"Uhmm what?' I asked in shock. My mom started pasting around. "No its too soon. Jackson was supposed keep everything in line. You're too young!' She started mumbling to herself but enough for me to hear. "Mom stop! talk to me.' I said grabbing her shoulder to stop her from moving. "Violet,sit down.' She said pulling out a chair for me to sit on. I sat and so did she. She took in a deep breath. "Uhmm your father was a great man,he thought of others before he thought of himself. Sometimes you remained me of him.' She chuckled but that's not what I wanted to hear. "Mom stop doing that and tell me the whole truth.' Was I being crazy? My necklace lit up and a woman popped out of it sounded crazy. Was I losing it?
"The necklace your grandmother gave you belonged to your father. That necklace is sort of like your bodyguard. It'll protect you. The person you saw might have been your fathers sister Marilea. She connected with you through the necklace. Yurilane is a kingdom your father grew up in.' I quickly interrupted her. "I've never seen Yurilane on a map.' Although I had a lot of questions that's the only one that seemed to come out of my mouth. "That's because it's more of a dimension sweetheart. Can't really see those on a map. Listen I know that this is hard to understand but its what it is. I know Marilea said she'll send her soldiers to get you but I'll make sure that doesn't happen. You're too young and you haven't been trained. I'll protect you.' She smiled grabbing my cheek. I could tell she left some things out. What the hell did I just hear? Another dimension, what did that even mean? This was just a prank that my mom was pulling. It had to be.
I sat there on the kitchen table thinking. My mom left to make phone call and although I couldn't hear what she was saying I could tell she was mad.
While thinking I heard a crack which snapped me out of my thoughts. It came from outside. I didn't hear anything else after a couple of minutes. Then I heard footsteps. I gasped and jumped out of my chair. Two buff men with horns came into the kitchen followed by the tall blonde man I had seen at my graduation ceremony. I screamed soo loud my throat hurt. My mom came into the kitchen but she didn't look worried. Instead she looked angry.
"Yoongi you can't take her away. She's not ready and aren't you the ones who disowned us after finding out? What do you want from us now?' My mom spoke sternly. The blonde guy which I'm guessing his name was Yoongi smiled slyly.
"Ohh c'mon Jessica. Is that anyway to great your future son-in-law? Herlof has gotten word of the girl. Now she has powerful enemies that will do anything to have her blood. Yesterday my man killed two witches her. You're not safe here. You'll have to come with us to Yurilane.' Yoongi said. What was he talking about future son-in-law? And who was trying to get my blood? And what did witches want here?!
My mom sighed and looked at me. "Please don't put her through frustration or pressure.' My said to Yoongi and smirked looking at me. "Don't worry Jessica, I'll be patient.' My mom walked towards and tugged my hair behind my ear. "Go back your things sweety. We're leaving for a little trip.' She smiled and without question I did. I went upstairs and started packing clothes,shoes, makeup and toiletry into suitcases. I even took my laptop. I needed to communicate with my friends somehow.
We were in a car with Yoongi and the other two men had taken another car behind us. I was nervous but somewhat excited. I loved reading about these things and now I was living it. We drove through a forest for what seemed like hours til we reached a tree blocking the way. We stopped and Yoongi started taking in deep breaths and mumbling words in a language I couldn't understand. As he spoke the tree started moving and curling up into a small seedling. I gasped in shock. My excitement quickly turned into fear. We continued driving until there were less trees but odd houses. The houses looked old but new at the same time. Most of them were on mountains and crocked. The place was creepy and dull. The trees were brown. Well most of them were. We reached a palace and stopped at a tall gate. The gates opened and we drove inside.
When the car stopped two girls wearing the same kind of dress with long noses came followed by a man in a red suit. The man came to take our bags. "Good evening. I am Caroline and this is my sister Coralline. We'll be helping throughout your stay at the palace. Now if you'd walk this way the King is waiting for you.' One of the girls said and we followed them. The palace was huge and filled with antics.
The two girls led us to a room where I could hear laughing and mumbling. When they opened the doors I saw a huge table filled with food and wine on silver platers. The utensils looked like the were made from gold and silver. My eyes quickly turned to a man with silk black hair and red eyes and another one with brown hair and red eyes also. After the man with black hair laughed at a joke that the other man had told him he turned to us. "Ahhh, Yoongi you've brought our guest! Come sit,sit.' Yoongi took a seat and as I stepped forward to the table my mom put her arm out blocking me.
"My daughter and I aren't going to sit at the same table as you Namjoon.' Mom said in disgust. "I told you we should've left her to die father.' A voice said and turned to my left to see a boy about my age walking into the room wearing all black. "Excuse me! Who the hell do you think you are?' I said to him and he squinted his eyes at me as if he was trying to figure out what I was. "Is this her? She rather does have a nasty attitude, just like her father.' He said looking at me slyly. "My attitude will be the least of your problems if you keep talking.' I said pushing mom's hand away trying to get to the guy but before I could my body froze. Literally. I couldn't move and I started freaking out.
"Alright Taehyung that's enough now.' Mom said grabbing my arm and I suddenly could move again. I have a feeling that this Taehyung had some sort of power to control people or something.
"Come on now Jessica be polite. Your daughter could use a little more manners. Can't have her being rude if she's going to marry my son.' Namjoon said and my eyes went wide. "Marry your son? Mom what is he talking about?' I looked at my mom in concern but instead she grabbed my hand to sit at the table. Namjoon smiled at me. Him, Yoongi and Taehyung had the same sly smile. It was evil. I could tell that these were his sons. A servant came to dish up the food that was on the table for us. There was a lot of tension in the air because everyone was silent. I had no idea what was going on and nobody bothered to explain it to me. It was like a weird family reunion. But I really was outraged at Taehyung. I had only just met him but I already wanted to kill him. I had soo many dark thoughts that I started starring at him.
"You know Darling starring is rude. I know that I'm handsome but you are going to be marrying my brother you know.' He said without raising his head from his plate. "Ha if only you knew that I'm thinking of a thousand ways to kill you right now.' I said and he lifted his head to look at me and I smirked evilly but the idiot smirked back. "Someone tell me what this marriage nonsense is about?!' I said sternly to everyone at the table. "We're going to get married Violet.' Yoongi said.
