(Six days since last chapter.)
Guess how many days there are until the Gala? TWO! We've got a plan that needs to be finished! We're not even close to finished. Also I've had more of those dreams. One was that Kayla (even though I just meet her) told me I should back out, the other was Variel in a foster home, and the last one was future me saying that I should leave. Weird right?
Anyway... let's continue with the story.
(Variel's POV.)
"Why?" Kayla stared down upon my notebook.
"Because, we are the heroes. We save people." I explained my story.
"I didn't grow up on books. I was taught by some servants on Lady Rose's mansion. They didn't know much but still managed to teach me. How about you? I opened up and I guess it's your turn." She closed the notebook.
"Parents were killed and I was sent to an orphanage. Ran away and began thieving. Then I meet Lightning and Araceli." Kayla nodded a little. "I think of them as my parents."
"I also did steal some of Lady Rose's jewelry. For money. I spent it all on food okay. She rarely feed us. Longest time I had to wait was... Five or six days at the most. I also did buy clothing for me and the other servants, and baby supplies for a mare who was expecting. Lady Rose found all the money and took it away and sent me here. I should be happy I didn't get a brand Mark." She reached up to touch her cheek.
"What happened to your parents? You don't have to answ..." I was interrupted.
"Turned to stone like discord. Man, it feels good opening up. I've never really talked about this. Since no one ask." She pushed back a thing of black hair. "May i keep reading your story?"
I nodded and handed her the notebook.
(Lightning's POV)
"We never even had the chance!" Araceli yelled.
"We did and now we do have the chance again! Don't stress out. We aren't going to get caught." I lowered my voice.
"Yeah, my brother tried to steal a golden pocket watch and was killed. Before I meet you." Tears threatened to spill out of her round eyes.
"You never told me of a brother." I whispered.
"Two weeks before I meet you. It was to much to tell a stranger." She tried her best to blink the tears away, but failed to do so, and she let them slip down her face. "His name was Xander. We didn't look like brother and sister more like best friends. That's what everypony said."
"What's done is done. There's no way to change what happened." I shook my head a little.
"We aren't prepared, and expect to meet my brother in two days at the most." With that said she sped out of the room.
(Araceli's POV-few hours before the gala)
"Kayla, could you help me tie this up?" I struggled to lace up the dress.
"Sure." She grabbed the laces from my hoofs. "Are you ready?"
"No, but along the way I'll build up confidence." I smiled at my reflection. "Hopefully Rose gets found out for what she's paying us for."
"Back when I was hers I found tons of royal looking things. I guess to complete her collection she wants a crown. Done." She backed away from me.
"Would you please help Variel. She needs all the help she can get." I asked.
Sorry once again long update and to me short chapter.
