Death. The one word that everybody fears. The only thing that ends everything but in Leyla's case, it's another life.
It all started when Julian betrayed Leyla and even pushed her off a yacht, trying to drown her and kill her. It was at that time t...

"Hurry up, idiot! We don't have time for this. I don't want to deal with those half fishes!" yelled Queen Marian as she stepped inside the carriage. She glared at the butler as he was placing the suitcases inside of the carriage. The queen glanced at me and pointed her finger at me and said, "You! Whatever your name is. Go fetch my mirror from my chamber. Go!" You could have asked nicely.
The queen wasn't acting like herself lately. It was as if somebody's out to get her. She would frequently lock herself inside her chambers and talk to herself. The maids walking pass her chambers would often hear her talking and engaging a conversation with someone. Some speculated that she was talking to her husband's ghost.
I remembered when I first saw her giving some maids and staffs of the castle some kind of candy. It looks like candy to me. She gave them bags of candies. The maids and staffs looked like they couldn't wait. It was as if their lives depended on it. I'm not certain if it was really candy. It appears to be sugarbut it has this appeal to it that is unable to resist. I overheard the staffs call it the Red Pleasure.
One of them told me how it felt when she ate it. It was like a whole new world opened up right in front of her eyes. She feels this feeling of joy and nothing else mattered. She felt like she was high up the sky. She craved for it every single day ever since she first tasted it. I didn't understood what she meant by that. J wanted a taste of it but the queen seems to be hesitant whenever I ask her if I could have it.
I arrived in front of the door to the queen's chamber. I felt this unsettling feeling as my palm got a grasp on the doorknob. I felt a presence inside of the room. I dismissed it and reminded myself that the queen might get even more irritated with me if I don't hurry up. I twisted the door open to find the room with no illumination.
The aura was cold as ice. I felt sick to my stomach as I smelled an unpleasant smell of what seemed to be metal. It's still here. The scent of blood. Didn't they already took care of this? Why does the scent remain? I felt like vomiting right now. I still remembered that day. The king's death. It gave me many sleepless nights.
Every since that day, we remained loyal to the queen and didn't a lot any of her wrong doings for it isn't her fault. The loss of a lover has devastating results. It didn't matter that anybody gets hurt. We remained loyal to our ruler and therefore we should obey and understand every command she says.
I walked towards the vanity to find the mirror just laying there. I felt a shiver running down my spine as my hand touched the mirror. I feel like I'm being watched. Like someone's in the room with me. I walked outside of the room with the mirror in my hand and went back to outside where the queen was.
