Queen Minerva had suggested going ghost hunt because of the silver haired Bellamy saw earlier. She was certain it was her mother since she was the last person to be seen with silver hair till she went missing. She took her sons along because when she is gone, they'll take over the kingdom and they needed to know what they were going to face in the latter years.
" Mother we've not seen anything for the past three hours. It's almost dark. " Sebastian complained.
" Don't be such a lazy ass. " Archer scoffed.
" Shh. I hear something. " Queen Minerva said and they both kept quiet. " I'd come out quietly if I were you." She said coldly and a strong wind blew past. She stretched her hand forth and the earth gushed out water. The queen's power had to do with the elements of earth. She could change the climate and also keep a stable climate for years.
" Oh auntie. You don't have to drown us to prove your point. " Arleta said as she let down the invisibility magic.
" Arleta? Bellamy?" She called surprised. " Did you follow us?"
" I'm sorry mother. We were just curious. " Bellamy said putting on a sad face.
" Tyson?"
" She forced me to come with her. " He bowed his head slowly. After long debate at the palace, they finally decided to go with horses but using an invisibility magic and wind.
" Oh what do you do with you two? You disobeyed a direct order from the queen. "
" We're sorry. We were curious that's all. "
" Arrgh! "
..
They headed back to the castle after searching to a dead end. Bellamy went straight to Sebastian's room but met him already laying with a girl.
" Ahem! Sorry for interrupting." Bellamy said with a wide grin.
" What do you think you're doing? " Sebastian asked as hurriedly put on his shirt and the girl wore her robe before running out.
" This is different from the last one. What's her name? Ahh! Beatrix! This one's a bit spicy don't you think? " She asked as she sat on the bed.
" You're gonna enjoy it more than I do when you start having sex. I bet you'll have a different man each night. " He smirked.
" Eww. I can never be like you. " She pouted and he chuckled.
" You snuck out. " He said seriously.
" Are you going to lecture me again? "
" You know it's dangerous. Mother didn't let you come with us because she had her reasons. "
" What about my reasons? I want to see things too, Bastian. All my life, I've been locked up in this castle. I can't even go to school. I can't even go out with friends. I don't even have friends. And now that I finally have control, she won't let me go out with my family. "
" Bell, the queen only wants to protect you. "
" If locking me up is what you call protection, then I don't want it. I'll always be safe. She is being paranoid. "
" We're all being paranoid. But you are our only sister. We can't let any harm come to you. " He said and she sighed.
" I'm sorry. I would not try anything hasty again. "
" I talked to mother. She'll let us go outside fully as from tomorrow. "
" What? Really? "
" Yes. It's a family tradition actually which was supposed to take place when we were fifteen but since you.... "
" Had no control of my magic. We couldn't do it. Outside like live a normal life? "
" Yes. We have to sow our royal oats before we're fully sworn in as protectors of the realm."
" So what country would you like to go? "
" A country where royals don't need to be respected. "
" The United States! Oh it would be a dream come through. We're finally leaving this world behind. "
" For a while. But we'd better enjoy it while it lasts. " He said and they stuck hands together.
..
TWO WEEKS LATER.
NEW YORK CITY, THE UNITED STATES.
The royals had arrived about a week ago. Although leaving their kingdom behind in jeopardy was hard, they had to do it in order to get prepared for the harsh realities of life and fulfill all their dreams. With the demons coming back soon, God knows if they'll be able to do it if they didn't take this chance. Arleta was sad to see them leave but she had to endure it because she had the faith that they would return. Tyson was the only who followed them from Crusta.
" Good morning sunshine. Rise and shine, it's a beautiful day. " Sebastian said loudly as he raising the curtains making Bellamy to squeeze her eyes.
" What time is it?" She grumbled.
" Five."
" What? You woke me up at five?"
" Yes. It's almost eight silly and you my dear friend is going to late for school. " Sebastian winked.
" School?"
" Big brother had us registered in thus private university. "
" Why do we need a university? "
" Because we need to fit in. We can't sit here and do nothing but watch. We'll miss the fun. "
" Arrgh! I'm so tired. "
" Young lady better get your ass into that bathroom before I come help you do it. " Archer said as he walked into the room.
