CHAPTER ONE
"Veronica!" A magenta haired girl chided as her blue-violet eyes rested on the almost uncovered thighs of her sister. "You can't go to Red Fountain wearing these thongs." She announced, chiding her twin with the erection of her pointer finger and shaking of head. Her eyes glared just like her mother's. She took her waist-length long hair in her hands and turned around to tie them up in a loose bun, thinking that her sister would listen to her but she was in some other mood.
Veronica threw her hands up in the air and transformed her eyes into narrow slits, so that her blue-violet orbs almost disappeared behind her eye lids."Don't try to become my mom, Allison." She told her in a vivid tone and averted her attention away from her to tie her long raven hair in the same manner as Allison had done a few seconds ago.
They both were wearing similar styled tank tops but in different colors. One had matched them with jean shorts that merely covered her thighs and other matched with faded skinny jeans. They were identical twins but had different hair color along with completely contrasting personalities. Allison a mild feminist and Veronica had a mixture of stubborn and sweet nature.
"Asher will kill you." Allison warned her in a dangerous tone and tried to remind her of the drama that had occurred last time when she had worn such shorts. Veronica rolled her colored eyes and plopped down on her bed to put on shoes. "And he need to stop acting like my father. I've to alive parents who won't even give a shit about what I wear."
Allison opened her mouth to retort but Veronica raised her hand to shut her up. She had a severe disliking for tussles. Allison complied by closing her mouth. She collected her phone from the bed and darted outside. Veronica was no doubt a stubborn soul but she didn't like to speak much and arguing was just very much against her nature. She wasn't the exact replica of her father but took many traits from him. She was confident in everything she did but wasn't a show off.
Allison was bold and confident as well but kept no control over her tongue. She talked until ears hurt. She had much affinity for the fact that a woman should have the strength and courage to carry out her tasks herself. She had an approachable persona. She inherited a blend of traits from her parents but the talkative nature was always an answered question. Her parents always said that it was a dark mystery.
"Ver, hurry up or else we won't be able to meet Asher." Allison hollered, as her sister walked out of their room. "It's been months since we last met him and I miss him a lot."
Veronica nodded. "Me too. He rare-...Hey! What was that?" Veronica was in the middle of her sentence when severe shouting from outside hit her super sensitive ears.
"High school drama on the first day on the very first day. Amazing." Allison clapped her hands with fake enthusiasm and swiftly walked along her sister outside their dorm to see what was going on.
The sound was coming from a very long distance from their dorms, probably from outside the gates of Alfea as the sisters had estimated. So, they sped up to see who it was and whether they needed to stop the drama or leave it on its own.
"Shut up, Glitters." A tan skinned girl snarled as she got in the face of tall guy whose skin tone was somewhat lighter than the girl. Her large emerald orbs manifested the fire in her soul and her body was bent in such a manner like she was about to launch herself at him. She was shorter than him but her fierceness was quite large to scare the living day lights out of someone but the guy seemed unfazed by the ferocious girl that was standing in front of him.
He blinked his hazel orbs multiple times at her and then a lopsided grin graced his face. "Oh, Struck a nerve?"
The green eyed fairy narrowed her eyes but then something came up to her gradually dimming mind and a laugh burst out of her slender body frame. She tiptoed, throwing her brown waterfall behind her and inched closer to his face, moving right past his cheek and halted her lips just next to his ear. Then in a light whisper she conveyed her message to him. "Do I need to remind you of the response that I gave you last time for this question."
As she started withdrawing her body away from his, the smile grew wider on her face and at the same time smirk of the blonde haired guy dropped and anger flared up his eyes. She had got under his skin quite smoothly and now she was waiting for him to burst. The response came as fast as the blink of an eye and now he was grasping her left upper arm in his hand and held her very closely to himself. The grip was not quite tight but his tone and it was enough to forewarn her that she was crossing the limit. He thought that he had scared her because he felt her body losing rigidness under his touch, but he was wrong. Because after not more than a second history had repeated itself for them and she had slapped him square on the same spot where she slapped last time.
"Touch me one more time like that and you won't have arms in your framework." She said in a low voice and at the same time the twin girls approached them gaping.
The blonde haired guy growled and almost lunged at her but somehow refrained himself from doing so and after giving a brief glance to hastily running girls in their direction, spun on his heels and charged away from the spot. He muttered colorful words under his breath all the way until he was out of the grounds of Alfea. The green eyed girl stood watching at his back as her hands kept folded under her chest and her eyes moved away from him his back when the twins had reached to her. She was a bit in daze as she had not expected him to move away without giving any reaction.
"Why didn't he slap you back, Lea?"As soon as Allison approached her, she took her by her arm and gave her a jerk so that she could see her face and manifest the disapproval in her eyes. "You can't hit someone like that."
Lea, the feisty young girl, focused her attention on Allison and smiled at her. It unnerved Allison. "He deserved the slap, Allison. I'm not a fool to slap any random person I see on my way. Do I look like a stray dog to you?"
