To Kill A Queen

Only A Day's Journey

Glass shrugged and helped Shadow over a rock where she helped him lay down. He was muttering under his breath and Glass laughed. I noticed Red was gone. I looked around in the trees and spotted her.

"Red! What are you doing up there?!"

"Seeing how far away from the Feary Queen's palace we are! And we are- "

Her voice was cut off by something and I looked up to see Moonlight up there. I chuckled and started to climb the tree. About five minutes later, I made it to where the two other girls were.

"-are you really up here?" Moonlight was asking Red.

"To find a place to sleep and see how far away from the Feary Queen's palace we are."

I looked back and forth between them. They were trying to hide it but they had small smiles on their faces. Moonlight was sitting in the shadows, her face concealed.

"How far away are we?" I asked.

"Only about a day. I'm gonna go tell Pandora. She bought some rocks back in the village where we met you and she hasn't used them yet."

I nodded and she climbed down as I turned to Look at Moonlight.

"How did you get up here so fast?"

She shrugged. "You have wind. I have hyperactivity. I can move around the molecules of my body and almost teleport to different places."

"Huh. Is it fun?"

"Is using your power fun?"

"I-I don't use it all that often. It makes me stand out from everyone else."

She looked at me like I was stupid. I didn't catch on so I guess I was.

"You idiot." She said. "We all have something special about us. Use it whenever you can." She shook her head and growled. "Dammit. I've been hanging out with you all for to long. I'm going soft."

And with that, she climbed down the tree to go meet the rest of the group. I sighed. They could never know the truth of why I really don't use my power. I looked up at the darkening sky.

Red's POV

I was climbing down the tree when I got to a really sturdy branch. This would be a good place to sleep. I wondered how I missed this before but shrugged and went back to the trunk. I kept climbing down. I finally reached the bottom. I found Pandora and walked over to her.

"We're about a days walk from the palace."

She nodded and walked away, bringing out the rocks she had bought so long ago.

"Thank you. I'll be right back."

 I tilted my head and decided to follow her. She walked until she came across a place with almost no wildlife but there were leaves everywhere. She set the rocks down in a perfect circle and sat down in the middle.

She started to chant and the rocks glow, casting a purple dome over her. She kept chanting as I walked away. What the hell was that?

Moonlight's POV

I climbed down the tree after Red. Sonic and Moonwolf were down there to meet me. I got to the ground and realized that the sun was shinning directly on my face. I pulled my hood over my head. I found Sonic arguing with Moonwolf.

"No, we shouldn't leave." Sonic said.

"I disagree." Moonwolf countered. "She's gone soft and she's actually being nice."

I wondered why they hadn't noticed me. I realized that I was completely hidden by the shadows.

"Why is that a bad thing?" Sonic said.

"Because you can't go around making friends with everyone and still have a bad reputation." I said, stepping out of my hiding spot.

Moonwolf looked over me and did a fake bow. I glared at him and looked at Sonic.

"Do you want to leave?"

"No. Moonwolf wants to though. He thinks you've gone soft." 

She looked at the male wolf and I grinned.

"We'll leave when these people no longer need us. We're about a days journey away from the Feary Queen's palace. It's getting dark out. We better lay down."

Diana had overheard us and shouted: "EVERYBODY! GO TO SLEEP! WE HAVE TO LEAVE AT FIRST LIGHT TOMORROW!"

I layed down with Moonwolf on my left. I closed my eyes, and dreams came.

I was standing in a throne room with some chick in the middle. She had green wings and long black hair. She opened her eyes and she had bright green eyes. I guessed she was a nature feary. I noticed another person in the room. It was Blair...
