In Battle With Time (Reylo Fanfiction) Sequel To Trust The Stars #TheWattys2016

The king's offer

Dorothylla's POV:

I am running on a soft green grass, my bare feet caressing against the plant. I feel the warm sun gently petting my round face, welcoming me into the day. The morning is enchanting, and I feel like running even more into the sea of endless colorful flowers that look like a rainbow bridge. Suddenly I feel a warm hand wrap against my body, holding me tightly. I close my eyes and inhale his smell deeply.

"Papa." I whisper into his ear. "I want to play with you."

"Soon, honey." I feel him leave, turning towards the endless fields behind him. He smiles warmly, his eyes sparkling on the golden sunlight.

"No! Don't go! Where is mum?" I cry out, now running towards him. His back is turned towards me, his long legs speeding up their pace, but when he heard me plead, he stopped.

"Soon, honey...soon we will meet again...together." I have an urge to go, to catch him, and hug him, but my leg feel motionless, and my body feels numb. He starts walking, his silhouette becoming a shadow. I am scared, I am alone, and I don't know what to do, but scream.

"No! Come back! Mom, Dad!" My screams seem like they are muted, shouted in an empty space. I scream endlessly till I understand that my lungs can't hold such pressure any more. I look down at my feet, and see that they are wrapped in long wooden branches, filled with...with thorns. Then when I glance back towards the rainbow fields, they no longer exist. Everything suddenly seems dead. The plants are drooping, the sun is covered with thick dark clouds that threaten to start raining every second. The whole area is surrounded by the eruption of the thunders, and I can't escape. This is the end...

Noisy knocking on the door, woke me up from my nightmare. For the first time in my life I was happy that the guards came. I got up from the messy and dirty bed of mine, soaked in sweat and tears. My hair was a mess too, and my clothes started to wear out. I glanced at uncle Luke, whose eyes seemed more weary than ever. He must have been awake all night. I steeped on the cold floor with my bare feet to reach him. I signed, as the freezing floor bite my feet. I started searching for my shoes, that must be down there somewhere, but stopped when the guards entered the room.

"You must come with us, missy." One of them said. I narrowed my eyes angrily.

"Don't call me missy!" I finished my sentence, but they just smiled evilly and wrapped their icy hands around my arms. Soon they were dragging me in the halls, till once again I found myself in the throne room. The king was already there, sitting comfortably in his large throne.

"Dorothylla, my child." He commented in his deep voice.

"Your...majesty. You wished to speak with me, what so?" He nodded. His giant crown resting on his head. It is made of gold and diamonds, I think it also has a ruby, and few pearls. It looks vintage.

"I wanted to speak with you about your situation. It is time, you get out of that nasty prison..."

"You put me there!" I yelled.

"Well, that is right, but I had to. Now I want to fix things, and give you something that is rightfully yours. Your title. You are a princess, Dorothylla and I want to make you an official one, I want to show you and announce you in front of the people of Amerath." He clapped with his palms two times and a guard in shiny golden armor entered the room. In his hands he holds a fancy purple pillow with something covered on it. The king gave a nod and the guard moved the cloak from the object. I gasped when I saw a beautiful shining tiara with sparkling diamonds. It is an every girl's dream to wear one of those on their head.

"It is yours if you take the title, and become the heir to the throne." He said smirking. I closed my open mouth and looked at him. For a moment I came back to the reality and thought about the meaning behind that magnificent headgear.

"And what about the others?" His smile faded from his lips, and his eyes became serious.

"What do you mean?"

"What will happen to uncle Luke, Mom, Dad and grandmother Leia?"

"Well, I hope you mother will return her old title as well, while for the others they will return to their miserable planet." I remembered the dream I had today, my dad said soon, that must mean that he will come to get me out of here.

"And what will happen if I refuse?"

"Then I will destroy your whole father's family, and you will never see him again, and you will not be able to, because he will not survive the attack I plan. He is on his way to reach you, but I have my troops prepared, they already have their hawk eyes on his ship. So what is it? Do you accept to be a princess?"

I stared at his icy eyes, tears in mine. My heart is beating rapidly inside my chest, making my breathing harder. Maybe this is connected to the second part of the dream, and no I mustn't let that happen.

"I...I...accept." I shut my eyes tightly, frightened by my own words.

Hi guys, how are you all? :D

I came back from my trip to Corfu, and I feel fantastic. The sea and the atmosphere relaxed and refreshed me.

Here is the new chapter, hope you enjoy it. Dorothylla, accepted to become a princess. What do you think will happen next? Leave me your thoughts bellow in the comment section.

Much love,
