REINCARNATION

Patience Is A Virtue

Amber Calvin(Azura)

i sighed as I looked through my creature guide, it's hard tracking them down like this, without Hazel or Fiona, it's even harder to fight them alone, this week's bust went beyond wrong, at least sometimes I beat some of them but this time was even harder, with sneaking out and finding it and just being me.

"Amber!!" I heard Estella yell. i lay on the bed and stare at the ceiling, Estella's my elder sister by one year. "Azura!!!" she yelled and I groaned. she knew my secret, I told her because she saw me using my powers the first time they were coming through. I'd grown to love her more than any family, i didn't have Fiona or Hazel but she was for me and I couldn't lie to her

"yes, love" I turned on the bed and face the door as she burst in.

"Amber, I told you not to go hunting without me" she says and lays next to me on the bed.

unlike my other siblings from other lives, Esty has hobbies, magic related ones. she liked to collect ancient and mystic flowers and plants.

After I told her about magic, she wanted me to teach her a magic art so she could protect me. I thought her how to use magical plants to make special potions and spells that can help her help me.

"i didn't know where you went, I couldn't lose it so I went after it without you" I said, even raising my voice hurt, that thing really did a number on me. "where were you, anyway?"

"looking for this" she dipped her hand into her travel bag and brought out a bright orange flower. "phoenix flower, found it at the side of an active volcano"

"i told you to stop going on dangerous trips without me" I snapped. "you could have gotten hurt"

"are we even allowed to go anywhere?" she sighs loud and scoots closer to me on the bed. "I'm sorry and look, I'm fine. I wouldn't do anything that could really hurt me" she pressed her lips against my cheek. "how the hell did you get out of the house?"

"magic, duh" I told her and swirled a finger until a small portal the size of my palm opened.

"whoa" she said in awe and tried to put her hand through but I closed my palm and closed it in the process. "why?!"

'learn to open your own portals yourself' I told her. "also, I don't know where the f**k that thing leads"

"that's why I have the phoenix flower, it gives the ability to open portals, it says so in the flower guide" she said excitedly. this was her thing, she'd always been the smart one. "don't you thing you need help, maybe from Hazel and Fiona?"

'if I can find them, I can't even leave this goddamn house talk more of go anywhere' i sighed and pick my remote from the table and turned on the TV. it was usually on this teen voguish gossip channel call clue.

"... on other news, the model Mayura Clay, daughter of fashion designer Martinez Clay, has been enrolled into Myriad high school, along with the daughters of Gains Calvin, Amber and Estella Calvin" the reporter on TV said. Daughters of who now?

"Oh em geee!!!" Esty exclaimed, flying from the bed. "did she just say daughters of Gains Calvin"

'if my ears weren't still ringing from the echo I hunted down last week, I would have said yes' I said tiredly. I heard it loud and clear and I was kind of excited. I could be going to high school again. the place was a treacherous battle field but I kind of missed the place.

A soft knock came on the door. "come in Jenna" I said immediately, I knew my maid's aura. it was soft and motherly.

"good day, miss Estella. good day, miss Amber" she greeted.

'good afternoon Aunt' Esty greeted.

'hi, Aunt' I said too. we call her Aunt because our real mother is just a b***h who doesn't give a s**t but chooses to keep us here like prisoners, the only times we escape are if Esty has a photoshoot outside the country, I go if mom is in a good mood or when the press crowd the house too much, I'm not allowed to even take picture or post on social media because "it's for my own safety".

'your father has called for you, you must go speak to him now' she said and I nodded. 'both of you'

'me?' I asked confusedly. dad never calls me for anything.

'what?!!!' I said. I regret everything. 'i can't do that, I won't!'

'Amber!!' dad yelled.

'you want me to make friends with Mayura Clay just to steal her father's designs' I said angrily. 'im not doing that, I'll prefer continuing my home schooling if this is why you want to send me to high school'

'Amber, you will do it or I will strip you of any right to leave this house, as of now, you have bathed our family name in mud, God knows what ungodly thing you were doing in that warehouse' dad said disappointedly.

