“Liam…it’s okay we need to keep her in the coffin” A teacher said.

Liam kissed her head and then laid her back down. He looked at her face for long till he couldn’t take it longer, he vanished away…

He appeared at a cliff top and looked down at the sea, the wind blew on his hair disheveling it. Right now, he was the saddest man on earth.

He has thought of various ways to cure her but nothing was found. How will he transform her to a vampire when he’s a demon and beside if hr wanted to turn her to a demon it will involve a long and painful procedure.

“Sh*t! Thay hurts so bad!” Liam said as a drop of tear fell from his eyes and dropped in the sea…

He turned and went back. Upon getting there, he saw that Kadence was already placed inside a transparent coffin and her dress was changed to a white one.

Emma was sitting beside her coffin, she just couldn’t control her tears. Deep down she was angry and broken…angry that Kadence never told her she had such a curse upon her but broken when she thinks she’ll never see Kadence’s smile again.

Liam stood from afar, watching them. Tears dropped from his eyes as he watched Kadence.

Memories they’ve made at the house kept resurfacing in his mind. Her hugs, kisses, smiles, laughter..he misses them all. Right now he just feel like dying too..

Sophia walked and hugged Liam, rubbing his back. Her eyes were red and swollen it was obvious that she cried a lot too.

“It’ll be okay Liam.” Sophia said and forced a smile.

“Not it won’t” He whispered.

Connor went and helped Emma up….

“C’mon we gotta stay strong for Kadence. Let’s go and prepare for Kaitlyn’s coronation” Connor said and walked out with Emma.

“The L.O.M says that she’ll be buried tomorrow” Eric said walking in with a sad and heartbroken look on his face.

Liam turned and looked at him. If looks could ki*ll, then Eric could have been buried by now. Eric simply looked down in guilt.

Liam turned and walked away…

“He’s really mad at you” Sophia said and Eric simply sighed.

Palace, 09:13am**

“We’re all gathered here for the coronation of our beloved princess. Today is sure going to be a grand day” The MC said.

The supernatural were all walking in the palace, dressed prettily and handsomely. They were just so happy for the coronation.

“Eric,my son!” Eric’s mother exclaimed and hugged him.

“Mom, how are you doing?” Eric forced a smile on his lips. He was dressed in a black suit, looking more handsome.

“I’m good” She pinched his cheek.

“Aunt…uncle” Lisa said and hugged Eric’s father. Romeo stood behind watching them. They broke hug and Lisa went to hold Romeo’s hand

“Aunt…uncle…meet Romeo, my boyfriend” Lisa said and hugged his arm.

“Omg…he’s so handsome” Eric’s mom said checking Romeo out.

“What of you Eric? Are you planning of becoming a bachelor?” Eric’s dad said.

Eric sighed and walked away before his parents will start teasing him.

Liam was standing at one corner, dressed in a simple dress yet he still gained a lot of attention especially from the ladies.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Kaitlyn is a friend of his, then he wouldn’t have come here.

While the guests were all arriving, Kaitlyn was in her room as they did her makeup. She was wearing the Queen’s dress, looking so pretty in it but yet worry marred her face.

While the others were busy partying and enjoying themselves. Something was happening downstairs…

~~~
“Where I’m I?” Kadence muttered in confusion.

Suddenly the lights came up and she saw around hundred of people lined up in front of her on both side.

A lady was sitting on a throne with her head down, she had long silvers hairs. The lady looked up at Kadence.

She stood up and slowly walked to her passing the people who bowed at her. Her feet stopped walking as she stopped right infront of Kadence.

“My baby…” Tears gathered in her eyes.

Kadence stared dumbfounded at her. It looks like she’s seen her somewhere.

Her eyes widened when she realized where she saw her. It was at the palace where a picture of her was placed on the wall. She was the queen of the supernatural, the goddess…

One thing doesn’t seem right, why is she calling her baby?

“Who are you?” Kadence muttered, looking at her.

She cupped Kadence’s cheek, Kadence suddenly felt a warmness coming from them.

“You’ll understand after this” She said and kissed her forehead.

Images suddenly began flashing through her eyes. She could she a baby…a baby. She saw how the Queen exchanged the baby with Kaitlyn.

Martha took the baby and kept it at the door step of a house. A man opened the door and saw the baby, he took her in an raised her.

“I’ll name you Kadence” The man said.

The images stopped and Kadence blinked back. So this is it? She’s that baby…

“You’re my…”

“Mother, yes I’m your mother. I’m sorry I abandoned you, it was to protect you. I’m so sorry Maribella” The Queen cried

“Maribella?” Kadence wondered and she nodded.

“Yes, that’s your name.” She sniffed.

Kadence spaced out completely. So she got swapped with Kaitlyn..Wait how did she got here?

“I had to seal your power from manifesting till you turn 19 because Rhys would have killed you if I didn’t. Thanks to your mate, he trained you to become a strong woman…a strong leader” The Queen held her hand.

“My mate?” Kadence kept asking questions. She was just dumbfounded.

“Yeah, Liam is your mate. You two are destined to be together, you are the only ones who can end this enmity between the two camps. You two are the ones to mend what was broken” The Queen said.

Kadence was even more than confused…

She looked at the Queen and hugged her tightly.

“I forgive you mother, it isn’t your fault you had to do what you did in order to save me. I promise I’ll make you proud” Kadence smiled.

“Thank you Bella, I think it’s time for you to go” The Queen smiled. They broke the hug and she kissed her forehead again.

The light began emanating from Kadence body. Her whole body began glowing…

“Ahh!!!” She groaned as her heart began aching really bad. It was so painful that she knelt down.

She looked up at the Queen who smiled at her.

“I’ll always be with you Maribella” She smiled.

“Ahh!!!!!”
~~~

