Diamond’s Domain

Oh My

Opal (POV)

Diamond we have shocked her. I need you to listen to me and do exactly what I say. Diamond this is imperative. We are a team, please trust me.

Looking out through Diamond’s Sparkling Lavender eyes I know Hatte is not the only one shocked. Diamond seems frozen. I have to get her attention before, we wake up Hatte’s .. Oh my never mind we woke her.

DIAMOND snap out of it, hurry. Di .. I am here Opal, oh my thank you Diamond.

Do you trust me?

Yes, of course Opal, I trust you; we are one being. Good, you scared me for a moment. I have to block you out for a quick second. Please take a deep breath and hold it in. Perfect, thank you Diamond, I will explain soon.

Diamond took her deep breath, as the little girl in front of me slapped a hand over her mouth, and her eyes were getting so big I was thinking they might pop out.

Hello Hatte, I am Opal, I am going to have you close your eyes and take in a deep breath. Good now hold it until I tell you to let it out. To her credit the girl just nodded and followed my instructions.

Oh my hades, YOU, YOU ARE DEAD!!! Funny Jazzy I do not feel dead. Do I look dead, hold on a minute, Jazzy.

Mirror? Yes Opal, do I look dead to you, no beautiful you are well and truly alive, yeah I thought so.

Jazzy, it appears I am alive, as in not dead. Now unless you would like me to unalive you, or maybe give you a couple millennia in Cipher’s circle, I suggest you block your human and listen to my words very carefully.

Oh Father really, Jazzy again, how many times to I have to banish her.

Yes, Ms Opal, what is it you think I want to hear from you? I roll my eyes.. toddlers are easier than this witch. Jazzy, get snarky with me one more time, and I will not even give you the benefit of the doubt; I will bullet train your witchy self straight to the circle. A chorus of cackles is heard by both of us, Opal dear, we do not want her back. Seriously, did The High Priestesses, just banish you again? Will you ever learn?

Here is the thing Jazzy, I have a very specific mission I must complete with this human, get in my way or stop any forward progress and I will unalive you without warning, nor trial. Do I have your attention yet? Yes, yes she and her wolf half both answered. I rubbed her wolf’s head and asked her, what did you do that Selene would pair you with this witch for eternity? The wolf put her head down on her paws as my aura started coming forward slowly. The beautiful beast just let out her breath and said, I volunteered. I asked Mother to let me pair with her. You what? Oh never mind that for now, we will get together for brunch one day soon and you can explain. I smiled at the beautiful beast, then turned at stared directly into to witches spirits; you will do as you are told. Nod your head if you understand, she nodded. Good choice, first and foremost no one in this Domain knows of me, we are going to keep it that way correct Jazzy? My aura was still slowly creeping out, she just nodded as she knelt at my feet.

Jazzy your human is not to meet you for three more months, you will make sure to control yourself this time; we will not have a repeat of Salem, will we? Jazzy flinched at the memory I sent her of being burned alive. Opal, my queen, I will behave she said. Good I am going to release the humans, not even a growl from your lips are we clear? Yes. Oh and Jazzy I think I’ll hold onto this for you until I deem you deserve it back, I took both her book of spells and her wand. Opal, I need those to help my human, she pleaded. No Jazzy you do not, I released more of my aura and she lowered her eyes again. I suggest you rely on your wolf side more. Mother Selene did give you a strong, loving, and beautiful wolf.

I smiled at the wolf one more time then released the time spell, and pulled my aura back.

Diamond are you still with me? Yes Opal, I am here. Good now let’s fix your hair and meet your new friend. I returned Diamond’s appearance to her previous out look.

Hatte’s (POV)

Oh my stars, I knew it I just knew it, I squealed out like a child with a birthday cake. I knew The Crown Prince Amadeo, was planning a surprise. I could not believe he just wanted everyone to stay on the palace because of his father The King’s paranoia.