" I hate you! Wait is Tyson going with us?"
" Well of course he's your sworn protector after all. " Archer said and left the room with Sebastian."
" I hate you! "
..
The streets were juggling with different events. People were laughing, some were making out in the corners, some fighting, some eating but the most beautiful thing that caught the twins eyes were the students who were filing into school one by one.
Bellamy came out of the car with the boys and she stared at the beauty of the school. It was so different from schools in Crusta. It had beautiful tall buildings and beautiful gardens. Students of various statues, races and sanity were all trooping in.
" So different." Bellamy muttered.
" We're in the territory of the humans now. Everything is different." Sebastian said.
" Do you have any idea where we're supposed to be? " Tyson asked.
" Archer said to head to the vice chancellor's office. " Sebastian said.
" Well how do we know where it is? "
" We could ask around."
" Yeah, we could. "
" Hey, could you please direct us to VC's office? " Bellamy asked a girl who was passing by.
" Two buildings to your left." The girl said and she smiled.
" Thanks. "
" That was easy. "
" Why wouldn't it? She was probably trying to get your attention." Bellamy winked at Sebastian.
" No way! " He giggled.
...
" This is where you'll be holding your first meeting." The ex manager said as he stopped at the front of the conference room. Archer had been offered a job to be the new MD of the company since the manager was being posted to another country. The manager was a middle aged man probably in his late forties.
" Thanks for showing me around and teaching me." Archer said.
" You don't have to worry about it. I'll be here for three monte days and I'll teach all you need to know about the company and it's staff. " The manager said.
" Thank you Mr Ryan. "
" Please call me Ryan." He chuckled as they walked back to the office.
..
" That lecture was so boring." Bellamy exhaled after the class of four hours came to an end.
" I'd rather say it was quite interesting. The professor might seem a little bit tacky. " Tyson said.
" I'm hungry. I'll meet you later. " Sebastian said when a girl walked past.
" Don't do anything stupid." Bellamy eyed him and he chuckled.
" Do stupid things is my signature." He winked and walked away.
" Your.... "
" Don't even think about it. I thought we talked about this."
" I'm so sorry, Bellamy. Do you need something to drink? "
" Yes. Something hot. " She said and he left and came back few minutes later with two cups of coffee. " It's not hot enough. " She pouted.
" I'm sorry. It might gotten cold on my way. "
" I'll just heat it up. "
" Are you crazy? You can't use your powers here? " Sebastian said behind them.
" Thought you said you were hungry? " Bellamy scoffed.
" Girl had bad breath. " He shrugged." Bellamy, you don't ever use your powers in public. We're not in the royal palace of Crusta anymore. "
" Argh! "
" Either you take your coffee that way or you leave it. " He smirked and walked away.
" You can have it, Tyson. I'm not interested. " She said and he willingly took the cup from her.
" Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A girl who dressed half naked said as she blew her bubble gum but no one paid attention to her. " I guess I'm talking to ghosts now. How about I make you dumb?"
" How about you take your little ass back to where it belongs coz it clearly doesn't belong here. " Bellamy snapped.
" Did you just talk back at me?" She asked.
" Yes I did. Are you some god or something?"
" You dare talk back at me! Me! I'm the president's girlfriend. "
" Well aren't you shameless? " Bellamy mocked.
" Isn't it too early for your troubles Bianca? Leave the new students alone. " A girl with blonde hair said as she walked towards them.
" You don't want to be involved in this."
" As a matter of fact I do. Being the president's girlfriend doesn't mean you have to march around school and step on every toe you see. "
" You have got some guts, Flora. "
"I'm glad you think so. Someone needs to do something about you in this school anyway. "
" You just crossed a line Flora, I won't be nice next time. "
" I don't want you to. " Flora said daringly and Bianca scoffed before walking away.
" Sorry about that. I'm Flora by the way." She said with a smile.
" Bellamy. This is my friend Tyson. "
" Nice to meet you. She's rather arrogant. "
" I noticed. Is she really the president's girlfriend? " She asked.
