I walked upstairs, dead inside.
'He went to meet his family, but his family id dead and their grave is in NYC and he was going to meet Amy he said so on the phone call. Who the hell is Amy because she isn't Amy Daunter that I know of. How the hell is she Dominic's family?'
All night this thought bugged me until I went into an uneasy sleep. The next morning I woke up early and dressed up quickly in order to catch Hayden before any one is up. I came downstairs to see he was ready to go on his morning jog.
'Perfect Timing' I thought before going up to meet him.
"Hey there" I called up at him as I caught up next to him.
"You are early" He commented as he removed his air pods.
"Well, I have some news" I told him.
"What news?" He asked.
"I may have information about who Amy really is" I told him and he stopped in his tracks and I bumped into him in the process.
"Oww, you are like a wall" I commented rubbing my forehead. He smiled and pecked it.
"Better" He asked at me, pulling me towards a bench.
"Much better now" I grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"So, I was saying that I know who Amy could be?, yeah yesterday I may have eavesdropped on Dom's conversation and he was talking to some one that he was going to meet Amy. And when I asked him that where he was, he didn't reply but I did heard that wasn't meant for me to hear that, Why can't he go meet his family?" I told him and he looked at me with a confused expression.
"His family died when he was young" Hayden corrected me.
"I know that but it is not my fault he said that" I sat down on the bench with a huff.
'Well, we will surely find out" He replied standing up and continuing his jog.
"Won't you join?" He shouted from a distance. I groaned but followed his actions. I was halfway through the course when he came beside me.
"Snail" He commented and I stuck my tongue at him.
"Rabbit" I said before running away.
"Stop right there, did you just call a handsome man rabbit?" He shouted and I just kept running, knowing he can catch me because of his fast speed. I was running without watching anything and that was where it happened. I ran straight in a wall.
"OUCH" I winced rubbing my already bruised forehead.
Wait, I was in a ground, how can there be walls. I looked up slowly to see that I had not bumped in a wall but Hayden himself. I backed of slowly and was about to run when he caught me by my waist and threw me over his shoulder.
"What the hell, put me down Hayden Daunter or I will be the death of you!" I screamed at him.
"You already are the death of me" He commented and placed me down on the sofa. We were in the house. I huffed at him. The maid informed us that the breakfast was ready. I got up and we made our way towards the dining room. Only Dad and Jeremy were sitting on the table. We sat down and I piled my plate up with food. Ivy entered looking frustrated. Katie was the next one to come.
"Where is Dom?" Dad asked Jeremy who just shrugged looking at Ivy who rolled her eyes.
"He is being a jerk, nothing much" She attacked her sausages as if they were Dom. Dad smiled at her and called a servant.
"Go to Dominic and tell him that James William the true King of Magna is calling him on the breakfast table" The servant scurried away.
"That was so cliché" I commented eating my black pudding.
"It is not cliché and you are a princess Clare, please eat like one. You are from a royal family of Magna. Get used to it, I want you to get it back, You are the true monarch" He looked at me seriously and I sat up straight and started eating slowly. His words had a affect on me.
"Yes" It was Dom who had entered spoke up, rudely. Jeremy looked at him warningly.
"What yes?, come and sit down on the table. It is against the manners that everyone is on the table and one is sulking upstairs" He spoke in a hard voice and Dom sat down, pouring tea in his cup. Dad gave him a stern look.
"Clare, I need to talk to you, meet me in my study later" I nodded.
After breakfast I went upstairs to Dad's study. For Emma, forever ago by Bon Iver was playing in the background. I sat down listening to it. The song stopped and Dad turned off the voice.
"Justin Vernon, the song writer said that Emma isn't a person. Emma is a place that you get stuck in. Emma is a pain that you can't erase" He had tears in his eyes.
"I had a sister named Emma, but she died. She killed her self." I looked at Dad in horror.
"I feel like this song is for me. I couldn't save her and I isolated myself from everyone who tried to help me. I want to re pay her. I want to avenger her. But my time has come." He stopped me from saying anything as I opened my mouth.
"You are also reflection of Emma to me. Blaine Tobias did it to her too. He ruined her and now I want you to ruin him. Make him regret that he was born. I want you to avenge for the Emma's that lost their innocence's to that werewolf."
"But, he is dead" I spoke up.
"If Amy was the one who died that day instead of Aubrey Blaine then he is alive. Find him and do it, For me, for you, for Emma" He held be my shoulder.
"Take the throne from her, You are the rightful owner of it. You are the True queen. You are my daughter who will fight for freedom and never give up." I nodded and he pulled me in a bone crushing hug. I cried in his arms. He pulled me away and took out an album from his desk.
"This is Emma, your aunt." He showed me a picture of a cheerful, ginger head girl. I smiled at the picture, she was a pretty young girl.
"We were just the two of us because our parents died in a car crash. That is what we knew till we were eighteen. But then I met Jane, your mother. I fell in love with her on the first sight. She helped us siblings a lot. Later, we found out that are parents were murdered because of some misunderstanding. I was the only child of my mother while Emma was adopted because my mother had a complication during my birth and she could not reproduce so we adopted a month old Emma. Emma was the daughter of a Sky, the Australian line." He took a deep breath before continuing.
"We didn't knew until Jane came along. She told us everything. Her parents helped us. Emma became a beautiful young women but was ruined by Blaine Tobias. She was traumatized and later she killed herself. I married Jane but I kept myself away from all the politics but not for long. I had to step up as the King once her parents died. We were happy until Amy turned her back on us, But this is not the truth, as you said that Amy is dead, So go find out who she really is and take the throne from that woman. Keep in mind that be just at any cost and don't be too emotional when deciding. It is unnecessary." He patted my hand and walked towards a shelf.
"Go down in the basement. On the right wall, there is a hook, pull it, then pour this liquid on the plate that is in front of you and dip your hand inside the liquid, then touch the wall with both of your hand then only you will able to open it, no one else. It is a James secret. So, be careful whom you tell" He handed me a small bottle filled with blue shimmery liquid.
"What is actually in that room?" I asked him.
"It is a treasure that one needs to prove that he is the true owner of the throne." He smiled motioning me to leave. I hugged him before running outside.
"HAYDEN!" I screamed at the top of my lungs standing in the foyer. He came out of the living room looking at me questioningly. I just pulled his hand, dragging him towards the basement. I entered the basement and went towards the right wall, there was a hook. I pulled it and a plate glided towards me out of no where. I poured the liquid inside it and dipped my hand and placed them on the wall. What happened next left me and Hayden stunned.
