it was the next morning I woke up, and I knew I was room on in my bed soon to be Prince sleeping on the floor near me his eyes closed. He was still dreaming away at the moment I stayed up, stretched knocked on marine ice blinked. I remember now where I was, I was inside ion, safe for now. That was a good thing the best place to be inside the protective arms in the protective light of this place. I touched the steadiness of the walls and felt movement the walls were breathing but that's impossible walls can't breathe I went down and saw him, his pills were pale, hair spell blonde hair piled up next underneath him like a beautiful pillow he was laid on his back, not on his stomach, which was weird for him and out down by him. I couldn't get over how beautiful he looked.

then he stirred Hasbulla dies opening, and looked it up at me for a motion. For a moment his face looked emotionless. It was a Greek moment size came alive for took a long time for that to happen and emotions tears on his face he looked up and smiled at me, you're awake you're awake. I've been awake a little longer than you.

I think we're even I said what do you think that he asked I saved you for Nightmare Mountain and you saved me Raven we're in true love for each other I said I guess we are we would do anything for each other I noted but I meant what I said, I will protect you forever you know that I said yes of course you would. You would keep me safe no matter what would happen.

I know he said he said it at the same time to know it's time for us to get up course. I've been up now it's your turn even though I wanted to stare at him. I need to go get ready for the day and you need to, can we just lay in my bed for a while? No, I'll be too tempted.

I don't worry let me a day we'll be sharing a bed and not it and smile at mine. What are you gonna do today? I asked Lucy you're gonna see what it is. Mom has some big plan for us Zelena yes that's what you call her I nodded. I can't do that because that's her name but you need a distraction, and then tomorrow will have the funeral for your mother almost forgot I forgot my mother was gone, so was my father and my family gone? I had no family now I wished to touch his face to make sure it wasn't a mask to make sure that the bogeyman was in disguise, but I knew it wasn't. The bogeyman wouldn't be this gentle and ion would reject him if he wasn't here the castle wouldn't allow him inside.

OK, they brought my clothes or I would have nothing to wear. I cleaned out my room I wanted to see but I don't want to see you at the same time but that's what we did after we got ready and ate breakfast. We went back to my house, which wasn't that far from the palace because well we were on the same property.

I walked in most of my house. Most of my house was the way it was when I left her but everything else I went upstairs to my bedroom my bed was made. My favorite comforter was on the bed and ions so I didn't have that here anymore, I checked my clothing and everything to see if there was anything here, but my room was stripped. I guess Miss Helena stripped it for me. She packed everything and all of my toiletries were also overtaken. It didn't matter because all of it was in my room bathroom my mother's room was stripped completely bare. I don't know where her things went since she was dead I guess it was being donated to charity, I said in my mom's room and cried missing her Mom was the only family I had left and now she's gone and I was alone with strangers, except for the love of my life mother only thing left in her room was a picture of her mother I had it close to me I'll take this with me. I thought I saw only think of mama I'll get the keep. I guess I didn't wanna donate that. Anything mom said was a picture of her anything I took no one would sell those things and her queen crown I didn't take that either I took that as well that didn't get packed my things. I started a bag of things looking around to see if there was anything that was missing I saw the biggest treasure chest I'd ever seen it was somewhat empty so I put some treasures my mother's photo the crown, but I saw a look inside I was surprised, but I wasn't surprised to see the family jewels still inside and dig through them, picking up a piece at a time, the family jewels, putting on this crown in their photo and any other treasure, I could find I heard his voice I had Luther's voice calling mine Lily Lily where are you?

I'm in here I called I'm in my mother's room. Do you want to see me bent over a beautiful treasure? Chest covered in beautiful stones. Wow, nothing is. His gold is our gold. He said you know how much gold that would be worth if we melted it into gold coins you wouldn't would you course not why would I destroy something so beautiful yeah, more treasure he said sitting down next to the treasure chest. What is this my mother's crown?

he took it out and placed it on my head. The queen's crown looks better on you and smiled me up into those beautiful eyes. I picked up stone after stone, showing them to him because you're my family jewels. No, we need to take this ion with us then he said we can look through it there. it's something disturbing you I asked I'm not sure I need to go up to the attic why I probably have inheritance up there as well and I need to fill this treasure chest dispatch as I can and I want to take everything anything that can't be sold I said clothing can be sold secondhand clothes except for your royal clothes. Yes, I don't want those sold in a garage sale, those dresses are worth more than my money. I mean more than anything those are authentic, royal clothing. I can't let it be given away or sold away mom's ordinary clothes I don't. I'm fine with parting with it, but not her Royal clothing she kept them up in the attic and I feel like all those clothes are now mine do you have so much and then he's on course you Royal you have to have a lot of stuff turn on me around and kissing me. Do you understand I'll help he said do you think the treasure chest can hold that much, there's probably more upstairs in the attic trunks like this let's take this one first and then come back and on it, as we carry the box that carried all my family jewels we carry them to iron and carry them to my room. I said it into a corner.

then we ate lunch, and then we went back to my house. My mother's room was stripped. The only thing I grabbed out of there that would put in the next trunk is a big golden mirror that I hadn't taken earlier, covered in jewels, the vanity mirror, and the vanity I wish I had magic to carry these things, I said furniture moving is gonna be a lot harder. He said he didn't take your vanity. My vanity is an ordinary vanity I said with an ordinary mirror, so I'm fine with selling it. I didn't get the luxury one, but my mother insists on having hers here somehow how did she get it here magic I don't know how it was compact at one point, and it fell inside the drew into the treasure chest. I'm guessing it collapses on itself Mom will figure that out let's go to the attic we went upstairs to add it to the attic room of our house his mouth dropped open when he saw everything that was up there you're richer than Riley was look at all this his face lit up when he saw everything and seen so much wealth in one place you're so rich I was it was only things we can salvage that didn't get destroyed it's a lot he said I know all the beautiful things that I forgotten about and ran my fingers across all the clothing all the stuff that I had that mom decided to save she must've taken them out of the trunks and hung them in here I want through different gowns and dresses that were my mothers. Mostly my mother's. None of my sister's stuff are here or brothers, my father's things were here though I found my father's clothing. I'm surprised Mom saved any of this. I went to the back of the room and two big bags zipped up bags were standing one was my father's wedding suit mother saved this outfit that my father got married in to my mother next to it was my mother's dress that she wore during her crowning ceremony it was the dress she wore to her coronation I didn't know your mother had to be coordinated. She was because she was married and she wasn't born into royalty. She was married into it. I said, my father was the Royals won my royal blood comes from him.

