Hidden Truths

Chapter 4 (Genevieve)

**Edited**

On my way to second, I start thinking about what just happened.

None of it makes any sense. Who was he? How did he know my name? What is he? Is what he said true? Why did I talk? I haven't spoken a word in three years! Then I go and talk to the first person that doesn't believe me a freak or insane! Ugh! I can't even with myself! Who in their right mind talks to a stranger like that? What's wrong with me? Also why do I have this feeling that everything is happening for a reason bigger than myself?

That's when I reach second period.

"Ah! You must be the new student that the students are talking about. Well you see no one was expecting you, we don't normally get new students unless they're in danger, though on this specific day we don't even allow them in. Take a seat and then we'll start out our lesson fifteen years ago."

I took a seat as requested. It was in the back of the class next to no one. That's when a girl with golden brown hair and blue eyes came and sat next to me. She didn't talk just listened to the lesson.

"So fifteen years ago today; the faerie castle was under attack by dark vampires. They got through all of the guards. There were five vampires for every guard and in the castle alone there were five hundred guards. One thousand guards were stationed outside of the castle. Needless to say, they were vastly outnumbered. The guards held there own though. It still wasn't enough. They fought with everything they had. There was just too many Vampires and too few guards. The King and Queen died that day. The only one to make it out was the princesses personal guard. Kye Garrett, some of you may already know him as Mr. Garrett. He tried to get the princess out of the castle, but its said she just disappeared, nobody actually knows what happened to her that day, we all just believe her dead."

"What was her name?" The girl next to me asked.

"Genevieve, though between all of you and me, I believe there may have been another born that day. A twin to the Princess. Though that isn't certain and don't quote me on that. It's just a rumor. Only one would know for certain and that's Kye since everyone else is dead," Then the bell rang. "Class dismissed!"

"Hey," The girl who had sat next to me said.

I simply waved.

"So I was told you have Swords and Claws next by Pepper. I do too, why don't I walk you there?"

"Fine."

"Ah, so she does talk, Pepper told me you were mute," The girl stated.

"For three years I was, you have Mr. Garrett to thank for me now talking, still not sure why I talked."

"I think I do, I mean he is attractive, attractive guys can do that to you. Especially if he's more than what meets the eye."

"I suppose," I said not actually getting where she was going with this.

"Did you not see how he was looking at you? You wouldn't have I guess, it was obvious to me, you guys are mates. Though he knows he can't have you, not yet anyways."

Not sure what that meant I decided to change the subject. "So what did you say your name was again?"

"Oh, yeah, my names Taylor, I turned fifteen today, though everyone here believes my birthday was five weeks ago when the school year started. Don't tell anyone that though, please."

"I won't, but why?"

"Just don't, please?"

"Fine, well my name's Genevieve. I also turned fifteen today."

"You're the princess they talk about, the one they thought died. I suggest you don't tell anyone your real name. At least not yet, say your name is Piper for now," Taylor said as if she knows something no one else does.

"You know something, don't you? Something no one else does?"

"Maybe, but that's for me to know right now. I can't tell you, not now anyways."

We reach third period then and first thing I notice is Mr. Garrett with a sword strapped to his back looking deadly. Well, I'm still not sure about this school or even if its real, but this looks like fun.
