"My prince you just can't use your magical powers in the court as the king said" said Frank.

"Father wants me to stop doing something that is in my nature, in my body, how I am supposed to stop something which is part of my flesh and blood" he said while crossing his arms.

 "But my lord the court..." Frank tried to say something but he stopped him in the middle.

 "Frank, I don't care what the court will say about me being different, I can't help it, I was born this way," he said while looking at himself in the mirror.

"The king wants you to be normal as you are the crown prince and upcoming King, if any of them will know that you are one of those trial executes you never become a king my lord or worse they will kill you" he said looking concerned.

"How dare you talk about me like that, Frank? I am still a crown prince, aren't I?" he said angrily. Frank bowed to him and said "I am sorry my lord I did not mean to offend you all I was doing my duty, now if you don't offend could we go to the court as everybody is waiting for you".

He walked towards the door proudly while Frank stood up from his bowed back and gave him a sigh.

 "I hope my lord you will soon understand why I am stopping you from doing magic".

******

The court was full of crowd; all the nobles from the countries and the allied countries were sitting there. He entered the court proudly and sat beside the king. The king had given him a sigh like he was saying "No magic" and he started looking away.

 "So gentlemen we are gathered here for this wonderful day in order to make an announcement, I fix an engagement between our crown prince Somerzex John Howard and lady hazel of gardenia" said King Ralph smiling. Somerset, who was not ready for this, looked at his father in disbelief.

Everyone in the court clapped. He sat there because he was forced to. He looked at his mother who was looking at him. After the court meeting was over, he went to his mother.

"Mother, what is happening here? I can't marry her, you know why" he said angrily.

"You are the upcoming king and you know you have to get married," she said without looking at him.

"Mother you know what i am, you know I can't expose it, do you want me in hiding for eternity?" He said while looking at himself in the nearby mirror.

This was his mother's favorite mirror, since his childhood he saw this mirror in her room. "I know your condition Somerset but I can't help you, you know why" she said calmly.

 "Mother in all my life you both wanted to hide my true nature and now you betrothed me with someone who should not know what I am" he said while looking at her mother's reflection. He had the same dark brown hair as hers’, but he has his father's electric blue eyes.

He was angry. "Mother I have always thought when I am going to marry her. I will tell her what I am, instead of hiding" he said sadly.

"I can understand you son, but we can't help it. You know in order to make our kingdom strong we have to betroth you with a nearby kingdom, '' she said sadly, as she walked ahead and hugged her son.

 "Mother, all I wanted was a normal life, why am I not normal like you and dad? '' he said sadly. She remained quiet.

"Mother, I have always asked you why I am like this, '' he asked, "And I told you we don't know, '' she said calmly.

"Time to go, I have to do something urgent," she said and turned to her mirror. He knows there are no further talks so he left.

After he left she turned and looked at the door. "I am sorry my son, I can't tell you that I am sorry," she said sadly.

******

He walked out of the castle and went to the woods. He always goes there when he does not feel well. He was walking inside the jungle and sat behind the tree and watching the stars.

"Hi there, you all are the same, how does it feel to be in the same uniform, unlike me, a different being? '' he whispered. Suddenly he heard the sounds of fallen leaves, he turned and it was a very beautiful brown cat. It was walking to him. She stopped and sat beside him. He wants to share his thoughts with someone, so he put the cat over his lap.

 “Hey little cat, it's nice to meet you, at least you got a perfect life instead of hiding yourself and becoming something you are not" he said while laughing sadly.

"Meow," said the cat. It was as if she was bored. He let her jump out of his lap, he thought she would go away, but instead she stayed.

 "Why don't you go?" he asked but she stood there. Then he got up and started walking away. But it was following him, he turned to look but she never left "Never mind" he walked ahead and lifted it up and brought it to the castle.

******

He was walking inside the castle with the cat when he passed by the king. He first looked at his son, then the cat.

"Now you started bringing forest wildlife into the castle, you are the future king, so behave like one," he said, annoyed.

"Father I am behaving like a king, at least this is one thing I did by my own wish, have a good night my king” he said and left. King Ralph was looking at him like he was trying to understand what he just said.

"So you have met my father" he said to the cat, it said "Meow" instead. He rolled his eyes.

He rang the nearby bell to call his maid. A short height girl came, she was wearing a maid gown, and she had long red hair.