I took his hand in mine, feeling it between my fingers. He had my father's suit from his wedding. I didn't know you were so into things like this not he said this isn't normally what I would be willing to look at. I know you're a genius you're more into your experience experiments, than clothing, but I love looking at your heritage I'm not I want to save all these dresses I might wear them you'll probably look beautiful in all of them he said how did your mom get them down? There's a trunk somewhere in here and an empty one that fits all of these clothing pieces to it and look at my mother's wedding dress. I would long to unzip the bag that was in and touch it. The dress mother was to her wedding. I did not wear it on my own the dress I wore to my wedding was a lot different than this one is darker and not my style, it was black I don't like wearing black dresses I'd rather wear white you look sad I am I'm sad I said all I wanted was to have a white wedding a chance to wear a white beautiful dress to my wedding day as my father want me down the aisle now I won't get that chance because my father and mother dead, my body tremble to he wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. I can give that to you.

the unzipped brand wedding dress I just need to unzip it for a moment unzip it, and touch it. I know this is what Mom wanted me to wear at my wedding. I thought the satin lace under my fingertips I felt like heaven I had a beautiful dress to me. I had to be careful and how to put it back in the bag once I was done but I couldn't model in front of him. I had to strip. I'm sorry I can't model this in front of you. I said I'll get to see where it is soon he said, along with your mother's crown, I can't wear the queen's crown I'm not gonna be the queen you are no we can't go to my homeland now we can I know we can't fit in here we're feeling better in a decimal place and rebuilt I wear your fathers' outfit stand. I turned around. I got a fit you little bit too big you'll be a site.

I doubt that he said, I mean it might not fit but I could make it work for you. I smiled a little bit at that you might wanna zip that dress back up annoying as I put the dress back into the bag and zipped it I folded the bag neatly and put it into the trunk that was empty and started putting all the other clothes in there, too, you know you have to start wearing royal clothing I said royal clothes do you have to be a king you know and I know you don't like that idea I'm not gonna be like Janice if that's what you're thinking I smiled I know I didn't think it would be kissing both my hands all right I hope you pack these things you would I mean of course you would you would you could help me clean up

The attic was starting to empty all of my mother's clothes, especially since all her royal stuff was being packed up and so was my father. I can't believe she kept all the stuff hidden from the destruction except for the outfit he was wearing that day, which was the royal guard outfit that he wore for battle. That's the only unfit mother I couldn't keep because it was all bloody and dirty and he was lying on the ground in that outfit, I've already gotten everyone to get the unicorns put away. He said they're inside those staples in the ion. Thanks.

that it was starting to empty boxes of shoes dresses everything's been packed into all the trunks. All her memorabilia are we going to hike home soon but not yet I'll be storing all this in my room some of these clothing pieces we put in our new castle island, I can't believe this. I am just going to be the new castle the dream room. then coldness swept through me. We're gonna be near the nightmare. Don't worry he said Alex isn't gonna get to you. I promise that I'll finish with your father's daughter started. He said you can't face up against Alex he will kill you just like he did my father and then I'll lose you and I'll be like my mother, you forget I have magic darling he said I forgot about my win an earth, magics and time magic. It won't work here in the human world. Are you sure?

he transformed into the wind right in front of me. His magic does work even using this time-stop spell in a frozen place. He was just moving air spell the correctly, creating a magical wind barrier around us inside my hair ripped around me outside was calm. He canceled spells with one hand, with his earth spell, he used to make his hands stronger with Cassie and Rich. He grabbed my hands with a firm grip and brought him out down on mine. You still have your powers. Yes, Alex will have nothing to hide from me he won't be able to fight against me. I could break every bone in his body if I had to, my heart melted when he said that

you don't need to worry I'll be a strong king. I will see her you ready to for that responsibility. Are you ready to rule I know the subjects I'll be ruling darling said Lily. I know what I'm doing. The people who will be ruling over will be the Elysian's anointed I won't be able to reanimate your family and friends. I'm sorry.

I don't have the magic to bring back the dead that will bury your family and friends a promise will even bring your mother's body to bury in her homeland. If you are next to your father, and on it, we have to make graves for them. Of course, I'm not gonna leave bodies lying around like I did for the fall Dorian your family was innocent and innocently destroyed, they did nothing wrong to deserve to be destroyed like that I would never do that to innocent people never I to you. Lily said my name is Sophie I finished cleaning up every piece of clothing, every piece of furniture that was small enough that we could fold with magic was folded and put back into the crates back inside the boxes, like inside our big trunks even my mothers crown I had my crown, but it was only a princess, one my mothers' wedding dress packed away my mothers, real clothing, packed away once again, all the hangers, and everything taken down the ceilings, the racks and everything folded away and put into the big trunks what is this? He said picking up a bracelet that I had that when I was born, it was placed on my wrist at my birth. It's a special bracelet to indicate that I was the youngest one in line for the throne. I said that I was the youngest child, and my feet were sealed, but I didn't count that. I would be a counterpart in you being born.

he took the little bracelet in his hand. It was too small for my wrist. Now it was only made for a baby we could have this remade for our child he said, but more differently. Everyone in my family wore one I said, except my mother, and she was married and she didn't wear them, but anyone who's born into the royal family got one even my father, he found a little bracelet in his hands. Your mother kept this she's hoping I'd use it for my child. It was heavy in gold. I'm surprised it fits you. It's so heavy. I can't imagine how many gold pieces were made to make this I took the little bracelet put it inside the trunk and locked it. All the trucks were done we just had to get them down. I need to get more people to help there are too many trucks for both of us.

