Just letting you all know that some of the characters from the show may be acting a bit differently then what they should, but they are going to be like this for the story, so please just go along with the idea. They may go back to normal in a few chapters later.

Chapter 7- Evelyn's Powers
" My dear, Clara…" the woman said calmly looking at the young girl with long auburn red. Clara had smiled kindly at the woman, as she finished brewing the potion for the woman. "I know that you have that ability to see the future, but how is that going to help you? That man will not wait for you…"
" Mama… you don't need to worry about me. I know what I need to do," Clara told her mother, as the blonde woman just patted her arm. Clara had been the one to be distracted and clumsy, but worked hard to keep up with her magical family, the only thing that she held that was magical was a black crystal that hung around her neck and fact that she was born with the ability to see the future; however, the future was not certain to her, nor was when the visions would take place. That was why she wore the sunset red color dress, because she knew that she eventually she'll meet the man that she knew she had fallen in love with.
" Clara… my Cla'mra…" a voice came from behind the potion mistress. She jumped as she nearly knocked over the cauldron that held the potion that she was currently working on. The male's voice then laughed at her. She glared at the man who was dressed as though he was going to a funeral, but that was what he normally wore. She smiled at him eventually, and then sighed at the dark-dressed man.
The man helped her with finishing the potion. "How are you, Darragon?" Clara asked the man. The man looked tired then normal, but had no problem being cheerful with the young woman.
" It has been hard, Clara. My uncle had been found dead… In the location that you said to look near, they are thinking that you were the murdered him, but I know you, and my family do to, they have been fighting to protect you, but you might be held on trial…" He said, his eyes looking down at the ground. Clara placed a hand on his shoulder and nodded at the man.
" I have no fear, I know that when they see me or know me like your family does, they will understand more about my abilities," Clara said as she looked back at potion being brewed…
I woke up with a startle. I opened the window and kept hearing the birds chirping. I got changed into a sunset red dress and headed towards the dining room. I walked past Baileywick, who was surprised to see me. "Good Morning, Princess Evelyn," Baileywick said looking at me. I turn to face him and nodded my head.
"Morning, but I am afraid that today nor this morning will be good," I said. "You may want to check on Amber and James… They will need a bit more help right now." I said not realizing that my power of seeing the future. He seemed a surprised, but then nodded. Then we heard Amber screaming, Baileywick ran towards Amber's room, I walk towards Amber's room.
"James! What are you doing here?" Amber shouted at James, her brother and Clio where in the middle of her room. The room was white with gold trimmings. She was vivid with James, but her demeanor spoke that he was calm, that would scare anyone, but not James.
"Princess Amber, what seems to be the problem?" Baileywick spoke without missing a beat. "Prince James?"
"I was just talking to Clio, when James waltzes into my room… Look I know that James is dating Clio, but there is a fine line…"
"I didn't just waltz into your room Amber, your door was open, and I did knock… I am not a caveman…" James rebuttable, I sighed and hit my head against the wall.
"Two things: Never enter a room, even if the door is open, if it belongs to a woman, unless they say that you can enter. And really? Why are you so hyper this morning? Not even Sofia is like this… I mean, she is when she gets happy, but you are way to chipper… Are you drinking coffee or something?" I asked, my head was hurting and that wasn't from me hitting my head against the wall, it was his happy-go-lucky attitude. I mean it was a few days ago that he nearly died, and he's acting like nothing happened. I walked away waving my hand to know that I was going to see them later, but I am hoping that James had calmed down when he comes to visits the dining hall with Clio and Amber.
I walked around the corner and walked into Cedric. I nearly was knocked over; until Cedric had wrapped his arms around me to that I would not topple over. He had smelt like leather and books and burnt… lilac or was that an orchid… it was a floral scent. I had opened my eyes and widen them in fear. What the hell did I just…I backed away and pushed Cedric away from me. I had darted away from him and I didn't have the chance to see what his expression was, but I knew that he was concern, and had felt rejected… I didn't know what to do. I never really had someone care for me since I was a child, but I couldn't even think. I couldn't even breathe. My heart was hurting, and I couldn't even think of what just happened. Why? Why did I do that? Why did I push him away? Why did he smell like my favorite plants? Why I am freaking out over this? My emotions were taken away from me… I must fight in an impending war in Magicia! I must help those who are against my Grandmother and Aunt Neviah. They'll destroy Magicia and everything that I don't want to happen.
