Everlasting

The Everlasting

Flesh.

The smell that hits my nose, is the flesh of my children and myself. I slowly start to sit up, taking in the view of what shows before me. I shudder at the fact that while I'm alive, my children are dead. Fresh hot tears fall from my eyes. As they make their way down my face they leave a burning sensation down my cheeks. I bite down on my lip trying to stop myself from burning. When I wipe my eyes someone comes in.

" They Everlasting will see you now, Element."

I look at him as he calls me that.

" My name is not 'Element'. It is Queen Rosemarie to you, and any other who are less than me."

I stand tall and grasp my dress into my hands. As I walk pass him though, I freeze his toes with dry ice for a second. He automatically grabs his feet as if he has been burned.

Not yet. Soon though he will be.

Ever whispers in my mind. I smirk at that, knowing that I can't show all of my powers yet. I continue to walk, knowing where he wants me to go.

When I finally arrive at the study room, I let myself in. Awaiting me is the Everlasting. What sits before me is a creature that is covered in smog and soot, flames coming from around and on him. I gag and cough, the smog engulfing my lungs. As I stumble towards it, I hear it speak towards me.

" Well, Element. What have you been doing my love?"

I look deep into its eyes showing him that I am not afraid. Sadly, he notices my hesitation. He comes closely towards me while lighting fire in his path. He gets extremely close to me and suddenly snaps his fingers. I look behind me to see my best friends Angelica and Elizabeth, with Damon by my side. I turn towards the creature only to be met by his hands.

" Sleep."

I fall limp to the ground with my friends screaming for me. I open my eyes to be met with my mother's empty soulless ones. A tear spills from my eyes as I see her like this.

" Why are you alive?!"

She yells at me with so much hatred. I look at her and a sob escapes my mouth as I recognize what is happening.

" You're trying to kill me. Aren't you, Mother?"

She looks at me and bows. A small smile makes its way onto her lips as she rises. I make all of my tears leave as she stands straight again.

" Why?! Have I not treated you like a Queen?! Have I not given you the title of Queen?! Have I not been a good daughter?! I have done everything you asked of me!"

My anger rises as she still stands there smiling. She walks closer to me trying to intimidate me, but she fails. She looks me in the eyes, not blinking.

" I never asked you for anything, Element. Nor did I say that you could do anything to prevent this."

I walk towards her and grab her face in my hands. Her skin starts to turn into coal as I squeeze harder. A few strangled gasps escape her mouth as I squeeze even harder. She starts to kneel down, so I lean down with her, never leaving eye contact.

" Have you forgotten, Destruction? I control you, and everything else in this planet. Don't mistaken my kindness as a weakness. I can destroy any and everything that exists, that includes you and Everlasting."

" I am going to kill you, Destruction. So let this be a lesson to anyone who is listening in on this precious conversation. I will kill anyone that every hurts my children and people. I am willing kill anyone or thing that so much as thinks that you can try to control me. I am not some little pet that will obey. You will kneel to me, for I am your Queen."

Destruction is now twitching in my hands from the force I have on her. She is completely coal that I smash in my hand. I turn to see several " people" in front of me. Some kneel while one other stays standing. I walk over to him, close enough to whisper into his ear.

" I am going to kill you. No matter what you do no matter where you hide, I will always find you, Everlasting."

" Then be prepared for war a, Element."

" It's Mother Nature to you."

I walk back into the middle and let thorns engulf me. As I open my eyes I see Destruction on the ground, ash and soot still on her. I walk over her and pass my friends. It's time for a war.