Wait here I said in the attic I can't wait. This is the end. He kissed me and then he left. I waited there for a while while he went to go get everyone else at least those who can help I guess and he went to go get Teen 13 and Ash maybe even the masters too I don't know how many I forgot how many trucks there were I don't know he can carry them all on his own and will take several trips to get them down the stairs and outside to Ion. Then we have to unpack them and put them all in my room. I may not unpack them though, because not everything needs to be unpacked, all the clothing that mine is already put away this stuff is a special thing. especially the wedding dress my mother's wedding dress I watched every one of the trucks carried out 1013 come in and say thanks I waved and Ash and Ash way back helping carry things for me. I was proud he'd be a great sibling-in-law I thought.

it took all day and most of the next day to get everything packed in the trunks and brought in and then we set all the trunks in my room. I'll have to figure out where they're all going to go. He said they're not all gonna stay in here when we get married, I said this room will become the storage room for all the stuff sounds good to me.

The one thing I want to see you and Pat at one point is your mother's wedding dress. He said I wanna see you in it and blushed at the thought. I'd like to see you in my father's suit I said I bet you look stunning in it you're already handsome, but he would look even more handsome. He smiled at me, when the final bags and final trucks were brought out of the attic workers cleaned, I kept most of my mother's things except for things that I couldn't sell or keep like furniture like our beds and things someone else would buy this house. He said we will be moving soon or later, when I don't know, maybe, as soon as we get married, I grinned I Farlow high river Hwy ArtThe, Hwy, Rimes Hwy, my beautiful Prince, charming my Prince, charming with violet eyes, the sparkled I think me being here made him feel happier or him being here by my side because it was a nice good size one, so I piled the trunks in there it was an extra closet in my room, the main closet where my actual clothes were on the other side of the room

it's a good thing because some of those trunks had some of our crown jewels and I could not let those fall into the wrong hands. Mostly with all my ordinary clothes like shorts and T-shirts that I kept out let me a few summer dresses they weren't completely like royal princess type stuff. I didn't have normal clothes after all. so it's time I pulled out my mother's trunks a found a great perfect dress to bury her in. I found one nice and pure and then I laid it out. I just can't believe the mother was gone. I reminded myself my beloved that we had church on Sunday. Of course he said I won't miss it and your mother's funeral will be the next day. I don't remember me.

then our engagement ball is on Sunday night. He said his Pam blonde hair, so perfect right I'm excited me too you're free from Alex for now I said he will never bother you again darling he said you're the most beautiful woman in the world and you deserve better than him, I deserve to have my counterpart by my side. I laughed and giggled about it. I was happy that he thought that I should

be by his side always he slowly kissed my lips. I'll let you finish and pack and go trunks, putting them away and not thank you you need some privacy he said, I love you I love you too my love, Lily I not yes don't worry everything's gonna turn out. OK, you'll see everything will turn out right in the end. He reassured me and he left the room for the moment.

I'm busy myself unpacking. Most of my stuff is on the pad except for the new clothing I found like I said most of those trunks I put away in the closets in Mary I'll be moving into his room I won't be staying in here anymore and I'll make this room a storage room for all the trunks and things, I thought I put everything away. I changed into more comfortable clothing, shorts and T-shirts and stuff. I'd rather wear comfy clothes when I'm not dressed up we're not doing anything special that day, but I did put shoes on of course the slides even though I'd rather walk around the eye room, touching the eye really in the floor with my bare feet, having shoes on is the best thing to do so I walked around now. I was dressed and brushed my Honeycone hair and pulled it back. I can't believe this. Will be my home now. I was lucky I got to live in the most beautiful palace in the world even though I love my home there's nothing like living inside this place I was secure here the bogeyman cannot get in without being invited. I was safe.

it's all good to walk around the castle. The last time I've been in a castle was when I was little well now I was in a castle a few years ago before it was destroyed, but not one like this and that one made by my lover two hands is amazing to feel my hand against the cool I really in walls as I walked.

as I was walking, I saw Ash Ash with me oh Miss Lily Ash said, what are you doing? Just walking I said I just wanted to explore a bit. Do you know how to explore this place properly asked Force of a Florida mini of time and I got to walk around it a lot when I was separated from my brother Ash said there was a time when we were separated. Also, I got to explore for that and many times before it was captured and nodded I can show you the best places in Ash said well I know I know where most things are. I know where the kitchen is I laughed or she would know where that is. Yes because I like to cook I said most of the time I don't get to cook because my mom cooks is Helena. That's it also my other mother as well who misses Alden? I asked yes Adriana both her and Helen to take turns, it's it is a bet it's weird having two moms. What is my adoptive mother and the other one is my biological mother my birth mother I see I don't have a mother now I know I said and I know it's sad for you.

also know this great chasm that you can teleport across with a teleporter and there's a real fountain filled with liquid. I am Ash said I thought you would remember I do kind of from playing. I just can't believe I'm actually on the inside of ion and I don't get to live in my house anymore. I got everything out of it that I wanted to keep that's not even all the bedding that I liked mother bedding I washed and got it ready for being sold along with the furniture inside the house before we sell the house you're not selling it furnished, no selling all the furniture first then sell the house garage sale things that I couldn't sell and he couldn't take I'm selling let my mama my moms everyday clothes. I wash them all of course and then we're gonna garage sale and I'll sell everything everything will be sold and that'll make everything better and I'll sell this house in this land, that will make it easier for us to move

and I guess we're going to help you I said yes I know you have never done garage sales before. No, you don't sell garage I laugh I first thought that too and I was a little girl that a garage sale is y'all yard sale is when you sell your yard or your garage Ashli and I stood there laughing. He thought that was funny. What's so funny is Riley said if she walked up to us talking about garage sales, I said I thought I was gonna sell the garage. Oh that's funny that is funny because I told Ash about how I thought that selling the garage and having a garage sale means you sell the garage or if it's the yard if we got a yard sale then you're going to sell the yard, but that's not how it goes. I have a lot to learn to be human said Riley. Yes, y'all have to learn how to become human to everyone here you're aliens, I said, makes sense said Riley no one had seen us before.

