Royal Mate

Chapter 7- My guard

"Grandmama! Grandpapa!" The triplets yell out. I am starting to think that i was brought here to babysit for Nikki and Jace.  The girls run into their grandfathers arms and little Nickolas goes straight into his grandmothers arms. These children were very trusting of me. I have had them alone with me for a few hours while Nikki rested. Then they decided they rather be with their grandparents instead. So off they led me through the narrow trail in the woods to a decent size cabin like house. 

"Oh. I wasn't expecting you so soon." The woman looks over at her husband and they shared a confused look. Neither said a word to me as they stared at me. I look into their eyes. The man had green eyes. The woman hazel. The woman an older version of Aspyn. Her complete look alike. "Looking into our eyes wont work. We're trained to block you out. You were actually the one who, in a way, taught us to keep you from seeing our past. How old are you now, sweetheart?"

"15. I was only dropping them off because they wanted you guys. Ill head back now." I turn away from the house facing the way we came. But just the thought of trying to get back i knew i would get lost. 

"You can stay. They'll want to head back soon anyways so when they do they'll be able to lead you back. Come on in." The woman surprises me when she grabs my hand. 

"How do you like your stay here so far?" Rosa brings me a cup of soda.

I take a sip from it and look at her, getting my response ready.

"I guess I like it here. Everyone bows as I walk by, kind of annoying. No one here calls me Princess, thankfully."

"When you were last here you made an announcement that no one here is to call you Princess. I guess it stood with them."

"I guess it did. Was I scary as a child? I wouldn't listen to a 7 year old brat, unless there was a reason."

"You are royalty, that is one and you were gifted. Even though no one here knows that, but you were able to look through memories and see what they feared the most. Then you would bring it up. So casually, might I add." Rosa takes this moment to stare at the kids eating the oatmeal she has made for them.

"What is your favorite memory of us?" I can never remember how I met someone. But I often wonder what their favorite memory of me with them was because chances are I don't remember it. "Or do you not really know since it's been so long."

"I think I have one. But we weren't exactly together. It was about a year ago. On your 15th birthday. I was in the pack. I was to coming to see you because I was told your ability to mind link was gone, and Aspyn had lost her healing ability. I was in Grayson's office. I was looking down at the window to see you were having a picnic, with who I think was your boyfriend at the time. It was the actual first time I've seen you that wasn't in pictures. You look so happy and were laughing so much. I don't even think you felt affected that your mind link was broken. You were just living your life so normally. I observed you the next few days. I heard the convos you had with your brother on what you can do to fix it. You just accepted it, you liked the idea of not having Grayson in your head talking to you 24/7. So I gave him the idea of getting a phone. That's how everyone would contact you. That is my favorite memory of you. You being happy as a teenager because I never thought I would see you get there."

I stare at this woman. Slight tears come out of her eyes. She wipes them away quickly.

I blink.

I blink again.

I look at my surroundings. There was a woman and a man in front of me on a couch. I stand up quickly.

"Olivia are you okay?" The woman stands as well. I see the triplets sitting on the floor eating their oatmeal as they watch the tv.