Veronica pondered as Allison and Lea argued over the scene. She had seen the guy somewhere and she geared her mind to remember where had she met him. In a matter of few seconds, her mind had lit up and she spoke up. "As much as I hate to admit it, but Lea is right. He deserved the slap."
Allison and Lea fell quiet and tilted their heads in their direction. Veronica was raising her hand and comprehending her meaning, Lea raised her hand and high-fived her. "Theodore." Lea laughed.
"The prince of Solaria." Veronica mirrored her laugh.
Allison threw her hands up in the air. "Did you just slap the prince of Solaria?" Allison couldn't believe their words. She was bewildered, utterly confused as well. "Why would you hit a crowned prince of such a known realm as Solaria?"
Lea arched a brow at her. "Prince or not a guy should know how to respect a girl."
Allison shook her head. She was still not ready to accept that he deserved her slap. "Still the slap was unnecessary."
That unnerved Lea. "Because he's a prince?"
Allison shook her head. Veronica broke into their conversation to shut cease their argument. "Allison, Lea and I will explain to you the whole situation and then you can judge with all your heart. Okay?"
Allison nodded as Lea noticed them being ready to go to somewhere. "You guys going somewhere?"
She was now rolling her own hair in a rough bun and some of the loose strands came out to fell about her face. She was wearing an off the shoulder top and shorts that covered more skin than Veronica's. Lea was the exact opposite of her parents. She was loud, talkative and bold. Her personality resembled much with Veronica's, but the talkative nature was the only contrast in them. She was as much confident in her skin as was Veronica. Although, they were much like each other, Lea was much closer friend of Allison.
Allison, Lea and Veronica became friends when their mothers accidentally met each other a few months back. Lea's mother invited their mother to her realm and they told the young girls about their friendship when they were in Alfea. Lea was ready to take admission in Linphea college for fairies but Veronica and Allison's mother convinced her to join Alfea so she could experience what her mother had experienced. Lea was easily convinced and then the girls met on several occasion. Allison and Lea became close in just a few months but Veronica and she couldn't become much close due to Lea's talkative and Veronica's silent nature, still they were good friends.
"Red Fountain." Allison replied, ushering her to join them as she started walking.
Lea face- palmed. "Before getting into this tussle I was going to meet my brother. He would be so mad now."
Veronica and Allison were surprised. "You have a brother?" Allison voiced their surprise. In such a long period of months, they had never heard or even seen her brother while Lea had met Asher had multiple times. Asher even admired her and considered her his third sister.
Lea laughed. "Yes. He's never at home that's why you didn't know about him."
Allison erected her hands in the air. "Okay, so now let's focus on what happened earlier."
So, as they trod toward the specialists school for males, Lea explained the whole thing to her and Veronica verified her words.
"Oh God! I'm on my way to Alfea." A blonde haired girl shrieked as she heard the words that the person on the line had uttered. Disconnecting the call, she rubbed a hand over her tired eyes and straightened up. She had to get ready to reach Magix.
She closed the lids on her dark brown orbs and took in a deep breath before standing up and calling out for her maid. A middle aged woman entered the room, gathering her hands in front of her. "Princess Kaya."
At any other time Princess Kaya would've lectured her for calling her princess but now was not any regular time and she had to everything fast. "Paige, is Rhea home?"
Rhea was the elder sister of Princess Kaya, the crowned Princess of Solaria and first in line to the throne. Rhea was a sophomore in Alfea while Kaya had just started as Freshmen in Solarian Princess school. Unlike her sister, she barely went out of the grounds of her realm and mostly tried to stayed indoors. She had a calm and shy persona; the holder of very soft heart and kind nature.
"Princess Rhea left for Alfea in the morning." Paige answered, rather intrigued. Paige had been with Kaya since her childhood and knew almost everything about her. So looking at her now, she could clearly see the signs of worry on her face. "Is something wrong, Princess?" Paige questioned as she walked behind her and tied the strands on the sides of her hair into twists, letting the rest of her hair to fall down in loose curls and conceal her hips.
"No." Kaya shook her head and offered her a small smile. Paige persisted. She knew something was off. Kaya stood up from in front of the mirror and walked to her bed to pick up her phone. "I'm going to Alfea, Paige. Rhea need to give a very long explanation."
Paige nodded and watched as Kaya threw her ring of solaria in the air and as soon as the scepter appeared, she opened a portal to Alfea and was soon vanished behind it. Paige shrugged her shoulders. It wasn't her habit to put her nose into every matter.
As soon as the princess of Solaria landed in Alfea, she dashed to find her sister. She was aware of the dorm of her sister and made a quick way to it. The matter at her hands was serious and it needed to be solved hastily. The dorm came in her sight and soon she was knocking on the door. Fortunately, the door was opened by Rhea herself.