are you hungry Mr. Lee? Yes, I am OK. Food done come to the kitchen. Everyone is there too. I want with Ashli in Riley to the kitchen. I talked to both of them about how life is in the human world, and they told me about what things were like in Alencia without the watch part, I told him how much I grew up as a princess Riley's face, but Riley's face made this sad face you were at Royal I did I said I was the youngest of 10 the youngest of 10 how was it being the youngest? Riley asked it was hard I guess it was hard to get attention with nine other siblings. Both Ashton and Riley made a face I mean we each have only one sibling, said Riley. I have an Anna Lise and Ash has a Luther I know I couldn't imagine having to share anything with nine others and keeping up with all their names.

we talked as we wanted to order. The kitchen is not good the closer and closer we got to it this place is big I said tell me about it Riley you lived in a palace yourself, yes, but my castle is smaller. I said, how could it with all those people I mean it was a good size castle palace, but it's small compared to Ion I said.

A place like this would shadow the original old palace that I lived in. I said no one now that I have the only person that's in my family I have to go meet with the Sandman Sandman. He's the one whose house was sleeping I said he'll tell me what I should do next, if I should pursue bringing my kingdom back, would you all help me or not? I don't need to go back and clean up everything though all the bodies that were killed as shivered. I mean there was a massacre of your kingdom anointed yes, the bogeyman killed them. Everyone is gone. You all are my new family and friends and subjects if we decide to rebuild you, I said to Ash we do not have to be a servant or anything like that you'll be Royal as well and Riley you, and Annalise can also become royals again if you'd like you could be nobles at least what do you mean by that said Riley I didn't mean by being a princess maybe being a lady yes you in Anna Lise you and do you wanna lease I said directing myself I'm so used to calling you by your Val-d'Or your names it's fine to send Riley OK that I am if you don't want to be ladies, you could be duchesses that uses yes, it's a different title than a princess

And Ash you and Teen 13 can become nights except for Elise you and AC in Roger can become nights that's guards, right? Ash asked, not exactly I mean kind of, but you also do things I don't know who else will be in the night hood, but I was thinking that the two of the three of you could for sure I said.

of course, will need royal guards like we need a captain of the guard, and the guard itself agreed to make plans. I've always said coming up behind me I didn't have to guess who it was. The person came up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders, I turned and jumped a bit so that if I died, he would stare down at me and I smiled. I don't you to slow down a bit.

tell me to slow down is like crazy stuff I know he said but there's always nothing good when there's a bug involved I said, I just wanted to slow down a little. I'm sure you don't want to be my partner I asked, then you're not my true love and we both be dead no, he said that's not it Lily I adore you darling I don't want to do that. I'm not it and said good because I was worried there for a minute what's the dare Ash and Riley were watching us here at the stars around my waist and pushed me close to him. He kissed me for about a little while, I'm reassuring you he said reassuring me that I love you come on let's go eat something we went into the big dining room a feast was laid out for us. I hope we get some before seats at all. I said there's plenty of food I made doubles.

before he sat down, he put up my chair so I could sit everyone in the dining room and watch does he do this even Scarlet Hwy? Tennessee sensed it what a gentleman I know many voices couldn't side about it. They were jealous of the little bit of attention I was getting that he sat next to me and we passed the food around family style, even though there were hundreds of us I thought it would be a private dinner I'll give you one later he said just you and me I think we might go out I like that idea I said that would be fun I said around eight there are plenty of food. Everyone has enough.

everyone ate so they couldn't eat anymore. He hand and held his hand with the other and he did the same feeding himself. He said they were holding hands the whole time.

After that settled, said, said Helena we should go and check out the ballroom to make sure everything is set up properly. Of course, they went towards where the ballroom was. The ballroom was beautiful not because it was decorated for because I had never been in such a ballroom. it was so magnificent inside, it was grand and beautiful.

I can imagine myself dancing around in here mini balls to come and it would be a great place for the wedding as well. His room is perfect. I said I know said Helena good job Mom thank you dear she said.

I know you had plans to go to church yes, not today though today is not Sunday. No, we are going to go good 'cause we're all going. She said I'd love to check this out. It might help us strengthen our family she said he'll do more than that I said, it'll straighten it will strengthen your faith, I said, hopefully maybe let you walk in a closer relationship with him I said to become human you have to do this I mean you don't have to but it makes it easier. I said you all are aliens after all.

can you turn on make your lives easier here on earth with me will be better for you. I said we have to make our lives as normal as possible. It's not gonna be easy for you and what would people think of you dating other humans?

I didn't mean it that way I said I know I still love you Lily I still wanna marry you I know you do now what doesn't be a wonderful night not tonight, but when this happens, let's make it as good as we can agreed in your case, you only get married once in my case, the only get married twice, I said I kissed him. Let's go all right then.

A couple of weeks later

The group gets ready is their first time going we're nervous I love you don't have anything to worry about. I said to everyone there's plenty of room for all of us. I know it's your house's first time to go but I hope y'all enjoy it.

There's nothing to worry about. I know you came here with my mom for my mom's funeral so I hope you enjoy having a regular church service. Wow, we have a big crowd tonight. Yes, I said to the toilet my other church friends these are my friends from another place from another world cuddle Linzia Alessia Yes I wanna see ya aliens not exactly they're magical, I said, I mean like witches no like mages. I said no the same thing as witches.

but I want you to treat them like any ordinary people I said to one of my church friends of course I introduced my group of friends from ALYSIA to everyone and lastly introduced them to the love of my life and this is my boyfriend, my fiancé, I said, I Luther Timecrest oh congratulations my dear and you got such a good looking man. Thank you he said wow Mr. Lee and I'm sorry about your mother. It's fine the funeral was beautiful.

it was, wasn't it well, I think you all should go get yourself some seats. Yeah, this place will fill up soon. I know we all went and sat down.