" Was. He broke up with her while they were still in high school but she still parades herself as his girlfriend. "
" Oh president? As in president of the school? "
" Yeah. "
" I see. So who's his girlfriend now? "
" I don't think he has one. She hurt pretty bad. " Flora shrugged. " Well I'll catch you later. The students board have an impromptu meeting so we'll talk later. "
" Later. " She smiled.
" She's cute. Isn't she? " Bellamy asked Tyson when he's was gone.
" She is but my eyes are on someone else. "
" Really? Do tell. "
" I'm sorry but it's a secret for now. "
" Do spill it soon. I wanna see who this special girl is. "
" You will soon. " Tyson said and smiled inwardly.
" What did I miss? " Sebastian asked. He was holding a box of pizza.
" Nothing much. We have another class one hour from now. " Bellamy said.
" Whatever. I met a girl. "
" You always meet girls. "
" No this one's special. She has everything I need. She's bold, blonde, beautiful, sexy, name it. "
" Well I wish you good luck, sex freak. "
" Hey I'm not a sex freak. I haven't sex since we got here. "
" That's because you haven't gone out since we got here. This is your first time going out. I suppose you already have a girl you're going to lay tonight. "
" No. I told you I've met a special girl. "
" I'll be watching. "
After the last class, the three of them headed back home. They weren't sure of where they were going but they just kept walking. A car sped up behind them and stopped just before it almost hit them. " I told you guys to wait for me. " Archer said as he came down from the car. " Hey big brother. " Bellamy laughed awkwardly. " What part of wait for me did you not understand? " " We just wanted to go for a walk. " Bellamy pouted and he sighed. " And get lost. Sebastian really? " " Don't look at me. ". Sebastian said. " Get in the car. The three of you! Now! " He barked and they entered without questioning. " How did you find us? ". Sebastian said when he turned the car and went the other direction. Seems they were actually going the wrong way. " What do you mean?" " We've left the school for almost thirty minutes so how did you find us?" Sebastian asked again. " Did you really think I'd let you go out without keeping an eye on you? " Archer smirked. " You
Bellamy was taking a stroll in the school's garden when she noticed a girl being bullied by two girls. Her face had several cuts and her clothes were disheveled. " Just overlook and walk away. " She said to herself but she found her feet taking her there. " Stop." She said and the girls turned to her. " Oh it's the pathetic little newbie." Bianca said and cackled. " I'd mind my business if I were you. " " Well I don't want to. " Bellamy smiled evilly. " Then I'll beat you up too. " Bianca scoffed. " Do you hear that? So I'll run if I were you. " The other girl with brown hair said and Bellamy laughed. " No no no. You'll be the one to run when I'm done with you. " Bellamy said and pulled both their hairs. " Run." She whispered to the girl who was being bullied. " Ouch! Let go of my hair." Bianca cried but her grip grew tighter. She made them hit their heads before she released her grip from their hairs forcefully and they fell on their butt. , " Do you want some mor
" Cuzzy!" Arleta screamed and jumped on her. " Ouch! Get off me. " Bellamy struggled to get out of her grip. " Did you miss me? No, you don't need to answer that. I know you did. " Arleta gushed. " Who let you here? " " You did. " " What do you mean? " " You called me, don't you remember? " " I never called you. I don't know what you're talking about. " " Who is she? " Cole finally asked after watching them for a while. " She's........" " I'm her dearest cousin. You can call us sisters coz we're very close. Oh my! You're handsome." She said licking her lips and Bellamy scoffed. " We need to talk. " Bellamy said and pulled her back into the class. " Are you back to torment me again?" Bianca asked smiling cockily. " Shut up! " Bellamy and Arleta said at the same time and she fainted. " What in the seven heavens are you doing here?" Bellamy asked. " Like I said, you called me. I was going back home since the summers are over but I heard your voic
