Rewriting the Truth [5]

Twisted

Icy shivered silently, it wasn't because she was cold, ice witches didn't get cold. No it was because she was scared, scared of her mistakes. Scared of the life they now lead, if they were going to be found. She traced over the gash Frieda made in her arm, and shivered again. Icy wasn't sure what she was more scared of, facing Frieda, or her home where everything fell apart. Her and her sisters had run away to Dyamond, there old home, where they used to live a perfect life, they were Princess, and, and... everything fell apart because of her.

Ever since they arrived Icy had been looking, searching for Sapphire, although she hadn't told her sisters that, after all they still believed Sapphire, their youngest sister was dead. Killed by the woman who raged a conquest over Dyamond. The woman who killed their mother. The woman Icy helped instead of stopping, out of fear.

How much more could she loose to fear? How much longer would her life torture her about her choices, why out of every planet in the Magic Dimension did they choose here?

So many bad and good memories lived with in this place. Visions of her past self running though the beautiful forest with Sapphire, her laughing and hanging out with Aquamarine, the cold icy world disappeared and Icy was back in her past, when everything was fine, when she didn't screw up. Before corruption point, before Theli, before any of the madness.

"Mom, what should I do," Icy asked as she stood on the mountain alone watching the sun set and darkness slowly cover the light "how can I fix this? Everything I seem to do is wrong. I messed up everything, I couldn't even save Sapphire or you by going back in time. The only thing I've done is mess up the life I have."

"How can I make this right? I know my heart turned dark, and I chose to fly with no wings on my side. But I still want to make this right, if Frieda kills me for trying to revert this story, at least I'll be reunited with you. At least I won't have to be a failure." Icy said as she clutched the necklace she wore, the only item other than her sisters that she still had from her past life "I just want to do something right for once in my life."

"I made this mistake so it's my responsibility to fix it, that witch can come after me and kill me, but as long as my sisters have a happier story I don't care." Icy said as she looked at the small sliver of the sun dimming upon Dyamond until the light was completely diminished. "I'll stand for what I believe is right, I'll stand and fight, even if I must fight alone. I will fix my mistake, even if it ends with me dead."

A chill ran through her body and Icy for the first time in her life understood why Frieda was willing to be reckless. Frieda rather give herself up then have others suffer at her extent, and Icy finally understood because now she stood in that position.

"I know what I have to do, and I have to do it alone, if this is how my story ends then let it be. Let me disappear if that's what needs to be done. To give my sister's, a better life," Icy said as she looked up to the sky "heck for the magic dimension, and for Frieda's story; I have to do this alone. Thank you mom, I think I know what I need to do now."

From the corner a white fox watched Icy carefully, as it sadly smiled, her sister may be a witch but she had a kind heart, it just wasn't very obvious from certain perspectives.

"Went against everything I knew, killed, lied and tortured. If you didn't know me you'd come at me with full reason. I'll get tortured if I'm lucky, killed if I'm not;" Icy said as she stood up and began making her way down the mountain "what made me think I could do this and get away! It's not too late to fix my mistake, go back in time and fix the past. Perhaps I'll be forgive, maybe fade away forgotten. There's not more that I can ask, but to survive."

"Whichever path I take I'm still the one with the dark heart in the end. Temptations have called, and I don't know if I past the test." Icy said as her heart beat hard in her chest "Now I stand by a fork, with both answers that are clearly wrong. So which path do I take if none of them are right? "
