-Snow's pov-
'Ah, how troublesome. Even though I don't know if they'll still go ahead with the assassination at this party, it still puts me on edge.' I thought while Sierra was brushing my hair.
"Lady Snow? What are you thinking about so deeply?" I was snapped out of my trance and answered calmly.
"Nothing much, just thinking. I don't think just 'killing' those who dare go against me would suffice," Sierra's eyes went wide then nodded in agreement.
'Hm? Strange. I was looking for a different reaction' she definitely looked scarier than I looked just a little while ago.
"Yes, lady Snow. They must be punished in a more severe, and painful way,"
'Never will I try and cross Sierra'
Then I heard knocking on my door.
"Big sister?" Sierra brushes through a knot in my wavy beach curls and yelped in pain.
"I apologize, lady Snow,"
"Never mind just open the door please," I said as I patted the knot. Then she nods and opened the door.
"Big sister?" Dean poked his head into my room and then entered fully.
"What is it, Dean? Shouldn't you be in bed right now?" I tilt my head.
"Could I possibly sleep here tonight?" he asks cutely and very embarrassed.
'His cuteness will be the death of me' I thought and At the same time, I thought that a smothering dark feeling filled the room.
"Oh? What's wrong? Do you not like your room?" it felt really uncomfortable.
'I would say yes if this wasn't improper in this time period. And because I don't think this uncomfortable feeling will leave if I say yes'
"N-no it's not that it's just... I can't sleep"
'Awww he's so adorable!'
"I'm sorry but can't let you sleep here," he looked at me with teary eyes.
Then the smothering feeling went away.
'Please don't look at me like that'
"But. How about this, I'll go with you to your room and I'll stay there until you fall asleep, how's that?" he looks at me bright-eyed.
"Yes! Thank you big sister!" he jumped in joy and hugged me.
-------------------
While Sierra is silently swearing and cursing at the young prince who stuck his tongue out at her.
'stupid wolf' thought Sierra.
'stupid maid' thought Dean.
When the three arrived at Dean's room, Dean jumped on the bed and gestured for Snow to lay down next to him.
While Sierra was standing near the doorway.
-------------------
I curl up next to Dean and hug him while he snuggles in closer. I stroke his hair a bit.
'Snow must have loved you very much. But she probably didn't know how to show it. But you saw that, you were the one who took her side and grieved for Snow right? Snow was cold and stubborn, but she was also very strong. Those endings showed her as vain, selfish, and crazy. I was outraged when I finished my first route and discovered what they did to Snow'
I sang the lullaby my mom always sang to me when she was still alive.
After I sang the lullaby he instantly fell asleep.
I gently lay him down on his pillow, fixed his blanket then kissed his forehead goodnight.
"Goodnight, my dear brother," I walk to Sierra. She closes the door, and we head back to my room. She seemed to want to ask me something but didn't.
"Goodnight to you too, Sierra" I lay in bed and slowly drift to sleep.
"Goodnight, Lady Snow"
-------------------
When my eyes opened I was in a grey room with black and white floor tiles.
'No... Again? I need sleep not life-changing visions' I said while hitting my head on the tile floor.
Then I heard sobbing. The room was suddenly filled with things that weren't there before, like condolence wreaths, and a white table with a marble cremation jar, I couldn't see the picture of the person because of the reflection.
'Huh, I wonder who died... And... I don't think there are funarals like this in the world I'm currently in' I thought.
The sobbing came from a girl with golden blonde hair. When I looked closer her golden hair looked familiar.
"Alicia!" She sobbed. I cover my mouth in shock.
'Ana!' I thought in the realization that this was my funeral!
"Ana... It's okay-" Her brother Zachary put a hand on her shoulder and Anastasia slapped his hand off of her shoulder.
"No! No, Zach it's not okay! It's not okay and you know it!" She screamed.
"Miss Ellingsworth, please don't make a scene here," Ayden said. But his brown eyes had no emotion or color at all.
"Hey! You can't talk to my sister like that!" Zach said grabbing my brother by the collar.
"Enough! Ayden... Is... Right. As much as I hate to admit this, Alicia wouldn't want you guys to fight,"
'You say that Daniel, but you glare at him like you want to punch him' I laugh while.
"Ugh, you're just as fake as before, Daniel, no matter how hard you try I'm her brother, not you!" Ayden shouted I felt a sharp pain pierce my heart when he said that.
'Ouch, was Ayden always this jealous of Daniel?'
"Then why didn't you act like it when you had the chance!? I was there for her when she needed me! How about you?!" Daniel never liked Ayden.
I walked closer but the scene seemed to move away from me.
'I... Guess I can only watch...' I thought as I started to feel uneasy.
'Ha... Daniel... Ayden is still my brother and I love him... I'm pretty sure I made that clear...' I said aloud but no one seemed to hear me.
I knew that even long ago he tried to replace Ayden as best as he could and that's how they clashed.
