The Truth Hurts

"You build me up
and then I fall apart"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She stood on the balcony over looking the view and everything that was hers; her people struggling under her mother's control, there was no light here, only darkness. People trapped in there own homes, living in misery. The heart necklace Frieda had once given her broken and thrown away, that was her past, this; here in the Diamond Island was her future. Tessa gave up everything for the truth, the darkness in her growing stronger as each day passed, her mother gave her gifts, the title of princess, a place to live in safety and comfort, yet her mother has yet to tell her the truth; the one thing she yearned for above everything else. She continued watching the fairies of the planet suffer, she didn't care though what did they matter to her, it was her mother they feared and she was nothing to them, the title princess she had gained, but they wouldn't treat her like one unless she made them. She heard the door open, Isabel she recognized looked exactly like Ivy her old roommate a smirk appeared on her face as she snapped at her, you're late!

I'm sorry but I didn't know I served you Isabel said to Tessa sarcastically, I was looking for the princess but it seems she isn't here.

Tessa grabbed Isabel by her arm and threw her to the floor, her magic sparked it was now black in color, rather than the silver it had been before, what did you say to me?! You are worthless, and I'll be more then happy to put you in your place; besides I know where you're sister is, you wouldn't want her to end up like you now would you? So stay in your place and do as you're told, got it?

Yes Isabel said reluctantly adding Princess at the end of her sentence.

Good, we have an understanding of each other Tessa said now tell my mother I would like to speak to her, and maybe if you're a good girl I won't tell her where your rebel spies are hiding in the palace, now tell me something.

What would you like to know Princess, Isabel said I don't know much about the outside world of this place.

You don't like Frieda the princess of Rainbow's is that correct Tessa said looking at her with interest.

Not exactly Princess, and like is a soft word to use, I hate her Isabel said and I don't trust her.

You shouldn't Tessa said I know personally what she can do; she stands in everyone's way, if there was only a way to get rid of her, but how, no matter what we try she always prevail.

I do not know Princess, Isabel said but I've learned that sometimes Frieda can do enough damage on her own, especially since she's so willing to help any of her friends and family.

Thank you, but everyone knows that Tessa said, yet I'll admit it is quite useful. I think I'll spare your rebellion today but be warned I hold your sisters life in my hands so stay loyal to me and she will continue to see the light of day, if not any day can be her last. Now tell my mother I am waiting to speak with her, chop chop we haven't got all day. She smirked as she watched the maid stumble out of the room, fear was how you got people to listen and luckily for her she knew a lot of this maids secrets and fears, so her loyalty in the princess would stay the same.

Tessa darling, Selina spoke as she entered the room, you called for me?

Yes mother, Tessa said I have waited patiently and don't get me wrong I love everything you gave me and I don't think that I made the wrong choice, but I want the truth, I need it, and I crave it; can you please tell me it?

Are you sure that is what you want Tessa? Sometimes Selina said, the truth can hurt and not everyone is ready to hear it, are you sure you are?

Yes, please tell me Tessa said, I'm desperate!
