Falling Sky

When I Saw You

Briana's POV

There are exactly 173,892 "stars" speckling the top of the Cavern. I know, I've counted them a gazillion times. Momma says I can count and read so quickly cause I'm part fairy, but I'm also part human and that helps. Somehow, Daddy's magic has us having fresh water, breezes, sunlight, and green growing plants. Mara helps create the plants and I help with the weather. But Daddy can never ever put all the stars in the sky to where one little 6 and a 1/2 year old, living in the palace could see them.

Ari and Ky. I loved them, probably more than Mommy and Daddy, cause Mommy and Daddy were always working. Ari and Ky were like my mommy and daddy 2.0. One night, I asked Ari about the golden locket that she always wore, despite having absolutely NO care for it. She open it for me and showed me the two little pictures inside. One was of a gurgling baby, smiling slightly. The other was of a younger Mommy with commoner clothes.

"How long did Mommy stay with you?" I wondered outloud.

"2 weeks, one day, and 7 hours."

I stared.

"What? Grandmama told me." Ari shrugged.

I leaned against her shoulder and soon almost fell asleep. "Good night, my little dove." Ari whispered, after she carried me back to my bed and tucked me in. Ari kissed my forehead and disappeared into the night.

Lythian's POV

I had missed my twin. I mean Mom had this magic scrying bowl and every Friday night the whole family would gather around and watch the eldest daughter's wacky adventures. But we were allowed to use the scrying bowl all the time so Bri and I were usually always watching her. She was like our very own show that we were addicted to watching. When she got here I was so excited for twinly bonding time. The only problem was Kyron Dukawig. Her very best friend.  Kyron was so obviously head over heels for Ari that almost everyone knew it. Except Ari herself. But I had a plan, an evil, diabolical plan that might crush my twin sister cause she loved him too, even though she didn't know it. But it had to be done, for Arielle's own good.

Amaranda's POV

I was the good girl. I was the oldest girl in the royal family. And I was going to get the crown. After all, the oldest child with powers would get the crown and THAT was me. WAS me. But then "perfect Arielle" who didn't even really like me arrived. I hated her and I hated that she was getting my crown. I'll admit, when they first got here I had a bit of a crush on the Legendary Friday Night Kyron. But then,  we went to the park together and while we were waiting for Arielle, Lyth, and Bri, I... Discovered I didn't like him. Then Mother announced that Arielle and Bri would share their 7th Birthday Ball. It happened every 7 years, but when Arielle turned 14, there was a huge conference of fairies meeting, so no one would have made it anyway.

In 6 months, Bri would turn seven, three weeks before that, Arielle  would turn 15. Yet that pompous Arielle declined, saying Bri should have her own special day.

"Bri should have her own day to be celebrated, Queen Izelle. I don't need one."  Were her exact words.

She didn't say Mom, she didn't say Mother, she said Queen Izelle, and I could see how much that hurt Mother.

So I needed to hurt her.

Izelle's POV

It was wonderful. Having all my children under one roof. All of those years not caring about others was still wearing off and sometimes,I would sit in a chair gazing coldly at the world. Something was wrong though, I could feel it in my gut. Ari didn't always like to be here with us, in fact sometimes it felt like she didn't care about me at all. I mean, I know I had left her for 13 years, but this was a little too long of a grudge for only 13 measly years. On our wedding day, Orion gave me a pair of my own wings. We had only known each other for two months, and a month later I was pregnant with the twins. My darling insisted I go back to the surface and say my final goodbyes. He warned me though, that if I had twins I had to leave the nonmagical one in the human world. He told how to tell the difference, but I forgot and ended up taking the boy because boys were just more important than girls the way I was raised. Ari didn't care about her powers, she cared about love and loyalty and family. I could learn from her.

Orion's POV

That brat of a girl was hurting my precious bride. If this didn't stop I'll be forced to hurt the one she love most up there. Starting now. Her Grandmother.

Grandmama's POV

I missed my sweet dove. Chief Sander said that her and his boy were probably dead by now. I went into permanent mourning. Mrs. Woods, Kyron's aunt, always came over to make tea and stoke the fire.

"How are you feeln' Miss Sky?"

"Worse." I managed to croak out.

"This flu is really hittin' you da hardest marm."

I had been feeling sick for a whole week now. Ever since the change of seasons.

"Oh, Katia, please, I'll go get the firewood." I coughed.

"Oh no marm, you stay right there, warm and toasty." Katia shook her head and waddled outside for the wood. Where is my little dove?

Sander's POV

My son. Gone. All the other children asked were Ky and Ari was. I told them that they had went on a trip, far far away. I wished I had told him how much I loved him. Goodbye, Ky.

It must be nice hearing from the other characters. They're giving me the silent treatment. I swear I didn't write 'Imma Jlutterby' on all of your foreheads! It was probably Bri and Ari! They wrote it on each others foreheads that's how!

Ugh, they're hopeless.
