Chapter 10 - The Project - Part 2

I sat at outside waiting for lily who was supposed to be helping me with this project, she was an hour late. I sighed before getting up" looks like I'm doing this on my own" I mumbled pulling my necklace into view but lily made an appeared just as I did. I glared at her" your an hour late"

" sorry but I had to do my hair"

" forget it, let's just get this over with so I can go back to ignoring you"

" for once we agree, Loser" she pulled her necklace out from under her shirt. The necklace was red crystal heart wrapped in golden heart casing." Its called the fire heart, stands for strength, love, beauty and life" she explained.

" its pretty" I mumbled before glancing down at the rusty moon charm around my neck." You know, your lucky" I raised eyebrow in confusion.

" that charm was in the royal family for 6 generations before it was donated to this school, belonged to Luna Redyork herself, some say that when she claimed this land, that's the necklace that started everything. She used it to shape and move the lands." She told me

" why would you tell me that" I asked and she shrugged.

" well, it is yours now, thought you might want to know the story behind it" she smiled before turning to look at me." Guess we better get to the project, don't want to get in anymore trouble" I nodded.

" OK, so what you do is concentrate all your energy into the necklace, clear your mind and focus" as I watched a pink glow appeared around her and when it cleared, light pink butterfly wings had sprouted from her back and she smiled.

I did as she told me and closed my eyes.

You can do this Luna, you can do this

I smiled as I felt a warmth surround me and heard Lily gasp. I opened my eyes to find my self in the air.  I landed and she nodded" good job for your first try" I smiled" thanks for the help, Lily"

" don't mention it" then she frowned and her eyes narrowed" ever" then she smiled and walked back inside.

Had I just seen the real Lily banks

Possibly, but that wouldn't be the first time

A week later

I stood next to Lily in front of the class which we were having outside today. We were the last ones besides Rose's group, who had forgotten about the project. Lily went first and and then I did, but just as I was about to call my wings, Edmund called everyone to the dinning Hall for an announcement much to the displeasure of Professor Draught who told us our Project would have to wait.

I sat next to Lynn and whispered" what's going on?" She shrugged but my question was soon answered" I know your all curious on why I called you all here and I have only one answer, her royal majesty, the queen has been poisoned " no one spoke they just stared at Edmund like he was joking.

" and without an heir, the kingdom will fall. She has a month to live and in this time, a search will take place"

" A search for what" a random student asked and Edmund seemed to look at me for a second before looking away and answering" The lost Princess, Youngest and only daughter, the hier to the throne." He then turned and sat at his seat at the head table." Classes are canceled until further notice, all students are to return to thier rooms for the rest of the day"

Everyone did as they were told and that night meals were sent up but I didn't eat, and neither did Lynn who hadn't said a word to me but I knew we thinking the same thing.

Who would poison the Queen?
