My love in a Bottle

Once upon a time, there was a witch named Azalkina, who lived in the deep woods, in a cottage, who used to separate lovers because of her jelousy. Azalkina, was thousand years old, the ugliest of the witches. She had a rock like heart and hated anything beautiful, like beauty, love, simplicity, innocence and etc... At that time, king Robert and his wife Aurora were ruling the peaceful area. Robert was building beautiful gardens and was renovating his people's houses and was taking care of them in every way. Azalkina was always watching the kings every move, she was making sure that the king and his queen will never have any babies, she hated chidren's cries. Although she lived far from the castle, she heard baby cries from long distance and the sound made her go crazy. One day, Azalkina was flying over the castle distributing bad luck, she noticed the king and his queen in the beautiful garden of the castle. In the dark, where the moon was the only light, they were making love in the magical garden of beautiful flowers. Azalkina was too angry and got mad. She immediately flew to her cottage and began a strong witchcraft. She saw them giving love to eachother, and the love was pure and strong she could feel in whole her body. "I am calling the dark spirits, i am your servant, Azalkina, one of the oldest and the ugliest one, i am asking you to give me the power, that strong power of yours, to stop the king and the queen from having a baby. Their love is so powerful i am not able to separate them without your help. Give me the power i need."-: she said with raised hands. The smoke inside and outside the cottage was scary, the dark clouds were covering the cottage and keeping from eyes-sight. The thunder and lighting began, the sound of the storm was really horrible, and the trees were bending right and left. The black cloud got inside the cottage, and was placed above Azalkina's head, she raised her hands and got them inside the cloud, pulled out a yellow fluid and filled it in a flask. Her broom, Baltazar, was already waiting for her order, and with her first call, Baltazar was ready in frint of her. She got on top of it and flew back to where she saw the ling and the queen. The king and the queen were so much into each other, that they didnt even notice the black clouds approaching. Azalkina stopped on top of them and shouted. "You will never have a baby," and dropped the yellow fluid on them. The king and his queen were shocked and afraid, but the fluid was already all over the area. The flowers were dead immediately, the grass was dead and the two of them lost conscious. Few minutes later, the king and the queen woke up and went directly to their castle to hide from the scary witch. They said nothing to anyone, they kept the incidence as a secret. Weeks passed and the queen started to feel uncomfortable and ill. The king was worried about her. He thought that the witchcraft had worked and he was losing his queen. Finally the physician in the castle came out with the great news. The queen was pregnant. The king was so happy to hear the great news and he wanted to throw a great party. He invited every single one in his kingdom. He distributed gold and food and everyone was happy. The music was loud and annoyed Azalkina who knew nothing about the pregnancy. She yelled:- "Baltazar, up above the clouds." She rode Baltazar and flew towarda the castle. She was shocked to see everyone dancing and happy. She finally knew that the queen was pregnant with a baby. Azalkina was out of her mind. She didnt understand how could that happen. The love of the king and the queen was stronger than her power and her spell didnt work. She was amazed by their love and the miracle that just happened. Instead if killing the baby, she thought to steal the baby. The king Robert was aware and he was taking all control to keep his queen safe and was preparing an army to protect his baby in the future, from the cold hearted witch. The king decided and orderd his soliders to capture every single witch they find and burn them alive. Azalkina knew the plan and watched other witches being burnt alive. Their cries were heard feom far and she became angrier and more heartless. In few weeks, around 32 witches were caught and killed. Azalkina was their strongest and the darkest one, she knew they wouldnt find her or even if they did find her, they wouldnt catch her. The dark spirits would protect her and she was sure of this. Azalkina had change in plans. If the baby was a girl, she was going to kidnap her and raise her by herself as a witch. But if the baby was a boy, she was going to kill him. The king was making an army to protect his kingdom and his unborn baby from the witches. He also contacted to other kings and they all were killing witches. Azalkina was working hard with the dark spirits to gain more power. The king has built a great army for his unborn child, and the queen was about to pick 10 helpers to help her raise her child. There were almost 60 ladies and the queen was going to choose only ten. Nine of them as helpers and one of them as the head of the helpers, who was going to lead the nine. This one person was the one who was going to be the closest to the baby, and was going to stay in the same room with the child. Azalkina had put in mind to get her revenge, so she shape-shifted I to a kind lady and went to the castle. Unfortunately, the queen chose Azalkina as the head of the helpers, she gave her all the right to be close to the baby, and she was responsible for