~15 Years Later~
Emma's POV
Swing the sword I had back and forth, I charge at my daughter, who dodges the oncoming attack, countering it while sending me to the ground. Charging at his younger sister, Henry ends up on the ground as well as she looks down at us.
"Great job Echo. You'll make an exceptional queen someday?" Henry says to her and she smiles holding out her hand for him.
"Thank you Henry! I've tried my best with everything you two have taught me over the years. Speaking of over the years will one of you tell me what all this training is for?" She asked and Henry and I look at each other.
"Well would you look at the time...you need to get ready for school in you go." I say taking the sword from her and she groans.
"Why will you not speak of the forbidden?" She asks and I just sheath the sword and start to walk away.
"Mom will you not answer the question that I have asked." She says and I shake my he while walking away. Turning on my feet I see her turn toward her brother.
"Henry you will not speak of the forbidden!" I said and he quickly scurries away from his pouting sister.
"I promise on your fifteenth birthday, in three days, you will know all otherwise stop asking questions on what everything is for." I tell her and she beams at this before running up to me.
"Thank you mom I love you and I will now go get ready for school. I have to meet up with Aerabella and Sage anyway." She tells me and I nod.
"Oh when you do see them tell them that I would like to have word with the mothers." I say and she nods before excusing herself. Walking down the corridors, I come to the one room I want to be in; mine. Opening the door, I look in to see Regina starring in the mirror at her body with her shirt completely off her body.
"Hmm...your body never quits to amaze me." I whisper as I walk up behind her wrapping my arms around her waist. Hearing the soft chuckle of hers, I let my hands roam over the soft, yet firm, skin of my wife's.
"Oh really now!" She says and I nod spinning her around then pinning her against the mirror that had been hung against the wall.
"Oh Emma!" She sighs as we share a passionate kiss for what seem like forever. Her soft moans egging me on to spread her legs with my knee.
"Gross!" We hear a very familiar voice say and we break apart from the heated session. Turning to our youngest child, we smile and look, or try to look, decent.
"I am on my way out to "princess" school." She says with fake enthusiasm and we nod.
"You know you don't have to be so sarcastic about being in school. They only want to teach you how to do good in the future. It teaches you how to be a god wife to whoever you are to marry when you get older." Regina says and she all but rolls her eyes at the statement.
"What if I don't want to get marry." She says and Regina and I both smile at that, but in the back of our minds we knew the prophecy would come true in three days.
"That's fine with us, but thats not how fate and life works." I say and with that I send her off.
"You will be late and we do not want word from your teachers again. Be off now." I say and when she turns the corner of the corridor I turn back to my wife, who is now standing in front of me.
"Where were we?" She asked and I smirk kissing her hard and she takes the time to bake me up against the door of our bedroom.
Echo's POV
Why do parents have to be so ugh! Ever since I could think for myself I have been taught a certain way of doing things and yes I understand it's what a princess is suppose to do things and what not, but damn my life is so overbearing as it is and with this huge secret, no one cares to tell me about until I actually turn fifteen, I don't know what to do until I figure it out. Walking toward the carriage that would be taking me to what I like to call "princess" school, I thought about my two other best friends Aerabella and Sage. I begin to think about their relationship with each other and how I knew and everyone else that it was more than friendly. Then it made me think about my brother and his non existence of a girlfriend. I don't know why I was think about relationships because I had no desire to be in one or at least I thought so. Arriving at the castle-like school, I wait for my driver to open the door so that I could step out of the carriage to greet my ready awaiting friends. As soon as the door is open I am practically pulled out of the carriage by Sage, who smiles happily at me. Confused, I give her a look and she doesn't say a thing only nodding toward, an oblivious, Aerabella. I look at the smile on Aerabella's face and the smirk on Sage's face and something finally clicks.
"Bella my mom wants to speak with your mom could you go tell her?" I asked and she nods as she leaves us and heads for the schools library.
"What's up with you two are you like together or something?" I ask and she nods. Looking around the hall she waits for the other students to clear out before she begins to whisper.
"I asked her out on what the other world would call a "date". I know because she told me she asked her mother Ruby, who told her." She tells me and we squeal together before collecting ourselves.
"I'm so happy for you two I hope you nothing but happiness on your date thing!" I say excitedly and I hug her before we break away after hearing a voice.
"You told her without me?" Aerabella says sadly and we look at her together guilty not really being able to lie to her.
"Bella I'm sorry I was just so excited you said yes to me because for so long these feelings I have had for you were eating me inside and when you side yes my heart swelled with happiness I just had to tell someone. I'm sorry I didn't wait for you so we could tell Echo together next time we can tell the whole kingdom together if you want." Sage says and I mentally give her praise for her play with words something she had inherited from her mother Mulan along with her warrior heart and fighting style. I would know she beat me many times in fights when we were in training class.
