"Anna, we will not be going to Firce now because I have some friends who are waiting for me." Richard disclosed, "They accompanied me while I was searching for you."
"I have no problem with is it far from my uncle's house?" I asked before looking at the window so I could capture the environment for the last time.
"Yeah it is," he said
"Richard, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"How did my parents die?" I asked.
"Annabelle, that is an excellent question. You were told that your father died in a plane crash and that your mother died from a heart attack, but in reality, your father did not die in a plane crash, he died because someone poisoned him." Richard said, before shutting his eyes tightly.
"Poison! How, where and why was he poisoned?" I asked.
"In the Mystic Realm, there are five kingdoms. The Werewolves, The Vampires, The Yugen, The Aries and The Firce and The Aries are our enemies; they hate us with every fibre in their bodies. The last battle your dad fought against caused his death."
"How?" I questioned.
"Your father was the head of the soldiers at a time the Aries started causing chaos in Firce and when your father found out about everything, he been pretty upset. He came back home with your mother under the pretence of travelling to Egypt for a business trip. The Aries had asked for war and your father was ready to give it to them. We won, but their prince did something that hurt our people deeply. He had shot a poison arrow at your dad on his arm and he left. Your dad was taken to the hospital, and the arrow was removed. The doctors said that he was fine, but he wasn't fine. A few days later, the poison started showing its effect on your dad. He was always weak and tired, he throws up every time. It felt as if something was wrong with his body. They rushed him to the hospital when he fell down the stairs, then everyone realized he had poison in his body and it came from the arrow. The doctors and nurse tried their best to get rid of the poison, but it was not possible. Your father passed away after two weeks of being bedridden in the hospital. '
Poison, some stupid people poisoned my father. They are the ones who, deprived of a father, I could feel tears running down my face.
"Annabelle, I know you are overwhelmed with emotions at the moment, but you need to calm down before your powers go out of control." He requested before holding my hand.
At first, I wanted to snap at Richard, but then I realized we were still in the normal world and any slight mistake from me could expose my people.
Deep breaths Anna, just take in deep breaths.
"When will we get to the house?" I asked.
"Let's say in 20 mins." He clutched the steering wheel tightly before hitting the acceleration pedal.
After 20 mins he pulled the car in front of a house. It was not really a big house but the painting and designs were breathing. He stepped down and came to open the door for me and, to be honest; I felt touched.
"I came with two friends. One is a girl named Isabelle, while the other one is a boy named George." He knocked on the door and rang the doorbell at the same time.
"Are they dating?" I blurted out.
Richard smirked before answering my question, "Yes, they are dating."
The door opened and in front of us stood an exquisite girl; she had brown eyes, average height, and the colour of her hair was blonde. She smiled when she saw me and allowed us in.
"Richard did it, he finally found the princess." She chuckled.
"Really?" a manly voice asked and from another corner of the room, a young boy appeared. He was as tall as Richard but instead of having blue eyes, he had brown eyes just like Isabelle.
"Welcome, your Majesty," they exclaimed before giving a bow and a curtsy.
"Please don't embarrass me by giving me a curtsy or a bow. I am just like you and also please don't call me your Majesty, call me Annabelle, Anna or Belle." I looked around the room we were in and honestly, this room looks amazing.
"We are sorry for making you feel uncomfortable Annabelle." Isabelle apologized before bowing her head down. I knew she felt bad, so I cheered her up.
"No problem, you need not feel bad at all. I know you are just trying to respect tradition, so no big deal."
Isabelle lifted her head up and smiled. "Okay, just Annabelle, Belle or Anna, no princess. "
"Isabelle, please escort Annabelle upstairs so she will freshen up," Richard said.
"Okay, Richard, I will do that now." She replied.
Isabelle accompanied me and took me to a room. She gave me a quick tour around the house and after that, she showed me where the bathroom was. Isabelle laid out some clothes for me to change into and left but before she did she said something, "Annabelle when you are doing please come downstairs and also your wings are beauty."
I smiled at her, "Thanks at first I thought they were weird but now I love them. "
"You should they are an enmity of genuine beauty." She said.
"Thanks. "
"No problem, freshen up. "
"Okay, see you. "