My thoughts echoed in my head. I shook my head and they trailed back to Cedric's arms, how they were strong, but not too muscular… I slapped my face and I realized that James and Sofia where still coming off the small amount of alcohol and they were still lusting of their dates.
"Is everything alright?" a voice called to someone; I didn't know who until they touched my shoulder. I jumped and I spun so fast that I pushed someone way with the wind. I realized that it was King Roland and mom. My eyes widen in fear.
"I am so sorry; I didn't mean to do that… Everyone emotions are still so high that I didn't know what was going on and the next thing I knew…" My eyes started to brim with tears. I really hope that they were alright, but I didn't want to hurt them again if I go over there to help them up.
"Evelyn it is alright…" mom said as she tried to shush my fears, she walked a bit closer to me. I backed away.
"I didn't think touching me or being near me is the best option right now," I said I placed my hand over my mouth. I didn't want to be punished for not being good. I backed away from them until I knocked into the door that lead to the dining hall. Hugo, Sofia, Amber, Clio and James all walked around the corner and saw that I was frightful about something, but they didn't know, I took a deep breath and bolted through the doorway and head towards the other opening and walked towards the spiral staircase.
Maybe the curse broke. Maybe I can finally feel something…I thought as I looked over the skyline in the garden. I slapped my face once more that was preposterous. There is only one way for me to feel again, and that would be if I had found my soulmate, my true love. I sighed as I walked through the garden.
"Evelyn?" the voice was gentle. I turn to see the woman who had just called me. Mom, she didn't seem angry. Her face conveys something completely different. She held her arms out for me to go over to her, and when I didn't, hugged myself and flinched a bit when she had pulled me closer to her. "Evelyn… my little bird, you are safe here, no one will hurt you just because you had accidently used your magic, maybe sending you to school will hurt you more than anything, but you need to adjusted to having people around you. Oh, I wished that you were just the little girl that I knew so that I could carry you in my arms again, but you cannot go back, no one can. All that we can do is look forward into the future, and that is sometimes hard to do…"
"It's not just that. Father, he had started a war in his realm. I am the only one who can stop that war," I said looking at her. "It is also because Sofia and James had gotten into the alcohol and their emotions are less than good, not saying that they are not, but… but… I also hurt you, mom, I never…"
"I know, and you are frightened of the consequence of using them to harm Rollie and me, and we had talked about this with Cedric, he had said that you learn to control them, before sending you off, now we can see why. You are an empathy, you draw in what others are feeling, and so I told Sofia and the others that you might not be seen for a while, and not to do searching for you, and I am a bit surprised that James and Sofia had drank some alcohol, I'll have a little talk with them," she said as she walked me back into the castle. "You know, you really need to eat something, so come eat breakfast with us, and say goodbye to you brother and sisters, and Clio and Hugo…" I sighed and nodded.
"Can Cedric give those two something for there…?" I asked as she laughed gentle towards me. "I don't want to get dizzy from the euphoric…" I said looking at her.
"I'll make sure that they get the nastiest one that Cedric has," mom said. "Oh, Cedric, do you have something to give to James and Sofia, they decided to drink last night and had well…"
"I'm sorry, about earlier," I said looking down at my feet. His eyes went from mom to me. "I didn't mean to push you like that, you were only trying to help me, and I…"
"Princess, you have nothing to apologies, and for the other two, I do have something…" I'll be right back," he said as he smiled towards us. He headed towards what seemed to be his tower.
"I pushed him away because I was feeling James' emotions and his… his… well… impure emotions," I said. "I was feeling dizzy and I kind of ran into Cedric, and suddenly I smelled leather and that floral planet that I love so much… I had pushed him away so that I didn't do anything, and so that nothing would happen, that was when you had seen me outside the dining room. And now I am rambling…" I put my face into my hands as I groan. My mom had a small smile.
"Oh, sweetheart, you are in love…" she said kindly. I looked at her like she grew another head. She pushed my hair out of my face and kissed my right temple.
