Bella's point of view (Emily's mom)

"Wha- what do you mean?" Emily asked, her voice lacing with confusion as well as her face,

"It wasn't Harry who killed us, it was Amanda who killed us." I calmly stated, and stare at Emily while she does the same to me. She keeps staring at me without blinking, as if she's been frozen. Despite her being in the state of shock, we don't have time for her to recover. I look back at Amanda and Harry, my eyebrows squints in worry and then I look at Emily again, who is still in the state of shock. I can't blame her for being surprised, in fact, I, myself was surprised when I came to know that Amanda had it all planned.

"Many, many decades ago, something happened. That day..." I start to tell her the story while I begin recalling all those painful memories.

Many, many decades ago,

"Amanda, please take care of yourself. You are in your 7th month of pregnancy! It's going to get even tougher!" I scold Amanda with worry in my words, and she just laughs it off while she walks down the stairs to the living room.

"Brother, please tell your wife to stop worrying about me and worry about her own child instead." As soon as Amanda said those words, baby Emily started to cry and I sigh out of exhaustion.

"You just jinxed it!" I accuse Amanda and point my index finger at her,

"Daniel, honey, could you please check on baby Emily?" I request my darling husband, who scans my face with worry and then nods. I see him getting up from the sofa and walking towards the room baby Emily is crying at.

I take Amanda's hand and drag her with me towards the sofa placed in our living room. I make her sit with me on the big sofa and look at her with worry. She just smiles softly and then let's out a chuckle.

"Oh my dear sister in-law, stop worrying already!" She squeals, I can see her eyes light up whenever she thinks about her baby in her womb. She has a different glow, a glow that can only happen once in a lifetime. Seeing that glow makes me smile and I gently shake my head at her.

"Are you sure you can handle the Royal Family's powers?" I asked her, worry lacing my words. She looks at me and smiles again, then she nods. There is a look in her eyes, a look that assured me she is strong enough to withhold their powers. I let out a sigh of relief and smile at her.

"You know, your brother always tell me, if he could go back to the past and change himself as a girl rather than a boy, he would do it. So that he could be in your place instead." I said with amusement and she laughs.

"I wonder, how he would look being a girl." Amanda thoughtfully said, and I tried to imagine but I erased the image as soon as I imagined and look at her with bewilderment while she did the same. Suddenly, we burst out laughing. Our laughter filling the whole living room.

The Styles family, known as The Royal Family. The powers they carry are far beyond than we can imagine. Rudolph family is the only family in the Witchland to carry strong enough genes for the Royal Family's heirs. But, being one of the Styles come at a big cost. Once the Styles family and Rudolph family mates, they can only give birth once. They are only able to give birth to a boy. Styles family only consists of men, no women have been born into that family till this day.

The day Daniel and Amanda came out in this world, Amanda's fate was already decided but Daniel, being a boy, he was the only one who had the choice to marry whoever he wants to marry with. Daniel had the ability to write his own fate, unlike Amanda. I look at Amanda, I always wonder, if she really wanted this. But, that question fades away as soon as her smile reaches my mind and soul.

"Mommy, can I go with Aunt Amanda to the market?" A 4 years old Anna asked, while tugging at my apron.

"Market?" I asked, looking at Amanda and again her face lights up,

"Yes! To buy some stuff for the baby." Amanda happily beamed and I chuckle at her excitement. She reminds me of a child who has been given a gift to, by Santa Claus himself.

"Okay sure, but-" I stop mid-sentence to carry Anna and place her on my lap, then wrap my arms around her small body while I place my chin on her shoulder,

"But?" Amanda asked, telling me to continue,

"But, I am coming too!" I said, with a smile,

"Oh c'mon! I thought there will be aunt and niece time!" Amanda cried and I chuckle,

"Well then now, it will be aunt, niece and sister in-law time!" I excitedly announce and Anna let's out an enthusiastic "yay!" While I do the same along with Anna.

"Okay fine." Amanda groaned, accepting defeat and ending with a sigh.

"Yay!" Anna and I beamed as soon as Amanda said those words, making Amanda smile.

"But the thing is," Amanda interrupted our happy dance, making us look at her, waiting for her to complete.

"The guards of the Royal Family will be coming along us too." She informed us. Anna and I exchange looks, not really knowing how to respond and we just shrug in unison.

"So... you're saying that... you all don't mind it?" Amanda asked, with an expression of confusion,

"We do mind of course, but we can't just tell the guards to disappear." I answered, and then Amanda smiles. Not the sweet and innocent smile but an evil one.

"Okay, what the hell are you planning now?" I asked her, cautiously.

"Planning? What are you talking about, my sweet sister in-law? Amanda said, her words are dipped in honey and then she pours them on me. As a response to her planning, I sigh and gently shake my head in what-will-I-do-with-this-girl.

"Now, shall we get going?" Amanda asked and winked at me.
