Part two! Special thanks to Luna Miste for her review!

I groan, pulling myself up off the forest floor. My head's reeling. It usually is after dealing with my wolfishness.

Only this time is different. I'm right near the portal. That's the first time that's ever happened. And Ash is right next to me, petting my hair and checking over me to see if I'm okay.

Let me tell you a bit more about Ash. She's probably one of my best friends, although I'm a bit surprised as to why she'd want to be friends with me after all the horrible things I've done to her.

She says, and I quote "You feel much better when you can forgive and look past the imperfection."

See, Ash is sort of Jack Frost's sister. No, not the one he saved from the cracking ice. Actually, she's not really even his sister, but she was his cousin, and she was taken in after her real mom died. And didn't realize she was adopted until she looked at her memories.

That's one thing we have in common. Neither of us can really remember our mothers. I can't remember my father, either, but that's because I'm a star. The closest thing I had to a mother was Miss Astrid. And my siblings were my unit.

I do miss them. But since I'm a threat, I'm only allowed to go back to recharge my wishing power.

But back to Ash. She had people that cared about her. And I guess I got jealous. So one day, when she got knocked out in battle, I sort of kidnapped her and locked her up in a fragile tower.

A fragile tower is a tower made from cloud bits, sunbeam, moonstone, crystal, and starlight.

And I froze her in a block of ice. Which kept her out of the way for two years. Ash is a phoenix spirit. The ice totally dampened her powers.

But then one day, she escaped. I don't know how she did it, I never asked.

But I told Jack and the summer spirit, Julio Summers, that Ash had been killed. Then I told them she'd been brought back, sort of like Sandy. Only I told them I was her, and I was just an altered version.

That's right. For two whole years, I posed as her. I had studied her memories beforehand, so that helped with my cover.

I adopted practically everything about her except her fire power. I even kissed her kinda-sorta boyfriend. Twice.

And during all that, I sort of lost who I really was. I got so used to being Ash the Firehearted, I forgot to be Allegra Astrea Wishes.

And I'm still trying to get back into my own skin. And feel comfortable with it.

But when Ash escaped, we argued for the longest time. A few punches were thrown. (I was on the receiving end for most of them.)

I can understand why she punched me. I really deserved it. But I guess after we had a long chat, we began to see eye to eye, to understand each other. And eventually, she forgave me.

As time went by, we got closer and closer. And we're best friends now. Almost sisters.

The power of forgiveness sure is amazing, isn't it?
