Amelia
Ramona's words stook to me better than I'll ever admit. After the whole ghost thing was resolved, it took three days to find the students. I didn't help. Especially since in that time frame, he was coming back. Carlos Izmin. Former general to the Wish Realm's Mary Margaret and David. He was coming back. For me. For my mother. Wish Henry was still pissed at her.
Still furious with me. Still paranoid. A knock sounded on my door taking me out of my little memory lane. I looked over to see Chase with two mugs in his hands.
"I brought tea." He said. "What did you see because of the ghost?"
"My sister." I stated.
"But she's dead!" Chase exclaimed.
"I know!" I shouted. "She was there! She was the ghost that was trying to get my attention! She did all of this to get my attention. And for what? To warn me of a future that may or may not come?"
To warn me that my past was catching up to me faster than I wanted it to. Mom in the spam of hours not only lost one of her daughters, but also her love. I felt helpless in this situation. Like I could be doing more, but something inside didn't want me to be that. It didn't want me to be more, because I was just enough.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure Bree, Adam, Leo, Mr Davenport, and Douglas would help you. I would help you." Chase assured me.
"Thanks, but I think my future is something I have to face on my own." I declined.
Someone knocked on the door and Bree appeared. "Amy, your visitor is here."
"Thanks, Breezie. I'll be right there." I said leaving, but Bree and Chase stayed behind for I don't know what.
There stood Carlos Izmin waiting at a table. Still on a mission to kill me I... sorta see.
"Hey, Carlos." I said, awkwardly, waving at the brunette boy.
He turned to me. "Hi, Amelia."
"Don't call me that! I go by Amy and Lia now! You know that!" I snapped at him.
"Well, sit, sit. I have a proposition for you." He told me.
I sat down in the chair across ftom him. "What do you need? Is your Henry still after me and my head?"
"On the contrary, he has found other things to be concerned about. Other than hunting down the two people who killed his grandparents." Carlos said sarcastically.
"Two hearts, two people. We thought it would be poetic to use the both of us to crush their hearts to get Emma to listen." I explained. "It's as simple as that."
"It's not as simple as you think, little A Melia Mills. Anyway, we think that you've gotten soft. You wanted nothing more than to be the next Evil Queen and you thought you might when your mother got soft. But now, I think this world has made you soft. Made you think that only the good get what they rightfully deserve. Your mother has trapped you in this sixteen year old female body for thirty years. Wouldn't you want to do actual things?" Carlos asked.
"What does all of this have to do with me anyway? I believe I have changed for the better." I asked.
"That's this island talking! That's your step-family talking! That's your brother talking! You don't really think this," he gestured to all of me, "version of you is actually good. Sure you fight monsters, help the heroes save people, but you could be the one that makes the heroes save people."
"I can't do that to them!"
"Well, Henry'd turning into a twisted bastard, and I need someone to knock him down a few pegs! Be the Evil Queen. Be the one who rules her own kingdom. There is no Snow White to get in your way." Carlos said.
I knew what he was doing. He was using me to get the throne he wanted. He was just acting straight through me. But I liked the part about being my own Evil Queen. I liked the part of ruling my kingdom. I was always mom's choice to take the kingdom.
"I can't." I declined.
"You like one of the heroes, don't you?" He stared at me.
"Chase, no!" I said a little too quickly. Why did I just say that?
"You do. I can see it in your eyes. You don't want it coming true. Your future is coming and I know people who can help you avoid it." Carlos said. "Join us, and we will help you stop that future. All you have to do is become a Queen."
I wasn't paying attention to what he said next. I was too focused on what he said about my feelings for Chase. I thought I didn't have any feelings for him! I guess I was wrong. I guess I would need to think about it. Plus, his deal. There must be some sort of trap behind it. All deals had a trap in it.
"Amelia, they can't help you with what you're afraid of! We can! They have no idea who they're dealing with. We do!" Carlos said.
He kept saying we. What did "we" mean exactly? Something was going on.
"Who is we?"
"The Wish Coven. We want Henry off the throne and the closest thing to the rightful heir."
"I'm not the rightful heir. I'm not. I can't be. I'm just a monster looking for a place to belong in this world." I explained.
"Amelia, Henry is the monster in this situation. We need a monster that is more humane than monstrous." explained Carlos.
Me... the queen of the Wish Realm? I knew I could never become queen of my own realm, and here. I didn't run the place. It was the three mentors that did. They were popular here, because they were the first Bionics. But I was a witch. And witchcraft has always been looked down upon.
"Can I have time to think about it?" I asked him.
Carlos smiled at me. "You'll have as long as you need."
And with that he left. He left me to my thoughts. He left me to figure out what I wanted. He left me so I would know the truth.
"Who was that guy?" Chase asked (and I had forgotten him and his siblings stood close by to watch).
I hoped he didn't hear the part where I practically indirectly said I liked him. I really hope that he didn't hear that.
"He's a creep." commented Leo.
"He's an old friend." I replied.
An old friend that wants me to go back to my roots. Back to being the Evil Queen's vengeful daughter. Back to being the granddaughter that almost killed her grandmother for killing her father. Carlos Izmin was dangerous. Dangerous for thinking I would go back. More dangerous than I could ever imagine it to be. But my darkness is a lot greater than I could ever know.
"I have to go. To my room. I have to think some things over." I said excusing myself to my room.
Okay. Let's think his proposal over, Amelia. Let's look at the Pros and Cons of it.
Pro: I would still be with my friends and family.
Con: I would lose Mary Margaret and David.
Pro: I could get help with my magic.
Con: It would be mostly dark magic.
Pro: I could embrace my darkness.
Con: I would lose my friends.
My friends can't help me. My mother can't help me. My darkness is powerful. It made me kill my sister. But that was the demon Malphas in me. But the demon lingered inside me. It left some darkness in me. Which can never be there again. This world was better off without me. It was better because I was destined to become a villain.
And I would lose my friends and family in the process. I would lose... Chase. And that was something I couldn't do. So, it was better that I left. It was better that I went away. For how long? A short amount of time? A while? Weeks? Months? Years? No. Forever. I would be leaving this world. So this world could be better. Because it was better without me.
"Hey, Amel-. Why are you packing?" Bree's voice reached my ears.
I turned towards her just noticing her presence tearing my attention from my suitcase to my brunette friend.
"I'm leaving." I told her.
"For how long?"
"I don't know." I did know.
"Why are you leaving?"
"I'm going on a quest to find out if I still have remaining darkness in me." Actually, I'm leaving to be queen.
"But you can't go!"
"And why not? Things would get better if I wasn't here. It always ends up that way."
"Because we're your friends, and we want to keep you here for as long as we can. Plus, Chase likes you."
"Really? He does?" I perked up before noticing the change in my tone. "I mean, he does? I don't care about him." I wouldn't let feelings stop me from doing what's right.
"You really are leaving?" asked Bree.
"Yes."
"I'll let everyone to know you're leaving."
And with that, Bree left me. I was done packing my things an hour later and I took my things to the bridge. Where Adam, Leo, Bree, and Chase were at. Douglas and Mr Davenport were nowhere to be found. I guess that they didn't want to say goodbye to me.
"Well, goodbye." I said.
"We'll see you when you return." Leo replied.
I'm sorry, Leo, but I'm never coming back.
The hydro-loop arrived to show Carlos. And with that, I took my things and left. To the Wish Realm. To a world leaving them behind.
Okay, so this is the unofficial ending. Why Unofficial Cat? Because I don't know if I will ever come back to this. This chapter was written because I was lost on ideas, but it also leads a door open, so I could continue this.
