CASSANDRA's POV ~ Today is an important day to me - JADEN'S BIRTHDAY. Today, I am going to tell him that he is going to become a father, we are going to be a family. I have arranged for a surprise for him. I asked my father to call Jaden back to castle and to celebrate his birthday.
But my father said that it won't surprise him and so asked me to surprise him at his house. My father, said he will come after finishing some senatory works, to Jade's birthday party.
I also informed Oscar and Asher about this party and they helped arrange the surprise for him. I didn't tell anyone about my pregnancy, since I want Jaden to hear it first.This baby it is a result of our love, for each other.This baby is the symbol of the bond , me and Jaden shared.
JADEN'S HOUSE,
CASSANDRA's POV~ when I stepped in his house, there was abrupt silence.It was like Jaden has went out. Oscar and Asher went to bring Jaden from outside.
I waited eagerly to share the news of my pregnancy with Jaden.
That's when I heard some moaning from the room situated at the tree branch.
I went above through the steps and what I saw there ripped off my soul, I felt numb like a corpse. I couldn't move an inch......
There at the floor, Jaden was lying , fully covered with blood, blood bathed.......!!!!
CASSANDRA:- JJJJAAADDDENNNN!!!!
( I cried from the bottom of my soul... that the whole forest echoed my melancholic cry ).
When I went near him to get him.... somebody held me from behind...so tight , so hard,.......so that I couldn't reach out to Jade. Jaden turned to my side with a frightened yet demanding eyes which sent shiver down my spine....
It ,..... it was " MY DAD ".He was having a sword, covered with the blood of Jaden. MY JADEN.
CASSANDRA:- Dad??!!!!???
KING DARIUS MARSEFONE:- Don't go near that bastard....Cassandra!!!
CASSANDRA:- What have you done dad??? { I pulled myself out from his grip and slipped down, held Jaden in my arms crying.......}
WHY !??????? The only question that I needed answer!!!!
KING DARIUS MARSEFONE:- How dare he love a princess knowing that he is just a soldier.....a dirty blood....He brainwashed you, he is just attracted towards the throne not you Cassandra..!!!!!!!!
CASSANDRA:- WHAT!!!???but you only said that you wanted his hands in exchange for me in marriage!???
KING DARIUS MARSEFONE:- YES, I said that because you were so blinded by love. Since childhood, I didn't like you, playing with him, Especially the bond you two shared was absurd. first I thought it was some childish crush ,but with each and every day, your bond grew into something "FORBIDDEN".So, I sent him to training to another country and made sure that there is no way for you to communicate with him. I hoped that being separated for a long time will make you forget your relationship with him. I introduced you to various charming royal blood lines like us. but, you were stubborn about him. So, I decided to create hatred in you, for him. so, I sent a pregnant woman to his house , I thought you would hate him completely. but you were insane enough to cry for him.
I sent him to this mission, to separate him from you and use him as a bait for other kingdoms. Great warrior like him will be sold out for good ransoms.
But, you lied to me to meet him and grew your disgusting love ... CASSANDRA!!!
He is a dirty blood, people like him are impure...did you think that I will leave some bloody dirty blood to rule this kingdom. NEVER....
So, I decided to kill him, so I can get rid of him forever....
CASSANDRA:- why don't I have any rights to choose my man.?? you could have threatened me to leave him, rather than hurt him in front of me....!!
KING DARIUS MARSEFONE:- You are not a normal human being, Cassandra. Your mother didn't die because you were born..she left you to me, after you were born....
CASSANDRA :- You are lying!!! Why should my mom leave me alone ..!???
KING DARIUS MARSEFONE:- Because you are the daughter of ATHENA...
{ ATHENA is the Greek goddess of war }.
Athena as a god had other works, so she left me with you... the necklace of " love" she gave , is with you ....you are special...you are a demi god Cassandra...!!!
CASSANDRA:- the necklace , I was wearing , it is with me from child hood ...My father said that " A DIRTY BLOOD SHOULD NOT MIX WITH A DEMIGOD ..I WILL NOT HESISTATE TO KILL YOU IF YOU CHOOSE HIM NOW"...!!!
These words broke my heart into pieces. Jaden was lying in my lap holding to his half- life and was listening to all that my father said with anxiety and pain.
I was crying , I can't bear to see my soul, my other half, the father to my child , suffer for his life ...I lifted him up and decided to stay with him ...I begged my father to leave me and Jaden to lead a happy life, I said that I was willing to sacrifice the throne and my identity as a princess to stay with him....
Suddenly rage took over and I took the pocket knife from Jaden's suit and turned to stab my father.....
BUT , he swiftly turned around and stabbed me in my lower abdomen....Blood started to Pierce out from my wound...and my vision became blurry ....
KING DARIUS MARSEFONE :- I don't want a child like you....cassandra...!!!...
"I'M SORRY"..
My father went towards Jaden and stabbed on his chest hard.... and he collapsed.....
CASSANDRA:- JJJAAADDDEEENNN. !!!!!!
{ The pain of seeing my love collapse to the ground was more painful , than my stab wound } ....
And my father left us to die...I pulled all my strength and moved towards Jaden who was holding his last breath...
I pulled him on to my lap as I slid on to the wall for support .....I heard the death pain of Oscar and Asher outside ....
Knowing that our fate ended even before it started, I was unable to control myself...
The pain in JADEN's eye made my words stammer...
Knowing that it would my last words , I said, " HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADEN"... He signaled me to give him my present for him...
I said , " I am bearing your heir"....the Pain in his eyes worsened.. I said .,, " YES JADEN, I'M PREGNANT , ... PREGNANT WITH YOUR BABY....OUR BABY..." the pain of not being able to save me and his child reflected in his eyes..,.... he touched my bleeding abdomen and whispered his last words ....
" DADDY'S SORRY FOR WHAT HAS HAPPENED MY DEAR".....!!!
and with that his breathing stopped .....
I couldn't stand the pain of losing him and my child....
I took his hand, put my mother's chain and tied our hands together .....
I promised him .....
" EVEN DEATH CAN'T DO US APART., MY LOVE !!!!....HERE AFTER IN ALL MY BIRTHS ,..I PROMISE TO BE YOURS.!!!!...I SWEAR IN THE NAME OF GOD AND MYSELF AS DEMIGOD TO BE YOURS AND ONLY YOURS EVEN IF WE ARE IN OPPOSITE POLES.....!!! AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME....YOU WILL BE IN MY HEART ALWAYS...!!!
LOVE YOU JADE.....!!!!
I breathed my last breath....knowing that my " PROMISE OF TOGETHERNESS WILL ALWAYS LEAD ME TO HIM , IN ALL MY NEXT BIRTHS"!!!!.
