Chapter 47: Chapter 47

Marietta P.O.V

'Death. What is it? Why it come and take away our loved ones from us? Death is like a brother of sleep. A restful and peaceful sleep - the sleep of forever.'

"How is Brett?" Daddy asked Mom who just came and sat beside him.

"The doctor gave him anesthesia. He is sleeping." Mom sighed and added, "At least for now."

"We will find out whoever did this." Daddy said to all of us. We all were sitting in the hall. My mind was numb at that moment. I did not want to think anything either.

"Everything happened so quickly that it feels so unrealistic," Caro commented.

"Anna was an important part of our family. We will do what we can and the least is to find out that Bastard." Daddy growled angrily. "But first we should double all security." He added.

I bit my humorless chuckle.

"I talked with all the guards, you don't worry about it, Uncle." Liam entered the hall and sat beside Caro.

"CCTV of that part of the yacht is disappeared," Liam said with a frown.

Here my control ended. I sucked a sharp breath in. I couldn't bear it anymore. I should leave before I say or do something I would regret later.

"I want to go to my room. Can I?" I stood up and asked loudly, trying to sound polite instead of furious.

"Sure... You should rest a bit." Mom smiled and nodded at me. I nodded back and headed upstairs.

They always did this same thing. Sat here and discussed it like a hot gossip topic and then, at last, ended up doubling the security. What was the use of all that? They never succeeded in protecting anyone nor they would. Because that blue-eyed guy was always one step ahead of us. He always knew everything. It was so serious and dangerous, they had no idea!

I entered my room and saw a hallucination of Anna coming out of my closet and passed a beautiful smile at me. Before I could reach her she vanished in the air. I felt the ball of tears in my throat grew hard and now uncontrollable.

I locked the door and leaned with it. I let the warm tears scrolled down my cheeks. I cried silently. When the heaviness of my heart didn't decrease, I did a stupid thing that was so foolish of me.

I picked my phone and mailed at the same unknown email which he used to send me threats. I wrote 'Why did you kill Anna?' and send it. I didn't aspect him to reply but to my surprise he did. I immediately read it.

'Because she saw and hear something which she was not supposed to do so...'

My eyes grew so big as I stand startled at my spot.

It means he was there on the yacht. He was with us! Who it could be? My mind started to spin at the thought that he could be someone I know.

"It's really simple - the real culprit is in front of you. Alas! You trust someone whom you don't know. Of course, you know them but you know what they want you to know." I heard a feminine familiar voice.

I looked at her unable to say something. She was sitting comfortably on my bed. It was a long-ago since she last came to visit me. My Masked Savior, my life savior, and of course my advisor, advises which I never understood.

"What do you mean?" I said still in a startling stance.

My mind was stuck at a point that it could be someone I know. Someone so near me, a person in a mask of friend or relative yet our real foe.

"My mean is simple. I know who did this... I know who those people are who killed your brother, sister-in-law, and Anna." She said as her green eyes were slightly shining.

"What say? Do you know them?" I gasped not believing my ears.

"But I can't tell you. It's against my rules. I just must protect you but listen to me carefully and you will know them." She nodded at herself and added, "They are someone very close."

"Who are they? Tell me, please..." I almost pleaded.

"I already tell you I can't. Anyway." She stood up.

"Anabella is planning something to defeat you. I think she is waiting for your crown ceremony because only a Queen can fight with Queen over the emblem. Since your case is quite different I can't tell exactly." She shrugged.

"What?" I asked but she didn't hear. She abruptly looked at the door and then whispered, "He is here. I should go now but remember my words."

"Who is here?" I asked, looking at the door. Before I could look back at her, I heard her whispering before disappearing, 'The Prince'.

'Now kill me! How am I supposed to find the real culprit which is someone near me and the weakness of that Vampire Queen at the same time?' I thought, cursing my life.

"Oh my goodness! Here you are! Mike has found your power. Let's go! We don't have time." Walter appeared from the door out of blue and started to drag me somewhere. I mean... to the Crystal world.

What did possibly Masked Savior mean by The Prince?

'First, nothing happens and then everything happens continuously. What a life!'

"Wait...." I said and trekked to the closet, picking the book known as 'The Key'. I came back and nodded.

"Let's go."

In a split of an eye, I was standing in the castle. The huge crystal castle was looking as fascinating as always. The decoration and beauty never failed to make me gasped in aww. We walked towards the conference room where everyone was already waiting for us.

As I stepped inside the room, Mike came forward excitedly, "My goodness! I'm going to tell you about your powers but first, tell me, what did you saw in close eyes?" He asked.

"Umm... I can't exactly explain it but something like Stars and the Universe." I said. He repeated 'star and universe'. Everyone looked at his excited figure with confusion, including me.

"Come on, spill up now!" Olivia said frustratedly.

"Omnipotence. Also known as ABOVE ALL." Mike said and everyone shouted at the same time. "WHAT?" That I had to cover my ears with my hands.

"What happened?" I asked and they all ignored my question more like me and showered Mike with lots of questions.

"How is it possible?"

"There is no mistake, right?"

