Dark Hearts (Golden Heart AU)

Mini Chapter Four

Andreana ran a brush though her black hair, she smiled brightly as she pulled on her black dress and boots ready for another day's work. She loved her job as royal sorceress, and everyone loved her for it. She made them a castle, she made them a village she gave them everything. 

But deep down she was worried, nothing she could do was ever enough. It was never 'thanks for fixing my house, Andreana' it was always, 'can you add another floor.' she was never thanked for her work anymore it was just expected of her. she needed to do better, she hadn't ha a day off in two years and she's doesn't remember the last time she hung out with her friends, or Lowell. She was only Seventeen and she had the weight of what had tuned into a small kingdom in her hands. 

And on top of all of this, her mom hated her. She had even moved to the next kingdom over, the one that Lowell lived in, so that she didn't have to see her second daughter, her defective daughter, and she took poor Ariana with her. The girl had Kicked and screamed the whole way not wanting to be separated from her twin sister. Her mother hated that she practiced magic she thought it was the evil and that it would corrupt her daughter. 

No magic wasn't evil, power was, and if anything was going to corrupt Andreana it was power, the power she had in place already. She sat at the princesses' side she helped the king better his armies, she could move mountains with a wave of her hand and burn forest with the snap of her fingers. Magic would never corrupt Andreana power would. it was more likely that she would corrupt magic. But what were the actual chances of that happening? Like a million to one, right? 

There was a knock on her bedroom door, "Coming Vita" her voice was light and dreamy. her voice held no command in it whatsoever only complete and under submissiveness to her superiors. Vita was her best friend, but she was also the princess. Andreana had to remember her place. Vita walked in in a beautiful purple gown with white elbow high glove, she held a tray with breakfast on it. Andreana laughed. "What's this?" 

"Breakfast silly." Vita said placing the tray on the vanity where Andreana sat, she gave the sorceress a tight hug. "Happy birthday Rea."

"Oh, V you didn't have to do this, I'm the princess I should be the one taking care of you." 

"Oh, nonsense you work so hard you deserve a day off." 

"We both know I couldn't possibly do that; the village will be in a tizzy if I so much as sleep in an extra hour." she stood taking her messenger bag with heeling potions and spell books off her chair. "Thank you but i really should be going." 

Vita pulled her hand, "No, no you are going to sit here and eat up. Then come down to the throne room I have a surprise for you."

Andreana shook her head fondly as her friend left the room she did as she was told though, eating then heading down to the throne room. "Vita?" she opened the door. 

"Suprise!" She looked around to see all of their friend from every kingdom, 

"Kessem!" She hugged the fey who had been away for quite some time now. "Kai, Ophelia, Simon, Fix" These four were Sailors who traveled up and down cost helping everyone they could, they had been gone a whole year. "Foley!" This was a thief, Thats even what his name meant. From their old village who came with then when they had to flee. he was good now but still took her things. "Bracelet." but he could never best her. 

"What about me?" A girl with bright blue eyes pouted. 

"Fia! I thought you left us." She laughed hugging her old friend, she was from another kingdom over like Kai.

Fia giggled, "Never," 

Vita got her attention, "There is two more people," she gestured to the thrones. 

From behind the Queen' poked her sister's head. "Heya Rea, I'm home for good." She darted over to her and hugged her twin in a tight embrace. "I have a gift for you." Ariana whispered in her sisters' ear.

Andreana pulled back, "I already got what I wanted You're here," 

Ariana shook her head, and covered Andreana's eyes spinning her around, "One, two three." She removed her hands 

There sitting on the floor smiling up her was Lowell in his own sorcery robes, as he worked for the royal family of Agraba with a shiny red bow on his chest, "Happy birthday Drea." She was so in shock she couldn't speak she just threw herself at him both of them tumbling to the ground laughing. 

There you have it a little more on the life of Andreana, she seems like a perfectly normal sorceress no hint of evil in her. Shes a nice girl who loves her family and partner.
