Rachels Pov

Raising my left eyebrow slightly I stand up straighter cracking my knuckles trying to release the tension in them. I squint my eyes at the hologram-like visual as it clears up even more revealing an average height athletic built woman with long blonde hair flowing down her back and green piercing eyes. What makes her stand out is her clothing. She is wearing a bralette like gold Chest Plate with a silver outline around the edges. A white shirt underneath it covers the remainder of her stomach and a purple shoulder piece goes under the bralette and crosses her mid stomach. Her pants are black with the purple, silver, and gold accents running through the metal pieces on the sides of the legs. She has silver gloves on her hands and a sword attached to her hip with a purple hilt sticking out.

I reach my hand out towards her stumbling slightly as my hand goes through it, having forgotten for a moment it was just a hologram. Glancing at Jonathan I note the look on his face a cross between admiration and Loyalty, though something else is present on his face I just can't tell what. Ignoring it for the time being I speak. "She's gorgeous, that outfit is Bad Ass she looks strong." He smiles and puts his hand down the hologram disappearing as he does. "Cassandra was all of that and so much more."

I smirk devilishly slightly before narrowing my eyes at him "You have a thing for my supposed Mother" He stutters with a startled face before blushing lightly his cheeks turning a faint pink. "It's not supposed she is your Mother and I admire her dearly but we could never be nor do I think she feels the same she was always so deeply in love with your father, and she still is," He says the last part Bitterly, I furrow my eyebrows

"Ok, you're just creating more questions for me" He clears his throat before nodding once, "Right ok to start with your mother and you as well are royalty, Your mother is a queen and a ruler but not too just any country or anything like that. She rules over the Primes." Giving him a confused look he continues "The Primes are people that are born with a certain genetic marker in their DNA that gives them abilities, things that normal humans can not do. The Primes have been around since the 1960's when the first Prime named Basear discovered His abilities at the age of 17. He scoured the world in secret trying to find hints of others like him, and he did. From there they realized that the Prime Gene as they call it was likely Hereditary they weren't sure why it had only ever activated in their generation. But in finding this out him and his 5 other friends decided to keep it to themselves and pass down the knowledge only to those in the 5 families. Since Basear had originally been the first to outbreak he was chosen to lead over the 5 Families to keep them safe and the things they could do hidden from the world, over the years a member of his family would become the new Leader of the Primes and as the people had children the Primes grew into a whole new civilization of Humans. You would never know someone was a Prime unless you witnessed their abilities. The Primes whose abilities manifested physically are kept away from humans to grow with other primes or loved ones who were let in on the secret."

Blinking slowly I rub my forehead. "So if the leadership got passed down only through the Basear's family line then that means Cassandra was related to him?" Jonathan nods "He was your Grandfather, when he died it was passed on to his eldest heir, your mother, She was a great queen I'm sure your grandfather would have been proud"

Smiling softly before frowning deeply looking at him alarmed "Wait Was?"

He looks down at his shoes briefly before looking back at me making eye contact, I can see his eyes glistening over "Your Mother has been Captured, The reason she sent you away from the answer to who Shelby is all ties into that. Being the Queen meant that she was a target Naturally while a great leader there were some Primes from the other Families who felt it was time to stop hiding their true nature from the world. That without abilities we could rise and be the rulers of the world. Your mother just wanted peace to keep everyone safe, she was a warrior when the need arose but did not believe that fighting a pointless war to lord over the world just because we had gifts was the right thing to do. Without her agreement, nothing would change so ahead of one of the other Families rose and gathered followers, and staged a coup. He went after your mother but she is strong and fought him off along with the help of other faithful Prime. He swore to return and that when he did your mother and anyone who stood in his way would die. You are your mother's only Heir which would make you the natural leader next in line."

He grabs my hand gently looking me in the eyes deeply "Your mother loves you more than anything Rachel but she knew if you stayed there a time may come when she could not protect you and if anything happened to her you would be safe so one day you could take your rightful spot. More than that though she wanted her only daughter to live a happy carefree life one you could not have with her waiting around for a war. So she made the hardest choice she could and sent her sister to find a couple of regular people who would love you and take care of you, and assigned a protector she trusted to look over you as you grew. That Sister was Shelby, she found your father's who had wanted a child, Using her gift of altering memories she gave you to them as if you were her own, she also used another of her powers to bind yours until they are set free by someone of the royal line or your protector which is me."

Flashback Sneak Peek - Cassandra's POV

Panting deeply I hold my hand to my side as the blood slowly leaks through my fingers, Looking at the scene in front of me. The man struggles in the arms of his followers as they pull him deeper into the forest. A wild look in his eyes as they peek through the black hooded cloak on his head. He lets out a deep growl as he screams out to me.

"I will find her Cassie, No matter where you hide her or what you do as long as I live I will return and I will find her, and I will rule the Primes once and for all"

Swallowing thickly I look at my little sister Shelby, her brunette locks sticking to her face with sweat, She glances around at what remains of those loyal to me. "I can't believe he would do something like this, we mustn't let him find her, Shelby, as long as Rachel lives he will never stop looking for her and she will never be safe." Jonathan walks up to us holding my bundle of joy, I glance down at her and caress her cheek. She's so pure and innocent and yet has no idea the danger that lurks ahead of her.

My sister swipes her hair from her face before looking down at my daughter "I promise Cassie we will keep her safe" Shaking my head in regret and denial I look up at her and Jonathan "You must take her, somewhere I do not know. Find her a good home, a normal one where she can flourish in life without me, without the weight of who she is meant to be." My sister scowls in denial "You can't be serious Casandra!"

Setting a firm look on my face I take Rachel into my arms and kiss her forehead "I will always be with you, my angel." Handing her to Shelby I say "I'm serious Shelby, take her, and to ensure her safety Jonathan you will watch over her. Guide her when the time comes, when I can not. And when she is ready, bring my daughter home." He straightens his back before raising a closed fist to his chest and kneeling slowly, "On my life your Majesty"

Flashback End -

Letting go of his hand I clench my fist tightly feeling the sparks softly bending around my hands, taking a deep breath and releasing it in a shaky breath I unclench my fist the sparks fizzling out. My eyes fluttered in my attempt to calm down "So Shelby messed with their minds and gave me to them? Then why did she come back all those years later and say she was my mother? Why not tell me the truth and release my powers herself?"

"Shelby came back a few months ago with that story to check on you, that was when your mother disappeared. She thought if she introduced herself to you using the story your fathers believed you could hold onto your normalcy for a little while younger and still be familiar with her in a sense in case the time came to reveal herself. She handled it poorly though when trying to leave because she knew if you looked for her or tried to get close to her without being aware of everything she would be putting you in danger. She feels terrible about how she handled it, that's why she didn't come to tell you this all by herself she didn't think you would want to see her."

Huffing I nod trying to calm down as I speak "So my mo -... I mean Cassandra is missing? Who is this guy who took her? Is that why you unlocked my abilities, you think I can help you get her back. I'm only 17 and just finding out about all of this I'm not capable of going to war."

He lets out a grimace "You are capable of more than you think and even if you don't believe that your mother needs your help, Rachel, you are the only one who could find her and the only one who may be able to get Elijah to release her without any more bloodshed to Primes or worse to the rest of the world"

Getting annoyed I cross my arms "I'm assuming this (Elijah) is the guy who took her, what makes you think I can do that? You said he attacked her before when I was a newborn and now actually has her captive. She was worried about what he would do to me since she sent me away so why the HELL would I do that?"

He sighs deeply rubbing his hand over his eyes slowly "Because he is your father"
