Chapter 1 Snowflakes danced around my fingertips. I smiled to myself as I made them twirl in different patterns. One hundred years ago, my twin sister banished me to the kingdom of ice. As days went by, my blonde hair became an icy blue as did my skin. It wasn't until recently that the ice completely took me. It takes years to become an ice queen. Queen Ana banishes criminals to my kingdom, to serve me. The ice kingdom had become a sort of prison where people were sent to as the worst punishment possible. Ana uses her powers to take away most of their free will, so they can't speak to me on their own terms. That way I am still alone. It doesn't stop me from trying, though. The only 'friends' I had were the animals sent from the arctic as guards. They had free will because they understood the ice kingdom as I understood it. They knew the chill of all year winters. My snowflake dance stopped and they slowly floated to the ground as my messenger, a snowy owl, flew in to greet me. "Hello Abban. Lovely to see you again," I said, standing up. He perched upon my cold shoulder and looked up. "As it is me to you. Ana has me all over the ice kingdom, keeping watch over the servants and maids," he muttered with displeasure. "Tell me Alise, have you prepared for the winter? Ana is concerned for this season, as she is every year, but this year more so." No one calls me Alise, but my animals. I never permitted my former life name to escape the lips of my lowly servants. I slowly stepped down from the ice throne and descended the steps towards the clear ice floor below. All ice floors were completely clear so you could see the arctic ocean below. A school of arctic cod swam beneath my feet, their scales shimmering in the dark ocean. "Winter has been prepared for the last month now. I've had time to work ahead you know. That's all I have," I muttered. "Time." "I'll be back the first dawn of winter to make sure preparations are in place and ready for order," he stated, shaking his white wings. "Look Alise, I know you have everything under control because you have for the past hundred years. It's Ana, though. She seems to be more worried than usual. Forgive me for my uptight manner." My interest peaked. Ana was getting worried with what? It would give me something to do, watching her. Ana always was a disorganized woman, even in our childhood. I gave Abban a curt nod and watched him fly away. His white form melted into the blizzard I had created hours ago. "Queen Wynter?" a young female servant addressed. I only looked at her and waited for her to continue. "A new batch of servants came in this morning. One is being particularly difficult with her training." I was silent for a minute, pondering whether it mattered enough to take a look myself. New servants usually broke a few days after they arrived, if their spirits weren't already broken from Ana. "Take me to her," I ordered. She led me down the grand hallway and into the training wing. The walls in the servants wing were all clear, to ensure none were doing anything out of order. That rarely happened, though. We approached a much younger servant, closer to my age than the rest. Her will must be strong due to her youth. Her wrists where bound in ice and her long brown hair dangled around her face. Two canada lynx stood by her side, watching her closely. "What is your name?" I asked softly. Strands of hair fell away from her face as she lifted her head to look at me. "Meredith Ellsworth," she murmered uncertainly. I twirled my fingers, breaking the ice around her wrists. She got off of her knees and stood. "Why on earth is a girl so young sent to such a place?" I wondered aloud. Meredith gave a defiant smirk. "I was caught stealing from the royal court," she told me. "They've been taking from the peasants and I thought I'd return the favor." I smiled and took her arm, no servant looked at us in a questioning gaze. This ones free will seemed to be much more than that of a regular servant. Ana must be getting weak. That's what she's worrying about. Her magick is faltering. "You and I will get along quite nicely. Abdel," I called. "Yes, your highness?" the male servant standing near us answered loyally. I took another look at the Meredith before giving my command. "Take Meredith Ellsworth to the royal hall and arrange her stay in the quarters there. I have other matters to attend," I commanded finally. Adbel bowed. "Yes my queen," he said. He took her by the arm and led her away. "Be in full uniform by dinner," I called after her. I was not sure if she heard, but if Ana was becoming weak I had no time to waste. My bare feet hurried along the ice floors silently as I headed towards the secret passageway.

Chapter 2 My finger slid along the magick lock in the wall. I could feel a worn path. There was a hiss and the wall parted to reveal the dark staircase behind it. The ice kingdom had many secrets. They whispered from the walls and called from the ocean below. The spirits of long dead servants and loyal animals. The room at the end of the staircase was my pride and joy. Built off of the harvested souls of the servants and taking so much magick that it took years for mine to recover. I descended the staircase quickly. The depth of the room made it unbearably cold. A casual servant would freeze to death before he or she could even make it to the room. The only reason I could enter was because I was the ice. Soon enough, I could see the light at the end of the staircase. The glass-like floor was cool against the soles of my feet. I gasped at the simple beauty. It was a large room at the very bottom of the Arctic ocean. I could never get used to it. As a human, hundreds of years ago, I'd always foolishly believed the most life existed in the top of the ocean. the most life, in actuality, was at the very bottom. Horrifying and absolutely stunning creatures unknown to man swam in the murky water. The bright light that lit the room, also lit the ocean miles above and miles across. Giving my eyes access to such a sight. Ice fish swam across the top of the room. A much larger and scarier type of deep-sea anglerfish jumped out of the dark, at the edge of my light, to feed on its prey. "Show me the royal court under Ana Harlow's rule," I commanded. The images on the screen slowly became less transparent. "Show me Ana." A more human version of me appeared on the ice. "Why have you been sent here?" I heard her hiss. A middle-aged woman knelt at her feet. "A guard bumped into me, your highness. Please, my family-" "Silence!" Ana screamed into the poor woman's face. "You dare mock my well- trained guards? With your treason especially. You sicken me." I grimaced as Ana struck the woman with her staff. "Mother!" A young woman cried out. The woman of trial held her hands up defensively for fear that Ana might strike again. "You will be sent to the ice kingdom for life. Your family shall be banished and shunned." "But my children," the woman sobbed. Ana placed her palm upon the woman's forehead. The fire slowly left the woman's eyes and was replaced with the dullness I see in my servants. "Mother!" This time it was from a child who was clinging to her sisters skirts. "Abban, deliver her to the ice kingdom. Guards, get those disgusting things out of my sight," Ana shouted. The children cried out when the guards dragged them away. Abban flew in and took the woman into his messangers necklace. To my horror, Ana sighed then said,"Wynter, you simply must stop spying on me. Your shield is down again." She tsked and looked directly at me from the ice. "Stop," I choked out. the image froze and faded away. I turned and fled the room. Running all the way back up. I didn't stop until I was completely out of the hidden part of the wall. The doors slid shut. I leaned against the wall panting for breath and very shaken up. "Queen Wynter?" I pushed myself off of the wall and stood straighter. Meredith stood at the end of the hallway in her skirts. "I thought I told you to be in your maids clothing," I said, taking notice of her green and violet dress. "Where did you even receive that?" "I was a seamstress. I made it out of the bedding in my room," she chuckled, giving me an apologetic look. "Are you alright, your highness?" "Why wouldn't I be," I snapped suddenly. Meredith looked away sheepishly as if her question was completely idiotic. How far she was from the truth. I sighed and loosened up my stance. "Call me Alise." She looked back up at me quickly. It was forbidden to speak the name in the royal courts for Ana would become angry with you if you ever said it. "Yes, your highness," Meredith bowed and quickly walked away, leaving me in my own thoughts

Chapter 3 Thanks for bearing with me, I hope you give those people a chance! One last thing, Thank you all so much who have been commenting, favoriting, and following. It means so much to me and it gives me more of a reason to keep writing. I try as much as possible to give you the best chapters. I'm going to end this here. I hope you enjoy the new chapter __________________________ ____________________ "Has a new servant come in recently?" I asked one of them as I walk down the hallway. The woman nods her head curtly, then point further down the hall. "One new servant has arrived. You will find them six doors down," she said dully. I rolled my eyes at her lack of emotions. It wasn't the servants fault, but sometimes talking to emotionless robot humans with no will got very annoying. She stood in the same position, waiting for my next command. I sighed and walked away quickly. The ice felt unusually colder the further I went. There were many spirits lingering near the room she'd pointed me too. The woman surely couldn't have caused this. I could see a figure with it's head hung low in the room. Even the usually clear glass was foggy. I swung the door open, in hopes of coming face to face with the woman. A bald man stood before me. His hideous smirk embedded into his wary face. The chill in the room was high around him. He was no ordinary criminal. The man glared up at me from his prison-like placement among the ice. "So you're the great Ice Queen," he spat down at my feet. I side stepped to avoid his words like they could harm me. "Yes, are you free willed?" I asked curiously. He rolled his eyes. "Of course I am. Do you think just because I'll work for you, I'll act upon your every wish?" the man growled with spite. I silently evaluated him. It was very odd for a man such as this to happen upon my kingdom. Maybe Ana had sent him and she'd been too weak to destroy his will. Then an idea struck me. The unusual cold, the overly angry attitude, and his indefinate scowl. "Why were you sent here?" The man stood up to face me full on, he stood broader and taller than me. I was given an evil smirk before he answered. "Countless homocides," he answered with pride. His grin grew. It was then that I could see the disgusting brown muck on his teeth. The man was a disgusting, rare servant sent to the kingdom. None that I would have on my premesis. "You disgust me." He chuckled. "Aren't you the most evil being on mother earth?" he taunted lowly. Sensing my distress, other maids began filing into the room. In case they were needed. Tortured souls that fell victim to his crimes began to show behind him. They could not be free while he still lived and breathed. My fist twitched. The man looked up at me in confusion, yes he felt it. He felt it in his bones. He did not know what this displeasure was, maybe because it was something he had never experiences before. He tried to cry out, but only made a few gurgles and squeaks. My hand slowly rose and I met him with a terrifying glare. Fear was strong in his eyes. "You dare mock me and my kingdom for sins I have falsely committed? You dare pretend you know who I am?" My voice rose in anger. The cold, pale hand raised up to him began to tremble with hot fiery outrage. Small holes began to show in the man's skin. Barely visible through the eyes of a human. Soon enough, his skin resembled a strainer. With a solid foundation, but holes. He trembled in agony. My fist clenched and the skin ripped apart. His flesh and organs were ripped and hurled towards the walls. Shards of frozen blood exploded out of his broken shell. "You know nothing of me," I whispered finally. The souls gave me a grateful smile, then walked into the after life. Their souls were saved, yet I felt regret knaw at my inner body. I quickly shook it off and turned to my loyal servants. "Go to dinner, I will be with you shortly. You may clean up this room afterwards," I ordered, avoiding eye contact with their blank eyes. They turned and went away in an organized manner as they usually did. My hands trembled with adrenaline. I gave a short sigh. I slipped out of the room and stopped. The middle aged woman stood before me. Her children's pleas ran through my mind. "Do you have any orders before I go to my meal, your majesty?" she asked softly. I came closer to observe her. "Can you speak on your own terms?" I counter asked. The woman stood in her same position unmoving. "No, my Queen," she answered blankly. I circled her slowly. Waiting for any sign that Ana's magick was weaker, yet. To my dismay, the woman did not act out of terms. She did not even so much as bat an eyelash without my order. "What is your name?" I murmered sadly. "Lucidia." "Lucidia," I repeated, trying the name out on my tongue. She looked up at me. "Yes?" "Go to dinner," I said. She turned and skirted off into the other direction. I would have to watch over the servants for dinner. Meredith might be there. I quickly walked in the same direction the woman disappeared to. I needed to speakwith her.

