Dawn of Fate

14.The witch who became Helios

Luminous held her stomach, Nightdread hit her pretty hard and she still felt queasy.

"Dang nabbit kid! It's hard to see the bright side in all this!" Yelled the Dawn of Fate, amongst all the corrupt that surrounded them.

Leaning up against the tree. Her eyes glazed as she stared off into the distance where she saw the gray mouse in the red sweater vest again.

"I...don't understand...who are you?"

The mouse then tapped his shoulder. Luminous glanced over towards her own shoulder noticing the heart-shaped button for the first time since she lost her memory.

"Huh?"

"No! Don't!" Screamed the Dawn of Fate.

Luminous unconsciously pressed the button. Dark magic burst from it, her pink button pajama top with the black shorts replaced with a pink leotard and red metal breastplate, and metal boots.

Luminous looked down at the metal arm guards. The dark magic weaving through their cracks and around the rest of her armored body like electricity.

All the corrupt with their bulbous features stopped attacking and stood around watching her. It was as if they were subjects waiting for their queen's next commands.

"Oh, so you've decided to play dirty after all?" Snead Nightdread throwing his hands up. "What happened to being a goodie two shoes? Taking the moral high road too good for you now princess?"

But Luminous just stood there, the darkness buzzing around like electricity. She couldn't focus, the corrupt angry, scared, hungry voices were all trapped in her head. She couldn't get their buzzing out of her head!

"You and all your fake morals piss me off!"

Nightdread ran towards Luminous. His boot was near her face in an instant. Luminous put her armguards up to block. The hair crack on her armguards splintered into pieces as his boot connected with it.

Luminous skidded, her metal boots tearing up the grass until her back hit the dome.

"Look up!" Yelled the Dawn of Fate.

Luminous looked up and saw Nightdread leaping for her. She caught his fist in her hand. The dark electricity buzzing around her growing more rampant.

The night blue flowers around them began wilting and turning black.

"My flowers! What did you do you wench!" Yelled Nightdread.

Luminous looked past him at the mouse as she begins to remember who he was. She began remembering everything. From the time the red prince had helped her out of the fountain after Maybell pushed her in, to the time she and the red prince first spoke to Chasm when he came to live at the red kingdom.

Up until the night at the palace when the corrupt took over. And...

The red prince and Chasm were kidnapped.

Luminous felt her skin boil. She glared at Nightdread her blue eyes piercing through him. She could feel the corrupt voices get louder and louder in her head.

"Where are the red prince, the brown princess, and chasm?" She yelled.

"Oh, you're here about that?" Laughed Nightdread. "Well, then you're too late. I already shipped off the brown princess, the red prince wasn't my charge but probably the same answer for whoever was charged with obtaining him."

Luminous' face paled, shipped where? What was going to happen to them?

"Oh come on now what's with that face? Do you happen to be a member of the red court?" Asked Nightdread. "Don't worry, whoever took the red prince did you guys a favor. I mean it would be a curse to put a king on the throne with your guy's luck right? The curse of the red king bloodied his fingers as the name on his ring."
