Keeping Control

Hey guys! So, here is another awesome art done by none other then the fabulous Kiwi! Anyway, here's the new chapter!

-Rose's POV-

"Why we do this everyday, I'll never know," I said to Marco, as we watch Star hide out in one of the dumpsters. We were currently behind the Doughnut store, waiting for the evening hour to where Pete, one of the employees, took out the trash of old donuts for the day. It's been maybe a week since the incident with Star's and I's magic.

About a week since I made a deal.

Ever since that day, I've had more control over my magic then ever before, which is a major relief because I was sick and tired of the random outbursts. But even though I had control, it came with a price. The voice wanted something in return. And what that was, I wasn't sure, nor did he even explain. He said for now I can have control, but when the time comes, he'll let me know what he wants. But for a temporary exchange, he still wanted some control of my magic.

Which is why now, my eyes now longer looked as blue as Star's. They were now tinged with a hint of green, making my eyes look like a sea form green. Marco glanced at me and said, "I still can't get used to the fact that your eyes are that color."

"What's wrong with this color?" I asked, even though I knew it didn't mean anything good.

"It's just....not you," he said, sighing. Just then, Pete came out of the backdoor and dropped the trash bag he was carrying into the dumpster. Suddenly, a woman with a war helmet on her head, and purple hair poked her head out of the dumpster. She wore a minty green shirt and skirt, and her eyes are the same color. But....it looked like she had been living in that dumpster for a while now.

She fell out of the dumpster, trying to get out. As she fell, the trash bag that ha the donuts in it, opened and fell out onto the ground. "Oh no, no, no, no, no, no," the lady said, trying to gather the donuts. I observed the woman as Marco went to tell Star that the crazy lady was stealing the donuts. Why did this lady look so familiar?

Star gasped and ran over to me, shaking my shoulders and screaming, "IT'S MINA LOVEBERRY!!!!!"

Right. That's why she looked familiar.

"I have no idea who that is," Marco said.

"She's a Mewni warrior, and Star's idol," I explained. "She LOVES Mina, though I an't really see why."

Star gasped and said, "How can you say that about an amazing warrior of Mewni, Rose?! Just look at her!"

She gestured to Mina, just as Mina started looking around frantically, saying, "I lost my bag! Has anyone seen my bag? Has anyone seen my bag?"

"Oh yeah, I really do wonder why," I said. Star rolled her eyes and decided to go talk to Mina instead. I felt a twitch in my eye, and curled my hands into fists. Marco seemed to notice because he stepped in front of me and asked, "Are you okay Rose?"

"Star is just...irritating me," I said, watching as she was starting to get excited from just walking over to Mina. "She does this every time, and it annoys me so much."

"Why? It's fine to have people to look up too. In this case, just not crazy people," Marco said. I sighed and said, "Watch."

I walked over to Star and tapped her shoulder, "Hey Star, want to go hang out? Since you know, we are sisters?"

"Later, later," she said, waving her hand. "So, Mina, there's this amazing park across the street here."

I walked back to Marco and gestured to Star and Mina, as they walked across the street. "See what I mean? She completely ignores me and the fact that I'm here."