most of you guys have watched teen wolf can i post the story also

Chapter 4 Meredith sat near my large chair at the end of the dining table. I did not eat, of course, because I was immortal and eating was not necessary. Servants were still human and required regular feeding. I didn't mind, though. They acted most themselves during meals through idle chatter and were aloud thoughts to themselves as they ate. Meredith softly chewed on the meat on her plate, occasionally glancing at my expressionless face. "How are you finding the Ice Kingdom, Miss Ellsworth?" I asked softly. "It's definitely the most interesting place I've been to," she commented. I nodded. It surely was. "Aren't you lonely, Alise?" My startled eyes found hers. No one had ever dared such a question. It was such an obvious one. At least, in my opinion. Maybe all humans thought of me as a villain One with such a cold heart that I might find pleasure in killing in cold blood. A beautiful monster carved out of ice and hate. Maybe I was over thinking her question. I couldn't help over think it. Somewhere deep inside of me, I'd always wanted to hear the question be spoken aloud. It meant that someone actually cared enough to ask. That someone had concern of my misery. I continued to ponder the question for minutes, but realized Meredith was still staring at me waiting for my response. I looked down at her, trying to find something to say. She nodded in understanding and stared down at her food. I could faintly see her shivering. "Your body will adapt to the cold," I said sadly. Meredith shot me a quick smile. "I do hope it happens soon. I'm shivering under my skirts. They were made thick," she told me with humor. I suddenly realized how close the time was. She'd came just on time to see it! "We should go outside soon. My feet haven't touched the outside in so long," I exclaimed quickly. Ice powers had an advantage in creating. "That sounds nice. Shall we go now? My stomach is far to small to finish this." I agreed and dismissed the rest of the servants to sleep. Meredith's skirts rustled against the ice we ran across. I had to show her, she would miss it. "Why are we going so fast, Alise?" she laughed, running alongside me with the sides of her dress in her hands. "Just hurry," I panted. I threw open the castle doors. "Septentrionalium Luminum," I whispered in awe as I watched colors dance across the sky. "I've never seen them in real life," she breathed. I grinned and closed the doors behind me. My hands danced through the air. Ice lifted in different forms to make the colors reflect along the figures I created. I continued the dancing ice and created some other ice variables to make it a bit more spectacular. My favorite part of it was creating the show. I could feel the thousands of servants staring from their quarters. I'd tracked the times when it would come and put on a show for my servants every single time. It was the least I could do to ease their misery. "How do you do this?" "I'm an immortal ice queen," I laughed. It did have it's benefits. With ice there was always a love/hate relationship. You feel it in the winter. Do you ever find yourself staring at the snow outside thinking to yourself 'it's so beautiful'? A few days later, you're shivering in your peasant coats cursing the cold and swearing up and down that you hate it. You understand, that is how the ice works. So in this moment, every servant and I forgot about all of the troubles ice has brought us. We forget about all of our sins. We forget about why we were sent here. We forget about pain. We just watch in awe and think about nothing but how beautiful the ice can be. The lights slowly faded from the sky after hours of it's brilliant dance. Meredith and I sat in front of the castle doors, staring up at the clear sky. "I've never had a friend before," I muttered suddenly. She did not look away from the sky. "I haven't either," she said. "People are quite shallow, anyways. It's not like I wanted one," I scoffed. Meredith looked over at me. We grinned at each other. This is how our friendship started. Meredith was no longer my servant. She was my companion. For that, I am hopeful once again

Chapter 5: A few months later "What plans do you have for this winter?" Meredith and I were lazing around the kingdom on our usual day off. The kingdom was strangely warm in the presence of Meredith. Everyone was more at ease. Even the servants seemed to be happier. "Maybe add a blizzard or two in near the northern areas," I thought aloud. Everything was already prepared of course, but I felt the need to go over it with Meredith before Winter arrived. "You had a blizzard last year right?" she asked. I looked up at her. "Well, yes. Wouldn't it make more sense if I had one this year, too?" "I guess," she sighed, "I just think a blizzard is a little boring. Maybe you should give them time to enjoy the snow." "Humans don't enjoy snow. They sit in their cottages and wait for it to be over," I tried to reason. Meredith smiled and sat up. "Which is why we must show them," she suggested. I sat up, too. "How exactly do you plan to do that?" I wondered aloud. She had the strangest ideas at times. Once she convinced me to build a large slide of ice. "We will go to them! We'll make them have fun, humans can be so boring during Winter." I laughed at her idea. It was rude, but I could not help myself. It was such an unrealistic wish that was impossible to achieve. "You forget that I am bound to the ice here," I reminded her with a dismissing wave. "Being bound to ice does not limit the places you can be. Give me some metal silverware and two balls of your most sacred place's ice," Meredith instructed. I nodded and stood on my two feet again. The ice was cool, but not cold as it once was. My feet pitter- pattered against the floor as I hurried along to the dining hall. Servants eyes strayed from their tasks as they watched me rush past them. How peculiar that their eyes are filled with questions. I stopped right before entering the double doors and turned to my loyal servants. "Are your heads filled with questions that your mouth can not speak?" I boomed to them all. A few nodded uncertainly. I summoned them with my hand. I could feel the curiosity. "How are you feeling?" They were all silent in thought. It was an order to answer to me when I asked a question. Confusion filled me and excitement. "Different," a woman finally answered. The others nodded in agreement. "Do you feel the need to carry out my every order with out a thought to yourself?" I questioned. "Yes?" she answered. Her eyes were slightly fearful and confused. "Point me towards your most valued person in the hall." The woman pointed towards the servant next to her. "If it is so that you feel like you must follow my every order, than I order you to murder your beloved friend." The two looked at each other in angst. I smiled with satisfaction. "Alise? What on earth are you doing?" Meredith pushed past some servants. "You're taking so long. I came to find you only to see you've set your servants against each other?" "Murder your friend," I repeated to the woman. She lifted her hands to the other woman's throat. Meredith reached out and grasped my arm. She pulled me away, staring hard at me. "What the hell are you doing, Alise," she fumed staring me down. My smile faltered a little. "Trust me," I told her. I turned around to find an empty space where the two servants were standing. My smile came back full force and I turned back to Meredith. "They did not follow my orders," I murmered. "This makes you happy?" she asked. I chuckled at the disbelief in her eyes. "They did not follow my orders because they're new. The two did not follow my orders because they are like you. They have free will," I concluded, clearing up her confusion. Meredith grinned at me. "We must find them," she said, walking up to the double doors. I put a hand on her shoulder. "After I fetch those items you requested." "Why don't you just send some servants to get them?" My eyes swept around to the other servants. "Charlotte, bring Meredith some silverware from the dining hall." Charlotte nodded and quickly disappeared into the double doors. I turned back to Meredith. "I must retrieve the ice myself." "Alright, I'll wait in my quarters and begin as soon as Charlotte returns with the silverware," Meredith told me. We separated and I began down the hall towards the all seeing room. The familiar stair case disappeared underneath my feet in my hurry. There was no need to rush, but I wanted to see what Meredith was up to. I lifted my hand and twitched my fingers. Two perfect, small balls of ice floated into my hands from the walls. I closed my hand up them. I turned to leave, but the flicker in the walls made me turn. Ana stared at me from the transparent walls. "You haven't been here in a long time. You have not even bothered strengthening the wall," she muttered. I glared at her. "What do you want Ana? Winter is prepared and I have not done anything wrong," I told her calmly. She rolled her eyes. "A sister can't check up on her twin every once in a few hundred years?" Ana laughed. My expression remained unchanged and I said nothing. She stopped laughing abruptly and stared at me with an unexpected seriousness. "Alise, I've been waiting for you to come here for the past month. What has kept you so busy that you couldn't come spy on me?" "Nothing, I've just been keeping myself busy with Winter preparations," I lied. She could not know that I have free-willed servants. I could almost make out a trace of disappointment in Ana's face. "Why were you waiting for me?" "You must come to the royal palace to dinner. I must speak to you soon. Things are happening, Alise," she muttered, quickly. I warily stepped forward. "You haven't invited me into the royal castle since my banishment." Realization punched me in the gut. "You just want to use me again, right? All you wanted me for was to use me. What if I don't want to speak with you in person. For all you know, I still hate your living guts." I spat. Ana's eyes widened slightly at me accusations. As if she was innocent. Which only boiled my blood. "Let me set one thing straight. You can not and will never use me again," I yelled to her. She was silent. Then whispered something that threw me off completely. "You can do so much more than you realize, sister." Ana looked up at me one last time, then her image faded from the ice. What was that supposed to mean. My fists unclenched and I relaxed a bit. I had other things to worry about. I quickly blew on the ice balls, to prevent them from ever melting. Ana had left a lot of questions in my mind. The thought of it wore me out. I flicked my wrist and the ice under me carried me up the stairs. As soon as I was at the top, I stepped down from it and sent it back to the floors. Meredith was busy working with the metals she had received when I entered the room. I stepped up to her and looked over her shoulder. Before I could catch a glimpse at what it was, Meredith moved to block me. "I'm almost done," she said. Finally, she held up two frail chains. Meredith picked up one ball from my hand and stuck it into a pendant embedded into the necklace. She did the same with the other ball and slid the necklace over my neck. I looked down at the beautiful jewelry. "How did you create these with silverware?" I wondered, touching it with my thin fingers. Meredith leaned in and whispered, "Magick." "When i was a regular human, I practiced magick to separate myself from the others. It's all I had that made me different and I was good at it. Non-royal humans can do magick, too. Most just prefer not to," she explained, slipping her necklace around her neck. "Why haven't you told me before this?" She shrugged. "It never seemed important," she muttered distantly. I sat on her bed and laid on my back to stare up at the clear ceiling. "Ana requested me to be at dinner soon. I'm sure she'll send Abban to get me when she's ready for me to come. She seemed.....different," I confided, thinking about the way she acted. Meredith sat next to me. "That's strange. What do you think she wants?" She pondered. "At first I thought she wanted to use me again, but she said something before she left," I told her. "What did she say?" "You can do more than you realize," I whispered the words that held so much in my sisters mind. Meredith looked down at me. "What is that supposed to mean?" I stared up at the ceiling wondering the very same question.

