Chapter 6
The funeral
Daring's POV
"Apple? We have to go soon." I asked.
"You lied to me, Daring!" She yelled at me.
"I didn't lie to you! You could not retain the information. Your mind wouldn't let you." I shouted.
"Is that Mom was trying to tell me? When you went to visit her without me that year Allie got sick." She whispered.
"And Dex, Raven, and I! We all told you. You locked yourself out the loop." I hissed. She started tearing up. I sighed, sitting down, trying not drink before the funeral.
"Is that why the last thing I remember is talking to you before I blacked out?" She asked me.
"Yes. Please just drop it for now? I can't handle this right before our- the funeral. I need air." I got up, walking out.
"Ok." I heard before the door closed.
I couldn't stay in one place for very long. They all were haunted. I felt like I was choking. Where? Where can I go?
"Your Majesty? It's time to go." A servant told me.
"Oh, yeah. Thanks." I followed him out to the car.
The ride was quiet. Almost too much. The service was decent. We had lunch after it. Then we had to bury her. It was the worst thing I had ever I had to do. Watching the coffin slowly get covered. It started to blur and I felt tears on my cheek. I wiped at them, but they wouldn't go away.
"Daring? You can stop. Please stop." Apple worried.
"We can finish up." Dex reassured me.
"Alright." I went to a bench and tried not to think. Someone sat next to me and rubbed my back.
"Hey. It's going be ok." It was Darling.
"I know." I croaked.
"Let it out." She hugged me. It was too much. My little girl was gone.
"Allie's gone." I whispered, feeling the tears come back.
"I know." My little sister said.
"She's gone." I repeated. I bawled. I yelled. I got so tired.
"How is he?" Apple sniffed.
"Tired. He needs to rest." She told her.
"Come on, Daring. Let's go home." Apple took me back to the car. And we went back to the haunted castle.
