Rowan: Shattered Hearts

Rowan's POV
"What?!" I shout at Dan, this guy is really getting on my nerves
"Wait, just hear me out" Dan said grasping at straws
"I thought we could trust you?!" I shout at him, ignoring every word he says
"Rowan!" Amy shouts at me and then hits me over the head with a book she took out of her bag
"Let's hear his side of the story first" Piper says calmly
"Thank you" Dan says with a sigh of relief
"You see, when I arrived here I was the only one... I didn't know what was going on so I did what you guyswere just about to do. When I was brought to the castle I was pampered and enjoyed everything their. However, this didn't last for long. A week after my arrival, I was given the choice to become like them, a puppet or be put to death." I say grimly
"Wait, it sounds like you didn't know they were puppets at that time, why did you choose to die?" Piper asks clearly confused
"I didn't, at first I agreed to become a puppet, unknowingly that they were puppets of course. But then the queen started moving her hands and strings came down from the ceiling trying to tie themselves to my arms and legs." I continue, "just before the strings were about to tie themselves to me, an invisible, something cut the threads. When all the strings were cut it emerged as an emerald, it came towards me, linking itself as an emerald amulet. I ran off just as the guards were coming after me." Dan finishs and tugs on his neck and revel a glittering, green emerald amulet that when te light caught it reveled a chameleon symbol.
"This is all very weird" Christiana says and looks deep in thought, well as deep in thought as I have ever seen her anyway.
"Well we can deal with odd necklace later" Piper says and Amy opens her mouth to speak but Dan beats her to it.
"Technically it's an amulet" Dan states and smirks at Amy who is giving him a dirty look.
"Ugh, what I was going to say was that we should figure out why we were all brought here, maybe that will leave us some clue as to why almost everyone here is a pupp- I mean marionette." Piper continues with a sigh. This snaps Amy out of her death glare.
"Oh well I guess I will go first." Amy starts, "Well I like cute things such as pigys and stuffed animals but I like to look up to snakes, they are so strong and elegant. I also like acting, playing piano, taking pictures, writing poetry, and working with clay. I also happen to know a vast amount of trivia." Amy says with a smile. "Speaking of which, GIVE ME BACK MY CAMERA" Amy says with a huff which only earned a smirk from Dan
"Why should I?" Dan says smirking
"Because it's private property dum dum." Amy says with a pout, this surprisingly caused an attitude change in Dan(wow, does everyone have multiply personality disorder?!)
"Oh my god! You look so Kawaii!" Dan says and impulsively hugs Amy, causing the rest of us to sweat-drop and Amy to smirk
"Gotcha" Amy stated and pulled her camera away from Dan's grasp
"No Fair!" Dan shoots back
"Ummmm..... I hate to interrupt but we are in the middle of a sort-of crisis right now" Piper says bringing us all back to reality
"Oh yeah, sorry Piper, hey why don't you go next" Amy says with a smile
"Um, ok, I am rather fond of cats and foxes, I like how smart, strong, and clever they are. I wish I could be more like that..." Piper says trailing off.
"What do you mean?" Christiana asks curiously
"Well....I always feel that I am the one left out, the one that just tags along so that I'm not alone. I think that if I were a better person then people would like me better, just I am never enough...." Piper trails off which leaves everyone silent.
"Well I guess I feel the same way sometimes too..." I say, everyone look surprised, I guess they really didn't expect that, "I have a few friends, if you can call them that. I am pretty sure they are just friends with me so they have their own, personal fashion assistant. I don't even know what it feels like to have real friends..." I say trying to put on a brave face.
"I guess I could say the same," Christina says, even she looks serious, and she's well her. "I honestly don't have any friends, at all. No one likes to talk to me and when they do it's usually to say something mean," Christiana finishes
"In a way I guess I deal with the same thing." Amy starts, "I don't get picked on, anymore anyway. My thoughts and ideas were always a good laugh, I have had several people who I have had crushes on in the past. All of them shattered my heart, and once I have picked up all the pieces, it is stolen yet again just to be shattered...." Amy says
"Well I guess we all came here because our heart had been hurt in some way." Dan says after a well needed silence
"What about you Dan? Why are you here?" Christina asks
"Christina, I honestly don't want to talk about it" Dan responds. Wow, this guy really gets on my nerves! We all just spilled out our hearts to one another, the least he could do the same! ARHGGGGGG!!!!!! 😤😠😡
