Before we start, I just wanted to say hi to all my readers. I hope you are enjoying this series so far. As of now, I am sick. This can go down two routes, I have more time to write, or I have every block in the creative world imaginable and cant do anything good. Its going down the blocked path. So I'm not going to be working on these unless I have a inspiration slap me across the face, like a fish. So this chapter will be updated a lot. Inspiration is like a bubble when I'm sick, it arrived, floats awhile, then pops. Now. Raviolis are calling me! Ta-ta!
Happy reading!

You woke up with a start. Those nightmares really are relentless. You look around, it was still dark outside. You sigh leaning to the window and watch the fireflies. Something was missing. You see a reflection of a shadow with one gleaming, silver object. A knife. The room is filled with pitch black blackness, it was only able to be described as such, as the screams and wails of you are drowned out. Your wings. Cut away. Now what was once beautiful was two bleeding stubs of bone. You are left there to bleed. No one heard your cries.

You wake up with a start and immediately look at your back. Your wings are there. Chase was already in your house, eating breakfast. He looks at you when you shuffle to the doorway. "Hey Leona. You scared me last night." What? What happened last night? "You were screaming in your sleep. Crying out for help. Your lucky I couldn't sleep last night and came over here."

You groan, holding your head. "The North. Crap!" He nodded watching you go through the fridge, frantically. "Leona." You ignore him as you go through the cupboards. "Leona." Still ignoring him. "Leona! Stop." He grabbed your hands with a swift movement. You look at his hands then at him. "I know your scared. It's a big responsibility. I'm glad that you chose us to help you." You nod slowly as he pulls you into a tight hug.

Poppy burst in with Jackie behind her. "We are going to die!" Poppy said, with a odd enthusiasm. Chase glares at her as you sit down, rubbing your forehead. Jackie sighed, "Shes having a breakdown isnt she?" Chase nodded as he grabbed your backpack. "The queen waits. Leona? We're here for you." You look up to see Poppy, Jackie and Chase giving your bright reassuring smiles. Well only Poppy and Chase. Jackie just glared. "Thanks guys. Let's go save the king."
