Keeper of the Wand

Lies and Forgiveness

 Hey guys! We're back with Rose and the gang as things continue in their daily lives. What's happening now? Let's check in and see! 

-Rose's POV-

I sat in between Marco and Star as we waited in the line for the student counselor. As we waited, we watched as student after student went in, and came out really happy by what they were told. Marco looked at both Star and I, "Everybody seems pretty happy with what their getting."

"I can't wait to see what my future holds!" Star said, jumping excitedly into the counselor's room. Marco and I moved down another seat, since I was next when Star got out of office. I twisted my hands together nervous.

"What if I get something I don't like?" I asked Marco.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I mean, I don't really remember what I want to become. I know I'm a princess, but I'm not like Star who will be Queen when she gets older. I know I'm royalty and will have to be by Star's side when she becomes Queen, but I have options, and I don't know what I want to do."

Marco placed his hands on my nervous ones, instantly calming them down. I looked at him confused. He smiled and said, "Hey, it's okay. I'm sure whatever you get, you'll be happy with."

I nodded, "Thank you, Marco. I'm glad to have a friend like you."

Marco flinched and withdrew his hand. "Yeah, friend."

"Everything....okay?" I asked. "Did i say something wrong?"

Before he could answer, the door opened and Star came walking out, looking discouraged and upset. I raised an eyebrow as she walked past us. I looked at Marco, who looked just as confused. My nervousness came back in full swing as I heard a voice say, "Whoever's next can come in now!"

I swallowed and slowly got up and walked into the office. I've never been in the student counselor's office, but it looked the same as the other offices in the school. Except there was a cat thing on his desk and a bowl of candy by it. The man sitting behind the desk had longer hair then most of the male teaches; in fact, it was in a pony tail, which only confused me more. Along with that, he had a beard. He had blue eyes and wore a light blue shirt with a grey vest over it, along with a red tie. Overall, he looked friendly.

"Rose Butterfly!" the counselor said. "It's so glad to finally meet you!"

I smiled as I entered the room and closed the door behind me. "It's nice to meet you to...." I started, realizing I didn't get his name.

"Call me Mr. Candle," Candle said.

I nodded and sat down at the seat in front of his desk. "Would you like something sweet?" he asked, gesturing to the candy bowl. I nodded and took a red one. I unwrapped the candy and popped it into my mouth, only to quickly spit it out onto the wrapper.

"Not a fan of cinnamon?" he asked.

"It's hot," I said, feeling something nagging at my mind. I felt like I had a similar situation like this happen to me before. But....it wasn't my mouth that felt like it was on fire from a piece of candy. My body tingled with the feeling of the past memory I couldn't remember; why did it feel like my body was suddenly on fire? I shook my head; something I'll have to think about later.

I threw the candy away just as Mr. Candle said, "So? any plans for the future?"

"Well, not really," I said. "I think I did before but.....after losing my memory, it's been difficult." Mr. Candle looked at me, surprised. And it seemed the cat thing's eyes stopped moving and were staring at me. Or maybe it broke? I wasn't sure.
