I'm completely silent I hear cries of women and the panic of children. I don't understand who would do such a thing. I fall to my knees in a W sitting position
"Guards I want all of the clan leaders to a meeting in less than five hours." says my mother people stop their cries and listen jumping into action
"veleroseabella you and your mother will be representing the fairies get dresses, YOU SEVEN, get rebal dressed, now everyone move it." a few fairies then come to me picking me up flying towards the bathing area. they strip me from my clothes and created a hot rose bath. Once I'm in the bath they back away starting to gossip saying
'i can't believe this who in this world would have the guts to steal the gem ' I have no idea this person must be very skilled ' what do you think the queens gonna do about it ' I say it's that shadow since he's always playing games and getting mg into to trouble he also very powerful he would be a perfect suspect ' well who knows I mean really look at the princesses '
They all then turn there gaze to look at me
'look at her she's in shock' I turn my gaze to them but they quickly looked away
"Is the bath finished yet?" I asked
"YES, your highness" one said I stood up out of the bath some of the maids looked me up and down judging my body figure, some of them even touch my breast, but I ignore the, while the others actually did their job. once I was in a towel I was rushed to the dressing room and p it on a large circular block to stand on I was then, lotion and put into red undergarments. They then take out a long dark red almost like a wine red, a dress that was, off-shoulders, has a very large slit if you ask me, to top it off with a tall silver wedge heel and a silver wolf looking earing
"If you don't mind me asking your highness would you twirl for us," says a maid I mood my head and give them three spins but when I stop I feel dizzy, tumbling backward. The maids start to rush to me but out of nowhere, I put my hand on the floor and cart-wheel, way faster than I intended. I guess it's just that my boxing training kicked in. I raise up and walk towards the makeup and hair stand taking a seat like I didn't just almost bust my head.
"O...kay," says one of the maids and they start doing my make-up. Giving me a full face makeup with silver on my eyelids and a dark gray on the outside. With eye liners, they didn't add any eyelash extensions, I was glad for that. When styling my hair they just left my hair loose in its natural 4a curls. Parting it making one side bigger than the other. I stood up looking at myself
"Princess if you could follow me please," says a maid and I do as she says with no hesitation. About seven maids surround me in a protective circle. I'm taken outside to a carriage. taking a seat inside and I close my eyes drifting thinking of what my mother has up her sleeve.
•••••••••
Someone opens the carriage door giving me their hand I take it stepping out I follow a maid to a room she pushes the door with as much strength as she can. to reveal a huge oval-shaped table with a hologram in the middle, and five kids that look like they're in their teens. When I walk in they all have their eyes on me. I see Ro in a long floral dress near the second end of the table and walk over to her taking a seat.
"Who are these people" I whisper to Ro
"They are all the clan leaders kids, their all 16 and up so sooner or later they gonna be getting the throne" I nod my head. I look at the witch kids, not gonna lie that kid's dark green suite looks good. I don't really like the witch girl's dress but I don't say anything. Then turn to the human kid he looks like he had some beef with that witch girl. Not gonna lie she looks like the b***** type. turning to look at the shadow kid and my heart stops for a second he's looking directly at me with one Hella creepy grin. He's the kid from the woods. He said we'd meet again. I didn't think he actually meant it unless he stole the gem just to see me again-no... no, that doesn't sound right nobody would do that for me with my fat a**. I give him a hard look that says 'mess with me and you gonna be really messed up' and leave him at that. all of a sudden all the clan leaders with their court came in. I let out a breath waiting to hear what they have to say. my mom sits at the tip of the end while the shadow king and queen as at the other end. everyone took a seat next to their people and the conversation started.
"As I'm sure we have all heard, our precious gem was stolen and I brought us here to discuss just hat we should do about this matter, so let's get some suggestions on the table." says my mom
"Why don't we put up a reward for anyone with information about the gem being stolen we could give them a prize like 10 grand." says the shadow queen, someone else then said. another idea and soon everyone was talking over one another some disagreeing with each other fighting over an idea till someone said.
"Why don't we let the kids find it." everyone stops talking and looks at the witch king with wide eyes just plain staring at him. it was so .deadly silent.
