Chapter 10 - Crystialia

                                    

                                          
"Welcome back Funneh." I woke up to the sound of a soft voice. Blazing red hair, long and waving, pulled up into a bun. A silver tiara looped on her head. Queen Alexandria. The queen of Crystialia "Where am I?" I muttered, sitting up. "Safe" Alexandria said, patting my back. My hair was a mess, and I looked around. I saw Rainbow in the bed next to me. The room was quite big, with windows that stretched from the floor to the roof. A glass door that lead out to a balcony was here as well. Two king sized beds filled the room and they were covered in baby blue quits. The morning sun was streaming through the windows. "Where is Gold? How is Lunar? When did you get here? Wait... when did I get here?" I stammered, feeling myself shake.
                          
"You're in my kingdom. We got Gold's pigeon, and I sent my army to get you instantly. We were too late." Alexandria said, trailing off, glancing out the window. I saw a bluebird fly past the window. "I'm sorry for your losses, Gold told me everything. With the fire taking over a third of your population and Draco taking the rest, you don't have any people left do you." I shook my head, letting out a heavy sigh. 
                          
"AH! What's go-oing on?" Rainbow said, suddenly sitting up in bed, panting heavily. "Rainbow? Are you okay?" I quickly hopped out of bed and went over to her, wrapping my arms around her. "I just had a dream..." she muttered staring off into space. "Where are we?" "In Crystialia." Queen Alexandria responded, standing up. "Queen Alexandria!" Rainbow gasped. "I'll have a maid come up here and bring you some breakfast. After what you have been through, I think that will do you some good." Alexandria gave a small smile and swept out of the room, closing the door with a soft click. 
                          
"Who do you think did it?" Rainbow asked me, as soon as we heard the footsteps walk away. "I don't-" I cut myself off. "You know as much as I do, Funneh. I think we both know who did it." Rainbow said, quietly. I nodded, "Why? Why him? Why is he acting like this? How did you get his powers? How did this happen." Tears flooded my eyes, and Rainbow hugged me. "Funneh, this may be an ugly chapter in our lives, but we have to resist and push forward, or we won't get the happy ending want"
                          
Gold bust through the door. "Thank the heavens! You two are alright!" She grabbed us and pulled us in for a hug. "Gold... tell me this is a dream." I whispered, pulling her in. She paused. "It's not Funneh... the village is destroyed, the west wing is burned..." I let out a wail and flung myself onto my own bed, burying myself in my pillow. All my memories. I basically grew up in the west wing. It was the place I went to the most. I remember hiding in the library when my mom wanted me to have lessons. I remember helping my dad cook in the kitchen then taking it to the dining room to watch my family's eyes light up. I remember training with Draco at night, away from the eyes of my parents. All of that, gone, in a single wipe of a fire. 
                          
A warm hand grasped my shoulder and I looked up, sniffling. Gold was staring down at me, a worried look on her face. She sat down next to me. "This is hard on the whole kingdom Funneh. But we are the leaders. We have to show the rest of the kingdom that we can be strong and lead them into a brighter future!" "You're the queen, Gold... it's all you." I muttered, sitting up, hugging my knees to my chest. "But I need your advice. Your guidance. Your support. I need my whole family's support." Gold turned to look at Rainbow, who was still sitting on her bed. "I need you"
                          
Rainbow stood up and stood by the window. "Its been hard eh? Without Mom and Dad here to support us and give us the right advice." We all sat there, and Rainbow went on. "It is really not fair that life chose us to suffer. But I guess we can't do much." I stood up. "I hate all this sappy stuff." I mumbled. Rainbow let out a barking laugh. 
                          
I rolled over into a small slumber...
                          
I was waking in some woods, the grass crunching like snow under my feet. It was peaceful here.  The trees vanished and I reached a cliff side on a mountain, and gazed out upon it, my blue hair blowing back into the wind. Goosebumps lifted on my skin and I let out a small shiver. Off the cliff, I saw trees fanning out like an ocean, and the familiar view of the Krewdom.
Something crunched behind me.
I whirled around, and came face to face with Draco. He let out a breath and hugged me.
"Funneh! You have no idea how glad I am to see you!"
I patted his back and pushed him away from me, looking into his green eyes. 
"Draco... what's wrong with you?"
He looked at me with a heartbreaking expression. 
"I've hurt so many people already. Funneh... you have to stop me." 
I looked at him. 
"This is all a dream, right?"
Draco shrugged, tears falling down his face rapidly.
"Funneh... I think so, but this message is from the true me. The Draco you trained with. The Draco that threw ice cream at your face last summer. Your brother."
He choked in the last two words.
"Funneh. You have to stop me. Before I hurt anyone else."
I knew what he meant, right then and there.
"No Draco! I'm not going to kill you!"
"It's the only way to ensure the safely of our kingdom! You have too!"
"That's crazy logic! This is a dream! I have no reason to believe in a dream!"
We both paused. Draco gave me a horrified look, full of sorrow.
"I'm sorry"
The wind blew him away, like he was leaves that had fallen of a tree. 
"Draco? DRACO?!" 
I fell to my knees, horrified. Tears came and I let them.
"I won't, I won't, I won't! I will never kill him!" 
I screamed.
                          
"Funneh get up!"
                          
I came back into the real world and let out a huge breath. Gold and Rainbow had horrified looks on their faces, and Golds' hands were on my shoulder. I welled up, full of sorrow. 
                          
They understood. So we all cried, hugging each other in our arms and letting out all the pain and grief.
