Getting my backpack ready for my very first class of college has me doing my happy dance, it's also my 18 birthday so tonight we are going to a party! To think I'm finally legal, my dad has my brothers working on the party at home, my brothers are all older than me so I'm the baby princess, daddy's princess and I am the queen of the dancefloor.
Putting on my mascara to give my brown eyes a little pop, then my cat eyeliner, simple light pink lipgloss to my full lips, and straightening the curls of my heart shape face I look phenomenal, today I get to paint my hair red for the very first time before I start my classes to become an attorney for the board of education for minors. If I am allowed to have my education, why can't other children also be allowed to study, schools shouldn't make a person feel bad just because they can't pay, it's ridiculous but I will make a difference, I love life and life loves me just as much. Finally ready, I put on my clothes to my hourglass figure, always the fashion girl, never it girl. Wearing my red crop top and skinny jeans with my gold heels and matching gold jewelry set I am ready to go. Super happy I did my nails last night with mom, looking one last time at my room, it's cleaned, fresh, and neatly placed. I lock the door with my key, 3 brothers can get so snoopy around here. It's a wonder how they can be on dates, as in plural. Walking to the living room I can smell the eggs and sausage all ready, setting my bag in my seat I go to help mom make the table. As if they had hearing aids, all 3 of my brothers ran to the dining room. "Hey hey hey, this ain't no rodeo, walk in my house, and have you cleaned yourselves before you sit down to eat?" My mother yells at the 3 of them and I stuck my tongue out seeing how annoyed they got at being yelled at first thing in the morning. "Common mom, we have been working since 5 am and we aren't even ready for class today." My eldest brother Jaime is really annoying and so full of himself, but when he whines it's like a chihuahua. "Mom it's my birthday and he is my ride for my first present if he gets it all done in less than 15 minutes he can have a second plate if not I eat the second plate for him." Placing my hand on my hip as if on quiet Jaime groans, "Fine I will do it, don't eat my food Princess!" he runs to the bathroom and I hear the door slam, then I hear it again. Mom shakes her head as she goes back to the kitchen still in her gown pajama and slippers, mom is old-fashioned at home. But out or expecting visitors the woman is a model, we look exactly alike, I just look younger than her. Before I can go with mom Jaime runs in again, he is well dressed and smelling good, which only means one thing, I put my hands on my hips and look at his slick smile with my annoyed smile. "You have a date on my birthday." I huff and my two brothers Ferdinan and Tito laugh at me. I cross my hands and yell for dad, he is my savior all the time. "DADDY!! THE BOYS ARE PICKING ON ME AGAIN!!!" While I was yelling for dad they were telling me to ush, I kept walking away and putting the chairs in between us, when dad hugs me, I squeal. "Boys you all know not to pick on our princess, or do you all feel generous in an extra shift at work today?" Dad says it playfully but I know my brothers hate being put to work for free. Mom enters with the rest of the food and sits down at the table. We all run, and by we all run, I mean my dad runs faster than the 4 of us. After we eat, Jaime takes me to the Salon and I look like a vixen. My red hair is all long and straight. I am ready for my first day of school. Alexander POV Another day of class, how fun. I'm sitting at my desk listening to my private teacher's lecture on our kingdom's laws in compensation for unwanted reasons, bla bla bla. I'd rather be on the patrol with my friends and learn how things work out of this castle. I'm the only son of 5 children, the second to be born. My father has this idea that the gods are not in his favor, why? Because I don't look like him, my siblings do, not even to my mother. But I am his. It turns out my father looks like my great-grandfather. When I look like my grandfather, straight brown light hair, a slim facial appearance, and bright green eyes. Not to mention my father looks like a bear and I look like a model to a fitness magazine. Being royal is not as it seems, my people don't even look at my family with respect, everything is dictated. "Prince Alexander, did you understand your lecture today?" I nod my head, I know nothing of what he said but I'm willing to bet the apprentice does, she is a small girl with glasses, for a werewolf she has bad eyesight but an excellent memory that even my teacher is put into shame. "Professor, if I may ask for a break, I'm in need of the bathroom." He nods at me and goes to switch the book he had in his hands, I roll my eyes at his attempt to play it cool. Ever since I turned 18, I have only been studying to be King. For more visit Author Meg Elly Gerena in Facebook groups
