Part 6

"Mom are you ok?"

"YES...I'm fine ok! Just go...GO!"

"Mommy you're scaring me..."

"I told you to go to your room! Now!"

"No you di..."

"Get to your room now! Do you want to be slapped?"

I awoke again, back in the large bed. Tokki reading a book to the right of me, at the window sleep. He looked up at me and smiled. His soft smile was the same as the queens. I attempted to smile back, but felt as if smiling after that dream would cause pain.

"Bad dream?" he asked as if was my brother or father. My mum wanted to call the baby that died either Tokki or Torial.

"Yer it was about my mum" I spoke as if I was talking to an older sibling or a mentor. Tokki was nice. I like Tokki.

I crawled out of bed and walked across the room to Tokki.

"How did you know about where I was?" I asked only now having the question cross my mind.

"Your feather" he answered.

I was puzzled about what he was talking about. "It's not mine it's..."

"Amiga?"

"Who now?"

"Amiga the old woman who lives where you were staying. She told me that when the feather finds the chosen one, it will tell the queen. And she sent me to get you."

Amiga...friend in Spanish. I smiled at the thought of her being my friend. Her words still present in my head, "Sometimes an action shows more than words".

As I sat next to Tokki, there was a knock at the door and a younger around my age voice came from the other side.

"Tokki you there, I need to talk to you. Please"

Tokki looked at me as if to gain approval of another person being in the same room.

"Come in"

The door opened revealing another boy, he looked younger than Tokki. But had striking similarities as if were twins. I wish I had a twin. He wore a black and green robe and had blue wave like hair. He also had a neaklace dangling round his neak, but on the end was a jade emeral surrounded with a silver border. He had high brown boots and white leggings coveres by a long brown top like Tokki.

He looked at me and smiled. " i am Tokkis younger brother my lady" he stated as he bowed at me " Tokkis older by a year. My name is Torial. Pleased to meet you."

I sat amazed that two princes i met both had the name of the child my mum wanted. Did mum want me? I looked down at the floor, deep in thought of how will i get home and do i want to.

I shook my head and got up " I am pheo my good sir" curtsying at him as if i was playing a dress up game with my old friend ameal. We use to get dressed up and put on beauty shows, and plays for our mums. After her mum would make use cookies and chocolate milk. I love my past.

"now Tokki please can i go with you and Pheo. I want to be with you."

"my main priority is to protect Phoe, and i dont want to chose who to protect. Mission or sibling."

"i can defend for myself brother oh dearest thank you very much!"

" im just saying"

They continued argueing for a long time before Tokki gave up and allowed his brother to come.