“ Do you think he's still mad at me?" Bellamy sighed. “ Knowing Sebastian I'm guessing he still is. I told you not to do it. " Arleta said. “ I know but I just wanted to prove him wrong for once. And I've made him get mad at me. The last time we were like this, it lasted....."“ For two months. Yeah I remember. You stole his doll." She said and Bellamy chuckled. “ He loved that doll even more than a girl. " Bellamy smiled. “ He's gonna be fine right?"“ Trust me, he'll come around. " Arleta smiled. The door opened and two heads peeped in. " Flora? “ Bellamy called. " Oh my gosh! You're my new roommate! “ Flora screamed and jumped on her. " I'm not going to alone anymore. “ She babbled and Bellamy chuckled. " I'm glad you're my housemate too. “ " Pathetic things. “ The other girl came in with her scoffed and Bellamy looked up. " Oh the pig's minion. Watch your back minion coz it's now three to one. “ Bellamy winked and Violet groaned before leaving the room. " I can't believe i
Lost coven was said to be a coven of witches, fallen witches to be precise. Witches who were chased out of Crusta for one crime or another. They came to the other world and formed a very powerful coven. They were a group of powerful mages and royals who committed treason and they were vengeful. They were the major reason why the royal teens couldn't perform magic so as not to attract them. But will this really work?Opening to the entrance of a massive building stood a woman in a long regal gown. She was holding a glass of wine in her right hand as she sat under the mini tree garden and watched the birds play. Another woman could be seen with her rubbing on a ball. “ Minerva must be stupid to send her children into the lion's den. " The woman holding the wine glass said and the other woman chuckled. " Makes me wonder if she had other plans. She knows we still hate her and this world would only make her children vulnerable. “ The second woman said and her eyes twitched. " What if sh
The next day, Bellamy went late because she had to wait on Arleta who kept changing every single dress she tried on. They had to kick her out when they got tired of waiting. Flora drove them in her blue Ferrari to the school ground. Immediately they came down, Violet and Bianca charged towards them with a mean face. “ What do they want now?" Flora muttered. “ You went to see him in his room. " Bianca yelled and poured a smelly liquid on Bellamy. “ The fuck!" Arleta muttered. “ Cole is mine. Any girl who tries shit with him will have it with me. This is just a warning dog." She said and turned to walk away but she was stopped by Sebastian who stared down at her with red eyes. “ Hey sexy." She said and bit her lips seductively. “ I don't hit girls. " Sebastian scoffed as he turned her and tossed her like a ball towards Arleta. “ Thank you cuzzy." Arleta smirked as she grabbed her neck. “ You dare mess with my baby." Arleta said as she glared at her with hatred. Violet tried to es
“ You fainted in the garden. " Jon said and Bellamy shook her head. “ Maybe it was the stress. Who knew school could be this stressful?" Arleta scoffed. Sebastian stood up and left without saying a word. “ What's up with him?" Cole murmured. “ He's upset. He'll be fine. " Bellamy smiled.“ You're awake! Thank heavens. " Flora exclaimed as she walked into the ward. “ We're fine. Thanks for waiting. " Bellamy said. “ We should probably get back to class. "“ The last class for the day is over. We should get to the hostel. " Flora said. “ How long were we out?" “ Two hours. " “ Wow!"..IN A DARK FOREST.A slender figure walked towards a bulgy man who sat on an hideous throne with his face down. His long red hair sprawled across his back. He had this evil smile on his face. “ My Lord." The figure said said and he raised his head revealing two hideous marks across his face. “ Good news? “ The man asked. " The princess still remains unfound my Lord. “ The slender man said and the
“ Peter! Peter!" Archer called as he searched the house for the five years old boy. He had made sure he locked the room before leaving for the office. He got back and was hoping to still find him in the room but he wasn't there. “ Uncle Arch!" Peter said as he hugged his legs from behind. “ There you are little buddy. " He said carried him. “ Where were you?" He said as he ruffled his hair before dropping him. " In the kitchen. “ He smiled. " How did you leave the room? “ " I found a spare key. Bellamy left it in the left drawer. " He said and Archer nodded. “ You know we keep you inside the house so no one except your auntie would find you. "“ I know. " He smiled. “ Do you want to have a taste of the dumplings I made?"“ You made dumplings." Archer giggled. “ What's funny?" Peter frowned. “ Nothing. Let's go taste those dumplings. " Archer smiled. Peter pulled him to the kitchen was as very neat. One would never know if someone cooked in there. He gave him a plate of dumplin
