Cosmic: This story will be finished in three chapters, it would have been two but I want to break this chapter up and make it more effective.
Rodie: You guys will kill be in this chapter and the next, but it really tells you guys why Jamie is so dependent of Jaden in modern times. Enjoy :D
The Amber Kingdom and the Amethyst Kingdom were getting along fairly well, so they wanted to keep this good relationship for as long as possible. The only way this could all be possible was if the Amber Kingdom chose Alexis because Atticus was too unsuitable for the marriage to take place.
Alexis wasn't enthusiastic about having to be married at such a young age, but she had no choice because she had to do what was good for her kingdom. The Amethyst Kingdom only chose Zane because his little brother Syrus wasn't charismatic enough, even though he was Alexis' age. Plus Zane had to marry so that he could become king as he was the first born son.
Zane didn't have a say because his parents had already made up their minds, but he didn't really mind as he was also duty bound to his kingdom. Unfortunately the couple didn't realise the full implications of their engagement for all was not well in the Ruby Kingdom.
Jaden realized that he was in love with Alexis when he was told about her and Zane's engagement. He knew that he had some type of feelings for her as they were childhood friends, but he didn't realise that he loved her in that way.
He wasn't happy about the entire situation and his mind was distracted most days, which was bad for his kingdom as it was affecting his ability to rule. However Jaden knew he couldn't act on his feelings, his people came before him and Alexis was already betrothed. To act on his feelings would start a war between the Amber Kingdom, Amethyst Kingdom and the Ruby Kingdom. And besides, his people came before his own selfish desires.
Yubel could sense that Jaden was undergoing his own personal war and she knew that she had to confront him.
"Jaden, I love you. You know that right?" Yubel asked as Jaden drinking a glass of water.
"Mhm-hm," Jaden answered, not really paying attention to her question.
"Jamie as well,"
"Mhm-hm."
"Allure too."
"Mhm-hm,"
Then Yubel smirked, "Alexis loves you too."
"Mhm-" he choked on his water. "What?" He blushed deeply.
Yubel chuckled "My dear Jaden, I can't believe you actually thought I wouldn't notice." She sighed, "What have you gotten yourself into?"
Jaden frowned, "Yubel...I can't control my feelings, they grow everyday! I don't know what to do!"
A familiar voice joined the conversation, "I shall kill anybody who upsets the king." Jamie threatened in a dark tone of voice as she got ready to draw the dagger that she kept sheathed by her side.
"No Jamie! You can't just kill Zane." He ran his hand through his hair. "And besides, they don't love each other."
"How do you know that?" Jamie asked with a confused expression on her face.
A smile graced Yubel's lips "If you must know, my dear, it's a feeling."
Jaden just sighed as a plan formulated in Jamie's head, she would have a little 'talk' with Prince Zane. However something unexpected happened two days later, Zane barged in her bedchambers without knocking. Unfortunately for Zane, Jamie was in the middle of getting dressed and she hadn't put her clothes on yet.
Zane immediately whipped his head to the side as Jamie grabbed the first thing her hand came in contact with (a shoe) and threw it at his head.
"You son of a- get out," she demanded as Zane shut the door shut.
After two minutes or so Jamie pulled him inside her room before anybody could see him.
"Well my prince, I just have one question for you. What. The. Hell!" She roared as Zane rolled his eyes.
"I...this is the wrong room." He lied as Jamie crossed her arms across her chest.
"Well this is the-"
"Alright I lied; I was actually looking for you." He sighed.
Jamie rose her one brow at him "What brings you here?"
Zane looked her in the eyes, staring at her orbs intensely which made Jamie shiver under his piercing gaze. "Don't you have something to say?"
"About what..." Jamie was a bit weary as she was treading around unfamiliar territory.
"About Princess Alexis and I-"
Jamie cut him off, "I do and just so you know, I'll destroy any and everything that makes my king angry or sad." She unsheathed the dagger she kept by her side and pointed it at Zane.
Zane stared her in shock, trying to comprehend the meaning behind her words. And then it hit him. "You're going to kill me because Jaden's in love with Alexis?!"
"A king needs his mind free from all distractions, as long as you're with Princess Alexis then he'll never be able to properly rule. But if the engagement is cancelled, then Princess Alexis will be free and my king will be able to focus on his people again." Jamie explained as she closed the gap between them.
