PA- Here's chapter six!
Rue- I better not die.
PA- It'll add tragedy to the story though!
Ahiru- You're starting to sound like Drosselmeyer…
PA- Whatever, well, to get to the story! This Rue getting hurt thing is really warming the story up!
Rue- I hate this…
I bolted up and looked around the room. It wasn't mine. This room had crimson red wall, my wall was blue mixed with white to look like clouds. This room had a regular light, while mine had a small chandelier. Dark blue curtains hung over the windows, and my curtains were white lace. Plus, my bed wasn't as big. My bed was softer though. My sheets were made of silk while these were regular fabric.
This was Fakir's room. Looking at myself, I was in a regular nightdress. Hopefully Uzura was the one who dressed me. Then I remembered the incidents that happened. Rue being hurt, Mytho's heart being shattered, and me fainting in Fakir's arms. It was dark outside, which signaled it was dark.
I gasped and quickly ran out of the room and down the hallways to the only room leftover with no occupants in it. The one nearest the stairs. Pushing it open, I saw Fakir and Uzura sitting beside Rue, who was sleeping peacefully.
"It's been three days-zura," said Uzura. "Fakir-sama had to make an excuse to get you out of school."
"How's Rue?" I asked Fakir right off the bat. "Is she alright?" I added, sitting by her side on the light blue sheets.
"She's been asking for you in her sleep, Ahiru," Fakir replied, looking at me, then back at Rue. "But she in very good shape and should be waking soon."
Noticing Uzura had bathed her and changed her into a white nightshirt, and brushed out her black hair, I smiled with a sigh. "That's good." She was much more beautiful in this state. Her silky midnight hair was sprawled across the white pillow. Her face was calm. Wondering why Uzura had put fresh make-up on her, for her white cheeks were emitting a lovely shade of pink and her lips were red, Ahiru thought she had become very beautiful in three years. Her face was now squeaky clean and so was the rest of her body.
Then she started to stir. Letting out a grunt, she opened her almond eyes and darted her eyes to all of us. Mostly me.
"Ahiru," she said, relieved. Then her face changed to an alarmed state. "You have to help Mytho!"
"But…I can't." I looked away. "I'm no more of Princess Tutu…"
"What?" Rue croaked. "You have to! He's been stolen away by the Monster Raven!"
"He was defeated though," Uzura sniffed, crossing her arms. "Monster Raven went away-zura."
"No," Rue interrupted, narrowing her eyes. "He's not the one who's back, but a bloodline of his. A victim that suffered like me." She stared at me, harshly. "We can't let this happen again. Drosselmeyer is viscous, he'll do anything to make another story. And Mytho is in trouble! W-we c-can't let him…" And crystal tears starting dripping down her face.
"But…I can't transform! I-I don't have the pendant!" I stammered. But then Rue only smiled.
"You don't have the pendant, but I know Princess Tutu is still in there, like Princess Kraehe is still in my heart. She'll never let go of me, as the same with Princess Tutu. You must, for the sake of Mytho, me, Fakir, Uzura, and yourself. I'll help you, for I can still borrow Princess Kraehe's power," Rue said, still smiling. Her gentle voice poured into my soul, and I knew she was right.
"You're right," I admitted, sighing. Then I gasped. I felt the night tugging me into the darkness. "T-the darkness is pulling me in!" I cried.
Rue seemed to be struggling with something also. But a shine of determination flashed in her eyes. "Let's go." With that, she boldly stood up and I did as well.
That's when the darkness and light combined. Before I knew it, my body felt like fire and ice. Struggling not to scream, I closed my eyes shut and a warm, inviting light closed in around my body. I curled up lovingly in its warmth, and the pain soon faded away to warmth and happiness. It was if I had died and I was being lifted up into heaven.
When I emerged from the warmth of the light, and it broke. I felt a pendant close around my neck, and I smiled like I had been smiling for all eternity. Before I knew it, it was standing in the street, and Rue had once again become Princess Kraehe. As I had become Princess Tutu.
"I'm no longer a raven, but a bird of snow and ice," Rue said softly.
Princess Kraehe was beautiful. More than different. This was the real Princess Kraehe. Her hair was no longer black, but white and put in a bun. Her dress was more resembled to mine, except it wasn't white, but an angelic blue. Her toe shoes were white, and a white ribbon sprouted from her back. Snowflake shaped earrings dangled loosely from her ears. Rue's stocking were as well no longer black, but also white.
"Let's go, Princess Tutu," she said heartedly. I wished I could scream and jump for joy in the way I felt, but then again, I had a feeling of protection for Fakir, everybody. Uzura, Mytho, Rue herself. That's when I started to cry. Tears of happiness dripping through my face. I nodded, letting the tears keep falling.
Rue seemed like her old self, and she took hold of my hand. "I have access to the world the Monster Raven was in. After all, I was his daughter…but I was saved by the bravest souls in the world." I started to cry even more, and she held me closer, and once again light and darkness came together.
When our sides came together, the feeling was so overcoming I definitely knew this was a dream. But the feeling of Rue holding me proved it wasn't. My stomach started to hurt, and as I looked at Rue, I told her, "My stomach hurts."
"It does that," she replied hastily. "Oh, we're here."
Then we fell a couple feet and my feet hit a freezing cold ground. The freezing air surrounded us, and I noticed we were in an ice cave. Beautiful ice sparkled around me, and I wondered if the enemy really lived in here. "The new enemy has decided to take shelter in my domain. But they'll lead us to their original area."
Rue pointed at a figure walking towards us, well, sliding gracefully on one foot, on her toes. How very balanced they must've been. Then the figure came out.
A young girl came into view. Her black hair was in a tight braid and down to her ankles. Her purple eyes flashed as she smiled wickedly. Her dress was black and it fell to her knees. White stockings covered her legs, and black toe shoes fitted her feet perfectly. She wore long black gloves and a heavy looking black necklace. Black moon shaped earrings were hanging from her ears. The girl's stomach showed, and the top was tied around her stomach, as toe shoes would around a leg. The top barely covered her chest, and she sighed.
"Glad you could come." Then she realized Rue was here, and she put a hand to her mouth. "Oops, I hope I'm not intruding in your own home."
"Who are you?" I said, stepping forward slightly.
"I am Princess Araena, sister of the Monster Raven. You should show me respect, for all you've shown me is rude manners. For instance, you asked me who I was. That's pure disrespect for someone of my importance."
"If you want to know where my real domain is, follow me," she continued. And a harsh laugh came from her as ravens surrounded her body, and let go. When all the raven's cleared, she was gone.
"Hurry, Ahiru," Rue said. The same thing happened with her than what happened with Princess Araena. She was gone in a flash of snow. Before I knew it, in a flash of anger, I followed.
We ended up in a chilling place. The sun high in the air was crystallized, as if the sun no longer gave warmth. I shivered, and I watched as Princess Araena stepped forward.
"If you wish to battle, what will we battle for?"
"Mytho!" Rue shouted at her.
"Oh, that?" Princess Araena sounded bored. "Well, is this the Mytho you want?"
She turned to show the body of Mytho on a stone plate. He laid on it, and wouldn't move.
"Yes, him!" I said. "We'll also call for some help."
Rue- Ooh, so that's the real me? I'm pretty.
Ahiru- I cried?
Rue- And who are we calling on help for? The Frog Prince?
PA- Find out in the next chappie! Chappie seven! It'll be one to enjoy!
Rue- It better be
Ahiru- Yeah, I cried to have a good ending
Rue- And what's up with my "domain?" Do us Princesses even have our own lands?
PA- Hey, I'm just being creative!
Ahiru- Sure...
