Chapter 12: A Fear Within

Grass...for miles it continued. The wind blew across my face calming me down and behind me stood a castle while it definitely wasn't Mewni the familiar surrounding area said otherwise. I didn't know where i was or how i got here but i was pulled towards a bright light coming from an object on the grass on top of the hill. It glowed a bright grayish blue and reminded me of someone...but who. I walked up the hill, as i made my way up there felt a sharp pain in my head. Soon i was seeing things...people walk past me, i couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream; whatever it was i was determined to get to the glowing object. I saw my mom walk past then Tom, Janna, Jackie,...my dad. All people i knew from family to friends until i finally reached it. It was...a wand but nothing that I've seen before the design of it was peaceful...but had its own monster and human touch to it. It was indescribable the edges and curves to it told a story. I reached down to grab it but as soon as i was inches from it the wand flung away from me. I jerked my head towards its direction and saw a hooded man looking down. I couldn't see his face but he had a red hoodie and black jeans...not usually the choice for knight armor. He turned my body toward him feeling much tension between us...like we've had a history together whether that be as enemies...or friends. He looked at me and took off his hoodie revealing his face...and the purple veins that engulfed his arms and up to his neck. He pulled out the wand as t transformed into the opposite of what it was before. Now it was black with streaks of red and purple running across it and the handle covered in purple lines. Just looking at it gave me the chills; i could feel the emptiness, the hatred...the fear within that wand. I looked at his eyes, a sudden wave of memories rushed through my head like a flood. All about the man in front of me...Marco. I looked at him, he squeezed the wand and i realized my surroundings had changed. The grass was dead the sky turned into a red crimson color as the smell of death and fear filled the air. There was destruction everywhere; bodies, fallen buildings, and the swords sticking up from the ground with blood covered on it. I looked around my fear rising...'what had become of my home'. I looked at Marco tears welling up in my eyes.

"WHYYYYYY!" He looked at me emotionless. He took a step sending wave of fear toward my heart and looked at the wand

"She...she told me to...I've become...what i must...FOR MY HOME...FOR MY PEOPLE!"

"WHAT ABOUT ME!...what about us...please Marco stop...its not you, its whatever she made you to be" My heart was filled with fear, my knees trembling and head pounding i tried to walk toward Marco taking small steps.

"This...is my empire my home and NO ONE is going to take that away from me...even you" He pointed the wand at me his eyes now a shade of purple. I stood still hoping he would change his mind.

"Marco please just...come back to me, i need you" i cried my voce cracking through out those words. Again...his emotion unchanged...unfeeling. He closed his eyes and murmured something to himself. A sudden light shot up in the sky and stayed there for what seemed like gathering energy.

"Good bye Star..." I looked at Marco than to the light now shaped like an eclipsed moon shooting towards me. I closed my eyes waiting for the light to engulf me...to end me...nothing...but emptiness...silence. I opened my eyes to see my...bed celling. I looked around and saw my room the same i left it after i went to bed. My headache went away and i got up rubbing my head.

*Knock, Knock* I heard knocking on the door and a voice.

"Hey star you up?" Marco's voice. I felt relieved to hear his voice again. I walked up to the door but collapsed...i couldn't feel my legs or my feet.

"Star! you ok!" Marco yelled trying to open the door before he rammed it open ad found me on the ground and for a split second...i saw his eyes turn from his chocolate brown to a disturbing shade of...purple reminding me of the dream...or vison whatever it was. And next to him in his hand i saw my wand...or the wand i saw in the dream...the peaceful one that shined gray. He ran towards me helping me up.

"Are you ok? What happened?" He was in a panic but the only word i could muster out was.

"Wand" He looked at the wand

"Oh yeah your wand kinda just flew at me and was shaking alot...so i tried to fix it by showing moon but once it transformed into this...it stopped." I sighed in relief glad he didn't just take it, but it also made me worry...since the wand is an extension of your memories and emotions...was the wand transforming into that the cause of my nightmare...i could only guess for now until i spoke to him about it later.

"Now answer me...are you ok?" Marco said leading me to the bed.

"Yeah I'm...ok" Marco glared at me

"Star i know you're not ok"

"So why ask the question?" Marco smiled

"You got me there" He layed me down on the bed and covered me

"What are you doing we need to go" Marco looked at me confused and pointed outside

"Go where, its like 2 in the morning" I looked outside and saw the moons, the darkness of the night sky. I sighed and looked at Marco.

"So why were you UP at 2 in the morning?" Marco was visibly nervous

"I...couldn't sleep" I knew that wasn't the answer but seeing as how i didn't tell him what was wrong with me its only fair i don't force him to tell me whats wrong.

"Ok...well you can sleep with me come on ill make sure your fast asleep" Marco chuckled

"What about you princess?"

"Just you being here helps me sleep...it'd be better if we both helped each other" Marco smiled

"Ok star you win but you snore like your dad so don't be surprised if you wake up with duck tape on your mouth" we both laughed as he climbed in bed. I gave him a kiss as he held me around my waist relaxing me 100 times more. Marco kissed my neck and cheek before saying

"Goodnight star" I smiled and kissed him back

"Goodnight Marco" I held his hand as his arms held me tight almost as if i were going to leave him. But i was to tired to worry and fell asleep fast knowing he was watching me...protecting me.
