The lost princess: Together

Clarix - the school of magic

-Present- (A/N: Chapters would be in Amber's POV unless stated otherwise)

"Ding dong ding dong"

"Okay class, lesson's over. I want all of you to go back to your dorms and read pages 67 to 70 of your potions textbook and attempt the questions on page 30 of the workbook."

30 or more young magic beings stood up from their seats, dragging their chairs in the process and headed out of the potion lab.

I adjusted the crimson red cloak and made sure the hood covers my jewel like eyes and golden blonde hair. Sighing I walked out of class and made my way towards my isolated dorm hidden away from curious eyes.

The cloak trailed behind me, swishing around my ankles like fire. I've been here, at Clarix the renowned school of magic, studying for a good 10 years and still all people talk about is me.

Aren't there other more interesting things to talk about? I wouldn't want to talk about some girl for 10 years...

Out of the corner of my eye, i saw a group of girls sitting on the ledge of the glass window whispering to each other, they spared me a glance before returning to their gossip.

"Have you ever seen that girl without her hood?"

"No but i heard a rumor that she's a witch born with an ugly face, it was so ugly that she couldn't bring herself to show her face at school."

"Wonder what kind of powers she has... "

"Probably something weak that's useless in battle."

-10 years ago-

"Here you go Amber."

The headmistress said as she handed Amber the red cloak in her closet.

Amber looked at the headmistress curiously and asked, "What is this for?"

The headmistress smiled at her politely and replied, "In the school and around other people you would have to wear this cloak to hide your face from others. You are also not allowed to talk anyone except our teachers. The teachers would-"

Amber cut her off, shouting at her, "What?! What do you mean i can't talk to anyone but teachers, are you trying to give me the permanent title 'Loner of the school' ?!"

The headmistress sighed but could only shake her in head.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this Amber, i really am. But this is for your own good."

She reached around me, wrapping the silky red cloak around my shoulders and secured it in place around my neck with a dazzling sapphire clip.

"Not a lot of people know the truth of the Starlight kingdom and its destruction and we intend to keep it that way for many reasons, one of them being your own safety."

"The battle in the Starlight kingdom's story will sound like this. You, princess Amber of the Starlight kingdom, died with your parents, King Chase and-"

She cleared her throat and blinked back tears at the mention of her best friend's name.

"And Queen Linna. The citizens of the Starlight kingdom are gone, some dead, others missing and the Starlight kingdom is now in ruins."

"If anyone catches sight of you, they might realise you are the lost princess, news travels fast in the magic dimension and i might not be able to save you if the black mages come again."

Memories flashed across my mind, the dead bodies scattered across the court yard of the palace, screams and cries of plead reverberating through the air, my mum and dad's final words.
