Princess Of Hell

Chapter 28

When I opened my eyes, I noticed I was laying on a bed of flowers. Butterflies of all colors flew around me and I smiled, watching them land on each flower. The flowers were beautiful. A variety of snapdragons, lupines, larkspurs, oleanders, roses, amaranths, dahlias, begonias, geraniums, and so many more. My heart warmed as I watched the butterflies land on each flower and then fly away, going to their next one. Wherever I was, it was beautiful. The sun was shining and was high up in the sky and the grass looked greener than I've ever seen it. It felt as if I was joined with Tanzania, the goddess of Nature. The beauty surrounding me enveloped me in a sense of peace and serenity and I never wanted to leave. I felt like I could be myself. Izzalee wasn't even with me. I knew I'd see my brother, my sisters, Ofelia, and Cornelius again. I knew I'd never see Vivian again because she was not coming here. She would be going someplace much more strict and unhealthy. Like hell.

"Princess Titania." A familiar voice rang out. I turned around to find Sorcha standing there. Sorcha was apparently my ancestor and I was related to her through my father, who I had absolutely no memories of. I was raised by my mother and her husband, King Finn. My mother Tia and Finn were always parents to me, so you can imagine it'd be a shock finding out the person who I believed was my father wasn't really. It was sad, because I loved Finn. He was a really good faery and kept me in line, but I knew Vivian probably killed him and mother.

"Sorcha." I curtsied. She smiled at me.

"Rise, there is no need for that." I nodded, looking her in the eyes.

"Where am I?"

"This is the realm between Heaven and Helleterra. Tiaris and Khimos are trying to Nurse your body back to health. You are not meant to be here yet, you have a destiny to fulfill before you even enter heaven." Sorcha explained, making me frown.

"But I don't want to go back, I have no reason to."

Sorcha smiled sadly.

"You can't stay, Titania. You still have so much to live for."

"What exactly do I have to live for?"

Sorcha sighed.

"Your purpose is to defeat Vivian and literally save the entire universe from her madness."

"But why me, Sorcha? I'm just a normal faery."

"You are not just anything, Titania. You're a descendant of mine, which means you have goddess blood flowing through your veins, and you're half light and half dark fae. You also have demon powers at your disposal."

"B-But I never asked for this." I complained.

"None of us ever ask for anything, Titania. I never asked to be a goddess, but here I am." Sorcha explained.

A thought came to my mind and though it hurt, maybe it'd give me some peace of mind.

"Is Cassie, and my mom and dad here?" I asked Sorcha, who nodded.

"Yes, But I don't think seeing them would be a good idea....." she trailed off, looking at me with concern.

"Please? I never got to say goodbye." I begged her, and she capitulated, smiling sadly.

"Wait here, I will go get them." And with that, she disappeared.

My heart ached at the thought of leaving this beautiful place. The sense of peace would be washed away and I didn't want that. I just wanted to feel cared for, and not ever be betrayed again. But, I also did miss my family. And I just confessed my feelings to Cornelius......

"Nia!" Cassie's voice erupted through my indecisiveness and I turned around to see her running towards me. Her brown wavy hair was longer than before and her blue gown flowed all around her. Her smile lit up my entire world and she launched herself into my arms. I sighed, hugging her tightly.
