The new ruler

Her heart thumps against her chest, and she looks around for Leaf and Ann. They were gone as well. Then she saw them, Leaf in the middle of the eastern side of the ballroom, kneeling in a circle as she muttered something with eyes closed.

Her eyes followed it to the southern side, where her sister knelt, doing the same thing. Quickly following the lines, it ended on her, she was in the north, in a black circle. What they were doing suddenly crossed her mind, she looked at the floor Ace and Ivy stood, they were in a circle.

The kiss meant nothing, he was distracting her. She looked at her shadow monsters, they could see what was happening but didn't utter a word, Darcy was involved.