"Yes my lord" she said while bowing. "Bring me some milk Meg," he said. She left while nodding. "I will arrange a bed for you tomorrow, Oh forgot to name you” he said. "How about Sparkles?" he said. The cat "Meow" "I knew it you like it" he said happily.

Meg had brought the milk. The cat started drinking it as it was hungry for years. "Slow down you little lion" he said and turned to his window. Just then Frank entered the room.

"My lord King has arranged a ball for you and lady Hazel, it is tomorrow" he said. Somerzex took a deep breath. "I will be ready" he said, Frank had bowed to him and left.

He turned to sparkle who had already drunk the milk. He lifted it up and took it to the window. The whole town was celebrating the crown prince's engagement. He took a deep breath.

"Have you ever done something you really never wanted to have? '' He put it on the window and turned. He lifted one of his fingers and snapped the candles nearby him lid up and then he snapped again. The cat was looking at this and it said "Meow".

"I know it's different and dangerous during this era, when Salem witches are being hunted down, but sparkle, this is who I am. I was born this way. I asked my mother so many times why I have magic, but she always says she doesn't know," he said, looking sad.

The cat jumped out of the window and rubbed its head over his leg. He lifted it up and said "I like you too".

Today was a ball. He got prepared at the time. He turned to sparkles and said "You have to stay here sparkle as you won't be allowed there" he said. Sparkle walked to his bed. He smiled and walked outside.

The ball room was crowded, everyone was dancing. Women were wearing colorful gowns. He walked ahead. His fiancé was standing with her father. She was black haired, medium height girl. She was wearing a blue gown.

 "Go and ask for a dance" said his mother in his ear. He walked slowly and bowed "Can I have a dance with you" she nodded and they went for a dance.

"So what do you like in sport?" he asked. "Nothing much, I instead enjoy having a tea party with my friends," she said.

"Do you like books?" he asked, "No not really" she said.

"Do you like to play music?" she asked, he nodded.

"What do you play?" she asked, "Piano," he said.

 "Radius, what are you doing here? It's your nephew's ball. You should toast a drink" said the King.

"Yes, your majesty," said Radius. "You have always been lazy brother" said the king and walked away. Duke Radius was his younger brother and third in line for the throne.

He was dancing and asking her questions, trying to find anything, any interest they shared, but they were totally opposite. He talked until all the questions were done and then he remained quiet. In a minute of time he noticed a chandelier up above their head, lost the ceiling and fell. He raised his hand and the chandelier stopped in the middle of the air. Everyone in the room gasped.

"I told you not to use your powers' ' said the king angrily,

"Father I have saved her and mine life" he said while crossing his arms. The door opened and Frank came in. There was tension over his face.

"My lord, the town's people are out, they want to take the prince," he said, afraid.

 "What? No it can't be'' said the queen.

"I won't let anything happen to my son, '' she said, afraid.

"Diana, I want you out of this, I have to go outside" said the king.

"No my lord you can't go, people are hungry for blood" said Frank.

 "Frank, you should not forget I am still the king," he said angrily.

"My lord you can't handle it, the truth is already out" said the queen sadly.

"Diana no!" he said in disbelief.

 "This is the only way, '' she said calmly.

"I have a way to keep our son safe," she said.

"What way? '' asked King Ralph. She smiled and turned to her mirror. Just then they heard the cat's sound "Meow".

 "Sparkles” said Somerzex.

"What are you doing here?'' he said and lifted it up.

Diana turned and looked at the cat and her expressions changed. She smiled and took Sparkles from Somerzex.

"Long time no see," she whispered. The cat was about to say something but she stopped him.

"Listen, I don't have proper time Julius, I want you to go with my son,'' she said.

Somerzex who was unable to understand said "Mother, its Sparkles not Julius and why are you talking to a cat like that"

She and the king smiled at the same moment. "He will tell you everything soon, '' she said."Now do as I am telling you to do, come over here and hold Julius in your arms, I have to cast a magic spell here" she said and for Somezex it was like a bad dream.

"You and magic mother?” he asked. “How can you do magic?" he was shocked.

"Julius not now" again she said to the cat. "Mother, what's happening? '' he asked. But she didn’t heard and pushed him in front of the Mirror and cast a spell.

Into the mirror I cast you

Only to be out when it be

The sacrifice has made for you

Let it be so mote it be

He felt his body drifting away and until he lost consciousness.

