Chapter 1
An Unexpected Visit
*2001*
The two 7 years old run to the courtyard in direction to the big garden. The laughs of the two young prince and princess fill the castle with laughter and joy, something that it isn't seen in a long time. The girl stops to look over to the sun on her skin, it is the first days of spring and the sky is finally clean, there is no more snow convening the green grass. They were enjoying the first day of sun after days of rain. They run into the grass that it's still wet making her dress and his trousers wet too but the young kids didn't care about it. They just wanted to run under the spring sun.
"I catch you." The younger boy puts his arms around the small girl.
"It is not fair, I was distracted." She says pouting.
"It was fair; I catch before you get the fountain."
"But I was looking at the sky." She says looking up and he does the same.
"Yes it is pretty." He says. "But I still won."
"No you didn't."
"Princess Rachel, Prince Blaine." A male voice calls us as he gets outside. "I am afraid it's time for lunch."
"Can't we stay a little longer Professor?" They ask to the 43-year-old man.
"No, I am afraid you cannot children. After lunch you can play outside princess but now you need to eat."
*Present*
I wake up with that memory and I ignore it going back to my morning routine. I get downstairs 45 minutes after I get up where Quinn already as breakfast ready. She moved in after Finn found out Beth was actually Noah's. Since then we formed a strange and unexpected friendship that started two days after she moved and we both weren't able to get our sleep and I started to tell her the story about Princess Grace, little does she knows it is actually my story. Since that day we connected and become close.
"Ready for last day?" I ask Quinn.
"So much. She is getting too heavy for me to spend a normal school day." I look at the very pregnant teenage girl, three more weeks and Beth is out. "Do you have plans for the summer?"
"Not really, just enjoy it I think."
Once we got to school Noah was already waiting and got Quinn's things from her arms and walk us to our classes. The day of course didn't pass without me being slushy and the dirty looks that Finn, my ex boyfriend, gave me and Quinn. The poor girl made a mistake, of the way she deal with it wasn't the best but she is paying of it already.
"Glee club." Quinn says with fake excitement and I nod as we walk to the choir room sitting in the front road as Noah sits behind us. The rest as it enters just beehives like idiots so I chose to ignore it. Just Kurt occasionally defends me.
"Ok guys. I just wanted to which you all a happy summer and enjoy your time."
"Of course I will. I guess you won't Quinn, you know being a mom and all." Santana starts teasing and I give Quinn a little smile as I see her sad face.
"Ok you are all dismissed." Mr. Shue says and everyone starts to leave as Noah takes us to my car.
"I see you girls at your house?"
"Yes, Dad and daddy are bringing Italian food." I tell him as we get into the car.
I walk into my house. My house. The two floors simple small town house with a nice garden on the back has been my house for the last years but no matter how much time passes; I will never belong in here. I will always miss my home. I enter the house to see my parents sitting on the living room talking to someone.
"Rachel you are back sooner." My day, Leroy says as they all get up and the other man turns to me and immediately run to him.
"Professor." I say hugging the man I haven't seen in years and it was like family to me.
"Princess. You grow so much." He says touching both sides of my face. He is now in this early 50 but he still look like the most cleaver man ever.
"What brings you here?" I ask nicely. "Is everything ok?" The concern now gets to me.
"You don't need to worry Princess, everything is how it should be, and that is why I am here. Sit with us."
We all sit and I start to be a little anxious not knowing the reason of me department and now not knowing why he was here. Not that I was sad because I did miss him, but it makes me a little nervous because I didn't expect him but he always told he would come back.
"I came here to tell you that it's time."
"It is time for what, Professor?" I ask him and he smiles at me and I open my month just as my eyes pop. "I'm coming back?"
"Yes, my princess you are coming back." I jump and hug him and I can feel some tears come to me.
"Thank you professor, thank you." I say and then I get back to reality. "Wait, are we all coming back?" I ask referring to the two men who were to me like parents since I never had one which makes me very sad.
"Yes princess, you are almost 16, it is time for you to return to Mystica."
"Wait but can I come back here?" I ask not waiting to leave completely the world that I am learning to love more each day the more. Not wanting to leave Quinn and Noah forever since they were starting to feel like family to me. Or even the glee club where I can dance and sing.
"Can I have some time alone with the princess?" He asks to the other 2 men in the room and both nod leaving the room. We sit again, this time I sit next to him and he looks at me seriously.
"I think it's time for you to know, why you left."
*2003*
"Why? Why do I need to leave?"
*2002*
"No please Professor I do not which this. I want to stay." I cry.
"I know but you need to princess."
"But why do I need to leave? I don't want to leave." I say crying.
"I know my princess but now you aren't a princess anymore you are a Queen by right, I am afraid that you are in danger. One day in the future you will understand."
"My mommy. I want my mommy to come with me." I say as Professor hugs me.
"I am afraid she can't come but you will be safe and you will see us."
"Will I return?" I ask him scared of his answer but really hoping that I would return.
"Of course you will princess one day you will return and become the Queen and you will reign."
*Present*
"You know about the Lamartine's."
"Yes, they were in command of the country and almost destroyed us." I say remembering one of the darkest moments in our history. "They want my throne and my power. Our power."
"When your father died, you didn't even have one year. We were keeping you in Mystica because it is your home and your mother led the country with her consulates help."
"Then they tried to kill her two years after and more than once." I say with sadness. I did not want my mother to be in danger. I know she isn't really a royal but she is my mom.
"Yes, you were the Queen for right but the rules say you have to wait for your 16th birthday for the coronation. When you were young that was to many plot against your throne and you had to leave for your own safety before you were killed."
"What about everyone else?"
"They are all safe don't need to worry, we didn't suffer any attack for now at least not ones in the villages or the capital." I know what it meat: the boards.
"But what if they do, we don't have an army powerful enough to fight Lamartine." I learn a lot, Leroy and Hiram teach me all I need to know about what the country was suffering.
"You do not need to worry about it. About your question, yes, you can come back but if everything goes well you will move to the Court in Gallica."
"Thank you so much professor." I say hugging him.
Later that night I told Quinn everything.
"You are telling me those stories you told me about are real? That you are the princess?"
"Yes it is what I am telling you."
"That is not possible Rachel."
"What about this?" I ask getting the mug with the milk in it. "Drink a bit." He looks at me but does it.
"It's cold." He says he gives me the mug back I close my eyes and after a couple of seconds I open then again.
"And now?" I ask offering the drink which she drinks.
"It's warm, how it's possible."
"I already told you." I say to her with a smile.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"I kind of already had told you but the truth is that I see you as I sister now and I am leaving but I promise to try to came back every time I can and I will take you, Beth and maybe even Noah to my country." I notice tears falling her eyes and I get scared. "Have I done something wrong?"
"No." She says cleaning her face. "It is just, you are truly an extraordinary person Rachel and you will be a great Queen besides you are also a sister to me.
It was midnight and I still couldn't sleep. I can't believe that I am returning home after all these years but there is something I haven't told Quinn that Professor told me.
"Why aren't they attacking?"
"There is a reason why you are going to Gallica. In order to make peace we need to show power, war power and since the news where out about your engagement they stoppe afraid of us fighting back."
"An engagement?" I asks shocked not really knowing what to think about it.
"Yes, you have been engaged to the future King of Gallica since you were eight."
So what do you think of the concept of the story, I know it is still fresh but I would like to know your opinion because it help me built the story. This will be based on Reign which I have been obsessed about but with some changes.
