Candela

Hearing loud noise from her surrounding, Candela opened her eyes -feeling weak, feeling the weighed of her own body. Bright light blinded her as she slowly opening her eyes, bright that made her see nothing for a couple of seconds. But when she finally see her surrounding, her jaw dropped. Her heart started to pound against her chest as she how the green grasses were now covered by blood. Bloods coming from those slayed werewolves, from those vampires who are already wounded, lying on the ground almost lifeless.

There are fire everywhere she look at. The palace… the palace that once become her prison cell was now halfly covered by fire. She heard everyone’s deafening outcries, horrible howls coming from those werewolves who are fighting some vampires. Vampires that are wearing different cape from the rest. When her eyes focused on the sign weaved on their cape, it shows the North Territory’s mark.

Candela felt sudden enlivened when she saw it. A stretch of wide smile appeared on her lips despite of the horrific scene in front of her.

“They came…” she uttered breathless. “They came to save me… they are here,” she added while tears atarted to rolled down from her eyes. It was then followed by her continuous sniffs but immediately cut when she heard earsplitting clashing of sword just behind her.

Thinking that there are fights near her, Candela immediately turned around. As she saw what is exactly happening behind her, Candela’s body consumed by intense weakness. It sends quakes on her knees making her stumbled on the ground as her eyes focus on the vampire she’s been longing for.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Blade…” she mumbled. Seems like Blade heard her called his name, he looked at her with his widened eyes. Candela saw him mouthed something but unfortunately stopped as the werewolf in front of him attacked him again.

Candela recognized that werewolf. Despite of his current state-clothes worn out, blood covered almost half of his body and face-it was Lucas whom Blade fighting is.

“Rabbit… run now!” Blade shouted at her while struggling to protect himself from Lucas’ attack using his bloody sword.

Candela shook her head. “No! I will not leave you. I will not leave without you, Blade!” she shouted back.

She tried to stood up despite of her weak knees but when Blade shouted, warning her about an enemy behind her, Candela stumbled hard on the ground again. She saw what Blade’s talking to. I was a knight with his sword pointing at her. He then attacked her and fortunately, she avoided his sword. She rolled until she got the chance to stand up and get a weapon to defend herself. Grabbing a sword from one of those slayed werewolves, she fight back. Defending herself with all her might just like what Blade currently doing.

Everywhere she looked, everywhere she go… fights are everywhere. A war that caused a total bloodshed.

After killing the knight who tried to kill her, Candela then run back to where Blade and Lucas is. But her body went rigid, her foot nailed on the ground as she Blade’s current situation. He was lying on the ground, with bloods coming out from his feet and right chest. It sent her back to her childhood days.

She, watching how her mother-Coraline-lost her life as her own mother stabbed her.

She, an innocent and weak child who can’t do anything to saved her mother before.

She felt so weak. She felt so useless but as if a cue, waking her up… Candela attacked Lucas from behind when he tried to end her mate’s life.

Lucas kneeled on the ground, with his back facing her. He tried to stood up again but Blade didn’t let him. Blade forcefully thrusted his sword right through Lucas heart and then pulling it out. Lucas spee blood before his body totally fell on the ground, lifeless.

“Blade!” Candela abruptly joined Blade to help him stood up. Blade winced in pain as he tried hard to move. “Let’s get out of here,” she said, guiding Blade to the horse near them.

But on their way to the horse, Candela’s outcries filled the whole scene. A long arrow came from behind struck her right through her chest where her heart located.

When Blade looked back, it was Amari who shoot her own daughter. With tears falling down on her eyes, but with an evil smile plastered on her lips.

“If I can not use you for my own convenience then you must die instead, Candela,” she said followed by an evil laugh.

Blade look at Amari in disbelief. Hatred reigns him, he’s boiling in anger and was about to attack her back when Candela’s body fell down on the ground, weakly. He immediately joined her on the ground, settling her heead on his laps as he forced her to open her half-close eyes.

“Rabbit… Rabbit, wake up…” His voice is shaking as well as his hand as he consecutively patting her cheeks. “Come on, Rabbit… open your eyes,” he begged, tears fell down on his eyes as he saw her spew blood.

“B–blade…” Candela weakly breath, trying to touch his face but her hands too are too weak to create a movement.

Blade grabbed her hand, bringing it to his lips and put kisses on its back. “Come on, Rabbit… hold on. Just hold little longer, I will save you. You and our child… pleas–”

“B–blade…” she cuts his words in midway. “Y–you don’t n–need t–to…” she added, spewing blood again.

Her wounds continued to bleed even though Blade tried to stop it.

“Promise me… p–promise me t–that y–you will be happy…” She smiled at him but unlike those smiles of her that gives him happiness, her smile now gives him a drowning feeling.

“Don’t talk like that, Rabbit… you are making me nervous…” Blade replied, trying to carry Candela’s body.

“Blade… It hurts…”

“Just hold on tight on me, Rabbit… we’re heading North now–”

“I c–can’t hold on any longer, B–blade… I am tired… I wanted to close my eyes a–already…”

“No! No! No, Rabbit!” Blade’s shoulder are shaking as he kneeled on ground again with Candela on his arms. “Don’t leave me yet, Rabbit… please don’t…” he begged but Candela already closed her eyes.

“R–Rabbit? Hey! Rabbit open your goddamn eyes! Open it! Rabbit!” he shouted while shaking her body but he didn’t get any answer from her anymore.

In the middle of the battle, against the werewolf and vampire… many have died. It creates bloodshed just like what happened before in the past.

In the middle of the war, refueled by her own mother, Candela and her unborn child died.
