30 minutes later, and my bag was already all packed.Rachel and I had agreed that the apartment would remain because I would obviously visit once in a while. At least, I hope so."Are you ready?" My aunt asked, coming to my side with a smile."No I am not, but let's just get it over with.""So how's this going to work?" Rachel chipped in. "You know... the portal thing.""I just open a portal that should lead us directly to the Palace, which is usually impossible if I wasn't a member of the Royal family". Aunt Anna explained."Why is it impossible?" I ask"Well, because the palace is guarded by a very strong ancient magic. Outsiders can't come in unless they are permitted. "With that, she turns away from us, towards the wall, and just snaps her fingers three times. Suddenly there was light. Right in the wall was a bright opening... a hole of some sort, similar to the one Doctor Strange opens in Avengers."Oh my God." Rachel gasped excitedly..."This is awesome. So what you guys just ha
Few minutes later, I lay back on my bed, willing myself to sleep but I couldn't. Maybe because I was excited, or maybe because I was scared that once I closed my eyes, I'd wake up again in my room...a normal orphan and all this would turn out to be just a wild dream.With a sigh I got up from the bed and walked over to the massive shelf that had my birthday gifts in it and smiled. What would it have been like to grow up with these boys?It doesn't matter though. I'm here now, with my real family.Somehow that brought close tears to my eyes. Real family.... What about my parents? If I was born in this enchanted world how did I end up in Nigeria? How did they find me?Surely there was a very huge part of this story that I was missing.My eyes caught a picture on the shelf and I picked it up. She was a very beautiful lady... She looked just like me, but with dark hair and although she looked tired, she was wearing a big smile as she stared down at the three kids on her lap.That must be
Edward_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Running was something I enjoyed doing, maybe because it was the only time I can be myself and just everything free.....When I'm running in my other shape, I feel safe, and powerful and couldn't care less about the secret I had to protect every day.The moment I opened the door to the sitting room, the scent that hit my nostrils froze me in my tracks.WTF?My senses are always heightened after I change and it takes a few days to reduce if I don't shift again.The unfamiliar...yet familiar scent of a woman was so strong I almost staggered...It can't be...A scent that I've dreamt about....a scent that I've carried with me for eighteen years...a scent that I refused to let go of...Although stronger and purer and older now...but I could never mistake it for something else...I rushed...almost ran..to the kitchen following the scent and froze again at the kitchen door as my stomach clenched painfully at the sight before me.There she was.. her long red hair beauti
How was a girl supposed to act when she has to face her brothers for the second time in her life early in the morning?I don't even know what to wear, what to say or how to act. Of course we met last night, but it was already late and we had already spent a few hours together.Shit is about to get really real here.I actually needed to start going downstairs though, because I had lots of questions I had to ask them, especially about our mother and our powers.I rummaged through my bag and picked up a black short and red T shirt and smiled nervously.What exactly is the right dress code for a princess around here? Will this be okay?Cut yourself some slack Rosella. You are new to this...you will eventually settle in. I admonish myself but that didn't help my nerves in the slightest way. This is all too much. My brothers have been princes all their lives while I was just a poor regular girl.How on earth am I supposed to meet their standards? I'm just me. What if they don't like me or
We were all still talking in my room, I forgot I hadn't had breakfast and apparently, so did my lovely brothers.I enjoyed just sitting here having a conversation with them, they were all lovely in their own way and I could get used to the attention they were giving me.The way Jason and Jacob always want to sit by my side as if they were scared that I'll be lost again was really adorable."I'd love to go see Lily" I blurted out as they were still arguing about who was supposed to take me to the training ground later that day.Tony looked at me confused."Who's Lily?" Jason asked."Well you know? Beautiful voice in my head...." I whisper and their eyes widen."What the hell? You already bonded with your spirit guide? We had no idea" Jacob said and I frowned. Was I not supposed to?"Well it's actually normal for her to. Since she's already awake" Tony explained calmly "Her name's Lily?""Uhm...yeah that was what she told me." I answered and he nodded "I can't imagine how you must hav
Magic......Do you believe in magic and spells?Do you believe in supernatural powers?Flying horses, floating houses, curses.. you know, all those stuffs you read in books or watch in movies?Well I didn't, untill a few years ago.It all started a week before my 18th birthday, with dreams. Disturbing dreams, although not scary, no. Not at all.Disturbing because they never made sense ,and those dreams completely changed life.As I was saying, the dreams started on a friday night, exactly one week before my birthday. I saw myself..though not really me, because the lady I saw was a completely different lady. With long red hair, on a flying horse.Yeah I know...weird right?Well I was on a flying horse, four others behind me, but i couldn't see the faces of their riders clearly.I woke up the next morning with an odd feeling of total peace and joy.Of course the first time, I didn't take it seriously, not untill the dream kept repeating. Each one weirder than the last.The fourth time,
I am Azura. The only goddess of two elements. Fire and water.Ooops...... Right introduction, wrong timing.****************"This is not gonna be a great day". This was all I could say to myself.Somehow deep down, I could just feel that something huge was gonna happen today.It was the same gut feeling I woke up with the day I lost my parents to a ghastly car accident.I was a hundred and one percent sure, that crazy things are gonna happen today. Was it instinct? Or maybe what I saw when I looked at my reflection in the mirror this morning?Or both?Oh well...I've always been that weird girl. When I was a child, I used to see things. Imaginary creatures. Although I stopped seeing them as I became older, so my parents and I would always joke about it. "They are just a child's imaginations"But were they really?I sighed.This isn't gonna be a great dayMy heart did a flip for the hundredth time that morning and I sighed again.As I walked to school, that feeling kept growing.I w
"Come on"I grabbed Rachel's hand, dragging her to the dark closet behind our class room. When we got there, I locked the door leaving us in darkness."Okay Ella, what's wrong? Are u okay?. This place is very dark, so let's just go outside and talk"Ignoring her, I bought out my phone from my breast pocket and switched on the torchlight, so she could see what I was about to show her."Ray, I'm gonna show you some crazy stuffs right now, but promise me you won't freak out. Please, I already did enough of that.""What's going on Ella? Just spill it. I'm getting worried" And I could hear the worry in her voice."Well, remember the dreams I told you about?" Rachel nodded."The crazy dreams you have been having for the past few days. Yeah I remember, so what happened?" "I don't think they are just dreams." I said and shivered immediately at the thought of what I was about to reveal to her."What do you mean?""Well, I woke up this morning to something else Ray." Breathing in and out heavi
