Elemental Queen

Crystal POV "Young lady, you had better be up already or you will be late for your final fitting!" My mom was yelling up the stairs as I was exiting my bathroom as I had just finished my shower. "Yes mom I'm up! I'll be down in a bit. I'm just getting dressed." As I looked at the clock on my bedside table, I noticed that it was 9:30 in the morning and my final fitting for my gown for tomorrow was at 10:30. I go into my closet and find my black skinny jeans and my favorite hot pink tank and put them on. Leaving my closet, I put on my black leather jacket and my knee-high black boots. As I grabbed my backpack that had my wallet, helmet and keys, there was a knock on my door. Without waiting for a come in from me, my door opens and standing there is my twin and best friend, Steel. Sometimes I wonder how we are twins when he stands at 6 feet tall, and I am only 5 feet tall. Both of us have dark brown hair and brown eyes with gold flecks on them. Unfortunately, that is where the likeness ends. "Hey brat, you ready to go? If we don't leave soon, I am pretty sure mom might just have a major coronary. You know she wants everything to be perfect." "Ya, I'm ready Steel. Hey, don't you think mom is going a little overboard with this whole birthday planning thing? I mean, like hello we don't need the whole world to know that we are 16 now. And.....and.....and" "Whoa slow down, OK. Yes, mom may be going a little overboard, but hey come on. We only turn 16 once and, plus I'll be right there next to you making sure that all that crazy leaves you alone, ok. So come on, let's go. Maybe we can get some food while we are there, ok?" I nodded and started walking down the stairs with Steel right beside me. We head to the garage where we have our motorcycles parked. Yep, that's right motorcycles. Trust me, my mom was not happy when my dad came in with both sets of keys for me and Steel. You see, my mom always wanted me to be this perfect little fragile flower, but I wound up turning into my daddy's little tomboy. I prefer to ride my bike over driving a car. As Steel walked over to his Harley-Davidson Livewire, I could just feel my mom lingering behind me as I walk to my hot pink custom BMW S 1000 RR. "Yes mom, did I forget anything that you need me to do for you? We are going to be late, and I don't want to be." "No dear. I just wish that you didn't insist on riding that thing. You could hurt yourself and I don't know what we would do if....." "Kara, dear, let her be. You know that Steel will be there, so I know for a fact that she will be fine." my father, John, came up behind my mother and held her close to him. "Go on you two and be careful, ok." "We will, Dad, we promise!" Both Steel and I replied as we put on our helmets and kicked off, heading to the mall within our territory. --------------- "Seriously, Steel, I hate wearing dresses. Why can't I just wear jeans? It's so not cool." I find myself saying as soon as we get home from the mall with our clothes in our arms. "I mean I get it, Raylynn may love getting all pretty and everything, but I hate it and mom knows that....." "Hey sis chill. You'll be fine and just think of all that pink leather on your dress that mom will hate," Steel consoled me as I nodded, thinking of the dress that was made for me for tomorrow. "Your right, it is pretty awesome, but not as awesome as your neon green leather suit. You know for a fact she is going to really hate that." "Ya I know, but I couldn't let my favorite sis be the only one having some awesome leather on tomorrow. Plus think of Raylynn's face when we come walking down in our outfits. She hates leather more than mom does." We both start laughing as we walk up the stairs to put our outfits in our rooms. At the top of the stairs, our dad is waiting for us with a smile on his face. You see our mother may dote on our older sister and little brother, but us twins are the dream pair for our dad. "Hey you two. After you put that stuff down come see me in my office, ok. I need to talk to you guys about tomorrow." "Sure thing dad," we say as we rush to our rooms to hang our outfits up, and then we make our way to our dad's office on the first floor. Our dad is the alpha of the pack that we live in and is loved by all. As we all file in and shut the door, dad turns to us from the window that looks out over the garden that put so many hours in for him to have something beautiful to look out at. "As you both know, tomorrow you will get your hair color and supernatural beings and there are some rules that you must follow no matter what. First, when you wake up in the morning, you are required to take a shower and when you are done, you must cover your head so no one but you know what the color change is. You are allowed to show each other but no one else. Second, at the time of your birth, which is 7:45 in the evening, we will announce you guys at the party, and you will at that time be receiving your being. As your alpha, you are required to tell me what that being is right away. After you let me know what your being is, your mother and I will have you come to the stage where you will reveal your hair color, and we will decide where you will be sent to... Follow these rules and everything should go very smoothly." At this time, I noticed that dad had tears in his eyes. "Daddy, are you ok? Why are you crying?" I said, standing up and coming over to his chair. When I reached him, he reached out and pulled me into his lap. "I am ok sweetie. I am just sad because there may be a chance that I will lose you two. I can only hope that you guys are wolves so that you can stay here with us forever. Don't get me wrong, I will love you guys no matter what you are, but I can only pray to the Goddess that you can stay here." "I am sure that everything will go well tomorrow, dad. I promise you that no matter what, I will protect Crystal with all that I have," Steel looks at dad with tears and determination strong in his eyes. "Thank you, Steel, and I know you will. Now both of you go and eat your dinner and then head to bed. You both have a big day ahead of you tomorrow." Nodding our heads, we took off and did what we were told, thinking only of tomorrow as we both headed off to sleep.
