Inside of me I felt hate for the Night people, but it was like there was a wall between the two sides of me. I just wanted to scream and let my parents and Twilight know that I was still there. But I couldn't. The Day part of me laughed. "Are we going to get rid of them now? Because I can take care of that." I smiled devilishly as my hands started to glow. The Night part of me wanted to stop myself - yo say 'No! Don't do it.'

The Day part of me took a step forward, ready to destroy my parents. Jessica pushed my hands down. "I have a better idea of how to dispose of them." A couple whispers in my ear later, and the Day part of me smiled at the idea, but the real part wanted to cry until the world flooded. There was no way to stop her

now. My family was going to die and I would be stuck like this forever.

Six Day guards lifted my parents and Twilight onto a large, standing target. In front of them was an area big enough for the entire Day Kingdom to stand. A public killing was what Jessica had in mind. "Destiny! Go and get ready!" Jessica shouted to me.

I followed a maid to a room and started to get ready. She put me into a cream colored dress with a large train and curled my hair into the smallest ringlets. The real me cringed, I didn't want any of this. I wanted to get out and stop Jessica.

A knock on my door made me spin round, and the Day me smiled. It was Justin. "So I see mom finally got you. Poor, poor Skyler." He smiled.

"Pretty great, right?" I responded. "And now we get to watch the Night Kingdom King, Queen and Princess die!" The real me mentally screamed. I was giving into Justin. The guy that tricked me and almost killed my niece.

"Shall we?" He asked, holding his arm out. No, no, no! I thought. Don't do it!

"Of course!" I said taking his arm and heading towards the courtyard.

"Attention everyone!" Jessica announced. "You can now know this lovely lady standing next to you as your new princess!" I smiled and took the microphone from her. Everyone started to clap and cheer.

"Thank you everyone! I am honored to be your new princess!" No I'm not! I screamed inside. I continued to talk. "Today you will be witnessing..." I trailed off as someone special to the real me walked into the courtyard.

"Skyler? Is that you?" Brandon asked.

"Brandon!" the real me broke through. Everyone gasped. But the Day me took over immediately. "I don't know who you are!"

"Yes you do! I'm Brandon. The guy who you helped escape prison! Please remember." I wanted to break through again. I struggled. The Day me fought back.

"No! I don't!" I finally got through. "Brandon! Keep talking." I got pulled under again. He smiled.

"We went on a date together. Remember?" The Day me shook my head. "The waiter had a huge mustache. We talked about almost everything." The real me broke through again. I laughed.

"Of course I remember. It was one of the best days of my life." I tried to continue talking. "I loved that day. It was my first date, and you made it magical. I still don't get why, we had only just met." Brandon blushed.

"Because the moment I saw you, I fell in love. And I still am. I-I love you, Skyler."

And that was it. That was the thing that I needed.

The real me broke through and I transformed back to my real self. A tear of joy slid down my cheek. I was back, my family was safe and Brandon liked me. Not liked me, loved me. Jessica started to scream. "No, no, no! This can't happen!"

"Oh, but it can!" I exclaimed. I was fed up with her. This was the moment where I was getting rid of her, for good.

Every ounce of anger boiled through me like a volcano and I lost it. Balls of fire sprouted from my hands and I flung them at her. Each one hit her face. She cried out in pain. I twirled my finger around and a rope started wrapping around her feet, causing her to fall and smash her head against the floor. I could see blood starting to spill. She was through. To finish her off, I summoned every ounce of power I had left and fired it at her. The power hit her hard against the wall and I watched as the life drained out of her eyes. Her head slid forward and her body fell to the floor - lifeless and gone. I couldn't believe what I had just done. I had just killed someone. It was wrong. I shouldn't have done it. No! I silently scolded myself. It was for your own good. Everyone was safe.

I looked down at Brandon. He looked up at me and started rushing up. Before he got up I freed my parents and sister from the target and let them float slowly to the ground. Brandon finally got up and picked me up and spun me around. "You're ok! I thought you were gone."

"Well, I'm not," I said, biting back tears of joy. Jessica was gone. Really gone. We didn't need to deal with her any longer. My people would be safe and so would hers. We could finally live in peace, and I could be with Brandon. I could finally live the life I wanted, and that was all I ever wanted from the beginning.
