/ LIYANA'S POV
I don't know what's happening.
I don't know why this is happening in the first place.
I am confused. I am shocked.
This is not the scene I am expecting to see when I planned to come home. I am expecting to see my Mother welcoming me at our house, her admitting to me that she is my Mother not my Aunt. I even bring Snow and Stupid with me because I wanted them to meet my Mother. But why?
My Mother is safe. But only for now. As she is being hunted. Our family is being hunted. They taught we are enemies. That's what the little girl said.
When we arrived, our house is surrounded by the soldiers of Cassopeia.
"What's going on? What are you doing?" Snow is the first one to react.
"They are one of our enemies. They are using black magic so we are here to kill them." The guard said.
I immediately gasped. What? Kill them?
I look around. There are too many of them. And they don't look like they are joking at all.
"Kill them? Are you kidding me?" Snow exclaimed.
"Excuse me, what do you mean kill them?" I stepped forward even though Stupid held me back.
"There's a misunderstanding here. They are my family. And they aren't enemies." I calmly explained even though I am shaking in the insides.
What if they would really.. oh my god no.
The guard looked at me. "Are you saying that just because you wanted to protect them? My lady, learn not to pity enemies. And look," he pointed behind me.
"Those people are protecting the people inside that house. And they are our enemy which means the people inside that house is one of them too."
I look at our house and he is right. Several men in dark cloaks are standing outside. I frowned. What are they even doing there?
"No. You are mistaken--"
"Oh my god!" Snow yelled quickly pulling me into her to cover my ears but it didn't help.
Even with Snow covering my ears, I clearly heard the loud bang behind me.
Slowly, I turned around. 
Our house is burnt down. Totally.
"No..Mom.." Tears started to fall from my eyes.
I couldn't believe it. Seeing our house completely wrecked, my mother is in there..
She's gone.
"Sh.t, what do you think you're doing?!" I heard Stupid yelled angrily.
"Her Mother is in there for heavens sake!"
"Her mother?" The guard asked. "Then that means, she's one of them too. We have to kill--"
But the guard didn't finished what he is about to say as his body was thrown far away.
Stupid is already mad.
But I am mad MAD. They didn't even atleast tried to hear my explanation. They killed my Mom who is innocent of whatever that they are accusing her off.
"Liyana.." Snow called me but I didn't respond to her.
Everyone around me is suddenly spinning, my whole body started to shake uncontrollably making me fall into the ground. It felt like something is forcefully coming out from my body.
And before I knew it, a strong dark aura surrounded me.
/ THIRD PERSON'S POV
"Liyana.." Snow helplessly cried as she watch her friend transformed into someone she knew she wasn't.
Jian, who is supporting Snow so she would not fall into the ground is also confused and worried. But they can't do anything.
Liyana is already unstoppable.
Her eyes turned red in color. They look lifeless and cold. In addition to that, strong dark aura is surrounding her.
Even the deep blue skies earlier became dark in an instant, making everyone confused and scared.
"You dared to kill my Mother?" Liyana's voice came out cold and plain enough to bring tremble into everyone.
The guards started to murmur with each other, already scared. They knew danger will be served if they won't leave as soon as possible.
But before anyone could leave the place, Liyana suddenly disappeared. Everyone was wondering where did she go, not until the guards started to fall into the ground lifeless one by one.
Chain dark poison.
That technique is created by the former Queen, Heila. A dangerous technique that can kill thousands in a snap.
And that is what Liyana used.
"RUN EVERYONE! RUN!"
But Liyana just laughed seeing how scared everyone is. She then smirked. No one can escape me, she muttered.
But seeing the lifeless body before her eyes, she wasn't really pleased. But she couldn't control herself. It was like she was possessed by something.
And she won't stop not until she could see everyone die.
You took my Mom's life, I'll take yours.
That is what she was thinking while killing everyone mercilessly. And no one was left alive at that day except Snow and Jian, who successfully escaped before Liyana's deadly poison reach them.
