Chapter 29
Janunu
Walking aimlessly down the street, I heard someone call my name. "Nunu!"
So I turned around and saw Tre advancing towards me. Ugh I don't like that brother, he's too much of a mama's boy.
He hugged me with a big smiled, I remained still and didn't hug back. He released me, "Your alive that's good, we need you to help take out the rest of the Alphas." He said.
"Why would I do that?" I asked.
Even though a few weeks ago I wanted to wipe out every Alpha, I realized that it's boring to waste so much time killing one group of people.
I like my killing to be a variety, I get bored fast when I'm not entertained. So killing the Alphas' chief was enough to satisfy my last bit of hunger to kill them.
Tre frowned sadly, he let out a sigh. "They killed mom and almost killed...dad."
My whole body went on kill mode, they went near my dad?! Oh they'll have what's coming for them. I should go after their youngsters and make them shark food.
"Where is he?" I asked, anger was now all that I felt. Dad doesn't need his death sentence being cut short, he still haven't seen me finish developing.
Tre eyes began to tear as he went in to hug me again. What is with this dude and hugs?! I pushed him off of me, mad at the fact that he'd waste my time hugging rather than telling me where my father is.
"Where is he?!" I yelled, fed up with his hesitation to tell me.
"In the hospital, he's in a coma."
Quickly, I turned around and raced to the hospital, ignoring Tre's last words. No one will stop me from seeing my dad.

I rushed in the hospital and slammed my hands on the receptionist desk. She jumped up at seeing my sudden intrusion.
She smiled and before she can say anything, I cut her off. "King Williams"
Her smile frowned a little but she went on to typing on her computer. "He's in room 314"
I left the desk and headed towards the elevator. I hit the number 3 on the buttons and waited impatiently for the elevator to open it's doors again.
Once the doors opened, I got out snd looked in both directions. The first door on my right had 336, too high. The door on my left had 309, just right.
So I went left, reading each room number until i got to 314.
The window blinds to see into the room were closed, and so was the door. My heart was beating fast out of fear and nervousness.
What if he hates me for not coming to him sooner? Will he understand that I had to go murder people? Can he die in a coma?
I twisted the door knob slowly and pushed the door open. The image of the room grew as I opened the door wider.
Eventually the whole room was on display to my eyes. My dad laid on his bed with his eyes closed. His chest was rising up and down slowly, and an annoying beeping sound filled the still room.
Moving in the room, I closed the door and approached my dad. A chair was seated beside him, so I sat on it and held his hand.
How does this coma thing work? Can he feel me touching him? Can he hear me?
"Um...i know it's been like almost a month since I seen you. And honestly, I've made a bad decision going after what I wanted instead of coming to you." I whispered softly.
This emotional stuff is not for me, but when it comes to him this emotional stuff is my thing.
I looked at his face, it's so dead. No color of life, no happiness, no sign of good health. He's dying and those Alphas will have what's coming for them.
As of right now, I can't seem to move. "Dad, please wake up." My voice cracked, and for some reason my cheeks were wet. I'm crying.
"I still need you, you said i had more to learn and more to experience. How can I do that when your not with me? If you die what will i do?" I cried harder, looking directly at his still face.
His eyes opened suddenly, he was surprised upon seeing me then he frowned. He touched my face with his cold hands, "What's wrong, Nu?"
Hold up, is that supposed to happen when you get released from a coma?
"Y-your awake?"
He smiled as he nodded, he dropped his hand from my face and onto his stomach. "I've been sleeping, your crying woke me up."
Sleeping? I thought he was in a coma. "So your not in a coma?"
"Nope, i woke out of it last night." He said.
Comas are weird.
"So then why are you still in here? We should be leaving r-"
I was interrupted by loud coughs, quickly I looked around for water and found a glass of water on his bedside.
