White's Pov:

I ran for my life turning left or right continuously until I reached the 10 cells.

I start to breath heavily. My helmet wasn't on. I was gonna get caught.

"Orange let's get out of here." I gestured. Sweat was running down my neck. I was on the hunt. 

I looked around.

"Wait. Now is not the right time." A Pink crewmate debated and showed me a peice of paper. "Take it, we'll join you." A Purple crewmate joined in and I did. Holding the map in my hand I saw room. Noted secret. I was running out of time. Soon they would announce my escape.

Right?

I keep running hoping not to get caught. I run out and down the corridor. My eyes were darting towards anything I saw. No one. Not a single soul. I find the wall. A wall.. Great. I knock on it. It was hollow.

I searched up and down for a switch or at least a button, till I hear a single voice call out to me. "HELIOS." 

Lundesang.

I'd run but I was cornered. She used her hands to draw a Z. 

I threw myself on her. She collapsed, not having enough time to call for help I conjure a spell.

"Uhh. Was it? Or was it?" I mumbled until I remember what Lune taught me.  

Trembling, I begin to remember certain steps of the spell.

She charges towards me.

I draw a circle and a cross over it. The neon orange colour left a trail as I chanted the words and ended the spell. 

Lune was on the floor. Barely breathing, she closes her eyes.

Without a single second thought I start looking for a button or switch. I found a peice of metal and pressed it. 

The floor opened and

- Bash

I wake up and

"AAAAAAAHHHHH!" Emily yelled.

"AAAAH!"  I screeched.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" She shrieked backing away from me as the ceiling became dark.

"WHY ARE YOU HERE!" I yelled back and she lit a flame with some magic.

"I'M HIDING."

"SAME IDEA."

4's Pov:

I'm stuck on a shift with her royal majesty and she starts revealing lore. And I mean good lore. I mean Mattpat Good lore.  

"You know how I said I need blood." She began openly.

"Yes." I quickly reply to her. She tells me about a cell like Helios' but there is a blonde girl inside.

"She is the missing peice." 

She shushes me as I try to speak. Her nails being expressive and she kept ranting.

"Anyway, I need you to find Red's child." 

"Which Red?" I say with my finger circling around the ridge of my glass. It was full of wine. Wine from Lebering.

"Christan Star." Eclipsa muttered. Lifting the glass to her lips and drank.

"I've met him. Seems nice." I reply and she shrugs. Impatiently, I flick my legs from the stage forward and back. We put away the wine.

We leave the main room and in the hall I see-

"Lunedesang!" The queen noticed she ran to Lunedesang. 

Instead of comforting her or helping her get up.

She said "Wake up. WHERE IS HELIOS?!" Eclipsa was using her magic to tell what was going on. Her eyes flashed into a black abyss.

"Lunedesang wake up." I quietly added trying to help Lunedesang get up.

Lunedesang scrambled off the floor. Strands on her face covered her eyes as she says. "He's gone." 

"HOW DARE YOU!" Eclipsa lifts up Lunedesang in the air with one of her spell- leviosa. I stood their in shame looking at how Lunedesang was in hatred when she looked at me.

"FIND HIM!" She shrieked and dropped Lune. She pivoted and turned. I quickly followed. I straightened my back. My shoulders were relaxed and I hung my head up high.

I look back to see Lunedesang. Hatred in her eyes. 

She hated me.

I tried to wave goodbye but I was too distracted by the Queen's voice.

"Where is Emily? You cannot be serious." Eclipsa worried and I kept followng behind her.

White's Pov:

"So you're not trying to kill me?" I recap holding what was my crown as a weapon towards her.

"Well I'm also going to die so no." Emily decided. "Anyway we need a plan."

"Right." I began. "We can gather everyone who escapes here and-"

"That won't work. They'll find us eventually." Emily interrupted. She took the map out of my hand. "I designed this ship. I heard something about a sub project on Polus. We could escape on that."

"But first we would need disguises." I reminded her.

"Will it work?" She questioned herself. We stared at eachother. I was questioning if I could really trust her.

Then I look down. Reminding myself that Lune betrayed me I stare at the floor.

The flame kept burning but it became purple. The interior of the so-called basement was full of crates and posters; Propaganda.

"So?" She looks up.

"We have to be an imposter among the imposters." The decision was made.

"Look for some spare suits." She said. She stood up and opened a crate.

Nothing. 

I head to another one. Nothing. There were about 20 crates. This might take a while.

Lunedesang's Pov:

I was a disappointment. Nothing but a pawn to my sister. My messy strands of hair cover my face as I look to 4. 

I'm done with this. If I can't get the throne then I will be the first domino of a new Era.

First, I need to find Helios so I can join him. 

I struggle to stand as my head spins. Me eyes barely open to see an empty hallway. 

The purple lights become a blur as I try to limp towards a single cell. If I was going to help Emily, chaos would have to devour us. 

I keep limping and panting as I walk towards the cell. I hid my thoughts and quickly chanted a spell. 

Perfect.

I was going insane. One by one all my anger building up.

"I'm letting you out." I gasped.

"Finally." The blonde sighed and stood up from the floor.

"I'll  stay here." I look at her one more time. I leave with her and she's gone.

I was a nothing. My sister was nothing to Eclipsa. We were pawns. But in Chess I can become the queen. As soon as I reach the end.

So the tables have turned.

I think that was a nice twist. Lune definitely has some middle child backstory.

Goodbye my lovely readers!
