The Story of Legends and Quest

Chapter Thirty Five - The Town Made of Rainbows...

"Oy, Lily, wake up!" Luna told me, shaking me. Causing me to almost fall off the bed.

"Uuuuggghhhhh, what is it? I'm nappppppppping!" I whined and groaned, stuffing my face into a pillow.

"Get your lazy butt UP!" She yelled, pulling me off the bed.

"GAH--" My face slammed into the floor, the pain shot through my body and I screamed.

Luna rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Well Hello Floor, fancy meeting you here." I joke, getting up and facing Luna.

"Nice Pants." I said, she had baggy cameo pants on.

"Thanks. Anyway, I'm here to say Cya. Going to my hometown with Zero, begged me to take him there. Couldn't say no. When I show him it, he'll never want to go back anyway..."

"Whhhhaaattt? Dangit, everyone is leaving with their future husbands. Sonia needs to take me some where! Awe, but he's still healing and I don want to hurt him even more. Maybe Koji will take me somewhere--"

"I didn't come to hear your life problems. Bye, don't get yourself killed while I'm gone." She left the room. Not saying anything else.

I decided I should really visit Sonia and see how he doing. I walked towards the door, leaving.

Kat walked into the dungeon. A tray of food in her hands, she opened the cage and walked into where Chester was being held.

"I-I brought you dinner..!" Kat said, laughing awkwardly afterwards.

Chester didn't say anything. He just looked up with Blank eyes, then looked back down at the floor.

Kat bent down and sat the tray down. "I picked out today's food..! It's a Hamburger, fires, and some tea. Uh. Sweet tea, I-is that alright?"

Chester stayed silent.

"Chester..! Say something. Please."

Not a word came out of his mouth.

Kat didn't say anything after that, she left his food there and left the room. Not saying another word to him.

Alex was at the food table, stuffing her face with different candies. Everyone stared at her like she didn't belong there, but she didn't care.

Romeo approached her, laughing at the way she was acting. "Are you enjoying the food?" He asked, smiling to himself

"Yes! Its SOOOOO good! Can I take some with me? Pretty please..!? With frosted cookies on top?!"

"Of course, Alex. Why don't you dance with me?"

"O-oh! Me? Reeeaaalllllyyy? Totally! Let's dance!" Alex eyes sparkled, honored that Romeo was kind enough to dance with her.

They made their way to the dance floor, all the other women glared jealously at Alex. Who was oblivious and didn't notice.

Except, Romeo noticed. Smirking at the women who stared at Alex with rage. He found it funny.

"Alex, Do you like my kingdom?"

"Yes! I love love love it!~" Alex squealed, smiling.

"That's good. Wait here." Romeo left Alex alone, walking near the thrones. He took a glass and a spoon, tapping the glass to get everyone's attention.

"Good evening everyone! I have a special announcement to  make, I have decided who my Queen will be!"

All the girls squealed, fixing their hair, redoing their make-up, acting like they knew they were going to be picked.

"Alex Bubbles! Alex, darling, please step onto the stage."

Alex's eyes widen. Her mouth dropped open, she quickly made her way to Romeo. Who pulled her into a hug. "Lets go to my room, Queen Alex."

Alex nodded, in a very shy way. She looked down, not making eye contact with the other women. They arrived at Romeo's room.

Romeo shut and locked  the door. "So no one barges in on us." he told her, sitting down on his couch.

"Romeo, I can't be a Queen. I'm the leader of an alliance and I have a job at Blade. Being a Queen is not, and never will be, on my bucket list."

"Oh Alex!~ Someone else can rule your alliance. You're my Queen now! Isn't that great? Not many people are as lucky as you."

"Did you invite me here just to make me your wife? I'm still only seventeen! I-i..."

"And I'm eighteen, no one will care! I know people who have been married at the age of fourteen!"

"R-Romeo..! I can't."

"You can."

Romeo eyes filled with determination. He stood up, walking to Alex and pulling her into a hug.

"You like me and you know it." He told her.

"Romeo, please, find someone who actually wants to be a Queen."

"You'll like it here."

"No I won't!"

Romeo frowned, he never thought he'd be rejected.

Alex pushed him off of her, she walked towards the door. About to open it.

Romeo slammed his hand on it, causing it to stay shut. "I wouldn't leave if I were you!~"

"Aki!~"

Luna sighed, using her arm to wipe away some sweat off her forehead.

"We're almost there, Zero." She told the boy, who was itching to get there as soon as possible.

"Yay! I can't wait to get there, I bet its made of rainbows!"

"Zero, that isn't possible-- Oh. We're here."

Zero's eyes lit up, he looked in the direction Luna was looking, expecting to see a bundle of joy as a town.

But instead, he was greeted with a dark, gloomy, and scary town.

"Been a while. Dang, they've added more houses. Lets go Zero."

Zero stared in shock, after snapping back to reality he followed Luna into the town.

Everything he saw was gloomy. Even the townfolks didn't smile. They simply stared at the passing visitors and went back to work.

"Wonder who would become the mayor of THIS dump." Luna spat, turning left.

"Y-You grew up here...?" Zero asked, wondering how a child could live in such a town.

"Yeah. Well. This place wasn't always like this, it used to be... made of rainbows of happiness. But after the murders this place changed. A lot."

Zero shut his mouth after that, they stopped at a hotel and rented a room.

While Luna was in the shower, Zero went out and bought some books about the town and its past.

He was going to learn everything he could.
