Rose suddenly jolted awake as Queen Shadow grabbed her.

She looked around her room.
She stretched her fully grown wings and pulled her hair out of her face. That was seven years ago.

It was all a dream.

Well, more like a flashback dream. She remembered the real feeling.

David had saved them and got them out in time, though.

A knock on the door. "Who is it?" she said sleepily.

"David. Get ready for the coronation, Princess."

David. She smiled hearing his voice. "Alright" she said and got out of bed.

Recently, Thorn had passed, and Rose was supposed to attend her older sister, Mary's, coronation. Her younger sister, Strida, was supposed to come as well, and everyone who knew Strida, which was a lot of people, knew she hated dressing up.

Rose soon got ready and peeked her head out to see David and another guard... Oh.. What was his name again? Standing outside her door waiting.

"Why are you still here?" Rose commanded as she folded her wings tightly awaiting their answer.

"Queen Mary ordered is to assist you to the coronation"

Rose growled. Her and Mary never got along. Mary was mommy's little girl, and Thorn basically favoured Mary. Thorn said that her father would have favoured Rose, but... He disappeared when Rose was little. Thorn was always commenting on how Rose looked just like her father, her bright orange-red hair and her bright green eyes were all from her father, and whenever Rose asked where her father could be, Mary just sighed, shook her head, and say with a slight sneer "You'll find out soon enough, besides, why do you care?" as though she was pitying Rose. Oh, and they weren't even full sister's, same Moyer different fathers, so Rose would always retort with, "I care because I actually care about my father who is family. Maybe you could learn to do the same!"
That argument still happened whenever Rose brought up the subject.

Rose growled. "Queen Mary? Don't call her that. She isn't queen yet.." Rose twitched her wings and ordered them off, which they listened.

Rose decided to sit outside for a bit before she had to go to the coronation.
She sat on a ledge that she always sat on and looked out into the sky. She was taken by surprise when a figure suddenly crashed into her. "Whoops!" that was a female voice. "Sorry there!" Rose blinked her eyes with a groan, and once her vision cleared, she saw a girl with short blonde hair and huge blue-tipped wings. She had a bright smile. "I'm Cleo!" she held out her hand.

"......" Rose shook her hand. "Rose.... Hey.. Why do you have wings? Your not any royalty I know of.." Rose was confused

"Oh. About that.... I never knew my mother, but I heard she was royalty... So... Yeah." Cleo rubbed the back of her neck.

"Royalty? Did she happen to have Brown hair and purple tipped wings?" Rose asked.

As the words left her mouth, all the color drained from Cleo's face as she nodded slowly.

Rose shook her head quickly to shake the thoughts that built up in her head. "Are you going to coronation?" she asked Cleo.
Cleo shrugged. "Depends.."

"Depends?"

"On whether I'm invited"

"Werent you invited?"

"No.."

"Why?"

The next thing Cleo said confused Rose;
"Because your family knows I can't be trusted"

Heyo everybody! That while dream thing was the idea of my good friend Cata! She's a smart lil cookie! And sorry this is so short and not good as usual, it's a filler chapter.. So.. Yeah... Thanks for reading!
