Stellar and I approached the building. We stepped on the sidewalk before arriving at the entrance of the tower. The tower was large and was made up of purple and white concrete. It had windows that let you be unable to see through. The entrance looked sketchy too. Stellar and I wore janitor outfits and shades as we walked inside of the address. We walked inside to see the reception. The reception was in the same colour scheme. The anton at the reception wore a suit and had orange skin. He spoke to us when he saw us he was confused.
“Uh–” I said. Stellar put her hand in front of me.
“We are janitors.” says Stellar. “Your boss hired us to clean this dump. Speaking of your boss, we’d like to speak to him.”
“My boss?” he asks. “Sure. Just head to the elevator, third floor and first room to the left.
“Thank you.” I said. We walked inside of the elevator and hit the button to head to the third floor. We rose to the third floor and Stellar and I walked across the third floor and took the first left to walk inside of a room to see a man sitting there. He was confused.
“Who are you two?” he asks.
Stellar closed the door and we took our shades off to reveal our godly eyes.
“Oh.” he said. “Stellar and Proxima. The daughters of Queen Tuni.”
The man was a different alien species. He wasn’t an anton. He was anthropomorphic and had human traits such as two feet, two arms, and even the same organs that humans would have in similar places. No antennae or hair and had scaly skin, someone what of a dragon. He wore a black trench coat and black pants and shirt. One of his eyes were black and the other was blood red with black markings and had black extrusions from his scaly skin. On his right side, he formed a small horn above the eye. Stellar looked creeped out and I wasn’t terrified.
“We received a letter from this address saying that we’d hand over the crown to you and have our mother resign,” says Stellar.
“That was you?” I asked.
“Yes. I did send that letter.” he said. “I’m Klon.”
“You seem to dislike our mother then.” I said. “Mind explaining why?”
“Proxima.” she said putting her hand on me and I removed it.
“You asked for my help.” I said, turning to her.
“Queen Tuni.” he started. “She is a truly famous icon in the galaxy. I want the crown because I am hunting for a relic. I discovered this relic’s existence from speaking with… a god.”
“A god?” I ask.
He nods.
“He told me that I need to take this planet over. This planet is a true mess of this galaxy. That’s what he told me. After getting that relic. I will become the new ruler of Allitune and then, then entire galaxy.”
“I don’t know who you think you are, you crazy freak, but I don’t believe in whatever crap this god told you to do.” I said. “My mom would never give the Allitune crown to some weirdo. You aren’t getting the crown. Period.”
“Proxima.” says Stellar. “You can’t speak abruptly like that about our mom.”
“Yes I can. This is what you brought me to do. This guy is just some stupid treasure collecting weirdo, mumbling crap that doesn’t make sense.”
“It seems not taking me seriously, Proxima. Say, have you ever encountered trouble like this in your life before?” he said.
“Nope.” I said. “And with my foresight, I never will.”
I dragged Stellar out of the office and Klon smirked at us as we walked out of the room.
“Proxima. You need to learn to take things seriously and stop living this princess life. Watch yourself.” says Klon.
Stellar started to keep talking in my year, telling me how my response was bad and that I shouldn’t have cut the guy off rudely. We walked outside of the building and I walked away as Stellar grabbed my shoulders.

“Proxima.” she says. “Why are you ignoring this?”
“Because I don’t want to be a part of this stupid drama. This guy is a weirdo and I promise that he will not harm mom.”
“You promise?” she asks.
“I do.” I said. “I’m NEVER wrong.”
“Well, alright.” she says. “I don’t know what else we could do.”
“We could go eat at Feid.” I said. “I don’t remember the last time I spent time with you.”
“That sounds good.” says Stellar. The two of us rented some hoverboards at a station and we hoverboarded down the path to the Feid restaurant. Feid is a restaurant here in Donop that sells Feid, fish and seaweed mixed together, you will be surprised at how good it tastes. I’m surprised no one in the galaxy has ever made it. Well, at least I think so. We went inside of the massive white and green concrete building with an electronic sign that said Feid. We walked inside and everyone was eating at their tables. We walked up to the front to order some Feid and the anton working there was this grouchy fat guy who was purple skinned and looked super tired.
“Welcome to Feid.” he said.
“Two Feid classics please.” I said. The guy listed them on his device.
“50.32.” he said. I reached into my wallet and paid the money required. We went to sit down and sat down at a two person table as we waited for our food.
“It’s so good to have a sister who is confident and fearless in her actions,” says Stellar. “That could never be me.”
“Hey.” I said. “You wanted to be queen right?”
“Yeah.” she said.
“Then you’d better not be afraid to make statements and decisions. Don’t let me take the backseat. It’s super important.” I said. A little girl walks up to us and she has a pen and paper. The girl is red skinned like me and has short brown hair and small antennae that seem to not be grown yet. She is less than half our height and I thought I was a pretty average height at 5’1.
“You two are the princesses of Allitune.” she says. “I want to be queen when I am older. Can you please sign my autograph?”
