I can control it… okay… "Fly away and never come back here again." I said, my voice shaking. Immediately, the hawk took to the sky and flew away. I closed my eyes. I was so angry with myself. My parents died and I could have stopped it. "Vixen!" I could have stopped them from dying. If I wasn't such a stupid fairy I could have figured this out sooner - "Vixen!" - and they would still be alive. My legs buckled and I hit the ground. "Vixen!" I looked up dumbly, I didn't recognise the voice. Hands were on me, checking me. I stared into space, not caring what anyone did to me. I should have let it kill me. I shouldn't have froze it. I shouldn't have done anything to help myself. "Vixen! What happened?!" A voice shouted with urgency. This one I recognised. Christian. "Someone get the queen! Go!" He shouted. What if I hurt him? What if I hurt another fairy or sparrowman? I can't control myself. Everytime I get angry I lash out. What if I kill someone? I began to come to my senses, pulling myself to my feet before backing away from Christian, Tinkerbell, Rosetta, Fawn, Silvermist and Iridessa. "Stay away from me!" I shouted at them.
"Vixen we want to help you, come on," Tinkerbell said, stepping towards me.
"Please! Don't," I begged, shaking my head and backing away from her. "I don't want to hurt you!"
"You won't. You saved me, Vixen. Why would you hurt us?" Silvermist stepped forward.
"Stop! Please just stay where you are! I can't control it! If I get angry or scared I could do something! Please I'm begging you! Stay away from me!" I sobbed. I didn't want them to leave me alone. But I knew that for their own safety, they had to.
"No. We are not leaving you." Christian said with determination. "But if you want us to stay over here then we will, but we are not going to leave you." He reached out and pulled Tinkerbell and Silvermist back. I looked at him with pleading eyes. Vidia appeared, breathless.
"She's coming," She panted. No! Queen Clarion! No! I can't! I panicked, my mind screaming at me. I could hurt her! My breathing quickened to quick sharp breaths, two per second. My hands began to sweat and I rubbed them together.
"Please, don't let her come, please." I begged.
"I did not just fly to the Pixie Dust Tree in record time for no reason!" Vidia snapped. "She's coming, like it or not!" I shook my head as the tears fell. I wiped my eyes with the backs of my hand.
"Then leave!" I shouted. "If she's coming then you don't need to be here! Go away!" My voice broke.
"No!" They all shouted back. I screamed in anger and frustration, turning away from them, running my fingers through my hair and gripping it. A bright golden glow appeared in the corners of my eyes. I turned slowly.
"Please, I will get down on my knees and I will beg you, go away. All of you. You don't know what could happen if I -"
"Nor do you! You might not do anything!"
"I know myself better than you do! I could do something! I could end up killing all of you! Just go! Leave me alone!" I screamed the last three words, shooting a mixture of red and turquoise dust at them. They all disappeared. I hung my head and sobbed hard.
It didn't take me long to realise that I had sent them all to the Pixie Dust Tree, I remembered thinking about sending them there. For some annoying and unknown reason, I flew to the Pixie Dust Tree. "There!" I heard Fawn yell. I looked up, they were in the branches of the tree, high above me. A brilliant golden light appeared in front of me. I found myself looking into the eyes of Queen Clarion. I hung my head in shame. "I'm sorry." I whimpered.
"Come here." Her voice wasn't hard or cold, but it was definitely harsher than it usually was. I was terrified and I didn't dare to disobey her, so I stepped forward. "Closer." I took another step. "Closer." Despite her anger, she was being patient. Soon I was directly in front of her, my body very nearly touching hers. "Look up." I did as I was told. Then I got the shock of my life as her hand raised up...
Heh heh heh I'm cruel. I'm writing the next chapter, don't worry. Also for those of you who don't know, I have a fun little fact about Queen Clarion... tomorrow... the 25th of September... is...
HER ARRIVAL DAY! Wooo! That makes her 399 years young! I had to share that with you, and I wanted to leave you wondering what she's going to do to Vixen...
