The Lost Heiress of Avalon

Chapter Six: Princess

Aria
Today was the day, we dressed quickly and after breakfast, we set about finding a cab. We gave the cab driver the address and we drove off.

We stopped and the cab driver turned to look at us, "Here we are. That'll be $15," he said and clicked away on the screen.
Ryden handed him two $10 bills, "keep the change," he said and we slid out.
The apartment block looked a little old and rundown, luckily an old lady got outside and we slipped in before the front door closed.
I looked at the page and searched for apartment 1, which was right down the hall to our left.
We approached the door and I held my breath. I looked at Ryden and he put his hand on the small of my back.
"You will be fine, my love," he whispered into my ear and I nodded.
I brought my hand up to the door and looked at Ryden again, he nodded and I knocked.
"Just a moment," she yelled and my pulse quickened. We heard the TV click off and the door opened.
She stood there gaping at us.
"Who... What... Why?" she finally mumbled, I smiled and stepped forward.
"Hello, my name is Aria and I am your sister. "I said and reached into my backpack, pulling out the amulet mother has given me and showing it to her. His gaze dropped to the amulet in my hands and she stepped forward reaching her hand up.
"What do you mean you're my sister?" she asked with her hand hovering above mine. I moved my hands up and touched her hand. The amulet that was between ours began to glow and spread from the amulet into our hands, up our arms and engulfed our entire bodies. Her eyes widened in shock and she pulled her hand back, "what the hell was that? What are you?" she demanded and took a few steps backwards.
"Can we rather talk inside? I promise that I will explain everything and I will answer all of your questions. It's just rather private and not everyone on this planet will understand," I replied and she nodded.
She stepped out of the way letting Ryden and me in. She shut the door behind her, locked it and motioned for us to sit down in the living room.
She went into the kitchen and brought out three bottles of water.

"Alright. You have my full attention," she said as she took her side opposite us.
I placed the amulet on the coffee table in front of her and took a deep breath in.
I looked at Ryden and he placed his hand on my knee and nodded.
"Okay, as I have said my name is Aria and I am turning twenty-one next week, on the 11th to be exact. Yes, I know, we look the same, and we share the same birthday... Obviously, we are twins. Our mother, Queen Taneisha, ruler of the Kingdom-" she cut me off,
"Queen? Like in, the QUEEN?" she asked and I nodded, "yes, Queen and yes, we are both Princesses," I replied and continued, "where were we, ah yes, the ruler of Avalon, when she had us, she could not keep us both and she had you hidden on plant Earth, away from danger and our Grandfather, who was King at that time. Mother said that when he was ruler, there were strict rules set in place, one rule deemed that the royal families could only have one child per family and even for the royals there was no exception, if this rule, which was the most important rule, was ever broken, the firstborn child would be kept and the other children would be killed," I paused and took a sip of my water, "so in order to protect you, the actual firstborn, the one with the strongest powers, she had you enchanted and se-,"
"Powers?? Enchanted??!" she cut me off, "yes, I will get to that in a moment, just be patient, please," I replied and continued on, "so mother had you enchanted and sent to Earth," I said and sighed.
"Okay, I am going to take a breather and give you some time to comprehend and answer any questions you may have," I said and sat back on the couch.
"May? I OBVIOUSLY have THOUSANDS of questions running through my mind! Like for one, what the hell happened outside with the glowing and the necklace thingy?" she asked and frowned at me, "well, it looks like that is our powers that have begun activating. I don't know myself as it has never happened before, but that is what it seems like," I replied and she looked at me with her mouth open, "what powers?" she asked, "we are Faeries, from planet Avalon. So we have magical powers. The glowing is the activation of our magical capabilities or powers and that happened because we have been reunited and touched; And once we have returned to Avalon and had our twenty-first birthdays, our Faery transformations will be complete," I replied and she looked even more puzzled.
She frowned and shook her head laughing,  "faeries, what the hell? Is this a joke? Am I on Pranked or something?" She asked, "no, I promise you that all of this is very real and we do need to get moving as soon as possible. Time is against.  Anything else mother will explain to you," I replied and leaned forward taking her shaking hand into mine,  "please sister, trust me?" I pleaded and she looked at me, she nodded and reached her other hand out,  I picked up the amulet and placed it into her other hand, capturing the amulet between our hands. Our hands began to glow again and she studied them, "let go of everything you are thinking and focus on what you're feeling right now. Pour all your energy into it."
The wind began to pick up inside the apartment and was blowing in circles around us, mimicking somewhat of a small tornado even though all of the windows and doors were closed, it was still blowing, caressing us, encompassing us and lifting our feet up from the ground. Tryamon looked at me and laughed, "wow, this is... AMAZING!" she said and looked around.
"Yes, it is rather spectacular," I replied and removed my hand from hers, I reached up and held the amulet out to her, "take this and put it on around your neck," I told her and she took it.
The wind ceased and we lowered to our feet again.
I reached down into my shirt and took mine out.
"Wow, yours is green," she said and pointed to mine, "yes, mother said that your amulet matched what kind of Fae powers you will have. Mine represents life, vitality and nature," I said and took her stone in between my fingers, "yours is yellow, which means your magic will represent power, energy and virility, which focuses mainly on electricity," I said and her eyes lit up.
"That's amazing," she said and sadness flashed upon her features, "you said that we must go back to planet Avalon, so that means that I will have to leave my life and everything I have here, behind?" she asked and I nodded, "unfortunately, yes. Once all has cleared and the order has been restored on Avalon, I am sure you can return to Earth and continue your life. It will never be the same, but I am certain you can comprehend some kind of rather normal life and still practice your magic in secret," I told her and she nodded, "alright, I just have to say goodbye to my dad and then we can leave," she said and tears welled in her eyes."That will be fine, we can leave the day after tomorrow. Does that give you enough time to sort everything out and get ready for our departure?" I asked and she took my hand in hers, "yes, sister. Thank you very much!" she exclaimed and wiped the tears running across her cheeks.
