Nicky

Chapter 15

7 Years Later

****

I'm now a twenty-five year old adult. Jordan and I have fallen deeper in love and I am now where I can become queen of the reality. We haven't heard much about Kanthar but he's still out there, somewhere. I've grown stronger and learned how to use my ability, all in secret with Jordan. Hardly anyone knows that me and Jordan are in love and that we are both very special beings. 

"Hey, wake up." A voice said as I was dreaming. I felt an arm touch my shoulder and shake me a little. I slowly opened my eyes to see Jordan with a huge smile across his face. "It's time." It was indeed time. Today was the day that my mother and father step down and I step up. 

Recently though, I've been having server migraines and cramps. My body felt like it was under attack by something. I've gone to the doctor a few times and not even they can figure it out. A migraine started to seize my head once more. I bent over clutching my head in pain. Then, a cramp began in my left calf. I tried to keep my scream in as pain roared through my body. 

"Are you ok?" Jordan asked. My hormones quickly kicked in. 

"Does it look like I'm OK?!" I yelled. He moved his head back a little, raising his hands in front of him.

"Ok ok, I'm sorry, what can I do?" 

"Just..leave me be!" I demanded. I really didn't know what I was saying. Typically when this happened, my mind just goes berserk. 

"I can't leave you to be in pain like this." Jordan said. 

"I don't care, just leave me be!" What was I saying? I Didn't want him to leave, nor was I angry at him. AT times, I didn't think that it was even me speaking or in control of my mind. 

"Ok then, I'll go. Just make sure you get ready for today, princess." And he just walked out, dissapointed. I felt so bad for him. I don't know what's happening to me, but it just gets worse and worse. 

"Don't worry, it'll all be over soon." A voice said. I got up from my bed in a panic. I started to breath heavily as I looked around. 

"Hehe, relax, I'm just the same as you." I couldn't figure out where that voice was coming from. Was it in my head? 

"Of course I'm in your head." 

Wait...how did it-

"No more questions. You're here to help me." Who are you? So many questions started flooding into my mind. 

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that I need your help."

"With what?" I said out loud. Little did I realize that as soon as this...voice rose up, my pain was gone.

"You're going to become queen today, yes?" 

"Yeah...?"

"I need your help with your powers since you will have rule over the reality." I couldn't make any sense as to why this was happening in the first place. I walked over to my mirror to look at myself. I still looked the same, nothing changed. "You can't get in trouble as you are the highest rank." He explained. My door suddenly opened,it was Jordan. 

"You ready? It's almost time for you to come out." He said, expecting me to yell at him.

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute." I said. He looked scared and sad and for that, I ran up to him and hugged him. "I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't know what I was doing." I hugged him tighter.

"It's ok." He said as he placed his hand on my head. His finger ran through my hair gently but smoothly. "I'll let you get dresses now." He let go of my and shut my door as he walked out. I quickly ran over and grabbed my best looking white dress. I fixed my hair up and slipped on white heels. 

I checked myself in the mirror one last time and headed out. I tried hard not to think anything about the voice as it could somehow read my thoughts. I made my way through the halls where the guards stood up tall and straight. Jordan was nowhere to be seen, until I got into the massive church like room. 

There was a middle row and to the sides, long benches where everyone sat. As soon as I walked in, all heads turned back onto me. At the end of the hall, my mother and father sat next to each other on their thrones with Jordan in front of them. I slowly walked down the row towards my parents. When I reached Jordan, he had his mask on, but I could see a smile behind it. I walked passed him, looking down with a grin on my face.

My mother and father stood up and I stopped. They both took off their crowns simultaneously and placed them on fluffy red pillows. On of the servants held the pillow in between me and my mother. The other just held the pillow with my dad's crown or what used to be. My mother grabbed the tiara again and I slowly bowed my head. She gently placed the tiara onto my head. 

"I now pronounce thy, Queen Nicky of the Balance reality!" Everyone began to cheer. I was now queen...me, queen. I saw my sister, Dakota, sitting in the first row, standing up, clapping as a tear rolled down her cheek with a bright smile. We were there for each other almost every step of the way. I looked over at Jordan, who too was clapping and realized something. I need to make a new rule.

"Stop!" I demanded. The room grew quiet with muttering. "As queen now, I shall place my first action. Parents may only have control over their children until the age of eighteen. Meaning after, a no longer child may choose their own decisions and their own life that they wish." At the sound of this rule, almost everyone gasped.

"And with that, I choose my long time friend, Jordan Kiseki to be the new King of the reality and to obviously also become my husband." Even more gasps and muttering rose up from the crowd. My parents were beyond disbelief. Jordan himself seemed a little shocked at this. The servant holding my dads crown walked over to Jordan with a shocked face. My dad was now forced to walk over and place his crown on his own lead guard's head. 

Nobody knew until this point about our secret love. I walked over, gave Jordan a peck on the cheek and sat down in m rightful throne. Jordan sat down in his now throne. I couldn't believe at what I just did. But it was all over with now. I'm finally queen with the love of my life, King Jordan. We now rule this reality.

"Little do you know it wont be for long." The voice said. It started to let out an evil laugh. The laugh got louder and louder. I started to feel dizzy and everything started to slowly go black. I faintly heard Jordan yelling my name and people screaming and I closed my eyes. 

"Nicky! Nickyyy!" Jordan yelled. Right before I closed my eyes all the way, I saw my mom crying in my fathers arms. My eyes slowly closed all the way, and I was asleep.
