Kelsey
I was woken up by Drake gently shaking me and whispering things to get me to wake up.
I groggily opened my tired eyes and asked through a yawn, "Whatchu wakin me for?" My mate smiled and held up a small tray of food and orange juice. My heart fluttered in joy as I sat up, admiring what my mate brought.
"Breakfast in bed, that's what I'm 'wakin you up for'. Now eat up Beautiful, gotta get everything ready for the celebration tomorrow." I forgot what celebration and what it's for but I ignored my confusion and started eating, still sleepy. Since I got up my mate left to do I don't know what. He had brought me some amazing looking pancakes with syrup, some cooked egg and old style bacon. With the cup of orange juice, of course. When I finished it all I set the tray on the nightstand beside my side of the bed and got up to get dressed. I walked over to the giant wardrobe and selected a light blue princess dress, it wasn't super poofy but apparently it still resembles royalty. I got changed and headed down to the dining hall that's thirty times bigger than their one at the pack house. I walked through the dining hall to the kitchen to return the tray Drake used, along with all the dishes. The kitchen staff looked surprised to see me in the kitchen, since royals never return dishes let alone set a foot in the kitchen. Apparently.
"Princess Kelsey, how lovely to see you. What are you doing in here may I ask?" The head chef I assume asked as he bowed respectfully.
I smiled and answered, "I was just bringing these back, thought I'd save someone the trip."
"Oh my princess you didn't need to do that! It's our job to serve and collect dishes and such, you needn't worry about doing it for us."
"It's alright, I don't mind. Besides you're all busy preparing for tomorrow, just saving a bit of time. Now no more complaining." I responded, being joke-y serious at the end. The chef smiled and bowed again, I returned the smile and left the kitchen. On my way out of the dining hall I ran into Drake—and by ran into I mean he jumped out from around the corner—and he picked me up around the waist and spun me. I screamed a bit at first out of surprise then laughed and fake screamed about putting me back down. My mate laughed and finally set me on my feet again, leaving a hand on my waist.
"Did I scare you?" He teased, giving me a quick kiss.
I rolled my eyes but smiled and answered, "Obviously you butt. Geez."
"What were you doing anyways? I already fed you so why am I finding you here at the dining hall?" Drake asked curiously.
I gave a pretend guilty smile then told him the truth, "I was just returning the tray and dishes to save someone the trip, since they're all as busy as us preparing for tomorrow." Love and admiration shone in my mate's eyes as he stared at me. I looked away awkwardly and asked, "What..?"
He just smiled brightly and responded, "You're going to make a great queen." I faintly blushed and looked at my feet, not knowing how to reply to a compliment like that.
"S-shouldn't we get going on preparations?" I stuttered a little.
Drake continued smiling and answered gently, "Yeah, guess we should. Come on." He then kissed my forehead and held my hand as we walked to the throne room to ask his dad what he wants us to do. He set us on the job of making sure everyone is on schedule and making sure all is going good so far. Then when we're done that we have to double check the guest list and ensure we have enough seats and everything for everyone. THEN when that's done we can go help the maids check all the guest rooms to make sure they're all presentable to others. First we went to see how the food plans were going since we were just there, everything's going good in the kitchen. Next we checked on the decorations in the ballroom and how they were coming along since they have to be done before tomorrow.
"Hey Kat, how are those decorations coming?" I asked my friend who was head of the decorating stuff.
"Good I guess, would be better if it was more sparkly, would make it look hella more fabulous in here but oh well." She replied a little disheartened.
I slightly chuckled and responded, "Everything would be more fabulous with sparkle. As in glitter." She nodded with me, also wishing we could set of glitter cannons in here. Sigh... Only reason it wouldn't be worth it is being forced to clean it up... such a tragedy... Anyways Kat continued with decorating with her group of helpers.
"Let us know if you need help with anything." Drake said to his sister who nodded in response and continued with what she was doing. We then checked on everything else that we needed to, which took about an hour or so, then went for a quick break to lay down in Drake's room. As we went to get up, there was a knock on the door, we shared a confused look with each other and walked to the door to open it.