"what do you mean by letting the children find it." the wolf court says
"well... not gonna lie this will teach them a lesson of how much they would go through to sacrifice themself for their kingdoms. Learn survival, how precious there life is, and no showers...well there are lakes they can take showers in" he chuckles then continues
" They can see how the poor people feel and really get the...saving the world feeling you know you guys would be.... REAL HERO'S to the young kids and plus they can finally talk to each other and get to know each other.... do you guys even know each other's names." everyone turns their eyes to the 'children' we all shake our heads.
"see they'll be alright-"
"NO" everyone turns there attention to the witch girl who has a frown on her face and crossed arms
"THERE IS NO WAY I I'M GONNA STAY IN A FOREST TRYING TO FIND SOME GEM WE MIGHT NEVER FIND, WILL I HAVE A SHOWER, MY MAIDS, makeup, CLOTHES, AND FOOD," says the witch girl. I frown at her behavior
"AND ITS GONNA BE SO UNCONFORTAB- SHUT UP," the witch girl says with me cutting in without having second thought I stood up abruptly. surprising many people.
"you're being ridiculous literally, don't just think about yourself, don't you car-of course I care... about my looks." I clench my hands so hard that my knuckles start to turn white. she crossed her arms with a frown on her face. She glares at me while I throw daggers at her. Oh this girl is so on. The tension in this room was so thick it couldn't be cut with a knife.
"ladies, ladies... lets clam down for a second." says the shadow king
"lets... let the firstborn go on this mission then." Say the witch girl.
"Oh thank goodness your not first born the minute you had a crown you can kiss your riches goodbye." I say a few people crack up mostly the witch boy and the witch king. She just ignores me and takes a seat. I Then take a seat and my mother concludes the meeting saying.
"Okay, then the firstborn children, Rebal, Mendel, Veleroseabella, Chad, And Midnight. will be given a map to the location of where the gem last was and is to find it for the sake of anovia. we nod our heads.
"well then this meeting is adjourned, have a good day to you all." and with that, I stand up and walk over to that witchy girl to give her a piece of my mind when I feel someone tug on my hand pulling me farther away from her. I look up and see Ro with an irritated look on her face dragging me out the door. once outside the door she lets go of me and faces me shaking her head.
"you gotta keep your cool girl, she just trying to get under your skin, plus we're all gonna be friends now so we got to get along with them, hey you know what I just go a brilliant idea, let's go talk to them right now."
"oh like right now," I say as she pulls me towards the group of teens.
"Yeah right now." Standing in front of them, they all turned around to face us. And you don't know how overdressed I felt
"Hi my names Veleroseabella but everyone calls me Ro, and this here is my close friend Rebal"
"Hey Ro we meet at the kid's school," says the shadow I lift an eyebrow and tilt my face to the left. she just smiles
"Hey P.M," say,s Ro. I'm taken by surprise I squint my eyes at her then to the floor.... then back at her.
"rebal right," says a guy in a l green suit
"yeah I'm rebal and you."
"prince Mendel" I smile at him
" and I'm Prince midnight," says the shadow, and I nod my head he kissed my hand but I snatched it away he looked hurt but I just look away with a smile on my face.
"Hi I'm Prince Chad," says the human kid shaking my hand all of a sudden the witchy girl comes back. she snatches his arm from mine. I try my best to ignore her but I just can't. I feel myself get madder. giving her the cold eyes. she meets my eyes and is taken back. everyone looks at her weirdly then at me. with a shocked expression, Ro grabs my hand and shows me it. my veins look black and I know my eyes are gold from feeling mad. I close my eyes trying to calm myself down. this happens all the time when a wolf gets mad. I look back at my hand. the black veins are gone I look back up.
"it was nice meeting you all but I think it's time we leave....right VELEROSEABELLA," I say she looks at me with a shocked expression. The only time I call her that is when I demand something from her like she has to do it with no exception. which is basically never.
"right umm sorry guys but we got to go it was nice to meet you chad, Selena, Mendel, and Midnight anyway bye you guys have a great day." says rose, and we turn around walking down the hallways. all you can hear are the people talking and our heels clicking and pounding loudly on the floor. I make my way to the carriage the doorman opens it for me
"Thank you, kind sir"
" Your welcome princess, I'm just doing my job," says the man I Then hop in. with Ro right behind. I sigh once the carriage moves.
"This is gonna be one heck of an adventure won't it be," I say she turns to me and says
"and we'll be ready for whatever challenge comes our way... plus we're in this together... forever"
"forever," I say doing pinky promise with her. with a smile on my face, I look out the window.
