AZURA: Chapter 1
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I am Azura. The only goddess of two elements. Fire and water.
Ooops...... Right introduction, wrong timing.
****************
"This is not gonna be a great day". This was all I could say to myself.
Somehow deep down, I could just feel that something huge was gonna happen today.
It was the same gut feeling I woke up with the day I lost my parents to a ghastly car accident.
I was a hundred and one percent sure, that crazy things are gonna happen today.
Was it instinct? Or maybe what I saw when I looked at my reflection in the mirror this morning?
Or both?
Oh well...
I've always been that weird girl. When I was a child, I used to see things. Imaginary creatures. Although I stopped seeing them as I became older, so my parents and I would always joke about it.
"They are just a child's imaginations"
But were they really?
I sighed.
This isn't gonna be a great day
My heart did a flip for the hundredth time that morning and I sighed again.
As I walked to school, that feeling kept growing.
I would have just skipped school today, but besides the fact that I have a chemistry test, there was a strong force compelling me to get to school as soon as I could.
Shivering, I increased my pace, mentally blocking off the car honks, shouts of hawkers on the streets. I hate noise.
I could feel myself panicking a little as I got closer to the school gate.
But I guess I should just go and get the day over and done with. Shouldn't I?
Que sera sera.
"Elle!"
I smiled for the first time since I woke up that morning and turned to see my friend Rachel, waving from the school canteen.
Heaving a sigh of relief, I waved back with a smile. If there was anyone that could make this crazy day easier to get by, it was Rachel.
I waited for her as she took whatever she bought from the old lady, and came running to me with a huge smile.
"Bread and soft drinks again? Really? Whatever happened to real food?". I teased her and she laughed, hooking her arms around mine and dragging me towards our class room.
I noticed a few glances... Stares directed to me and I smiled.
I'm sure my fellow students were wondering what the hell I was doing in school, wearing a thick head scarf and black sunglasses.
They would be shocked to find out.
When we both got inside our class room, everyone turned to give me a look. Some giggled, while some just gave me hard stares.
I heard some whispers of "weirdo".
They had no idea.
however i ignored them and sat down on my chair.
"So why are you late? Mr Abdul already came in. He will be here very soon for the test." Rachel said from her seat besides me and I nodded.
"Then later, after the test you can tell me what's up with the head scarf and sunglass".
She said again, biting into her bread.
I rolled my eyes, although she couldn't see it.
"Yes mum".
A few minutes later, our chemistry teacher came in for the test.
Followed by more teachers, till it was time for our lunch break.
Luckily none of them bothered to spare me a glance.
"Okay Ella, let's talk".
Rachel said tapping my shoulder.
I flinched and shut my eyes tightly.
How the hell was I supposed to explain this to her?
I sure as hell needed to talk to someone about this freaky shit, else I'll go crazy.
The problem is, how do I tell her without making her freak out?

"Come on"I grabbed Rachel's hand, dragging her to the dark closet behind our class room. When we got there, I locked the door leaving us in darkness."Okay Ella, what's wrong? Are u okay?. This place is very dark, so let's just go outside and talk"Ignoring her, I bought out my phone from my breast pocket and switched on the torchlight, so she could see what I was about to show her."Ray, I'm gonna show you some crazy stuffs right now, but promise me you won't freak out. Please, I already did enough of that.""What's going on Ella? Just spill it. I'm getting worried" And I could hear the worry in her voice."Well, remember the dreams I told you about?" Rachel nodded."The crazy dreams you have been having for the past few days. Yeah I remember, so what happened?" "I don't think they are just dreams." I said and shivered immediately at the thought of what I was about to reveal to her."What do you mean?""Well, I woke up this morning to something else Ray." Breathing in and out heavi

I screamed, almost jumping out of my skin and stood up immediately, looking around the dark room.I thought I was alone.Of course I am."Who's there?" I whisper, my heart beating faster."Calm down and listen to me" The voice said again. Somehow it seems like it is in my head."Listen attentively princess. You can't see me because I'm not there. I'm home. I'm currently communicating in your mind"In my mind?Is this day going to get any worse?.However I decide not to freak out, to at least see where all this is going to.Because I really need answers. Desperately."Okay, so who are you? And why are you in my head?. Wait...better question. How on Earth are u in my head?""We share a bond Azura. I can communicate with you through that bond". The sweet voice said again.Is that really necessary?That happens in real life?"Well okay. That makes total sense" I said, sarcastically and very angrily."How about you pause your questions for later and work on that temper boiling in you. You

EDWARD**********I woke up panting and sweating despite the cold temperature of the room.Son of a......Getting up from the bed, I switched on the light and went to the drawer to search for my phone. I'm very sure I left it here last night.... Yup, I did.4:35am.I cursed again. When was the last time I had this nightmare? They stopped years ago, so why today again?I picked up a polo to wear and shivered at the vivid memory of the dream I just woke up from.The image was still still as clear as day.A burning car.... The screams, still ringing in my head, as if it was just yesterday.Agonizing screams of my parents and the king, cries of a new born baby as they all burned to nothing, along the car they were riding in.It is 18 years already. But that experience is something I can never forget for the rest of my life. Not just me, but the four princes who lost just as much as I did. I picked up a little box from my desk and headed downstairs to the kitchen, knowing I'll find the

