to fight for her but instead, he got beaten which made Darius more satisfied than he already is, she couldn't stop crying knowing that no one will be able to save them from Darius.

"Die! You murderer!!" Screamed

"Oh....you are the one who is dying, today is your last day on earth my queen"

"My broth....."

"Oh your brother is probably dead by now, Kara and the other assassin would have killed him by now, Airangon is mine, and you are mine" laughing in pleasure 

"I will never be yours" weeping bitterly 

Her beloved brother is gone?

No!

Ariana couldn't look at the past anymore, she don't want to see what will happen, but no matter how she tried to back away she couldn't leave the past

Watching herself scream in agony when she got dragged on the floor by Darius's soldiers, she wanted to scream when she saw Tyler but if she screamed Darius would be aware of his presence 

He came back

Her brother is alive...oh goodness he survived!

He actually did!

It was as if Darius could sense Tyler's presence, he shot him with an arrow, he ordered his men to hold him captive 

"Tyler!" She cried

Ariana was brought before Darius, she was angry when she saw him sitting on the bloody Throne,  she watched as they killed her father right before her eyes, even at his last moment he was shouting for them to run, the sword was purged into his chest

"No!" Tyler screamed in pain as he ran towards them but was pulled back by four of Darius's men

"Oh...poor little boy" darius said as he laughed

"Don't touch my family, let them go please" he pleaded in pain, his world was crushing right before his eyes and yet he could nothing, his gaze was on Ariana who was trembling in fear

"Promise me you will avenge mother and father" she cried

"A...r." crying in pain

"You mean this?" He burst into laughter, using their parent corpse as his footstool while sitting on the throne "Airangon belongs to me now" he added

"It will never be yours" she said in anger

"Come here my darling" pulling her hair as he dragged her right in front of Tyler who was struggling to set himself free

"Watch this"

"No!!!" Tyler screamed in terror

He raised his sword and cut off her head, Ariana screamed in horror as she held her neck, she couldn't imagine the pain, her gaze was on her lifeless body and her head that was in front of Tyler. 

"I hate you darius" muttered in pain

She could see Darius, he was staring at her with so much hatred as he smirk, she need to get out of here but she couldn't move. She was trembling in fear as he approached her. How is this possible? How is he able to see her when she is just like a spirit in the past. She was scared, she dont want him coming close to her not after witnessing how he brutally cut off her head 

This man is a monster!

Please go away

"No!" She screamed

He roughly grab her hand, his nail digging deep into her skin, his eyes piercing hers, he lean close to her, sniffing her scent, he pull her hair, she screamed in pain. It was obvious he enjoy  seeing her in  pain, he place a kiss on her neck, she was struggling to free herself from him but she couldn't until he whispered.

"Tell your brother that I am coming soon! And this time am taking everything,  everything " Laughing like a lunatic 

He is crazy!
