LONG LIVE THE QUEEN
••••♛••••

I zoned out of my trance like state, staring at the dead body on the ground.

And I felt nothing.

This was what happens every time I used my powers, I kill someone and lose a little bit of myself to this darkness inside of me, that it becomes addicting.

It felt good enough I wanted to do it again.

I wanted to burn Minister Ipal eyes out.

I wanted to snap Minister Kelling neck in half.

The desire was still there, and it took so much for me to hold myself back....

"Aura!" I heard my name get called out, walking me up from another nightmare.

"Casey?"

"Are you okay? I was standing guard outside and heard you screaming." He says worried before standing attention next to my bed.

"I'm fine. Sorry I just..."

I didn't know what that was. It felt all to real, and I also didn't fail notice how this started after I began using my powers lately.

"Nerves...it's coronation day." He reminds me with a small smile.

"Argh, I almost forgot." I said with a grin. It was morning and the sun was seeping through the huge windows of my bedroom.

"Im surprised you woke me, I expected Fiona to be up commanding-"

"I said, 50 lilacs not 500! Where am I suppose to put all these. Why isn't anybody doing their jobs!" I heard Fiona scream out, walking through my chambers with her pod in her hand.

"Oh your awake, good! So much to do, I've got your bath ready, your coronation robe prepared, your maids are coming to do your hair and makeup...we don't have time to waste so come on!" She shouted really fast. Pulling Casey out the door with her.

She clicked away at her pod, before turning towards me.

"By the way, Harv said he found something. He's in your study- along with that witch of a Minister." She told me, walking our fast shouting out other instructions.

I jumped out of bed, happy to hear of the news as I grabbed my robe and wrapped it around me walking towards the study.

The guards opened the door, as I saw Harv, Holgan and Ipal waiting in a tension filled room.

"Minister Ipal...goodmorning."

"Your Highness, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, we got off the wrong foot. I have an important mission I need your help with. I heard my mother left you in charge of Highland and Outlander relations..."

"Yes."

"I want you to bring me their leader. I want things patched up and dealt with before it gets worse."
