Amelia P.O.V

I stare at the scene in front of me, there was darkness around me and I was standing on sand. I can detect a silhouette of a person directly in front of me. He was kneeling down on the ground, groaning, I couldn't see his face  partially because of the darkness and partially he covered his face with his hands. 

"Who are you?" I asked slowing walking towards him, this place is scary but I am not fearing while  going near him, its like my mind knows that the unknown person won't hurt me. His body stiffened and he removed his hands away, slowly he turned his head in my direction, due to darkness I couldn't see his face clearly but his eyes. They were beautiful dark eyes with golden tint in them. 

"Emerald"

I groaned turning to the other side shielding my face from the light that's falling from the window directly to my face. Just then my alarm started blaring at full volume. I sighed and sat up up on my bed, turning off the alarm first. I yawned and rubbed my eyes to get the sleep out of my mind. 

Today is last day of our first year before we all go for our summer vacation. I just want to lay in bed for a while rather than attending the boring lectures.

"You are still not up Amy!" My best friend and my dorm mate said exiting from the joining bathroom of our room. Her hair was dripping wet and she was fully dressed to go out. I shrugged my shoulder and lie down again. Maybe I should just bailed on today class. 

Nice Idea

"No, No, you are not sleeping again, Get ready, today is our last day together before summer" Blaire yelled yanking the comforter away from me and throwing it on floor. Cool air passed through our open window towards me, goosebumps appeared on my body. "Why do we have to go, Can't you just drop the class for one day" I complained rubbing my bare arms and standing up on my feet. She just gave me a look and I sighed, turning away from her towards our closet getting my clothes for the day which I have already arranged last night.  

"Get ready quick, you have five minutes" Blaire said before I closed the door to the bathroom.

Let me introduce myself, My name is Amelia Kingston and I am a California girl studying in New York away from my family. My family only consist my father who is most of the time away from home due to his business that's why I am going to spend my summer vacation with my Aunt who lives in Nevada. I like spending time with her, she is so calm and soft spoken. Maybe this summer will be different, I would enjoy it with her.

***

We were walking towards lunch table after our boring morning classes were over. I was half asleep most of the time. We already had our exams, then whats the use of these classes now but Blaire can't miss even one class, she is the extreme nerd and star student of our college. "So, where you are going for Summer vacation?" I asked her taking a seat at the far corner table waiting for our friends to join us. "I don't know, Mother won't tell, she said its a surprise" she said smiling. Her mother is the best, I met her once and she treated me like her own daughter. Sometimes I miss my mother whom I haven't met. Dad said she died giving birth to me so we don't talk about her in our home. Its is a painful subject for him. "You are lucky" I chuckled, happy for my friend but somewhere deep inside I felt the emptiness. Her face fell slightly, she hold my hand "I am sorry" she said, I squeezed her hand "No problem Blaire, It doesn't hurt" I lied , she opened her mouth to tell me something when suddenly someone put their hands on my eyes. 

"Guess who" he said, I could detect smile in his voice. I laughed and played along "Carter from second year" I guessed. He scoffed and put his hands away sitting beside me pouting. "Do I look like Carter" he said sulking in his chair. I smiled and pecked him on the lips. "I was joking, I could never forget you" I smiled, he took my hand and laced our fingers together.

"Where are the others?" Blaire asked looking around, "Oh, Are you asking where Kyle is?" I asked smirking, she blushed and looked away. "No, I am asking about Dalton, Peter, Elena and Kyle" she said, her voice sounding like a whisper at end. Everyone knows she has a huge crush on Kyle but that idiot is unaware about it. How come he became my best friend, I don't know. Kyle and I have known each other from when he moved in next to our home in high school. Since then our bonding is strong. Every one thought that we were dating by how much time we spent with each other but my heart belongs to only one person. "They will be here soon" Xavier answered taking the large bite of my sandwich. I scowled at him, he chuckled and finished my whole sandwich. 

"Are you guys ready for the party?" Xavier asked putting his arm on my shoulder. Blaire nodded her head enthusiastically, as much she loves studying, she enjoys the party as well. "My Aunt is coming today evening, I can't go" I shook my head, Blaire and I had this conversation already. 

