Stoneheart

Chapter 1

I woke up I was sore I always was I crawled out of bed,three weeks from now I would turn thirteen and be blooded to see what powers I had well me and Dairen.

I walked over to my balcony door and opened it up. I smiled as the cold wind blew in. I always went out onto the balcony every morning no matter how cold, blizzard or sunny. I walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the rail it was summer Dairen was probably drawing in his room,and Jayce was probably stuck in a book again. I sighed it looks like I'll be training alone again. I was bored of training I trained everyday and I was nothing compared to how good Jared was or my dad.

I looked down at the city I couldn't go there I'd never been allowed to much less now. My parents had never let me and Dairen out of the castle walls not even when we were born.

I heard a knock at my door. Great someone interrupting my thoughts.“Who is it?”I asked boredly. I heard the door open in response. I was about to look at who it was before my two younger sisters tackled me in a hug.

I almost went over the railing but I managed to catch us. Emma giggled and laughed Emily the youngest of the two didn't say anything she never had only Emma could hear her because of their bond as identical twins

Jared and Jayce could talk to each other in their heads before Jared died.

Dairen and I had tried to communicate in our heads but we were unsuccessful the people who had worked with us said it was  from how often we talked and since that was rare at the time the said our twinly bond wasn't strong enough to do that anymore.

Neither Emily or Emma had know Jared so they always asked me and Dairen about it.

I pretended to be angry “What do think you're doing!” I demanded.

“Hugging you duh.”Emma said and Emily nodded.

I smiled and said“Well i suppose i can allow one hug.”

“Of course you can!” Emma said I gave them a hug and stood up they both stood up to.

“So what is it you want?” I said

“We found something weird in the library come check it out with us.”Emma said. Emma had a weird way of asking for a seven year old she more demanded than asked and she wasn't scared to demand at all and I loved it.

She was my favorite of my younger twins I still loved Emily but Emma just reminded me of myself at her age.

“Okay fine but let me at least get my shoes on.”I said and went to put them on. They practicly dragged me into the library.

“Why are w-”I began.

“Shhhh! He's still in here.”Emma whispered annoyedly.

“Who is?”I questioned.

“Him.”Emma said and pointed at Jayce who was sitting at a table reading some dusty old book.

It seemed that even Emma and Emily had learned not to disturb Jayce I couldn't blame them though I had made that mistake before.

“Well where is this weird thing I know it can't be Jayce although I will admit he is a whole other kind of strange,”I whispered.

Emily motioned for me to follow her ,and slipped away. I followed quickly but was careful not to be to fast and knock something over.

"Over here see?" Emma whispered pointing at a bookshelf.

"Yeah that's a bookshelf,"  I said in a no duh tone.

"No," she hissed ",one of the books stupid when you try to take it off the shelf it won't budge!"

"Which one?" I asked.

"...well I don't know how to pronounce it..." Emma said looking down ashamedly

"That's okay just point it out and I'll take a look." I said.

"Oh yeah I'm so stupid," she said between giggled." Hmm there it is!" she said pointing at a book titled The history of the Magus Imperiam.

I reached over and tried to take the book off the shelf it didn't budge. I looked at Emma and Emily I could hardly believe they hadn't been imagining it.

I looked back at the book and pulled harder nothing happened. I gritted my teeth this was getting annoying and I pulled harder and it gave it didn't come off the shelf it just leaned out of it and I heard a click.

But since I hadn't stoped pulling when the book moved I had fallen down nearly taking Emma and Emily with me ,but Emma had jumped back pulling Emily with her. The bookshelf suddenly swung out towards us leaving all of us to scramble out of the way.
