the lost princess

the realization

Scarletts pov

After our run in today Katerina invited me to her house. I mean I should say castle, we walked in and went straight to her room. this place seems so familiar to me but I just can't place it. "Katerina are you home?" a women yells making me feel so relaxed. "yes mom in my room with a friend" Katerina replies. "may I come in?" the woman asks. "of course momma" Katerina says. the door opens and reveals this stunning woman who seems to stand frozen in the door way and looks like she's seen a ghost. "Lily...... I I is that y y you!" She chokes on her word trying to hold back tears. as soon as she asks me that question a rush of memories invade my mind, it's too much to handle that I became dizzy and welcomed the darkness that hugs me like a blanket.

My Lily is finally home but is now laying in a hospital bed. I'm yelling at the doctors asking them what's wrong with her. they keep telling me to be patient and let them do their job. I ended up getting pulled out of the room from my mate who is in tears. "Rose my darling you need to calm down and let them do their job," he says. I finally calm down and relax into his embrace. "Lane our baby is finally home I cant believe it." I cry into my mates shoulder. "I know babe, the doctors are making sure she's ok." he replies.

I hear a woman screaming at people asking them what's wrong and for a little while that's all I hear and the the woman walks out of the door. I start coming to my senses and hear beeping and people busling around. I try to open my eyes but can't. what is wrong with me? then all of a sudden everything comes back. I'm Lily strongheart the royal princess and was kidnapped when I was five by vampires. oh my God my mom she must be so worried after watching me faint. this time I try even harder to open my eyes and this time I succeed but quickly close them from the light being so bright. this time I slowly open my eyes blinking a few times to adjust to the lighting in the room.

the nurse is asking me all sorts of questions to which I reply to the best of my abilities. she then leaves and comes back with my mom and dad. I sit there stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do or say. "m m m mommy? d d d daddy?" I stutter out choking on my tears trying to hold them back. "yes baby we are here we finally have you back Lily and you are never leaving again besides school of course" they say and chuckle. then I remember my promise to Katerina and cry because I could keep it! they took me before I even got a chance to prove to be the best sister. "Katerina? where is she?" I ask with a sense of urgency. just as I'm asking the question she runs in and leaps on my making me laugh. "still jumping on beds I see" I say while laughing. "you remember?" She asks stunned. "of course I do and I'm so sorry I couldnt be the best sister I promised you I would be." I say. "what are we going to do about the vampires?" I ask. "well we will just tell them you are having a sleep over" my mom replies. I give her their phone number and I heard my mom say hi this is miss Stevenson I was just informing you that Scarlett is going to spend the night here is that ok. I then hear my mom say great she'll be home tomorrow after-school. tomorrow is Friday the 5 of November. one week before my birthday.

I hate that she has to go back to those vampires tomorrow but we want to keep her secret hidden and the best way to do that is play along with their stupid little game until lily's birthday which of course we have already planned for her to spend the night here and her so called parents agreed, still not knowing we are the royal family and that Lily has her memories back. I cant wait till she can move back in with us. just one more week I keep reminding myself.

it sucks I have to go back to that place today and call them mom and dad. I know I can act pretty well so I just have to wait just one more week and we'll be ok. I'll be going back to my home the night before my birthday. as of right now we are at school in gym class playing volleyball, the bullies keep trying to hurt me. they only do this because they think I'm the hottest girl in school and think it'll make me ugly, and now that my sister is here she is apparently the second hottest girl in school. I only know this because I over heard them in the girls bathroom, they didn't know I was in there so I just sat there and listened. at least they don't hate us just because, but have a reason to which still isnt justified but still ill give them the benefit of the doubt.

I decided to walk up to the group of girls and reach my hand out. "hi im Scarlett, and you girls are gorgeous by the way. I cant wait to see your mates faces drop to the floor for how pretty you girls are." I introduce myself. the girls look so stunned they have no words the queen bee looks at my hand then slowly reaches up to shake it. "I'm Shannon and thank you." She says. the rest of the girls I now know as Becka, Mary, and Kaseya, also introduced themselves. "look girls you don't have to bully me or my friends everyday you girls are beautiful and I think we could all be really good friends if you just give us a chance." I tell them. "why are you being so nice to us with all the mean stuff we've done to you?" Shannon asks, "well because everyone deserves a chance. so what do yall say?" I ask. "we are in, this is going to so much better and we are all sorry about the bullying and thank you for giving us a chance we know we don't deserve." they say, after I finished talking to them I brought them over to introduce them to Katerina, Kimberly and Carly. we all hangout for the remainder of the class until I got called to the principles office.

I walk into principle Londons office and sit down where he asked me too. "I called you in her cause a teacher report that you confronted you bullies with kindness and now are friends?" he says. "yes that is correct why?" I ask. "well you are getting the student of the year award at the end of the year for your kindness and strongheart," he replies with a wink. "you havent told my fake parents have you!" I squeak out. " OH no I would never, you are far to kind to be with them anyways im honoured to have you here your highness you'll make a great queen as your sister will make a great beta." he replies. I say my thanks and head back to my group of friends who are laugh because Katerina fell face first on the ground trying to hear what principle London was saying. "that's what you get for ease dropping my dear friend," I say. the girls are in tears now because the look on katerinas face was priceless. lucky for me my identity is still a secret.

"do you think we all will stay in the same pack together?" I ask. "I don't know, but I really hope so." Lily replies. this is a whole lot to take in and no one k ows scarlett is Lily. my wolf is slowly making her presence known in my head, which is getting super excited. the other girls are still talking while I'm off in my own world trying to figure everything out. guess time will tell.