Chapter 6Abban flew in at sun down. I sat on my throne, lazily. I did my best to look bored out of my wits and giving an annoyed sigh when he came to retrieve me. "Must I go, dear Abban?" I groaned, playing with a few crystals on my crown. The purely white owl perched on the arm of my throne. He cocked his head at me. "Of course you must. Aren't you the slightest curious as to why Ana requested your presence?" He asked as though Abban himself was curious. I smiled at him. "Why yes, I am very curious. I can't help but be bitter at the cruel woman who sent us all to this hell and for the most part have no desire to even lay eyes on her," I replied bitterly. Abban looked away from me and at Meredith who was at work cleaning something in her maids clothing. My friend played the part of a maid while Abban, under orders, was sent to the kingdom. Under his own circumstances, he could be told. When Ana sends him to deliver and take messages, he has to report any incidents he has seen. It's a messanger's curse. Abban's eyes stayed on Meredith for a moment to long before he returned to me. "That is understandable, Alise. Come now, you have a dinner to attend," he muttered. I hesitated. "Are you ready, Queen?" I nodded, then stood. I smoothed out my skirts and stood tall. Not to enforce that I did not care, but to convince myself that I did not. The necklace around Abban's neck glowed. I heard a faint sucking noise and light flowed into my line of vision. In a flash, I was standing in front of the throne. I gulped and looked up at the human version of myself. "Welcome back, sister," Ana greeted down to me. I glared up at her. "Your definition of welcome or mine," I spat. She smiled and stepped down. "It is the fire in your eyes that warms my heart. Come, let's dine," she mused heartily. Ana took my arm and led me down the grim, beautiful hallway. I stared hard at the side of her head. She was acting so unlike herself. I quickly jerked my arm out of her reach and stepped in front of her to look her full on. "I will not take another step until you tell me what is going on," I growled. Sprinkles of ice flecked across her face. Ana wiped them away quickly. "Calm yourself or you'll freeze to death," she warned me. "Stop avoiding my question," I shouted. Ana's face quickly became serious. She leaned in menacingly. "Keep your voice down," she whispered fiercely. "I will speak with you about this in good time. After dinner." I relaxed and stepped back to let her pass. Ana curtly nodded her head at me before walking past me. She pushed open the doors to reveal a long table with many people sitting around it. They all pushed their chairs back and stood quickly. Ana grinned at her subjects. "Queen Wynter has arrived," she announced dramatically. I inwardly sighed. Ana left me to find my seat. She set down at the very large chair at the end of the table. I sat in the one opposite her, obviously mine for it was the only chair empty. "What shall we expect from this years winter?" a man asked, taking a sip of red wine. "Long days and short nights," I muttered the obvious. That was none of my doing, though. "Excuse me, but if that is all you have brought me here for than I must be going." "Stay," Ana ordered from down the table. "My dear friend was just attempting idle chatter, Wynter. We have brought you here to discuss the matters of a few servants." I sat up quickly. I cleared my throat. "Which servant to do you speak of?" My voice cracked. Did Ana know about the free-willed servants? Most important. Did she know about Meredith? "Francine Bradly and Hannalise Marie," the man told me. I thought of the two new servants I had faced before coming here. They had free-will like Meredith, but did not talk to me. I pushed them out of my mind and shook my head. "I have heard nothing of them. You see, I have thousands of servants and it is hard to keep track of who is who these days," I lied smoothly. My servants might be criminals, but I would protect them at all costs. They were the life of the kingdom. "I see. No matter. They were not important anyways," Ana tossed aside the rest of that conversation and the meal continued in silence. Ana's subjects parted ways after the meal, not once glancing in my direction. I sighed and stood. She took my elbow and led me away from the dining hall. "Now, tell me what you really brought me here for," I demanded quietly. She pulled me into a great room. I couldn't tell what reason this room had for being in the castle, but it was off to the side with no one inside. "There are things happening that I can not explain right now, Alise," Ana whispered urgently. Her cold, mean exterior had completely vanished and was replaced with concern. I stared at her in shock. "You have been acting so strangely, Ana," I stammered uncertainly. I was so overwhelmed with confusion that I could hardly think of a response to her statement. "Alise, I am so sorry for what I have done. Something big is going to happen, sister. It could change everything. You can do more than you realize," she told me. "What concern is that of yours?" Her blonde hair bounced as she shook her head. "You do not understand. I need you to understand, Alise. I will send Abban for you and we will meet again sometime soon." Ana looked flustered and shaken up by the unspoken thoughts in her head. My mouth opened a bit in surprise. "Can we not explain the matters at hand now?" I asked. "Abban! Take her back," Ana called out the door. My favorite messenger flew in and perched on my shoulder. "You will understand one day, sister." White flooded my vision. I reached my hand out to grasp my twin. "Ana, wait!" I yelled, groping around for a firm thing to hold onto. Her wispy blonde strands so like my old ones disappeared and I was standing in my throne room once again. I turned and found Meredith standing behind me in her regular skirts. She looked at me curiously. I stared back incredulously.