everything. This was Azalkina’s wish. Months have passed and the queen gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. When Azalkina first saw the baby prince, she felt weird and strange. She was feeling something towards the baby. Prince Richard was her responsibility, but her plan was to kill him. Days were passing but Azalkina was still unsure about killing the baby. She couldn’t hurt the baby, instead, she was feeling something towards the prince. One night she went out to her cottage and called the bad spirits. Azalkina:-“I feel something weird, I can not understand what’s wrong with me.” The spirit:-“ you have already fallen in love with prince Richard.” Azalkina:-“what? How’s that possible? I am the witch of hate and separation.” The spirit:-“ do you remember the night when you emptied the yellow separation flask over the king and the queen?” Azalkina:-“sure, how may I forget?” The spirit:-“ that night, you inhaled the red smoke. The love between the king and the queen is so powerful, even more powerful than your separation yellow spell. When you emptied the flask their love won over it and it turned to a red smoke, and the red smoke is love, and you inhaled it, it effected you. The moment you inhaled it the baby Richard was created and your love towards Richard has begun.” Azalkina:-“ how is that possible?” The spirit:” come and look into your magic sphere, you will see Richard as an adult.” Azalkina looked into her magic sphere and she was admired by Richard. He was a handsome king and she wanted him so badly. Azalkina:-“ I want him, I want him now!” The spirit:-“ that’s not possible Azalkina, he is a baby yet, and you are the one who will protect and raise him.” Azalkina:-“ will he love me?” The spirit:-“ he will, but its your choice how he loves you.” Azalkina:-“ what does that mean?” The spirit:-“ I can not answer that.” And the dark spirit had gone. Azalkina was surprised by what the spirit has told her. She looked into the mirror, and saw the ugliest creature she ever saw. She was the worst witch and the ugliest one. She shape-shifted to the nanny and went back to the castle. She held baby Richard and whispered. “You are going to be the only love of my life, I will love you with all my being. I will take care if you and protect you until you’re old enough to love me back.” When Richard was two years old, the queen became too sick and died. The king didn’t know what to do but to trust Azalkina to raise his child. The king:-“ Azalkina, I trust you, and I know that you will raise my child as yours, for I can see how much you love and care about him.” Azalkina was taking care of Richard as he was the most valuable thing in the world. She even forgot about the spirit and to serve him. She was waiting the day to see Richard as an adult. She tried many spells to speed up his growth but that wasn’t possible and when he was 22 years old, the king decided to marry his son to a beautiful princess. Azalkina was out of her mind. She raised Richard to herself. She knew what he likes in a woman, she knew how to behave and everything he lives to do. But Azalkina didn’t realize that her powers were fading, she wasn’t loyal to the spirit and the spirit was upset. One night, she ran to her cottage and called the spirit. The spirit:-“how dare you call me after all these years?” Azalkina:-“I need you to help me. The king has brought a young princess to marry Richard.” The spirit:-“ I can not help you.” Azalkina:-“ I would do anything for you, so you give my powers back.” The spirit was silent and suddenly a roar was heard, Azalkina knew how angry was the spirit, she kneeled before him and begged:-“ I beg you, give me Richard, I will do anything to please you.” The spirit:-“ this is not possible, you and only you could do that. Love is always stronger than any spell.” Azalkina:-“ tell me what should I do?” The spirit:-“Richard has to love you to be with you, not you nor me, are able ti do this, because the fairies of true love had placed pure love deep in his heart.” Azalkina was disappointed but she wasn’t going to give up. She felt what love feels like, and she never wanted to lose that, she wanted more and more. She wanted Richard to love her back just like she loves him. She wanted him to be her lover for forever. When she was back to the castle as the old lady, Richard ran to her. Richard:-“ Azal, I didn’t like the princess, but my father thinks this is the best for me. How could I marry a girl I don’t love, or like or even know.” Azalkina:-“Richard this is the best for you. You must listen to you king father.” Richard:-“but I hate this girl.” Azalkina’s heart was bleeding, but she had no other choice, until, she gets her powers back. The same morning she called the spirit back. Azalkina:-“ask for anything and I will do for you, I just want my great powers back, so that I can shape-shift into a beautiful young girl and win his heart.” The spirit was silent. Azalkina:-“please, I want him.” The spirit:-“ I will only give 25% of your powers back, so that you separate 1000 couples in 24 hours.” Azalkina:-“what? 1000 couples in 24 hours? How is that possible?i have to be in the castle, and be around Richard.” The spirit:-“ the only way to get your powers back is to please me as you used to.” Azalkina had no other choice to accept the deal. She went back to the castle and tried her best, but that was not possible without her powers. Weeks passed and Azalkina was still trying her best to separate and spread hate between lovers. It was the wedding day and Azalkina was dying