"You want to tell me why there's been a creepy smile on your face since I came for you?" Zara asks and the smile I've been trying to hide widens, coming out to play for all to see as we walk through the streets of the kingdom.

She came once it was dusk, and although I didn't want to leave the calm, serene environment of the library that's best for reading, I had to go with her so she doesn't get in trouble with Sean again.

"I'm just really happy," I confess, unable to hide my joy, "I really le

    Holding unto my hand tightly, he drags me down this narrow path as we both run away from the man chasing after us. He's far behind, but any delay on our part would lead to something I'm definitely not prepared for."This way!" He says and turns right onto another narrow path in the middle of two tall buildings, still dragging me along as my weak legs struggle to catch up with his extremely fast pace. What's happened to Zara now? I really pray she is alright.The guilt would eat me up from my insides if anything bad happens to that woman who seems to be the only one alongside Jana who has what little compassion for me."In here!" he says again, and I wonder the point of telling me which way to go if he's going to drag me anyways like a big heavy sack. We go into a dark empty building and immediately run upstairs, hiding behind an open door that leads to a room.We stand tightly together, really close to the wall with the open door hiding us fairly well. I hear fast footsteps that come

    "You want to tell me why there's been a creepy smile on your face since I came for you?" Zara asks and the smile I've been trying to hide widens, coming out to play for all to see as we walk through the streets of the kingdom. She came once it was dusk, and although I didn't want to leave the calm, serene environment of the library that's best for reading, I had to go with her so she doesn't get in trouble with Sean again."I'm just really happy," I confess, unable to hide my joy, "I really learned a lot today and I feel like a bird let out of its cage to play just a little.""I hope you didn't fly too far," she says, and I scoff. Typical Zara. Of course, she's going to worry that I know too much, leaving me to wonder what exactly "too much" means."What book is this?" She asks and looks at the cover, reading the title out loud, "PSYCHICISM. You're learning about our powers?""Yes I am," I respond smiling, "and I've learned quite a lot.""Care to share a few?""Sure," I willingly agr

    It's no surprise that Sean wouldn't cry about the demise of his despicable mother, but I'm still confused. She speaks like it was a really heartless thing for Sean to do, making me guess that they do not know the type of relationship he had with her."That's…" I try to start a sentence but decide to keep shut as nothing reasonable comes to mind except more questions and I have to be careful not to spill Sean's secret."Yeah," she sighs, "that's why most people hate him but can't show it, because their fear is greater.""Hate him?" I ask annoyed, "Why would you hate someone when you haven't even heard their side of the story? That's just cruel and unreasonable.""Well," she says, "life's fucked."She sips her tea again, and I stay quiet, trying to free myself of every anger and concentrate on the questions to ask."Queen Crystal," I say, and she looks at me with a horrified look and puts her index finger on her lips, signaling for me to shut up."You can't go about saying her name that

    "You do not seem to be really fond of the royals and rulers," I ask although sounding more like an already confirmed fact. I remember how she didn't like it that they kept the war a secret from the people, and I've never noticed her in any gathering, not the wedding nor ritual."What's there to be fond of?" She scoffs, and I smile, thinking of ways to get any valid information from her."Never been a friend to a royal?""I wouldn't even want to be entangled in such a stressful relationship," she says, sounding like she's talking from a secret pain she feels."Have you had any friends at all before?" I ask calmly and she chuckles."Is there a person who hasn't?" She says and sips her tea while I listen calmly. "I did have a friend once before, the kindest of all creatures you'd ever meet. She was sweet and different, didn't mock me like the others did about my love for books and when she had the power, she made me matron and supervisor of this really amazing library."What? Who is she

    Taking a deep breath, I turn around with my head held high and fear held at bay as I look at Jana, who is looking back at me puzzled."You know your way to the library, don't you?" She asks, still puzzled as to why I'm standing here and looking at her."Of course I do," I respond boldly, "but I'd like you to accompany me.""I thought you said you didn't need any company," she frowns, "Why else would you ask Zara to leave?""I'm sure you know that by now," I say, and she smirks, removing her glasses and placing them on the counter just beside her now closed book."I'm right behind you," she says, and I nod once, walking away proud and fulfilled. It feels so good to be able to do what you want without much questioning. I guess I'm indeed queen.I walk upstairs quickly and enter the book-filled room, then walk towards the shelf Jana showed us the other time. Like before, it's arranged neatly with so many books and, surprisingly, OUR KINGDOM'S TALE, the book I just returned, is sitting in

    "This is an awfully quiet walk and that's strange since it's with you," Zara says, and I sigh, forcing a small smile."Unusual happenings seem to be the order of the day lately, don't you think?" I respond and she chuckles.Huh? Zara chuckled at me? I guess I'm making progress."You wanna talk about it?" She says as we turn into the library estate and I finally let my guard down a little since there's no one in sight. Asides my unsettled mind, the fear I felt walking through the streets of this kingdom was just a complete weigh down on me. They all kept looking and whispering, but in a few eyes, there wasn't just hate. Fear joined in. I'm guessing it's because of the scene I made during the ritual. Now they fear me because they don't know me. Oh well, that's not too bad because I feel the same way. I don't know me either and it's scary as hell."It's nothing serious," I respond to Zara, "I just had a slight quarrel with Sean.""Oh, couples fight.""He just always has something to hid
