Curse of a Dragon

Chapter 6

How exciting! The plot thickens and I really don't care that not a lot of people are reading this. I just enjoy writing it. So anyway, Viveca will narrate once more. Enjoy!

Viveca Cornela

      Who does she think she is? She's not the queen.

      A thousand thoughts ran through my head. I felt dizzy and off balence. This day definately did not go as planned.

     "Go. You are no longer welcome here." As soon as she, my own damn sister, said that to me, I just lost control.

     "Shut up! Just shut up!" The entire kingdom grew silent. They backed away from me as if a ball of fire was going to escape from my mouth. "I heard you the first time. And you got what you wanted. I'll leave. I never wanted to be queen anyway!" The anger made me burn up on the inside.

    Suddenly, yelling wasn't enough. My flesh burned with a fiery and I jist had to let it go. "If you do return you will be pun--"

     "Stop!" Tounges of flames escaped from my hands sending a line of blazing fire to seperate me from everyone else. Everyone screamed and shied away from the island of fire.

     "I told you that you are a danger to yourself. You didn't even know you could do that, did you?" Damn why does she have to be right. The fire shooting out of my hands is new. It wasn't even painful. I refrained from staring blankly at my hands and turned around and walked towards the wooden gate.

    There's nothing left to say. I have no more words to throw at Idla. The gates slammed behind me as soon as I stepped out of the kingdom. This is not how I'm going to leave my home. The feeling engulfed me and I raised my hand up towards the gate and let out a blazing line of fire. Screams followed as the wood crackled and was burnt to a tender crisp. That will show 'em.

-------------------------------------

     Who does she think she is, to have the authority to order me around like I'm her pet? She's two years younger than me! This isn't fair. With Idla as queen, the kingdoms are sure to go to war with the Supernaturals. I wanted to propose a treaty to end this pointless war, not start one.

     Ranting about my sister isn't going to get me anywhere. I'm on my own now. I remember when I couldn't wait to leave, but since I am--was--a royal, I was obligated to stay with my parents. I never knew that being alone would feel like this.

     The sun began to set and the moon took its place in the sky. I don't know how long I've been walking. It feels like hours. But how long did the party last?

     Just thinking of the party brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't take it anymore. I collapsed to my knees in utter defeat. There's nothing more for me to do. I tucked my hands underneath my pits trying to keep warm. This leather jacket that I picked up from some person's yard isn't very insulated. The jeans are. And the shoes surprisingly fit. I just wish that the white shirt was made of a thicker material.

    Just as wanted to cry, but didn't want to embarrass myself even though nobody's around, the atmosphere seemed to reflect with my mood. It started to snow. A very heavy snow at that. I could really use a hat right about now. My ears were bitter cold and my body was frozen from the icey air. It may be April, but there is snow on the ground. Did I do this. "Oh what, am I witch too?" I said aloud to the sky. Look what I've become. A poor girl talking to the sky like it's her friend. Pathetic.

    What did I ever do to deserve this? I never asked to be cursed! I've been keeping it a secret for so long, and hadn't had an incident in a while. That streak was broken to today. Why didn't the damn charm work? It never fails me.

     I couldn't let them know. But now, they all know. So what's the point of keeping it suppressed any longer? There isn't one.

     My hand grasped the charm tightly into a firm fist; and the next thing I know, the string snaps violently in my ears. I threw the charm to the ground burrying it with the rest of my past.

      It was as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I'm free. No more rules to follow. No right or wrong descions. They can't tell me who I can and can't be anymore.

      Embracing my inner Supernatural made me feel so alive. For a moment, just a moment, all my worries washed away. I can do anything. I can sing at to the heavens above and nobody will be around to judge me. "No more concealing it. Just accept it. Feel its strength." I said aloud with such confidence.

     "You know what? I'm glad you exiled me! I don't need you to tell me what to do! I'm free! So thank you!" I shouted back towards the direction of the kingdom.

     Time to set it free. I held out my hand toward the tree in front of me and felt that warm feeling escape from my fingers and palm. The tree instantly started on fire, melting the snow around it. That felt good. I moved my hands in different motions sending more and more flames to ignite around me. There's nobody here to stop me.

    I feel so empowered so happy. This may be the happiest I've ever felt. I let out another ball of fire, this time, as it scorced the shrubbery around it, I closed my hand and formed a tight fist; as I did so, the fire cooled and turned into a hot, stable molten rock sediment. "I didn't know I could do that." This is amazing! How did I not know about this?

    As the fire blazed around me, I finally realised what I could do. I can do whatever I want. And I know what I'm going to do now. Little miss perfect is gone. Time to do something for myself for once in my life.

    I'm going to join the Supernatural army.
