Dark Stranger

The Day I Could Not Remember.

Dear diary, I was frozen with fear and Excitement of what I was find when I gathered the courage to ask my first question. Taking a deep breath on a very low whisper. The man in front of me . how do you know me and who am I to you. At first I thought he did not hear me but then I saw his body stiffened as if he expected me to ask a simple question first before uttering those words. Taking a deep breath you reply to me you ask the hard question first.That’s a very hard question to answer. without you answering a question of my own. He reply back to me with a lot of worry in his eyes.If I am to answer a question for you my little moon you must first answer one for me he spoke in a calm serious voice. I shall answer your question as best I can I replied to him with hesitation in my voice. what do you want to ask me? I was so worry about what he would ask me. For what if he was wrong about him know who I am. what if he mistakingly thought I was someone else. he always calls me little moon , not by my name. what if it is someone else. he is looking for. As I ponder a million questions that we're in my head. I was so busy thinking and filled with fear and worry. I did not hear him speak. until he was waving his hand in front of me and saying little moon are you there , can you hear me. I was startled and step back for I did not realize how close he was to me. I spoke with a slight tremor in my voice, yes I can hear you and what did you say before? he replied that I asked you what is your full name and Do you have a twin sister? I was scare to answer the questions because maybe it was not me. He was looking for maybe it was my twin sister Lily. I try to speak as calm and clearly as I could to hide the rising fear in my heart. but I don't if I sounded calm when I asked. My name is Luna Alexandria Drave and I have a twin sister named Lily Theodora Drave. After I answer his question. His face broke out out in a big smile with tears in his eyes. so it is you , I had always hope that you were alive not dead as everyone claimed. my sweet little moon . I have missed you greatly . I told him if you know me please answer my question now that I have answered yours. I was getting frustrated from not knowing the truth of the man before me. He knew me but I could swear I never laid my eyes on him. how did he know me? I am but a girl from a small village in the middle of nowhere with no title or fame or riches to my name. nothing but a commoner. I put this very thoughts into words. he replied he a calming voice, You are so much more then that and I will answer your question but first I must tell you a story of a day you cannot remember. (long ago I was just a boy of the age of five . I was playing in the garden by the palace when my mother called over and said the queen of light had just had twin daughters and one of my was going to be my bride. I was just a boy so I did not understand at the time what my mother meant when she said that. All I knew was the queen of light , queen Theodora lilian Drave and the king of the light , king Alexander Luan Drave were bringing their twin newborn daughters to the palace for me to meet them. I was looking forward to meeting the new babies. I was so excited I forgot all about my manners. For the moment I heard they had arrived I run into the throne room at top speed. I was so fast I bump into a small table near the throne knocking it over and waking and scaring the newborn princesses. The queen managed to calm down the little princess Lily but she could not calm down the princess Luna no matter what she did. The king trying to calm his little daughter down by singing a lullaby but nothing would calm her down. my parents were growing frustrated with the little princess crying so loud. I ask if I could try to calm her down. At first the queen was a against it because I was just a little boy with no experience with babies . what if he drop her, the queen said. I promise I would not drop the little princess. my parents growing more irritated yelled let the boy try. So with lots of hesitation the queen show me how to hold a baby and place the crying princess in my arms. I spoke in a quiet soothing voice and said your okay my little moon no one's going to hurt you. I got you , you are safe. I will protected you so please don't cry. The moment I spoke those word little princess Luna layed calmly in my arms looking up at me with a little smile. I looked down at her and smile and said that my little moon . Little did I know the next moment she would be rip from my arms. the queen snatched her away from me. when my father said little princess Luna will be his bride. the queen argued that the princesses should be able to pick when are older who will for fill the truce and marry the prince. But no one would listen to her Because the prince and princess Luna seem fated to be together. But the the queen would not listen to her husband on this matter for she believed fated pairs did not exist. So after everyone except queen Theodora agree to the arrangement . they left to headed back home to they kingdom. the prince did not want the princess to leave but his mother assured him that he would see her again very soon. little did he know that the princesses would die then next day suddenly or so that was they were told.) Little did they know that it would turn out to be a lie for here you are. He said after finishing his story. I am so happy you are alive and well I always felt you were still out there alive somewhere . so I never stop searching for you know matter what everyone else thought. he said with tears in his eyes and happiness in his voice. After hearing his story I was in shock. I could not believe that I was a princess and this man was my betrothed. But somehow I knew deep in my heart it was true. also help by hearing my parents names I knew where me and my sister got our names from. I just had so many questions for the man and woman that I call mom and dad. who I had just found out we're no my real parents. who are they and how did they become are guardians? And why would the queen fake our deaths. The only way I would find answers to these would be to confront my parents and the queen. But confronting the queen would have to come latter. first I had to confront the people who raise me and Lily and tell Lily we are princesses and I am engaged to a prince. I rather be eaten by a pack of wolves then do that my sister ego is big as a house already without adding this to it. But I have no choice I must know the answer to my questions. likely I will have my mysterious stranger with me in this difficult journey ahead.
