Chereads / Cortney : The Game of Destiny / Chapter 16 - A Royal Vacation

Chapter 16 - A Royal Vacation

It was 1 January a day after Kendall's crazy birthday party. Austin and Alexa were going back to their homes to spend the holidays with their families but they will return before school starts. I on the other hand was super excited as I have planned a big surprise for my twin Carl. We went to the royal palace and said good bye to our palace and Austin and Alexa. "Surprise, we are going to our grandfather Martin's house but by bus" said as He saw mom , Rebecca and Josh standing in the garden. "Josh is coming too" said Rebecca. " Why we have to use bus?"asked Josh. "Because I want him to experience what we have" I said. "I am excited" said Carl. "Before leaving remember" said our mom but we completed her sentence by saying, " To wish grandfather Martin and behave properly" .

We all sat in the bus and I took the window seat as usual. Carl sat next to me and asked me tell more about our mother's family. "So our mother has two sisters and one brother and she is the eldest of them all. Aunt Addy ( Addison) is next then uncle Ben and last our aunt Kaila" I said. "Okay" he said. "So, now about our cousins. Aunt Addy has a daughter Kylie and a son named Justin , aunt Kaila has a daughter named Lucy who is older than Justin whereas our uncle Ben has a son named Jack. We all are older than them" I said. " That is great" said Carl. "Wait until you have to babysit them ,Josh and Rebecca" I said and we laughed. We all were playing games the whole way. We were about to reach our destination when the man sitting before us closed our window and I hit my head. "Excuse me" I said as Carl and I started to feel suffocation . " Shut up you fool" he replied rudely. "Sir I don't think it is the right way to talk to someone" I said. "Who are you to teach me?" he said laughing. I can't tolerate when people talk like that so I replied, "Well, you can just turn around to see who I am sir". "What do you want?" he said as he turned around and got really shocked to see me. "Sorry princess. I didn't knew it was you" he said as he apologized. "It is about being human not about a princess" I said. We got off the bus and were waiting for our grandfather Martin when Josh said, ' You are not going to pick any type of transport for any trip". I guess my idea was not so good but at least Carl was happy. I was sad that he had never met our cousins and even aunt Kelly never took him anywhere. Anyways our grandfather Martin arrived and he was very happy to meet us and Carl . He even scolded our mom. We went to his house by his car. It was far from the station so the car ride lasted more than 2 hours. Whe reached there and were happy to meet everyone. I helped Carl to take little jack in his arms. "I am meeting him for the first time too" I said. "Well you are really good at it" he said as he gave Jack to me. "I had a lot of practice" I said and we laughed. We called Alexa and Austin and went to sleep. I was unable to sleep so I got up and went to sit in the little balcony. "Sister why are you still awake? We are going to Aunt Addy's house next right?" Carl asked as he sat next to me. "I don't know why I am still awake and yes we are going to Aunt Addy's house tomorrow" I said. We talked to each other for several hours.

The next morning we went to Aunt Addy's house. Rebecca told Carl her secret to get everything she wants. She just asks grandfather Martin as he never refuses our any demand. Anyways we met our cousins Kylie and Justin and it was great. We went to the park with them. "Okay the first one to get to the basket ball court and get the ball inside the basket wins" I said to Carl. "Okay ready, steady and go" said Kylie and we both ran towards the court. We were both of the same speed but I increased mine as we were near the court. Grabbed the basked ball first and luckily I got it inside the basket in the first time. "Your good" said Carl. 4 Grabbed the basket ball first and luckily I got it inside the basket in the first time. "Your good" said Carl. "No I am lucky" I said. We both are not too sporty. We played around for awhile then went back to watch movies. We had ice creams and talked a lot. Then we stated drawing and my drawing is pretty good as my father's. Carl is also good at drawing too. We helped Kylie to make a doll house from a cardboard box . We went to sleep after wards. The next day we went to mall and played games there. Car was still sleeping and we have to babysit our cousins. Josh decided that we should wake him up. So we left Justin with Carl and as he is just 1 year old he started to play with him. Then we all entered the room and screamed good morning and he woke up.

We all went to aunt Kaila's house and met Lucy. She is sweet but is naughty also. We all had a lot of fun and our moms decided to go back to our grandfather Martin's house again. All the elders were talking and Carl and I were forced to sit with them at grandfather Martin's house. I thought that how fun it would be if Carl could listen my thoughts. Suddenly Carl looked at me and I heard his thought. He was thinking that did I just said something. I thought that if you listen me go out of the room now and I am coming with you. He did walked out of the room and we were shocked. We told Alexa and Austin and they both said that maybe it was because of the ring and the crown.

We returned to our palace at 13 January but something was following us from the past four days. As we found same kind of black gems where ever we went. We were in our garden with Austin and Alexa when someone attacked us. Austin was injured so we took him inside. I was using my magic but he was not healing. I got really worried and we were not able to think anything when I saw a knife. I took the knife and I cut my hand with it. As soon as my blood touched his head he got up. "Why would you do that?" said Austin as he saw my hand he grabbed it and healed it using his magic. "Well my magic heals you but it was not strong enough this time. We were born with magic which means magic would be in our blood so I thought that I could heal you and I was right" I explained. "Now stay quiet and take rest" I said. "You are controlling" he said arguing. "I know that" I said and we laughed.
