Queen of Shadows

Chapter 7

    I quickly remove the necklace and toss it across the room.  Why did it glow like that? I take a few steps towards it, examining like an owl. After a few minutes I realize, what am I waiting for? For it to run around the room or explode or something? I reluctantly lift the necklace and place it on again slowly. I do a 180 turn and take a quick look into the mirror before I exit the room, and all I see is a person that I am "supposed to be" . This isn't me. This isn't me at all. Cautiously I take small steps towards the door as I attemp to control my breathing. As I open the majesticly designed door  music is heard in the distance.

      I walk out of the room to find out that I was on the second floor of what looks to be a mansion. Huge stair's in the middle of the house leading to the second floor like in all those cinderella movies where the girl with the beautiful dress walks down as the entire croud watches, but it was empty. I begin to follow the mid evil music down the stairs and towards the rear of the house. Everything so beautiful and ancient.

      As I approached huge wooden doors that would lead me straight to the music, I noticed the scent of blood in the air. As I finally reached the doors with carved designs I slowly open them as the music gets louder by the second. It seems to be the back yard. Rose is standing in front of a pool facing my direction as if she was waiting for me, to the left there is a classical band playing. That is the source of the music. A beautiful garden with exotic plants blooming in the background.

 

       She begins to walk my direction, but half way I feel a strange wave of energy hit me. Like getting slapped in the face, visions were popping in and out. Thousands of visions flashing at once causing my head to hurt. As I watch Rose get closer and closer I begin to remember things. I remember everything from the past. Everything Rose had said was true. I give her a smile as she walks my direction. With that smile she knew I had gotten my memories back so she smiled back and began to run at me. When she finally reached me we both hugged each other real tight and began to laugh.

"Oh gosh its been a while." I sigh

"Yes it has girl but now your back sooo yay!" She squeals

"How has the kingdom been without me?" I ask curiously to what she has done with my kingdom. She was my right hand for everything, I created her so when I decided to kill myself and reincarnate I left her in charge of my kingdom there was no way she would backstab me.

"Its been good no war's have accured in your absence strangely."

"Thats good,  so did you find a way to create a peace act with the other realms or are we planning on attacking and taken over yet another realm?"

We begin to walk back inside of the house as she explains whats happened.

"What how many?!" I yell.

"Eh, 23" she shrugs

"You have taken 23 realms while I was gone, thats impressive."

"Well..... I didnt really take over." She replies slowly

"What do you mean you didnt really take over?" I narrow my eyebrows.

"Well....... I might of sort of kind of told the rulers of the realms that maybe possibly kinda they can rule it for you as long as they pay us?Daily?" She stairs into my eyes to see my reaction.

"WHAT!! THEY WILL THINK WE ARE LOSING OUR POWER. REMEMBER WHEN THEY THOUGHT WE WERENT CAPABLE OF ANYTHING BECAUSE WE ARE GIRLS?" I exclaim

"Yip.....well.....we better get going." She whispers.