By the time that we had got to the dining hall, my emotions where on about seven, which was not good, I had soon felt dizzy and I wanted to run away from the room that was down the hall. I had heard someone walk closer to us. I started to breathe heavily. I just felt sick to my stomach… Then the footsteps stopped.
"Evelyn?" the voice was calm, I wanted to look up to see the person who called for me, but if I did, I would probably be sick. I didn't want to be sick. I backed up against the wall and took a few breathe to calm myself. I wanted to…
"She'll need some time, Rollie," mom said to the king, I looked up at the king and I must have looked bad because he was wearing a worried expression. I gave him a weak smile. I really wanted to yell at the others, the two siblings who were irresponsible for have something to drink at such a young age because I am feeling their sickness. "Although, I do need to tell you about two of our children's action, which kind of lead to Evelyn being in this state…" I don't remember much of their conversation, but I do remember feeling better after something happen to Sofia and James. I took a deep breath and sighed. I am no longer feeling like crap. I looked like I could stand and walk into the dining room.
"I'll be there in a few seconds. I don't want to look like I just ran a marathon," I said I as I turn to look at them.
"Then it is a good thing that I brought some water and a towel,"Baileywick said as he walked in towards us. I smiled at him. I had taken the towel and bowl of water and walked into a room that was near the dining and I had cleaned myself up. I had soon felt eyes on me, but when I looked around, I didn't see anyone, so I had shrugged it off.
I then went to the dining room and had breakfast with my family, and act like nothing had happened. James and Sofia looked a bit shamed and didn't want to make eye contact with me. Clio, Amber, and Hugo didn't seem to notice. I notice that Hugo was making moves on Sofia, and she often blushed. I smiled, knowing that she was loved by someone who shows that he cares about her.
"So, when's the wedding bells going to ring for the two happy couples?" I asked looking between Clio and James and Hugo and Sofia. Their eyes widen in shocked. "What I can't ask?"
"What… Wait… Hold on…the…" the words soon became jumbled as the two siblings spoke over each other. Hugo smiled and Clio giggled over the two. Amber looked amused over the whole thing.
"Apparently Cedric gave the two a truth potion along with another potion…" Hugo said. "That is why they are talking over each other. But to be honest, we don't know… we haven't talked about that, considering that we had started dating a few months ago." He was being honest. I liked that.
"James and I haven't talked about that, considering the fact that we had only admitted our feelings to each other, only a month before Sofia and Hugo had," Clio said. I nodded my head. "Besides, I saw you wandering off to the garden…" Clio said.
"My head was hurting, too many people getting drunk and emotions began to get wild," I said not missing a bit. "The moon was beautiful last night. I missed seeing it and singing to the moon, like I did when I was younger."
"I remember those nights, you would often walk outside our cottage, just start dancing and singing," mom said. I nodded. "Scared me most of the time. Then one day you just disappeared, and then someone brought you home the following day."
"He was a royal sorcerer's son," I said not realizing the strange looks I was receiving. I had this urge to want to hide for some reason. "What?" I asked taking a sip from the cup that was in front of me.
"A royal sorcerer's son?" King Roland said. I nodded.
"Sire, the children will be late for school, if they don't leave, soon," and with that Baileywick said coming into the dining room, without realizing the words that were just spoken. "Sire?"
"Oh, is it that time already?" King Roland asked as he turns to see Baileywick. "Well, children, you might want to hurry up before you are late for school." The other got ready to finish breakfast and headed out to the carriage. I slowly ate the food in front of my, not feeling hungry, but I know that I needed to eat.
After everyone was finished eating, we all headed outside, Mom, King Roland and I waved goodbye to Sofia, Amber, Clio, James, and Hugo as they headed to school. King Roland had then turned to face me. He looked like he was pondering on something to ask me but didn't say anything. He opened his mouth then closed it trying to figure out what he wanted to say and then how he was going to word the sentence. Then finally, the words came out like butter being spread on bread, "Evelyn, did someone find you in a meadow on the other side of the village?"

Well, there is Chapter 7! Wow, I had a hard time writing this chapter to say. I wasn't quite sure how to go about the after party. And Clara, she'll be relieved, along with Darragon and that mysterious man. Don't worry; there will be more to come. However, I am not sure how many more chapters, but I know that there will be at least 3-4 chapters before the second part.