"Hey! Daniel, didn't you just tell me to stop? Why do you get to start?!" Zach said trying to make a point but making it worse.
'Jeez Zach is just as brutish as before even at my funeral'
"Even here... Why can't the both of you just get along?! Ayden is Alicia's brother! Daniel, you know you can't replace him she's told you that. And, Ayden you weren't much of a brother to Alicia, so now that she's dead you try and play the "Good brother" that Alicia wanted so badly! Alicia may have forgiven you but seeing you now I... I Will never forgive you for what you did to her! Never!" then they all started talking all at once.
I watched awkwardly as a sharp sound started to hurt my ears. drop down to the floor covering my ears.
'I-It's too loud...' the ringing of their voices hurt my ears and it only grew louder.
Just then the door to the parlor opened. They all went silent as Hunter entered the room soaking wet from the rain carrying a bouquet of white lilies.
He walked slowly towards the table and fell to his knees.
"Alicia... Y-you said that you would wait for me... You said that you would greet me back home with your homemade cakes..."
I looked at him silently.
'You're back...'
"You said you would wait for me.... You promised me!" He screamed.
Ana tried to put her hand on Hunter's shoulder but slapped her hand away with a look in his eyes that didn't look like him.
"Don't touch me! I told you guys to take care of Alicia while I was gone, then this happens!" He screamed at Ana.
Ana was already shaken up but when Hunter screamed at her she was trying hard to hold back more tears until she couldn't stop crying.
"Hey, Hunter... I know you're mad but don't take it out on Ana..." This was the first time I heard Zach speak so quietly.
"'Mad'? You think I'm just 'Mad'?" He grabbed a ring from his pocket and threw it to the ground.
"She was my EVERYTHING and you think I'm just MAD?" He lunged at Zach but Daniel and Ayden stopped him before he could punch Zach.
"LET GO OF ME!"
"Not until you calm down, Hunter," said Ayden who was struggling to hold him.
I look at the chaos in front of me in despair. My father wasn't even there, everyone's fighting, Ana is crying, and I... Can't do anything about it... Right now I'm weak, useless, and can't even voice out my own opinion... Feels like I'm still there in that world. I can't. Do. Anything...
Just then I woke up.
"Ugh... Now there's a real nightmare... I can't take this anymore," I tie my hair up into a ponytail. And jumped out the window.
I land perfectly then suddenly I'm in what looked like clothes for a prince.
I turn around looking over the details of my new clothes.
"What is this?" Then I felt compelled to go to the forest like it was calling me.
I run into the forest in a daze, forgetting everything for a moment and feel the cold winds dry my tears, when I reached the clearing I decided to test out my new powers.
I concentrated hard summoning a dark sword.
'I've never held a sword before. But neither did I have magic'
I started with a few light swings, then it felt like I was dancing with the sword, then I accidentally hit the trees with a magic aura when I swung my sword then with one stronger swing I chopped the whole tree down.
It felt like a giant weight was lifted off of my shoulders so I summoned another weapon.
"Summoning rune: light bender boomerang!" a boomerang appear in my hand and when I threw it, It took down two trees and I caught it in the air.
I laughed a laugh filled with excitement and wonder.
"Again!"
"Summoning rune: woodland bow, elemental arrows!"
A wooden bow appeared in my hands and I shot five leaves that were falling from the tree perfectly, then exploded taking out the 5 trees.
"This is the best! But I could definitely do better,"
"Summoning rune: earth's stone hammer!" I jumped in the air with a big hammer in hand.
'BANG' the sound wave uprooted more than 15 trees.
"Ice cannons!" 'bang' 'bang' 'bang' mini cannons appeared around my arms like bracelets, taking out more than 21 going straight through each tree.
"Transformation: living whips!" I swung the two whips around in a circle and took out the nearest trees around me.
"Air twin blades!" I couldn't even keep count anymore.
I felt free and intoxicated with power, and adrenaline, forgetting all my problems at least for a while.
"Water shurikens!" 'whoosh' 'whoosh' 'whoosh'
"Fox fire: Scythe!" I swing it around and it was so sharp that all the trees around were gone.
I let the adrenaline get to me, I jump, twist planted the scythe into the ground, and say something unconsciously, which I may or may not regret. Probably not
"I summon thee elemental guardians: Ultimate summon!" a giant summoning circle appeared under me, and a giant beacon of light appeared with rainbow swirls around.
"Oh my... well that was subtle," I said sarcastically. When the light stopped in the middle of the new field I made, stood a beautiful crystal sakura tree, each leaf shining like a diamond.
"Uhh... So..." I was at a loss for words.
"Yeaaaah, back to bed I go," I said turning around to march straight back to my window and pretend nothing happened when I heard my name be called.
Nine balls of light came from the tree all of them a different color and swirled around me.
"Greetings master. We are at your service,"
"...Wait...What?"