Alexander POV
Walking back to the study room from the bathroom, I see my sister is waiting next to my desk, she looks similar to my mother except for her brown eyes which are the same as our father's. She has a diamond face, black wavy hair tied in a bun, tanned skin in a tight orange dress, and curvy all over, she is the eldest of us, straightening her pose she clears her throat for the attention. The professor, the assistant, and I give her the attention. "If you can all excuse my brother he is needed in the Kings quarters. Excuse us both." She takes her lower gown in her hand, to leave and I follow behind her, once outside I walk next to her, hoping she can explain a bit what is happening. Ou father doesn't ask for me, if anything he has my sisters or his council to do it, he leaves me to study, to be educated and trained for when it is my time to rule. The only reason he asks for me is that he needs something from me. My sister and I haven't stopped walking and she is not speaking, so I stop walking. Making her annoyed with her sighs and I cross my hands on my chest. "I don't have to follow his orders you know? If the matter is not serious, I can move forward with anything else that is important. Tell me why I was summoned, I hate waiting time, especially on him." My dry tone and annoyance are shot straight at my sister and she looks unbothered. She moves to face me from her pose as she answers me two guards are placed one on each side of me. "Father asks for you for he has a warrant on his hands. It seems he has made bad choices and wishes for your presence to fix them. Just follow me and do as he says Alexander, he is not going to live forever and you know it." She starts to walk back after her words, while I'm nervous. The Hilltop castle is built above a tall mountain, the sheer height of the castle above the local area also protects the occupants of the castle from bombardment, being the highest hilltop shows we are the highest ranked, apart from our gods. The entire castle outside is of red bricks and red rooftops. The inside consists of gold, red, and red rubies. Our lands only hold three basic creatures, Werewolves, Vampires, and Humans. Since humans are the weakest, we decided to make sure they stay as far away from us as possible. Werewolves don't hide but we did make it clear our lands from them. Walking in front of my father's office the smell of humans and Vampire is unmistakable. Turning to see my sister, she is as surprised as I am, the doors open and we both walk in. When our father sees my sister take steps inside he growls and slams the desk. "No women are allowed in here! OUT!" Our father shouts at her, she bows and leaves the room. Hearing the doors close behind me, my father takes his seat again, I breathe heavily to not show a single sign of hate, he can be many things but to me, he is a joke for a King, he is no father to me just a caretaker and whats even worse, he is the same to me. "Come, closer Prince, we have many things to discuss." He says a bit loud. As I see in the room for a moment, I can see he is making the human, Gordon irritated, he is in charge of the human population, anything that has to do with humans he is their leader and the Vampire Orpheus is beyond done with this, clearly, even he is tired, and nothing has actually started. I take my walk to the nearest sofa, seeing as the big room has the desk with a chair where my father sits, there are four sofa chairs, Gordon is sitting in the right, Orpheus is on the left and I sit in the middle. Orpheus clears his throat and his father stops writing whatever it was. "Now that we are all settled here, we must have a very important conversation over a small matter that Orpheus and I discovered. Apparently, there is a new lead in the business of a vampire who mated a Human, a beloved if memory serves me right." Father looks at Orpheus who is nodding. Each kingdom has its term of a partner, Humans call them a partner, Vampires call them Beloved ones and Werewolves call them Mates. It is common for humans to have a mixed breed but it is either one or the other, no true mix actually exists. If they did we would be in a war with them. "Yes, I have been aware of that as well, but why are we here to speak of that matter only?" Gordon asks and he sounds lost in this conversation. Typical, humans are always behind in these important conversations, as he asked an omega boy walks to my father who he gives three folders, the omega passes it around, as each one of us takes one we open to read it. The documents in this folder are a detail of the Vampire known as Julian Mole and his Human Jenny. It shows nothing different, even their child who is named Justin, but then I read one part that took me by surprise. According to the file, Julian adopted a group of a total of five humans, and within the eighteen years of their lives, have one by one died of, natural causes. This doesn't make sense, I read it twice, still does not make sense, I finish the report and look at my father with a worried face. Placing the folder back to that one page, waiting for the others to finish their reading. For more visit Author Meg Elly Gerena in Facebook groups
