The Lost Princess

Chapter 9: Leora

Once James sisters and I got back to Ametrines room we started doing each others nails. Maids brought in cucumber sandwiches and some iced tea. Anna and Roseanne couldnt stop talking about boys and what they would want their weddings and proposals to look like. Ametrine and Rosella talked about what guests should be invited to James and my wedding. I just sat in a beanbag chair and ate while thinking about what James would want.

Leora are you alright? Roseanne asked. Apparently, Anna went to the bathroom.

Yeah, I just miss James.

You really do love him dont you. I nodded my head.

How are we all going to sleep in here tonight? I asked no one in particular.

Well, I figured we could split it up. You, Anna, and Roseanne in your room and Rosella can sleep in here with me. Ametrine stated. Next thing we know Jasper is barging into the room.

Ametrine, Anna can I talk to you please?!

Yeah sure! Rosella go into Leoras room and Ill come and get you latter. Ametrine and Anna walked out of the room with Jasper hot on their heels.

Anyone know what that was about? I asked while looking at the twins. They shook their heads no and we went into my room.

Yay you have a readding nook! Can I sleep here tonight? Roseanne asked and I just nodded my head yes. She started jumping for joy then hugged me before going and getting her bed ready.

Please excuse her shes a bit hyperactive. Rosella explained.

Thats okay, Do you want to share the bed with me? I asked and she just smiled and nodded her head.

So, do you like going by Amethyst or Leora?

Leora please. Amethyst is fore those who are to refer to me as my title. Your family you dont have to! I hear your studying to become queen. How is that going?

Its difficult some days but I enjoy it. The only thing is I cant take over the crown without being married. I dont take time out of my schedule to date. Id rather focus on becoming the best ruler my kingdom deserves.

I hear you. I havent even begun training and I have to get married! Dont get me wrong I love your brother I just with we could have been able to do things our own time. I can barely control my powers let alone rule a kingdom.

I understand. I really do. James will too. He had difficulties with his power too when he got his and its why he became a knight.

What are your guys powers?

Im an empath I can feel everyones emotions and affect everyones emotions as well Roseanne can control water and James can see peoples fears.

What about your parents?

I dont know my dads, but my mom is an empath like me I inherited her power.

I wonder what your dads power is. What do you mean by James can see peoples fears?

He can bring peoples fears to life or prevent them from ever happening. Just depends on which side he stands on.

Sounds like something out of the Shadow Kingdom.

Its rumored that our dad is from there and thats why he keeps his power a secret. Roseanne says while walking over and taking a seat next to us.

Roseanne! Dont spread such awful things. Rosella was trying to keep her posture.

You dont have to always be so poised and proper you can let your guard down around us we are family!

My dad yells at me. Im suppose to be the next queen so I must stay poised and proper because you never know who is watching. God knows what hes said and done to mom.
