Max lead me to the cabin that habited the MELs. I entered the building, though something felt odd. I greeted the MELs. "How are you guys doing?" I asked. They each smiled and one by one told me their day. I could feel Max's gaze on me. I talked to the MELs for quite a while, until I got bored with them. "I'm bored. Max! Take me back to my office!" I whined. I got on his back and he took me to my office.
When he set me down on my chair, I could tell he was hiding something. He turned to leave until I stopped him. "What're you hiding from me?" I asked. He turned to me and smiled...another sweet and loving smile. "Nothing. I wouldn't hide anything from my queen." He said, grabbing my hand and kissing my knuckles. Seriously, what is he hiding? He then left. I stared at the door. Something is up with him. He keeps giving me these weird smiles and treating me especially sweet.
Something is wrong with that guy.

I woke up to the sound of a knock on the door. "Uh...come in," I said, quickly brushing off my hot pink uniform—that I stole off of Her Majesty. Ashlie opened the door, softly smiling at me. "Hey, Venus, my queen." She bowed. "You don't have to call me that. We're friends." I smiled. She nodded. "I wanted to take a walk with you. It's a nice day." She said to me. "I would love-" Wait. Yesterday, something was up with Max...now, something's wrong with her. She hates being in the sun.
"No," I said. She gave me a shocked expression, then calmed down. "Wh-what? Why?" She questioned. "One, you hate being in the sun. Two, Max was being weird and now you...What going on?!" I inquired. She let out a small cough. "W-well...Max didn't want me to tell you this...but..."She trailed off. I raised my eyebrow. He is hiding something from me...but she knows about it?! "But what? What do you know?" I questioned her. "He wants to get married to you." She said, smiling.
My jaw dropped. "Excuse me?!" I couldn't believe this. "Well he is the king...and you're his queen..." She said. "Fine." I followed behind her as she led me to the assembly room. She put her hands over my eyes. "He wants it to be a surprise." She said. "Ok." I let her cover my eyes and guide me to wherever this 'wedding' was. After a few minutes, she uncovered my eyes. We were behind the stage of the assembly room, where I killed Her Majesty.
"Uhm...So...what do I do?" I asked. She sadly smiled at me. "Sorry, Venus. This is where your story ends." She said to me. Clint and Max walked up behind her. My eyes widened. "Clint's back?! Then that means that Asher's here!" I looked around. "Yeah, I'm the cause of your demise." He said. I turned around to see Asher smirking at me. He then swung his sword at my head.
