- Princess Skyler or Eraklyon & Sparks -
The sun had just made its way through the early morning clouds and the people of Eraklyon were only just getting up ready to start their day. Within the castle, servants were hurrying all over the long, elegant corridors to get their chores done. However the only room that seemed to be quiet was Skyler's room as she was still sleeping – Well until her alarm went off!
Skyler POV
RING, RING, RING, RING, RING
That's all I could hear, can't it understand that I was peacefully sleeping and I didn't need to be so rudely interrupted! Well that's a great start to my day.
It was time to stop the racket as I'm pretty sure no one else in the palace wants to hear my alarm. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the clock – It was 10 o'clock which meant I was half an hour late for breakfast so Mum and Dad are still waiting downstairs for me.
I quickly jolted up from the warm, crisp sheets of my bed and searched the floor for my pink, fluffy slippers. Once I had them on I needed to find my dressing gown which normally is behind my walk- in wardrobe door but it had gone missing (Just my luck). My stomach started rumbling very loudly and I knew I couldn't keep my parents waiting so I wrapped a blanket around me. As I reached my hand out to turn the crystal doorknob the door unexpectedly opened which knocked me back.
"Oh my goodness, Princess Skyler, I am so sorry!" The maid exclaimed as she helped me up.
"It's ok it just gave me a bit of a fright," I giggled
"I came in to tell you that The King and Queen are waiting for you in the dining room and I found your dressing gown." She said as she handed me the dressing gown. I started to put it on as I ran down the corridor.
"That's great Thank you!" I replied whilst running down the corridors in my pink fluffy slippers.
When I finally arrived at the doors to the dining room, my cheeks were bright red and I was out of breath; I could barely lift up my hand to open the door. Luckily one of the guards saw me struggling and politely opened the door for me.
"Thank you," I wheezed
As I walked in I could feel a cool breeze circulating the room bringing up the delicious smells of warm bread, and pancakes to my nose. I inhaled through my nose allowing myself to smell it another time and it just kept getting better as I could feel my mouth drooling then my stomach let out a loud gurgle which echoed through the dining room.
"Stop loitering round the door, sit down and have some breakfast!" My mother called out.
I slowly walked away from the entrance and saw both my parents and my older brother, George sat at the rectangular mahogany table looking quite hungry.
"Why are you wearing your dressing gown? It's August!" My Father asked looking at me in disbelief.
"Haha, you look like that cat who looks like Yoda!"
"Good morning to you too," I smirked as I grabbed a bread roll, well I had to say it no-one else was going to.
I started to bite into my indulging and soft bread roll - surprisingly it was still warm I was not expecting that!
"So did you sleep well?" Mum asked
"Yeah kind of, until my alarm went off then I didn't sleep well." They both chuckled
"Well, your hair says otherwise." George informs me
I was a bit confused at that comment but I gave him one of my evil stares then I got out of my seat and walked up to the antique mirror which was in one of the corners of the room.
As I came closer I saw an ever haunting image of myself. Horrified I quickly turned away but then I had to keep looking. My hair is a strawberry Blonde colour anyway but where I had washed it the night before and hadn't brushed it my hair literally looked like a bird's nest!
I screamed as I ran away from that evil mirror. My plan was to get into the shower immediately but my parents said they had some news for me…
They sat me back down at the dining table and passed me an envelope.
"Open it!" Dad told me
I ripped the top of the envelope and out slipped a pale pink sheet of paper. It said that I had been accepted into Alphea the school for fairies!
"You signed me up!" I yelled excitedly
"Well, I thought it was only right." My mother replied
"And don't worry George, we got you into Red Fountain," My Dad told him
"Sweet!" He yelled as he threw his fist in the air
"You do not know how long and how hard I have been begging for this!"
"Trust me, we do!" My dad said as we all laughed.
I can't believe it, I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO ALPHEA!