'Two new scents... with Jason.. weird.. How'd he even get here?' Drake mind linked me as we walked over.
'One smells almost familiar too... Let's find shit out.' I mentally replied back. Drake opened the door and we were shocked to see the people from my dreams, the chic who looks exactly like me.
"Skylar?" I accidentally asked out loud.
She looked surprised that I knew her name, but grew a look of defense and almost harshly voiced that surprise, "I go by Skye actually. You know my name? How?"
"Uh..... really creepy probably but I had a dream and then met some rude people, it was just a smart assumption after that." I replied awkwardly, still baffled she's actually real.
"Oh.. Cool. Um.. Probably obvious but uh... Merry Christmas I'm your sister you never knew about!" She awkwardly said, guess it is sort of a Christmas present since it's Christmas Eve today...
I guess I made a weird or concerned face because she added, "Don't worry, I'm not expecting a hug or anything. I'm not a hugger. Unless it's our brother but... yeah anyways. I—"
I frowned and interrupted, "I don't have a brother. He died when I was five, he was three and got ripped to shreds and found at some pond in a park." I didn't mean to but I let my pent up anger about it out in my voice.
She didn't react to the anger though and just looked confused then said, "Well.. The brother I know is very much so alive and a lot older than three, he's like fifteen. He's over at Trealle. I just saw him about two months ish ago." I was starting to feel extremely overwhelmed.I was in the same building as the brother I've always thought was dead?!
Drake growled, "Guess your mom never did tell you the whole truth huh?" The way he was looking at me reflected some of the anger I was feeling.
"If she's even our mom, there's a lot of complicated lies to sort out," Skye butt in, sounding annoyed about all the lying too. I felt my hands getting hot as fire started to form on them. The guy with my apparent sister looked a little bit startled, but Skye just looked at me like it was the coolest thing ever.
"Oh geez, do we gotta douse you in water again Kelsey?" Jason jokingly said, trying to get me to not be so infuriated. It kind of worked, mainly cause I don't feel like being in a dress and getting soaked through.
I rolled my eyes and growled, "No. Should douse mom in a fucking lake as big as her god damn lies." I then sighed and added a little happier, "Well, guess there is no denying we're sisters."
"We do look exactly the same, except for the eyes obviously. Well.. that and the haircut style but, those are obvious things," she responded.
I chuckled a little and meaning our eyes replied, "Yeah, wonder why that is though."
She thought for a minute then asked, "Well I mean, we're both shapeshifters. You can shift into any animal or object right?"
I furrowed my brows and answered "Noo.... Can you?"
"Pf yeah, name anything and I can be it. Least your mind won't be blown like— uh.. nevermind, but literally name anything and I can shift into it, you can't do that?" She asked curiously and a bit surprised.
I shook my head as I replied, "Nope. I can do other stuff though, got a power for each color in my eyes. Red is fire, as previously shown, I can control peoples actions which is orange. Yellow I can make electricity either by will or when I'm like scared or hurt. Green I can make plants grow anywhere. Teal I apparently, and I quote... jump on the ceiling like a scared cartoon cat," I went to continue but Drake and Jason burst out laughing their asses off at the memory of discovering that power. I sighed and went on, "anyways, blue is rain when I'm extremely sad. Indigo I can be invisible," I paused to demonstrate, which seemed to blow their minds, "and purple doesn't have a power, it's just royalty. Least that's what my dad said before I uhm... broke.. his neck....." Skye raised an eyebrow at me. "He was being a stupid jack ass okay? Leave me alone." I muttered, crossing my arms and acting like a two year old.
She raised her hands in mock surrender and replied, "Aight. Those sound like really cool powers, probably a good thing I don't got that fire one.... Many people would be dead by now....."
The guy she's with gave her a look I couldn't quite understand, but I chuckled and said, "Oh believe me, it sucks not burning the school down to kill all the morons."
"FUCK I KNOW RIGHT!" She exclaimed pretty loudly.
Drake shushed her and said, "Not everyone here knows them swears. Geez."
"Fuck sorry." Skye said, I couldn't tell if she was joking or serious. I like her, creepy to be talking to someone who looks exactly like me but I like her.