'i told you already, I slipped and fell'

'what were you doing there?!'

'running away from this prison you call a home!!!' I yell back, adding a little of my magic aura to make him back down, which worked because he blinked twice and sat down.

'Amber, this is a picture of Mayura, when you get to school tommorow, find her and become friends with her, that will be the only way to clear our family name' he said dropped a file on the table and walked out on me.

'f*****g asshole, who does he think he is?' I mutter as he leaves. oh, yeah, he's my father

'your father' Esty said chucklingly. she walked over to the table and opened the file that contains Mayura Clay's pictures. "i've seen Mayura Clay before, she's really pretty, blonde hair, grey eyes and a dashing smile, you'll love her looks"

"the way you described her, it sounded just like Hazel" I sighed, her grey eyes flashing through my head. 'beautiful gray eyes that read your soul, that golden sun hair, her beautiful pink lips and her pretty cupid's bow'

"I swear, you just described Mayura Clay" Esty said. "look" she waved the picture in my face.

"oh, my god" I gasped. "That is Hazel!!" I snatched the picture from her. "oh my God, Hazel"

"Mayura Clay is your friend Hazel, what about Fiona?"

"i don't know but if I find Hazel, finding Fiona won't be that hard" the tears I've fought for years came flowing down my cheek.

"oh Amber" Esty said and pulled me into a hug. "i know you miss her, you've found her so don't cry" she cooed. but I kept sobbing, I've missed her so much. "i have a shoot in ten, I'll see you later okay?" I sniffed and nodded. She pulled away and headed for the door.

I stared at the picture, Hazel flashing that heart melting smile of hers. I've finally found you

Victoria (Fiona)

for the first time ever, I truly loved the power of money, I never really liked money, even though I've been born into so many rich families. I know money is important but I didn't like to appreciate or acknowledge it. that's why I was glad being born as the daughter of a maid. "Fiona, what are you thinking about?" Mayura asks. I prefer calling her by her new name rather than Hazel.

"d**k" she chuckled.

"is there anytime you're not thinking about it?"she said and I shrugged. The school was magnificent, the uniforms were red, purple and gray. students walked the halls with their head held high and with regalia. I've never really been intimidated by them, intimidation is just another form of fear and I won't let myself be afraid.

two girls walked past me, one had red hair, she was wearing a short purple skirt, gray long sleeve shirt and a loose red tye. The other one had blonde hair as long as mine - stops at her waist though mine is naturally blue, cool, right? - she was dressed the same as the other one and once I walked past her, her scent hit me. "Hazel"

"i felt it" she said immediately. I smiled at her. we walked towards the administration block and sat down, sitting quietly like we don't exist. "well look into it later, I just wanna get this whole high school thing over with, hopefully, I won't be here long" she sighed.

I saw a girl skip towards us, a bright smile on her pretty face, her skin was so light , like she'd never been outside before. "Hi" she said.

"Hello" Hazel said nonchalantly. Hazel squinted her eyes at her "do I know you from somewhere?"

"yes but its nice to finally meet you, I've heard so much from Amby about you guys-" she gushed.

"wait, what are you talking about?"

"aren't you two Hazel and Fiona?" she asked with a tilt of her head and Hazel immediately snapped back to her. "I'm Estella Calvin, Azura or Amber's present sister"

"Azura" Hazel sat up right. "is she here?"

"no, we're supposed to be starting tommorow but I couldn't help it, I really wanted to meet you and I'm very curious about you guys, so here I am" she ended on a giggle. "bye for now, see you tommorow, don't wanna keep my bodyguard waiting"

Hazel wanted to follow her but I held her hand. "patience is a virtue sweetheart, it's just a day" I said softly. she looked at me and let out a defeated sigh.