......................chapter 7................................ "Maybe she's trying to warn you of something," Meredith offered thoughtfully. "Warn me of what?" I shouted in frustration. "This is nothing like Ana! Ana is evil. Ana is cold. Ana does not care about anyone." The words I had screamed echoed on the flat walls and swarmed around me. Meredith waited for it to quiet before calmly replying, "Maybe you were wrong about Ana after all." I stared up at my dear friend. Was I? I stood up quickly. "Meredith, take this." I pulled a piece out of my arm and watched it heal rapidly. Meredith stared at the piece of flesh in disgust. "What am I supposed to do with this, Alise?" She asked in wonder. I floated the piece in the air and molded it into a pill. It settled in the palm of her hand. "Eat it," I said simply. Meredith threw it. "Careful!" It paused in the air. I placed it back in her hand. "Why would I want to eat it? It's your skin!" she exclaimed. I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Fine, I guess you don't want to see it," I hinted, turning away from her. Meredith stood, staring down at it. She tossed it in her mouth and gulped it down. "That was horrific. Now show me," she ordered impatiently. Her skin tinted a lighter shade of blue and her eyes paled. I smiled at her glowing blue skin. "Did you just kill me?" I glanced up at her with surprise. "Why on Earth would I do that?" I was a bit upset at her sudden assumption. Meredith laughed and looked down at her skin. "Alise, you're the Ice Queen. You can't help but be a bit suspicious when a piece of skin pill is handed to you to ingest," Meredith said easily. I rolled my eyes and took her wrist with my hand. "You're so human, Meredith," I laughed, pulling her along. She followed reluctantly. "I have something to show you." I led her through a maze of hallways and skidded across the floor in front of the hidden door. Meredith stood beside me, watching curiously as I pressed my index finger on the cold glass. I trailed the worn path of the lock. The door slid open silently. "This is the most important room in all of the Ice Kingdom. Carved from every drip of magick my younger self could muster," I announced proudly. I was ready to show someone my secret. "Why did I need that magick pill to go into a room?" Meredith asked, taking a careful step onto the staircase. "If you didn't have some of me in your system, you would freeze to death attempting to get to the room. My entire body is laced with the magick of the Ice Kingdom. As I've said before, I am the ice," I explained easily. "I don't want to be alone anymore. You're coming with me and we're going to see what Ana is really up to." Meredith gave a gasp of surprise when I pulled the ice out of the floor beneath us. It carried us down the stairs. I could feel her curiosity heighten while her eyes began adjusting to the dark stairwell. I stepped down from the ice platform and helped Meredith get off. Her eyes widened as she took in the room in front of her. "It's so beautiful," she breathed incredulously. "I know," I answered shortly. "Show me the royal courts under Ana Harlow's rule!" The royal court appeared on the ice screen, the castle standing out. Meredith watched silently next to me. "Show me Ana Harlow," I commanded. The image switched to the face of my sister. She glanced up at us for a quick second then continued droning on to her subjects. "We must fight hard, and conquer!" She finished, holding her proud grin. "Is it just me or did she look at us?" Meredith piped suddenly through the echoed cheers of the people. "I have to rebuild the barrier," I told her shamefully. I hadn't gotten around to it. Meredith and I watched Ana step down the throne, not bothering to answer the adoring comments the people offered her. She lifted her skirts and picked up her pace. "What are you rushing for, Ana?" I asked loudly. I stepped a footstep closer to the screen, feeling like it would help me understand what was going on in her head. Ana looked up at me as she hurried. She shook her head and stopped at the huge double doors of her quarters. The boom echoed around the room when she slammed them shut. It echoed, and echoed, and echoed. Then, there was silence as we stared each other down. "You were literally here not even two days ago. Miss me so soon?" Ana teased. Her short chuckle had a hint of negativity in it. I tilted my head in confusion. "Ana, you must understand that I am extremely confused with all of this," I exclaimed, throwing my hands up. I paced back and forth while she answered. "And you will be for a while. When the time comes you will understand everything," Ana hesitated. Her expression hardened as she spoke,"I think it was a mistake speaking with you." I froze and twirled to the screen. Hot anger boiled my blood. "You regret telling me? After a hundred years of watching you send innocent people to the Ice Kingdom. After a hundred years of watching the same exact face that destroyed my family live in the lap of luxury and the only thing you regret is giving me some truth?" I screamed at her. Hot, angry tears fell from my cheeks as I screamed the next words as loudly as I could. Something I'd wanted to tell the world for the past hundred years. "I have nothing," I emphasized each word. "I hate you." Hurt flashed across Ana's face while I spilled out years of anger. She'd stiffened a bit as I spoke. "You just don't understand. It was necessary," she tried. "For what? I don't think you understand. I hate you more than I hate anything on this entire planet. More than I hate this prison you've built around me." "I saved you. It was to save you," Ana yelled at me. A humorless laugh erupted from my chest. "One day you'll understand, Alise. I'm sorry that I can't be sorry for what I've done to you." "Stop," I screamed to the screen. Her image froze and began to fade. Her green eyes stared into me. I ripped a knife of ice of of the ground and flung it at the screen. It thudded and fell back to the ground. "Alise." I spun around in surprise. I must have forgotten Meredith was even present. "Maybe she was speaking the truth." "She's not. Ana Harlow is pure evil and she never tells the truth," I spat bitterly. Meredith stared at me. "She might be evil, but at least she's not ignorant. You're going to drown in your bitterness and anger. Take me back up now," She ordered. I looked down at my beautiful gown, staring hard at it's seams and crystals. My fingers wrapped around the crown. I lifted it off of my head and inspected it. Everything was beautiful. Nothing was at all. I threw it down and watched it shatter into a million ice shards. "Step up to the staircase. I'll send you up without me," I muttered, lifting a platform of ice out of the ground. Meredith stepped up onto it gracefully this time and went up in silence. I could almost feel the door shut. The loneliness sank in. I screamed and pounded my fists onto the wall. Everything was wrong. Hey guys! I'm so sorry it took me so long to update! Comment and tell me what you think of the new chapter!

................................chapter 8................................ "What's going on here?" I demanded, pushing through the crowd of servants gathered in the main hall. Their eyes darted from one to another nervously as if questioning to share it with me. "She says she's going to save the kingdom, your highness," Charlotte piped up bravely. I stared down at them, making their skin crawl. I let out a humorless laugh. "Save the kingdom from what?" I asked, looking each of them in the eyes. A dark thought passed through my mind. "From me?" Charlotte stood silently. I wasn't sure if their silence was a nervous answer or just plainly not knowing. A warm laugh rang through the room. "Of course not, my queen. You are no danger to this palace or to any of us." A tall woman pushed past the servants to face me. Soft red curls barely fell past her round chin. "I do believe though, you can help save this kingdom." I stood a little straighter as I glared down at her. "Of which matters do you speak of?" I demanded rudely. She studied me for a second and stepped closer. "Matters that should be spoken of privately," she mumbled quietly, motioning to the servants. "Just let me get Mere-" I stopped and bit my lip. Meredith probably wouldn't enjoy my company right now anyways, but I couldn't trust this woman to know her. The woman sighed impatiently. "Meredith should be left out of this," she said anxiously. My eyes widened. Who on Earth was this woman? She gave me a toothy smile. "Lead the way." "Back to your tasks!" I shouted to the servants. She watched them scatter. Without waiting, I hurried down the hallway to the throne room. Meredith would be resting in her quarters for the rest of the night, knowing her. The doors boomed behind us as it closed. I paced in front of the woman. "First of all, who are you?" I asked. "Ema Bartholomew, at your service," Ema gave a short curtsy. "I'm part of a group of rebels working to end the royal courts and return our friends and family home safely. As you must know, some criminals get sent here for the smallest of things. We want to bring justice to our people." I rolled my eyes. Justice was such a humanly wish. "Why would your petty little justice thing harm my kingdom?" "For the past few years, a war has risen just around the edges of the courts," Ema revealed quietly. "Queen Ana believes it has something to do with you and wants it to end. She's planning to use you in the war to destroy the rebellion. Then, she will destroy you and everything good you have brought to this kingdom. Prisoners will be sent to the darkest parts of the world to be enslaved and killed." I froze. I could feel my energy slowly draining from me, leaving me hollow. "What did you just say?" I asked uneasily. "Ana is going to kill you and destroy the ice kingdom," she repeated a little bolder. Anger built up again. A hot fire roared inside of me. I turned away from Ema, towards the throne and began walking. I wiggled my fingers above my head as I walked, recreating my crown. Ice crystals glittered in the light as I sat on my throne, staring at Ema with a stone cold expression. "I will send a servant to fetch Meredith. We must work toward a solution quickly," I told her. Ema tensed up. "Do not tell Meredith you know of this," she pleaded. I stared down at her hotly. "Why not?" I boomed in frustration. Ema frowned, then sighed. "Meredith is working with Ana," she informed me. Something flashed in her eyes, but I couldn't quite catch it. Dread left a sour taste in my mouth. My stomach turned with the feeling of betrayal. "Oh," I choked out quietly. Ema did not reply. "Tell my servants to keep a close eye on Meredith for me." Ema nodded, then turned to leave. "Oh, and Ema," I called ,"tell your rebel leaders that Wynter, the Queen of the Ice Kingdom, will do everything in her power to take down Ana." Ema grinned gratefully and scurried away. I stared at the wall across the room blankly. An ice storm poured down outside, to match my awful mood. A few pieces of ice drifted away from the rest, tickling my cheek lightly. There was no way Ana could destroy me. After all, I am Queen Wynter. The most feared queen in existence.

