The Evil Queens Daughter

Chapter 22

" And what the hell do you know? " I snapped, I stood up rage plastered on my face, " How the hell do you know what's going on? How the hell do you know how I feel? " I stood up to him. He was tall and thin, yet somewhat muscular. He smiled softly, kindly.
" Because I know how to read people, " he said quietly. I clenched my fist and stood there, how do I react to this? I let out a sigh of frustration. I stormed around the room. Processing everything.
" Y'know, we understand that you must be very confused. You have darkness in you, so your having a war with yourself, " He offered his hand. I raised my eyebrow at it and walked, slowly over to him.
" What are you doing? " I asked. He chuckled a tiny bit.
" Waiting for you to admit your wrong, stupid, " he teased. I looked at the hand then to him. I smiled and took it. I teleported us to the Charming's castle. I gulped and as he took a step forward I stepped back. I can't do this, I hurt Snow, they'll think I'm evil. I hardly know this guy! I pulled my hand away and studied it. My heart finally won over my head and now I'm turning away from it.
" Summer? " I heard a boy behind me. I looked back and saw Kai. I also saw Ellen beside him. He ran over to me and gave me a hug. I stood there awkwardly, and then hugged back after a while. I missed him, his comfort, his cute face. I looked deep into his eyes and then Ellen cleared her throat. I took a step back and looked at her in sort of an apology. Then I stopped, no I'm evil, I'm not Summer anymore. I raised my head like I do.
" I'm here to...talk, " I said coldly and in a distant voice. Kai looked from Ellen to me and then to the floor. I rolled my eyes and entered the castle. Of course I got looks of fear and concern from people. I entered the main room to see my family, talking and pacing. I gulped, I was scared to be here. I saw Mum and Dad hugging each other. I smiled weakly and they turned and saw me. Others joined and said nothing. I hadn't noticed but Will and Kai followed me with a reluctant Ellen on their tails.
" She wants to talk, " Ellen said, she had a harsh tone yet a high pitched voice which irked me. I cleared my throat.
" I can speak for myself thank you very much, " I shot over my shoulder. She hugged Kai's arm and my whole body tensed. No, the Dark One doesn't love. I folded my arms. I was in my velvet dress, I got the style from Mum, pretty awesome to be honest. It was black, just black, with some jewels around the cuffs of the sleeves. Mum stepped towards me. We shared a knowing look, I didn't have to say anything.
" Summer, " she said under her breath. I nodded.
" Mum, " I said in the same lowered tone, " I'm sorry, " I said in a cracked voice. We hugged tightly. I missed her,
knowing she was there for me. I buried my head into her neck. I felt her smile and stroke my hair. Dad joined our hug, so did Henry, and Snow and Charming and Emma and Will and Kai. Ellen stood there awkwardly. The hug broke and I smiled at them all. I clutched my head. Thoughts of darkness ran through my mind. I crouched into a ball on the floor. I screamed, my heart was finally gaining control and the darkness was taking control again.
" Summer! " Henry wrapped himself around me. I continued to cry out. It hurt, having all of this in my head. My body and my soul were being ripped from each other, but who would stay and who would rot?
" It hurts! It hurts! Stop it! Just stop all of this! Get the darkness out! I don't like it! " I was complaining like a child but my tears couldn't be halted, " I'm here! It's me! Help! I love you! " I yelled. I then blacked out, maybe from so much action, all the yelling, or maybe everything that was going on inside of me. My head was pounding and my heart was racing but now it was all slowing down so I could sleep blissfully.
