Vampire Chronicles 16 Tragic Passing

Days pa.s.sed after Nicole tragically pa.s.sed away. Things was no longer the same in lilth kingdom, Charles locked himself in his room depressed are ever. As for Jasper he kept a straight face while handling his duties, he always thinks about her last words that's pierced through his heart. Percy didn't care about her death, he was just glad to be placed on the throne. He had all the power no freedom was given to the citizens, they had to do hard labor to provide for there families. Charles heart was shattered, love that sprung a new but was taken. He took the person he loves life away, how could he ever forgive himself.

Charles heard a knock on the door but didn't have the energy to open the door. A maid came inside as she bowed at Charles , she slowly took off her gown showing her undergarments.

"Lord Percy....said I have to whipped on my back several times, because I broke a couples of plates" the maid spoke as she held out the whip towards him.

Charles stayed until he said "I'm not in the mood for that....leave...get out of this h.e.l.lhole...I sadly hurt a women I cared for, yet I shall I not hurt another." Charles let out tears of sorrow as the maid picked up her dress an bowed at him frantically before leaving the tattered messy room.

Was Charles turning back to his old self, the man that strived for adventure having heart of a loving man that adored children. The one thing that was true that he does give people hard punish more so burtal.

A person who didn't take women granted an use them as p.a.w.n nor tool. He hid himself away deep down in his eternal heart. Those who saw him as a spoiled rotten boy that could corrupt a kingdom was all nothing but a silly allusion to fool your mind. Charles was indeed a good actor, he played his part well, the posessive, cold heart, bad boy u saw was nothing but for show, even his mother and father had to deal with his plan. He never meant to hurt those around him, he thought he was doing it to protect others ; sadly that failed.

Jasper came in the room handing Charles a piece of paper with a note on it.

"Are you back to your normal self prince Charles..." Jasper spoke turning his head away from Charles. He didn't know if he was ever going to be able to forgive him for such a crime.

"...yes Jasper...I am back to my old self....I get tired acting the same part.... Did I...succeed....No...I failed her ..." Charles covered his face screaming in sadness and angry.

Jasper looked down as he weeped with him.  " you played a fasinating character but it caused her life...sir..." Jasper clenched Charles shoulder tightly.

Meanwhile Nicole spirit  traveled to a stream that was glowing with nothing but light. She saw cities and the beautiful midnight lights captivating the moon light.

It was stunning she thought to herself as she went into a building where her body was supposedly at.  Nicole eventually saw her body as people was examineing her body, what lead her to death. She took a gulp an went into her body. The examiner grabbed a little knife as he was  about to cut the top of her open, she suddenly gasp for air as she looked around the room seeing the people frighten out of their mind.

How can someone just wake up like that,  the people in the autopsy room rushed her into the hospital. Nicole  had to get surgery for her chest and head. Being badly damaged by Charles put her in a very bad position, she sadly had to end up on life support because her brain wasn't properly getting enough oxygen. It turned to days, weeks and months she laid in a coma, people was wondering if they should pull her plug but doctors still had faith that she would pull through. Dozens of Flower and balloons was sent to her room almost everyday, maids and servants from the lilth kingdom secretly visited her and shared such fond memories of the lovely lady. Charles and Jasper had no clue that she was risen from dead placed in a coma.

Charles kept planning days to take his own life, nothing was more important than her life he said over and over again letting the memory of her sink in his mind deeply.  Maids and servant's try to persuade him to eat and drink something but he refused. Jasper knocked on the door letting himself in running to Charles whispering in his ear. Charles eyes grew wide as b.l.o.o.d.y tears fell from his face as he immediately got up grabbing his coat heading out the manner along with Jasper.

Nicole slowly awoke from her coma, she looked around seeing nothing but flowers, get well balloons, an cards. She smiled knowing that people cared about her even when she died. Nicole saw a mirror and looked at seeing her face swollen face and her shaved head wrapped in bandages along with her chest. She couldn't help but slightly cry when she did she heard a knock as two people came in the room.

She covered herself with the mirror as she hears the nurse's voice approaching her bed, she sigh with relief as she puts the mirror down.

"Hi there Nicole I see you just woke up, now we have two vistors that want to see ooo they brought you gifts!!! Come on in gentlemen! "

The gentle men came in as Nicoles eyes grew wide seeing Charles carrying dozens of roses and small gift bags as Jasper brought her vase that they worked on together. She frantically started to look for something to hid her disgusting figure sadly she was too late.

" Hi miss Nicole....I see you didn't leave us...thank the heavens that your safe...now... I'm sorry but I don't want you to see me cry I'll be stepping out" Jasper lip quivered as he walked out the rook crying. Charles sat down her gifts as he walks up to her. Nicole started to shake as she covered her face hoping he doesn't attack her.

She waited but nothing she felt something heavy on her chest as she looked down seeing Charles head laying on her chest,he wept getting her hospital gown dirty with his blood for tears.

All he could say was that he was sorry nothing more than that.

A/N

I found this chapter somewhat of a twist because Charles was never what he say he was, he indeed is a actor , he played a character that he wanted to protray. You'll see why he did it and what his purpose was.

Thanks so much for reading