.......................... Chapter 9................................ I found Meredith the next morning lounging in her quarters. She barely glanced up. "I'm sorry about what happened last night, Alise," she mumbled softly. I smiled quickly when she looked back up. "It's fine, I know you were just trying to help me," I said. She nodded in what I hoped was understanding. I really needed to know what she was up to. As much as I wanted to tear her to pieces with shards of ice, I couldn't. The thought of it brought me comfort through the betrayal. My hand twitched slightly and Meredith shifted uncomfortably. "I feel a bit strange," Meredith muttered rubbing her arms. I forced my hands to relax. At least I'd gotten to freeze some of her before making it melt. She stood and came closer. "Are you alright?" "Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out what to do about Ana," I half-lied. I was in a way. Just not the way Meredith thought. She nodded yet again understanding. I heaved a heavy sigh and dropped down onto her bed. "Everything is so confusing right now." "I know, after winter has passed it will be easier to figure things out," my best friend reasoned. Meredith sounded so much like herself and not the evil person she really was. Such a heartless thing to do, befriending a queen that has no one. I pushed myself off of her bed in standing position so I could face her fully. "We will figure things out and people,too," I muttered, hoping she could hear the double meaning in my voice. Something flickered in Meredith's eyes. Confusion? Probably just what I wanted to see. An innocence to redeem my traitor best friend. She smiled and placed her hand on my arm. "Together we will," she exclaimed happily as if glad of our friendship. I did not respond, but instead backed away from her offering of joy. "Um yes, together. For now, though, I have matters to attend to," I stated, trying to sound more like a queen than a friend. I wiped expression off of my face to be the last thing she saw before I left. My cold exterior threw Meredith off. She swallowed uncertainly and sat back down onto her bed gently. "Alright..." she said quietly. I did my best to walk out of the room with my head held high, but couldn't help but let it hang a little in my upset. Ema caught my eye as I retreated. She stood down the hall from Meredith's door. The woman nodded curtly, trying to empower me. Trying to tell me that I am not wrong this. I forced a smile in her direction, but passed by her without saying a word. The further I walked, the darker my mood became. Soon enough I was trudging down the hall with my head hanging low in defeat. Ana wanted to hurt me, well now she has. Two servants rushed past me. I let them pass with a deep sigh. "Excuse us," one of them said politely as she passed. My head shot up in recognition. I spun around. "Halt!" I ordered their retreating figures. They continued on as if they had not heard me. I lifted my hand and partially froze their blood for a quick second to stop their motion. The two women fell forward in surprise. "I'm very sorry for that." I hurried to their aid, holding my hands out to help them up. They both stared up at me hesitantly. The first one took my hand and grunted as I pulled her up. "Very lovely to see you again Charlotte," I said to the one I recognized. Charlotte stared at my hand, but finally allowed me to help her up. "Did you need something, your highness?" she asked, trying to hold her servant status. I smirked at her attempt knowingly. "You did not obey me when I offered my hand," I said through my small smile. Charlotte wrung her hands together nervously. "I'm sorry, Queen Wynter," she mumbled. Her eyes darted to her equally as nervous companion. My small smile broke into a full on grin, feeling a bit relieved. "Don't be sorry. I'm sorry for what Ana had done to you," I hugged her. Charlotte stiffened in surprise. "Um." "You can speak for yourself and for that, I am glad," I breathed, pulling back. "Who are you?" "Belle," Charlotte's companion told me softly. I smiled at both of them. "Belle, Charlotte, I must speak with both of you in private," I looked around for Meredith or Ema's prying eyes. They exchanged a glance, but followed me as I left. The throne room was free of both people I wanted to be away from. I sealed the door with a little magick and turned to the girls excitedly. "You both see things around the kingdom that escape my eyes." "I-I guess a few things," Charlotte stuttered. I took my place on the throne. "Have you seen any suspicious activity from a servant named Meredith?" I asked in a hushed voice. Charlotte shrugged. "Nothing out of the ordinary. Unless you count her dresses and perky attitude suspicious," she muttered. "Well..." Belle began uncertainly. "Yes?" "Sometime yesterday, she did something strange," she continued,"She hurried past me, nearly knocked me over, I heard something like sliding on the wall like she was sliding her fingers on the wall as she walked, but when I turned around she was not there. As if she'd just disappeared." Meredith had attempted to go to the all seeing room. She'd known about it. My temporary joy broke and my smile became a frown yet again. So she was up to something. "What's this about?" Charlotte asked. My eyes flickered back to her. "Report to me next time you see suspicious activity from Meredith or a new servant named Ema," I ordered. "Dismissed." Belle fled the room, but Charlotte stayed where she was. She stepped to my throne, looking at me with concern. "Wynter, all of us servants greatly appreciate you. We do not blame you for us being put here. You treat us better than we would be treated back home and you have saved us from starvation," she told me. My face twisted in surprise. "You do? I did?" I wondered. None of them had ever told them what they were thinking, even so appreciation was far from what I expected. She nodded. "A few of us servants can see what's happening," she informed me. "You were happy for months, then something happened. We don't know what, but you've been even more distant than you were before Meredith came." I didn't reply. I just stared up at her piercing green eyes in wonder. "Now tell me, what is wrong," Charlotte asked kindly. I gulped and looked away. "Meredith is working for Ana to destroy the kingdom for good." the words came out in a jumbled rush as if I'd been dying to get them out since I was told. Charlotte's eyebrows furrowed as she tried to understand what I'd just said. "What? She seemed so sincere." "Exactly," I whispered, avoiding her eyes. "Hey, at least she's not the only one you can talk to anymore," Charlotte smiled hopefully at me. I knew what she meant and I was grateful for it. "Thank you so much." My Queen Wynter exterior broke away as I stood to hug her. For a moment, I could be Alise again. For the next hour, I told her the whole story of what happened. Occasionally, she'd provide her opinion on it or throw in a question. A weight lifted off of my shoulder. A knock on the door brought me to silence. Charlotte and I stood from our places in the middle of the floor. She hurried up the steps to the throne and pretended she was doing some cleaning on it. I flickered my fingers, swinging the door open. Meredith gave a quick wave and stepped in. "I haven't seen you around the kingdom for a few hours so I thought I'd fetch you," she told me, tugging on a strand of brown hair. "Let's go," I said, taking her elbow and leading her away. I turned to close the doors. Charlotte met my eyes. Good luck, she mouthed. I smiled and shut the doors.

Could Meredith be a betrayal? let's wait and see den

Expecting more.... Loving this....

.......................... Chapter 10...................... I glared at the side of Meredith's head as we marched through the halls. I knew where we were going by the way she smiled eagerly. We'd made a pact months ago to keep it a secret place. It was ours and no one elses. "I figured we should come here more often. With so many things happening, you need a break," Meredith explained sincerely. I slipped my cold arm out of hers and backed away. "This is very kind of you, but I hardly have time for rest," I lied, avoiding her eyes. She sighed and ran a hand through her mousy brown hair. "You're starting to sound like Wynter again. Are you still mad at me?" She wondered with a bit of disappointment. I smiled tightly at her. I probably looked more scary than the thoughtfulness I intended. "Of course not, I just-" "Great! Let's go." Again, Meredith took my arm and began dragging me. I gave up on trying. She led me further into the arctic, heading for a thick blizzard. "I need you from here, Alise." I inwardly cringed at my name. Not just my name, but the sacred piece of my past escaping her lying lips. I pushed aside a path of the blizzard. Months ago, sometime after the lights, Meredith and I had built a private place for us to escape the outside world. The clouds always furiously snowed, creating a blizzard to conceal our hideout. Usually, we'd spend our days lazing about in it. I hadn't been back since I saw Ana talk to me in the all seeing room. It was basically a giant igloo house. I closed the path through the blizzard as soon as we made it to the entrance tunnel. I played with the ice to make sunlight reflect in, to light our path. I led Meredith down the twists of the tunnel. It was our secret place, so it was easy to get lost trying to come in. "I can never remember the right way to go," Meredith laughed. I forced a smile at her. "I hardly remember myself," I lied. In less than a minute, we were standing at the real entrance to the hangout. Meredith ran to the warm pool I'd created when I made it. We'd made it together really. I constructed the pool and melted the water for Meredith to heat up with her weaker magick. "It's something magick practicers teach themselves to learn first. It makes cooking a lot easier," she'd said at the time. I slid my fingers along the bookshelves. Filled with books Abban had collected over his travels. I'd read all of them over twenty times, but Meredith didn't have a hundred years to do that like I did so she wanted them in here. Meredith peeled off her thick dress, stripping down to her under garments. She jumped into the pool eagerly. "Oh how I've missed the warmth," she breathed, floating on her back in the center. I stayed at the edge of the room, watching her carefully for a slip up. If she'd lasted almost a year without a slip up, I doubt she'd have one now. "Don't you want to swim?" I pursed my lips at the thought. If I wanted to observe her as her natural self I suppose I should at least attempt to be normal. Without taking my ice gown off, I slowly stepped into the pool. The warm water melted my dress off so I wouldn't have to bother with it. I could feel the color returning to my cheeks. Thick blonde hair unfroze from my crown and fell around my face. I tucked back a few stray hairs and smiled at Meredith. "I can never get over how human you look in the pool," Meredith breathed in awe. A warm, bubbly giggle escaped my lips without my permission. How could this girl be a liar? How could Meredith Ellsworth be a traitor? As the warm water melted the ice, I could feel more emotions. It was the only place I was most vulnerable. My powers never went away, but I was more human here than anywhere else. "I wish it could be like this forever," I sighed. "Things will be back to normal after this war Ana is going on about is over," Meredith told me in a matter- of-fact voice. I choked back every horrible feeling that wanted to spill out through words. She'd only use the knowledge to my disadvantage. "Of course," I managed, looking away. Meredith grinned at me mischievously. I backed away slowly. "Mer..." I started. "Don't you dare." She sent a huge wave of warm water towards me with her arm. I squealed and dove under the water. I could hear her laughter above water. I froze water under to form a snowball. It floated above water. "No no!" Meredith shouted. The snow sprayed all over her, bits landing in her hair. "Ahh it's so cold!" She dunked under and came back up. "Let's discuss that new servant." Meredith and I were sprawled out on the couch with fairly large books in our hands. I looked up from my book. Don't panic, I reminded myself. "What about her," I asked nonchalantly. She shrugged, then set her book down. "Doesn't she seem a little, I don't know, strange?" "I haven't noticed," I lied, setting my book down next to me. Meredith sighed and rested her head against the arm of the couch. "She seems a bit edgy, even for the free willed servants," she told me as if I hadn't really noticed. I rolled my eyes at her, with a smile. "Don't worry about it. She's probably just angry that she was sent here," I muttered. "Sure," Meredith replied distantly, studying the ceiling. I picked up my book again and started where I left off. "You've seemed a bit distant lately." I sighed and set my book down again. Then, I moved to an upright position. "I could say the same for you." Weak reply, I know. Meredith sat up, too. "What's wrong?" she asked knowingly. I shook my head. "Oh come on, I can tell when you're lying." "I'm not. I'm just stressed," I lied smoothly. She was good, but she wasn't that good. Meredith accepted my answer and went back to relaxing.

