"Did you really think you were just some average human that they happen to stumble across? It was all a calculated move. You're not who you think you are. Or did you already know that?" He raises and eyebrow but by my body language he clearly can see I have no idea of what he is insinuating.
"Tell me more." I say hesitantly trying not to get scared and back down at the last second.

"Actually, let me start from the beginning. Dre and Coraline's parents were dethroned by yours truly 2 years ago. Ever since then they knew they needed someone to help them take the their throne back." The man who sits atop that high ass pedestal he is put atop says in a snarky manner. I stay quiet as I think of Dre and Coraline as royalty. Come to think of it they had never mentioned being more than just themselves. Heck I don't even know what else they could be keeping from me? But what was the need to dethrone them? Were they not at least decent at ruling a kingdom or was it all just for power- before my brain can come up with a resolve for all my unanswered questions Dre starts yelling.
"Jessie he's lying to you! We never wanted you to help us get our throne back!" Dre yells exasperatedly. The "king" waves his arm in the air in and in one fellow swoop Dre's was smashed into the marble floor. He screeches in pain but Coraline says and does nothing. She sits there still and obedient. I wonder what's wrong with her but then I see a smirk on her face. All her chains break off of her in an instant. I can see a dark blue aura on her that I've never seen before. Coralline leaps forward her dark aura growing larger. She grabs her wand out of her pocket and swings it back so that her arm was exactly ninety degrees from her side. Coraline's lips moving quickly as if trying to cast a spell. In that very instant the wand became a sword and equally in that amount of time was the sword at the king's throat.
"Let us go now!" Coralline says with a raspy voice veering at every corner to see if any more enemies were approaching.
"But why? I was just going to tell our lovely guest about her Earthly mother. She's not doing too well. The true beast before me cackles away even though there's a sword to his neck. My Earthly mom? What the hell is that suppose to even mean? But my mom is perfectly fine aside from... I gasp at the sudden realization that my mom has emotional problems. Or is that what he is referring to? I ponder my thoughts even though there were no answers coming to mind. I choose my words carefully since I don't know what he has done to my mom.
"What is wrong with my mother? Is she okay?" I question shyly bowing my head and twiddling with my fingers. I knew this tactic was beyond stupid but I don't know what else to do. You could've at least been assertive and polite. Well at least this way he can't possibly take it the wrong way. I say fighting my inner conscious trying to assure myself that I am doing the right thing.
"Ahem", the king coughs rather loudly to get my attention. He smirks when he sees my head snap up.
"Anyways, he starts, "You really didn't notice anything out of the ordinary about your Earthly mother's emotional conduct? Well I should probably just go ahead and say it. You Earthly mother has PBA also known on your earth as Pseudo Bulbar Affect. Basically she contracted it after her stroke when you were a child." He told me looking sad? How the hell was that even possible? Also PBA? Why didn't my mom tell me? To protect me? But I would've understood better if I'd known. I could have done so much more for her. I put my hand over my heart and squeeze my chest while tears drop on the floor. I wipe my tears and look serious for a second. How does he know all of that about my past?Have they been observing my "Earthly family" because of my origins. Also why didn't they stop me from ruining my Earthly family? Does it not concern them of my stability? And when were they going to abduct me if I didn't go out to the woods that night? They said it was a calculated move but it seemed pretty random to me. Before I can utter a single word Coraline already grabs me and Dre and breaks the wall to the front of the palace, leaving the place that was going to explain everything to me. Thinking that it was unfair that I didn't get all my questions answered I ask Coraline some questions so that at least I get something more about my past that I hadn't exactly accounted for I guess?
