Mine

COURT ROOM

Caleb was sent to the dungeon till in the morning when the case will be reported to the king and queen. Fredrick took Celine to her room so she could continue her beauty sleep.

After laying her on the bed, Fredrick sat beside Celine's bed staring at her peaceful face. He removed the baby hairs from her face.

" Celine dear stop forcing yourself on a man who is not worthy of you, as far as I'm breathing and alive you're mine and I'm yours" he leaned forward and kissed her forehead before leaving the room after turning off the light.

IN THE COURT ROOM

King Louis and Queen Madeline sat on the throne in the court room of the castle. By the right hand side of the king sat Prince Kyle and by the left hand side of the queen sat princess Charlotte and princess Ari, Aria's half side.

Celine was still unconcious in her room. Guards stood at both sides of the court room, ministers and the king advisor were sitted on their respectful seats.

"Could you repeat what you said earlier" Louis the king asked Fredrick who stood at the center of the room with all eyes on him waiting to hear what he wanted to say.

"Yes my king " Fredrick replied and continued " yesterday night I was having trouble sleeping so I stood at my window side when I caught sight of someone wearing a cloak moving towards the cold room. I was curious to know what the person wants so I followed silently".

" but then through the movement of the person I recognize her to be princess Celine so before she could get to the cold room I blocked her way. I asked her what she wanted in the cold room because that's where dead bodies are stored before they will be buried".

" But she refused to talk and asked me to get out of her way as she tried to fight me and used her powers on me and got inside. I dare not hurt the princess, but then I found out that she wanted to bring back someone back to life even though she knows the consequences ".

" Bring someone back to life " Louis said and there was a wave of murmurs going round the court room.

"I told you she will do something like that didn't I ?"

Madeline said.

" But I doubled the guards outside her room so she won't get out" Louis said.

" Sister Celine must have jumped through her window", Charlotte chimed in.

" That's right Celine could do something like that", Kyle added.

" If princess Celine is unconcious now that means she did bring back the person back to life " Paul one of the ministers said.

" that's right " another minister said.

"Yes he's alive " Fredrick said.

" Where is he then ?" Louis asked.

" He's at the dungeon your highness " Fredrick said.

" Guards bring him to the court room " Louis ordered and the guards immediately obeyed.

AT THE DUNGEON

Caleb sat on the cold hard ground of the underground dungeon. His hands and legs were bound in shackles, his clothes were tattared due to the fight he had with Fredrick.

It was because of him Celine was in that condition but it was not his fault. If only he had not followed Fredrick to the river side that night after he had parted with Celine.

Frederick used to be his friend but ever since Celine confessed her feelings to him, Fredrick had changed and stopped talking to him till that night he had killed him by the river side

Fredrick had stabbed him with his dagger several times till he stopped breathing just because he wanted to have Celine to himself.

And now Fredrick had lie on him that he had hurt Celine tho it was somehow his fault that Celine was hurt as she had used all her energy and power to wake him up and now she was unconscious.

Frederick will pay for what he did if he get out this dungeon alive he will make him pay so he could be with his sweetheart again, he can't wait to hold her, hug her and kiss her again.

So they could finally get married and make babies. Tommorow was suppose to be their wedding day, the most happiest day of thier life but it will have to wait as there was another matter on ground.

Caleb who was lost in thoughts was brought back to reality when he heard sound of the entrance door of the dungeon opened.

The guards walked to where his cell was and opened it, one of them got in and pulled him up and dragged him out of the cell as though he stole something.

It was difficult for him to walk as his legs were chained together but what could he do as even the guards didn't mind him, they kept on pushing him to move forward till they got to the court room.

When they finally step inside the court room, the guards kneel him down before the king. Caleb's eyes scanned the room till his eyes settled on Frederick who was looking at him with a serious face as if he had done nothing at all.

"What's your name young man " Louis asked , Caleb was flabbergasted that the king asked him of his name, how could he forget his daughter fiance.

"My name is Caleb Stoll your majesty I am your daughter's finance" Caleb introduced himself.

" His Majesty asked only for your name" Fredrick interuppted .

" step down Frederick" Louis said.

"Yes your majesty" Fredrick stepped down.

"My daughter's finance you said " Louis asked again.

"Yes your majesty " Caleb answered.

" Honey, is this the man who wanted to get married to our daughter" Louis whispered to his wife the queen.

" Yes he's the one " Madeline answered.

" How come I don't recognize him" Louis said.

" how can you recognize him when his clothes are tattered and most importantly he's back from the dead" Madeline said.

" He's right father " Kyle suddenly said which made everyone look at his direction.

" Right about what".

