Chapter 319 - Neglected

"I don't remember ever seeing a key for this room; but then again, my parents had a lot of keys, Kyle."

"Who needs a key? Why haven't you just you know…..kicked it in? It is your house after all."

"I don't know what's on the other side. Might knock over something important."

"Your parents told you to stay out? That it?

......…..And you listened?"

"You're probably right. Nothing's in there. Let's just go down..."

*Berrrdingalingadingading*

"Aaaaagh."

"Ruby, you have a headache? What is it?'

"Just this stupid alarm clock that Jasmine planted in my room. Everytime it rings, my memories are triggered.

*Berrrdingalingadingading*

Aaaaagh!!! Turn it off, Kyle. Turn it off."

"What alarm clock? I hear nothing. Can you direct me to it?"

"The closer I get, the louder it becomes, and the more I remember."

"Remember what?"

".........The Battle."

"......With our parents?"

"Last time I ever saw them."

"What were they like, growing up?"

"We manag….ooo…ooooo.oooooo. That hurts."

"Come on. I'll carry you back downstairs to rest."

"Just wish these Nightmares would stop. I know it's not true and all with these 'what if's; but what do I know? What if I really did cause it all?"

"Ruby, these voices are just messing with your head. Just rest and I'll do my best to end this."

"How?"

"Don't you worry about that. Focus on closing your eyes."

"

Close our eyes?"

"Wouldn't want to ruin the surprise."

"If you say so. Just tell us when to open them."

*Knock, knock, knock*

"Who is it?"

"Here to see the King. Tell him I brought...….friends."

"One moment."

*Chi…cla…cla….click….derrrrcheedaaadeeecheeee.*

"Is that the sound of the Castle doors?"

"Just keep your eyes closed. We're almost there."

"Can I open them now?"

"Not yet............….and.........…..Now!!!"

"You call this a Kingdom?"

"It's......"

"Breathtaking."
