"Violetta, can you NOT fly away while I'm lecturing you, steal some marshmallows from the kitchen, and frighten my cousin?!" Cleopatra snapped at the guilty looking alicorn that sat on the floor of the large tree house. Violetta snorted and replied, "Yeah, I get it, but can you give me more marshmallows first?!" Cleo glared angrily at Violetta and snapped her fingers. "Look here, missy, I created you, as creepy as it sounds, so technically you have to obey me." The alicorn suddenly stopped rolling hey eyes repeatedly and neighed anxiously in alarm. "Cleo, there's someone at the window!" The said girl whipped around to face the window and saw what she was not expecting at all.

It was a girl with wings.

Screaming, Cleopatra launched herself backwards, knocking into Violetta. The girl at the window looked afraid, and her pastel blue hair tossed and turned in the wind, while her vivid silver eyes stared at her. As Cleo regained her senses, she closed her palm and opened it again, revealing that a ball of purple energy had collected on her palm. With a deft flick of her wrist, Cleo launched the small ball towards the peculiar, flying girl. The girl squealed as the ball circled around her, and suddenly, Cleo's eyes flashed purple and a cage materialized out of thin air, trapping the girl in it. The cage clattered down onto the lawn, jerking Violetta into action. The alicorn's wings burst open from her sides and she scooped up the celebrating Cleo onto her back before rocketing out of the tree house through the window. Landing beside the newly created cage that trapped the girl inside it, Violetta let Cleo down, before stepping backwards. Cleo cautiously approached the girl, who looked at Cleo with wonder shining in her silver eyes. "You are one of us..." the girl spoke up, causing Cleopatra to narrow her eyes in confusion. "How... Who... What are you?" The girl was about to answer when the door leading out to the lawn from the house slid open. Her stepmother stood in the doorway, her face deathly pale. "C... Cleo... What are you?" Cleopatra riled backwards in surprise. "I'm your daughter, what do you mean?" Her stepmother suddenly launched her body onto Cleo, and screamed angrily: "GET AWAY FROM HERE, SO YOU HEAR ME, YOU WITCH?!" Cleo gasped as the air was pushed out of her lungs as the woman in top of her screamed again at her. Suddenly, her stepmother stopped, and rolled off her, onto the grass. Cleo gasped in air as her lungs tried to recover, but she saw sparks fading in the evening air.

Not her people colored sparks, but shining turquoise ones. Still in the cage beside her, in front of Violetta, the girl smiled weakly at her, the same blue green shade of magic fading from her fingers. "Please, Cleo, you have to come with me. They're after you."