"What!" Xavier exclaimed beside me, "You are going today's evening? we haven't even spend the time together" he said frowning. I pinched his cheeks "Summer will be over before you know it" I said kissing his lips. 

"PDA" Kyle yelled joining us, he took the seat on my other side, I laughed and Xavier gave him stinky eyes. He always interrupt our moments. 

"Hey" Blaire said shyly looking at Kyle, he smiled towards her making her swoon a little. He is a charmer. "Where were you?" I asked him, he wiggled his eyebrow at me "I was somewhere" he said mysteriously making me scoff at him. He was with some girl, I can tell. 

"Your Aunt is coming today, right" he asked taking my drink away, why does everyone attacked at my food. I snatched my drink away from him "Yes, she is coming" I said taking a sip of it. 

"Good" he said and started talking to Blaire. Sometime Kyle act different making me confuse. That's why I haven't share my weird dreams with him, I never hide anything from him but these dreams seems like he won't understand.

For a month, I am having those same dreams where I see a man or more like his eyes which are dark in color but if you look closely he has golden tint in them. He is in so much pain and he always call for one person only. 

Emerald

I don't know who that Emerald is and who is the golden eyed man but these dreams are making me sleep deprived and anxious. Maybe if I get a chance I will discuss about it with my Aunt. She is very good at giving advice.

 Maybe she can help.

Chase P.O.V

"Where is he?" I snarled glaring at the soldier who was kneeling before me trembling in fear. My canines were on display as well as my claws. My eyes were fully black indicating about my beast being at forefront. I like it that way when he takes control most of the time, only anger emotion more prominent for him and its better this way. I don't want to feel other emotions, they made me weak and I don't like to feel weak or at some one else mercy. It happened once in past when she left me all alone. At that time, only my other form understood my pain, it took care of me when she died. I still remember the time like it was yesterday.

Its been two years since My mate, My Emerald died in the battle leaving me here with my suffering. I tried to forget about her, tried to move on but I couldn't and I know I can never will be. She took my heart with her, now I am just a heartless King who only know how to conquer the other Kingdom and feel the power in his hands.  

"He ran away when we attacked his Kingdom" Soldier said, his voice low and fearful. I smirked, such a coward. "Find him and get him here before Dawn otherwise your head will be on the sticks at the front gate" I said casually liking the tremor that ran in his body with the threat. He quickly nodded his head and shuffle away towards the exit.

My own people fear me so much.

This is better, no one will even think to lay a finger on me and my Kingdom.  

"King Steve is here to meet you" One servant told me entering in the throne room after bowing his head. "Very well, Lead him to my meeting room, I will be there soon" I dismissed him and went to my chamber closing the door behind me in the process. I sighed and walked further into my chamber going towards the very back. I stared at the wall where no light appeared, it looked dark but with my enhanced senses I can see way past the darkness. 

I touched the wall and clenched my jaw surpassing the emotions in me. Her painting stared back at me smiling. Her forest green eyes looked lively but she isn't alive anymore. I gave her painting one last look and turned around to meet her father.

***

"Whatever you are doing is wrong" he said as soon as I entered in the room. Ignoring him, I took a seat on the other side of the table, folding my hands together, looking at him. "Welcome to my Kingdom, King Steve" I greeted him, I never attacked his kingdom only because of one reason otherwise he won't be sitting in front of me like that, glaring at me. 

"You are turning into a monster, Son" he said sighing, I can see worry lines on his face. I like that people think I am a monster. That's a compliment for me.

"Are you here on purpose?" I asked him instead, ignoring his previous statement. His shoulder slacked in defeat and he shook his head "I just wanted to meet you" he answered truthfully. After that day, King Steve visited my Kingdom more often to watch over me but I don't need him or any one to care for me. I am fine on my own.

"I am fine" I said blankly and stood up from my seat "If you are not busy, you can join us for lunch" I offered him, he shook his head. "Thank you but I have somewhere to be" he said standing up and walking towards the door as well with me. I raised my eyebrow in question.

"I have to see my daughter today" he said making me freeze in spot and stare vacantly at front. I can never forget that today is the day she left us forever.

Today is the day, she died.