"I recognize him he was going to marry Celine before he died" Kyle said it out loud for everyone to hear and this caused another round of murmurs again.

"A ghost"

" he's back from the dead"

"He has come for revenge"

"How come his he alive "

People in the court room kept on saying one thing and another thing.

"Are you sure about that" Louis still asked to be sure after the noise has died down.

"Yes father" kyle answered.

" release his hands and legs " the king ordered and the guards released Caleb's hands and legs.

He stood up from the ground and now his head " thank you your majesty" he said.

"You're not yet free the court is dismissed until the time of the evening" Louis said and stood up from his throne.

Caleb quickly left the court room and headed to his room when he heard the last voice he wanted to hear.

"Hey this is not over you know you'll end up back in the dungeon " Fredrick said to him.

" you'll be the one to end up in the dungeon when all of this is over" Caleb resorted back.

" Let's watch and see, I can help you if you stay away from Celine".

" I don't need your f*****g help " Caleb barked.

" Alright if that's what you want if you change your mind I'll be here, you have until dawn" Fredrick said but Caleb ignored him and walked away.

AT BLURG TOWN

Alan laid on the bed with a woman who rested her head on his chest, they had just finished making love. The woman rose her head up to look at Alan's sleeping face.

She quietly removed his hand which wrapped her waist and drop it beside him and slowly stood up from the bed. She wore her robe and glanced one more time at Alan who didn't move an inch as he laid.

She quickly move to the room where Alan usually kept his money to steal some and run away. When she got to the door she opened it gently but it made a creaking sound.

After successfully opening the door she glanced at Alan again and thankfully he was still sleeping. She quickly went into the room and searched all the drawers and everything she could search but she didn't find the money.

She scanned round the room till her eyes fell on a white walldrope, that must be where the money is she thought to herself.

She tried opening the walldrope but it was locked and she didn't know where the key was , she bit her lips thinking of what to do when an idea popped into her head.

She search her hair and removed the pin she used in parking her hair and her brown hair fell on her back. She put the pin into the lock of the walldrope until it made a clink sound which meant it has been opened.

She smiled to herself for her smartness but her smile fell when she heard Alan's voice behind her " what are you doing sweetheart" he said in a sweet voice.

She slowly turned around to face him who stood at the entrance, he had wore his robe too. She didn't know he would wake up soon and caught her in the act of stealing his money.

Oh God she's doomed, what kind of lie would she think of now.

She gulped down her saliva and start to stammer " I... Uh.. I. ".

"You were trying to steal from me isn't it" Alan said .

" No that's not.... "

" So how come the walldrope is opened, you know I should applaud you for your smartness and bravery, even if you couldn't find the key you still find a way to open the walldrope so smart" Alan said sweetly again.

" Ava is this the way you want to repay me for what I've done for you" suddenly Alan's voice became serious which send shivers into Ava's spine.

She could feel sweat trickling down her back , she knew how ruthless this man was, what has she gotten herself into. " I'm sorry mas.. master Alan but I didn't take any money" she said and it was the truth she hadn't taken any money.

"I know that you could have ask me come on now" Alan said using his index finger telling her to come to him. But when she didn't move an inch he sighed and said " I won't hurt you , you didn't take any money right?"

Ava nodded her head.

" Good girl now come to me" he said and Ava slowly took one step at a time till she got to where he was and he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to his body and her palms resting on his chest which was exposed as he had left it opened.

"I told you I won't hurt you" he said and took her soft hair twirling it in his long fingers.

He could see fear in her beautiful sapphire eyes " kiss me will you " he said but Ava didn't move to kiss him.

"Weren't you bold earlier I've told you I don't like someone wasting my time or perhaps you want me to kill you for invading my special room Hmmm" he said and Ava shook her head quickly, she didn't want to die.

She leaned forward to kiss him when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, she moved back and saw a dagger stuck in her stomach.

"You think I'll let you go just like that such a foolish woman" Alan said and pulled out the dagger.

Ava fell down dead on the ground with her blood coming out of stomach staining the white marble floor red.

"Such beauty wasted" Alan scoffed and left the room, he freshened up and changed his clothes. He got out of his room and informed the guards who stood at the entrance of his room.

"go inside my special room and clean up the mess there, if you take any money I'll know and if you run I'll catch you and if I catch you Hmmm just pray I don't catch you" he said and left the guards tongue-tied.

"Yes Master" Ron answered immediately.

"I'll be going to Naal city by the time of the evening it's time to say hello to my brother it's been long so by the time I get back gather most of our finest men understand?"

" Understood Master Alan but sir where are you going now?" Ron asked with fear.

" None of your business just do as I say "

" I'm sorry Master I'll do as you wish"
