Chereads / THE TRUE MONARCH / Chapter 12 - MAGNA, LONDON AND DAD

Chapter 12 - MAGNA, LONDON AND DAD

"You know that we are going back to London, right" I asked Katie. We both looked at each other before squealing.

"LONDON I AM COMING, MY LOVE" I screamed running upstairs with Katie in my foot steps.

In order to find the token through which we can use our powers, we needed to go to London. London is my birthplace and also Katie's. Yes, we are British by birth. We spent our starting five years over there before moving to NYC and then the disappearing of my parents happened. I started living in an orphanage. At the age of 15, I was able to make some money to buy an apartment. At the age of 18, I moved out of the orphanage. At the age of 20, I found out I had super natural power. Happenings, eh?

I am Clare Jane James, daughter of Jane Daunter James and James Louis William. My mother Jane Daunter was the daughter of King Alcott Harper Daunter and Queen Luna Evelyn Daunter. My mother was a princess, next in line to the throne. My father was a commoner whom my mother fell in love with. Soon to get married and have a daughter. But after witnessing that their daughter could be harmed, they decided to leave her in the normal world. They were the descendants of the supernatural world, named Magna. Magna was made up of six supernatural families.

Firstly, The James. The most powerful family out of all that were envied by the other five because they were the one that ruled the throne. They were by birth from the The great Britain. They were once no one could defeat. They won the hearts of the commoner by their love and affection. They thought that love was such powerful emotion that the greatness lied in it. But they were gravely mistaken for they were tarnished by the great power of love. The say that it is true that all good things in a high amount are dangerous.

Second comes The Soliel. The French line of Magna. Powerful yet defeated by James. They are frank and can be really outspoken, not caring about other's feelings. The are independent people who rely on themselves only. They are power hungry. They say that they are the sun. Be an Icarus and come near us, we will melt you and be your death. Keep your distance and you are safe. If they want something they get it, no matter what the cost or what the consequences.

Thirdly, The Sky. They are the Australian people. They are hybrid creatures, Werewolf and Vampires. They were originally werewolves but bitten by the power hungry vampires they turned into hybrids. They do not live for power. They are contented with what they have. They can be really hard towards an original Vampire that are Russian. But being Hybrid they have power over them.

Fourth most powerful are The Galileo. They are Russian, original Vampire that are also power hungry. But cowardly in front of James. For, they fear them a lot. They like to live in isolation but they are extremist. Being Vampire's they are really proud and they would give up everything except their freedom. The wander quite a lot too but alone.

Fifth are The Orions. The American line that descended down. They were also quite frank like the Soliel. They weren't interested in overcoming The James because they were half faerie. One of their ancestor helped a faerie and were granted the faerie powers. That is how they are connected to the Europeans. The shine in the dark due to their mixture of blood and that connects it to their name, The Orions.

Sixth, The Atlas, the Chinese line. They are known as the guiders of the mythical world. For they know each and every passage and exit that exists in this universe. They have their own passion. Being the friends of James, they could be powerful, but they didn't strive for it. Because they knew that what could happen to them. So, they stay quite, wishing that the world could one day settle in peace.

They all used to live in their regions in the old times. But as the times turned modern, they scattered all around the globe. All was well, until they grew lavish, going against the laws. It was illicit affairs done by the royals with the normal people that changed the destiny of most of the common people and of the Magna. The world, once that shined was darkened.

I closed the book and my eyes and leaned my head back in order to get some rest as I plugged my air pods in my ears, the voice of Selena Gomez spreading a smile on my face. We were on our way to London in Hayden's private jet. I couldn't contain my excitement of finally seeing my home country. It was half an hour left until our landing. Katie was asleep while Hayden was working on his laptop. I was bored so I decided to poke Katie awake. I tapped on her shoulder three times and she woke. She turned around to look at me in disbelief.

"You, woke me up, like a human, YOU?" She looked at me in pure shock and Hayden laughed. I kicked Katie, who on my reaction heaved a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you are you" She breathed out and I glared at her. The plane was about to land, so we put our seat belts on. As soon as the plane landed, I jumped out, inhaling my oh-so-dear-London's fresh air.

"Ahh, how I missed you" I smiled as Katie and Hayden joined me. We spotted Selena a mile away from us. I waved at her frantically. She looked at me awkwardly.

"You forgot us?" Me and Katie chorused annoyed. She smiled, observing us from tip to toe before saying. "Oh, how can I forget the trouble makers?" She exclaimed pulling us in a suffocating hug.

"Can't breath.." I heaved out and she let us go. We instantly took deep breaths. She turned towards Hayden examining him as well. "You have changed, a lot" She spoke up, confusion evident in her voice. She then turned towards me hugging me the second time. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much" She squealed at me. "For what?" I asked her bewildered. "For bringing him back to life, DUH" She commented as if I didn't knew the most obvious thing in my life. "Come on, lets go" She took Katie's hand and dragged her along. Hayden placed his arm over my shoulders as we walked towards the car. "Hey, Sel, did you listen to me and added Marie in your name" I teased her. She looked at me as if I had said something funny. "Yeaah, I mean, won't it be cool to say that we are related to Selena Marie Gomez" Katie joined me. Selena feigned being hurt. "So if I don't add Marie, I won't be cool?"

"Exactly" I answered as if she had finally found out the right thing.

"Stop teasing me" She snapped at us, half laughing.

"Man, she thinks we are joking" I looked at Katie, my expression serious.

"Selena, we really mean it" She had also joined the joke as Hayden kept his void of any expression, playing along us very well.

"Hayden, what do you think, should I?" She asked Hayden.

"Yeah, I mean it wouldn't hurt to do so" He shrugged his shoulder. She was starting to believe our joke, for real. We laughed as we entered the car. Selena had bought her own car so she wasn't travelling with us. We stopped in front of the ancient House Of James. It was huge, like a mansion. After the disappearance of Jane, nobody came into the house, except for the loyal servant's who stayed and cleaned the house. Hayden had told me that he used to come here whenever he visited London. We entered the mansion, the servants waiting for us. They all knew that Hayden was coming but not about me. And when they saw me, they were left astounded. A man came forward looking at me, his face shining with happiness.

" 'Larie, Is it you or am I dreaming?" He spoke feebly.

"Dad" I breathed running towards him and hugging him. He was my dad. I knew it from the moment he called me by my nick name, he had given me. Tears streamed through my eyes as I didn't let go of him. Hayden had to pull me back so he could take a breath. I sobbed into his chest. I left him fifteen years ago, so young and yet after all those years he looked so old, as if the burdens he carried were too much for him. The servants around us whispered to each other, happily. At that moment I just felt like I wanted to kill that wrenched woman who did this to my family. I helped my dad up, looking at my surroundings and remembered the joyful moments of my happy five year life.
