It is now that Isha turned two months, three weeks ago. Her mother, Aannya, was looking at her peaceful face as she was sleeping soundly but her eyes didn't find sleep. A feeling of something bad happening surrounded her.

She didn't know but kept looking at the door, again and again, hoping that someone would come and tell her everything was right.
Aannya even separated her chamber from Shorya to avoid disturbing him if Isha woke up at midnight. But she was just a heavy sleeper as she didn't wake up in the middle of the night till now after her first bath ceremony. 

I am just overthinking

She stared at the beautiful night sky as if wanting to get lost. After an hour or so her eyelids became heavy from sleep.
Just as she was going to sleep loud sounds of steel crashing and the smell of burning started to come. Aannya could hear her heartbeat in her ears.

She started sweating like crazy. Suddenly a guard came and she flinched at the sound of the door being shut behind him.

He bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am here to take you and Princess to a safe place. Please take Princess along with you, it's dangerous here. "

"Where is the king? " She asked hoping he was safe.
"He is leading the army to protect the kingdom from a sudden attack by the Queen of Dark Realm."

Aannya was not in the right state to understand why her cousin was attacking her kingdom. She and she were best friends. She was so caring and sweet. Although they never got a chance to talk after Aannya's marriage. It's been 120 years since they last spoke but that doesn't affect their relationship, or does it?

Aannya swiftly and carefully pulled Isha into her arms and followed the guard. When they exited the palace through the backdoor, all they could see was a horrific bloodbath, as if death was dancing in their world. The entire ground was covered with mounds of dead bodies.

But they persisted, encountering a few guardians from the Dark Realm. They discussed killing the queen and Isha on the orders of her cousin, Timmi, as Aannya called her.

She was not startled when she heard about her assassination plan but about Isha's murder. She became enraged and used her power to eliminate them on the spot, but there were more troops and they were in peril.

Even the soldier who was supposed to guard them ended up battling the enemy. She took the risk and fled to protect Isha.

She was seeking something to cover them when Isha began crying. Aannya was very messed up and tried to calm her down, but she didn't.

Suddenly, the hut's door opened, alerting her, and she grabbed her sword and pointed in the direction of the sound. But gladly it was Shorya, who was drenched in blood and had multiple cuts. He approached them, and she dropped my weapon. He kept his palm on her cheek and kissed Isha's forehead.

"To keep Isha safe, we must let her leave. Don't worry, I've found a loving and welcoming family for her. I even obtained her documents, which are required in the human world." Anaya noticed the sorrow, hurt, and tears in his eyes. She was heartbroken.

She was also weeping when she heard about having to give up her child. She wasn't ready to give her up, but Shorya assured her that if she wanted, she could see her, but first they needed to keep her safe. 

He took Isha to Earth, and Anaya lost control of her emotions.
