《The Blood Queen》Last Ceremony
Advertisement
My head felt heavy when I woke up. Dominic's words still rang in my head from last night. I broke every part of him. It made me sick to my stomach. Fortunately I didn't run into him all morning as I packed my duffel bag and got ready for Henley and Charlies ceremony. I hesitated on what to do with the bracelet. Last minute I decided to put it on under my black long sleeve short. It was hidden but it felt like home to have it on again.
When I arrived to Henley and Charlie's castle I found Emily and Thaddeus were already there. "I think its crazy Dominic is giving up the kingdom. He held onto it for so long" Emily says as I walk in. "Oh hey Alina, want some breakfast?" she asks offering me a plate of fruit and biscuits but I politely decline.
"I'm actually looking for Henley, I imagine her and Charlie are still preoccupied after last night" I say and Emily and Thaddeus laugh.
"I know we could leave our home for months after our wedding" Thaddeus teases Emily and she smacks his arm.
A glowing Charlie and Henley walked into the room and Henley gave me a big smile and pulled me in for a hug.
"I'm so glad you don't have to leave until tonight and can stay for the ceremony" She squeals.
"I wouldn't miss it" I say.
After breakfast Henley dragged Emily and I to her room to help her get ready. Today she decided to wear a baby blue dress that fell just below her knees. She kept her hair down and I applied minimal makeup to keep her looking summery.
"Are you getting nervous?" Emily asks Henley as she admires her reflection.
"I thought I was nervous yesterday vowing my love to Charlie and today I'm even more nervous vowing my life to a kingdom" she says shaking her head and laughing.

"How is the Queen to be?" Roman says from where he stood at the door.
"Nervous" Henley laughs and he gives her a warm smile.
"Don't be. If anyone should be nervous its Charlie. He has to keep up with you" He teases and Henley rolls her eyes. As Emily fixes Henley's hair one last time Roman steps beside me.
"How are you? I'm going to miss you when you leave" He says and bumps my shoulder lightly.
"And I'll miss everyone I grew so fond of here" I respond and it was true.
"You are welcome back anytime, especially to my kingdom" He says and I smile thank fully at him. A pit in my stomach grew knowing I would never see these people here again. But it was the right thing to do for the future of everyone I cared about.
"Are you ready, my Queen?" Charlie says walking in and embracing a giggly Henley.
"Always" she says before looking back at the three of us. "See you all out there" She adds before her and Charlie leave the room.
"Shall we?" Emily asks and we all head out to the ceremony. We all stood below the small platform where Helena would pass the throne from Dominic to Charlie who would then crown his Queen. I was nervous to see Dominic up there.
This morning I had found the capsule back in the blue velvet bag and I knew Dominic had been in my room while I was sleeping to return it. I wonder why he would? Just to rub it in my face? Whatever the reason it drove straight into my heart.
As Dominic stepped up onto the platform my heart fell from my chest. He didn't look at me. Helena looked nervous and it formed a ball of fear in my stomach. Everyone turned as Charlie and Henley walked down the aisle and bowed on their knees in front of Dominic.

"I have been honored to serve the people for the last five hundred years. For three of those years we were without a Queen. Now I will bless this kingdom with no one better for the throne than Charles and Henley DeCapilani" He announced placing the crown on Charlies head. Charlie stood and faced Henley. He lifted the crown I once wore and held it above Henley's head.
"I am honored to have you as my Queen" He announces and starts to put the crown on Henley's head when Helena grabs the crown.
"I can't curse another Queen" She says and her sorrow filled eyes meet mine.

Core Defect
In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons. Val is a 22-year old woman striving to become a User: a nano-empowered human paired with a Daemon that serves as society's final and most powerful line of defense. When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential? Can they find a place among the other pairings like them, shunned by society but essential to civilization's survival? If Users are humanity's last line of defense, welcome to the sacrificial first line: the Defects. Updates are currently once a week, aiming for the weekend. Chapters usually 2k-3k in length.
