The Never Twins *ON HOLD FOR EDITING*

Chapter 7

Long time no see.... i was caught up in school and after school activities... and myself... so yeah, procrastination and I are officially... anyway... here goes nothing..

**** Warning: in the very first chapter, or prologue or what ever you may want to call it, mary jane said that Nyx has healing abilities, but than in another chapter where she had to do something for Foxxe she said that she wasn't really good at healing, well we fixed that and i just wanted to make any confused individuals who read that before we fixed it know that Nyx has fighting abilities. She knows every fighting skill and style known to man. She can use any sort of weapon. However, she is not a healing fairy. At the same time, she can purify and heal things to an extent because of her elemental abilities. I just wanted to clear that up real quick, thank you ****

Passed out, again. There has to be something about passing out that my sister must love. That's the only explanation as to why Foxxe fainted as I was walking into the room; asking me to save some random fairy that I have never seen before. Truthfully, the only fairy in that whole room that looked familiar to me in some way, shape, or form was Foxxe.

Grasping the situation from the whispers in the wind, I raced to Foxxe's side to take a look at my patient. He seemed to be only a little bit older than me and Foxxe, but looks didn't count for much in the age factor. He may have only looked about five years older, but he gave off an air of being older, eternal, and wrong. Sweat plastered his short choppy brown hair to his forward. I could smell the sweet scent of the poison rising off the man. Taking the air around his body I created  a sort of barrier. Making sure that no matter what the poison couldn't spread, even if someone happened to touch him. I took the ingredients out of my idiotic sister's hands and finished combining them like she had once taught me to do. I gave the stranger the antidote and checked out Foxxe to see if she was ok. The dog in the middle of the floor gave me this look as if to say she was fine, but I had an issue trusting others. 

"She is fine, you needn't worry," said a strange voice that I have never heard before. I looked up to see the face of yet another stranger. "My name is Vex, you need not be frightened child." All I could do was smirk at that. I wasn't frightened, not in a long shot. No, it wasn't fear that drudged up out of the darkest recesses of my soul. It was dread. Dread was seeping out of me, from the realization that everyone in that room felt different, unnatural. They felt like me, Foxxe, the queen, and that was dangerous. Especially after the meeting I just came back from with said queen.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"NYX! WE HAD A DEAL! YOU WATCH YOUR SISTER AND I LEAVE YOU GUYS ALONE! OR WAS I HALLUCINATING THAT WHOLE CONVERSATION THE LAST TIME YOUR SISTER TOOK ONE OF MY FAIRIE'S SHADOW?" shrieked the queen at the top of her lungs.

"No, your majesty, you weren't hallucinating," I replied.

She just sighed and stared at me wearily. It was moments like these that I questioned her. I questioned everything about her. Ever since we were born it was clear to me that my sister seemed to loathe the queen. She hated her with every fiber in her body, and it always seemed to be mutual. At times it feels like that passionate hatred the queen has for Foxxe, she has for me as well. Other times, such as the moment right now, where she gazes down at me with those sagging lips and tired eyes, I can't help but feel a sort of connection with her. As if times where better and we weren't who we are at this very moment in time, we would be the best of friends, sisters even. It is moments like that that has stopped me from disliking the woman in front of me right now.

"Alright Nyx, follow me," she said, as she descended from her throne. "There is something I would like to show you."

Doing as she wished, I followed her out of the throne room and into the hallway, which turned into another hallway, and another, and another. We took so many turns that I was lost; however, I naturally have a horrible sense of direction. What made it even worse, was that each hallway we turned into looked exactly the same. The only difference was that each was colder than the last.

After what I estimated to be a half hour, we arrived in a hallway that was so cold even I shivered. This hallway, unlike the rest, led to a door that was frozen shut. A large slab of ice, that would take an experienced ice fairy months to break through, crept up from underneath the door and folded over it, encasing it.

I started to inch toward the door, curious about what it was guarding, when all of a sudden my blood started to boil. I started seeing red and the tips of my wings started changing colors. The queen just stared at me, patiently waiting for something that I couldn't understand to happen. Rage seemed to pour into my veins and take control of mind. YOU! WHY ARE YOU HERE? ARE YOU MOCKING ME, SISTER?  Something, no someone seemed to be inside of my head.  AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, YOU CHOOSE TO VISIT ME NOW. WHAT IS IT SISTER? CAN YOU SENSE ME REGAINING MY STRENGTH? WELL GOOD! BECAUSE I SHALL TAKE YOU OVER; YOU AND FOXXE BOTH!

I was shaking, transforming. I could feel my body steadily grow colder as my rage grew stronger. I chanced a look at the  queen, only for my rage to spark up to a new extent. That's when I realized, this isn't my rage. Never in my life have I ever wished to kill the queen. No matter how much she angered me, patronized me, there was always something in me that wanted to just understand her. To befriend her. To learn why she has always acted like she hated me. I couldn't hurt a fly, what  made me think I could kill the queen.

With that realization clear on my mind, I started to fight. With everything I had, I fought to regain my mind, my body.  HAHAHHAHAHHAH! YOU THINN YOU CAN FIGHT ME OFF. THAT'S ADORABLE. YOU ARE ADORABLE. BUT FINE. FOR NOW, I SHALL LET YOU GO. I WILL GIVE YOU FALSE HOPE. I WILL LET YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE WON FOR NOW. BUT JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET OUT OF HERE; AND I WILL GET OUT. I WILL KILL YOU AND FOXXE. I WILL PARADE THE QUEEN AROUND AS THE PEASANT SHE TRULY IS, AND I WILL TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE! 

The anger receded. My wings changed back to their original color. The queen came over and pulled me up off the floor and whispered into my ear, "I wanted you here to experience that. Maybe that experience will start to egg on your memories. Maybe they won't. Either way, I want you to know that I trust you. That is why I gave you and Foxxe all those chances. I asked you to watch her over and over again. But you keep failing. You may not remember our friendship, but I do. It is because of this friendship that I will say this to you. Foxxe is no longer welcome in my kingdom. If I see her face again I will be forced to kill her. So go. Go to Foxxe, for I know you will not stay in this realm without your twin. But please, I beg of you, be careful. She may be your sister, but there are things she is not telling you."

With that, the queen pushed me back on the ground and walked toward the throne. Leaving me to figure out the maze of moving hallways, so that I could return to my sister.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I now sit in a chair watching Foxxe rest, waiting to tell her the news about her exile. My mind can't help but rethink about the queen's last words to me, and wonder what she meant by them. The longer I think about them the more confused I become.I know not what she was talking about, but I do know one thing. Out of everything she told me, one thing rung true.

My sister was hiding something. Something I had no idea about. It was evident in how much she wanted to save that poisoned stranger earlier. It seemed as if everyone knows something that I don't. Well at least now my sister isn't the only one with a secret. That experience I had at the castle, that is my secret. It may just be my stubbornness or my pride, but I will never reveal what happened earlier or just how much it actually scared me.