........................... Chapter 11 ........................... "I just want answers!" I screamed to Meredith. "Just tell me the truth! Are you trying to destroy me?" Meredith smirked at me and straightened up from her hunched position. "That was the plan," she spat. "In my stay here, I've come to realize that you're actually very good at doing that to yourself. You're weak, Alise Harlow. You are weak." The truth echoed in my ears. In my head. I couldn't escape it. Meredith was admitting to her betrayal and I was still standing here, wondering what I should do. Maybe I was weak after all. Meredith grimaced suddenly and her face twisted into worry. "No! You aren't weak, Alise. You're stronger than any living being I've ever met in this world and out of it," she cried desperately. "It's not me. We are friends. I am your friend and you are mine. We know each other." Meredith was suddenly jerked to the ground, stomach first. Her wild eyes looked back up at mine. "You can't kill me, Alise Harlow. You're not strong enough," she hissed. I yelled in anger and slashed my hand through the air, causing Meredith to shatter. No, not Meredith. People don't shatter do they? Yet there she was, shattering like a mirror. Then, that's what she was. That is what I was. Or what I was staring at anyways. Was that me? I stared back at the pale girl in front of me. Her, my, rips showed through the crystal dress. My, her, blonde hair hung past my thin shoulders. This wasn't me was it? "Alise..." no it was not me. Ana reached a sickly hand up to my cheek. Her ice cold fingers traced down the side of my face. Ana doubled over in pain. "Ana?" I asked, kneeling down to help her straighten up. Ana screamed in agony when my hand touched her. I pulled back quickly. "Monster," she gasped, glaring up at me. My heart sank and I backed away a little. "No, Alise. Me." "What are you talking about?" I demanded. My mind raced in confusion. Ana lifted a shaky finger to point behind me. I turned. My hand flew up to my mouth. Tears flooded my eyes and fell before I could stop them. My family was in front of me, slain. Ripped apart with only their faces left to indicate who they were. My mothers dead eyes bored into mine. They still screamed in fear where her mouth could not. Two hands grabbed my arm and roughly turned me around. A healthy Ana Harlow stared at me with fire in her eyes. Her usually neat hair was a wild mess that cascaded down from the top of her head. "We must go," she said. Ana began to walk, pulling me along with her. My feet stumbled along behind her against my heads orders to stop. "No," I finally croaked, yanking my arm back. "We don't have time for this," Ana pleaded, glancing behind me. "They'll catch up if we continue this slowly." "Who?" I asked. She gave me an exasperated sigh which quickly turned into a startled gasp. My eyes drifted downwards. The tip of a sword shone through her dress. Blood began seeping into it. Our eyes shot back up at each other. "Ana!" I lifted my hands to hold her shoulders. She smiled at me. "I did it for you," she whispered. Ana's eyes rolled to the back of her head and her body collapsed in front of me. I shook her body. "Did what for me? What's going on?" I sobbed. On on on. The words echoed into the blackness. Ema stepped out of the darkness. "What are you doing here?" Her red hair appeared as fire on her head. She stared down at me without answering. "Alise, look out," a female voice screamed behind me. Suddenly, a knife whizzed past my ear and landed in the side of Ema's head. Instead of dying, she came closer. Blood dripped down the side of her face. When she grinned, blood leaked out of the sides of her mouth. She began singing a lullaby that sounded eerily similar to an old lullaby Ana and I created long ago when our mother was away a lot. The words gurgled from her mouth along with the blood. The final note choked out from her exasperated song before Ema smiled at me. Her teeth were sharp and covered in blood. I backed away. "Where have you been?" a woman asked behind me. I turned quickly. "I was looking all over for you!" Charlotte stood, smiling at me as if nothing had happened. "Help," I whispered. "Charlotte, help!" "Who's the liar, Alise," she whispered. A scream exploded into the air. I woke screaming. I sank further into the safety of my bed. What time was it? The darkness seemed to be closing in on me, but I couldn't close my eyes for fear that the nightmare would come back. I lifted a finger to the ceiling. A soft glow lit up my room. "Who's the liar, Alise?" I whispered to myself

the last episode na dream @Tenniebenson

........................ Chapter 12 ........................ "Good morning, Alise," Meredith greeted cheerfully as I entered the dining hall. I gave a nod and sat down at the end of the table. "Did you sleep well?" I asked her. Things were going to be moving fast today and I wanted things to be as normal between Meredith and I as possible until everything was completely destroyed. Charlotte sat across from Meredith, she smiled up at me. "Yes I did, thank you for asking," Meredith replied. "Did you sleep well, Charlotte?" I looked at both of them in confusion. Charlotte and Meredith giggled at my apparent lack of knowledge of them knowing each other. "We've met. I helped Meredith with getting around the kingdom and gave her some tips on how to be a proper servant because with free-will you really have no idea what you're supposed to be doing," Charlotte explained after she swallowed her last mouthful of breakfast. She looked down at her plate shamefully. "She, uh, made me a necklace too." Noticing mine as well. "I wanted us all to go out together sometime, so I molded a necklace for her as well. Charlotte would make a lovely friend for the both of us," Meredith told me with a grin. Did Charlotte tell Meredith what I'd said before? If she had, Meredith made no indication of knowing anything. "A word with both of you in the throne room after second meals?" I asked quietly. Meredith glanced at Charlotte, whose eyes didn't graze from mine as if she was trying to reassure me. There was no need to. Charlotte had been here long enough to know she would be trustworthy as a free willed servant. They both nodded and watched me stand up without another word. Maybe it was the tone in my voice. I stepped away from the table. "Have a lovely morning," I muttered to Meredith before I left. She only gave a nod on reply. I walked away slowly, counting the steps in my head as I walked. A bony hand slithered onto my shoulder. I spun quickly. "Ema," I gasped. "Hey, have you figured out a plan?" she asked, falling into step beside me. "I'm going to ask Meredith," I told her quickly. I could feel disapproval from her in my decision. "She'll lie," Ema tried. I shrugged. "I've had servants keep an eye on her and so far they haven't found anything suspicious. With Ana's talk of something big coming I'd like to hurry things along," I explained. "I can't stay stuck in this constant feeling of betrayal of the unknown. I have to know why she did it." Or if she was really a traitor in the first place, but that was not something I would say aloud to Ema. I wasn't going to completely trust her because we had only met a few days ago. "She-" A white object came flying through the window and perched on my shoulder. I smirked smugly at the Ema's expression. "Hello Abban," I greeted pleasantly. Hope lit up my smile. Of course! Why hadn't I thought of asking Abban in the first place. He was the messenger and overseer of all of the kingdom of ice and the royal courts which means he sees everything that happens around here. "I must speak with you privately." "Of course, but be quick. Ana has requested your presence," he informed me. I excused myself and walked away from Ema. I closed the door behind me in the nearest room I found. "Who is that girl?" I asked him urgently. Abban shook his wing and cocked his head. "Strange for sure. I've never seen her face in any of the lands I've traveled to," he murmured. "Her name is Ema Bartholomew. She says she is part of a resistance group working towards ending the royal rule," I told him. "Ask animals everywhere if they've seen anything. I'm very unsure about her." "How is Meredith? I haven't seen her in quite some time." I tensed up a bit. "She's...Abban, do you think Meredith would betray me?" I asked suddenly. "Now where would you get such a ridiculous idea?" he asked. "I've seen her files in the royal courts. Meredith has not lied about where she came from and who she used to be." Relief overwhelmed me. "Our little rebel friend Ema dropped the tip," I said grimly. "You can ask Ana about her when you go." I looked over at him with a weird expression on my face. "You trust her?" I asked incredulously. "Also, I'd like to take Charlotte and Meredith with me. No matter if Meredith is betraying me, I still want her there to help me sort out my mind." "There is something about Ana that has changed. She's been locked in her study for weeks working on something. I only see her out during trails and an occasional meal. If you haven't noticed, the shipment of servants has thinned out a bit in the last week," Abban pointed out. I frowned. "Go find Meredith and Charlotte and bring them back to me so we can leave," I ordered. "Yes your highness." I opened the door to let Abban fly out and waited. Was what had happened bigger than what Ana did to me? My mind wondered back to the weeks leading up to my trial a hundred years ago. "The king wants you as a bride?" Our mother asked happily. Ana and I had just arrived home from an annual ball. My sisters face glowed in the dim light of our kitchen. My family cheered around the table. "We'll be rich!" James chided in excitement. Ana's long curls bounced as she nodded her head. "We shall not starve any longer!" She exclaimed. I embraced her in a hug. "Congratulations, Ana. You deserve this more than any of us," I whispered. After all, Ana worked two jobs. One during most of the day and one late at night. I only worked one. She pulled back and gave me a huge grin. "You deserve to be happy too sister," she said. "I want you to come live with us in the castle." My family cheered again. My smile brightened at her suggestion. We stared at each other with big goofy grin on our faces before I looked back at the family. "We must feast!" I called to them. Our uncles stood briskly. "We'll hunt and cook all of the meats we find!" Uncle Henry told us. The men filed out leaving us women to gather the rest of the meal. We spent the rest of the afternoon cooking soups and baking breads. The men returned from hunting and butchering and waited for us to cook the raw meat. "The harder we work, the stronger we are and the more we receive!" they boomed in song. Ana and I danced around the kitchen with our cousins and brothers, laughing at the simplest of things. The feast was fabulous. Everything seemed perfect until the next visit to the castle. That is when it all began.

