It just ended in a flash..why didn't I see that? Everyone was under my control. I was to protect them. It was my duty. Why me?

Waking up. All there is, complete silence and the sound of the wind in the winters' cold. She stands up and coughs, waving hand in the air in front of her face to get rid of the smoke. She walks towards the ruins of the castle, running her fingers along the crystals it was made from. "Was this me? Where am I? This isn't me." Wandering around she leads herself into the crystal castle, finding a huge dent-like pit in the ground where another girl lays. She picks up the girl giving her a big hug
"why couldn't i save anyone? What happened? Why did this happen? This isn't the real me."
She gently lays the girls body against the wall, in case she soon awakens from this tragedy. As she says 'hello' it echoes throughout the whole ruins. As a scream echoed through she widens her eyes.
"Who's there?" She makes her way to the top of the ruins.

She reaches the top and all she sees in this glowing girl standing face to face with her, but her eyes were not to be shown.
"Who are you?" The girl smiles as weird black tentacle-like things come from behind her back, grabbing at the girl
"hey! Let me go you brat!"

Suddenly it's darkness, she looks around "where am I?" She asks as she floats in the nothing, voice echoing forever in the distance. Suddenly an angel appears and reaches a hand out towards her
"come with me, I'll show you the way". She seems confused at first, but slowly reaches her out hand and grabs the Angels'.
"Good." The angel says.
It's a white flash. She appears in a white, snowy place,  a little girl is giggling running around "momma! Look at me! I can fly!" The little girl, who appears to be an angel, begins flying around.
"I'm so proud of you!" The mother says as she smiles. The mother notices the other girl "...honey, come here..." The little girl runs over to her mother.
"Who are you..? Where am I?" The girl says in a sad and confused tone. "We're..Angels...this..is heaven..." The girls eyes widen.
"no! I can't be dead already! I didn't finish the fight!" The mother stands there in complete silence, holding her hands on her daughters' shoulders.
"I'm sorry miss..but once you enter..you can't leave..." The girl breaks down in tears.
"I wanna go home!" The mother stares at her "but we are home." The girl looks up at her "how..can you live like this.." The woman clears her throat a little
"because we do not live, we only feel." The girl seems very confused. She stares at the woman and asks.
"How can you feel..but not live? Is that possible..? Is this some trick..?! This isn't real!" The woman frowns and the girl curls into a ball on the floor, cheeks covered in tears.
"I'm truly sorry dear, but this is the way it has to be..there has to be someone around here that is a friend or relative." She kneels down to the girl, smiling and wiping her tears away. "Now come, we must find someone." she stands up and reaches her hand out.
"B-but..I can't be dead..I-I..." She sniffles and stares at her feet, wiping her eyes.
"This isn't real..." The woman tries to ignore her, she grabs her daughter's hand as she leads them to where all angels stayed around.
"Now, what is your full name dear?" She stops and turns to the girl, showing a gentle smile. "M-my name..? My name...m-my name is..I-is..." she gasps and all time freezes, leaving her alone in a dark endless place again.
"Who...am I? What's my name..? Why don't I know anything?! God damn it!" Silence took over. Suddenly a rippled image appears in front of her. It's her with her family, she still doesn't know anything, sadly. She's all confused and alone.
"Nothing makes sense anymore I don't get it! I don't! I give up! Let me go!" She cries out. She's lost the hope she wish she had.
"I give up..!"

Suddenly she appears in front of a hospital bed "what..?" When she looks up, she sees a woman laying there holding a baby, and a man standing at the bedside looking down at the woman and child.
"She's beautiful" the man says, the woman smiles and looks up at him.
"Let's call her Isabella." He smiles back at her. "It's a beautiful name." She gasps
" Isabella.." that's my name. I know it is. But why am I here? She thinks to herself.

She then appears in darkness. A variety of numbers and letters flicker in front of her and form a sentence.
"4 years later?"
Everything starts getting loud and she covers her face and curls up. Taking her hands off her face she looks around and finds herself outside in a playground.
"There I am! That's me! Wait.." her smile slowly fades to a frown as she realises the little girl was forced to sit alone in the playground as a butler watched her. She sighs, remembering all those years she was forced to spend alone, even if she was watched by the butler, he didn't do much. He had to follow the rules and orders made by the king.
"6 years later"
It's a birthday party. No one is there. I'm crying.
"Awe honey we're sorry none of your friends could come.. they must just be busy" the father says while standing from afar, standing next to the queen, his wife.
"Maybe next year" the wife walks over and rubs her back gently.
"No! Not next year! You said that last year and the year before! It'll never happen!" She runs off crying as the parents watch.
"It's for her own good." The father said.
"She's an ordinary child.. she doesn't want this royalty life." The mother replies.
"Maybe..she isn't right for the job.." they look at each other concerned.

"1 year later. I'm.. back at the hospital? She's in the bed again.. with.. a baby... I have a sibling?"

The baby is a little girl.
"Let's name her Emile" she looks concerned. "Emile..? I'm so confused!" She places her head in the palm of her hands and closes her eyes.