Kadence’s eyes flew opened and immediately the glass coffin shattered into pieces.

She sat up and looked at herself, her body began regaining it’s color going back to normal.

Something suddenly rang in her head…

“I have to get to that coronation” Kadence thought and stood up then rushed to the door. Unfortunately the door was locked.

She took one step behind and then lifted her hands to the door. It broke to pieces..

“Wow” She muttered, looking at her hands

Kadence then ran out of the room, luckily she was in the palace. She continued running, searching for the main hall… People were staring at her since she was barefooted but she didn’t care…

“The moment we’ve been long awaiting has finally come. The day our beloved princess kaitlyn will take the throne and save us from the malicious king Rhys” A priest said.

A guard walked in with the crown placed on a red cushion. He walked to the them and knelt down presenting the throne to the priest.

Kaitlyn was so stressed out that Eric couldn’t help but notice it…

“Princess Kaitlyn with the crown that I place on your head, I hand you our life, our future may you be wise just like your mother” The priest smiled and brought the crown Kaitlyn’s head.

Kaitlyn stared at the crown with her heard beating faster the more the crown gets closer to her head.

“No, I can’t” Kaitlyn looked down.

The crowd gasped and began murmuring to themselves.

“I can’t accept the throne. I’m…I’m not the real princess” She muttered and the whole crowd gasped in shock.

The door suddenly swung open and all the heads turned to the entrance. The crowd were all staring at the person who was standing there in disgust

“Look at her clothes…so cheap”

“Has she lost her mind? Coming to such an important occasion barefooted. She must be mentally deranged”

They were all making comments except people of Diamond High. Their eyes won’t stop bulging out in shock. Liam was the most shocked of them all….

“Kitty”

Kadence looked front, completely unfazed with the look she was receiving. She walked and reached where Kaitlyn was standing.

“I’m sorry Kat” She whispered to Kaitlyn who was looking at her like she’s the ghost.

She turned to the crowd and gave the bold look.

“Kaitlyn isn’t the princess…I am” She said loudly.

The crowd looked at her and began mocking her. How will a crowned princess look like that.

“Crowned princess you say?” A man stood and said.

Kadence looked at him with very fierce look. So much that he quietly sat down

“Silence!!” Kadence yelled and the crowd stopped talking. There was a kind of aura emanating from her that invoke respect.

“Our kind is at the verge of extinction and all what you have to do is sit here opening your stinky fangs to mock? There’s really no difference between you and the demons and vampires you claim are cruel. Don’t you get it? What we need in order to win is solidarity but I’m seeing none of it in each and every one of you here….that alone breaks my heart.” Kadence said lookin at each and everyone of them in the eyes.

“I don’t need you to respect me or bow down to me. All i ask of you is to be united…united we stand, divided we fall” Kadence said.

Kaitlyn smiled, even if she’s not the princess at least she’s happy to have Kadence rule her for she’ll make a great leader more than she’ll ever be.

Kaitlyn took the crown from the priest and faced Kadence. She placed the crown on Kadence’s hair.

Her body began glowing and her hair slowly changed to silver plus her dress changed too.

The crowd kept gasping, so she wasn’t lying. Right now she looked so much like the former Queen.

“Ladies and gentlemen, your new queen. Queen Maribella” Kaitlyn said and was the first to clap.

The students of Diamond High began clapping followed by the rest. So Kadence was the princess all along and they never…

Kadence or should we say Maribella smiled and curtsied. The crowd all bowed in respect.

“I’m positive that together we’ll win this war” Kadence concluded.

“Kitty…” Liam smiled out tears

Kadence’s eyes locked with his hand she froze. She missed him so much, more than she could imagine.

“Baby!!” Kadence whispered and rushed downstairs then ran to him.

Liam stretched his arm and she ran to his embrace burrying her face in his chest.

“You have no idea how much I missed you” Liam cleaned his tears

Kadence helped him cleaned them..

“I’m never leaving you again” Kadence smiled.

“Just kiss me already” Liam whispered.

She chuckled and pressed her lips on his. The crowd clapped and cheered even more…
