Not Again

"Huh, where am I?" Looking around, I was in a place full of beautiful butterflies and glittering water lakes. I was resting under a pretty willow tree with thousands of butterflies fluttering around me. Even green grass and lavender were surrounding me.

Looking at myself, I was wearing a sea-green silk suit. On top of it, a green-blue yellow feathers on a clock can be seen, I was looking like a peacock.

"Ahhh!!" I screamed from fear, because I had arrived in this weird place, 'huh? I could fly?' I tried to move and all the butterflies surrounding me started to fly along with me.

'Hehe, I am good at thi….wow', I tried to fly as fast as I could and the butterflies followed behind me everywhere.

On top of me was a sky, a sky made of glistening stars and Blue Moon. One minute later, glitters fell on me like rays.

It covered me, I was looking like a shining ball of light. Where am I, anyway? I thought.

*Thud!*

I returned to the ground, having multiple trees surrounding a fountain along with me. From a huge pretty fountain water was continuously pouring. The water wasn't looking like an ordinary one because it had a silver color.

"Hola", a voice resounded from my side and I retreated in shock, 'talking trees?' A thought appeared in my head.

Ignoring my shocked expression, the eldest tree talked in a hoarse voice: "Welcome to your world, your highness".

"My world?", I said with a confused face and continued, "but this is far from where I live."

"Your highness, This world belongs to you. You are the ruler of this world, no one else.", it said blankly, as if stating a fact.

'Hmmm!', frowning slightly, but before I could as anything, I felt something pulling me. Something was pulling me out of this world. Of course, I resisted it. I even tried to fight back to the force which was forcing me to leave this world.

But the elder tree spoke again, "Your highness don't resist it. Your brother needs you back in another world; let it go".

"No!" I said while gritting my teeth. I want to know what is going on here. Why would I appear here? What was that tree talking about?

"Your highness, your brother needs you. We will meet again, don't worry" the tree again said with urgency.

"Fine, humph", I let go, the tree which I held unconsciously. And the invisible force enveloped my body and started to drag my body out of this place.

*Swoosh!*

The wind made me close my eyes, due to the space fluctuation around me.

Due to the fluctuation in space, I was hurt or anything. On the contrary, It gave me a satisfying feeling. Feeling of being free of revenge, pressure, people, talks, and everything, a feeling, I never felt before.

I felt like a butterfly totally free of everything and enjoyed my surroundings.

"Arghh!!" After that, a sharp pain hit inside my body. I felt as my heart was tearing and splitting into two. It was unbearable.

*Dhak! Dhak!*

I felt like my heart was going to blast in the small pieces. After that, I forced myself to open my eyes.

I saw my surroundings which was normal like usual. The white ceiling, small bed, and like always two small chairs were placed in the room.

My brother, Alexander and Demonica were there. Demonica looked tired. Maybe, she used her magic, or she might have used some powerful spell on someone.

'Yes, I remembered now. I made them worry again', but looking at their faces, emotions, and the state in which both were, I will be stupid if I don't remember what happened.

Laying at my back, I faced them without showing any emotion. I did not know what to feel or do. I looked at my brother who smiled in return. I thought, 'this guy doesn't care at all, sigh'.

I looked at Demonica while she looked back towards me. She was looking like a demoness who was ready to kill everyone in her sight," Gulp"

I turned to look at my brother again, then tried to stand up but my knees gave up. I fell on the ground and screamed in pain, "Ouch!"

"Selena, be careful!"Alexander ran towards me and supported me by my hand.

Opening my palm at his face, indicating to him with a frown, ~stop from getting near to me~, I know, I am acting mean but he really deserves it.

I looked into his eyes directly and said with an angry expression, "Why should I listen to you when you don't listen to me."

"They were bullying you", he said with a face full of gentleness and continued,'I know he is angry as hell, but he never shows it'

"Yes, they were," staring at his eyes, "but are you forgetting that we are no longer in power".

"So what?", He said arrogantly and continued, "We are not in power does not mean they have the right to bully my sister."

'Aii…. this indifferent look, when he will learn that we are weak now', This behavior of his made me even angrier.

" I am going to become his wife, he has got enough power to treat me like that."

"WHAT?" A shocked look appeared on his face, there was frustration as well as anger on his face. I can't hide that from him, he is my brother after all. However, I will never let him know the reason behind this or he will feel guilty for everything.