"Are you mad? It's no way possible."

"You checked it twice, right?"

"Are you sure there is no mistake? Probably any misunderstanding in the translation."

"Why didn't she ever feel it before?"

I screamed and they all shut their mouths and looked at me.

"Great. Now, tell me, what's wrong with my power?" I asked. It felt so weird to pronounced My power.

"Nothing. Let me understand it then I tell you." Walter said and looked at Mike.

"I asked why she never felt it before?" He asked Mike.

"Because she never thought about it. You know it's all connected to our thoughts and imaginations." Mike explained.

"Mike.....tell me, please. I'm going to die with the curiosity." I winced.

"Omnipotence, Above All, is the ability to be almighty in every aspect and sense. You can do absolutely anything without any limitations and conditions." Mike explained.

"I still can't believe this. It's mother queen power!" Peter said too shocked that was visible on his face.

"You mean..." I stopped midway to thought. "I can do anything, right?"

"In other words, your imagination is your power. You just need to imagine and focus on the thing you want to do. That's it." Walter explained.

"That's it." I repeated subconsciously.

"But why it's so hard to believe? How is it possible?" I asked scared to know more about my power.

'On another note, imagination is not a dangerous thing but it means I am no longer a human anymore.'

"Omnipotence is all about our thoughts, what we wanted to do using our elemental power. It's absolutely stunning in all ways. You just have to master its use and this is gonna be the end of Annabella's game." Mike said, grinning widely.

"Oh... And how I am gonna master it?" I asked and unintentionally looked at my hands.

"Leave it to us," Lilly said, smirking which happened to appear on everyone's face.

"Mother Queen had this power, right?" Mona said lost in some deep thought. They all nodded. She came towards me and put her right hand on her heart as she said, "You are our hope, Princess. You have a very big responsibility on your shoulders. According to Old Master's words, you should know about Annabella's weakness since birth. Please help us and save your kingdom, my to be Queen." Mona bowed her head in the end and I felt goosebumps all over me. I looked at her unable to say something.

But wait, I didn't know about anyone's weakness. They all were continuously saying that I should know about Annabella's weakness but in reality, I did not.

'What does it mean 'I know since birth'?'

"I'll try my best," I nodded my head rapidly. She smiled in response. She looked like a forest queen, a forest soul. Her golden-white hair and beautiful amber eyes with sharp features, I couldn't help but admire her beauty.

"What's that in your hand?" Bell asked, pointing at the book in my hand. Oh, I totally had forgotten about it.

I extended it towards Mike. "Translate it please, I'm sure we will definitely find something useful in it." I said.

"The Key written by Mother Queen," Walter said and they all looked at me like I had grown two heads.

What?

"Well, when my human parents found me that book was with me." I told them.

"Don't tell me this book have the weakness of all creatures of the Crystal World." Mike said and opened it to read.

"Arghh! I'm not going to translate it." He frowned. We all laughed at him.

"Everyone weakness. Does it include Annabella too?" I asked.

"Yes. But it will take years to translate the whole book. We have to found another way." Snow said and looked directly at me. "We have to train you." She added.

"We have to double your protection first. The human world is not a safe place for you anymore. I know about all the happenings of that world." Peter said and nodded to Mona. As if, he said something to her by mind talking well, I forget that power name. How could I even remember all of them, they were so many!

The next morning, in the Crystal world, happened to be my training day. As they tried to find my focus on everything like on all kinds of elements such as Ice, Water, Plants, Fire, Light, Wheater, etc. Nevertheless all in vain.

How could I find the lost focus of mind in one attempt?

Then Mike and Olivia tried to teach me a few techniques of self-defense. I found it easy as I was good at Gymnastics. My body was very flexible because of my ballet. So, after a few attempts, they got succeeded. The real challenge was the use of a sword which was so hard for me. They said I would learn if I kept on practicing.

After a long tiring day, when I got some time to rest. I didn't remember when I fell asleep under the tree. When I opened my eyes I found myself in my room back in the human world.

I got up and took a warm bath to calmed the tight muscles of my body. Then I got dressed in a plain black knee-length dress for Anna's funeral.

After completing all rituals, we buried her under the depth of the mud. Where she could take the rest of forever - a peaceful sleep. Now no more worries of waking me up and getting worried for me for no reason. Now she could rest permanently.

When everyone was busy taking people's sorry and sympathetic words. My mind was, again and again, going to one point. Who it could be? Who did this? Whom could I suspect? Someone close to me.

All the time, I scanned everyone's facial features and struggled to use my power to find out something but I didn't get anything but a headache. Eventually, I give up and tried to forget about it for at least today.

My eyes landed on Bre, standing near a tree away from all of us. He was blankly staring at Anna's grave. I felt a tug in my heart looking at him like that. His eyes were always full of hope and mischief and now looking at those blank eyes was hurting me so badly.

Despite our all attempts, Bre stayed silent all day long. The day passed like a wave of wind but at night. When Veward and I walking in the back of the house, thinking of a way to do something for Bre. He appeared out of blue and said,

"Let's find him and finish this game. I'm done with this!"