Then the church service began. Everyone behaved well sitting through this I was surprised I was surprised I didn't ask myself questions yet I talked in the words of the hymns when it was time to sing in the worship songs that I enjoyed. Luckily, the church was big enough for everyone.

everyone in our group felt peace. After hearing the sermon a different power fell upon them the power of the Holy Spirit. They didn't understand it first what it was.

Afterward, we shoot for hands with everyone else and also the preacher. Whoever I didn't get to introduce my friends and my new lover to I walked around introducing them to as many people as I could in this town even though we probably won't be living here for very long will probably be living here for at least another couple of years, so I wanted them to know some of these people for a while. Some of them started chatting like they had known each other for years. Even Ezra looked relaxed the most I have seen him relaxed he was happy like he wasn't way down for anything. I asked him if everything was OK. Everything is fine Miss Lily he said, I never met such friendly people in the human world I know you won't be able to read their auras I said because we don't have Laora here. It'll be hard to tell if they're selfish or not he chuckled at that for a moment it is is it more green I sparkled do you have such a sense of humor, I left course. Sometimes you know when your counterpart is you have to be on your toes I said, that sometimes having a sense of humor helps.

what would be boring if we were always serious I said to Ezra of course I agree, even though I've always been that way. I would learn how to be looser. He said now that we're in a new world. I'll try my best. Sounds good you get to live the life you've always wanted to live, you won't have to worry about being the most on top, and don't worry about being the first mage. You don't have to worry about things like that anymore. You can relax and live a normal life for the rest of your eternal life.

you can be normal, and you can settle in and become human and live a normal life and life can be as normal as people like you are what do you mean? People will think you were aliens, I said.

I want to apologize to all counterparts as well. We're not all bad I said no he said again you're not. I thought all of you would be controlled by Alvin but I'm wrong.

He can't control me I said nothing besides, I had never been underneath an album's control in my life even when I first woke up as a counterpart when I first discovered my powers when I was nine I was controlled by Alvin. I was able to do everything on my own My powers are my own.

yeah, asked me what is it like I asked if was it like being a Christian. I was taking it back by the question what is it like? Well, it's hard to explain. I said one even if you're not, you can believe in miracles. Miracles are not exceptions they happen by circumstance.

I have to redo some stories one day. All of you that are not in the church service sounds good to me. I'd love to hear stories about miracles because like I said, they're not the same as exceptions a rule is government, but not by the same code do you think we are protected by the Holy Spirit? if there are two sides, you can pick light or darkness good or evil God or the devil I said when you choose what side you're gonna be on.

determines where you'll spend eternity, I said, in heaven, or in the bad place, which we call hell I said, do you have to choose to choose will help things easier for you, and for everyone else as well also, it'll be good to choose heaven because we will see each other there and the difference is you get eternal life and luxuries in heaven and the other place you get eternal torment and I don't think you'd want that I already get tormented he said I did and then you freed me I know it's because of the Holy Spirit in me is that I wouldn't be able to free you or anyone else. I'm hoping that you'll choose.

let me think about it he said give me some time. Of course, I will be having a Bible study sometime this week so that'll help us. Also, I hope to pray that God will perform a miracle from a scarlet, at least maybe to restore her vision in her skin oh, do you think that could happen course, it would be a miracle.

but I have to be prayed for first I can't just happen you have to pray for miracles is the only way they will happen I understand as I said, so you have to pray for things to happen of course yes but also if it's an exception, except since you have to accept Jesus into your heart first, and then pray to invite him in to ask him in it'll help with everything if you do, it's the best way the only way to heaven people know the way down the path of destruction because it's wide, but the path of the right path to takes you to heaven is straight and narrow very few people find it is not an easy road to walk it's not easy at all.

I understand now he said I understand it'll take some time take your time. Do you have time for a while?

I want free from Alvin. He said here in this new world it'll it'll be easier to it will be. I'll leave you alone now. Thank you I went and checked on everyone else and asked them how their first time at church went and had a great time. Some didn't as much, it was expected it was new to them

The only people knew only God people knew where the was Alvin or Ezra, but I got Ezra to be more vulnerable to being brought down from a God-like level. The only god-light person was Alvin and people feared him.

I don't know if there's nothing to be afraid of in this fine and normal, but if you, except Jesus then fear will be no need for he would need to fear anything nothing to be afraid of fear, except fear itself don't be afraid I said, don't be afraid to choose Don't be afraid to accept him.

some from the funeral decided to except for somewhere harder to convince even after today's service a few decided to put their faith in. I was excited that some were gonna be harder than others, like Ezra, something lives in fear.

Riley was one of those. I told her it was OK it's fine Riley I know you're afraid but it's going to be OK.

Do you think you'll forgive me for trying to push Ashli off of Ion? Riley asked is that what this is about? I said Riley nodded. I think you'll forgive me since it was an accident and you were under a spell you didn't mean to, so you should be forgiven, I said.

I'm not forcing you all to do anything I said it just be easier if you did but how do you enjoy church though not Riley not it did. I'm just worried I won't be forgiven for hurting Ash like I did. I think you will be and I don't know if they'll forgive me. I don't know if God would forgive Annalise either, I think so. I said if she's sorry it should be forgiven ask and you shall receive his forgiveness you shall receive forgiveness, I said.

I tried it around with different groups and went inside of ion about John himself and how to accept him I told him on Wednesday night we would have their own Bible study. I'll even pray for a miracle for Scarlet maybe that'll help people cheer.

