Chapter Nine
Edited by: thirtxn
A blast of light blinded me, and I had to shield my eyes as I tried to focus on what was in front of me - Justin. He was wearing a suit made of sun and light. Slowly, rain started drizzle down. All the inky blackness of Justin's hair faded away to bright, golden blonde. He flashed me a smile and took a step closer to me. A sun shaped badge was pinned to his suit. I touched the pin and a tiny drop of blood appeared, but instead of red it was yellow. The mystery blood trickled down my wrist and made the outline of a sun on my palm. I looked at in horror, my eyes returning to Justin's.
"You'll always be ours," he hissed. Then he was swept away in a tornado of dust.
Pounding filled my chest. Like the last strange dream I had, I was gasping for air. Slowly I looked down and let out a loud yelp. The sun shaped symbol was embedded into my hand like the star one. I looked at the star that was slowly losing its glow. I heard a knock on the door and, "Princess Skyler? Are you ok?" It was Hope.
"Come in," I stuttered. Hope came rushing in.
"What's the matter, hon?"
"This," I said, holding up my left hand. Hope and gasped and pulled me out of bed, not even bothering to get me ready.
"We need to get you to the Healer," Hope whispered.
"Why?" I asked nervously.
"He'll explain everything. But we have to hurry."
"Why?" I asked again, groggily. My brain was starting to shut down. My legs felt like jello as they gave out from under me. I felt Hope's arms as she caught me and I blacked out once again.

I woke up with a pounding headache and tired eyes. The Healer and Justin were staring down at me. I stared at Justin with cold eyes and for a second, I thought I saw him smirk. But that thought was pushed away as he held my hand and said in and soothing voice, "are you ok? What happened?"
The Healer took the lead on his question. "That sun on her hand is from the Day kingdom. It represents royalty just like our moon represents royalty."
"Why do I have a star on my hand, then?" I asked.
"Princesses and Princes have that until they become king or queen. Then it changes to a moon. That sun on your hand had something in it to knock you out."
"It might have been an attempt to kidnap you," Justin said.
"Why would you say that?" I asked.
"Because we found this pin on your balcony," he explained, holding up the exact pin from my dream.
"Get that thing away from me!" I screamed. "That's the pin that gave me this sun."
"Ok, ok!" Justin exclaimed.
"I knew it! I knew she had the power of dreams," The Healer shouted. Both me and Justin has confused looks glued to our faces, so The Healer explained. "Whenever Princess Skyler has a dream, it's a sign or it means something is going to happen that relates to the dream. It stands for something. It's a rare power to get. Even in the line of royalty."
"We need to get this sun off me then. In my dream he said, 'you'll always be ours'. That means the Day kingdom is trying to take me back." I explained frantically.
"Who said that?"
"You!" I shouted, pointing at Justin.
"Me? Obviously the stuff in that star is getting to her again. Just lie down and we'll take care of everything," Justin said, assuring me. I laid back in bed as The Healer and Justin walked out of the room. I stuffed the covers in my mouth to keep myself from screaming. Twilight was right. Justin was from the Day kingdom. I had to talk to Twilight. Justin would just deny it and nobody else would believe me.
I started to get up but the drugs from the sun were pulling me into a dark slumber. I'd have to talk to Twilight later because this stupid sun was stopping me. I fell back against the pillows and blacked out again.
