Narrator:

At Ever Realm Academy...

Sofia POV:

We arrived at ERA...

The place was huge. Filled with castle like buildings. As if I were in a fantasy myself...I sighed at such sight. The fact that I would miss such beauty pained me.

"Let's get going Sofia," Mom directed. I nodded.

We headed towards the direction of the Head mistress..

**in front of the office**

As we walked to knocked on the door, I noticed a small squirrel running through the hall. I giggled. I wonder who he belonged to...

"Welcome to Ever Realm Academy your majesties," she said, "I am Headmistress Omarah- Caitlin Omarah."

"Greeting Headmistress Omarah," Mom and Dad said, as Dad held out his hand in response, "a pleasure to meet you."

"Greetings Headmistress", I responded.

"Oh well hello there future student", she said," so what do I owe the pleasure for meeting you here in person today?"

"Well-", Mom said, "It's about our daughter's enrollment here.."

Dad told the Headmistress about our situation, and let me just say it wasn't nice hearing it again.

"Well that is quite unfortunate but we could gladly arrange an agreement here. They both nodded in agreement before turning to me..

"Sofia, this might take a while," Mom said, "why don't you explore the school."

"Such a fabulous idea," Headmistress Omarah said, "we have a beautiful garden for you to observe."

I nodded.

As I walked out, I realized the squirrel was no longer running through the hall. I ignored the thought and walked towards the garden. Hall after hall, I saw the amazing classes and electives I could take.

I got to the garden and noticed this large tree in the middle. It resembled so much that of the secret library. It felt comforting. I sat under it, and went into deep thought. Without even knowing I was thinking of how these few years would turn out. I would be alone without my sibling and soon be off my own. I kept thinking..of what would happen and become of me..I was to busy thinking of that, that I forgot my plan to tell Hugo I liked him.

I sighed. "ughhh", I grabbed my head... What was I going to do..

Out of no where a acorn came flying out and hit me on the head...

"Ouch", I cried out. "What was that.."

Then a squirrel came rushing out.

"GET BACK HERE!" a boy said jumping out of the tree.

The squirrel quickly noticed me and used me as a detour. It jumped on me and pushed me to the boy.

Oh no, I'm going to bump into him.

^BAM^

"Ouw, now this one hurt, " I said, looking down.

"Yeah, your not kidding..your pretty heavy," something responded under me.

It wasn't until I looked up that I realized that I landed on the boy. I blushed. I was embarrassed.

I'm so so sorry," I said and got up as fast as I could.

"Its cool," the boy said. "It was the squirrel's fault either way."

As I got up dusting off the dirt off my dress I got an extended hand out.

"Come on," he said, " I'll help you up."

"Thanks"

While I was still busy, the boy muttered to what seems to be to the squirrel.

"That dam rascal, I'll get you next time!"

Squeak squeak!

Everything was confusing at this point. A boy and a squirrel crossing my path and just the conversation between them was pretty off and funny. I giggled.

**The boy turned his attention to Sophia

"Sooo..why is there a princess here in this garden?"

This garden? I thought, who wouldn't. It was the perfect spot to think and forget about life. It helped me stop thinking about Hugo for a bit.

"Uh..hello, just looking around," I said

"Hmm..okay," he said turning

" uh oh I'm Princess Sophia of Enchancia..and you are?"

"Elijah..."

"Oh well-"

Elijah turned as Sophia was talking and left her there.

Well that was rude, I thought. Continuing to dust off my dress as it was soon time to find my parents again.

As I walked in to meet my parents in the Headmistress's office, I stumbled into photo frames in the hall way, I saw photo frames of previous generations and admired one. It seemed oddly familiar but I headed off right away.

**Meanwhile*

Elijah POV:

I was observing Sophia from my hiding place in the trees. She was admiring a photo frame, and I realized who it was.

"So it has begun huh?" turning to the photo graph Sofia saw of my ancestor. "Seems like you don't know where to stop do you..." Looking up at the sky..to the seven star of the constellation Andromeda.

Things will get interesting huh, smirked at the thought,as I turned to leave....

Roland's POV:

**Fast forward*

Miranda and I had already signed the paper work for our daughters when Sophia knocked on the door. Perfect timing I thought.

"Ready Dad?"

"We're ready." I said, "Let's go home for dinner."
