Naveah wasn't sure what to do. Valentina had walked away after dropping that bomb shell on her. How could she have been so blind? "I should've known..." She muttered to herself. She stood up from the table and quietly grabbed her things, before slipping out the door.

She thought it was odd Valentina had no intention of stopping her from leaving. It's not like she said 'you can't leave' or took an precautions to prevent her from doing so. Naveah reached the Garden of Zen and attempted to pass into her own realm again.

However, it didn't go as planned and it felt like she was walking into an invisible wall. She put her hand forward and pushed, she saw the light reflecting off a clear surface. It was a forcefield preventing her from passing through. She looked over and watched someone pass through with no difficulty. It appeared Valentina had created a forefield strictly to keep her here.

"Of course it wouldn't be that easy." Naveah said staring at the forefield.

"I can't believe you really thought it would be." Valentina said from behind her. Naveah turned around to face her.

"You followed me?" She asked, and Valentina rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I wanted to see if you were gonna be that stupid, you were. I can't believe you really thought you could escape me. Now, come back to the castle, you aren't going anywhere." Valentina said, and Naveah shook her head.

"No, I don't think I will. Go fuck yourself." Naveah said crossing her arms over her chest. Valentina thought for a moment before replying.

"I'd rather fuck you though." Valentina said seductively running a hand through her dark black satin hair.

"Really? You think that's what I want to do right now?" Naveah asked, and Valentina shrugged.

"Worth a shot, have fun then. I'll see you when you come back." Valentina said, and walked back to the castle. She knew deep down what she was doing was wrong, yet she felt like she had to.

But did she? The thoughts lingered in her mind, but she was interrupted. "Valentina?" Her sister said from behind her, she nearly jumped out of her skin.

"Yes?" Valentina asked turning around, seeing her sister.

"What are you doing?" Leilani asked, and Valentina shrugged sitting down on the edge of her bed.

"Just thinking, you know?" Valentina replied, and Leilani sat next to her.

"About what?" She asked, and Valentina sighed.

"Are you sure what I'm doing is a good thing? Like I don't know if I want to go through with it. I really do like her a lot, I feel like I don't actually need to force this. It could just happen if I gave it time." Valentina said, and Leilani glared.

"We have been over this, we can't take that risk. Stop thinking with your heart and use your head." Leilani said, then stomped out. Valentina sighed and waited for Naveah to come home. Maybe she could prove Leilani wrong.

Naveah did in fact come back and she laid next to Valentina in bed. "Just so you know I only came back because I literally have no where else to go." She said annoyed.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to force you. It's just my sister keeps pushing it. I really do love you, but she's worried you'll leave me." Valentina replied gently and Naveah glared.

"Kidnapping me and threatening to kill me is not exactly the way to make me want to stay. Why didn't you just chill and let it happen?" Naveah asked and Valentina sighed.

"I wanted to but she pushed it saying I needed the marriage to happen as soon as possible." Valentina said, and Naveah shook her head.

"Some leader you are, taking orders from other people." Naveah said then rolled over and covered herself with the soft fluffy comforter.

Valentina didn't reply, she knew Naveah was right. She laid down and decided to sleep on it, maybe she could do this her way. Maybe it was time for her to take charge.

Leilani had been eavesdropping on this entire conversation from the other side of the door. She waited a few hours then took a spell book into Valentina's room. She whispered a spell over Valentina and watched her heart float out of her body and land in her hand.

She placed the heart in a box and sealed it with a padlock. Leilani then opened a portal and slipped through. She was in the fairytale realm inside a castle.

Leilani looked around for a good hiding spot, and then placed the box on a bookshelf. It seemed to be the perfect place, like it was meant to be there. She heard voices coming from the other room and out of curiosity peaked into what appeared to be the throne room.

"I'll kill her if she tries! The throne is mine! I will be Queen, no one else will take it away," a blonde girl shouted at the old King of the realm. She was angry and she burst into flames and blood rolled out of her eyes.

She then calmed herself before speaking again, Leilani watched from behind the curtain terrified. "If she wants to be Queen, she'll have to face the Badlands, as she heads for the Castle, my Castle." The girl walked out of the room clearly having some diabolical plan in mind.

The King then spoke aloud to himself "A book for those who seek to find, a way to leave their world behind."

"Who is he talking to?" Leilani whispered to herself confused.

"Who are you talking to?" The King said then looked behind him straight at her. "It appears we both talk to ourselves doesn't it?"

"Um yeah sorry," she turned to leave but he stopped her.

"I know who you are and why you are here. What you have done is an awful thing, know in the future when you are given a second chance to make it right. Take it, you won't get another." He said, and Leilani nodded.

"Um ok thanks." She thought he was crazy, most people did. Then again she didn't know he really was the all knowing. She left through a portal back to her realm, and the thought lingered in her mind.

Did he really know? Who was that king really? Was there another story only a realm away in that Castle to be told?

She sighed and pushed the thoughts from her mind. Leilani had enough for today and went to bed. Valentina would loose ability to have any emotions at all, she'd be the perfect evil queen.
