A/N : Hello readers! Since I thought it would be boring to include Blair's first school day and the next years, I just skipped to 8 years later with a flashback of Blair finding out the truth. Would be too depressing to tell the whole thing. So anyways, here is *drum roll* chapter 3! Enjoy :3
~~Flashback~~
Blair walked into the school cafeteria with Katania and Novalia, now known as Nova, by her side. She was 10 years old, and everytime she walked in the cafeteria, everyone stared at her for some unknown reason. At first she thought it was because she was a princess and all that stuff, but when another of her sisters walked in, nothing happen. Girls kept talking about the newest fashions and boys discussed about the sports they played. But everything was different with Blair and her triplet sisters. At first it was just stares. But then came the strange whispers that seemed to be about her. Later, the gossips joined in. How Katania and Nova never left Blair alone. How Blair never wore proper school outfits. How Blair didn't take the secret afterschool class everyone else took. How Blair was so different. Just like everyday, Blair tried to escape.
"Hey girls! Its soo nice outside, why don't we go eat there?" she asked her sisters for the tenth time this month. If it wasen't outside, she always tried to go elsewhere.
"Nice try,sis. But I rather stay in, it's a little windy at the moment." answered Nova with a small smile. Truthfully, it wasen't windy at all. Their mother controled the wind, which was kept a secret from Blair. Just like anything magic related. At first it was hard to keep a secret from Blair, them being sisters. But mother said it was for everyone's own good.
"Fine. Katsy, do you wanna come along?" asked Blair hopefully. It was so boring to eat alone, even if it meant avoiding the gossips for a while.
"Please stop calling me that, and sorry, I don't want to go out there. There's a squirrel thats always trying to steal my food. I think it might have rabbies." replied the strawberry blonde girl. Not using magic was one thing. Lying to one of her best friends and sisters was another story. So many lies to protect a kingdom, it was hard to keep up. At least everyone was safe, but those gossips could get dangerous. If the magic topic was brought up that is. Blair's smile turned to a sad frown.
"Okay, if you are looking for me, I'll be by the big oak tree. See ya." she sadly said, walking out of the large lunch room. Nova sat in one of the chairs, and as she opened her lunch bag, she noticed Katania staring at her.
"Really? I think she can take care of herself for 10 minutes." pointed out Nova, reading her sister's mind.
"We are her sisters. Her triplets. Leave that lunch here and c'mon!" answered a frustrated Katania, doing her best to keep calm.
"She's 10. Not 2." added Nova grabbing Katania's arm. Katania seemed to think about it.
"Vali, if something happens to her we are dead. Dead I say." Katania argued. She freed her arm and ran out. To the stairs. The stairs that lead to the roof. Nova rolled her eyes and followed behind.
Meanwhile, Blair was sitting in the oak tree's shade. The cool spring breeze made her long brown waves flow in the wind. The young princess descided not to eat, all the gossip cut her appetit. Luckily her sisters were nice to her. Katelyn was 17. Alexandra, known as Xandi, was 18 years old and so was Amethyst. Lily was 5 and Genesis was 4. The 2 youngest ones are excited for school, while Blair wishes she didn't need to come everyday. She didnt mind working, it made her forget about the bad stuff for a few minutes. The stares, the whispers, the gossip, all happening in front of her as if she didn't exist. There was no after-school classes, her mother had said so. And her mother was always right, she was the queen after all. Which made Blair and her sisters princesses. Well Blair certainly didn't feel like a princess at school.
A huge crash was heard. Frightened, Blair's head shot up and what she saw, she would never forget it. It was a giant headless monster, its claws were large and look like they can crush the enemy and had a medium-like body. It roared so loud that the ground started shaking. Blair was frozen in spot. There was a monster that could win book awards in the kingdom. In Crystalaria. Heading towards the school?!
"Don't stay frozen there! Run!" screamed Katania. Blair looked in her direction. Katania and Nova were on the roof. Katania did a perfect flip as she jumped from the top of the school, closely followed by Nova.
"Ruby sisters power, Transform!" the both said at the same time. Ruby pendants appeared to their necks, and before you knew it they were transformed to fairies.
~~End Flashback~~
3 years later
It had been 3 years, and Blair would not, could not forgive them. For 10 years they had lied to her. Did they think she was too weak to have powers?! Blair could not find another excuse, her mother refusing to tell her the truth. 10 years of lies, 3 horrible years of loneliness and bullying. Her title of 'Princess Blair Gems Of Crystalaria' seemed to be forgotten to all, because nobody respected her anymore. But why would they? She didn't have magic. She could never become queen. She could never become a guardian fairy. She would never save the world from evil. She was only the princess, no, the weak being who would need protection from all her fears. A powerless child. The only powerless child in Crystalaria. But it would soon all change.
That day, Blair had ran away from the school again. Someone had called her a powerless little girl again. That person was stupid, they were all stupid. Blair couldn't believed she had trusted her sisters. They had hidden the existance of magic from her. What else was hidden? She would never know. The young princess called her alicorn, who came as soon as it heard the call. Scarlett and Blair had developped a bond over the years and they could almost read each other's minds. So a simple call by one was heard by the other and they could meet up very fast. Blair climbed on her red alicorn and they took off, flying to their normal destination, Crystal Mount. Blair took her hair down and let it fly in the wind. It made her feel free. She opened her eyes and noticed that Scarlett had taken a wrong turn.
"Scarlett where are you going? The mountain is that way." reminded the young princess. Scarlett didn't listen and made a right turn, at Blair's fear. To the right was a waterfall. And Blair can't swim! Protecting her head with her hands, Blair fell off her ride as they went through the waterfall. She fell and was waiting to hit her head against the gem ground but it never happen. She opened her eyes again and saw that she was floating above the ground, black and purple sparks dancing around her, keeping her from falling.
"Good thing you didn't fall, the ground is very hard!" exclaimed a feminine voice. Blair looked over her shoulder and saw a very pretty girl, no older than 18 years old. She had short black hair and purple eyes. She wore a purple dress with black accesories, like spiked black boots and black jewelry. Strangely, this lady seemed familiar.
"Um, thank you for saving me." shyly said Blair. The black haired girl smiled.
"No problem. I fell on those rocks the day I first came here. I couldn't fly for about a week. I think I hurt my wings, so did Darkness." answered the lady.
"Darkness?" asked Blair. Hopefully this lady wasn't an evil witch, even if she didn't look like it.
"My alicorn. Wanna see her?" asked the lady. Blair sighed in relief. No witch would fly on an alicorn, she was sure of it. The young princess nodded. The black haired girl made a sign with her hand, telling Blair to follow her. They walked a bit, then, they met up with an alicorn. It was purple, a silver streak was in her mane, and its eyes and wings were black. It was nearly possible to see a black aura surrounding the creature.
"I understand why you called her Darkness. She looks beautiful!" exclaimed Blair. The black haired lady smiled politely.
"Thank you, but I like yours better. You know, red alicorns are very rare." she complimented. "What is your name?" she added. Blair hesitated a little but introduced herself.
"I am princess Blair of Crystalaria. Pleasure to meet you." politely replied the teen princess. The black haired lady seemed surprised, then extremely happy. She hugged Blair.
"Blair, my dear little sister, im so glad you're okay!" whispered the black haired girl. Blair was extremely surprised. Who was that girl? Was she her sister? What else had been hidden from Blair?
