So many secrets had been unraveled and it's almost impossible to believe them..that my parents were supernatural beings..that I'm a supernatural being. I don't get one thing though,
"Dad?" I asked bringing him out of his trance
"Yes?"
"If I'm a black soul..Then Why don't I have powers..Like Avery does?"
I mean , Avery is 20 like me and she has powers.
"I don't know , Cora..maybe your powers are taking time because you're a child of a black soul and a white soul. I however know that they could be in you right now,it's just that you didn't discover them..or you would have them any moment now..because 21 is the last year to attain powers and you'll be 21 next month"
I sighed, I was somewhat scared and a little excited, I'll be having powers!! How can I not be excited? And this might be a dream,right? I mean I can never escape the house and even if I did then Avery would've found me instead of dad, so..I think I'll go with the dreams flow.
Just then Avery walked in ,
"Heyyy!" She said as she walked in and I gave her a smile.
"Mission accomplished Mr. Commander?" She asked
"Yes, Avery, I told her everything I could" dad said as he stood up.
"I need to leave, they need me at the court" dad said and gently kissed on my forehead as he left.
"How does he know he's needed at the court?" I asked Avery.
"Telepathy, a very basic power" she said
I pouted, I feel out of place, I want my powers!
"Don't worry, you'll get them" she said
I groaned in annoyance,
"Stop reading my mind!" i said
She casually plopped on the couch and said
"I wasn't reading your mind, you're just thinking out loud, you need to learn to keep your voice down"
I was left speechless, I.. need to learn..to keep the voice of my thoughts down?! Is that even possible?!
"Yes, it is" she said as she started scrolling through the channels on the T.V. I huffed in anger and plopped down beside her.
"Hey look! They're live!" She said excitedly
"Who are?"
"The royal family!"
I followed her gaze towards the T.V. and was met by four people who were dressed heavily.
"Your Majesties, what a delight and honour it is to meet you" The host said as the camera focused on the two oldest people, The king and The Queen I guess.
"It sure is" The king said, he was wearing a well-embellished tunic with gold-work thread On top of it, a surcoat which depicted the emblem of the King and his family followed by a mantle. His green eyes were cold as his black hair had a few strands of grey.
"It's our pleasure to be seen by our people" The Queen said, she was wearing a beautiful white gown , she had warm blue eyes and a gorgeous smile, her brown hair which were in an elegant bun had some strands of grey as well. The camera moved towards two men, they looked classy, dangerous and too handsome to be alive.
"Yesterday we had a long chat with Your Majesties, but today, Our focus will be on the Prince's...Prince Addington--"
The camera focused on the older guy who had dark green eyes, brown hair which were pushed back and he had a sly smile playing on his lips, he was ,in every way, perfect.
"And Prince Amadeus"
My breath hitched as the camera shifted to the younger guy, he was..god? He was too good to be a huma--black soul.
He had hair darker than a night with no stars and moon, his eyes were icy cold blue, his face held no expression showing his perfect jaw line sharper than a knife, his perfect chiseled cheek bones, he was wearing a black two piece suit which brought out his eyes and made his skin glow like diamonds. Look at his perfect lips which were pink like the fresh rose petals. Oh good gracious!
"We are all yours" Prince Addington said with a smirk and a wink, Avery beside me giggled making me look at her, I rose my brow at her, she shut her mouth and concentrated in the screen while blushing profusely. I diverted my attention back to the screen, both the Prince's were seated on what seemed like typical Royal seats as the host sat in front of them with a microphone.
"As we all know, both the Prince's are very popular among the ladies..and on special request we are interviewing you" the host said
"Yes, definitely--" I don't have any idea what Prince Addington said, my eyes were refusing to leave Prince Amadeus' face, he wasn't even answering any question, not a single expression passed through his face even for a second. And before I knew it, the interview was coming to an end.
"Now, Prince Amadeus..any message you want to give to all the ladies watching?" The host asked.
His eyes met mine through the screen ,it was as if he was seeing deep into my soul, I forgot to breath as his sharp eyes bored into mine.
"All I would like to say is that I'm thankful to all the people of Homeland for trusting us and maintaining peace and order"
His cold voice sending chills down my spine.
"I hate to interrupt , Sire, but we are strictly talking about ladies here" the host said
"Ladies, it's about time we meet" he said and I breathed in air.
"That's absolutely what they wanted to hear, thank you for sparing time and as for the audience, we will meet tomorrow again with another celebrity, until then, Hail our homeland!"
"Hail our homeland!" Avery cheered as the programme ended.
"A?"I asked
"Hmm?"
"What was Prince Amadeus talking about?"
She turned towards me and said
"It's some sort of ritual that has nothing to do with you, it's rather a dangerous ritual so see that you don't go out"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't worry Cora, you're safe unless and until you're home or with Mr. Commander, don't pry about it, you'll only get scared"
I licked my dry lips, what is going on? Is this dream or reality?! I still need time to digest all of this. And as Avery said, I don't leave the house, I don't wanna be the target of a dangerous ritual I know nothing about.
