Hi! I just finished a big project for school and I'm planning to write more stories about the Lunar Chronicles and other things. I will give you a little info. My next story is a crossover between two books I mention in my profile.

Chapter 9

APRIL POV

She didn't know what to do.

How was she going to prove to a princess that a wanted criminal who kidnapped her brother, is the lost princess Selene?

When she left the palace, she went home and straight to sleep. Now it was morning and she was realizing that there was no way to do this. The only proof that she had was in her brain. But that was only proof for her.

Then she remembered when she was 6 and told Carswell, who was 7, about her power. He didn't believe her and thought it was her "little kid imagination." She had wanted to prove it to him so much. So that night she tried to have a vision. She had never tried before, but to her surprise, it worked. She tried to find the lost princess, that was all she knew about Luna, but she couldn't focus. She only held on to it for about 30 seconds.

Then the next day she tried it again, back when she was with Thorne, but this time she focused on him and the princess. She was smart for a little kid. After she focused he fell to the ground and acted asleep, even though his eyes were open.

She got scared and went to run to her parents, but Thorne got up when she turned around. Then he started talking about a toddler in flames, which is what she saw the other night. He was really creeped out, given the fact that he was only 7 years old. I got used to seeing all the horrors Lunars did, I had the gift since she was born. I think I told my parents, but, like Thorne, they thought it was my imagination. But Thorne was my older brother and I looked up to him, so I had to tell him somehow.

That was how she was going to tell the princess, but what about the world? Maybe somehow she could hook up her brain to something to show her thoughts. She was studying neuroengineering, so that would help. But first she needed to tell the princess.

She arrived at the palace and a girl lead her into the room with the princess. Yín must've told the girl to let her in. As she walked in, she observed Yín. She was pretty, she had big rainbow eyes that seemed to glow. She was very pale, it almost looked like she was covered in flour, and she was much shorter than me, only about a few inches over 5 feet. She had long, spiky black hair and was wearing a gray dress that went a few inches above her knees.

"Oh hi! You know, I don't know your name." Yín said cheerfully. She was in a good mood.

"It's April." I responded.

"April such a nice name. Although in spring I do get allergies ."

"Are you okay?" I asked, she seemed different.

"No." She responded still cheerful. "I was sad, so I think they put something in my drink."

"I get it, the war and your brother." April wondered what it was like to be her. She needed to tell her about Cinder though, no, she needed to show her. But first she needed to talk, but she didn't know what to say. "Do you believe in magic?" I asked. It was a silly question, but she wanted to see because of her visions. Even though it was all science, that was why she was learning this information in college.

Yín looked at April and said "No, but I believe that some things can almost be magic, like Lunar glamour."

April nodded. "Good then." Then April focused on the old doctor that was doing research on Cinder. That was a vision she had last night when she couldn't go to sleep.

She was glad Yín was in a chair. She did the same thing as Thorne, but this time April had the vision too. It was probably because she stopped focusing on the vision when she was little, she was too worried about Thorne.

She kept focusing. A port was in her wrinkled hands. She must've been the old man. In the port it was a bunch of DNA stuff. Then she, no he, typed something in and something popped up saying "Cyborg 03336 match found for 'lost princess'"

Then she stopped focusing. Yín was very freaked out when she woke and asked, "What just happened?"

"I asked you if you believed in magic." I replied, getting up and stretching. "Do you believe me about Cinder now?" I asked when I stopped stretching.

She nodded and said, "I don't believe that I believe it, but yes I do believe, I guess. I know that sounds weird, and repetitive."

"It's fine." I shrugged.

"Did you make that vision? Are you Lunar?" Suddenly her eyes went wide.

"I did make that vision, but I'm not Lunar. If you want I can prove it to you." I replied.

"How'd you do that vision?" She seemed like she believed me about the Lunar stuff. They would've found out on the plane.

"I had it since I was born, I can see anything Lunars have or are doing. It's scary."

"It must be. But like I said I believe you, but how are we going to prove to the world that this is true?" She seemed a lot less scared now.

"I study neuroengineering, I could somehow hook up my brain and make a video. I would just do what I did to you, to everyone, but I would probably die from energy loss." She remembered about a year ago, when she was studying what she could do with the power. It was very hard, but she found answers to almost all her questions.

"Use the stuff from the lab. They have a bunch of brain equipment down their, the doctors can probably help too. Let me walk you down. I can even show the world later! On the news." She got up and walked out the door.

I followed her and looked at everyone in the halls. As soon as they saw Yín they stopped, bowed, or ran away. I had to ask. "Why is everyone doing that?"

Yín said, sounding bored, "I am the temporary empress and I don't think they think my brother will come back sane or alive. But I don't know why they are running away." She looked at me. "Are you a criminal? We're in the an area where everyone knows everything."

I looked at the ground, I had to tell her. She was really nice. It never bothered me before when I was talking to her. "My brother is Carswell Throne. You still believe me though."

"That explains it, I believe you still, though. I mean even if you were close, you're not the criminal and the vision proves a lot. Unless your lying and helping them." She raised an eyebrow.

I gasped. "Stars no! I didn't." I yelled.

Yín laughed, "I was kidding! Here's the lab." We walked into an area of the palace that had quarantine rooms and white everywhere.

We walked up to a girl. She bowed before Yín and Yín said. "We have something very important that can win the war and get rid of our Cinder problem and help Luna's Levana problem."

The girl didn't seem to believe Yín. But she still said, "What?" But she didn't sound annoyed. That was good. She sounded interested.

"Cinder is Princess Selene and we have proof."

Now the girl sounded annoyed, "Is this girl saying that?" The girl eyed at me.

Then Yín looked at me and said, "Do it to her." The girl looked scared.

I guess I had to, I gestured for the girl to sit at a waiting room chair about a foot away from them. Yín nodded at the girl and we both sat down. Then I focused on that moment with the old man and I focused on the girl.

The same vision happened and then I stopped it. The girl looked amazed. She just responded by saying, "That's what the message meant."

Then Yín said, "So, can you help us?"

The girl nodded and Yín said, "She is studying neero-something and can somehow hook up her brain so the world could see." Then April heard a ding and the girl took out a port screen from her pocket and looked at it.

"You can use room 7 on this floor, it will have all the things you need, but I have to go. If you need help only ask me. The others will think you're Lunar and crazy." Then she left.

"Why doesn't she think I'm Lunar?" I asked Yín.

"She helped the doctor most, she knows facts to support that Cinder is Selene. But, on another note, when do you think I should tell the world about this?" Yín asked.

"I think now, it is too important not to. Even though we don't have proof." April said, almost like an android. All she could think about was getting rid of Levana. She still remembered the bodies in the street.

"Okay!" Yín shouted cheerfully and then ran away. She didn't seem as worried about Levana. If I was her I'd freak out. Well, she was drinking what the palace gave her.

I thought all this as I walked to room seven and looked at all of the equipment. I knew what everything was, and even though it would take awhile, I knew I could get this done.