Yes, I will never tell him the reason behind his release; I know he hates lies but I can't tell him this matter.

I want to curse myself for hiding the truth about my marriage, my heartaches but I don't have any other option. I met my beloved brother; after so long and the first thing I told him is that I am getting married to the son of the traitor.

His eyes showed pain, I really wanted to cry out all of my frustration, I tried to stand again, 'huh, finally, I can walk'.

I lost my balance and fell backward, I felt pain on my back and looked towards my brother who was standing like a statue. 'What has happened to him'.

I looked at my brother's sudden change but after a few seconds later, all the confusion disappeared, what remained on his face was calm, his expression became still as water. I thought 'Oh~No! he will kill him.'

"No brother, listen to me!", I was really scared, I can't let him go. He needs to understand it.

He looked at me and smiled brightly, "hehe, No, you will not stop me this time."

After saying, he turned around and anger surfaced on his face.

I grabbed his leg tightly and didn't let go of him but using his earth power and my legs went inside the earth and I wasn't able to move.

I started sobbing, ' Why am I this weak! Why?'

After seeing the state I was in, Demonica came to me, to comfort. She patted my head, but I looked towards her and pleaded.

"Demonica, please, stop him!" I cried more, worry gripped my heart.

"Fine, I will stop him but when he returns calm him: this is an order." she looked at me with her deep eyes.'.

I looked at her and nodded "Alright, now please stop him"

*Whoosh!*, Demonica flew away from the room, the wind made my hair blow on my face.

I was left all alone. I looked towards the place where both disappeared but found nothing. I only hope Demonica would be able to stop him before he does something stupid.

After a few moments of self-pity and daydreaming, both of them returned. They were looking tired while their clothes were drowned in dirt and blood.

I stood up after using all of my strength; I looked towards them and walked toward Alexander. I really didn't know what should I say to him, so he could calm down.

"Ouch!"

My foot slipped and fell on him, clumsy me. He managed to hold in time and stabilized my body.

I tried to stand up but without knowing there was someone else who held me. This time Demonica held me and took me in her arms. After that, she took me to my bed. I tried to resist but she glared at me and shut my mouth. She suddenly looked as energetic as before, but she was very tired just a few seconds ago. I didn't understand what is going on and I did not try to ask any stupid question.

My brother stood in front of me and asked calmly, not showing any type of emotions, "Why did you do it?"

'I can't tell you, brother. I am sorry' what would I say, I used myself for your sake, how much guilt he will feel.

"WHY?" he shouted at me and I shivered from his shout. He never became angry at me like this, I can't imagine how much anger he was holding.

"WHY?" he again shouted. I remained silent but Demonica replied, instead of me:

"She did beco…." before she could finish, I interrupted her with a shout, "No Demonica!"

"He can't remain ignorant," looking at me, "not when you have sacrificed that much"

I don't care how much I sacrifice. I want him to be happy, "No, Demonica! don't tell him, please!" I looked at her and pleaded.

"No, I will," she replied to me and didn't even look at me.

"For goodness sake, speak already!" he shouted at her.

"No! don't!" I looked at her with my pleading eyes, trying to stop her.

He frowned when he heard my shout and he stared straight into my eyes before saying "Sister, I swear to kill everyone if you don't tell me."

"No, you won't ." I looked straight at him as well.

"She did that to get you out of dungeons" a voice entered in his ear like a thunder.

"WHAT?"' a shocked expression appeared and his body trembled in anger.

"Yes, she did….." And with that Demonica told every detail to Alexander, with every word he trembled in furry, even though he was sitting calmly, I knew it was the silence before the tsunami.

A cruel light flashed in his eye before he said, "I will destroy this whole kingdom!" He was ready to take flight again, but I held his hand, "Alex listen to me please."

"No, Selena. Why did you do it?" he asked with pained expression.,

"Nothing is more important to me than you," I answered him honestly, without some superflows words but the words were from my heart. Before he could say anything else, a fairy entered in a hurry and bumped into Demonica.

"Why are you here?"Alexander stared coldly while Demoniva asked calmly, but he trampled in fear. I am sure he must be thinking: ' Two demons, I bumped into two demons'.

He calmed himself down and he stated, " The King, his majesty, asked for the presence of Alexander, Selena and yours as well."