The palace halls were decorated with flowers and beautiful lights. It was the wedding ceremony of Princess Bellamy Storm and Prince Nicklaus Grey. Everyone and everywhere was bubbling with excitement for it was the excitement of the season. “ Your Majesty.“ Miranda bowed her head slightly as King Archer walked past her. " The princess is still being dressed. “" Send the maids out. I want to speak to my sister alone. “ Archer said and she nodded. " Out. “ Miranda said to all the maids in the dressing room. When they were all out, Archer walked in looking elegant. " Another royal wedding. “ Archer sighed and she giggled. " I know what you want to say, brother. “ Bellamy said. " I was so sad when you weren't there for my wedding..... Seeing you right now makes me feel sad and relived. I wish I could spend more time with you but now you're getting married. My little sister is a full grown woman. It's hard to let you go. “ He sniffed. " You're not letting me go brother. You're lettin
After forcing Bellamy into a red gown, they went to their separate rooms to dress up while Nicklaus stayed with her. “ You look beautiful." Nicklaus smiled. “ You've said that a million times. " Bellamy chuckled and he pecked her forehead.“ I'll say it over and over again. As much I'd like, I don't want to miss out again." He said affectionately. “ And you won't. You didn't miss out on anything. It was my decision not yours. So please do not feel guilty. There was nothing you could have done." She said and stared deeply immediately into his eyes. “ I love you Nicklaus. Nothing is gonna ever change how I feel about you. " She said slowly licking her lips seductively. “ If you keep doing that, we might just have to skip the ball for real. " He said huskily against her neck and she closed her eyes. “ I woukd love that." She moaned as he nibbled on her neck. “ Love what? " Arleta asked barging in unannounced. “ Get your ass up and let's go to the ball before we're too late. “ ...
It's been seven days since the birth of Prince Zoran. Rosemary was stronger thanks to Queen Minerva's herbs. They were praying for the circumcision of the prince. Sebastian had sent word of Bellamy's arrival and the whole castle couldn't wait to see the princess once again especially Queen Minerva. ...SEVEN DAYS AGO.Nicklaus helped Bellamy out of the water and he took her to where the others were sleeping. Sebastian was the first to sense her. It has always been in him to know when she was around since they were children.“ Bells?" He bat his eyelashes together as he stood up slowly. He opened his eyes and staggered at first when he saw Bellamy with Nicklaus. “ Baby brother. " Bellamy smiled widely. Her smile was the same but her aura ahd changed. “ Bells?" “ It is I, dear brother. " Bellamy said and pulled him in a hug. “ Look, I'm real." “ You're alive? You're back?"“ I'm not going nowhere. I'm back to stay forever. " She chuckled as he hugged her back. “ Bells. " He cried.
The thorough search for Bellamy's body began. It became fiercer when Rosemary narrated her vision. Everyone in the kingdom was at alert for the person who had taken the young princess. Rosemary's due date was almost near, so Archer had to stay with her and run the kingdom too. Queen Minerva was always at the garden since she came out of the room. It was as if she didn't hear the news of Bellamy's disappearance. “ Your Majesty, lunch is ready. " Miranda came to get her in the garden but she refused as usual. “ Let her be, Miranda. I'll ask the King to come speak to her himself." Cristin sighed. “ I hope he's able to. " ..THE FOREST OF THE DEADBellamy walked in the forest barefooted like she had no care in the world. Her body had long reunited with her soul the moment she disappeared from the cave. She came straight to the forest since it was the only place that felt like home. She had been waiting for days for someone to find her in the forest but no one came. “ Will they reall
