Ilaria’s POV.
” Bang ”.
The sound of the door somewhere In the house slamming against the wall manages to jolt me out of the remnants of my sleep and my face fell flat into my breakfast. Trail mix of cheerios, fruit loops, milk and some few strawberry pieces here and there.
” What are you doing mum”. I call out to her from my place on the breakfast table.
” Where's dad?” I asked her.
” he's in the bathroom” I heard her say with a yawn from the sitting room.
” happy birthday Ilaria” mum said coming into the kitchen.
” happy birthday pumpkin,” dad said coming out of his room. He handed me a small box and went to seat down.
” mum, dad I said no presents” I said assessing the box.
” just open it” they said together. I opened it and saw a beautiful bracelet. It matches the pendant I've always worn since I was a baby. I can never seem to take it off.
” it's beautiful” I said and hugged them tightly.
” thank you”. I told them.
I left the house to meet my friend out the door. As soon as she saw me, she jumped on me wishing me happy birthday. We got into the car and drove off to school while singing. I will admit that I have a very good voice.
Harrison high is one of the prestigious schools of the united states with a total population of more than a thousand high school students. We entered through the gate and went to park the car. Groups and cliques we're loitering around their rides, chatting away noisy and happily enjoying the sun. They were all decked out in an expensive range of clothing compared to my skirt and top.
The bell rang and we went to class. The class was boring as usual. Most of the class was sleeping throughout the whole lesson. During lunch, I met up with my friend and we entered the cafeteria. We got our food and sat down. As Bella was about to say something, the bad boy of the school came towards us .
” I heard it's your birthday today,” he said while smirking.
” um... Yeah,” I said nervously.
He dragged me towards the middle of the cafeteria. Everybody stopped what they were doing and started looking at us.
” fire away boys,” he said looking at his friends.
Before I knew it people started throwing food at me. After they stopped I found myself getting angry. Everybody looked at me in awe.
” your eyes and hair,” Bella said.
I took my stuff and ran home. I saw my parents sitting on a chair in the living room. I told my parents what happened at school. My hair turned to gold. My hair wasn't just a golden blonde colour, it was literally the colour of gold. My grey eyes we're kind of gold and blue mixed together.
” mum what is happening to me,” I asked her
” Nothing about you is human,” mum said
” you are a siren Ilaria. A royal siren. The heir to the throne.” dad said.
” Someone kidn*pped you and gave you to us. We did not see the person's face. We are taking you to the Academy for supernaturals so you can learn more about your powers and take your place as the heir to the throne. Your necklace has the pictures of your real parents and siblings. We are sorry, please forgive us.” mum said.
” it's alright, I forgive you guys because you took care of me since I was a baby.” I said and hugged them.
” When are we leaving?” I asked them.
” Tomorrow, so pack all that you need,” they said to me.
I went up to my room, took my bath and went to bed.
