When Black Comes to Play

Coronation week, day 5 A dream?

ISA POV
Whoa, that was some dream, or was it a nightmare? It's difficult to put in a category.
The blankets are warm and comforting against the threatening cold breeze of fall. I can feel it through my open window. I just woke up, and I feel refreshed... For some reason? Oh well, it's probably because my Coronation is today. I asked Mom what she felt like, but she said she was scared and worried.
I know why, but those were different times. Now ice powers are legal. I'd never be scared to stand in front of a bunch of people and become a Princess.
In fact, I don't think I've ever really been scared in my life.
I hop out of bed and look at myself in the mirror, all sleepy eyed and rested. It's hard to believe that later today the girl in that mirror will be in a fancy dress greeting guests as the new Princess of Arendelle.
Wow, I'm a mess right now.
My maid, Sally, knocks on my door. "May I come in, Isa?" She asks.
"Ya, Sally, you can." I respond. She opens the door and comes in.
"You look well rested," she says.
"I am," I reply, stretching and smiling. "But I had this really..." I search for the right word. "Complicated nightmarish dream about my whole life leading up to today. There was always someone in the dark, making me afraid. Like, ever since the day I was born. That's why I thought it was a nightmare. But that's crazy, right? There's nothing in the dark to be scared of."
"Yes, dear," she says kindly. "Nothing at all," she smiles at me. "Now, let's get you ready." She walks me to the mirror, and starts to do my hair.
For some reason, I keep talking about my confusing dream.
"There was also this girl named Emily," I continue. "And she had to die to save me, and she did it. I thought that was really nice, but it was sad because she was our friend. She had to die because of that person in the dark. He was always sad," I say. I think about where the name Emily could have came from. There's no one named Emily here, we don't even know an Emily.
"He?" Sally asks.
"Ya," I reply. "He was a boy. He was always really sad."
"Well, it's probably because of that David," she says. "I bet you've been thinking about him quite a bit."
"Ya," I confess. "I have. He was even in the dream. But we'd just met, only a few days before my coronation. Crazy, right? We've been dating for months." I stare off into space, faintly aware of the confused expression on my face in the mirror.
"Honey," she says. "It's probably just stress." She smiles and starts taking the curlers out of my hair.
"Ya, you're right," I say. "Just stress." I smile as she continues to design the fearsome monster that is my hair.
After she's done, I get changed into a dress, and we go to get my real dress from the Taylor's. I'm really exited about it. Bright blue, sparkles, long and flowing. It's so perfect.
We're about to go out of my room when I suddenly stop.
"It just seemed so real," I say out of the blue, staring at a dark corner in my room.
"What did, honey?" She asks.
"The dream," I say, shaking it off. "Sorry, it's nothing. Let's go." And we walk out the door, me exited and Sally probably thinking I've gone completely insane.
THIRD PERSON POV
Her coronation went off without a hitch. The decorations didn't falloff anything, no one almost fell into a lake but was saved by a horse, and no one ran away in fear. Everyone danced, talked, and had a great time. The King and Queen were happy for their daughter, but had a look of sadness in their eyes. They knew that Isa's dream, Emily, and the sad boy in the darkness was real. They knew, and only they knew, everything that had happened. Everyone else forgot, due to the dark magic. Every single thing was cleared up and forgotten...
But since Isa was the centre of it all, she wasn't quite recovered yet.
So, Isa was not, in fact, going insane. She was just experiencing a side effect of the dark magic spell that was cast on her. She wasn't even conscious at what she was staring at, in that dark corner of her room. If she'd looked a little closer, she would have found that it was a note, that read: Hello, Isa. You don't know who I am yet, and I am so sorry for everything that I'll put you through. I really am, truthfully sorry. I was a different person when I planned this. I had no idea what would happen. So when you see the sad boy in the corner of your room tonight, and every night after that, know that it's okay to be afraid. Just know that he does care about you, and he always will. No matter what, Isa, I will always love you.
