AZURA: Chapter 3

I screamed, almost jumping out of my skin and stood up immediately, looking around the dark room.

I thought I was alone.

Of course I am.

"Who's there?" I whisper, my heart beating faster.

"Calm down and listen to me" The voice said again. Somehow it seems like it is in my head.

"Listen attentively princess. You can't see me because I'm not there. I'm home. I'm currently communicating in your mind"

In my mind?

Is this day going to get any worse?.

However I decide not to freak out, to at least see where all this is going to.

Because I really need answers. Desperately.

"Okay, so who are you? And why are you in my head?. Wait...better question. How on Earth are u in my head?"

"We share a bond Azura. I can communicate with you through that bond". The sweet voice said again.

Is that really necessary?

That happens in real life?

"Well okay. That makes total sense"  I said, sarcastically and very angrily.

"How about you pause your questions for later and work on that temper boiling in you. You are a few seconds away from reducing every building in this school to ashes. You wouldn't want that would u?"

What is this..... I don't even know how to address the voice in my head. 

How cam I possibly burn a building? 

Is she trying to be funny or what?

"I'm afraid not Azura."

"You really have to stop calling me that. And get out of my head."

I screamed, and I just got a sigh in return

"I Know you have lots of questions little one. I Know you must be very confused, and I promise to answer your questions as much as I can. But please calm down a little and control your temper."

Well I didn't have any other Choice than to listen her. Right now, this is the only source of answer I have and I can't afford to risk ruining it.

"Good. Now close your eyes and think about the ocean, Just the ocean. Be calm m breathe in and out"

I followed every instructions, and suddenly I could feel the temper slowly fading away, followed by the room's hot temperature.

"That's it lil princess. There's really no need to be upset darling. No need at all. Your friend did what any normal human should have done in her place. It is hard to process. Remember how you reacted when you saw yourself. So you just need to understand. She's scared but that does not make her a bad friend "

The mysterious voice was absolutely right. I was busy feeling betrayed, I forgot to think of how terrifying this must have been for Rachel.

Suddenly I was calm, the room temperature back to normal, and when I opened my eyes, the glow was gone.

Weird.

"Phew, glad we got that settled" The voice said and I just shook my head.

"How did you do that? What happened?"

"Your powers define you Azura. They are connected to your emotions, anger, sad, happiness. Your emotions can control your power. You just need to learn how to keep them at Bay."

Wow, okay.

Can someone wake me up from this nightmare already?. What's with all these talks about powers?

"I know this must all sound strange to you. But you will understand everything soon."

"I don't even know what to call you. I mean from your voice, I know you are female. But a female what exactly? Who are you and what's your name?"

Maybe we could start there.

"My name is Lily. I am your spirit guide and I'm so happy to find out you are alive little princess. We all thought you were dead"

"We? Who exactly are the 'we' "

"Everyone" a pause "including your brothers"

Brothers?

The school bell suddenly rang and I startled. Have I really been here for one hour?

I remember we also have a physics test today after lunch break. But right now, I'm not really thinking about going to class anymore, test or not.

All I need are answers. And u need them Asap.

What had Lily just said? Brothers?

"Okay, brothers from where exactly? I'm the only child of my late parents"  Somehow I already knew where these were all going. Although I know I'm not ready for that, but I still need to be certain.

Who am I?

"Azura. This is going to be a very long and confusing story."

"Well I have all the time in world. Nothing can be as confusing as everything that already happened today"

I sat down on the floor again and for a split second, I wondered what people would think if they saw me just sitting here, talking to myself.

But I guess this is perfectly normal compared to my sudden red hair.

My life is slowly changing from being normal, to a very complicated mess.

"I'm sorry little princess. I know this won't be easy."

"Ya think?. I have lots of questions. Just start explaining from the beginning."

" Well it all started with our King and queen I guess.

Now, I want to make it very clear... Our land is a magical land. The Royal lineage are blessed with magical powers, powers to control the four elements, Fire, Water, Air, and Earth.."

"That makes sense" I said nodding.

"Your mother, our last queen has the power of air. She is the youngest daughter of her parents. She had two elder sisters, Victoria and Anna. Victoria...well she was the black sheep of the family, and the kingdom's worst enemy"

"How's that possible? What happened?"

"The problem all started when their father, your grand father gave your mother the throne before he died. Victoria believed the throne could have been hers because she was the eldest. But your mother, Norah was the smartest and nicest out of the three sisters that was why she got the throne"

"Victoria was jealous, extremely jealous of her younger sister, that she tried many means to end her life, but failed"

"Fast forward to the most important part.

18 years ago, the queen got pregnant for the third time, that's after giving birth to two sons. The day she delivered, she gave birth to triplets: two boys and a girl".

I held my breath.

I'm a triplet?

"Yes Azura. That day, the whole kingdom was overjoyed  _especially your parents_ at the arrival of the first princess.

Unfortunately the joy didn't last"

I could feel the sorrow immediately flowing in Lily. Deep sorrow.

"What happened?"

I'm not sure that I'm even prepared for this answer, but I have to know everything.

"That same night, few hours after your birth,  as the Royal family were going home. The queen was in her Limo, with the four boys and the king had insisted to have u in his own car."

Lily shuddered

"Then Victoria came. Everyone was just very happy so they were caught unawares.  The next thing we know, the king's car was on fire. The queen was riding behind him. So it happened before her eyes,and your elder brothers. It was so fast. Victoria just came and was gone, and the car was on fire. Before the queen could come out and blow out the fire with her wind, everything was gone. The bodies couldn't even be recognized"

I was already shaking.

And then I realized I was crying.

I heard screams, loud screeches like as if, everything was happening again before my eyes.

Oh my God...

If.... Oh my

The pain they must have all went through...

My tears were still flowing uncontrollably, and I was shaking with the  sorrow I felt at the moment.

"And....?"

"And nothing Azura.. at that moment you were gone and I went into sleep. That's what happens when we loose the one we are guarding, or they loose their magic. We die temporarily, till another magic being is born for us to bond with.

I have no idea what happened after all these years... 

Next time I woke up, was a few hours ago..when u were ready to burn the school down. I guess when your power died, I died with it. And I woke with it."

"But why now? After all these years?. How did I survive the car accident? Why did my powers die...how come my appearance changed? How did I get here? Why did it come back now after all these years?"

"I don't have answers to all these questions. But I hope we find the answers at home. You need to come home Azura"
