Summer again

Chapter 12

'You will never win!' The icy voice of the Ice Queen rang out. I was in a throne room covered with snow and ice. When I looked around I noticed the only people in the room were my friends and I, the Ice Queen was no where in sight.

'Where are you, come out and fight us!' I heard myself yell. Laughter echoed off the walls and the Ice Queen appeared sitting on a throne made completely out of ice. I drew my sword as Flora ans Sarel raised their bow notching an arrow. I watched as Aidan took out his knife and Aspen formed a double sided ax out of ice. She laughed more and Flora and Sarel let loose of their arrows, but before it reached the Ice Queen's chest she froze the arrows with ease making them fall to the ground.

'My turn.' She smiled evilly. She raised her hand and shards of ice flew towards Flora and Sarel. Neither one had time to react before the ice hit every vital part of their body. They fell to the floor, their blood pooling under them soaking into the snow around them. They were dead.

Aidan charged towards the Ice Queen but didn't make it far before he was entombed in a block of ice. I screamed as tears filled my eyes, I watched as Aspen took his turn. He made it to her but was quickly stopped by her hand around his throat. She was choking him. I watched as he gasped for air.

'I'm gonna destroy this world like it destroyed me.' She muttered before she let go of Aspens neck and he fell lifeless to the floor. I let out a loud scream as I fell to the floor and tears flooded my eyes. I had lost everyone, i had no one.

The Ice Queen turned her eyes toward me as if she realized I was still here. She walked over towards me, looking at me as if I was a bug. She bent down grabbing my chin forcing me to look at her. Her eye stared into soul making me feel worthless.

'You have lost.' She whispered before she stood up straight putting her palm to my head. Ice flew from her palm into my skull.

I bolted up screaming. Both Aspen and Aidan rushed towards me kneeling down looking at me very concerned.

"What's wrong?" They ask in unison.

"Nothing it was just a nightmare." I lied. I stood up shakily and walked over to where Sarel was making breakfast.

"Good morning Miss Lavender." Sarel said as he handed me some fruit and toast.

"Good morning." I responded giving him a fake smile as I took the fruit and toast from his hand.

After we ate we continued climbing up the mountain. I placed my arms around Aspen's shoulders and he started to climb after everyone got far enough up.

"Lav?" Aspen whispered.

"Yeah?" I answered him.

"Are you alright? You don't seem yourself this morning." He asked turning his head to look at me.

"It was just a nightmare. A really scary and sad nightmare." I stated my eyes filled with tears. I turned my head so he could see that I wanted to cry. I wanted to turn around but I knew it was too late to turn around now, I have to protect them all my new friends.

"Okay you now you could tell me anything, right?"

"Yeah. Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Are you scared?" I asked him.

"Definitely, you'd be crazy if your not." He said giving a small chuckle.

"Oh..."

We continued to climb in silence the rest of the way, every so often I would look up and notice Aidan looking down at me with a worried expression on his face.

"Sarel, I'm worried about Lav." I told him as climbed.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"She been bothered by that dream all morning and she seems... different." I responded.

"Flora, I agree. We just need to be there for her when she does want to talk about everything, especially her best friend." He points out. I nod my head before looking down and saw that Aspen and Lavender were talking. She looked like she wanted to cry, to scream out for help. I wanted to know what was going through her mind to give her a hug and tell her everything was going to be alright, but I couldn't I can't make her a promise I couldn't keep.
