The Forgotten Princess

The explosives made a huge explosion.
When I opened my eyes I saw the wall had crumbled down and the debris littered everywhere.
There was now a way out of the palace.

”Come men, let’s go. ” Jack waved to his men.

I also got up from where I was hiding when I saw arrows flying towards us.

”Arrows! ” I yelled.

Just then I didn’t realize that an arrow was heading towards me.

”ALICIA! ” Jack yelled.

I looked at the flying arrows towards me with wide eyes.
It was like time was in slow motion; I could not move an inch.

’Will I really die here?’ I thought with regret.
’I still want to live.
I still want to see you.
Leon.’

If only I could use my magic right now, all would be fine.
But this side of the palace grounds is still near the palace made of janetite.
I also left the magic crystal to my mother if ever there would be an emergency on their way out to escape.

I heard Jack screaming and I see him running towards me, but he was at a distance that won’t reach me on time.
I closed my eyes bracing myself for the arrows to hit me.

*Swish swish twong*

The sounds of flying arrows were heard around me.
I heard them landing on the ground and some of it had grazed my arms and legs.
I felt a tinge of pain but that was all.
I was surprised that none of the arrows have hit my body directly.

”Ahhh.. ” I heard a low cry right in front of me.

’Someone blocked the arrows in front of me.’ My heart was thumping so hard.
I was afraid to see who used their body to shield me from the onslaught of arrows.

I slowly opened my eyes to see a woman wearing a very beautiful gown in front of me.
Her back was facing me and I could see the arrows lunged on her body.

’This dress is…’ I remembered who was wearing this dress just a while ago.

Inside the ball room, all of the female guests were wearing such beautiful gowns and the men were wearing stunning tuxedos.
I will never forget who was wearing such a beautiful dress.

”Elizabeth? ” I was shocked that she was the one right in front of me.

”A…Alicia… ” Elizabeth looked back towards me.
”T-That’s good…you are…safe. ” Elizabeth struggled to let out her words.
I can see a trickle of blood from the side of her mouth.
Elizabeth then lost her balance and was about to fall on the ground.

”Elizabeth! ” I screamed her name and ran towards her.

Fortunately I was able to catch her before she fell down on the ground.
I wrapped her body around my arms.

”Elizabeth, Elizabeth… ” I was frantically calling out her name.
I can feel tears running down my eyes.

”W-Why are you crying for me? ” Elizabeth opened her eyes and looked up at me.
”I always did bad things to you in the past and yet…
here you are shedding tears for me. ”

I can see that she wasn’t looking good.
Three arrows are lounged in her body.
Her beautiful pink dress is now stained with her blood.

”D-Don’t talk…*hic*…
conserve your energy. ” I told her while sobbing.
”W-Why did you do such a thing? Why did you save me? ”

I was really not expecting for her to save me.
Of all people that resent me, I know she is number one.

”I-It’s just…
my body moved on its own. ” Elizabeth said with a weak voice.
”W-When I saw you running and was being chased…I-I thought that you were in trouble.
The l-last time we talked…I-I thought of many things. ” Elizabeth said.
”I-I would like to know you more as….as a sister.
I have many things to atone. ”

”Then you need to hang in there okay. ” I told her with a forceful tone.
”Don’t you die on me now.
I-I also want to know you better as a sister. ” My tears are falling nonstop.

I really don’t want Elizabeth to die.
After that night when we talked and brought all of our grievances, I felt a little close to her.
I never thought that Elizabeth and I will be on the same page.

”I…I think I can’t…*cough*…last long. ” Elizabeth said with a sad smile.
”I am just sad that we can’t…get to know each other. ”

”No! Don’t say such things.You are going to be fine, you hear me. ” I looked around searching for anyone that can help.
”Help! Please, anyone.
My sister needs help! ”

I held Elizabeth’s hands and it felt cold.
I was afraid…afraid of losing her.

”Alicia…please relay to father that I am sorry. ” Elizabeth looked at me with such sad eyes.
”I have caused him nothing but problems.
Please tell him that I love him so much. ”

”No, you tell him that yourself. ” I said while crying.

”And please tell big sister Veronica to let go of her hatred. ” Elizabeth said.
”After I have let go of mine, I felt lighter.
Alicia, I would have loved to be your big sister.
I…I am sorry… ”

Elizabeth’s face looked very pale and she was getting colder by the second.
I was feeling regret and pain.
If only I was able to use my magic, then this would not have happened.
I should be the one struck by those arrows.
The guilt inside me was forming.
I don’t want Elizabeth to die.

Then Elizabeth inhaled deeply as if she can’t catch her breath.
And with that she had breathe her last breath.
Her hand that I was holding went limp.
The warmth of her body left her.

”No…no…no… ” I can’t believe this.
This wasn’t supposed to happen.
”This…this is my fault.
She should not have died here now and in my arms. ” My tears are falling on Elizabeth’s beautiful dress.
The blood stains have covered her upper body.

”A-Alicia…this is not your fault. ” Jack was by my side without me knowing.

”Jack, please…
please save her. ” I said with pleading eyes but he shook his head with sadness.

”It’s too late Alicia.
She is already gone. ” Jack said with remorse.

”No, no, no…she cannot die, just when we have fixed our relationship as sister. ” I said with regret.
”No, this isn’t happening. ”

”Stop firing! ” Gladiolus’ voice was heard from a distance.
The guards that were after us stopped with his order.
”Can’t you see that you are firing towards my wife and concubine?! ”

Gladiolus took a sword from a guard and stabbed the guards that fired the arrows upon us.

”Stop attacking! ” Queen Patricia arrived at the scene.
I looked at her and she did that same towards me.
”Alicia dear, just come back and I promise you that your friends would be spared. ”

Seeing my aunt just made my hatred towards them more intense.
Because of them, many bad things happened.
And now my sister Elizabeth is dead in my arms.
I can feel something boiling inside me.
I cannot control it any longer.

”Aaahhhhhh. ” I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Light flashed from my body and a huge gust of wind pushed everything surrounding me flying away.

And then my mind just became blank.