.......................... Chapter 13 ................................ "I must make it clear to you that your family coming is not a part of this marriage," the king boomed, staring down at the rest of us. Ana's lush curls bounced when she turned her head to look back at us. Our eyes met. What shall I do? I glanced at the king and back to my sister. You have no other choice, Ana. Her smile, which had once been real but is now very forced, faltered a bit. I knew what she was thinking. She knew what I was thinking. Ana and I had never been apart for longer than a measly couple of hours. I lent her encouragement and strength while she faced the king. "We will not leave my family in such poor conditions," Ana told him firmly. Her voice was strong. I smiled in pride. "They have been living in such poverty that my sister and I work to keep us all fed on a meager bite of fresh bread loafs and a hunk of beef. If I leave them with nothing, they'll die." The king narrowed his eyes at her. I could almost hear Ana's gulp in fear. His eyes softened and he motioned Ana closer. She took a hesitant step and he leaned into her ear. I couldn't catch his words. We all stood awkwardly for a few minutes while the king spoke to Ana. She leaned back and looked down at the ground. The guards stepped closer to us. "Goodbye family. I wish you the best of lives in our parting and I-" she stopped and looked up at me. Ana's eyes were full of something I'd never seen before. An intense emotion I'd never witnessed before and could not place for the life of me. I'm sorry, she said to me and only me. I felt my stomach turn. Her farewell seemed to echo around me. Ana Harlow and I were always together. We were one whole. Sisters that could never be broken apart, yet here we were. So easily taken from each other. So willingly given up it seems. Her next words took my shock to the next level. "I banish you, Alise, from the royal courts forever. Farewell sister." I felt many mixed emotions ripping apart my insides after her banishment. Betrayal, rage, confusion, hatred, and a very very strong desire for revenge. It was all of those emotions that led up to the day of my other banishment. We were sent home by the guards. I was mostly just pushed along since my feet refused to do much of anything. My mind wouldn't leave the room I'd been first banished in. I frowned and looked up. We'd stopped or they had anyways. One of my brothers grunted in annoyance when I ran into him. "Sorry," I muttered. Our mother whacked him on the back of the head. "Don't give her any of that, she's just been banished from the royal courts. Leave her be for a while and remember who buys your meals boy," she hissed. I did not smile in amusement at her pestering over the small incident. I only gave my brother an empty look because that was exactly how I felt. His gaze dropped and he skidded away. I could feel my family's stares boring into me as they worked around the house. I felt embarrassed tears threatening to spill from my eyes. My eyes connected with mom's and she gave a nod to dismiss me from my evening chores. As soon as I'd received the approval, I hurried to my room and threw myself on my bed. Hot tears dropped onto my pillow. I pressed the thin blanket against my mouth and let out a muffled scream. My entire being literally ached with emotions. My life line had just left and it was up to me to keep our family alive. I could not even go to the royal market for the rare gift Ana and I usually bought for a holiday. I glanced over at Ana's empty bed. The pain became unbearable. "Ana!" I screamed into my blankets. "Alise," Meredith peaked her head out from behind the door. My skirts swayed as I hurried to the door and pulled it open further. Charlotte tumbled in after her. Abban flew in and perched on my shoulder. "Queen Ana wants to meet with me again," I told them. I pulled Meredith to my left side with my left hand and pulled Charlotte to my right side with my right hand. "What are we-" A bright light flashed. We were standing hand in hand in Ana's quarters in the castle. Light moved around my hands. I lifted them, feeling magick tickle my skin. I sealed the room and cut off the other's magick. "No one is leaving this room until we've discussed everything," I ordered, staring each person in the eye. Abban chuckled and flew to sit on a chair. Ana smiled and looked at my companions. "I see you've brought company. What an unexpected surprise," she muttered.

........................ Chapter 14...................... I gave her a tight smile. "Always lovely to see you sister," I hissed angrily. Frustration had built up, and it was all pouring out now. Ana leaned against a bookcase and eyed Charlotte and Meredith. Abban leaned closer, waiting for her response. She pursed her lips. "So there's obviously been a lot more going on than I thought," Ana muttered. I laughed. "What is your association with Meredith Ellsworth," I demanded, taking a step closer to watch her closely. Ana hesitated, but I knew she had been waiting to tell me. This was it. This was the thing Ana had been hinting about this whole time. It could possibly be what changed her. "They said they needed you," she began. "The counsel was going to take you away and use you, then kill you and the people associated with you to prevent a rebellion." I furrowed my eyebrows. What did that have to do with free willed servants being sent to my castle? "I began slipping free willed servants into the batch for you, so you'd suspect something was up at the royal courts. It was also," she stopped and looked up at me uncertainly, "an apology." Meredith stepped up. She put her hands on her hims, and glared at me. "What were you asking about me for?" "You were the first free willed servant sent to my kingdom. You can't blame me for being a little curious if not suspicious," I explained meekly. Meredith's glare didn't waver. "You thought I was a spy," she muttered. Finally, Meredith broke her gaze from me. "What about that Ema woman? She didn't seem like the most trustworthy character," Charlotte piped up, desperate to change the subject. Ana's face scrunched up in confusion. "I never sent a woman named Ema to the Ice Kingdom." "She said she was a part of a resistance group working to bring down the royal courts. That Meredith was working for you," my voice trailed, guilt seeped into my words. How could I trust such a suspicious and new woman. Meredith narrowed her eyes. "That's why you've been acting so strange lately," she said. "You trusted a woman you'd never met before over me?" Now that she put it like that. A very hurt Meredith stared at me through her bold green eyes. My icy ones ripped away from her gaze. "I've just been so caught up in what Ana had to tell me that I hadn't had time to think properly," I whispered. "One thing still does not make sense. Why would the counsel want me?" "Because you're special," an unknown voice offered silkily. A tall man leaned against the grand door frame. Stubble poked out. I glanced at Ana. She was frozen in fear. Here eyes were round orbs on her face. "You were different from the others even as a human, Alise." The name on foreign lips made me uncomfortable. "Who are you," I breathed. A small smile played on his lips. "I am Harris Stone. Head of the royal counsel," Harris took a large step forward, and extended his hand. I studied his fingers carefully before accepting his greeting. They were long, bony, and very pale. "I'm afraid you've broken a few rules, Ana." There was a loud lashing sound, and Ana fell to the ground in shock. I turned quickly. A thin line of blood appeared on her forehead. "Whips," Harris boasted, "Aren't they just the slickest little things." My sisters eyes hardened, suddenly she was the Ana I'd grown to know. "You bastard." Foul words hardly left her mouth. That was the last thing I heard before the second lash struck again. This time, the line of wound was much more severe. Her neck bled heavily. My skirts swayed frantically as I ran forward to hold her up. "What do I do?" I whispered to her in desperation. Icy tears snaked down my cheek. Ana leaned closer to my ear, knowing she didn't have long. Her thin fingers brushed hair away from my ear. "Fight," she whispered so quietly, that I'd barely caught it. Ana slumped into my arms. The ruler of the entire continent was now nothing but the empty shell of a body that used to bring torture and pain to the innocent. The body of my sister, who I'd grown up alongside. Who'd sing to me when it stormed, who'd praise me when no one would. My sister who gave me purpose to be. Ana's soul was finally freed. I tightened my arms around her in one last hug before laying her gently on the floor. Ice turned in my veins. I stood slowly and turned to face my sisters executor. Meredith, Charlotte, and Abban backed away in anticipation of what would happen next. A scream of rage erupted from the depths of me. Ice shot at the man from all parts of the room. Harris hissed in pain as thousands of tiny shards pierced his skin. "I will freeze every little drop of blood in your pathetic little body, and let it slowly rip you to shreds for the next hundred years from the very deepest part of the ocean my powers can lead me to," I screamed to him. There was a lash, and a stinging sensation on my arm. "Abban!" "Yes, Alise?" my beautiful snowy white owl leaned forward. "Take us home. We must prepare," I ordered. I hustled closer to Abban to get caught in the messengers necklace. Harris jumped forward. "No!" he cried, reaching a hand out at us. There was white again. His cries echoed around the inside of the necklace.

........................chapter 15...................... "Alise," I heard a voice call softly. I could not tear my eyes from my sisters body. "Thank you, Abban," I murmered, staring down at her. He knew that as much as I despised her, I could never really hate her. "Alise," the voice called again. I whirled around. "What?" I exclaimed, a few strands of white hair fell across my forehead. Meredith gently placed her hand on my shoulder. "We'll gather everyone for a proper burial." She removed her hand. Abban perched on Charlotte's shoulder. "I'll get the animal guards since only Alise and I can communicate with them," he told me softly. I gave a curt nod and watched him fly away. My eyes landed back on Ana. She was at peace. I could be free. What is freedom if I didn't have a sister left? History repeated itself and my icy tears betrayed me once again. I took Ana's now cold hand in mine. A glitter caught my eye. It was the jewel of the center of her crown. A messengers jewel. My stomach turned in hope, grief, and nerves. The jewel slipped out of it's place easily. It rested in the palm of my hand, the smooth charm brushed against my skin. It's message bottled up inside. I threw it at the wall. The charm bursted into hundreds of sparks. Then, Ana stared at me on the wall. "If you are not Alise Harlow, then something has gone wrong. I know you're Alise, though. You're too smart to not get this message in time," she said softly. I could feel a sob rising up again, choking me with it's miserable pressure. Ana sighed. "I must be dead now. It was inevitable Alise, don't grief for too long. You have work to do." I nodded at the message. Then, feeling a bit self conscious that I was responding to her as if she were still here, I looked around the room to make sure no one saw. Ana chuckled at the message. "Don't feel silly for responding," she muttered. My eyes jerked back to the screen in shock. "You can hear me?" I breathed, standing a little straighter. "Of course I can't hear you. I just know you, Alise. I know how you'd respond," she answered lightly. Her face darkened again. "You were the only woman strong enough in the kingdom to take it down." "Take what down?" I whispered, to myself this time. "A long time ago the ruler of the new royal court was sealed in by his peasants. He was too powerful. The seal prevented him from being able to destroy them and create a new, stronger kingdom. I was married off to royalty to get to you," Ana explained. Her voice cracked. "None of this was your fault, Alise. I trapped you in the ice kingdom to protect you." "We are of same blood. The same mother and the same father, unlike the other siblings who've come from a new father. I was the only one with the power to free you from the seal, so they kept me alive in hopes that one day I would free you. If they've killed me it must mean they've progressed with their magick and are getting stronger." "What does this mean?" I yelled at the message. The story made her reasoning clear, but it didn't tell me what to do. "The trees, Alise," Ana murmered. "What are you doing up here all by yourself? Again? It's nearly dark, Alise," my sister yelled up to me. Ana grasped the lowest branch and hoisted herself up. She grunted in complaint. "Why is it always you that comes for me?" I sighed. She perched on the branch across from me. "Why is it always you that hides up in the trees?" She retorted quickly. My eyes shot back down to my dangling feet. "I just wanted to know...." my voice trailed off. "Maybe what they say is right." Ana's eyebrows furrowed, but her eyes showed clear understanding. "Of course it's not right. Nothing about those ignorant bastards is right!" she exclaimed fiercely. I snorted and covered my mouth quickly. A foul word hardly left my sisters saint mouth. "You might not think you're much of anything because of what those fools tell you, but stop listening to them. They're all idiots. You hold the entire world at the tips of your fingers." A faint smile traced my lips. I lifted my fingers up and twirled them above a branch. An apple slowly grew. "I can influence nature, so what. Many others have magick also," I replied, unimpressed with my own magick. Ana snapped the apple off of the branch and offered it to me. I took a hearty bite out of it, then handed it back to her. "Not your kind of magick! You can create life ," Ana enthused. "Yeah, yeah." We didn't usually bring up the extent of my magick. It wasn't something to boast over in the kingdom. In fact, it was quite dangerous. "You know what you are, Alise Harlow?" She said, looking up at the sky. I shrugged. "What?" Her eyes turned back to me. A grin broke out across her face. "Magnificent!" Ana took a bite of the apple with a loud crunch. "Those who can create life, can cause death," the message whispered to me. Ana smiled at me softly. "I never got to tell you. Alise, you are the best sister and best friend I could have ever asked for. I love you." The message faded away into nothing. The held back sob came up. Ice fell from my cheeks and shattered on the floor. "That's not fair, Ana. I never got to say it back!" I sobbed. Meredith and Charlotte wrapped their arms around me. "She knew," Meredith murmered in my ear. They held me tightly as I grieved Ana. Servants and animals were gathered at the edge of the kingdom. Near the waters. On a thick slate of ice rested Ana Harlow, protector of Alise. Polar bears marched forward and lifted the slate. I walked behind it. As we passed, servants placed their two first fingers over their lips. A sign of peace and respect in all kingdoms across the world. We stopped at the edge of the ocean. Their was silence. I turned to face my people and animals. "Pax super pópulum!" I yelled to them. "Hoc bello! Longevus regina Ana!" I screamed the last sentence and raised my two fingers to my lips. I kissed them and raised them to the sky. Ana would guide us through the ice kingdoms last days. The crowd repeated my motions. The animals slid the slate into the water. We watched it carry her away until Ana Harlow was nothing but a speck in the distance. Pax super pópulum: Peace over the population Hoc bello: This is war Longevus regina Ana: Long live queen Ana