I know everyone will have so many questions but I'm here for them when everyone was gone and I was getting ready for the ball Luther came in darling I threw my arms around him, so what do you think about what he asked the church service I said, what did you think?

parts of it I enjoy it very much. The preaching was interesting. He said in the singing in the fellowship, so I guess I liked it pretty much you've opened my eyes even more Lily I might reconsider. Do you think you think I made my decision, darling, if you change your age of accountability, I asked he nodded. I don't quite understand, but I guess not everyone does know I said not everyone understands even after you become a Christian sometimes you don't understand everything but that's the whole point is the whole point of the journey I said the journey is so that you can not so that you will but you will as well because you would want to and it'll be good for you

I won't have a Bible study on Wednesday so for all of us sounds good. He said I want a little alone time with you before the ball tonight I noted of course we sat in my room on my bed, his arm, resting around my shoulders. My head popped he instructed my hair you doing so much for us princess he said how can I compete with you? You don't need to compete with me I said hell how can I give you more?

I want to give you more I want to give you everything I know I said I know you want to give me everything but how can you know you need to get ready for tonight he said do you know what dress you're going to wear? I shook my head. No, I don't, I have no idea I said

whatever you pick though it'll be lovely. He said I'm sure it would be. I said whatever you pick will be good for you. Make me laugh princess I love it or are you teasing me now Lily I'll tease you all I want. I love it. It makes me laugh and feel normal he said and Kent I teased the one I love I not yes you can

oh it's not till later tonight I said I think about having Sunday supper dinner first lunch I said sounds good. He said they may have a fashion family dinner like we did the other day but different because it's Sunday and it's lunchtime or I could have thing something ordered in like one I'll see what we can do. I said I'll make sure I have plenty for everyone here that's going to cost you a lot of money he said if you get on Rich I knew that he said.

and I'll order something good I said I think I got something that's big that everyone can enjoy maybe two or three of I said what are you thinking KFC Kentucky fried chicken I said really yes we never had that before. No well, you're in for a treat then I said I'm going to order at least a lot of them because I know a C, and I said who eats all of it. None of us will get any.

besides, we'll have a big feast later tonight at the bar so I was thinking of just ordering something simple like that and you all get to get a lot of human food I think it would be nice for y'all to try it and I'll save y'all from cooking all right then sounds good to me he said and it sounds simple it is

I know Ash wanted McDonald's though. What do you McDonald's another day? I said I won't be able to order enough food from there. I will order McDonald's one day I promise. We laughed at our promise. Why don't you come with me do you know your way around this town with me better than anyone else I don't remember if we ever went that direction we didn't I said, but I think it'll be fun says most of the town know you somewhat, I didn't introduce you to everyone but I do know that most people know you miss seen us walk together and then before the bonfire we get ready? I was thinking after dinner we could go to you and just the two of us to the park.

that sounds like fun. I'd love to go to the park after dinner he said then we come back and get ready, yes and then I'll get the dance with you. He smiled. Sounds great or anyone else from town is there I'm thinking about inviting some of my friends from town but I don't think they have formalwear if they do they'll probably think it's like prom and then probably go and get stuff like that evening dresses, of course, we kept walking down the street people wear the dress as we walked meeting this afternoon. Good afternoon and everything Tim recognizes us from church and some recognize us from the last time we walked the town when we first came when he came here.

wherever we decide to live outside of this place, I'm gonna miss my friends. I said I wanted to miss them too. I made good friends with some of them as well he said, and I never had friends in a town like this in a quarantined town like this are not controlled by some I mean we are, but we're not if that makes sense, you know it's you're not controlled by an evil empire yes, that's exactly right we have somewhat more freedom and we're not gated in. I mean we are but the walls are way far away. It's not claustrophobic like the quarantine zones were in Alencia and we live in a bigger community then we than you did with restaurants and everything, and the reason like I said the reason we're like this is because of the because of sickness and the vaccines right because half the don't want to take it right they don't we went and waved at people as we walked some people got it how beautiful of a couple we were also had invitations to the ball in my pocket, so I handed them to people specially my Bestos closest friends I will get invitations to my wedding as well I said to them of course we wouldn't miss it.

we finally made it to the restaurant. I had my orders ready. I ordered a bunch of buckets and there's no way I could order one and it would be good or everyone would eat everything and there wouldn't be enough food in the standard bucket. I said of course we will get that for you, Miss Lily, is your mother paying my mother has passed on I said to the clerk oh who is this with you is my boyfriend, my fiancé, I said congratulations thank you I said I wish mother was able to spend this time with me in for this, but she's no longer with us so it's harder. Of course, it is.

how many of those buckets do you need Madame Lots I said I'm not sure exactly how many I need enough to feed a crowd, of course, would you like standard veggies as well mashed potatoes, and the good and all the good stuff and the biscuits or not? yes yes please that would be great too. I said Also I'd like an order of chicken livers for myself, of course, madden of course we will give you your chicken livers that you always order every time. What are those? I'll let you try one I said is it all yes thank you I took out my credit card and swiped it that's how you pay. Yes now we just have to wait for our order I said, are you gonna able to carry all that home? I should've brought more people with us but you're the only person I trust to walk through town with me. I said well I grow and get everyone at least a few people to carry them. Do you think you can trust people to carry food I said laughing, I'll run back and get as many people as I can right OK go ahead get as many as you can, and come back here back here. We're back here at this restaurant.