Daphne POV
"Hurry it up you big dork!" I shout at my brother who hasn't stopped being on the phone, if he could he would marry his cellphone at any given moment. He shoots daggers at me and I pinch his nose for looking at me wrong, how dare he. I am not going to be bullied by him. Before he can say another word, I take his cellphone and press the red button, he shouts at me for doing that. "Hey! Not cool Daph, I almost had a date with that girl!" I roll my eyes at him. "You could say whatever it is, the girl will still dump you, I got all the good stuff from Mom and Dad, so you three only have to take care of me, the Princess of the house!'' I wiggle to the rhythm of the music in the mall. "You are always in way out of your head Daph, maybe when you get a boyfriend you will calm down. Man, how am I going to get this girl, Daph you will lose a nail if you try that again." He threatens me and I stuck my tongue out at him. He drives me to a place I wasn't expecting to go, the Driver's License and ID Cards. He parks the car and gives me a playful smile. "Why are we here? I have college soon and the time is still early but I would like to get a head start so I'm not the 'it' girl of college you know?" I sound nervous and I am. "Yea, well I don't want to drive a diva every day and neither do the other two and since we love you so much, we are basically buying our freedom from you with a car and a license, so let's go or you will be late for not only college but for your diverse exam." My mouth drops at what my brother just said. I passed my driver's exam with flying colors! YES! Even my brother admitted I was good, my smile is over the moon, if I keep smiling like this my cheeks are going to hurt me so badly tomorrow. Walking outside after having my perfect picture taken I see a red convertible in the driveway. My brother side hugs me and whispers in my ear. "Happy birthday Daphne!" I place my hands on my mouth and jump from the excitement. "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!!!!! I love it!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I shout excitedly to my brother as I hug him tight. When I fee the waterworks coming, I stop and step back palming my hands on my eyes to stop from ruining my makeup, ugh, it's such a perfect day. My brother gives me a key with a chain that has my name in glitter 'DAPHNE', I take it and run to my new baby. Sitting in my brand new car, my brother comes to my side, he lowers to my window, places his hands on it, I start my car and it feels so good, its an automatic car set, clearly it's not brand new, but it was recently refurbished and well put together if I have to guess. I say daddy and the bros did this for me. "Dad and us worked hard on this baby, but she is good to go. Has the best in music, easy to not get on any accidents and clean, keep it clean Daph I mean it, this baby is so good, even I would take it for myself." He gushes on his work and I feel so happy to have this birthday gift. "Now I feel bad for the call end, but still it's my birthday so I am going to forgive myself." I smile brightly at him as he looks at me with doubts. "I should have kept the car and money if you were going to be so mean to me." I frown at him and my cell rings in the car, my brother jumps and hits his head on the ceiling of the car, making me laugh, I grab my cell and see it's my best friend, I hit green and he speaks thru the car. "Hey! Here's my birthday girl! Happy birthday Diva Daph! Ready to party tonight?" I look at my brother who kisses my cheek as he mouths the words 'Bye'. He leaves and I drive to college. "Well after school, but only if my grade of attendants looks good, I gotta always look the part and feel the part too, how about you Orlando? You ready to have some fun baby?" I ask him excited today is such a good day, he laughs on the other side as he answers me I stop by the C - Donuts to buy my coffee and a nice hot egg with ham sandwich. Arriving at the parking of my college I see Orlando walking up the end of the parking lot, I park my car where my last class is, once my classes are done I get to go straight to my baby. Getting out Orlando hugs me. "Girl this car is the bomb, look at this baby, you did not work on this car, your brothers did and it shows, why does it already smell like coffee and a ham with egg sandwich?" He asks me as I sip and eat my food in his face. Walking to my last class, each time I glance around me, guys are checking me out. Which makes me smile, I know I look good, heck I know I am the best. But still, the day feels too plain, so far I have met all my girls who are also studying law, we all agreed to go to JoJy's Disco when my birthday party at home was done. "Diva, how has the day gone for you so far?" Orlando asks me and I smile at him. For more visit Author Meg Elly Gerena in Facebook groups
