The Tales of the Dark and the Light: Two Souls

Chapter Three: Born of Light

Lilibet's POV:

In Montecito, California, Prince Harry arrives home from grocery shopping and is greeted by an annoyed look from Megan.

Hello hun, welcome home.

Have I done something wrong my love?

No, it's our daughter. I've already called her three times and she hasn't come down yet could you please go get her? Dinner is ready.

As she says this, the door opens revealing Archie, a 13 year old, redheaded little boy with green eyes, and standing at 1.60 meters tall, with a look of smartness and kindness present in him.

Hey mom and dad, sorry to appear without notice, but I was able to come home this weekend.

Thrilled to see Archie, Harry and Megan run and give him a big hug.

No problem, hunny. Now come and sit. Mom will make a bit more food just for you.

I'm going to get your sister, be right back.

Harry enters the room quietly and gives a small kiss on Lilibet's head, seeing that she was studying for her tests on a desk with piles and piles of books about science and mathematics.

Hello there, my little angel.

Just a little bit longer, daddy! I'm almost finished with this equation. 

Come on now. Let's not leave your mother waiting, dinner is served and ready for you.

Hmmm fine.. I'm going.

She leaps off her chair, a beautiful blue eyed girl with red hair and a gentle smile, standing tall for her age, at 11 with 1.52 meters tall. She's smarter than almost every other classmate at her school, even outside of school subjects she outsmarts the name-calling and envious eyes of others, being pleasant and unpleasant when it is called for. But now she has to move quickly as to not make her mother wait, after all meeting her expectations in school is not the only fight she has to go trough daily, as she tries over and over again to be the perfect daughter, she runs down the stairs and meets her mother's eyes.

I'm here, mother. Sorry for making you wait.

Was there a good reason for making me wait so long, Lilibet Aradia?

I was studying mathematics, mother. For my test, next week.

Hmm, very well. That's a good enough reason, but eating is good for you too or else you won't be able to study properly and get the school marks to go to Harvard or Oxford. I want the best for you, darling, so be the best on all that you can be. Now, come sit here, beside your brother.

Lilibet sees Archie, and gives him a big hug before sitting down beside him.

So, little sis, took you a while. Is everything alright?

Yes Arch, all good and shiny. How's it going on that private school of yours?

Oh, it's going quite well. We just started learning about anima... 

Archie feels the menacing glare from his mother, as she puts a plate of food in front of him.

Animals, yeah... some aquatic creatures.

Aquatic creatures?

Yap.

He says as he fills his mouth with food, whilst feeling the death glare from Megan.

Okay, that sounds nice, I guess...

Come on, now it's time to eat, says Harry as he sits by the head of the table. Hunny, could you please turn on the TV for us to watch the news?

Of course, she says as she turns the TV on the kitchen for everyone to watch the latest news.

As the news go on about yet another hurricane, Lilibet turns to her mother.

I didn't want to tell you, but yesterday I felt really sick.

Sick? Why, my little phoenix?

I don't know, I just felt like I lost something.

Lost something?

Yes, like if I had eaten an apple and the apple disappeared from my stomach.

Megan looks at Lilibet with an attentive and careful look.

But are you feeling better now?

Yes, just wanted you to know, just in case I feel like that again.

If you feel like that again don't-

Megan is startled by what the news announce all of the sudden.

My fellow americans, today I bring dreadful news from our british cousins... the Queen has died.