I waited at the restaurant waiting till I saw a group of people coming. It wasn't everyone that would be too many people to carry all those foods but it's 1813 and Miss Scarlet we came, and there was my mother, my mother, but my future mother-in-law and my future father-in-law as well coming to, we will help carry the food. Thank you very much I said to them I don't know what I do without all of you to help me carry all this we won't go to carry it ourselves. We have to make me 100s of trips I said laughing it smells good set a see what is chicken I said fried chicken it does smell really good Seth Scarlet I don't think we've ever had this before. Well, you're in for a treat. I ordered this because it was easier than trying to fix something else to eat since we're gonna have a big feast later tonight it almost sounds like a feast already. We're feeding everyone inside ion. We have to have this much food, I said.

surprisingly, we made it back without any food being eaten. We served it up. Everyone tried a little of everything. It was good. Everyone loved it. Human food is good. It doesn't surpass what we can have in Alencia, but this is great. I smile at the thought. I'm glad I could treat all of you I said to the whole crowd of people and I'm glad you all are enjoying this dinner

hey see you said don't like having a C said it's not like having breakfast for lunch but I enjoy it it's really good I guess that's what we'll be eating most of the time well no I said, but I wanted to treat you all to have something more human-like and it would be better than taking you all to the KFC restaurant to do that. They've had to shut the whole restaurant down just for all of us I said, and that would've been a lot harder to get everybody there I said.

maybe you won't have to take everyone he said Luther said looking at me what do you mean? Just take us me Ash the team I know it is Scarlet and Mom and Dad that would be too many. I told everyone else to get left out and not get left out today.

everyone said that I enjoyed their food. It was a very noisy meal, though people were talking and chatting about how their life is going to be different here in the human world, and how they're going to adjust to human world things, food, and cultures.

Luckily, there was plenty of food for everyone to have more than one serving. The vegetables were good too. They were different than what people would expect. They try to little everything. I smiled as everyone tried everything this was not like what I expected. Ash said it's fast food I said it's not McDonald's but it's a different one. I know you want to try fast food anyway is that what you call it it is I said we call it fast food because it's fixed fast and there are hundreds of fast food restaurants I said it's just one of the chains of restaurants. I said there are many others and I know you want to try a lot of them the food is different Ash admitted, it is so good yeah I said AC not breakfast but it's good. I'm glad we get to try something new.

I smiled. I'm glad you all are enjoying yourselves, and I'm glad everyone is enjoying themselves. Everyone at the table gave me a thumbs up everyone any tables gave me thumbs ups. It sound like everyone was enjoying this. It is good thank you. I'm glad you all are enjoying this.

I'm gonna teach all of you, earth, culture, human world culture I said holidays everything you need to know it'll help with everything and learning how to live here in the human world. I said learning about human culture and everything you need to know will be good for you you might be able to become human, at least in the way of living.

We threw away the boxes and everything when everyone was done we had any leftovers we put them away in the fridge but I don't think we had any leftovers left over there's enough food for everyone everyone got their fill, which is good. I'm glad I said now everyone can do what they need to do before the dance. I said you can chill or whatever or you can come with me to the park if not, then I'm going with her and I are going to the park and if you want to join us no one wants to go which was fine. We got to have a romantic time outside walking the park together is good then he said we could be alone. I'll be other people there, but yeah, I will be kind of alone I said.

I figured they'd be guards no guards I said no guards here most of us can walk around. Please walk around as we. There are police officers though, but they do their jobs but most people walk around as they please we live our own lives and it's not like everything is handed to us we have to buy in and you know all that stuff not things are free here. I figured that he said it was up for a walk in the park. That's the only free thing I want we Laughed.

I'm going to miss this place you can come back and visit your friends. He said oh no I know we can come back and visit them but I have nothing tiny here now my mother is gone and she would've gone with us anyway either way the house would've had to be sold.

it's going to feel weird selling things. I don't need to bed and set up a marketplace thing on Facebook though that would make things easier but this way I can sell things legacy people buy it.

Everything is sold off and I can see what gets sold and what doesn't what does Anel just giveaway? What are you not gonna sell well like I said all my mother's clothing that was too nice to be sold and all of our priceless chinaware oh my fancy kitty cups and plates and saucers and tea pots I said knows I'm not selling.

things that have the royal seal I'm not selling. I put those away in trunks like I did everything else I mean they mean so much to me and my family I have only been selling my mothers, ordinary clothing that's all I'm selling that's hers, and our furniture in our house I said is it I'll make a good amount of money selling that house. I've been living in it for the last few years.

he asked me are you keeping all your electronics? Yes, I am yes I'm keeping my iPad my iPhone, and my Apple Watch. I said I'm keeping all those things even though there's no more game I'm keeping them.

And with the money I have, I can get all of you the same products I know you need an upgrade to that laptop of yours I said I think an iPad would be better for you. If I had the money I'd get you an iMac I said I could get you one of those And a more advanced laptop would be the best for you. The model you have is so old I laughed. Sorry, I didn't mean to. It's fine for you to laugh at the model I have, and I am glad and grateful that you want to get me a more advanced model I smiled

and I'll get you all social media accounts all of you will get on everyone but a lot of you will get some devices I know I'll get devices for all of 1013 I said in Scarlet two in the masters slow down maybe not then but I know I want teen 13 to the young generation at least and you as I know that they would want to get anxiously get onto social media and see what it's like to be hilarious if they did a threat of especially the old players when they recognize the character recognize us and on it, they might and I'll probably think you're celebrities and to us, you aren't celebrities

sounds like you have a lot of plans for us. It is and I do and I'm excited about all the plans I have for all of you all of my new friends from Alysia and my new old friends here and new friends and I have a lot of friends on social media, who are dying to meet you, especially my friends on Discord I said oh really we don't have to become rulers I said we can leave my kingdom a mess we can find a new place for all of us to live. I mean I still wanted to feed the bogeyman obviously but we don't have to bring my kingdom back to life we don't have to sit on the throne.

we don't have to. I said we could find an abandonment and have an island and build our paradise to live in. We can start our little paradise it's just us not just you and I, but all the Ellen sans I don't think that's a good idea will be even more isolated, and not in agreement with what was I thinking and I'm not afraid of the responsibility I'm fine taking over is the ruler of your kingdom princess, he said you mean queen I said I am the queen I just have to be coronated as queen and you'll be my king consort, I said nothing he agreed I like that it be better any way I don't know how some of them would live like to live in isolation. The villains would more likely do that than us. I agree the villains would live more in isolation than we would.

it'll be probably fun to rebuild your kingdom, clean up those bodies, and rebuild everything for you and I wouldn't mind rolling by your side he said, and everything you have planned for everyone to work out I want to ignite both lands, the nightmare and the treat dreams I said, destroying the bogeyman family all together and then installing a new family there that's not royal, but we neighbors with I am was good friends with some of the monsters they'd be great to take over

instead of a royal family, I might install them to be like sworn in an office you know elected as like mayor or something or a Prime Minister or something like that I said, why don't you do that for your dream room even though I don't want to even though it's fine I want to rule, but I don't know anyone that I can put in charge and it would be nice. I said maybe the royal family is overrated I said.

