Three chances, three left
Chapter seven
* Corona P.O.V.*
"V-Vaati, what's going on?"
"Nothing, just stay in here, and do not leave the room unless absolutely nescisssary!"
"O-okay..."
His cloak fluttering behind him, Vaati left the room, and I heard the familar click! of a lock turning. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on, and why he had to lie about it. And he didn't need to lock the door, I would've stayed in the room, unless...
Was he trying to keep someone from coming in to get me? Who would even do that if this palace was in the air?
"Hey, is lilac boy gone?"
"Y-yes."
"Good, because we're breaking out. We've spent a few days here and believe me I'm sick of it. And get your old outfit, that one looks like filth on you!"
"But...The doors locked..."
"Pick the lock moron! And during this, I'm not coming out. We are not getting caught because of that damn chain!"
"O-okay..."
I found my old white dress, chainmail, boots, and my bag and shoved them in there. I also found my pocket knife and ripped at the skirt on the dress I was currently wearing, for I had a feeling I would be doing some running. Part of me didn't want to leave, but something told me that I had to get out of there quickly. Of course, if I didn't listen to the latter, Dread's fist would be my reward.
I put the scrap's of my current dress in the bag, found a hair pin in the jewerly box, and began picking the lock.
"You're keeping the things you're wearing?"
"U-unlike you, I-I can't always wear the exact same thing all t-t-the time."
Hearing the satisfying click of the door unlocking, I silently opened it, and looked around to see if any moblins that Vaati had lurking around. Happily having none in sight, I crept out of the room and through the halls, trying to find someway to safely get down to the ground and out of the palace, other than falling to my death.
Sneaking around the place wasn't easy, each time I heard foot steps I had to hide, and the heels I happened to be wearing were not meant for an escape attempt unlike my old boots. But I didn't plan on staying still long enough to put them on.
"Pssst, how long are we wandering around for weakling? Weakling? Answer me."
I ignored him and continued walking, until we ended up in the courtyard, where I finally saw what I was looking for.
A pedestal for a portal. Just perfect. Just what I needed, and the symobls told me that it was ticket back down to solid ground.
I walked over, and the portal activated once I got close enough. Smiling to myself, I walked on through, letting it transport me to where ever it would take me.
When I opened my eyes, I was standing in a dense forest, no sign of a single person anywhere. Good, I didn't want to deal with one at this point.
"Woman, answer me right this instant! Have you finally lost your hearing?! Well, at least I don't have to hear your whining and your habit of being so weak to never fight your way out!"
Would he just shut up...
"Hellooo?! Damn, you're patheic. Ignoring me won't make me stop, and you know it! Or were you stupid enough to forget?!"
I hate it...
"That's it, you must be brain dead now. Or were you already before all of this?"
"Dread..."
"Finally! Holy hell, what is with you whiny?! A weakling, whiny, and now I'm adding brain dead to the list!"
"Get in your human form..."
"Huh?"
"NOW!"
A puff of smoke appeared in front of me, with a confused Dread soon in its place.
"What's the matter with you?! Now you're yelling at me brain dead?!"
Something inside me snapped. Years of anger and hatred finally being released all in one punch.
Soon Dread was on the ground, and his hood was off, showing his cross between feminine and masculine face, golden eyes, long red hair tied in a ponytail...As well as his mouth, which had jagged black fangs for teeth.
"What was that for...What's wrong with you..."
"I'm tired of it... All of it. It's my turn to be the one in control now. So if you don't stop, I'll find a way to kill you, get this chain off, and melt down this braclet so you won't ever come back to torment me again. Now...Get up. We're leaving."
He looked at me in shock, and a small bit of fear. I'd had it, I'd officially had it. No more insults, no more beatings, no more torments. Now he would see the beast he'd help bring forth for all of those years. The one who wanted to get out but was trapped behind a glass heart. Well now that glass was replaced with stone and set it free.
"I said GET. UP."
Dread quickly got up, and followed me as we began walking. Now I was in control. He'd have to live in fear of me this time, instead of the other way around.
'Who knew that this would feel so good...Who knew...'
I wasn't weak.
I was strong.
I wasn't stupid.
I was just scared.
I wasn't whiny.
I was just sad.
Now it's my turn.
She has changed for the worst
No more sweet little flower
Only a uncontroled storm
Filled with rage towards the one she will never be able to shake