As she raised her blade, Zane grabbed her wrists in an attempt to stop her, but used her right leg to kick Zane's legs out from under him and pinned him to the floor.
However just as Jamie lifted her dagger in the air, Zane managed to blurt out, "But...Alexis is in love with him too!"
"What!" Jamie exclaimed as she stopped a few inches above his chest. Zane took this as an opportunity to sit up and push Jamie off of him.
"I'm going to see Jaden!" And with that he left, leaving Jamie alone with her thoughts.
She smiled to herself, "Jaden you lucky guy..."
If Prince Zane broke off the engagement with Princess Alexis, Jaden would be able to marry her and have his happily ever after. Then she thought of Zane and her smile became a sad smile.
It was a very cliché scene when Alexis and Jaden admitted their love for each other. It would have gone faster if Jesse didn't interrupt them several times, in the end he had to be knocked out by Jamie.
The Amber Kingdom and the Amethyst Kingdom had no choice but to break the engagement immediately, and Jaden and Alexis were soon betrothed. But not every story has a happy ending, the Forbidden Kingdom were not pleased with how the things were turning out. They formed an alliance with the Onyx Kingdom and started 'The Revolution'.
Basically their plan was to eradicate all the people in the Onyx Kingdom before moving onto the royal family when there would be no one left to protect them. The Monster Realm was shaken with the deaths of all the humans. Only the monsters and royal family remained in the Onyx Kingdom, making it literally Hell on Earth.
Prince Chazz and Princess Samantha had no choice but to escape to the Ruby Kingdom before they were murdered by the Forbidden Kingdom, just like their parents. They told Jamie about everything the Forbidden Kingdom and Onyx Kingdom were planning, and how they were planning on moving onto the other kingdoms.
Jamie wanted them to keep their mouths shut so that she could put her plan into action. It was an obvious lie, but she knew that once all of the kingdoms' successors were together, they would be able to think of something. Little did they know, the second stage of their plan had started: to destroy all members of the royal family in every kingdom.
Chazz and Sam didn't know this stage of the plan because they escaped as soon as they could. Jaden was trying to contain the situation, but most of the royal family were falling ill. When the deaths started, the third stage of the plan took place: the Cursed Princess.
The entire realm was shaken once the rumours had started; the Cursed Princess was getting revenge from being out casted by the entire realm. All of the monsters were terrified because rumour had it; the Cursed Princess had the power to restart the entire war by killing them all.
Yubel and Allure knew what was coming next, so they spread a message to the remaining kingdoms, saying they should join forces to vanquish their common enemy. All the remaining successors had gathered into the Ruby Kingdom and were rapidly trying to come up with a solution to this problem. Jamie realised the full implications of the Cursed Princess rumour, and that's how she saw her own ending.
The monsters knew of Jamie's curse and they realised that by killing King Jaden, the Cursed Princess would be greatly weakened as without Jaden, she would lose the will to live because they were siblings. Plus considering the Cursed Princess was clinging to him, his own downfall was already plotted.
King Jaden was confused with what was currently taking place. Roaring monsters were screaming his name, demanding his death. Several were slamming into the castle wall, shaking it down to its foundations.
What did I do wrong? He thought as somebody hugged from behind.
Jaden turned around and realised it was Jamie.
"This revolt should be ending soon." Jaden sighed in relief as Jamie smiled at him sadly.
"Jay...this is not a simple revolt." Her face suddenly became serious, "This is a revolution."
Jaden's face blanched, "what...?"
"I'm sorry Jay, I should have told this earlier. Thanks to the Forbidden Kingdom, the entire realm is on the brink of destruction."
She shoved him a bundle of clothes. "Wear these; we're twins so they won't be able to figure out. You'll be able to spend the rest of your life with Alexis and the rest of our friends."
Jaden then realised the clothes she was wearing, they were his! His eyes grew wide as his voice got stuck in his throat, he wanted to stop her but he couldn't speak.
"Jay..."She hugged him as she pushed him. "Yubel and the others are waiting for you at the end of the hall." Then she shoved him behind her as she cut her hair with her knife .Jaden tried to run after her when something held him back.
"Forgive me my dear." She said, her voice trying not to break.
"Yubel," Jaden stuttered as Yubel dragged him down the Hall.
"We have to go."
When Jaden reached the end of the hall, he expected to meet all of his friends, but...Zane wasn't there.
