chapter 2

I went up to my room to change to an appropriate outfit, by that time Stella had already gone and I really wanted to tell her about the bad feeling I am having. I went downstairs to meet my mother ready to go. We were on our way to the woods to set up the picnic and have a nice chat like mother wanted when suddenly she stopped.

"I want me and emma to be alone ,the rest of you stay here" she said to the guards that were with us.

So it was only me and my mother that went to the clearing in the woods to set up the picnic to have an alone time while the guards who were a little bit far from us kept watch.

"I remember when we used to come here, you were just a little innocent girl at that time and we would always play hide and seek" said mother

I smiled remembering those times, only if she knew how much I missed her.

"Well we can still play right,I mean this will be the last time I will be your little girl" I said smiling.

"Of course darling, I mean this was part of the reason I said we should come here" She said.

"Well before we start can I ask you a question about something that has been bothering me since you suggested this picnic" I said.

"what will that be" she said looking a bit panicked.

"Well why after all this time did you ask for a picnic together, you have been avoiding me since you gave birth to jake (my brother) and sometimes when I would catch up to you, your eyes will be filled of hatred for me to the extent I won't be able to ask you anything, I missed you so much" I said tears threatening to spill from my eyes.

She smiled a little bit forcedly if I am seeing correctly.

"Why don't we just forget about the past for now and focus on the present, I know you have a lot of questions and I will make sure to answer them after the picnic, so let us forget about that for now and have fun" she said.

"Okay then, I will hide and you will seek but please don't forget to answer my questions later mother" I said a little bit seriously.

"Yes darling, later" she said looking at me a little fiercely might I add.

So I went to hide, feeling a little bit better, I am pretty sure she has started looking for me and it will be a little bit difficult for her to find me because I am so good at hiding, I was thinking to myself when I heard ...

"Found you" My mother said smiling with mischief holding something behind her back, now I wonder what she will be hiding.

"What are you hiding behind your back mother" I said smiling when she was already closer to me.

"Won't you like to know Darling" she said.

So before I knew it I felt a sharp pain at my side, I looked down with dread and found a knife stabbed into my chest.

"Why would you do this mother" tears spilling from my eyes.

"Why wouldn't I you ungrateful b****, you took everything from me the day you were born and now you think you can also have the throne that should be your brother's, I will rather die than see that happen" she said spitting on me.

"What do you mean by that mother" I said breathing heavily, my eyes already closing, but I must know what she meant by I took everything from her.

"What I meant to say you b**** was that after giving birth to a girl instead of a boy I was belittled sometimes your father beat me up saying I was a disgrace and would go to sleep outside with other women, but one day GOD answered my prayer and gave me a boy and that made your father happy so he came to love me again, but you are going to ruin everything if you take that throne and I won't let it happen. Your father said that he will stop sleeping outside if i am able to stop you from ascending the throne and that is what I am going to do" she said looking at me with hatred.

"So I hope you have a lovely time in your grave darling" she said

"No don't .....

she stabbed me again and again until everywhere was dark.
