It's been 3 weeks since Kai and I ran away. I've been watching my family train, instead of me training I've been looking after Fe, he's about the size of water bottle now. My father was like a beast when it came to training it was amazing, he could lift about 2 tons of weight. My mum could release fire from her hands, my sister never missed her targets, my brother was strong he could left 1 ton, my dad says if he keeps training he will become stronger and more powerful than him. But, what I don't understand, how could they have been killed. It still isn't adding up, I'm starting to realise that Charlotte is a reliable source, for information. I believe I can change this story seeing the fact that I've met Lottie and Kai extremely early.

"How about you and I go on a father daughter date", my father said to me while my brother left breathing heavy on the floor. "ASMIN, you still got 100 push ups left to do. Come on baby girl", he said picking me up.
"Wait, I'm allowed to leave the castle"
"Yes, with adult supervision. Your mother and I had a conversation, we decided its not fair to have you locked up like this. It will do more damage then good. We, uh, thought that we were protecting you by keeping your existence a secret",
"Its okay Daddy. Can I bring Fe", I asked
"Yes, you may. I want you to know that the colour of your hair and you being seen with me will confirm that you are the reincarnation of the Phoenix spirit. You weren't supposed to be presented until your 16th birthday. However, you may be protected by the nobles if you're revealed earlier. But I want you to know your mother and I will always protect you. No matter what", My father said.

We were walking through a village, I could hear a lot of whispers as we passed by. "Look is that the emperor and empress third child", "Look at her hair. She must have strong spiritual powers and energy", "She must be the empress child, look her hair", "Her hair looks like fire", "She's so beautiful". Whilst my father carried me on his right shoulder I could see a crowd forming in the distances curiosity took over. "Daddy please may we go over there, where the crowd is forming"
"Anything you want, Ma", My father said chuckling to himself. We approach the crowd, I harsh words coming out their mouths, "Look at the little orphan", "Yeah where's your parents", "Look his clothes have holes in them", "ha, ha, your eyes are strange". Hearing the words of the other children brought me back to my past life.
Aria passed life (Aria is 7 years old)
I was covered in bruises and cuts, I began getting dressed for school, I could hear my mother in the background. When she was high she would get abusive, my father was at work when she would get like this. "ARIA GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW", I tied my shoe laces and walked into the Livingroom that was like the size of a shoe box. "If you had done what those boys asked you to do. I would have gotten my medicine. BUT you messed it up huh. WHY did you drop the medicine. HUH people need it when they're sick". I looked her in the eyes and walked out the door. School was a 10 long minute walk

Reaching the gate the school bullies stood "Oh woow. Your mum got you good this time", "My mum says to stay away from you because you know bad people", "I stay away because your clothes smell", "I bet she doesn't wash her clothes", "I bet you're the reason your mum takes 'medicine'".
"You guys are pathetic. Get a life", a boy said. "You guys are sad, really sad. I feel bad for you, the fact that you try to make some sad", said the boy. He emerged from the crowd, his eyes were grey. "Well leave I don't want to catch whatever evilness you have", the kids looked at him and ran away. "Hey I'm new, my names Cassie". I started laughing
"Cassie, isn't that a- "
"A girl name actually, my mother thought it was unisex. But I can't ask her why she gave me that name"
"Well, I guess you helped me out so. I'll show you around ... Cassie" I started laughing. I didn't know that later on, we would become best friends, I did develop a little crush on him, but I never told him, I was scared that it would ruin the friendship. I wonder what Cassie's life is like now.
Present time
"You guys are pathetic. Get a life" I said. There was a boy on the floor, his eyes were grey. "Cassie?"
"Who's Cassie" my father asked.
"Um sorry no I mistaken" I said scratching the back of my neck. "Dad could you let me down", getting down I helped the boy up he was slightly taller than me. He was staring me in my eyes not breaking eye contact, he had long navy blackish hair, his skin was tanned although it was dirty. "Don't worry. You're under the protection of the third Princess of the Pyro empire", unlike my old life I have privilege, power, I'm going to use it. "Daddy do the thing", I whispered to my dad.
"Anyone who is rude to this child, hurts this child. I'll take it personally. Is, that, clear", my father said with a cold tone, the crowd dispersed.
"Stay safe, okay. I hope we will meet again. Wait hold on." I turned to my father "Daddy, can I have my money please"
"Nix I -"
"Pleaseeee" I begged with my eyes. He placed the bag in my hands. "Here take this. This should be enough to get you by until you turn 11 then enrol into Pyro empires academy, if you find me I'll get you in". The boy stood up and refuse the money by pushing the money into my hands. "Fine if you won't take the money take my earrings", he smiled and took my earrings. He began walking away and said.
"I'll see you soon Aria. At school"
"Wait" before I could get him he had already disappeared. How did he know my name was Aria.
