I tell you, the prisons there are a lot more protective than on Earth. Everywhere you look there are guards, and there's a twenty-foot gate surrounding the place. I think it's charged up with electricity, too.
I was dressed in a weird Elementorian outfit. The pants were extremely long, and the top was really frilly.
"Requesting permission to see Queen Fira." Emberas said broadly.
"No one is allowed to see the traitors!" A guard snapped.
"Do you know who you're dealing with? I demand entry now!"
"And who might you be?" He asked. "We don't let people in to see those in solitary confinement."
"I am Queen Black Dove! Now, let me through or so help me I will lock your ass up in solitary confinement!"
Yeah, we got through.
As we walked down the hallway
prisoners howled and yelped at me like wolves.
"Hey, can I
threaten them?" I asked.
"Of course. You're the ruler."
"And exactly what is the limit to threatening?"
"You can sentence anyone to anything. Including death."
"Hey! Shuddap or I'll cut your sentence short so you can start you're new one in heaven! Or hell!"
"What's a heaven?" One asked once the howling stopped.
I ignored them. What idiots. Learn about the history of other planets, morons!
We reached the solitary confinement rooms. Each door had a number painted in red on the front, and there was a little window that could only be opened from the outside.
"Our worst cases come here to rot in jail instead of a normal cell."
As we approached room 666, A guard stopped us.
"Let me get her."
Hrm...room 666...I wonder if that's just a coincidence.
He banged extremely hard on the door and yelled her name. He then opened the window.
"Shit! Calm down, I'm not deaf! What is it now?"
"A visitor."
We were left alone, except for a security camera aimed right at us.
She walked up to the small window. Her room was so dark.
All I could see were her eyes. Her flaming red eyes.
"Who are you, kid?"
"I'm...I'm...uh...Queen Dove...yeah...hi, mom."
"What? They brought you back? After what happened?"
"I guess. They needed a leader. I...I mean, I was excited to meet you, but I see I shouldn't have expected so much of you."
"Why is that?"
"It doesn't matter what planet you're on, mom. A murder is still a murder."
"Hey, you're father was weak. Weak, I tell you. I was always a part of The Pyro Unitos. Even before I married him."
"What's that?"
"God, you are new here. There are some people of each standard that think they are better than all the rest. Like racism on Earth."
"How do you all know so much about Earth? And other planets?" I asked.
"We're a very smart race, dear. We needed to know everything about the place when we sent you there. So again, tell me, how were your 'parents' down there?"
"Well, my Mom and Step-dad died, and my brother."
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. You know, I wasn't the one who ordered their deaths, just know that."
"What?" I said with disbelief.
"Well, yes. Once they found out you weren't their child, and that you were from space, we couldn't risk being discovered. You're brother, on the other hand, was completely natural."
"Who killed my parents? Who!"
"You're father. After all, I was just the Queen. The runner up."
"I don't believe you."
"Fine. Don't. After all, I did murder him. He was weak and cowardly. Scared of his own shadow. It was hard, you know, I did love him at one point. But the Pyros needed me to get rid of the most powerful Aquo of them all."
"It can't be...I was happy. I loved my life."
"Elementorians, psh, never cared about anyone except themselves. It's our way of life, really. They needed a leader, and boom! You were what they wanted. It didn't matter."
"Why are you telling me all this?" I asked.
"Hey, you're my little girl. Stop by again sometime, will you? I enjoy the company."
As I walked away from the door, anger and hatred and confusion swept over me.
She killed my dad.
My dad killed my parents.
My parents knew about it all.They knew about it all.
