Chapter 53: memories trapped in an heirloom

Celeste's pov****

I saw the golden haired woman look at me with pleading eyes. I ignored those pleading eyes and just continued to watch the horrific scene before me, ignoring my own remorse.

"I beg you! I have a child! Please! You're mother I beg for mercy!" Her cries were desperate just as my own were quiet. I bit my inner cheek in an attempt to keep myself from crying out. I couldn't bare this cruelty. But this was who I was. Who I became. I had no choice. My daughter laughed a wicked laugh and unsheathed her sword. "Father?"

The man next to me said nothing but continued to stared at the scene before us with a bored expression, his head resting annoyingly on his hand while his elbow rested on his throne arm. His scorching red eyes watching every single movement, every single emotion emanating from the trio below us, just a bit away from the thrones we were currently sitting on.

Roxanne laughed and Arithen paled, an expression of pain and hatred cross his face once my husband said nothing. The blond woman cried and pleaded, "she is your granddaughter great Verona! She is of your blood have mercy on her that's all I plead!" Roxanne let her blade fall swiftly, slitting the golden haired girl's throat in one swift movement. Tainting the floor and her sword with her blood. The girl went limp and fell to the ground.

Roxanne with a triumph grin walked up to Arithen and wiped the blood off her blade on his chest and clothes. "There brother!" She laughed, "I have cleansed you of that witch's spell! You're free now! Aren't you happy!" I can see the horrible pain he was in. And I blamed myself for it. I took my sons happiness.. I walked towards him and dismissed my daughter, forcing her to leave the room. In fear of being over heard by my husband I spoke to Arithen through our minds. "I'm sorry this is all my-" He shook his head "you just wanted to meet her, you didn't know father nor Roxanne were watching us..." Arithen grabbed my hands and placed a kiss on my knuckles, gave me a small smile and after picking up her body left to go mourn for his Lost beloved wife. I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and noticed that my husband was not in his throne. Fear consumed my body completely. I ran towards where the child was being held in. "Erebos please!" My pleas reached deaf ears for he continued to ignore me. He walked into the small nursery I had once used for Arithen and Roxanne, took the child from the maid and walked back out. "Erebos please listen to me!" Again he chose to ignore me, the child began to cry and scream and it took every ounce of my self control not to attack my own husband in defense of that poor baby. He only stopped walking when he reached a balcony that stood over a brink of a dark and black abyss. One that only both of us knew what it contained. I grabbed onto his arm in a desperate attempt to keep him from harming the child, "Erebos please, she's only a baby! And she's not even a Dragomir she is of our blood Erebos she's of YOUR blood! Let her live!" He turned to look at me, his cold red eyes staring right into my tear stained green ones. His expression was one of mock and heartlessness, "why? So that she may become a traitor like Helen and Teresa?" He chuckled and turned his body towards me and began to caress my cheek, "you have such a big heart my dear..."

Tears welled up in my eyes and I began to hiccup as light sobs took over. "Then you have absolutely no heart Erebos.." He fixed a strand of my hair behind my ear and held the child over the abyss, "no Verona... I never did.."

And he dropped her..

"NOO! NO HE KILLED HER!" I screamed over and over again the same words. I felt dark jump next to me and pull me close frantically, "cel, it's ok! Shhh it's ok no one killed anyone it's ok. Calm down cel it's only a nightmare.." I whimpered, "liar... He killed her.. He fucking killed the baby he's a fucking murderer.." Sobs racked my body as dark pulled me closer to him. That horrid nightmare vivid as if I had actually lived it, engraved permanently in my mind. That man's horrible cruelty, the scar on his left eye engraved In my mind won't be something I'll forget anytime soon.

That poor innocent child..

That poor child who had wanted nothing but to live. Who's only crime was wanting to live, was killed by her own grandfather!

"Celeste for the love of Nayru calm down you're shaking like you saw demise himself! Relax it was only a dream it's ok please relax you'll hurt the kids." Another sob took over when dark mentioned my babies. What if this wasn't a dream?! What if this man really existed?! Who was this man anyways?! I've never seen him but everyone else in my dream was real! Roxanne, Arithen, Verona, hell I bet the blond girl was even Saramina! What kind of nightmare was this?!

I sobbed until I could no longer produce a tear. Dark had me wrapped up in his arms, refusing to let me go, or even let me get up for a walk. He would occasionally rub my belly and massage circles into my lower back, in an attempt to calm me down.

"Are you ok now?" I sniffed and nodded, snuggling closer to him looking for comfort from the horrid images that threatened to plague my mind.  "Do you want to talk-"

"Please dark the last thing I need is to remember it..." He nodded and placed a kiss on my shoulder, causing a small shiver to run up my spine. "Do you want to go back to sleep then?" I shook my head, "no.." He chuckled and began to rub my belly again, "you know we never really started to talk about what we would name them."

"No juniors..."

He whined, "awww come on! Why not? It sounds nice! Dark jr. I like that!" I laughed and shook my head, "no darkie not going to happen." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Good I got what I wanted."

I frowned. "What?"

"I got what I wanted. I wanted to hear you laugh tonight and I got it." He smirked and I elbowed him playfully in his bare stomach making him hiss angrily and playfully tickle my sides. We spent the night like that tiring ourselves out with games and mischief throughout the night.

Anything to get that horrid nightmare away...
