Charms

Chapter 4: Words of Wisdom

Sabrina felt so hurt and deceived that her own aunt didn't want her to be with the boy of her dreams. She understood that Ally doesn't want that, but her aunt was a different story. Sabrina would have thought she and Brock were not meant to be, but her glowing charm bracelet proved otherwise. She couldn't wrap her brain around this predicament.

She decided that she needed to visit the Charmanian Headquarters after school.  That way, she could ask the Ultrakeepers for help on this situation. Once the school bell rang, she was the first person out of the door. Zooming through the crowd of students in the hallway, Sabrina barely had a moment to catch her breath. She was glad that her mother was the first person in the carpool lane.

"Woah, Sabrina! What's the rush?" Lauren asked.

"I need to visit the Charmanian Headquarters!"

"Why?"

"I'll explain on the way there."

At that, Lauren started speeding towards the Charmanian Headquarters while Sabrina told her the story of her dilemma. When they arrived at their destination, Sabrina and Lauren rushed to the front desk.

"Hello ma'am! How may I help you?" the lady at the front desk said with a smile.

"I would like to speak to the Ultrakeepers."

"Do you have an appointment scheduled for today?"

"No, but this is an urgent situation!"

"Okay. We'll be with you in a moment."

Just like the the lady at the front desk had promised, Lauren and Sabrina were in a meeting with the Ultrakeepers in no time. The Utrakeepers lived in a large cave full of icicles and fairies with glittery wings. The fairies provide them with necessities like food and water while the Ultrakeepers sit in their thrones made of gold and tree vines. It was like living in paradise.

Not a single soul in the land knew the name of the Ultrakeepers. Since they are triplets, it's hard for Charmanians to tell the difference between them also. They simply call one triplet Queen Blue, the other Queen Jade, and the other Queen Violet. These names are based on the color of the clothes each of them have always worn.

"Your Highnesses," Lauren said as she and Sabrina bowed down to the Ultrakeepers.

"Lauren. Sabrina. Welcome to our Headquarters/Residence! How may I help you?" Queen Violet asked.

"There's a spirit interfering with my charm bracelet. My bracelet glowed for someone, but his bracelet glowed for my competitor. In return, her bracelet glowed for him," Sabrina explained. "I can't be left without a match, right?
Doesn't everyone have one?"

"When a spirit interferes with your charm bracelet, things can definitely go downhill. Is this spirit related to you?" Queen Jade asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. She's my aunt," Sabrina replied.

"That makes the situation even worse! If a spirit is related to you, it has better access to your personal life. Spirits have great power in this world, but once they are related by blood, their power is unlimited. Watch out, Sabrina. Believe me, they don't say that the Love charm is the hardest to get for nothing," Queen Blue warned.

"Thank you Your Highnesses for the information you have given me! I still do not understand, though, why my own aunt doesn't want me to be happy," Sabrina said.

The Ultrakeepers sighed. They gave each other glances indicating that they agreed that Sabrina needed to know the truth.

"Your aunt had thought she had fallen in love at age 14. She was confused on why her charm bracelet didn't glow for the boy she loved. She refused to believe that what she felt for him was just a crush. He had told her that he loved her, and that their bracelets would glow for each other eventually. Ruby was depressed for most of her life because she was cruelly bullied by three girls that went to her school, and she felt important for the first time in years. Unfortunately, the boy had broken up with her by announcing on the intercom at school that he was embarrassed to have called her his girlfriend. He said that the only reason why they were dating was to prove to his friends that he could get a girl to fall in love with him if he wanted too. She was extremely heartbroken and decided that she would give up looking for charms. She would just let herself die. She doesn't want you to go through the same pain," Queen Violet explained.

At that, Sabrina and Lauren thanked the Ultrakeepers for their words of wisdom and left the Charmanian Headquarters. As they left, Sabrina thought to herself, I am not going to let Aunt Ruby win. Brock will be mine! No matter what it takes.