Crazy.....That is the only word that I can use to describe this day. Just crazy.I stepped into my one room apartment and locked the door behind me, throwing my bag on the bed.I picked up the little picture frame on my desk and sighed, staring at one of the few pictures I have of my parents.The picture was taken one month before their death."I'm so confused right now. If only you two were here, I'm sure I'd get more answers. Like how and where u found me"I wonder if that question will ever be answered.Everything is still so hard to process, even at this moment.Lily had explained as much as she could, but with each answer to my questions, the worse I felt.Eighteen years of my life, all a lie. My life is a total joke.From being a magical princess, to having a family that I never knew about.Well at least I have their names now, thanks to Lily.My mum is Norah, my brothers, Micah, Tony then my twin brothers Jacob and Jason.I'm a triplet. Oh wow...A whole new family, and I can

"Who are you?"The lady just smiled again before answering."My name is Annabelle, I'm your aunt. Can I come in?"My aunt?..... My aunt, like the good aunt Lily told me about? How did she find me?.Rachel was just looking at the lady with an opened mouth."Hey Romeo" I snapped my fingers in her face. "Your jaw dropped"That had her shutting her Mouth and smiling."I'm sorry for staring, it's just....you are really pretty ma'am. You look like you came down from heaven"She said,The lady....my aunt giggled."Thank you my dear. You are very pretty too. I love your figure" that had Rachel blushing.I rolled my eyes and opened the door wider for her to come in. She did and I locked it."I never believed it when the boys called me" The lady began, staring at me with a wide smile. "Like, how is it possible? I never believed it. But look at you Melody... You are alive. You are alive after 18 years" taking out a white handkerchief out of....nowhere, she dabbed at her eyes sniffing dramaticall

30 minutes later, and my bag was already all packed.Rachel and I had agreed that the apartment would remain because I would obviously visit once in a while. At least, I hope so."Are you ready?" My aunt asked, coming to my side with a smile."No I am not, but let's just get it over with.""So how's this going to work?" Rachel chipped in. "You know... the portal thing.""I just open a portal that should lead us directly to the Palace, which is usually impossible if I wasn't a member of the Royal family". Aunt Anna explained."Why is it impossible?" I ask"Well, because the palace is guarded by a very strong ancient magic. Outsiders can't come in unless they are permitted. "With that, she turns away from us, towards the wall, and just snaps her fingers three times. Suddenly there was light. Right in the wall was a bright opening... a hole of some sort, similar to the one Doctor Strange opens in Avengers."Oh my God." Rachel gasped excitedly..."This is awesome. So what you guys just ha

Few minutes later, I lay back on my bed, willing myself to sleep but I couldn't. Maybe because I was excited, or maybe because I was scared that once I closed my eyes, I'd wake up again in my room...a normal orphan and all this would turn out to be just a wild dream.With a sigh I got up from the bed and walked over to the massive shelf that had my birthday gifts in it and smiled. What would it have been like to grow up with these boys?It doesn't matter though. I'm here now, with my real family.Somehow that brought close tears to my eyes. Real family.... What about my parents? If I was born in this enchanted world how did I end up in Nigeria? How did they find me?Surely there was a very huge part of this story that I was missing.My eyes caught a picture on the shelf and I picked it up. She was a very beautiful lady... She looked just like me, but with dark hair and although she looked tired, she was wearing a big smile as she stared down at the three kids on her lap.That must be

We were all still talking in my room, I forgot I hadn't had breakfast and apparently, so did my lovely brothers.I enjoyed just sitting here having a conversation with them, they were all lovely in their own way and I could get used to the attention they were giving me.The way Jason and Jacob always want to sit by my side as if they were scared that I'll be lost again was really adorable."I'd love to go see Lily" I blurted out as they were still arguing about who was supposed to take me to the training ground later that day.Tony looked at me confused."Who's Lily?" Jason asked."Well you know? Beautiful voice in my head...." I whisper and their eyes widen."What the hell? You already bonded with your spirit guide? We had no idea" Jacob said and I frowned. Was I not supposed to?"Well it's actually normal for her to. Since she's already awake" Tony explained calmly "Her name's Lily?""Uhm...yeah that was what she told me." I answered and he nodded "I can't imagine how you must hav

How was a girl supposed to act when she has to face her brothers for the second time in her life early in the morning?I don't even know what to wear, what to say or how to act. Of course we met last night, but it was already late and we had already spent a few hours together.Shit is about to get really real here.I actually needed to start going downstairs though, because I had lots of questions I had to ask them, especially about our mother and our powers.I rummaged through my bag and picked up a black short and red T shirt and smiled nervously.What exactly is the right dress code for a princess around here? Will this be okay?Cut yourself some slack Rosella. You are new to this...you will eventually settle in. I admonish myself but that didn't help my nerves in the slightest way. This is all too much. My brothers have been princes all their lives while I was just a poor regular girl.How on earth am I supposed to meet their standards? I'm just me. What if they don't like me or