I gave it to him and he drank it. Once finished, I took it from him and placed it back to where i found it
"I can't leave, the only thing keeping me alive is this machine. But I don't want to take artificial nutrients and all that other stuff. So that's why, I'm cutting myself off this machine today."
My eyebrows knitted together and my heart picked up the pace again. I shook my head, "No, you can't just leave me."
He smiled, "Nunu, you don't need me. The next chapter of your life is something someone else will teach you."
Someone else?!
"Whose going to teach me? And what are they going to teach me? Dad, I don't need them, I need you."
He let out a sigh and sat up, releasing a couple of coughs. "The person or people aren't here yet, but when they do. You'll know, they'll teach you the things I can't teach you."
So he's leaving me to some stranger?! Heck he doesn't even know them! He's been the only person to fully understand the situation i am in, he's been the first person to accept and love me for me, he's been the only person to protect me from me, and he's the only person that I can vent to about everything and anything.
He's my dad, I can't live without him.
"I'm your crown, you said you'll never abandon your crown." I said. I can feel the tears slipping from my eyes again.
Dad reached out for my hand, he pulled me onto the bed with him. Embracing me in a hug, I laid on his chest sobbing, just as how i used to when I was younger.
He rubbed my back, "A crown is what gives a King or Queen pride. A crown defines their royalty. A crown goes on for generations. A crown is special, it's beautiful, it's everything. You, Janunu, are no longer a crown. Your a Queen in need of a crown and when you get your crown, you'll understand."
I sniffed, "How do I know if I've got my crown?"
"You'll know."
I got up and sat down on the chair and wiped my tears away as the door opened. Unique, Tyrone, Momo, Monique, Jhak, Jaja, Travis, and Tre walked in.
They surrounded dad's bed, all with neutrally frowning faces. Dad patted my shoulder as he looked around with a smile on his face.
"You all are here." He said happily.
Unique touched his feet at the end of the bed, "How could we not be here when you dropped the bomb on us of you wanting to unhook the machine?" She said sadly.
Momo touched Unique's shoulder, while hugging Jaja. Who had tear stains on her cheeks.
"Dad are you sure you want to do this?" Jhak asked.
Dad nodded, "I know you all will do well, your Williams. Now when i turn this machine off, I'll have about an hour before my lights go out. So let's make the best of it."
He looked around the room watching all of our gloomy faces. "Whose going to take care of us? We're going to be orphans." Travis said as he was standing on the other side of dad's bed.
Dad grabbed his hand off of the bed rail and held it. "Your siblings will, they'll raise you to be the young man i know you will be. And Jaja I know they'll raise you to become the young women i know you'll be." He said looking back and forth at the twins.
They nodded sadly as Monique went over to the machine. She let out a sigh, "Ok dad, when your ready just say the word." She said as her hand hovered over a switch.
Dad nodded his head, then Monique switched the switch. Dad turned back to everyone with a big smile, "So whose ready to party?!"
Unique chuckled a little, "Who say's that? Your so corny." Everyone but me let out a small laugh, "Now that's what I'm talking about." Dad said laughing.
~
We all looked down at Dad's resting body, he's dead. A few minutes ago the doctors came in and confirmed his death, then they gave us the room.
"He's finally gone, he's no longer having to deal with our hectic family." Tyrone murmured.
I nodded in agreement, "Where ever he is now, he'll be looking out for us." I said.
"Janunu, a burial for the Royals is taking place tomorrow at Royal's field. Be there at 10, please." Momo said softly.
I hummed as I shook my head no, "I can't."
Everyone faced me with a frown, "Why not?" Monique asked.
"I've got Alphas to kill, it's their fault Dad is dead."
Jhak gave me a stank face, "Who told you that lie? The Alphas had no part in Dad's death."
What? But...
"Tre...why would you lie on the Alphas?" I gritted.
Tre was looking around, his face says it all. He's guilty, I could have started an actual war between the Royals and Alphas.
His lie was what fueled my anger.