Oh, Hi I am Hatte, you must be Diamond.

I reached out and hugged this giant in front of me, I think she is taller than Crown Prince Amadeo.

She shook herself out of whatever trance she was in and hugged me back and said, yes I am Diamond come in let’s talk.

I walked into the suite we shared. I dare say it seems even bigger than the Crown Prince’s residence at the palace.

I walked through our living area, to the bedrooms. I mean I know Diamond moved in yesterday, however since this is my surprise from the Crown Prince, I want to make sure she knows I am going to take the Master Suite.

I walked through our commercial sized kitchen with all new high end appliances, Italian marble countertops and island, he even put a butlers pantry in for me; oh maybe he is going to staff to take care of me. I walked back towards the area that teed off into separate directions. Diamond guided me towards the south, oh no if this is where she wants me to go, then I am headed north.

I immediately turned on my heel and walked right past her like I have seen the Princess do for years. I found the northern bedroom.

This must be the room he intended for her it was only large enough for a queen sized bed. I turned again and walked past her again to the southern bedroom. This is more to his standards, there was a king sized bed, built in bookshelves, already filled with books. I went to the closet to see it was filled with all of the latest in fashion and of course in my size. I opened the next door and it was a study or office, right like I will be here long enough to need a study. One month in one month our beasts will know each other and I will move back into the Palace where I belong.

The bathroom was similar to the ones at the Palace, large shower with double heads and a bench to “sit on” we all know what they do on those benches. I tub large enough for, both the Crown Prince and I to enjoy together. A double vanity and a towel warmer finish off this glorious bathroom.

I wonder who he sent to set this up for me? He had to send a guard or else that orphan would have taken advantage of my absence and taken all of the luxuries designed for me. I suddenly realized he even sound proofed the suite. Oh I cannot wait for him to visit so I can properly thank him.

I have grown up in the shadows watching his sisters, seduce their way through men. They turned eighteen yesterday as well but neither of them found their mates, I honestly don’t think they want to find mates. They both seem happy just toying with every male possible.

I know the Crown Prince’s pleasures as well, I have help my mother throughout the years, as she is his head housekeeper, it was assumed I would one day wait on him or his Queen.

Oh my hades, my mother will be so pleased in a month when I am able to mate and take the thrown.

I think I need to make sure this orphan remembers her place here. Diamond, I summoned her, do be a dear a draw me a bath it has been such a day already. I like fresh cucumber slices for my face and rose oils in the tub, no bubbles. Did you hear me?

She looked at me and said yes I heard you, why?

I snapped my head around and glared at her, then why are you still standing here?

She at least had the decency to excuse herself after that. I slipped on the silk robe on the door and sat at the vanity waiting for Diamond to return with my slices and oil. It seems to be taking forever, I yelled for her again, however this time she did not answer me. The soundproofing of course. I will have to train her to keep supplies in the bathroom closet, this is unacceptable. I padded my way through the suite towards the kitchen, huh. Diamond is nowhere to be found. Where did she go? Ugg.. I am so not going to tolerate this nonsense, just then I saw the note on the refrigerator.

“Nette,

There are cucumbers in the vegetable drawer. I do not believe we have any rose oils. Hopefully you brought them with you. Enjoy your bath. I have a full day of classes I won’t be back until late tonight. There are prepared meals in the freezer please help yourself, my aunts cooked way too many.

Have a restful day, maybe we can chat tomorrow on the lakeside, I hear a lot of the Rooks are going there for a meet and greet. I think it sounds fun.

See you then,

Diamond “

What? Who does this orphan think she is? Oh I’ll go to this meet and greet alright. I don’t think she understands her place, however she will tomorrow. I crumbled up her little note and tossed it into the bin. I went and got my bath, yes I am supposed to be in class as well, but why waste my time. I will not be here in a few weeks. I do not need a degree to please the Crown Prince, I have been studying him for as long as I can remember.
