Born With Power

3. Private Plane

Theodora's POV

It all went by in a blur. It had been a week since I woke up and we were finally leaving this godforsaken hospital.  After finding out my father had died in the accident I felt this numb feeling take over. I wasn't particularly close to the guy but it was still my father. He was the only family I had, or at least I thought I had. Over the last couple of days I couldn't help but think on the moments I had with him. Though I never let him know I always looked up to him, I wish I would have told him. Flashbacks raced by in my head of my childhood. As unconventional as it may have been he did his best. Even when we were moving every few months he always appeared relaxed and comfortable, never letting the stress of work and moving show. 

The doctors had informed me I was very lucky to be alive and it truly was a mystery how I made it out alive. When I heard of my father's passing I was shocked but stayed silent.  My mother was concerned telling me 'she was always there if I needed someone to talk to' but I just couldn't bring it in me to confide in her. Even if I was starting to warm up to her she was still but a stranger.

She wanted to fly me to England to deal with my injuries but the doctors had advised me not to travel for at least a week, afraid I would worsen my injuries. If only they knew we would be traveling private. 

I learned I had sustained bruised ribs a concussion and various other cuts and nicks from the glass. I was in pain but it wasn't anything too big to worry about. As I always told myself, mind over matter. But knowing my mother I would have the best doctors, so there wasn't much to worry about.

My mother entered my room from filling out the paperwork "Hello dear, you dressed and ready to go." She looked my direction giving me a once over "hmm, are you sure you want to wear that and not something more...I don't know comfortable." I laughed at her comment "I'm good, I am comfortable and I'm just sick of those ratty hospital gowns." I have always believed a clean put together outfit can set the tone of your day, and since I don't know what this day has in store for me, I would rather have control over at least one thing.

She helped me down to the car where a driver was waiting for us. There were two more cars in the front and back with men in front scanning the area. I could see the outline of a gun in their suit jacket and a holster on their leg. Shes more serious than I had previously thought. The last time I saw this level of protection detail was the ball in Italy.  

***********

After a long drive we had made it to Moscow Private Jet Airport were we flying to my mothers, and soon to be my home in Olympia, England. 

After we were in the air my mom ushered me into the meeting area in the plane.

"Ok so I thought we would go over you new school" -Mom

"Ok, what there to go over I have transferred schools 15 other times."-Theodora 

"Well this school is a little different, it's a private academy known for teaching the world's future leaders, business men and women, and so on. But the students who go here usually start from middle school so it's very rare for there to be a new student."-Mom

"Oh, is it a boarding school?"- Theodora

"Well yes, since most students are from other part of the world it's better so students don't have to worry about housing and instead they can work on getting connections with their peers." -Mom

"It doesn't sound to bad, i've gone to my share or boarding schools in different parts of the world, that's how I learned to speak the different languages."-Theodora 

"That's great to know different languages do you know. I know French, English, and Spanish."-Mom

"Well funny you ask I'm actually a polyglot. I speak Russian, Japanese, German, Chinese, Spanish, Italian and my personal favorites French and English." -Theodora

My mothers mouth fell agape at that. "I guess it impressive, but honestly I had to so I could talk with my peers at all the different schools."-Theodora

"Wow, that's impressive. That will also make it easier."-Mom

"What do you mean easier?" -Theodora

"Well I was thinking in the beginning of your school life at Olympia we would try to hide your identity at the school. Since our name is quite prominent at the school I want you to go there for a month and see how you like the school and then maybe you can find some real friends, you know how fake people can be. Oh how could I forget we need to plan your coming out ball."-Mom

I thought she would never stop talking I thought chuckling to myself, but did she just say coming out? "Mom...im not a lesbian" -Theodor

She started laughing "No my dear a coming out ball is for you coming out into society, its tradition and then we can officially announce the heir to the Noor empire." She said smiling at me. 

I looked at her frozen with fear did she just say heir, i'm an heiress. Holy shit I mean I figured that but hearing it out from her was a different feeling. 

She must have noticed my hostility "Oh don't worry dear, you will be alright. After all whether they Know it or not your A Noor. We were born leaders." she said while getting up and leaving back to her seat. 

I sat there in my thoughts. What will the school be like? Will they treat me bad? Is the Noor family that important? I thought to myself while drifting of to sleep.