inside. She acted like this was the best for Richard but she couldn’t accept the reality. She finally gave up and called the spirit. The spirit filled the cottage with black smoke filled with fear, hate and unpredictable existence. The spirit:-“ Azalkina, you’ve upset the great master, you separated no one.” Azalkina:-“ but how can I do so without my powers?” The spirit:-“use your humanity.” And the spirit was gone. Azalkina was worried and the wedding was about to begin. She ran back to the castle only to see Richard in his wonderful prince outfit. She was in love with him, and he was going to get married with a stranger. The wedding ceremony had begun. Azalkina was mad but couldn’t do anything to save her prince. She watched him get married to princess Emily, who was only 19 years old. Yes, she was very very beautiful young girl, and Azalkina was the ugliest creature. She was shape-shifted into a kind old lady, but what she wanted was to become the most beautiful girl in the village. She knew Richard didn’t want a princess but his father decision was impossible to change. Richard got married. He was going to sleep with the princess, he was going to kiss her and fall sleep beside her. Azalkina was angry and she put in her mind to separate the newly weds. She started witchcrafts and tried new spells. She knew Richard didn’t love her and she thought it was easier to separate them. The king was still haunting witches and killing them mercilessly. Azalkina became dangerous by time. She watched Richard unhappy and bored. Finally she decided to kill the king. At midnight, she got a dagger and slipped to the kings room. The king was sleeping deeply, she pulled out the dagger and cut out his belly, the king opened his eyes, only to see an ugly creature sitting on top of him, looking scary and wild. Azalkina:-“ I wanted to separate you and your queen but your great love was reflected against me, and I got effected by that, that’s when I knew what love feels like, and now, as if its not enough to make me feel what love is, you stole the love of my life, I am going to take your life, and get my love back.” And she finally cut off his throat and killed the king. With an old but known feeling , she turned her back and went out. Her cold heart was back. In the early morning, the king’s death was spread further than it could reach. Richard was sad, and now it was time to become king. The new bride Emily wasn’t the perfect match for him. Emily became a s*x addict and she started to sleep with every single guard or cook or any solider she liked. Azalkina knew about this, just because she was the reason Emily became one. Azalkina used the power she had left to turn Emily to a s*x addict. She watched Richard suffer and get ashamed of his queen. Her eyes were filled with hate and anger. One day when Richard was outside the castle hunting, Azalkina saw the queen entering an u used cell pulling a solider behind her. She followed them. Emily:-“I am your queen, and you have to do to whatever I ask for.” The solider:-“yes my queen, anything you ask for.” Emily:-“have s*x with me.” The solider was silent for a while. The solider:-“but my queen…” Emily:-“I like you solider, come on, f**k me.” The solider:-“but my queen, I could lose my head if I did so.” Emily:-“you’re wrong. You’ll lose your head if you don’t.” And the sound of making love began to get louder and louder. Azalkina ran back to her room satisfied by what she had created and Richard saw her rush. Richard:-“Azal…wait.” She stopped and looked into her lovers eyes. Richard:-“whats wrong? What happened? You seem shocked.” Azalkina wanted to separate them and she decided to tell him. Azalkina:-“ I really don’t know how to tell you this Richard, but I guess I should tell and be honest and loyal to you as I was whole my life.” Richard:-“whats wrong Azal? Tell me. You know you could tell me anything, and I wi do anything for you.” Azalkina:-“its not about me Richard, its about Emily.” Richard:-“did she upset you? Did she say something and hurt you???” Azalkina:-“ no, no Richard.” Richard:-“then what is it?” Azalkina:-“I saw her..” Richard:-“yes…?” Azalkina:-“I’m not sure if I should tell this, but…” Richard:-“tell me Azal.” Azalkina:-“she was pulling a solider, she took him to the unused cell and…” Richard:-“and what ???” Azalkina:-“she forced him to sleep with her.” Richard didn’t look shocked or even surprised. Azalkina:-“Richard? Are you ok?” Richard:-“yes Azal I am ok. I already know about this, but I didn’t tell you just to not make you worry about me. “ Azalkina:-“you do?” Richard:-“yes from day one.” Azalkina:-“but you have to do something about this.” Richard:”I know. But its f*******n for a king to leave his queen. You must know the rules.” What? Were there rules? Azalkina didn’t know about the rules at all. Richard is not able to get separated? How could this be possible. She is betraying the king, sleeping with everyone, and its f*******n to separate? How come? Azalkina:-“what will you do?” Richard:-“I am building a secret room next to our room, and a door from inside our room to the secret room, have her a large bed and everything she likes, don’t want anyone in the castle catch her or see her doing this to me, instead, I am giving her her privacy to do whatever she wants, away from me.” Azalkina was shocked and had nothing to do except for accepting what Richard had decided. She couldn’t upset him for any reason. She had hope that one day she will have him as a lover. The secret room was done and Richard gifted the key to his wife…