"It's okay I understand your happiness I can't stop thinking about it either." She says and all is good between the two. Feeling eyes on me, I turn to find two sets of eyes on me. One pair from a boy and the pair from a girl, who looked like they could be twins. I have never seen them here before maybe they are new. Well duh of course they are new! My brain says as all three of us have a weird staring contest. I don't know what it was, but I felt so drawn to the both of them like we had this weird connection somehow. I could see the lust-filled gaze the boy had for me and the girl emotions were, well unreadable.
"Are you coming Echo? If not we will be late for our lessons again." Sage says and I nod as we walk away, but not before looking back at the two new kids, who watched me walk away before they begin to talk to each other angrily.
~Training Room~
Walking into the training room with Sage at my side, Aerabella was not in this class with us, I immediately go change into something more fitting for fighting. Wyatt, Bella's younger brother, runs over to me with the cutest smile.
"What can I do for you Wyatt?" I ask and he smiles shyly before grabbing my hand and kissing it.
"You can become my wife." He says slyly and I almost choke on the air that I was breathing in. Holding my chest, I look toward Sage, who is laugh at the not so funny joke, and clear my throat.
"Look Wyatt even if you were taller and three years older we still couldn't be together." I say and his face falls.
"Why not?" He asked and I try desperately to think of an idea until one comes to my head.
"Because I'm in an arranged marriage and when I turn 15, in just three days, I will be married to someone you don't know." I lie and he pouts even more.
"Okay." He says sadly and walks back over toward Payton, Sage's younger sister, who cheers him up.
"Damn Echo you crushed the boy whole heart...how will he ever recover." Sage says and I roll my eyes at her, something I learned from my mother. As I finish changing I notice the brown eyes from earlier walk into the room and over to the teacher.
"Everyone we have two new students from The Kingdom of Blackrose, Prince Kieran and his twin sister Princess Fallon." Our teacher says and I can finally put names to faces.
"Sage and Echo can you two work with these two on what we learned last week." The teacher asked and I nod for the both of us. Turning toward Sage, I whisper for her to take Kieran while I took his sister. Nodding, she walks over to the sword station and grabs four practice swords throwing two to them while handing me mine.
"Thank you." I say with a fake bow and she jokingly pushes me away and toward Fallon. Speaking of Fallon, who so happen to be stretching right in front of me and must I say this girl had muscles for lifetimes. Her chocolate brown skin contrasted perfectly with the lighting in this classroom and her eyes were a very beautiful shade of brown.
"If you are done staring at me Princess Echo can we began our training session." She says and it's hard not to miss the venom in her voice when she says my title. I give her this look and she stares back at me with this unreadable expression. Damn her walls are too good.
"Look Fallon you don't have to be rude alright you new here and it wouldn't kill you to make a friend or two." I say swinging the sword at her and she dodges it like an expert. Swinging it, she tries to hit me with the practice sword, but I dodge it before she does and I round house kick her to the ground.
"What's your problem?" I asked, but instead of answering she swipes my foot sending me to the ground. Thud! Hitting the ground, I hold my ankle close to my body as I clutch it tightly. I try not to cry from the immense pain I was feeling, but it begin to become unbearable.
"Echo are you okay?" I hear Sage yell as she races toward my side. I could see the anger in her eyes and I look toward the other princess. She stares at my wounded ankle worriedly and I glad I can finally see some type of emotion.
"I'm sorry Echo I did not mean to take my anger out on you." She says to me as she holds her hand out and I instantly take it. Pulling me up, she stares into my eyes and I swear I could get lost into her's forever.
"I'm fine just help me toward the fairies so one can heal it up quickly." I say and she nods.
"Can you help me too Kieran?" I ask and he nods taking my other arm placing it on his shoulder as the three of us walk out the class room and head toward the fairies room. Getting strange stares for like a minute, we finally made it and they helped me into the room.
"Blue Fairy can you heal my ankle please I do not want to go home to my mothers like this." I asked and she nods while sitting me down and waving her hand over my ankle.
"There you go sweetie and tell you mothers we will be happy to help out at your ball." She says and I nod.
"Thank you my mother would have flipped out." I say and she nods then we both laugh forgetting the other two people in the room for a minute. Fallon's clears her throat and I come back to earth as I realize that I had to go.
"Right would you two like to come to 15 birthday ball?" I asked and they seem to think this into consideration.
"We would love to come to your ball." They both say simultaneously and I nod.
"Great I'll have your names added to my guest list its black and watch formal." I state as I stand and walk toward the door.
"Until then fair princess." Kieran says and I could tell something was off about him but couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"Farewell Echo!" Fallon says with a smile that could make you melt at first sight.
"Farewell Kieran and Fallon." I say as I walk out the door and continue back to my friends.
