I rushed back to the palace through the tunnels, I made it just in time to put on the dress that Ryder picked out.

A black dress but with every step I took fire lit up from the ends of it.

I burned the ground with every step.

'You look absolutely beautiful' the voice said. 'I hate the dress though'

'Me too' I answered. Like I said, I never liked fire.

"You look sexy" Ryder said from behind me, which immediately made me turn around.

'Sexy? Really dude?' The voice grumbled.

Ryder was wearing a black suit, his dark hair pushed back.
He looked quite hands-

'No he doesn't' the voice interrupted my thoughts.

'Can I think in peace?'

'Not when you're thinking about shit like that'

I was gonna go crazy if I constantly had to fight this voice in my head. Or maybe I already was crazy?

"Thanks, you look handsome as well" I answered.

Which caused a grumble in my head.

Ryder offered his hand, with a smile on his face. "Let's go?"

I nodded as I put my hand in his before another shock of electricity caused us to immediately drop each other hands.

"I think I will need to bring gloves next time" Ryder laughed, gestured me to follow me but didn't touch me anymore.

'Are you doing this?' I asked.

'I have no idea what you're talking about' he said, but the chuckle that followed was clearly an indication that it was actually him.

Ryder took me to the tent, a lot of people looked at us as we entered.
Were they looking at Ryder or at me?

'They're obviously looking at you'

That comment actually made me smile, it even caused a little blush on my cheeks.

It was just pretty unexpected to receive compliments like that.

We took our seats, in the VIP spots of the tent. We had the best view but I wasn't as excited for these shows anymore.

I just didn't understand what they wanted to tell me.

The girl who gave me the dress was standing in the middle of everyone, with butterflies wings.

Butterfly.

Was she supposed to be me?

Then two guys entered the stage as well. A guy with fire around him and one with lightning bolts.

Phoenix and Chaos.

All three of them did different acts. They were obviously so very talented or magical.

Instead of looking at the stage, I looked around, looking at the people in the crowd.

'Eyes on the stage, it's getting interesting now'

I did as the voice told me, I looked at the stage. Fire was burning around the butterfly girl, causing her wings to burn.

She fell down, smoke filled the tent and then.. she was gone.

Ryder, who was sitting next to me, frowned. He leaned to some guy sitting next to him, whispered something and let out a breath.

Another girl popped on stage, she was standing next to Phoenix. She pointed at Chaos, as if she was..

Cursing him?

'You're correct'

'So a witch cursed Chaos? What did she curse him with?' I asked.

He went silent for a second and I didn't expect him to answer anymore.

'With a deadly kiss'

Before I could register what he just told me, there was a huge lightning bolt that crashed inside the tent.

Everyone gasped, including Ryder, next to me.

He got up, tried to grab my arm but an even bigger lightning crashed right next to us.

'Run' the voice in my head said, but he sounded weaker, further away.

'Where to?'

'The forest' he answered.

There was lightning, electricity, a huge storm was going through the tent. He was causing chaos, making it easy for me to run away from Ryder.

He was causing chaos..

'Are you Chaos?'

The voice chuckled. 'Quite smart, aren't you?'