Present Time

Ringggggggggg

"Oh no I am late again" she said and got up in a rush; she went to the bathroom and got ready in 10 minutes. She went down to the Kitchen. Her Brother Andy was eating a sandwich. She sat down and filled the glass with milk.

"You are late again, lazy bump, '' he said while biting into a sandwich.

"Stop calling me that Andy" she said angrily. He gave her a mischievous smile. "Where are mom and dad?" she asked.

"Fighting as usual, I sometimes wonder how I was born . They spend more than half of the day fighting, '' he said calmly.

"Paul? how many times I have told you kids are not only my responsibilities, it's yours' too, if Kylie is being unsuitable and unorganized at school, then you should also pay proper attention to her'' her mother Linda said angrily, they were so a loud that the siblings could hear them.

"She is nothing like Andy, I am afraid the creep of your family has this gene" said Linda. "Oh  stop blaming me" he said while screaming.

"What have you done again?" asked Andy. "I had a fight with a cheerleader, actually she was bullying me. I was done with her shit so I answered her with a gesture but she had gone to the teacher.'' she said while showing him middle finger.

"Whoa that's positive, at last you took steps for your progress" he said smiling. "But look, my parents are still not happy, it seems like it's the same'' she said.

"Oh come on sister, they always are the same, it's not your fault, and you are perfect in any way Kylie and trust me you look better" he said smiling.

"If some girl like me had a crush on you and she secretly admires you, will you accept her? '' she asked. He gave her a sigh.

"Listen sister if you are talking about Luke, you just can't be with him, he is not the perfect one for you, and I am damn sure there is someone good for you somewhere" he said calmly.

"Yeah and all I need is to be changed and that's the problem I don't know what to change '' she said angrily. She took a deep breath and got up.

 "I am done with the drama Andy" she said and turned to leave. "Wait Kylie, let's go together today" he said smiling, she nodded. It has been a while since they went together as Andy has been busy with his own personal commitments.

******

They entered the school, "Well Well look who is it a loser" said Emilia. "A loser and the laziest person on the planet, she is late again," said Oscar.

 "Hey Andy how you never felt ashamed that she is your sister as you are the 2nd coolest boy at school" said William who was standing next to Luke who didn’t looked up, he was typing over his phone. Kylie felt really embarrassed as they were bullying her in front of Luke who happens to be her crush. Andy walked ahead to beat William's ass but Kylie had put her hand over his shoulder to stop him,

"No Andy I don't want any drama here, let them" she said softly.

"That's your fault sister, why don't you let me speak for you if you can't" he said angrily, there were tears in her eyes and Andy always hated to see her sister cry.

She walked away slowly. Andy turned and punched William really hard over his face. "This one you deserve to be a jerk," he said and walked out. No one can beat or say anything to Andy as he was an infamous school guy.

She went to the Library; it was a place where she felt calm. She had grabbed her favorite book by William Shakespeare Hamlet, She was reading it, but she was unable to concentrate on the book. She was thinking about herself. She was indeed good looking, but the miserable life and sadness has made her so dull. She was not taking proper care of her.

******

After half an hour after her class her Phone rang. She had grabbed her Phone and picked it up, "Yes mom?" she said. "I need you both at home ASAP. Our distant relative Aunt Lana has passed away" She heard Linda's voice from the other side.

"Okay mom" she said and hung up the Phone. She went to look for Andy when she came across Luke; he was with his cheerleader girlfriend Emilia. She whispered something in his ear and he left.

Kylie walked forward towards her locker without looking at Emilia. Emilia gave a very nasty and mischievous smile. Kylie had opened her locker and locked away her stuff in it. She had walked to find her brother. Luckily she had found him in the fields.

 "Andy Mom called and said she wanted us to go to the funeral" she said aloud. Andy turned. He had a lot of features like hers, he was tall, and he had green eyes and brown hairs just like Kylie's.

"What is it? Everything okay?" he asked. She nods in yes. "Give me a one second", he turned and kissed his girlfriend goodbye.

"Let's go" he said.

They were walking home when she asked "So are you serious with Lydia" he laughed very hard.

"No she just a fling nothing more" he said, while she rolled her eyes. "You and your playboy abilities" she said while he laughed.

Aunt Lana died at the age of 88, she died of natural causes. She was her relative from her father's side.

