shattered reflection

13

I woke up in my prison cell. Memories of previous events crash into my head. I killed someone but how? I wasn't in control. There was a knock on the door, it opened with a screech. It was crystal, she had that look on her face like she always does when she looks at me. Trepidation and worry all over her face, she sat on the edge of the bed. "Why didn't you tell me I had to kill to win? Why leave that part out? That seems pretty important if you ask me" I tried not to sound harsh but let's be real I was livid, i wanted more than anything but to backhand her and ask her why must i be put in this mess. I didn't want to kill I didn't want to be the person who killed my other clan. Thinking about it made me want to scream and panic. "I... I'm sorry okay I didn't know you were supposed to kill to win, I would've told you if I knew" I give her a harsh glare my blood boiling into lava again "How can I trust you? You're one of them. how do I know you're not just trying to get on my good side just to betray my in the end?" for a second she seems speechless. She opened her icy mouth but then closed it. It only made my blood boil more. My blood never boiled like lava before, this was a new thing a thing that freaked me out could it be my body's reaction from being angry in the cold? Or is it something else? I tried desperately to remember a time, any time in my life when my blood boiled like this turning into literal lava. I can't there was never a time, did they do something to me in my sleep? "Listen I don't know how I can prove to you that I wouldn't do either of those things if I had free will which I don't, queen Yuki has the power to control all of us if she wanted. my lips are sealed on certain things I can't spill or I'll be punished with death or worse" Well I sure as hell would never let her control me. I have to find a way out of here. My mind was racing as fast as my heart was it made me feel woozy as if I was having some type of anxiety attack. And to my luck, the door flew open again Frezza Interad but I didn't waste any time to see what she wanted I flew out the door and down the hall but I could still hear them "Sailena wait you ca-" Crystals shouted voice was interrupted by Frezza "oh don't worry darling she cursed she cant pass the bearer no matter how strong she thinks she is" cursed? A bearer? I knew they did something to me in my sleep! My blood boiled again it was so overwhelming I wanted to kill them all. I will kill them all I pushed past other Yuki people in the hall wanting them to try and stop me but they didn't which was weird. Were they scared of me? Well, they're not as dumb as I thought. I saw the French ice doors and I used my left arm to slam it open making a huge bang hard enough to make the ice building rumble as if walking on a pond of ice. I ran away from the village and towards the forest, I ran as fast as my feet could muster the thick snow crunching under my feet the cold breeze making my eyes water and my nose burn making it hurt to breathe. I looked back at the village I was somewhere around fifty feet away. I huffed out a laugh Frezza was just trying to scare me I'm not cursed and even if I was no barrier will stop- slamming face first into an invisible wall knocked me backward and onto my butt, the snow Cushioning my fall. My head rings from how hard I slammed into the barrier. Snowy footsteps along with rumbling laughter make their way to me I turn my head to Frezza "Fool, you think I was bluffing to scare you?" she threw her head back and let out witchy laughter "You can't escape Lunaza. You're stuck here until you die!" I dig my fingers into the snow the cold makes my fingers numb but it melts into hot water slipping passed my fingers. the burning rage I can't control takes over unconsciously. I charge after her jumping up in the air the wind making whoosh noises against my ears I move my leg faster than a blink to jab her face in, but she catches it with her hand and throws me to the right like useless trash my back hits the ground and in a flash, my visions turn white and slowly goes away along with a ringing in my ears I bounce back up, normally I would've landed on my feet but the cold is so strong it Foggs my will to think. "It's useless Lunaza you're a young ninja of fire you don't know the things you should to survive here, you're not strong enough" My breathing was heavy my heartbeat was in my ears I was losing conciseness "Is it true... is it true that.. that monster you call queen killed my mother?" she tilts her head up and looks down at me with a smirk "That I don't know.., some say she killed her others say she being tortured" "tortured?" "worse than what we're doing to you oh... and before I forget. Queen Yuki changes her mind you won't be moving up you'll stay in that cell and suffer with barely any food or water and you'll be forced to take ice baths every day. She wants you as weak as possible for next week's battle with Surow. She wants to watch you die, by her strongest... Well one of them. I personally think he's not strong enough but don't flatter yourself you're still weak against me" She turns and walks away a trail of her footprints following after her. "Ta-ta don't stay out here long darling or you'll freeze to death even if that's what we plan to do but not yet we still have many other plans for you... that is if you survive" She walks away with rumbling laughter deep in her throat.
