Elijah

I suddenly bolted awake in my bed, my tummy churning. My vision clouded. I swallowed a lump that dominated my throat. Sweat poured from my body, I shook frantically, staring with cotton wool eyes around the room. My heart palpitated and my mind was a whizz of suspicion.

Thoughts, nasty thoughts invaded my head, forcing bile to fill my throat. I pulled the sheet off and saw bloodstains, it could only mean one thing…it was Megan’s. I ran to get dressed eager to find out what happened, what I did. Where is Megan?

The Queen. I remembered how she’d cursed me. She admitted she cursed me, ‘To make all men monsters, have them fuck their bitches, killing them if they wished too. I really don’t give a crap,’. What the hell did that mean? What curse? My mind was awash not understanding anything, she added, ‘just me cursing you to torture that little bitch…or better still, kill her’ where her exact words, only for some reason some of the curse lifted with Megan, why?

I had so many questions that required answers.

I had one mission, to find the bitch, the Queen. I had to find out what the Queen made me do.

My heart hammered against my chest wall so hard I was sure it was going to shatter the bones and pour out onto the ground.

I arrived in the dining room where I swung the double doors open and saw the Queen sitting at the helm of the table eating her breakfast.

Her eyes moved to me. I rushed toward her, as she wiped the corners of her mouth with the napkin, and looked so casual, as if nothing was wrong. Her smug face told me she had won.

“Where is she? Where is Megan?” I shrilled.

She turned her head to stare at me. She tilted her head to the side before picking up her drink.

“What have you done? What did you make me do?” I threw the questions at her with an agonising sensation in my tummy. Was she even alive? Did I kill her?

“Why should it concern you, nephew?” she said smugly.

I swear, it took all my strength not to charge at her.

“Just tell me where she is?” I growled. I hated this woman, I hated everything about her, including the hold she had over me. I had no idea what her real motive was, or why she made me into the monster I was. “I will not ask again.” I slammed my hands down on the table and glared at her.

“Oh Elijah, you poor soul,” she scoffed.

“What the fuck does that mean?” I scorned.

“Oh, dear boy.”

She carried on eating her breakfast.

“Stop this bullshit and just answer me,” I raged.

“Oh Elijah, I do hate it when you grow a heart. It’s pathetic. Have you not noticed anything?” She laughed.

“What, what the hell are you talking about?” I huffed in annoyance. The woman was talking in riddles.

“You do know who I am?” she said self-satisfied.

“You’re the Queen, even though I have no idea how as you’re my father’s sister,” I informed her.