no mind my latin language there new updates don come o @jummybabe @pizzaro @tenniebenson @frankkay

time waits for nobody here is today's update

.....................chapter 16...................... "Do you even have a plan, Alise?" Meredith cried with worry as we hustled down the long hall. I quickly glanced to the side at her. "Well?" Charlotte echoed, sharing an equally as worried expression. I pressed my lips together in thought. Meredith grabbed my arm, forcing me to stop. They stared me down. "O-of course I have a plan," I answered weakly. Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Okay, so I don't have a plan." Meredith groaned. "Plan," she ordered. "Now." I chewed my bottom lip thoughtfully. They were right though. I couldn't send the entire kingdom into a war without a plan. I'd never started a war in my life. I had never even so much as witnessed one. "Okay, here's the plan," I began. Charlotte and Meredith leaned in closer. "Kill the bad guys. Don't die." Charlotte threw her hands up. "Simple enough," Meredith muttered distastefully. I eyed her carefully. "If you can think of a better plan-" "No, no. Your plan is fine," she interrupted quickly. We continued down the hallway and were met with hundreds of servants and animals behind the door. My eyes widened slightly in surprise. Loyal until the end, every last one of them. I surveyed the room silently. A woman who looked no older than nineteen stood near the back. Uncertainty was written in her eyes. "No," I said finally. Charlotte's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. "No?" She repeated. I pointed to the young woman. "How old were you when you were sentenced?" I asked her. The others turned in curiosity and stared at her. "Seventeen," she answered quietly. I sighed in disappointment. How could Ana sentence such a young woman so harshly? "You are to immediately return to your family. You will not be fighting in this," I ordered. She straightened up quickly and opened her mouth to protest. "This is not up for discussion. You will not risk your life when it has barely begun." Her mouth snapped shut. "I wish you the best of luck my queen," She said sincerely before hurrying off to find the messengers. For a second, I worried Ana's guards would snatch her the moment they laid eyes on her being transported and retrial her, but remembered Ana wasn't around to control them anymore so her messengers were aloud to give the all clear. "Before we begin, would anyone like to step out? You have all been cleared of your charges in Ana's death, so you are all free people now," I informed them. A man stepped forward hesitantly. I smiled kindly to him. "Alright, just take the hallway down to my throne room where messengers will be waiting to take y-" "No," the man stuttered quickly. "I just wanted to speak the words that have been on all of our minds. It's safe to say that we're all grateful to you. We were sent here to be tormented, but instead were greeted to a kind queen. A woman made of ice, but with a fire of passion burning in her. You protected us, fed us, entertained us, and did not speak down to us even in our lack of free will. I will return the favor and stand by you until the end, my queen." My mouth opened slightly in surprise. The man bowed to me, then the rest followed. Meredith and Charlotte smiled proudly at me. "What is our first order of war, your highness," Charlotte asked, taking my arm. I took a deep breath and began. "Have you sent for the council, Abban?" I asked the owl. He cocked his head to the side and blinked. "Yes, they will be here very shortly," he answered. I stood in front of the kingdom in front of hundreds of faithful servants. Three tall men appeared in the blink of an eye. It was silent. "This is your army?" The middle man, who I recognized to be Harris, scoffed. I smirked at his arrogance. I flicked my wrists and raised hundreds of needle sharp pieces of ice. Harris raised an eyebrow. I sent them flying towards the men. "Go!" I ordered. My people raced forward, focusing their attack on the councils messenger while I distracted them. Harris and the other two fought off the shards as a man pierced a knife into the messengers throat. Another servant grabbed the messengers necklace. My army backed away as quickly as they'd came forward. I quickly sent another spray of shards at the men while my people retreated. They all took shelter inside. I was alone now. As these men had forced me to be all of these years. "That's all you've got?" The right man snided angrily. Harris's eyes shot down to their now dead messenger. Their only method of escape. A fire built up in my chest. I could feel it tightening every second. A feeling that I had only felt once. Once in my life. The moment I created life. A black cloud boomed over head. I'd never actually used this side of the power before, but I could feel that it was right in my bones. Harris flicked out his whip. He flicked it at me, trying to evade my focus. I squeezed my eyes shut. "I am ice, you idiot. I can not feel whatever punctures my skin," I growled lowly. And I was supposed to be afraid of these people? My eyes snapped open. Harris staggered back in shock. When I'd created the apple tree in my back yard, my eyes became a pure white. My black eyes stared down the men in a trance. I wasn't Alise Harlow anymore. "I am death." The cloud swooped down and engulfed the men. Harris screamed from inside the cloud. "As a wise woman once told me," I shouted to them,"piss off!" I squeezed my hands into fists causing the cloud to squeeze into itself until it became nothing. The tightness in my chest released and I sat on the ground. "You were brilliant, Alise," Meredith said behind me. I turned my head to smile up at her fondly. "What did you do to them?" "They're in a void of nothingness. They'll die in it and live their afterlife there. No life exists in the void so they will be completely alone forever," I told her softly. Meredith held out her hand and helped me up. "I'm sorry that I can't help you and Charlotte anymore." She scrunched her eyebrows together in confusion. "What do you mean?" "When Ana died, the spell was broken. I didn't have much time in the first place, but I've just used a huge amount of magick. I'm melting and so is the kingdom," I whispered. "You and Charlotte will rule this kingdom when it is no longer ice. You will make it a wonderful place for all to live and to be safe." We stepped through the double doors and were greeted by all of my servants. "Queen Meredith and Queen Charlotte," I announced. I gently took off my crown. I could see bits of metal and gems peeking out through the melting ice. I placed it on Meredith's head. "Make one for Charlotte when I am gone," I told her. I hugged my friends and set for the room I would rest in. The crowd parted for me. I made my way through and walked quicker through the hallway. Soon, I stood in front of my best room. A room that would be lost forever when the Ice Kingdom melted. My fingers slid along the worn path of the lock. The door slid open silently. Wasting no time, I lifted a slate of ice to take me down. I looked around at my room. It still remained in tact. The terrifying yet beautiful creatures at the bottom of the sea lingered at the walls. I sat down on the bottom stair. "Show me Alise and Ana Harlow," I ordered weakly. The screen lit up and flipped through time. Two girls sat against the trunk of a tall apple tree. They were giggling about something. "If you could have only seen it," Ana laughs. Alise snorts and takes a bite into her apple. "It was hilarious." "Sounds like it," Alise muses. I leaned back and watched the two girls talking and joking. A hundred years ago, there were two sisters. Two sisters who were fire and ice. They were inseparable until they were separated. Both were full of passion. Both would play an important roll a hundred years later, but in that moment everything was alright because they were still together and nothing bad would happen for another three years. They were the sun even though one would be ice. A hundred years ago, they had a large family that would annoy them, but was still alright. Loving. Warm. They'd all died by now, but a hundred years ago they were there. I looked down at my skin. It was pink again. I lifted my weak hand to my hair to take a look. Blonde. I rested on the bottom of the stairs. My eyes shut. "I love you, Alise," I heard Ana say to Alise behind my closed eyes. "I love you, too," Alise said fondly to her sister. Then I was gone.
