Recap

"Just, give me a minute to collect myself." I stood up and almost fell into some bushes beside the bench, but I caught myself and started walking slowly forward along the sidewalk that lead to a fountain. I sat down on the edge and stared into the water to see a confused, angry, and...evil girl staring back. Her eyes were not the same Sapphire like they normally always were. They were a darker blue, like navy. I shook my head and splashed water in my face to try and snap me out of it. I stood back up and stared determinedly over at the battle field.

"Father!" I called, pointing an accused finger at him. "I am ready. I am ready to finally battle, and defeat you, once and for all."

That's when I grasped my head and almost screamed out in pain. That voice...the voice that had been talking to me earlier, it was going crazy. There were so many other voices, but they were all the same, just all talking at once! I couldn't take it, it felt like my head was about to erupt.

I staggered backwards and fell into the fountain. I couldn't make out what any of the voices were saying, but they all still had that eerie, evil tint in them that sent shivers up my spine.

Everyone stood there shocked for a long time. Almost everyone...except for one person.

One minute, I had anger and determination as I said those words to my father. The next, pain and confusion was all they could read on my face as I fell back into the fountain. This wasn't good, how could I possibly fight with that voice going nuts in my head?

Suddenly...something snapped. Something BIG. I stood up onto the ledge of the fountain as my dad made his way cautiously over to me. My eyes started glowing...just the tips were getting that strange, black, eerie fire. And my eyes were now that deep navy blue I had seen in my reflection a few minutes ago. My hands were engulfed with that same fire, and I started floating....

"Get...OUT!!" I couldn't control it anymore, it all came out. The fire shot from my eyes and my hands. And the voices became a swirling vortex in my head. Everyone gasped. Except for one person....

The fire that had shot out of me was now spinning around me like a tornado, my hair was flying in every direction. I wasn't controlling this. This was beyond me and my simple powers. Something big was inside me, and I was doing what it wanted all along. Letting it out.

But finally...the voices quieted, and eventually faded away. The strange whispering voices were now replaced with...peace. My mind was at ease as I slowly fell back into the fountain, which immediately extinguished the dark fire as quickly as it had came, and my eyes turned back to normal.

Once I had stood back up, now dripping wet, and scared to death about what was happening to me, I lifted my head slowly. I looked into every pair of eyes that were glued on me. Confusion. Concern. Fear. Many things were written in every pair of eyes. I knew about as much as they did, which was scary, because it was all happening to me.

Then....the voice came back. But it was no longer a whisper, and no longer was it many tiny little voices. It was a dark,booming voice that shook my entire body, even though the voice was still concealed inside my head.

"Finish it. Kill. Him." My eyes went back to the darker tint as they flashed over to my fathers face. He slowly began to retreat as I advanced towards him. I don't know what it was in that voice that made me obey, but it was pulling me toward him, and I couldn't stop it. When I had finally backed my father into the wall of my house, the voice didn't want to be in my head any longer, the words it said shot straight out of my mouth towards him.

"See what you have done to this poor, innocent girl?" The voice was nothing like mine, which made everyone's eyes widen in shock...except for one pair of eyes..."You have given her strength and power beyond anyone's belief."

My father stood tall and full of pride. "Thank you, my queen."

Queen? What the hell?...

"You think I should repay you for resurrecting me by giving me a perfect vessel in which to rule the world in?"

"Yes, I do, my queen. For it says whoever awakens the queen and gives her the perfect vessel, shall rule over her."

That's when I snapped. It all made sense now. No matter how powerful this queen thing was inside me, it was no match again the fury and rage I felt inside right now. It was beyond human rage. Beyond any amount of rage in the entire world. Universe. I over powered the queen and sank down to my knees.

"You..." I whispered, my voice sounded so weak and shaky....I was not only angry...but hurt. "I knew...you never cared about me. You always acted as though you did...but I always saw through it...."

"Kimiko?" My father bent down and tried to look me in the eyes. I bowed my head to stare at the ground, because I knew if I looked into his eyes, I would murder that man.

"I thought it was just an act so that I would be more than happy to become the Fire Lord...but now...this monster inside of me has made it perfectly. Clear." My hand instantly reached out and grabbed him by the throat. My nails dug deep into his skin until it drew blood, as my head snapped up with angry red eyes, and I stood up, lifting him and pinning him against the wall. He clawed desperately at my hand.

"K-Kimiko, please....sweetie..." I slammed him hard into the wall.

"Don't call me that damnit. You only acted nice to me....Because of YOUR PRECIOUS QUEEN! YOU put her inside of me! I'm the 'Perfect Vessel' You were NICE to me ONLY because of HER. You were never nice to me." I pulled him down so he was eye level with me. "You never loved me." My hand was set on fire. Not with red fire. Not with black fire, but with blue fire. "You only loved. Her." I saw one last spark of like in his eyes, before his entire body was consumed with my blue flames, and immediately turned to ash. I stood there with my hand still out like it was gripping his throat, with only ashes left. The wind gently swept across the yard, and blew my fathers ashes away. My hair softly swayed in the gentle breeze. Fresh tears streaked down my cheeks, and were forever lost in the wind, as were my fathers ashes.

I slowly crumpled to my knees and stared at the ground. My eyes turned back to the gentle, crystal-like sapphire eyes everyone had come to love. But at this point...I didn't care about Jack, or Raimundo. Didn't care about becoming the Fire Lord. Didn't care about the monster inside of me. Didn't care who watched me fall apart. I didn't care about anything. I gently laid down in the soft grass, and curled up into a ball. I let my tears soak into the dirt beneath my face, turning it to mud. I let everything go. A sob escaped my lips as my body trembled. And I fell apart in front of my friends, my enemy, and the monster.

(Sorry sorry, short? Yes. Eventful? Yes. You Review? Yes please^^)
