"What do you mean by Chaos?" Auburn asked scared.
She had thought that this was just going to be simply her impersonating a girl that barely existed.
But now here she was, in the middle of both murder and sudden chaos.
But her greed had gotten the best of her and she moreover she had already made it here.
There was going to be no stopping her now.
"The one who would become the next crowned King or Queen usually wears the emerald necklace. It was a gift from the goddess herself." Cherry said. "It is also a curse. During her creation, she didn’t just make wolves she made monsters too. To seal the monsters off and protect us, she created the emerald. You can only hand the emerald in very rare instances. Usually when an heir has been born."
"Scarlett your fake mother had it when she drowned. It would be a signifying story that you are truly her grand daughter, because your mother gave you when she was dying after child birth. And you have never taken it ever since."
Auburn fingered the emerald necklace that now hung well over her chest.
It glistened.
"What happens when I take it off?" Auburn asked.
"You would never take it over." Cherry warned. "Well.... Assuming this were the real one, then chaos would unleash. Monsters would start to spring up from the ground."
Auburn’s face was terrified and Cherry laughed aloud.
"But this isn’t the real one." Cherry said. "If it were then you would be dead if you tried taking it off."
"What if Queen Rose takes it off?" Auburn asked.
"She won’t. Because she knows it herself. And even if she attempts to, then you would stop her because you were told that bad things would happen to you if you ever tried to." Cherry said. "That would make her believe you more."
Auburn nodded and for a while the ride was quiet.
"What happened to the real Scarlet?" Auburn asked.
"I drowned her." Coral said bluntly.
Auburn became tight lipped and turned to face the window.
The silence continued until they came to a halt.
"Get down." Cherry instructed.
Auburn did as she was told and then very gently came down from the carriage.
Auburn looked around and saw it was an old abandoned cabin.
"This is a town very close to the Royal Wolf castle." Cherry educated her. "You will stay here for three days and on the fourth you would come to the royal castle."
"Why so long?" Auburn asked as she shivered.
"Because if you came today then my brother in law would smell something amiss." Cherry said. "Stay here and make sure you don’t leave until that fourth. There are clothes for you to wear and a good to conceal your identity as you travel. Remember what I told you? Find your way to the gates and inform them who you are. The rest would be handled."
The driver shut the door and went back to his seat.
"Do not fail me." Cherry said as a very strict and straightforward warning.
And with that the carriage resumed its journey.
Auburn watched them go until they were out of eyesight.
She began to worry that perhaps she had made a mistake.
But when she remembered about Candy’s body she trembled.
Then she remembered everything she had been promised.
The good things she was going to have.
She smiled to herself and became filled with excitement.
She was going to make Cherry so proud that Cherry would always want her around.
Auburn, Princess of the entire Wolf world.
