The carriage came to a halt along a row of gravemarkers. A guard walked to the side to open the door, and a single occupant got out, the Queen of Enchancia.
"I wish to be alone." She said simply to the guards, who bowed in acknowledgement, and stayed by the carriage as she strolled off.
Walking the now familiar path, Amber looked at the basket in her arms. A mix of the most beautiful flowers filled it, along with the buttercups that Cedric had given her.
She stopped when she reached a large stone mausoleum. It was covered in intricate carvings and beautiful flowers and greenery surrounded it. She paused for a moment before pushing open the large doors.
This never got easier.
She wished that she could see the beauty and design of the structure, both inside and out, but all it was to her was her family's tomb.
She walked by each of the coffins in the space- four in total- and gently set a collection of flowers on each. Like the mausoleum itself, each coffin was carved beautifully out of stone. She couldn't focus on that, though. Only on what was housed inside of them.
The Queen could only imagine what each of them would say to her if they were here now.
James and Sofia would probably try to cheer her up. They always would. They were always trying to make her laugh, or sing, or dance, or whatever fun thing they wanted to do. Her parents, on the other hand, would probably try to assure her that everything's okay. That's what they would always do, even when it wasn't.
Like now.
Once her basket had been emptied of flowers, she stood in the doorway and looked onto each of them one last time. "I miss you all. So much." She said, holding back tears as she subconsciously grabbed the amulet around her neck. "...And I'm sorry."
With that, she turned and left, closing the doors behind her.
It never gets easier.
A/N:
I know this one is short, but it's kind of filler.
Anyway, thank you to everyone who's read this far, and to everyone who's been reviewing, I see and appreciate you all so much!
I swear that I'm going to finish this story. I'll have more time to write after this month ends so hopefully I'll be able to get chapters out faster.
Thank you to everyone for understand! Toodles!
