Section three: Nephaledia!
Episode  43
 
I sang as I made my way back to the boundary of the capital city in Nephaledia, one I knew he would find me. I was lost, didn’t know how to get back so I opted for letting him find me dramatically. I wore a bright blue crazy jean with a nice silver ombre from the knees to heels area. My red Canvas was heavy and designed with stones, pretty blue stones. I wore a red jacket over a silver sport b-ra and didn’t bother zipping it up
What other way to annoy my pretty boyflend, yeah, I know what I said.
‘Who’re you?’ The guard at the front asked with his ugly stone face, like literally, his face was made out of stone.
‘I dunno,’ I shrugged ‘I’m lost and need to find where I’m going.’ The other guys stared at me intensely, like they have seen me somewhere. I flipped my spiral curl ponytail and c*cked my h¡ps.
‘She looks like Princess Aurora, doesn’t she?’ I heard one whisper and soon there carried that murmur. ‘What’s your name?’ The guy asked after three minutes of murmuring.
‘Aurora, why?’ They all gasped and the murmur increased.
‘We should call his majesty…’
‘No question her more.’
‘She might be an intruder, a stupid evil shapeshifter wanting to trick us…’
‘Yeah that’s right. The last time thus happened, a lot of people died and the king got furious. Remember his orders to kill every unreasonable people….’
‘How do you know I’m unreasonable? You don’t even….I don’t have time for this,’ I smiled. ‘I believe you can all dance better than Michael Jackson.’ They started dancing, I giggled and skipped into the city.
The place was awesome! High, as in super high technologies. It almost made me feel like I was in Atlantis, you know, Aquaman’s Atlantis….I miss that movie, does this place even have those? Humph. I exploded the city on foot, I barely felt it. People stared and pointed at me, most knew who I was because of the statues Aris placed at almost every important part of the city. I could tell he was trying to control his loneliness then, or to adore me.
I was the only one wearing my style of outfit.
Their clothing was different, beautiful and shiny but in a very complicated way.
I felt so proud of myself, people were taking photos of me, I played ignorant while I secretly adored it. They should low how beautiful their future Queen is.
I stopped at the centre of the city, where the biggest statue of me and the girls stood as a fountain in a roundabout. I sat on a furry stoned throne hugging a pretty teddy with eyes closed. Ariana sat the arm of the chair with a cute pout and eye closed, she had one hand wrapped around my neck. Abbiana sat at the other arm holding a phone up like she was taking a selfie, I smiled and wiped my tears. I remembered how we met, everything we’d been through, all our memories and I missed them. Like the birthday, I would have needed Ariana’s awesome fashion sense to make me look more tempting but she wasn’t around. Abbiana would have been smiling as she watched us go through different dresses and…..I was cut off by a scre-m, a really loud one.
I averted my eyes to a building quite far, people were running away from the building, a tall lion like cat stood on it, spikes protruded out of it back to it tail. It somehow had the back of an armadillo with the spikes of a porcupine. People were damn scared and I knew why the moment it scre-m, the high frequent reflecting Ariana’s previous banshee wail. I covered my eyes and shut my eyes, my head hurt like crazy. I peeled my eyes open, I could feel it looking at me and I was right, it jumped down from the building and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of me. It big demon black eyes piercing into my soul.
I stood still with arms folded, it was possessed by a dark spirit, not sure from where but I knew it was a sad spirit, her spirit was calling me, it came here for me. It was actually a female, we were staring at each other, she was asking for help.
‘Please, help me.’
‘Who are you?’ I asked telepathically.
‘I don’t know, one moment I was in my den sleeping and the next I’m always furious and coming out to kill and eat people, I’m scared and alone. The king don’t see that, he just want me dead.’
‘Because you’re terrorizing his people, duh….spirit, who are you?’
‘My name’s Maribel, I’m the spirit of the girl that wants justice.’
‘Justice for what?’
‘Mamuwei! She killed my family, beheaded my fiancé and used my blood to renew her life. She does that every twenty years, kill a loved V-rgin with strong healing light and use her blood to renew her life. That’s why she don’t age.’
‘Wh….’ The body of the beastie thing flew back and crashed on a car. I saw Aramis, he was furious, his hair floating in the air and eyes a glowing white fury. I wasn’t sure if it was because of me or her, either….okay, because of both of us but I won’t accept that. He growled and averted his eyes to her.
She stood up and roared, her spikes growing longer and more deadlier. I rolled my eyes, he couldn’t kill her, I could feel his frustration. She was unkillable and he didn’t know why, that frustrated him but he didn’t wat anyone to know that.
‘Two of you, I believe you can sit like good children and listen to me.’ I said authoritatively. I knew it won’t work on him but it did on her. She whined and whimpered scrubbing her face, she wanted to resist the command. ‘Come on, sit!’ She sat but Aramis just glared at him.
