The Other Queen

Dreams

I gaped at Reiner in surprise. "I'm here because you dragged me here on
horse back which, by the way, did not feel comfortable the way I was riding!" I huffed at them. "And here I was thinking that people in Chicago were rough." Muttering, I turned my back on them while they stared at me and started to whisper, their words too quiet for me to hear.

"Alright fine, how did you get to this world then?" Atlea asked.

"I got struck by lighting, there was a portal, then I ended up in the woods not too far from here." I stated blankly. Everyone looked like I was going mad, and at this point, I realized that I am not going to wake up from this nightmare.

I was finally let out of the dungeon, but I had to be under supervision at all times. Atlea led me to a room. "Oh, is this my room?" I questioned. She laughed a bit before opening the door.

"No, it's mine. Tonight is my night to watch you, and what better way to do that than have you in the same room as I?" I shrugged in acknowledgement.

"Maybe now I can get some decent sleep." I said as I started to lay on one of the pillow mounds.

Atlea just giggled before settling in for the night, snapping her fingers to make the lights go out.

The first thing I noticed was that I was on a battle ground, the second was another me a few feet away.

"You won't get away this time, Abaddon!" She yelled at me as she flung a lot of deadly magic at me.

"And it is time for you to fall, Morana!" I yelled right back, summoning a sword out of thin air. The sword was as black as night and looked as if it was made from a Raven feather.  Akrsna. The name popped into my mind as if it was ment there. The curved tip gleamed threateningly as Morana summoned her own sword. It was as white as snow and just as cold. Juniper. Again, the name appeared out of no where.

We charged at each other, again and again. Our powers always matching in fierceness and force.

"Surrender, or die Abaddon!" She growled as our swords clashed again.

"Never!" She suddenly smirked.

"We'll see about that."

Suddenly there was a pain so sharp and strong that it surprised me.  "What the...." There was a knife sitting just below my breast. I looked at my sister in shock.

"How did you..." I was growing weak now.

"You were too destracted with me, Aba." She started, using my old nickname. I growled when her hand touched my face. "Ooh, still feisty I see. My new pet will have so much fun with you."

I looked at her, confused. "Your new pet?"

She smiled darkly, "Who do you think put that knife there?" She asked me as she pulled at the knife, making me wince.

"Helena! Get over here!" She barked. I gasped as I got a look at the girl. She was breathtaking, that's for sure but as she walked closer, I could see and sense two things:

One, she is a sorceress and two, she is only eighteen. I glared at my sister.

"I thought we agreed on no youngsters, Morana." I say accusingly.

"She is very useful to me now. She has been able to take you down, much like she was able to take down most of the demons." Her eyes blazed at me as she mocked me. "And I thought your power over death and destruction was great." She licked her lips menacingly. "But hers are more terrible than yours."

The girl reached me. "I must do this for my queen." She said, more to herself than to me. Then she stuck her blade into many places, my thigh, my cheek, etc.
I laughed like crazy then. "No one has more power or death or destruction than me, Morana. Or did you forget that I am the Angel of Death?" I watched as the girl froze for a second, her eyes wide.

I leaned in close to whisper to her. "I bet she didn't tell you that." Then I shoved off of the ground into the sky. After flying for a bit, the last I remember was falling for what felt like infinity before I crashed into the hard ground once again.

I sat up with a gasp, sweat drenching my face as I slowly stood from the ground. Cracking every bone I possibility could while stretching, I walked out of the room in hopes of finding the dining room.

After asking at least four servents for directions, I was able to find the room. Bursting into the room, I felt my face like up as I saw the food sitting at the table, waiting for me. I munched happily as the others whispered about something, most likely me.

Suddenly, my dream came back to me full force. Morana....is she the Witch Queen I have been hearing about? I can't let her keep doing what she wants! The other person that seemed to be me can wait...for now. I finally decided to clear my throat, gaining the attention of the others.

"What is it Wynter?" Reiner asked.

Determination filling me, I looked him right in the eyes as I said, "Let me join you in the fight against the Witch Queen!"