I snatched the pen and paper and signed Proxima and handed it to Stellar, which she signed as well. The girl went back to her parents and showed them the autographs and the parents looked at us and smiled. Other people in the restaurant gave us attention as they walked over, attempting to get autographs from us. I heard my order being called so I walked over to pick it up in my amazing mood. Suddenly, I have a future vision. It’s a vision from someone’s perspective as they impale my mother with a dagger attached to a string. My mother coughed up blood as this person stepped away and my mother collapsed on the floor dead. The person grabbed the crown. I stood there, white.
“Uh, ma’am.” said that fat guy. “Your order?”
I immediately ran out of the restaurant and got on my hoverboard and rode back to the palace. As I rode, I hit a couple of people and they yelled “watch it” at me. I left Stellar at the restaurant because my future visions can be as low as 5 seconds. I rode right into the doors and smashed through as I jumped off and ran up the stairs. I ran up to the floor and barged into my mother’s room. She was reading a book.
“Hello sweetheart.” she said. “How did the talk go?”
I had a ringing in my ears as I felt fuzzy and all of my limbs became numb, knowing my mother was going to be killed.
“The talk went fine.” I said. My heart started to pound. I hugged her tight as she dropped her book on the floor.
“Proxima.” she said.
“I had a future vision of your death.” I said. “I don’t want to lose you.”
She just stood there speechless.
“It’s alright.” she said. “I won’t die because I have you and Stellar to protect me and to protect Allitune.”
“Mom.” I said. I let go of the hug.
“Can you get Stellar?” she asks,
“Sure.” I said, I turned around and walked away from the room as I took out my phone and began to dial her to come back to the palace. She picked it up and suddenly my phone was smashed onto the ground by someone. It was Klon. He had gloves with knives attached by a string onto them.
“Hello Proxima.” he says. “We meet again. I thought you’d be at Feid?”
“No.” I said. “I have a future vision. You are here to assassinate my mother.”
“And what will you do exactly? Stop me?” he asks. His horn glows red and I worry as he runs towards me with the knives. I got a foresight and saw he was going to attack by swinging the right one at me first and then the left. He charges at me and I dodge the right swing and the left and attempt to charge forward for a punch and he grabs me by the wrist as he holds my right wrist in the air.
“Proxima. Proxima. Proxima.” he says. “Despite having the powers of a god, you still are unable to stop me from the inevitable.”
I use my future vision again and see that with my right hand covered he was planning to swing the left right into my head. Seeing that coming, I attempt to struggle out and he keeps his grip. He swings the knife and I place my left arm and it stabs right into my left arm, causing immense pain. He drops me onto the ground as I start to tear up in pain from my left arm. The knife detaches from his string and becomes lodged into my arm.
“You looked so fearless before,” he says. “Wake up to reality. This is the real world, Proxima.”
The hole was huge and blood started to seep out. I could bleed out and die if I don’t do something. He began to swing the knife again and I moved out of the way and it missed. I breathe super hard.
“My aim isn’t you. It’s your mother, I’ve wasted enough time here.” he says. He runs up the stairs. I remove the knife. I walk to some cloth and wrap it around my left arm. I ran up the stairs after him and he was already in my mother’s room as she screamed. I held the knife tightly. I still felt so powerless as I walked to the door and saw my mom being cornered by Klon.
She was clearly scared, but then she glanced at me, and put on a brave face.
“Don''t worry about me. Take care of your sister. And...” she paused. "I love you." Klon swung his arms forward as I rushed.
“MOM!!!!!!!!!!!” I yelled. I walked towards them as the knife swung right into her chest. This impaled her and she coughed up blood. Klon steps backwards and I run towards my mom and she pushes me away. The right knife came back to Klon covered in her blood. Klon takes the knife attached to his right arm and lunges forward towards Mom. The knife in his hand penetrates her chest, and she lets out a soft gasp. The light in her eyes starts to fade, but then she glances at me, and her eyes glint with determination. She suddenly surges with energy, and grips Klon''s arms with a strength that surprises even her. She then throws herself out of the window, still holding him, smashing the glass and landing onto the ground, 200 metres down. I stood there in despair. I rushed to the window and found my mother’s corpse lying on the ground. She was dead, and Klon was gone! Despite seeing the future, I couldn’t save her.
“No.” I said. “Mom. Please! NO!!”
Suddenly, the door opened with all of the cops of Donop and Stellar and they saw me peering out the window with a blood knife in my hand. Stellar ran and pushed me out of the way and looked out to see her mother, not wearing her crown and head. Stellar walked back to the cops and looked at me in despair and disappointment.
“You.. killed her?!” says Stellar. I glanced at the knife I held. It had blood on it. I dropped it.
“No.” I said. “That Klon guy killed her. I should have listened to you!”
“No.” says Stellar. “You never should have killed the queen. I can see through your lies, Proxima. Arrest her.”
“No. No.” I said as the cops put handcuffs on me. They took a needle full of anaesthetics and injected me with it and I fell unconscious. The cops dragged me away with my eyes full of tears from the death of my mother. I didn’t know where they would take me. I had been framed for a murder that I didn’t even commit.
