I would like to dedicate this chapter to my best friend @CelestialTurtle! She dedicated her chapter to me on my birthday and gave me a wonderful gift. She is absolutely fabulous and deserves more credit! Go and vote and follow her, she's awesome!

"What?" Hugo said,"What is it that you have been hiding all this time?" I tensed up, ready for action and pulled Ivy closer.

"As you know, the Queen of this small kingdom is named Rennalyn Ameril. Queen Ameril was my mother." Bubbles said,"My name is Estelle Ameril." She slowly turned into a younger version of the Queen from before. Hugo didn't show any emotion, but he turned and gave me a glance. I nodded. I knew something was off about this place.

"And what about it?" Hugo asked. Bubbles, or should I say Estelle, shook her head and sighed.

"Queen Ameril supposedly disappeared without a trace." Estelle said,"However, that is wrong." Hugo frowned. Ivy stepped up closer to Estelle.

"Then what happened?" she asked, still putting the pieces together. Estelle frowned, her eyes turning icy cold.

"She was murdered." she said with a sudden edge to her voice,"By a girl with silver hair with tips that were the color of flames." Estelle stared right into my eyes. They were filled with anger and revenge. Hugo stepped in front of me as if he was protecting his own daughter.

"So all this time, you were planning to lead us here? You befriended us and in the end you decide to betray us?" Hugo asked. Estelle laughed.

"Because of the murder of my mother, she left a curse within her people." Estelle said,"They can't even trust anyone anymore. This is all of what is left my kingdom. When exposed to moonlight they change into beasts. They can't even think straight when they transform, they become bloodthirsty creatures and start attacking family and friends. We don't allow travelers for their own safety."

"Then what about you?" Ivy asked,"Why do you not transform?"

"Because I have the blood of royalty that I am lucky enough not to change into such merciless creatures." Estelle said with a hint of sadness. She shook the sadness away and the rage took over,"The only way to lift this curse is to kill the source of why this all happened, and that happens to be you."

She stared at me and I stared back. Estelle held out her hand and a cloaked figure hurriedly walked up to her and revealed a long sword. They put the sword in Estelle's open hand and Estelle gripped it. I patted Hugo's arm and he moved aside. He respected my problems and he won't stop me since he believes in me so much. Ivy was hurt because of the loss of her friend so she stayed silent. It was now dark out and Estelle jumped up as soon as she saw the moon beginning to come into view.

"Get in your houses!" Estelle said. The crowd quickly dispersed at her command, but a clumsy figure tripped and fell face first on the ground.

Everyone else had disappeared into the safety of their homes and the fallen figure fumbled and tripped, trying to get away. The moon rose into the night sky and the light fell onto the figure. Estelle watched in shock as the silent clumsy figure screamed in pain. Its head pulled back and the cloak fell off of the figure revealing a little girl only a little younger than Ivy. We watched as the girl screamed as the moon light landed onto her. Her skin began to smoke and burn and she scratched at her face as it soon began to contort into a different shape. Her teeth grew sharper and crooked claws grew out of her fingers. Her skin still burned, but she stopped screaming. She stared at us, the look in her eyes were red and crazed. She charged towards the first person she laid her eyes on which was Ivy. Estelle stepped forward and her sword clashed with the claws of the beast.

"What are you doing?!" Ivy yelled,"Isn't she one of yours?" Estelle grimaced as she pushed against the beast.

"She's already gone." Estelle yelled back,"No matter how much I try to stop it, no matter how many times I try to save them. They can't return." Estelle forced the beast off and it fell backwards. Estelle raised her sword and beheaded the beast. The head cut off cleanly and rolled over far from the body. The blood sprayed and Estelle walked away, a look of guilt was swept across her face, but she returned to being angry. She pointed the tip of the bloody sword at me.

"Prepare yourself for battle, Scar!" she yelled with confidence. I widely smiled through my mask and I stared focusing all of my energy onto Estelle. Estelle began to get nervous, but she quickly regained her composure.

How interesting this little kitty has become.

"You know you don't have to do this, Scar." Hugo gave out his last warning and I shrugged it off.

She's right, even though she doesn't know the whole story of what happened.

Hugo nodded. I crossed my arm making an X with them. I clenched both of my hands into fists and like a magician, I magically made multiple daggers appear in my hands. I waved them like a fan and Estelle smirked.

"Daggers? Versus a sword?" she scoffed. I raised an eyebrow at her and she still smiled.

Usually the one who is over-confident loses first.

I flicked my hand and sent a dagger flying as a test. Estelle easily hit the dagger away. She then began charging at me and I charged at her. Estelle raised her sword and aimed for my neck. I bent backwards as the sword quickly changed its route and started to slice down. I did a backwards somersault and quickly got back up.

She has good reflexes and thinks quickly. I jumped upwards and flipped in the air. I grabbed onto Estelle's shoulders and she held her sword with one hand. She used her free one to try and grab one of my arms. I began to fall backwards pulling her down with me. She stumbled and fell onto her back with an 'oomph'.

Even if I go down, I'll bring someone with me in the process. I held her down, but she quickly lifted up her sword and swung it towards me. I used my foot and kicked the flat side of the sword. The force of my kick loosened her grip and the sword slid away from Estelle. She frowned at me as she tried to wriggle away.

"Don't think that I've lost yet." she said,"I can't afford to lose now." She raised her feet and kicked me square in the stomach. The kick was strong and it knocked the air out of me. It was my fault for not being on guard.

As the air rushed out of my lungs, I stumbled backwards, but still standing. I held my stomach with one hand and Estelle rushed to get back up. She turned and I saw she was aiming to get her sword back. I caught my breath again and threw a dagger towards her hand. It pierced her hand and she screamed. She turned to me, her eyes blazing. Estelle took the dagger out of her hand without hesitation and threw it to the ground. She grabbed her sword with her left hand. The right, the one I pierced, oozing with blood.

"Isn't it going to be hard for her to use the sword now?" Ivy asked. Estelle forced a smile.

"Not a problem." she said. The pain in her right hand was getting to her, so it would make it harder for her to fight. I shook my head and I turned to Hugo and nodded. He sighed and stepped closer.

"Estelle, you should stop before you hurt yourself even more." Hugo said. Estelle turned to Hugo.

"I'm fine!" she spat,"It's not your place to care about the enemy!" I shook my head again.

"Scar has something to say." Hugo said. Estelle frowned in confusion,"But for you to understand, you need to morph into Scar." Estelle hesitated then she nodded. She began to morph into me and she stood silently. I closed my eyes and concentrated.

*******

"Can you hear me?" I thought. Surrounding me was nothing but darkness, I waited and listened carefully.

"I can hear you." a voice said,"Who is this?" I smiled to myself.

"It's Scar." I said,"You must be surprised since this is the first time hearing my voice."

"Where am I?" the voice, Estelle, asked,"What are you doing?"

"I am showing you the truth." I answered. Estelle paused.

"Truth? What are you talking about?" she asked.

"You're mother, Estelle... Queen Ameril, is still alive." I said.