Rhea had blonde hair as well but light green eyes unlike her other siblings. She inherited them from their grand-mother but in most part of her attitude and nature she was just like the Queen of Solaria, her mother. The love for shopping was rather more heightened in her but usually she kept herself away from the limelight , using that charm only occasionally. The sisters had same loose curls in their hair but Rhea mostly kept them till her shoulders. The other similarity in the sisters and dissimilarity with their mother was the soft voices of them. No matter how loud they talked it always came out soft.
"Kaya?" Rhea questioned, her voice laced with both astonishment and concern.
Kaya was about to answer her unasked questions but an old aged woman sprinted toward them and signaled for them to follow her as entered the dorm of Rhea.
Rhea edged near to the old woman and looked at her questioningly. "Mrs. Griselda, is something wrong." She was now heavily concerned because Kaya was about to burst into tears now and Mrs. Griselda carried crease lines on her forehead.
Mrs. Griselda gave her head a single nod. "The King and Queen of Solaria have been kidnapped."
Rhea who was already clutching on her left arm were tightly, yelped and covered her mouth with both of her hands. "What? Why?...How?" She was trembling with fear now and her face had gone pale like she was sickk. Kaya reached for her sister and engulfed her in a strong hug. She soothed her sister by rubbing her palm on her back and used her magic to calm down her nerves. In a matter of seconds, Rhea had calmed down to a sane level and now she was sitting on the edge of the common room couch.
Mrs. Griselda, who was impressed by the scene occurred in front of her, came out of her daze when Rhea and Kaya started asking questions about the current situation. "Everything will be explained. Come to Mrs. Faragonda's office with me."
The sisters followed Mrs. Griselda to her office and were soon shocked by the scene unfolded in front of them. The room was filled with many other teenager specialists and fairies because all of their parents had been kidnapped as well.
"Umm, what the hell is going on?" Rhea whispered to her sister as they became the center of attention. She thought it would be kept confidential that the King and Queen of Solaria had been kidnapped.
While Kaya could only find one familiar face in this crowd of teenagers, Rhea could find many. Grace, the Princess of Andros and her new roommate was among them. They haven't been officially introduced and knew each other only by face. Then she saw the three freshmen dorm mates. Two of them were sisters from Melody while the third one was a fairy from Linphea. Grace was a sophomore just like her but they had different dorms.
This year very strange thing happened with the Alfean fairies. First, never in the history of Alfea had a freshmen fairy shared a room with a sophomore or junior and never in history a sophomore shared room with a Junior. Second, the room assigned to a fairy was for whole three years but this year rooms were shuffled and all the fairies of Alfea were very displeased. They even protested, but a single stern look from Mrs. Griselda hushed them down.
Lastly, Rhea's eyes rested on the juniors from Red Fountain. She immediately lowered her eyes because among them was her ex-boyfriend. She suddenly felt queasy standing there. Kaya brought her to reality by tugging at her hand and leading her to the place where a certain specialist was standing in isolation, away from the rest of crowd. The guy trained his attention on them when he felt that someone was coming his way. He looked at them and became more confused. Now the seriousness of the situation sunk in and he became aware of his surroundings more. Actually, he was still astound and hadn't overcome the shock yet.
"What's going on?" The blonde guy questioned his sisters. The specialists had been called in utter emergency to Alfea. Initially, they carried the idea in their minds that it was a mission to make the introduction of Red Fountain missions to newbies by sending them along the sophomores and juniors, but as soon as they came here, they realized something big was up. Headmistress Faragonda had made them wait and had sent out Mrs. Griselda to call for some fairies from their dorms or wherever they were. Surprisingly, most of the specialists knew those fairies. But, what surprised him the most was that a certain fairy was very friendly with one of the junior specialists. The one who seemed to stay away from people.
Faragonda entered the room with a reddish-orange haired girl in tow. Her hair were bouncing behind her in a high and medium sized ponytail while tears constantly concealed her cyan eyes and leaked out through the barrier of her eyes. She had normal height just like the rest of the girls and almost as slender as them. However, she was the only girl in the room who wore glasses, besides the two old women. Large and round. They made her appear very attractive not nerdy as most people look when they wear glasses. The girl rushed toward two specialists from Red Fountain and started crying hysterically. This surprised everyone in the room and they were now more confused than ever.
The older of the two boys who had deep sky blue eyes and reddish-orange hair growled in exasperation. "Mrs. Faragonda, with all due respect, can you please tell me why my sister is crying so hysterically and why all of us have been called to your office?"
He was answered by a girl who had just entered the room. Her pink hair reached her shoulders in a neat straight manner and she had tucked on side of her locks behind her ear. Her hazel eyes were heavy with worry and tiredness but the composure of her body told her condition otherwise. She rubbed a hand over her pale head and sighed. "With all due respect, Prince Alexander of Eraklyon,"She addressed him and continued to answer. "all of our parents have been kidnapped."
