Mewni Castle

Chapter 2: A dangerous Hope

I didn't know what to think at first. I've never heard of a Civil War before, all i know is that its a war against our people and I'm against that its not what dad what've wanted.

"Star!" I heard my name called and i walked over to my mom

"Yes Mom?" She got up from her throne

"You've been in your room all day, you ok sweetie?" she put her hand on my shoulder, i know she meant well but i honestly didn't want to tell her.

"Mom why are we in a Civil War" Her went blank and she walked back to her throne.

"Star, ever since Marco was banned from Mewni the people grew sick of the wars we've caused" she looked down while saying it and made me miss dad even more, he would've always kept high spirits around the castle during the worst of times and that's something that we need right now.

"Mom what do we do?" She got up and walked to the balcony.

"For now we defend ourselves, stay in the castle and never leave" Mom's voice was strict, i knew she meant what she said with every ounce of her blood, but i knew she was talking about me.

"And you?"

"I have work to do" she started walking to her room and looked at me before entering.

"Please star listen to me, i don't want to lose you too" She closed the door and i was alone. I looked up and saw a picture of me and dad smiling holding a head of a scarch. Somedays i woke up and just couldn't believe he is really gone, i like to think he's still alive just in a different form or a new born baby or maybe...just maybe he some how lived, but at the back of my head i knew he was gone i just couldn't accept. I walked over to my and just sat there. I thought of calling Marco but i hadn't called him in a while and I'm sure he was doing other things now that summer started. I grew aggravated over time, i couldn't just sit and let this war go on like its nothing. I walked over to the balcony and looked over Mewni. It was a shadow of its former state. Everything just fell apart after the whole Marco and Eclipsa incident. I had thought once it was over it would go back to normal. I heard fighting and screams from the streets and i couldn't bare the sound of it. I walked away and just explored the castle since i don't have Magic training today. I saw Rhombulus walk out of his crystal room at the end of the hall.

"Hey Romby whatcha doin" He locked the door and walked down the hall

"Just doing my daily room check since Omni is out doing his work and I'm the last council member" I started walking with him

"Yeah I'm sorry, i know Heckapoo was like a mom to you" He stopped and looked down and grabbed Heckapoo's scissors from his pocket.

"Yeah, sadly the butterfly temple sunk now she's gone forever" I glared at him

"When did that happen?"

"Right after your friend defeated Eclipsa" No one ever told me the temple sank so i was naturally confused as to how.

"I guess" But i was curious about one thing

"But if Marco killed Eclipsa how come mom never found her body" Rhombulus looked down and turn his head at me.

"Because Marco didn't kill her, he defeated her"

"What do you mean?" I was confused as to what he meant when he said "he didn't kill he defeated her".

"Moon is gonna kill me for this" I glared at him

"For what?" He looked at the door

"Follow me" He lead me to the room and he open the door and there she was, incased in crystal in the same position in the same place.

"Sh-she's alive!?" I couldn't move i just felt a rush of fear fill my body head to toe. I kept looking at her and anger filled my body, she killed my dad, corrupted Marco and got him banned from Mewni, most importantly she ruined my family. I gripped my wand and walked toward her and decided to finish her off once and for all. Rhombulus grabbed my arm and glared at me.

"I understand anger and fear are overwhelming you right now but if you try to kill her you'll only break the crystal and free her again" I wanted to kill her out of anger and fear, but i realized the carnage she'd cause if she got out. I put my wand down and took deep breaths. Rhombulus let go and lead me out of the room.

"Sorry Romby i didn't know what came over me"

"Its ok star just go get some rest" I nodded and started walking to my room. I started getting more worried knowing that Eclipsa is still at large. I entered my room and decided to call Janna. I called her a couple days ago to check up on Marco and just talk. I always got scared when i though of calling Marco, no matter how many times Janna told me how much missed me and loves me, it just always made me afraid. I called up Janna and she picked faster than i expected.

"Hey star how are things in Mewni?" She said smiling

"Good how's summer going"

"it was gonna be fun until Marco bailed on me and Jackie for tom" I wasn't surprised tom told me how much they hung out and became almost brothers because of how close they were now.

"HAHA were did they go"

"I don't know, they never tell us where they go" I wanted to ask is she could come over, but i knew that wouldn't be right especially with all that's going on

"Yeah Marco was always big on secrets" Janna's smile disappeared and that's when i knew something was up.

"He's changed alot since he left Mewni, he's mostly depressed when me Janna or tom aren't around, he doesn't talk to anyone and sometimes he just goes missing for hours with telling anyone where he went" She never told him but she cares alot about Marco almost as much as me. Hearing her say this must mean he's really messed up.

"I'm sorry I'm not there Janna but i got my work cut out for me too"

"I know tom told us Mewni's going through a Civil War" Tom can never keep his mouth shut huh

"Don't tell me Marco knows!" Janna only gave me a sly brow look

"Who do think he told first" When i heard that i agreed to never tell tom diddly squat again

"How'd he take it" Janna shrugged

"I don't know wasn't there but Jackie knows"

"I don't want to talk to her, we didn't exactly leave on good terms after my mom banned marco from Mewni"

"Yeah now she's the only one he'll talk to after having his Mewni dreams" I became intrigued when she said Mewni dreams.

"A what dream"

"A Mewni dream, you know when he has a nightmare but it has to do with Mewni" I gasped

"He still has those?!" Janna nodded. I thought he got over those but i guess not

"Janna banana, i gotta go i'll call you tonight bye!" I waved as i hung up. I walked over to my bed and plopped down not knowing what to do. I started to get a call from tom and i quickly answered

"Tom! I'm never telling anything ever again"

"Ow star my ear" Tom groaned

"Good that's what you get for telling Marco about Mewni"

"i couldn't just not have told him star"

"Ugh where his he now"

"Right here" I heard his voice. I couldn't believe it...it was Marco. He appeared on the screen and smiled at me, he looked exactly the way i last saw him just taller

"MARCO! you have no idea how happy i am to see you" He smiled and laughed

"Star I'm so happy you're safe"

"Marco where are y-" I was cut off by an explosion from the phone. Marco and Tom looked at each other, then the phone dropped and showed Marco and Tom fighting monsters

"Where are you guys" Tom accidently kicked the phone sending it back a few feet. And in the background of the fighting...was the Mewni castle. The phone shut of and i lost connection.

"No no no no NO!" I yelled trying to call them back but failed. I plopped down on my bed a shocked at what i just saw. Mt mom busted through the door in her battle armor

"What happened star!?" I turned my head to her

"Mom... Marco is on Mewni" She was silent until she walked towards me and put her hand on my shoulder

"Ill bring him here, but you have to stay" I wanted to go but she seemed pretty serious so i didn't ask.

"I don't agree with his action, but if he's willing to come here at time like this, the best i can do is bring him here" I smiled

"But when i get back me and him are gonna have a talk" She said with a threating voice. She left the room leaving me to my thoughts. My mom didn't hate Marco, she just hates his decisions. But maybe he can help us deal with this, then i thought about it. Maybe Mewni's Greatest Traitor could be there only hope and just thinking about it gave me...hope.

Thanks for reading guys, hope you enjoy it. I might be making a poll on whether i should make a prequel based on the Red Suns so if you see it please vote so i know whether to start planning or not
