Disappearing acts

 My head hurt when I opened them. I was face down and covered in dried blood. My blurred eyesight cleared and I got the stamina to rise up.
The room was in a mess. All the glassware left as smithereens. Dad was on the floor. A huge shard of glass embedded in his chest. I forgot the state the room was in and rushed to his side.
"Father!"
I put a finger to his nostrils and felt them turn moist. 
He was still breathing.
I tore his shirt open to see how deep the glass went.
I took a sigh of relief when I discovered it wasn't near his heart but still it could still cause collateral damage. He wouldn't heal.
I needed help.
My mind raced on how quickly I could get help. It was either Frank came here as quickly as possible but then my mind went to the vampires.
My father groaned, spitting blood.
"Room 45."
I dashed out of the room and spiraled up the stairs to get to room 45.
My fist hits the wood a little louder than normal.
The door opened and an Asian girl showed up. Her hair a ponytail and her lips crimson red.
"Do you want to see Rose?"
"Yes."
The girl shut the door and a moment later it was opened again.
Rose.
"Rose, I need your help—My father—a shard—" I mumbled incoherently.
"It's ok." Rose pacified, hugging me.
I took the little time I had left to release myself. 
"I don't want him to die." I wailed.
"He won't," Rose promised.
"Take me to him." 
I quickly organized myself and led Rose to Kristy's apartment.
***
"How did this happen?" Frank asked seeing my Father unconscious but now stable. 
Rose had fed him some of her blood and he was slowly regenerating.
"I called you for that. Well...Lucia Amore showed up."
His expression conveyed it all.
"What! Did she do this?"
"No!—Yes! She was afraid."
"But that doesn't what she did right. You could have died! And—how did she manage telekinesis. It's not a gift I should be able to harness."
Frank was right. Nature was the gift we could harness.
Air, Earth, water, and fire. Powerful faes like the Tresk could harness spirit.
The only means a fae could use to protect him or herself was the use of Fireballs siphoned from nature and turned kinetic.
The best they could do was injure but Lucia could have killed my father, It wasn't Nature.
"We have to inform the court." I declared.
"Yes. We will but how did she leave?"
"Teleportation."
Immediately I said that it rang a bell.
Before I blanked out, Lucia teleported and the look on her face was one of certainty. She knew what she was doing.
The image of Kristy in the CCTV camera. Kristy might have been hasty but she had that same look.
"The elite Fraternity."
"What's that?" 
"A fraternity both Lucia and Kristy belonged to."
Frank got the message quickly and dailed a representative in the court to book an appointment for me.
He also sent info to the technical to find out more about Lucia's friends.
"Thank you so much." I appreciated him for what he was done.
He didn't really have to be there for me but he was and I would be forever grateful.
"Our appointment has been set. We have a go for 4:00 AM."
How long have u been out?
It was 3:20 already and I had no time to freshen up. I had to make a quickie to get dressed.
"Could you please turn?" I asked Frank kindly before getting rid of my top.
Lucia was going to pay for ruining my favorite top. I knew the blood would never come off no matter how much I tried.
Frank turned, his back face me but we continued to talk.
"So Frank, You never told me you were royal."
"Yes. I didn't want you acting all weird." Frank said. I could see him making a funny face.
"What line?" I asked, taking off my shredded shorts.
It was like this day was cursed for me. Those were my cute shorts. The one that looked sexy in me, now it belonged in the trashcan.
I folded the ruined clothing together and tossed them in the trashcan then went for my luggage to get dressed.
I picked a moderate gown, purple, knee length, and casual.
My flats were the only thing Lucia's outburst hadn't managed to ruin, I picked them and slipped them on.
"Which line?" I repeated, seeing his hesitation to answer me.
"Moslin."
Not surprising, It not every day you see the next descendant of the Queen the Unseelie. Her first grandchild seeds to be precise.
"I'm ready." I finally said.
Frank turned around and stared at me in awe.
"What?"
"You look beautiful."
I blushed,
"Let's go."
***
Frank's handy bike had done it again, racing against time and traffic to get us to the court.
We reached there in time and soon I was before those imperial gates.
The gates creaked open and I was greeted by the Tresk.
"You again?" One of them groaned but I didn't give a hoot.
Keeping my head tall and trying not to fall whilst doing it, I walked over to their table with nothing but proof.
"I have been developments about my sister."
"Is that so unenchanted. What do you have for us today?"
"Kristy was friends with a Lucia Amore. She knows more about her disappearance."
"And what makes you sure?" One retorted.
I maintained my cool and continued,
"She displayed telekinesis and teleportation just like Kristy."
The elders remained quiet before calling unto Frank.
"Call the Amore house and tell them their daughter's presence is required in the court."
I was finally getting closer to uncovering the missing lines. Hopefully, I would be able to trace it to Kristy.
"Let us make this clear, puddledblood!" The most antagonistic of them spat at me when Frank disappeared, "You know who you're are dealing with, if you made a false accusation, you could be sent to the Netherlands for this so I hope you know what you're doing."
The Netherlands was a scary place to be trapped in but I knew I wasn't wrong so that eas an empty threat.
"Thanks for the concern." I sarcastically responded, keeping my mane clean and puff.
Frank came rushing in soon earlier.
That was quick.
"I've put a call to their family." He said.
She was coming? This was far easier than I thought.
"But she won't be coming."
"Why?" The Tresk demanded, all at once.
"The Amore said their daughter disappeared.
I exchanged glances with Frank.
The words made sure of two things. My hunch was right, Lucia knew something.
The second was she was now on the run or had been taken to keep whatever secret there was buried.
"So we are at a dead-end for now." The trio acknowledged.
I refused to give in to such a pessimistic idea.
"Come tomorrow Miss Swanson."
They would do anything to dispose of me but I wasn't taking it.
"I'm staying here. I want to help with whatever search you are to carry out."
"No Miss Swanson. You are useless to us."
"But Kristy was not. She was a prized student of the court and would one day become a Godmother."
"We understand your plight and we..."
"No! You are not lying your best. I think you can find that girl in minutes. The technicals—"
"Please Miss Swanson! This is not a world pandemic. We'll do what we can." Miss 'i have a personal feud with you' said.
Their words stung big time but it made me realize something.
They never really gave a hoot.
And it made me snap!
