❤️ THE WITCH QUEEN ❤️
Amaya smiled at those words and didn’t argue. She was glad she didn’t give up on what she has been fighting for. At long last Dark has finally acknowledged her feelings towards him.
“Then let me go and write that letter you want to send to Raziah.” Amaya said, going to a sitting position on the bed.
“That can be sent later Amaya,” Dark began but got Interrupted by Amaya who placed one of her fingers on his lips.
“No Dark, that can’t wait, I don’t want to forget any word,” Amaya said leaving the bed, going to the wardrobe and took one of Dark’s shirts and wore it. “I hope you don’t mind.” she pointed at the shirt and blew him a kiss and then left the room before he could answer.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes.

Amaya was happy and didn’t fail to hide it on her face, passing the demons littering around the castle and not even giving any of them a glance, she hummed. Finally, she will get what she wants. She went to her room and brought out a retro yellowish blank scroll and quill and sat down on her bed and began to write down on the scroll.
Once she was done, she rolled it up, her smile wider than before. She left her bed and twirls around in circles in happiness.
“Are you buying all these things he is doing to you?” the unknown woman’s voice was heard and that stopped her from her happy dancing.
“When did you come?” Amaya asked as she regained her composure.
“Oh, you don’t want to know, sweetheart.”
“Have you been here the whole time? How long have you been here?” Amaya asked again.
“Right when you walked inside the room.” the woman answered. “But we shouldn’t leave what I said hanging. Do you buy what he is doing? I mean this is Dark we are talking about.” She added.
“Exactly, this is Dark and as far as I know him, far back as a child, he is not an open person neither does he pretend. He is not pretending if that is what you are thinking.” Amaya told her.
“Dark of before wouldn’t have jumped in bed with you, you should know that more than me.”
“And you have also forgotten that he was gravely Injured back and that the witch magic did that. Look, I know what I am doing and believe me Dark is still himself, I would know if he is pretending.”
“And what makes you think he isn’t pretending right now?”
“Dark sucks in pretending. I know him better than you do and that’s because I have stayed with him longer than you have so don’t put some allegations on Dark.” Amaya warned.
“Very well Amaya, you know him better than me that much so I will zip up my mouth.” the unknown woman told her sarcastically.
Amaya crossed her arms across her bre. ast and looked at the woman with an arrogant look which screams ‘I know more than you so shut up.’
“And please, stop coming here. I know where to find you or how to call you if I need you. You need to stop coming here so that I won’t be acting suspicious and that will bring Dark’s attention on me which I don’t want. I mean I want his attention on me but not that suspicious attention, you know what I mean.”
“I know what you mean Amaya and I am sorry if popping in and out like I please is disturbing your paradise life you already have.”
“Don’t mock me.” Amaya said darkly, her voice changing slightly.
“Arguing with you is pointless Amaya.” the unknown woman chuckled and was gone with the next second.
Amaya sighed and left the room and gave the scroll to a demon with the instructions of leaving the castle at dusk to the Werewolf Kingdom.
“You must make sure you give the girl ruling the kingdom.” Amaya instructed further and went back to Dark’s room.
Dark was already asleep when she entered his room and she didn’t want to wake him up, so she went and lay beside him and was surprised when she felt his hands on her waist, bringing her much closer to him.
“I thought you were sleeping.” Amaya said, her lips stretching out little by little.
“No, I was waiting for you.” Dark said, his eyes were still closed. “Have you sent it?” he asked.
“Not yet, I gave it to one of our fastest demons with the instructions to give the letter to Raziah herself.” Amaya told him. “I don’t want to go by myself if you are not with me, that’s why I gave it to the demon to go on my behalf.” She added a second later.
“That’s good, once I am rested enough, I will go and see my demons.” Dark said, kissing the top of Amaya.
Amaya smiled at that gesture and then closed her eyes, sleeping off.

Witch Kingdom:
Raziah arrived at the kingdom of the witches but was surprised when the guards, both male and female, guarding the gate that leads into the Witch Kingdom didn’t put up a fight with her. Instead, they opened the gate wide for her and made her pass.
Surprised by their attitude, she set forth to the palace of the Witch, passing through the villages before reaching the castle gate, entering the palace courtyard. The guards treated her like the first ones from the first gate. Did something happen?
Raziah thought as she told one of the guards to call their Queen.
This could mean only two things. Either the Witch Queen had heard about her going about to each kingdom demanding for their kingdoms or she had heard about what Dark had done to her so they don’t find her intimidating anymore.
Her hands clenched at that thought. Dark has mire her name. She took a very deep breath to calm down herself.
“Raziah?” The Witch Queen voice was heard which brought Raziah back to reality.
“Yes, that’s me. Why are your guards not putting up a fight when a wolf enters your territory?” Raziah asked. She had hoped they would fight with her because she yearns for a fight but with this attitude of theirs, that won’t be happening at any moment or even today. Raziah could see that the Witch Queen was beautiful, her black her was covering one of her eyes as her other eye, black as night, stare up at her
“That’s because I already know of your visit Raziah so I passed them the information not to engage you in a fight like the other three Kingdoms did. I don’t want to lose any of my warriors to a fight that can be avoided.” the Witch Queen answered.
“Then you know why I am here?” Raziah asked.
“Should I pretend as if I don’t know why you are here?” the Witch Queen said. “I will gladly accept your offer to make my kingdom yours.”
“I am not here for that,” Raziah said, surprising the Witch Queen who became surprised.
“But I thought you came for… my visions never lie.”
“Then you shouldn’t trust them often. Don’t rely too much on your visions or magic, most times it doesn’t work.” Raziah told her.
“Then why are you here?”
“A war is coming and I will be needing your armies to join mine to defeat my opponent.”
“Who could your opponent be?” the Witch Queen asked. She hasn’t heard of any King or Queen recently saying they want to go to war against the wolves, against Raziah. So she wondered who the unfortunate kingdom might be.
“Dark and his demons. I know you might find it a little hard to believe that he is coming but he is coming back so this time around I need to be prepared.” Raziah told her. “But if you don’t agree then you will leave me no choice than to-”
Raziah got Interrupted by the Witch Queen.
“Dark? That wretched demon from hell. I’m in.”
“Yes that Dark. Do you know him? Have you heard what he did recently?” Raziah asked wanting to know if the witch had heard what Dark did to her.
“No, besides I don’t believe in rumors.” The Witch Queen said. “I will help as long as you will promise me that you will put an end to Dark, I will give you my armies as you want.” She added, putting so much hatred in the name ‘Dark’ that it didn’t escape Raziah’s ears.
“I can see you hate him, right?” Raziah said after an observation.
“Yes, I hate the man called Dark with every fiber of my being.” The Queen agreed without beating around the bush.
“What did Dark do to you?” Raziah asked, hoping it wasn’t what Dark did to her too.
Removing the hair covering her other eye. “Do you see this?”
Raziah’s eyes widened. The Queen doesn’t have an eye. Now she knows why the Queen had used her hair to cover her other eye.
“He did this to me.” the Witch Queen continued as she let go of her hair which covered her no eye. “He took out my eyes.”
“Dark did that?” Raziah asked. Why does Dark go about damaging the faces of beautiful ladies? First it was Elena and now this one.
“Yes, that demon did that to me. He removed my eye as a punishment for not doing as he says.”
“What did he ask you to do?”
“It’s a long story which I want to forget Raziah,” The Witch Queen said to her and smiled at her. “Any enemy of Dark, is my friend. I will help you.”
