《Calamity Falls》Chapter 25
Advertisement
I gasped in horror seeing as she went limped in my arms. With great difficulty, I dragged her out of the water before hurriedly applying pressure to her chest hoping to get the water in her system out.
"How lovely" I whipped my head behind me to find a figure emerge from the shadows towards us. He stood feet away from us and the glow of the full moon made it easier to see the mysterious being in front of us
"YOU" she muttered dangerously low, staring daggers into the man. She got up hurriedly as I followed her lead.
"What do you want?" she spat venomously making me rethink if this was actually Riele
"Stop being rude to your elder ones. Didn't your mom ever teach you never to reject an invitation sent by someone twice your age?" he snared at her and immediately realisation swam in her eyes as she gasped
I gasped "Dad" I muttered but no one heard me as I took notice of the current situation. There Riele stood, exactly where she was earlier only this time she had determination written all over her face. I looked over my dad's side to find that he wasn't alone now.
"Now be a good girl and surrender or say good bye to your dear daughter" he laughed watching Riele but she shook her head making me smile but then I felt two pair of arms around me, holding me down.
"Riele please. I am begging you, just listen this once" I screamed watching as she gulped seeing what he brought out. A gun and a memory flashed past my eyes again almost making me pass out.
Her gasp filled the silent air and slowly, her legs began lowering herself to the ground before she flopped down on the ground unmoving as blood gushed out of the hole in her chest. As if that wasn't enough, he shot several bullets at her again making different holes in her body
I fluttered my eyes open, groaning as the brightness of the room blinded me. I finally adjusted to the light before registering where I was. My old room? 'How?' I thought confusingly looking around. "Get up Riele" I got smacked in the face with a pillow making me shoot up from the bed and I was shocked to see my friends here in the room dressed in beautiful gowns.
"What?" I replied groggily.
"Get up and get dressed before Jade comes in and bites your head off seeing that you're not dressed yet" Lizzy replied making me more confused as she threw an exact replica of her dress at my face.

I got up from the bed to check the cloth out "What's happening? And why are you still talking to me? I thought you hated my guts and broke up our friendship. And why am I not dead?" I rubbed my eyes with my left hand before feeling something metallic on them making me look at my hand to find a pretty ring wrapped around my ring finger "And how did this get here?" I showed my finger to them in fear that I was running insane.
"Are you ok?" Avery asked watching me carefully but unfortunately I didn't have an answer to her question
"Of course she's not. I knew her taking an afternoon nap was a mistake. See, now she's speaking gibberish" Ella rolled her eyes making my eyes widen.
"And to answer your last question, Jace proposed to you. That's how that ring got there" Lizzy added but I didn't listen to what she said anymore
Sleep? I was asleep all this while... All of that was a dream "So I was dreaming?" I gasp in realisation but it all felt real; So real...
"Of course you were. Now put on your dress before Jade comes in" Ella replied. I nodded stripping my current clothes off before asking the question that was bouncing at the tip of my tongue.
"I have a question though. What happened to Jace's dad?" I asked finally putting the clothes on as Lizzy assisted me in zipping it up.
"Well, if I can remember you told me that he died in jail after several years of imprisonment. At least that was the information you got from Jade" Lizzy replied before guiding me in front of my vanity making me sigh in relief. She sat me down before preparing to do my makeup
"But what about Jayden and Daniella?" I asked again feeling another hand on my head, styling my hair
"They are still in jail thankfully" Karla replied making the gut trenching feeling in me subside. I still couldn't believe that all that happened was a dream but I was thankful as well that none of what happened was true
"What about the kids?" I asked again biting my lips in anxiety hoping that wasn't a dream as well and I had them for real well expect Lee of course
"They're with Mom" Karla answered making me sigh in relief
"Hold up, what's the occasion again?" I asked clearly just noticing that we were all wearing similar dresses which consisted of a sleeveless royal blue gown that reached just a little above our knees

(A/N: The one at the right)
"Woah, that dream did affect your head" Ella remarked which earned her a smack on the head from Lizzy making me smile in gratitude.
"It's Jade's wedding remember. Sean finally had the guts to ask her to marry him" Lizzy snickered making me laugh as well and I breathe out in relief seeing as they were finally done with my hair and make up.
Seeing myself in the mirror, I smiled at my reflection. "Damn, Jace won't be able to handle the heat" Kira smirked and I furrowed my brows at her questioningly. "Darling you are hot in that dress" she smiled making me blush.
I laughed it off before slipping into my shoes, "we can go now" I said making me Ella sigh
I smiled looking at the couple in front of us all. I felt someone slip their hand into mine and I looked to my side to find Jace standing there looking at me with a look that made me squirm in excitement.
He bent down to reach my ears before whispering "That'll be us some day" he said looking at Jade and Sean sharing a kiss as the priest pronounced them Husband and wife making me smile at the sight in front of me and also at what he said
We watched as the Fox's had their dance together before I felt a tug on my arm and immediately my face was resting on a rock solid chest making butterflies flutter in my stomach as he clutched my hand and we slow danced across the dance floor.
I rested my head on his shoulder following his lead, given as I couldn't really dance. Looking at everyone here, I couldn't help but smile but looking at the man in whose arms I'm in I couldn't help but reminisce back to the past where it all began and honestly I couldn't be anymore happier.
I looked at the sky which was now glittering with stars all over. "She would be so proud of you" Jace whispered in my ear already reading my mind about Reiya and I couldn't love any man more than I loved him right now.
Bringing his head down to my level, I crashed my lips with his receiving a moan of satisfaction from him and his grip on my waist tighten. After a while, I pulled away from him trying to calm the raging thump of my heart against my rib cage.
He grabbed my hand before placing it on his chest where I could feel his heart pounding "That! Is a sign of my love for you. My heart beats only for you Riele. Fuck, you don't know how much I love you. I could die for-" I cut him off by placing my lips on his
I pulled away slowly from his lips before resting my head on his "Don't! Don't bring death into this. I can't think of a world without you in it Jace. I love you so much the thought of you dying hurts so much. Promise me you'll never speak of that again" I replied opening my eyes to find him already looking at me with eyes filled with love and I'm glad it's all for me
"I promise Riele" he said making me smile in relief before placing a kiss on his lips again.
"Ok Ok, we get it, can you stop now?" Sean remarked making Jace and I break up and me being me, buried my face in his chest in embarrassment as I felt Jace's chest vibrate as he laughed.
I heard Sean cry out in pain making me look at him to find him rubbing his head "You just had to ruin their beautiful moment, didn't you?" Jade rolled her eyes at him making him pout. I laughed standing in front of Jace as he wrapped his arms around my waist, his chin resting on my head.
I watched as Ella and Carl join us with Lizzy and Robert coming with them. "Congrats bro" Carl shook Sean's hands before bumping shoulders with him as a form of greeting making me roll my eyes.
Jade's sudden yelp of pain made everyone snap their heads at her in alert even the music stopped and her eyes widen in fear before she screamed "MY WATER JUST BROKE" she said looking straight at Sean making all of us gulp in fear as we watched her.
"She's in labour" my mom gasped.
*sigh* Hope you all liked the book so far (Starting from Magnificent to Calamity Falls) but I'm afraid it's the end. Riele and Jace did have a happy ending like most of you wanted *laughs*

Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.