I might find some hidden people who are heading out that didn't die in the destruction. Maybe they might consider being the new Prime Minister I said, can you help me with that mission? Of course, I will help.

No, it's settled then no more royal family. I said we will have a Prime Minister that will be voted in by the people and it'll unite both lands but we have to do that after we destroy and kill Alex I said agreed and you can live a normal life. I will keep all my pretty dresses, though I said, I might want them for special occasions sounds good I like that idea because that's what we're gonna do.

we feel calm now that we have a plan in place OK?

let's carry it out not at this moment I said let us do some other things first like getting you guys saved for one and also course it's your choice to be saved or not I'm not gonna force you and also the engagement ball. He left the course and celebrated our engagement. He said, touching the ring on my on my finger.

we continued our walk, and when we were done, we returned we went back to the palace but ion back to my home, and I disappeared into my room. I had to pick out what we were wearing what I was wearing tonight picking it out wasn't easy work but I did, I went through my mother's dresses and I picked out one of my favorites and put it on. I looked beautiful. The phone was soon. Everyone was going to be there including my friends from town. I can't believe they were going to show up to this maybe they'll show up to my wedding message that this is the most important day of my life. The day the public announcement of our engagement will be announced.

One by one people started to arrive. I stood at the top of the staircase, looking down at the grand ballroom on my name was announced. I walked down the dress I paid for. It was a purple and violet number of purple violet the blue color, I wore shoes that matched what I wanted to down the stairs and I wore my tiara on my head and my engagement ring on my finger. Food was laid out on various tables. I'm surprised people are hungry after eating all that Kentucky fried chicken but I guess I heard a lot of them did some exercise so that's good we waited a long time for the ball to begin so that helped people.

before we started dancing, there was eating and good times congratulations, and everything going around. I found my beloved, standing and waiting for me at the foot of the stairs, as it came down this weeping staircase.

We danced walls across the floor, his arm around my waist. Hell if you never danced before I said it feels like you've been doing it forever. You're graceful thank you he said, but I think it's because of you. I doubt it I said, but thanks you're welcome.

Everyone had a great time at the dance and at the ball at the engagement dance ball that I was having the party was amazing. The food was amazing again we had a mixture of Valencia and human foods. I felt comfortable as I danced around the floor with my love.

The evening was a success. No evil showed up no ambushing. It was like any other ball and any other romantic magical fairytale story I got to dance with my prince he looked down at me with those Fila ties and kissed me with such tenderness I am officially engaged to you. He said Alex can't bother you anymore. I smile at the thought, no Alex to bother me gonna be too good to be true. Hey, leave me alone from now on I only get hope and dreams and it could be so.

is the most beautiful woman here he said I blushed a smiled too. I'm glad you think so I know so you make me feel welcome here in a new world. I'm glad I can make you feel that way I said as we wanted to dance across the dance floor, I love you Lily I love you too loser whether I kissed him again he kissed me back everyone side and cheered as we danced. It was amazing. We found alive as we danced in the loft across the dance floor. We stopped for refreshments and drinks, some water and punch, and other things that were there.

it was the best party ever we wanted all the way around until it was over. I cleaned up the refreshments and told everyone it was time to go. Great party. Do you want upstairs to her to my room?

You were alone away from everyone. I set on my bed and took off my shoes. It was way after midnight, but I didn't turn into a girl with rags. You'll never be that ugly he said, even if you did wear maid clothing, you'll still be beautiful, he said do you think so I asked yes I think you'll always be pretty as mild, knowing that I'll always be pretty thank you what's the dance over? No yes, but no I want to be alone with you for a bit. He said leaving in a close inside sparkle. Does he melt into me his lips found mine again, I want to make out with you for a bit. He said I want to feel yourself let yourself skin your body Iran his fingers into my hair lingered on my lips for a moment and then just them hard. You kissed me a lot at the dance I said not this way, and he said, I love you Lily and I wanted to show you. I wanted to be alone with you for a moment over at the park. I mean in your room alone I love you very much.

we made out for several hours and then back onto the bed as he touched me and yes, my angel gave to me I can't wait for the night. We're I'll be doing this more than just us I want is aching for you Lily, my beautiful flower, my beautiful counterpart in my arms right now, I can't believe this. I got closer heart pounding harder.

but I must resist I must go now kissing me one more time. Good night love you gave me one Lonlas the night kiss and left the room. I'll be seeing him in the eye knew that much, I changed and went to bed. It was a long day. Of course, it was. I wish Mother was here to see it. The dance was a new success. Everyone Alessia was here that was saved from being killed plus my friends from the town I was happy, for once, I didn't have to worry about evil lurking around the shadows

and the bogeyman can't get inside the house inside of ion and for once I'm glad that even if he did look for me, he wouldn't have been able to find me here inside here. It's not an ion's protective walls.

as I went to sleep, I realized how wonderful my life was safe and warm downside a new place safe and warm with my love even though my mother was gone I was fine I knew she moved to heaven and I'd be joining her soon. She was happy that I got to be with my true love, her work was done.

this is the end of this chapter tell me more don't worry I know it's a complete end, but not a complete end of the story 1st/end of this chapter. I might take a break from the story and ride on my others for a bit, so I can get more creative juices going for the next few chapters and also give you more to read all right you thank you very much.
