ORION's Elixir (Book 1: The Elixir Series)

14. Double update!

The Starks glanced at each other asking each other silently if they should do the same and bow too.

The said queen is looking at them one by one. Her stance is intimidating.

"She looks scarier than Kali," Boy whispered to CC.

"Glad she's not here," she said before glaring at Kith.

The Queen turned to Zed. "I see we have extra here,"

Her voice is also distorted like the others.

"We are waiting for Mr. Stark's decision, my queen," Zed said.

The queen hummed and look at Kith.

"So, what will it be?" She asked.

"Why can't I stay when I am invited?" The girl sassed.

"Shiena" Kith warned.

"Who invited you? Him?" The queen asked pointing at Kith.

"Yes. He's my man and this is his gala," Shiena said.

The queen lowered her head before she starts laughing. Kith's siblings are smirking.

"Ooh, she's gonna get it," Zy said.

The queen stopped laughing and look at her. They can't see her face because of the mask she's wearing but her blue eyes are visible and they can see how scary it looks.

"Listen here, you are inside my domain. Whatever I do to you, no one will care. These people are here because I allowed them unlike you, and do you have any idea what we do with people like you that aren't on the list?" The queen asked

"W-what?" Shiena stuttered.

The queen tilted her head, "We burned them to ashes. And with that, there will be no evidence. You will vanish into thin air,"

Shiena gulped. The look on her face made Zy chuckle.

"But don't worry, I will not do it to you. But it doesn't mean you are off the hook. I hate people who break rules. Especially my rules,"

The door opened again and Kith frowned at the one who entered. Though the face is covered by a mask, he can recognize who it is.

The man whispered something to the queen. The queen face them all, "The guests have arrived," she said.

They all understood who she is talking about.

"Take her away, Artemis," the queen ordered the newcomer.

Artemis bowed and walks towards Shiena whose eyes widened.

"You can't do this to me! Kith!" She whined.

"Silence!" The queen exclaimed. She strode and stopped in front of her.

"Listen here, peasant. You will obey my rules or else you will never get out of this place alive," the queen stated.

"Just follow the rules if you value your cheap life," Zy chirped in.

"Yeah. You are lucky enough that they are not killing you. If I were the queen, you are already dead," Jer said.

Shiena turned to Kith. "Just obey," he uttered.

Artemis dragged her away. "Don't worry, you will still see the fun that we're going to have," Santa said.

When she was out of the room, they all look at the queen.

"So, this is the night Elixir will fulfill your request. Dark Star will be erased for good," the queen said.

The Starks have different feelings at the moment but they all have one goal, to avenge their father's death by killing Kyran.

They were briefed on what they needed to do and when they will enter the hall.