‘You! Don’t embarrass me in front of people!’ He sent a telepathic message. I stuck out my tongue childishly and walked to her.
‘If you’d paid more attention to her, you’d have known she’s possessed.’ I car-ssed her mane, she only had on her head and not around like a real lion. ‘Tell me Maribel, what should I do for you?’
‘I want her dead, to pay for what she did to me and my family.,’ she sobbed. ‘I want to rest in peace knowing such a evil person is dead.’
‘And I promise you, I’ll kill Mamuwei myself, please, let the poor lion go.’
‘She’s not an ordinary lion, she’s special but don’t know what she is. It was hærd possessing her, she almost feels like you.’
‘Me?’ I asked puzzledly. I closed my eyes and connected my energy to hers, she didn’t feel like me, she was Zander! Her light, her spirit and soul was just like his. No wonder Aris couldn’t kill her, she was Zander’s destined animal guide. ‘Awwwwwwn, Zanny junior,’ I cooed and tickled under her chin, she purred and wiggled her chin on my hand. ‘Aren’t you the prettiest little flower!’ I said with a baby coo voice. She meowed and licked my face.
I laughed and ruffled her hair.
‘You’re the most beautiful creature in the world!’ I squealed.
‘Excuse me!’ Aris exclaimed. ‘She’s as ugly as Mamuwei.’ He scoffed, she snarled at him. ‘Oh shut up, don’t growl at me. I’m not the one living a life of a lie, I’m gorgeous and you’re ugly, deal with it.’ I stared at him plainly
‘Seriously?’
‘What!’ He exclaimed throwing his hands up. ‘My best and only friend is a cat, am I suppose to be mentally normal.’ I rolled my eyes. ‘You just indirectly said that ugly cannibalistic oversize poodle is better than me!’
‘Grrrrrrr,’ she growled. I pet her.
‘Ignore him, he’s a jealous person. You’re way more prettier.’
‘Are you seriously choosing a beast over me!’
‘Are you still here?’ I asked nonchalantly. He scre-med and pulled his hair. He have always had sanity issues since he I released him from the statue. I chuckled and looked at her.
‘I’ll leave but hold to your words, you’ll end Mamuwei for me, right?’
‘I swear on his life.’ I said jokingly. She giggled. The thing stepped back and shook violently, she whimpered and cried as the spikes lowered and body burnt.
‘Do not fail me Princess,’ her voice echoed in my head before she ascended to the sky. Gold light surrounded the cat, the light was blinding so I has to shut it. Her energy exploded and probably covered the entire city. By the time it died down, she was unconscious on the ground. She was a little gold cat with almost the same markings as White.
‘Whoa,’ I bent down and carried her, her energy was strong, Zandery if I must say. I hugged her sleeping body, it was like hugging him in person. ‘Can we go back now?’ I asked Aris who still wasn’t smiling.
‘Or sure and maybe this time, White would be s€×y to you.’ He said sarcastically, I rolled my eyes and turned. I walked away. ‘Hey! Where are you going?!’
‘F-ck you!’ I gave him my middle finger…. Geez! She was heavy. A scre-m left my mouth as a force blew me away, the next place I saw myself was upsidedown a tree. ‘Hey! Aramis!’
‘Princess!’ Lumi gasped. ‘You’re alive! Are you okay?’
‘I’m upsidedown!!!!’
‘Awwwwn, what a cute kitty,’ Astra cooed carrying the cat from the ground. ‘Who’s she?’
‘Get me down from here!’
‘My Lord said to not interfere,’ Solaria said apologetically. ‘Don’t worry, we’ll take care of her for you.’
‘She’s just like White but he’s stronger….. White found a girlfriend!’
‘Shhhhh,’ Lumina shushed. ‘You know creatures like this don’t mate, don’t even think about it.’
‘Aramis have her, one rule bended so another can be bent too. I’ll take her to White and watch him fall in love…..’ She squealed and disappeared.
‘Astra! Don’t!’ Lumina shrieked and followed and then Solaria.
‘Isn’t anybody paying attention to the girl tied to a tree!!!! I’m upside down!!!’ Nobody seemed to care. I couldn’t free myself, he’s strong. ‘White help me!’
I hate him.
I sniffed and tried not to cry, he really was punishing me for leaving the castle and choosing a cat over him. He’s the most childish minded idiot I’ve ever met!
‘I heard that!’ He voice snapped from my head. ‘Plus one.’ It started raining only on the tree. ‘You’ll sleep there throughout the night.’
‘Aramis please….’
‘I can’t hear you.’ He blocked me out. I had a taste of my own medicine and it didn’t feel good at all but he who laughs last, laugh the most. Since his jealousy is easily activated, I’m going to make him cry. If he don’t kill me first that is. It would  be like killing two birds with one stone
