It Was Born From Fear

[[Chapter 1

Cold. The air felt like needles on the lungs when you breathed in, and skin froze and became rigid in the winter weather in Wondertropolis. Boadicea had grown accustomed to the natural torture of mother earth against her body. Her once smooth chocolate skin was rough and dry, cracks on her knuckles, elbows, and feet. Goosebumps roughly pinpricked her entire being, and she shivered slightly beneath her grudgy wool blanket. The greasy fabric was bearly enough to cover her from her head to the tips of her feet, and she curled up in the fetal position to save body heat.

Her eyes were closed as she thought to herself, trying to imagine the way things were before Redd's take-over, but she had no idea what tartytarts or crystal castles looked like. No matter how much her mother had tried to explain it to her. Her brow furowed in internal pain as she thought of her mother. She was killed only a few months ago, on Boadicea's ninth birthday, but Redd's army, accusing her of being in relation to the Alyssians that were long hidden somewhere in Wonderland. Boadicea had run away from her home as it was burnt to the ground, and had lived as an orphan on the streets since. No one offered her help as they walk by, as the homeless wasn't an uncommon thing anymore. Anger swelled again in Boadicea's chest, at it did many times a day, everyday. She would get revenge.

There was screaming again in the distance. Epona smiled and turned away from the window. Her eyes began to travel around the large room again inside the….Her, palace. Her smile lit up a little more knowing that the entire castle now belonged to her and her sisters. Just them. Just then Boadicea walked into the room, a small fat woman following her. "I found the little lady you were talking about. The best in Wonderland supposedly…" The tiny woman's eyes were wet with fear and she glanced around nervously. Epona stepped forward, flipping her light pink hair behind her in showflashing, it trailed almost to the ground, even with it up in pigtails. "Mrs…Rearoud was it? Yes well, I have a job for you…a large job."

"Yes, yes, Baronet..I mean, Furstin Love. W-Whatever you and the Furstin Violence and the Furstin Fear wish…"

Epona's eyes narrowed slightly at the old woman. "Nevermind, I can do it with my imagination." With her eyes still glaring at the old woman's face, the room began to transform around the three of them. Everything turned solid black and white, all furniture bleached of any shade of gray that it was before. The old woman's mouth dropped at the sight of the new room, but before she could compliment Furstin Love on her brilliant imagination, Boadicea punched through her back and ripped her heart out. The woman fell to the ground dead, eyes still open in shock. Boadicea examined the heart as it shivered into cardiac arrest, thick dark blood and viens hung from it. "Looks like the color of roses when oxygen doesn't touch it eh?" Boadicea pondered out loud. Epona didn't listen though, she turned back around to face the window as the old corpse on the ground began to fade away and dissapear. Boadicea sighed, "You know, it's no fun when you waste your imagination by doing everyone else's job." She stepped up to the window next to Epona, and they made their way to the balcony together. "How's Fiolex managing?" Epona asked.

"She said she found an interesting and willing group, and she's coming back to the castle with them right now." Epona nodded and accepted this fact. She trusted anything Fiolex thought was interesting. The two Furstin stood together on the balcony and watched the battle scene below them. Bombs rocketed, imagined monsters slaughtered civilians like cattle. Boadicea flexed slightly. Epona's magenta iris's gave a side glance and met Boadicea's gold eyes. She knew Boadicea wanted to be in the fight, she did too, but she also knew that the takeover over Wonderland was more important than a little adrenaline rush. Boadicea broke her gaze and stared at the floor, as if she understood what Epona was thinking, which she did.

"Are all the rooms redone?" Boadicea changed the subject.

"Yes"

"Can I do the outside?"

"Knock yourself out."

With that, Boadicea ran out of the room, her socked feet were just silenced thuds through the room and out the door. Then it was quiet.

"Ten years…" Epona mumbled to herself. "Ten years it took to make it this far. Let's hope it won't take ten more to take out that douche bag King and his Borderland." Epona sighed and watched the battle continue below as if she was at a theatre watching a boring flick she had seen five times already. Only a few years after Queen Alyss took back the throne did she and her two sisters overthrow her again. This time she made sure she was dead, along with every other breathing thing that considered her a friend.
