The Evil Queens Daughter

Chapter 20

A/N: So if you have been reading this book for a while you'll have noticed I have deleted some chapters, I felt the story dragged on. I'm gonna do a bit of tweaking. Thank you all for the reads and the likes it all means so much to me. Sorry for the short chapter, but I am trying hard. I'm getting writers block so please bear with me.

We reached the castle and we were allowed to stay. It was huge, a place filled with many places to hide, to spend time. I entered along with everyone else. Mum and Dad got their own room, Henry was beside my room. I walked in, closed the door and sat on my bed, staring at my wall. I had to make sure I didn't blow my new plan, my new persona. I don't understand why I wanted to do this, other than the fact it was the only way to be completely and utterly strong. But could strength be weakness? No, never, that's ridiculous. Dad knocked on my door, he opened after a moment and peeked in.
" Hi lass, how you doing? " he asked smiling. I looked up to him with a scowl. His smile soon faded from his face.
" I'm fine...unless you've got something important to say, leave, " I said harshly. He sighed and sat next to me. I looked back to the wall, after a moments silence he reached for my hand. I pulled away and he looked at me confused but didn't say anything. Mum then entered the room.
" How are you settling in? " she asked smiling and leaning against Dad.
" Oh you know, marking how many places you can hide a body, " I said with a evil smirk. They both seemed pretty surprised.
" This isn't you, " Mum said with a frown. I stood up, brushed myself down.
" Your right. We'll have to change that. Now that's sorted I have a castle to make and people to destroy, " I sauntered out the room. Once outside the doors I disappeared in a puff of smoke. I was standing in an empty meadow, thinking of how my castle should look. How could I be evil without a big looming building to inspire fear? I flicked my wrist, stones flying around and swirling along with smoke. When it all disappeared a castle was left standing there. Zelena appeared beside me.
" Nice house, " she joked, I raised my eyebrow, " Charming's waiting inside I assume, " she started to pace in front of me. I scoffed.
" What? The goody two shoes? Nah, I don't need them, just me and myself, " I smirked. She raised her eyebrows and smiled.
" Getting it now? No one is ever there, the only person you can trust is yourself, " she stared into the forest beside the new building. I nodded briefly and headed into the castle. We just kept walking through the halls in silence.
" Can you please leave now? Like I said I don't anyone, including you, " I snapped. She cackled and left. I sat down on a big fancy chair and sighed. I bit my lip, considering everything. Was I too harsh? Did I really think this through? I heard a large knock at the door. I called for them and they opened the door. I saw Henry's head pop through, my heart immediately softened.
" Summer, what are you doing? " He asked. I took a gulp and raised my head.
" Having a little fun, " I smirked. He frowned. He stepped into the room, with confidence that nothing would happen. Of course I'll never hurt him, I won't hurt any of them, maybe. I might have to throw a couple of fire balls, just at the floor, never at them. I clasped my hands waiting for Henry to speak. He looked around the room.
" I miss you, so does Mum, and Dad, and Emma and everyone, " he told me. I gulped quietly. I regained my composure. I stood up and began to pace around the room.
" Shame, they'll have to deal with that. There's nothing to do about that, now go, " My voice almost cracked but I kept it under control. He looked at me, checking for any lie coming through, but I could hide it. I could put a lid on it and bottle it up. He came up to me, staring me right in the eyes, in a poor attempt to intimidate me.
" Tell me the truth...are you going evil? Are you going to become the Evil Princess? " he questioned me. I smirked and bent down to whisper in his ear.
" You'll be finding out soon, " I sneered and he rushed out the room. I let out my breath when he was gone. I'm strong, impenetrable. Zelena can't prey on those close to me, because no is close to me. No one can hurt me, because I have nothing to hurt.