"Excuse me, as you are the last remaining relatives of the deceased, so she had left a will for you" said Lawyer Patrick to Linda.

 "We already have everything and she was so poor. What she had left for us?" said Linda nastily.

"I am afraid, Miss Allen, you have to take it or else we have to auction it off" he said professionally.

"You can au...." Linda was about to say but Kylie had stopped her in the middle "I am interested to see what it is" she said.

Linda opened her mouth to say something but Andy stopped her by pressing her hand "Let her mom, it's her free will if she wants it, plus its father’s ancestors’ stuff he doesn't care at all so he never came, but she wants it so let her take this" He whispered.

“Anyways, I don’t care, what she takes or what not” said Linda apathetic. Kylie had gone inside the house with Patrick.

"Here it is" he said, it was something big hidden by huge curtains. He walked ahead and put off the curtains. It was a huge mirror.

"Whoa, it's fascinating," she said. The mirror was not looking old; it had no date on it. It was golden and it had seashells around it.

She walked ahead and touched its surface. "It's beautiful Mr. Patrick" she whispered.

"You are the owner of this mirror, Miss Kylie," he said, smiling.

"Me?" she asked. "Yeah, your relative had made a will for you not your father" he said, smiled and left.

******

She got up early in the morning, she got ready and went to the Kitchen, and Andy was also there.

"Whoa on time finally" said smiling, she smiled back.

"Want go with me to school?" she asked.

"Sorry I have to take Jane with me" he said while apologizing.

"It's okay, next time" she said smiling and went to the main door.

She opened the locker, it was usually a boring day, but something strange happened today, there was a letter in her locker. She opened it, "Hi Kylie! you are the most beautiful girl I ever see, Are you coming prom with me Luke, if yes then you know where to find me" she read the letter again and again, and then again.

"Is this a dream Luke is asking me?" she said excitedly, she was so happy she forgot he is Emilia's boyfriend. She went to the field, today was the match, and Andy was also in the football team, the match started.

After the match she decided to talk to Luke. Luke was tall dark curly haired and tan guy with black eyes. He and the team were celebrating when she went ahead and said "Luke its yes".

"What yes?" he asked, confused.

"Your question about the prom, I am ready to go to prom with you" she said excitedly. Andy was also shocked. "No No what she is doing" he whispered and left Jane to stop his sister.

 "I am going at prom with you?" he said while half laughing. Her smile faded away.

 Emilia also came and stood beside him with an evil smile over her face. "But you said in a letter that you are coming with me," she said, disbelieving.

Andy had come and stood beside her "Kylie what are you saying?" he whispered but she did not answer.

 "Listen I don't know what you are talking about but I am going with my girlfriend" he said while pulling Emilia closer.

Kylie never had felt this bad in her entire life. There were clearly tears in her eyes. Andy looked at his younger sister, she looked back at him and he knew it was the last nail in the coffin.

She was broken completely and he was afraid of this. She turned and ran out of the field. She threw the letter there, He took it and read it, he went ahead to beat Luke "You little dumb head how dare you to break my sister’s heart" he said and punch him over his face, Luke got up and punch Andy and they had very rough fight.

******

She went to her room and locked herself inside the room. She slowly sat down and started crying, ``why does this always happen to me?" she said while putting her fingers in hairs. "I hate myself," she said, crying. Just then she got up and grabbed her sharp nail trimmer "I will end this" she said and almost cut off her vein, when she heard a very strange whisper.

"Hey don't young Lady killing yourself is a sin" she turned and the nail trimmer fell off her hand.

"Who is it?" she said but the voice did not come back, she looked inside the mirror she brought from her deceased relative. She watched her eyes, it was like her own reflection was looking at her, just than she felt her green eyes turning to electric blue, she got startled, then she turned and walked towards her bed, "It’s like I am having hallucinations, can't die properly even " she said to herself and went to her bed.

******

In the middle of night, Andy came to her room, but she had already fallen asleep. He looked at her sadly and said "I am sorry sister" and left.

After he left the whole room illuminated with white light, everything was so light, like angel lightning.

******

She got up late in the morning; she didn’t want to go to school. She turned to the other side of her bed. Still eyes closed she looked for a pillow but instead her hand touched something very hard, it was like a human arm, first she thought she was dreaming, but then she opened her eyes, it was some unknown man on her bed. She got up and screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
