Chapter 7: a secret no more

 Kate didn't want to tell her secret to the entire kingdom the thought of them not wanting her as queen and not respecting her at all made her not want to do anything  The fear of someone else taking her place on the throne like many years ago scared her even Bucky her favorite bunny wanted her to do it but she couldn't bring herself to accomplish that she didn't want another journey she didn't thrive for another Battle but did her friends want to could they have missed the life of being wanted heroic and loved she Never said they weren't but maybe she didn't realize how much her friends loved fame and popularity maybe she could tell the kingdom her secret she could have less guilt about keeping it from all her friends if there was another journey what if the kingdom would fall while she was gone she had no one else to step in for her maybe that was the point the point that she wasn't fit for a queen like her mom maybe she wasn't fit for a queen at all she obviously got things wrong and her mother didn't neither did her father as king they knew what their kingdom needed she didn't what was the point of ruling If she didn't have the approval of the other animals around her how could she keep the respect of the kingdom if she told her perplexing curse the constant feeling you'll never be good again turning over to the Darkside and not coming back  how would they feel if they realized their queen let them down what they leave pick a new queen forget about her she would what is she saying everyone knew how hard it was which is why they chose her she save them could she do it again unknown is nothing like lord blazen he's stuck in her mind slowly messing with her until it's too late and she's just like him but Bucky is right she must be truthful to her kingdom she loves them and they love her and she needs to keep it that way and If telling them the truth will keep their respect  for her then it's time to reveal the truth she goes to find Bucky to tell him her decision and found him on a bench it seems as though he was disappointed  she walks up to him asking if he's OK Bucky nods hey I decided that I am going to reveal my secret and thank you for making me realize what truly matters to me this throne  friendship things I hold the most and no weakness is ever going to take that away from me so let's go announce the truth and they head outside to tell everyone Kates big secret and the approval of them awaits. Twinkle Paw gives everyone the reassurance that the queen has something to tell and they need to listen everyone stops what they're doing to listen and Kate takes a deep breath and  begins to talk hello everyone thank you for taking the time to hear me understand why I've been this way doing things that don't really need to happen things a queen should I do and I'm sorry so I'm here to tell you that I didn't fully make it out of the war without getting hurt lord blazen  blasted me with immune substance a weakness that all wolves fear of and I got it this weakness has formed and turned me into him  soon this transaction is complete and I will never be the nice queen I started to be but an evil version and it's in my humble opinion that I am leaving soon to fetch a cure with your king and my best friend in ground Oaks city merith  and it's my honor to announce the person who will be filling in meet the second in charge twinkle paw your greatest friend and the best Second in command I could ever ask for thank you for your time the residence of national United city talked In a quiet whisper they didn't want their queen to hear and Kate feared why the animals went back to what they were doing and Kate walked back inside what did they think that she had abandoned them that she wanted to run Uknown had been doing things she didn't like things she would never do she knew that her and her friends must  find an antidote and save the castle from herself and for that she apologizes for not knowing how to leave with everyone being OK was hard what if Bucky didn't want to go on a journey what would she do if Merith  forgot about her and the adventures they had thats what Kate feared the most maybe she could go alone it was her weakness her responsibility not her friends she couldn't feel the need to put them in harms way she only wanted her to she knew Bucky would be mad at her for leaving him out of the journey but she loves him and if loving him means leaving him behind then that's fine but if she did something wrong she couldn't forgive her self maybe she didn't have to  Bucky sat on his bed playing with his glasses again the thought of Kate being in danger made him fear the most and not the better did she  want to go alone maybe but what would he do  he couldn't stop her she was determined to do it and maybe he was determined to save her but leaving twinkle paw behind he didn't want to she was his friend and friends don't leave each other behind the kingdom was what he really feared over  after Kate explained what happened and even he couldn't believe she dead but more importantly what did they think where they happy did they trust her or did they think she was lying that he knew wasn't like her so he decided to find her and figure out what they should do next. Keep contemplated what she would do should she go to merith and then go on a journey or perhaps say goodbye to the kingdom and her and Bucky could get merith and then set out to finish what had already started that seemed fine a knock on the door startled Kate come in Bucky walked in and sat on her bed he asked her what the plan was and she took a deep breath and replied we are headed for ground oak city Bucky smiled as the friends say goodbye and set off on a new quest A royal  quest
