The Last Heiress

Chapter 22

“Egan!” I yelled, near by I heard the same yell. We split up just enough we could hear each other's yells.

“Eadiline” I heard softly

“Egan?” I asked, I turned around, “where are you?” I asked

“Up here but don't look, I look awful!” Egan said

“Please come out, I'm sure you don't look bad. Please, we can keep this a secret if you want” I said. A figure slowly came out of the shadows. It was Egan, totally the same “You look the same as before” I said

“No, Everyone says I look awful” Egan said “no one likes me”

“And you let them tell you who you have to be? We are what we think we are, if you let them change your opinion on who you are then  you won't see yourself as who you really are” I explained “you get to be who you want”

“But… they don't like me, they don't like who I am” Egan said

“First, that was ReBecca messing with you and second, you don’t have to fit in. Just be yourself and those who like, those who are your true friends will be there for you. Besides the others are more like your siblings, siblings always fight. Don't worry” I assured him. There wasn't a physical change about him but something in his eye, in his attitude changed.

“You're right, I shouldn't let them get in my way, I'm the oldest” Egan said

“Egan, just try to be nice. And I'm pretty sure Dramons the oldest. And mature, you still have a ways to go” I said “So will you lift the spell on me?” I asked

“Alright…” he started. Before he could change him mind I whistled three times. Everyone came rushing our way.

“You found him!” Foxie said.

“Yeah, now please break the spell” I said.

No one seemed to disagree and they all broke it. The first thing I did was punch Dramon, them the others

“What Were You Thinking!” I yelled at them. I had been waiting to do that in a while.

“We weren't thinking” Dramon said.

“Exactly my point, anyway we need to go” I said walking off, everyone scrambled up and followed.

“You're going to get it someday” Foxie warned

“Quiet!” I snapped

“Don't…” Foxie started before Dramon grabbed her mouth

“Guards” he whispered in her ear. She suddenly went quiet.

“We must have hit the ten mile point” I whispered

“We only went about five miles” Tigress said

“The camps are becoming more and more closer. It's going to be harder to attack the different camps individually” Curt said

“Egan, can you do a scan real quick to see how far away the next camp is, we need to make sure we don’t cause too much notice” I said

“Don't even worry about that, we already did a pretty bad job of doing that” Tigress said

“Ah, I see. Well then, Everyone…CHARGE!” I Yelled. We all ran into the battle. I picked up a fallen sword and started fighting with it. Surprisingly it was the easiest sword I had ever fought with. It was like it was helping me. As I fought it became more easier, I was more energized than tired.

“Dramon behind you!” I shouted

“Eadiline…” Tigress started but I stabbed the person behind me. “Nice!” she complimented

It was my first time in battle, well direct one on one battle with a sword, but no matter how many times I was grazed I just kept going not seeming to be effected.

Once the battle was over I felt great. The others didn't look to bad either but they stared at me.

“What?” I asked, I turned to look behind me but there was nothing interesting, I turned back to them and looked at me

“Your…Glowing” Foxie said

“What?” I asked,, the glow slowly faded away

“And you have no cuts or scars”  Egan pointed out

“You have some magic with in you. I can smell it” Tigress said. Ok that was a little awkward.

“So, I… have magic?” I asked

‘You got the magic! Congratulations!’ Gracie said

‘What?’ I asked

“You must be the rightful heir to the throne then!” Dramon said

“What?” I asked

“’The rightful heir to the throne gets a magical ability when they turn fourteen, a year before they get coronated. The power is what the kingdom needs most at the time’” Gracie and Dramon said at the same time

‘ReBecca's father had the power but it was the gift of fighting. It was at the time of a great war, at the end of the war dad killed him for fear his rage would send them into more wars.’ Gracie said ‘Once ReBecca learned of this she turned against our father to take revenge on her fathers death and to claim her place as the heir to the throne’

“The Prophecy!” I said aloud thinking about the words

One shall betray

Kill all but one

The one shall not stay

Till all is done

And Take back her Kingdom

After all evil is slain

For all to come

Under her reign

“What about it?” Foxie asked

“ReBecca must think she is the chosen one” I said, I started to pace “oh, of course! It all makes sense now! Oh poor ReBecca!” I started rambling

“What! What makes sense?” Aribella asked walking up near us. The captain was off getting something for us to eat

“ReBecca thinks my father betrayed, killed everyone but ReBecca. Once her father died she left to visit the kingdoms, till she had done all her spy planting, then she killed my family the “evil” and that let everyone come under her reign” I explained “she was amazing at problem solving once she turned fourteen so she must believe that she is the heir”

“That would explain some things” Foxie said

“It's true” Curt said, “I have heard her say it once.”

“Well that means she is doing everything as she believes is supposed to happen, this changes everything” I said

“What do you mean?” Tigress asked

“Well she needs to know she’s not The One” I said

“Why don't we just kill her and not worry about the rest?” Foxie said

“We can't just kill her in cold blood, she may change if she finds out the truth” I said

“She also might not believe you” Dramon said

“Knowing her she won't believe you” Egan said

“You don't know her like I do. I have to try” I said
