Sweet Dreams

Inside Her Head

...oh no. Wait, why do I feel bad about this? Lyla deserves this, she doesn't belong. But...but I didn't mean to really hurt her... Wow... Aaron looks so worried. Oh man. Not these feelings again.
I slapped my thoughts away and the dark cloud above her dissapeared.
"I..gotta go," I quickly said. I can't stay here anymore. "I need to discuss some things with the allies...bye." I dashed off. I need to talk to the queen. Of fire, that is.

I ran off to the front of my castle, and quickly called for a carriage. I need to talk to Amanda...she needs to know about Lyla's dark glow. I've never seen anything like it. She...she was glowing, a dark shade of purple. It was like she was being consumed by total darkness. Even though I dislike Lyla, I am honestly kind of worried about her, and I need to get it out of my system.

I soon arrived in Flare, the fire kingdom, and the 4th out of the 7 kingdoms. Amanda looked as if she was expecting me.

"Hello, young one. What is the matter? You seem...hmm...troubled?" Amanda started.
Man, she can see right through me.
"Yeah, your majesty..."
"Please Danielle, you can just call me Amanda. You know that."
"Oh yes...Amanda. I just need to talk to someone."
"Go on, Princess."
"Okay, well. Lyla came in for trade of natural resource, right...?" I continued to explain the whole situation to Queen Amanda. Through it all, she shook her head, understanding.

Silence crept into the room when I finished speaking. Amanda finally cleared her throat, resembling that she was to speak.
"Well, Danielle. You know what happens when Lyla gets fired up. Haha, fired. But, my sweet little monster, you've seen happen before. What did you expect? She'd treat you any better than...him?"
"Well..." I trailed off. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
"Well?"
"I don't know. I'm quite frightend to go back home, now. I caused a lot of harm to her. Did you even see those storms?!?" I replied to her one-word sentance.
Only in the last few hours, I've been feeling a bunch of emotions. There's a storm inside me. Wait- theres a storm outside too. Oops.

I've been thinking more than I usually do. It caused me to think about...him.
He. That monster. You know, he killed my brother, Prince Dominic. Dom was supposed to take the throne, he was only 3 years older than me. Now that he is gone, I'm going to be in charge. But that also means I have to marry some rich guy. But, what if that's not what I want?
Anyway, back onto him. He nearly destroyed Katrina, along with killing a lot of the elders in Katrina...and all over the planet. He attacked Amanda's husband, too. They we're so happy, and it breaks my heart that her husband is gone; but Amanda is as stronger as ever.
They we're like my family. Amanda always was a "big sister" to me. But ever since he attacked, nothing's been the same....