It's been two weeks since Rosemary saw her last vision. She was near her due date but she felt uncomfortable. She always had this fear whenever she went to the midwife for checkups. “ Relax baby. It's gonna be fine. " Archer would always tell her but she still had this fear. She didn't tell them the whole truth about what she saw. In her vision, she was told that for one to live again, another must give her life. She didn't want to be the one who would go neither did she want her baby who would be the heir to the throne to leave too. “ Your Majesty. " Miranda said walking into her room. She had actually sent for her when she felt the usual uneasiness. “ You've had a baby when you were my age right?" She asked and Miranda stared blankly for a while before nodding slowly. “ Tell me, Miranda. Was it this painful?" “ Your Majesty.."“ Just tell me."“ It was uncomfortable and yes, it was painful when I had my baby. But every woman has her own hormones. Yours might not be painful. " M
“ Is she your mother?" Sebastian asked Bianca who had this blank expression on her face. “ I don't know. I don't even know what to believe again. How can my birth mother be this beautiful and I'm like this?" She feigned tears and Archer arched his brows. “ You're not sad coz she abandoned you, you're sad coz she's more beautiful." He said in belief. “ That too. I mean how could she leave me and still be more beautiful than I am?" She frowned. “ Your Majesty." Lady Celine bowed her head one more time waiting for Archer to talk to her.“ I didn't send for you, my lady. Your daughter did." Archer said and she stared at him confused. “ My daughter? You must be mistaken your Majesty. I don't have a daughter. Charles is my only son." Lady Celine said. “ Adopted." Charles muttered. “ We'll discuss this at the palace in two days. Come to the palace in two days." Archer said and she disappeared with Charles. “ Why did she disappear? “ Bianca asked. " What you saw was an illusion. She
“ Bianca are you sure you want to do this?" Arleta asked one more time when they got to the border. It was after dusk and the moon was almost out when they got there. “ Yes. They need us. " Bianca smiled. “ Just say you like Sebastian. " Violet scoffed. “ I like him. What's wrong about that?" Bianca said and Cole coughed. “ What?!" She glared at him. “ Isn't Nora coming to see you off?" Jeffrey asked Cole who said nothing. " Maybe she's still sulking. “ Arleta said. " I never wanted to leave her but Bianca's right. We were wrong leaving our family just a month after Bellamy's death. “ Cole sighed. " If she really loves you, she'll regret this decision. “ Bianca shrugged. " Cole! “ Nora called running to them. " She came!“ Cole smiled widely but her next words made his smile drop. " Don't go. Stay with me. “ She said and Arleta raised her left eyebrow. " What! “" Don't go. We've only been together again for just six months and now you want to leave me to stay with a family
“ Oh my God!" Bianca gushed happily. She wasn't expecting this kind of welcome. She had always been a bully right from middle school so she couldn't make more friends aside Violet. “ Dad? Violet? Jeffrey? Arleta! Oh my God! Cole! You're back. " She said and pulled both Arleta and Cole in a tight hug. “ Yes we are. And welcome back from Italy. " Arleta chuckled. “ I never knew I had so much friends. " Bianca said as she looked around in tears.“ Bitch what's the tears for?" Violet nudged her shoulders and she laughed. “ I missed you too, miss tiger." She hugged her tightly. “ Is Bellamy back too? And Sebastian?" Bianca asked when they had all settled in. Her father had retired to his room and left the youngsters to celebrate. The room suddenly turned gloomy when she asked the question and she wondered why. “ Guys I hope it's not what I'm thinking... Don't tell me.... “" Bellamy had to sacrifice herself to save the inhabitants of earth. “ Cole said. " And Sebastian is a now a sh
SEVEN MONTHS LATER.NEW YORK.“ Hey babe. Good morning. " Cole said as he stared at the beautiful face in front of him. She opened her eyes slowly and smiled when she saw him staring at her closely. “ Good morning handsome. “ Nora said and pecked his lips. " I'm so glad you're back in my arms again. “ He said. " Thanks to someone for bringing me back to you. “ She giggled. " Yeah, thanks to her. I wish she was here to experience all this. “ He sighed and she held his face. " Hey, she's happy wherever she is. “ Nora said and he nodded. " I hope so. “ Cole got back together with Nora a month after Bellamy's death. The border stood stronger than before but only members of the royal family could go between two worlds. The first thing he did when he got back was ask Nora out. " I really missed you baby. “ Nora said and claimed his lips. ...." Arleta! Arleta! Wait. " Jeffrey called running after her as she ran out of the house. “ Don't try to stop me Jeffrey. I need to kill her. "
