Chapter 36: A Warning!

Daisy

I don't know what to feel right now, to be honest. I mean, who would be? I just saw myself with my sisters, and the worse part of it? I was the one who killed them! I was the one who killed my family and everyone whom I know of.

"No... S-Stop." My voice is shaking from what I was seeing right now. "D-Don't do it, stop! Please." I said and covered my ears as I look away.

Fuck this shit! I wasn't the one who killed them! I wasn't the one who killed them! It was not me! I didn't kill them! But why was I seeing things this way?! Is it because I didn't help them?! Is it becaise I did nothing?!

"This is who you really are." I heard a voice said and when I looked at it while having a shocked expression. I saw myself. Well, literally myself, cause the face was really me. The only difference was the aura and the facade. She has this red colored iris, while the cornea was colored black. She is also levitating and her hands have this, unknown kind of source in her! "Daisy, you're the princess of Dusk Empire, but what are you doing at Dawn?" She asked me while having that evil smile. I'm kinda creeped out, but it doesn't matter. I just think i'm getting used to it already. Starting with the dead bodies and now this.

"What are you even talking about?! I even have a grudge on Dusk Empire, and now your telling me that I am the princess?! You're just making up stories for me to leave the empire and for you to easily kill me, am I right?" I said bravely as I look at her with fear. She then laughed at this.

"Nah~ King Del chose you as her princess, so you need to go to Dusk Empire and fulfill that contract."

"Well jokes on him, I didn't signed up for that, so please tell him that I don't want to go and that he can just rot and die in hell." I said madly as I remember someone when I talked to him and heard him say the name.

So he is the king of Dusk Empire? Meaning... That person who talked to me before I went here was a part of them?! The one who killed my family was a member of Dusk?!

Because of what my mind told me. I can't help myself but to feel something inside me about to burst, again. It was the same feeling that I felt before everything went swoosh! Then everyone was on the ground, unconscious.

My breath went uneven, and I gripped my chest to support my breathing, and also to ease my uneasy feeling. But it's not enough. I didn't even know what to do right now.

"Feel the power yet? Don't stop yourself and just let it all out." The other me said, trying to let me burst, but no. She can't make me have it, what if I won't make it and will be like her?! I can't let that happen. "Let the power flow through you!" She said.

"Will you please stop?!" I shouted and directed my palm in front of her. She then flew away from me and hit herself at the same spot where I lost my consciousness before everyone was killed. "(gasp!) No!" I shouted and ran to her aid. "No! No! No! Please be with me, don't die, don't die! No! Please, I don't want to kill someone." I said and cried but she just laughed at this. Making me sit in fear.

"Just look at your innocent face." She said while laughing out loud. "So cute." Then she stopped laughing and looked at me seriously. "But if you don't follow me to Dusk Empire, I might kill you right here." She said, making me decide.

"Then kill me now. Just please, don't make me suffer anymore." I said and tears started to fall from my eyes. "My life is now wasted anyway, with everyone dead, who else would I live for?" I asked and looked intently at her.

"Tch! How about Granger? Is he just someone you know?" She asked, making me surprised.

"Of course not! He is my friend, and also my family." I said as I realized something.

I still have a reason to live!

I looked at her with regret, and she just looked at me with a happy smile. She also glowed, making me cover my eyes. It lasted for about a minute, before the light was out, and when I looked at her, she was gone, and in her place was a bird like thing that still glowed powerful red orange. It was a phoenix. "You passed the trial." It spoked as soon as it turned into a human form of a girl whose face can't be seen.

All I could do was to leave my mouth hung open as I look at her coming closer to me. "Daisy... You are the chosen one, and you have the power to do what you want. But please know your limitations.

Your power might also weild something that you won't like. It has the power of light and darkness, so please learn how to control them. Because if you don't, chaos might end up in the empire." She warned me, and although I couldn't understand what she was really saying, I just answered.

"I will do anything that I can." And before I could even know it, the world around me started to change. I was again, back at the portal that I entered earlier, and I was again, back at the door where I was standing. "What?! I can't be back here! I didn't even understand what she meant!" As I said those words, I opened the door of the portal, just to be disappointed when I saw a rock inside. A solid, flat rock just to mislead maybe those who try to enter the house without permission.

I just exhaled haggardly as I try many more times to see if the portal was now really gone, but I guess it was. So I let it be and closed the door, then went out of the main door. I was also thinking about what the phoenix said, but was stopped when I saw Granger walked out of the room he went in, full of bruises and stuff.

"Granger?! What happened?" I asked worriedly as I rush towards his aid. "Please tell me what happened." I asked, but he just looked at me with a confused look.

"Are you really the princess of Dusk Empire?" He asked, making me look at him with shock. I can't even answer him, because I was too surprised by his sudden question.
