Chapter 49
The nights start to march toward the day kingdom. Luna, who is full of anger rides on her own night terror. 'I will kill every last day if it is the last thing I ever do.' Luna thinks then the moon starts to turn black and red. Petra and Olivia look at each other while Shira, Clementine, Axel, Jadie and the other nights match behind them. Olivia looks directly at Petra. "Petra, don't get me wrong. I love it here in the night kingdom but don't you think that this is going to far? The days don't deserve to die." She puts her bow on her back and looks back at the road. "I agree with you, Olivia. Jesse was right to run away but its to late to turn back down." Petra sighs and keeps her eyes on the road. Neither one of them say anything else and the last thing that is said, is said by Shira. "The queen is losing it..."
King Sean and Queen Solar look at each other and Solar sighs. "Solar, honey. I know it pains you to do this but it's the only way to protect them. If everything goes as planned then it should be fine but if we all die..." King Sean sighs and looks over at Jesse and Lukas as they walk back to their room, hand in hand. "Its time. I'll go. You make sure everyone here is ready." He says then he starts to follow you the young couple. Queen Solar tears up and nods. Everyone looks at her as she says, "Everyone. Get your armor and prepare to fight." Everyone scrambles off to the basement armory and Solar goes to a window. "...lets hope everything will be okay and his plan of talking it out... works." Jesse looks at Lukas' dresser and Lukas goes to the left side of it. Jesse goes to the left side as well and start pushing. They both push the heavy dresser until the handles of Jesse's sword and Lukas' bow and arrows are completely visible. Lukas and Jesse both look at each other then King Sean walks in. "Lukas, Jesse. I need to talk to you two."
Lukas looks at Jesse before saying, "Okay dad. What would you like to talk about?"
"Well... Given the situation. Solar and I have decided that we need to keep you guys safe. If we all die, you could be the only guys left and we can't risk you dying as well. Solar and I have also decided... to try and negotiate with your mother." King Sean looks down at them and bites his lower lip.
"..." Lukas looks at Jesse.
"WHAT?! You can't do that!" Jesse yells.
"Yes, I can."
"Sir, you don't know Luna like I do! I know you think your doing the right thing but your not! This plan of locking us up will not workout. Talking to Luna will not work out!" Jesse tears up at the thought of the day kingdom being gone. The thought of everyone dying.
"Dad, I have to agree with Jesse. You can't do this." Lukas holds onto Jesse's hand.
"I'm sorry you two but you don't have a choice in this." He backs up through the door way and shuts the door.
When Jesse and Lukas go to open the door, it is locked. Jesse kicks at the door while Lukas backs up, "King Sean! Let us out!" She keeps kicking at the door but no matter how many timed she kicked, it would not open. After ten minutes of Jesse kicking at the door, Lukas sighs. "Jesse, this is useless." Lukas grabs her hand and pulls her onto his bed. Jesse sighs. "I...I know its just. Lukas, what ever your dad has planned. Its not gonna work." Lukas looks at Jesse as she says that. "Jesse... your right, this talking to Luna thing isn't gonna work but we can't just leave. What do you propose we do?" Jesse looks around before seeing a window. "Bingo."
While Jesse steps on Lukas' desk and tries to ram it open with her left shoulder, she sees Luna and King Sean talking then, out of the very little light in the area, Jesse sees a small knife behind Lunas back. "Oh no..." She starts slamming her shoulder into the window again and it starts to crack. "Jesse! What are you doing?! You could fall out and die that way!" Jesse ignored Lukas and keeps ramming into the window. "Jesse!" Lukas grabs onto her arm and pulls Jesse away from the breaking glass, "What are you doing?!" He asks and Jesse looks up at him. "Luna has a knife!" "...WHAT?!" Lukas gasps in horror. He starts to tear up. He sits down and covers his face. Jesse takes a deep breathe, "Lukas, I need your help. I already lost my parents but we have a chance to save yours." She reaches out to him. "..." Lukas looks at her hand. "Please, Lukas. We can do this... Together." Lukas wipes his tears and grabs her hand. Once he is stood up, Jesse goes back to the window and slams into it one more time but to her surprise, it actually cracks and she starts to fall will the glass. "Jesse!" Lukas grabs onto Jesse's arm then they both go falling through the broken window.
