I don't own TUC only my OC's. I'm so sorry! You probably don't want any of my excuses so I'll just say that I just got out of school so I'll be able to update sooner. Hopefully. So don't be to mad here's chapter 3
Chapter 3
Simon
I glanced at the watch on the desk in my room. It was almost time for me to escort my sister to Peter's party. I quickly left my room to get to Silvia's.
Upon my entry I saw her franticly stuffing things into her pack. She had not yet noticed me. "Silvia! What are you doing?" Silvia froze and slowly lifted her head to peer at me through the strands of her long blonde hair. I shook my head, "Why must you do this? Mother and Father are barely allowing you to go to Peter's party, and they will surely keep you in your rooms until you are old and unable to walk if you keep this up."
"As if you care," Silvia snapped at me, "I want to leave and you cannot stop me!"
"I can and I will; if not for your sake then for our parents and the future of Regalia. Please Silvia, just one night can you stop this selfishness and enjoy celebrating with our cousin and our friends." I pleaded not wanting to see my only sister locked up.
"Fine," she sighed, "but know this. I am not doing this for you. It is only because I wish to see Cannon."
I scowled, "Very well. It is time for us to leave anyways. Apollo and Artemis are waiting for us in the High Hall." Cannon, I thought darkly, that boy will be the ruin of her. He has been putting those ideas in her head I just know it. I'm sure he is even thinking about joining her if she ever makes it up there.
I sighed and mounted Artemis. I didn't want to see my sister with Cannon. That boy had no respect for Silvia or any other girl for that matter. He only likes her because she was going to be queen. Any fool could see that. Any fool except for Silvia.
The bats landed and we dismounted. We entered the ballroom and sat down at one of the many tables. Peter entered moments later.
"Hey guys." Peter greeted us.
"Hello." I said and nudged my sister.
She looked up and said, "You can see it written all over your face."
"See what?" Peter dared her knowing exactly what she was talking about. His mother would have loved to be here and he wanted her to be. I could see that, but thought it best not to mention it.
"Silvia, don't get into this now." I said trying to stop the fight before it became a shouting match between the two cousins. I didn't like the fact that my sister only did it to get a rise out of him. Everyone knew that this was a sensitive subject for Peter.
Silvia glared at me and flicked her blonde hair out of her face, "I know you miss your mommy but try not to embarrass us. I can see right through you, and I know that if I can then so can everyone else." I closed my eyes praying that my cousin wouldn't say anything.
"You don't know what it's like." Peter said his anger getting the better of him.
I sighed hoping that it wouldn't escalate into anything but a shouting match at the most.
"Know what what's like? Your mommy being dead? Or having a dad that's gone mental?" Silvia said innocently. Again I was wrong.
Silvia stood up and Peter lunged at her, but I stepped in between the two cousins, and pulled Peter back. "Don't. Talk. About. My. Family." Peter growled. I shook my head and pushed Peter down into a seat.
Silvia smirked and sat down again. Then Gregor came in looking tired, "Children must you fight like this? This is a very special day for Peter, and yours is two weeks from now."
"I'm sorry Father." Silvia said looking down.
"I'm sorry too Uncle." Peter said looking him in the eyes.
"Now after this event is over I would like to see all three of you in mine and Luxa's chambers." Gregor said speaking to all three of them. We nodded and Gregor went to tell the guards to allow the guests in.
The party went by quickly or so it seemed to me. I watched with careful eyes that burned with hatred as Cannon danced with Silvia. I caught every single movement of Cannon's hands slowly sliding down my sister's backside and the way she giggled at every word that came out of his mouth.
I growled feeling extremely protective of her at that moment. Soon it was over and all the guests left. I didn't have to talk politely with any one. No more appearances to keep up with. Although I did wonder why Acacia left so suddenly. Then again maybe I didn't want to know.
"Well I guess this means we have to go meet Father now." Silvia said and motioned for the both of us to follow her. I stood and began leading them out the door. Demetirus nodded as we passed and followed behind us.
When Silvia looked back he said, "I am supposed to escort you to their chambers." Silvia scowled and turned away from him. I smirked at her scowl.
When they reached their rooms my mother and father motioned for us to follow them down the hall. They stopped in front of the prophecy room. Once we were inside my mother spoke, "The reason we have brought you here is because of something that was discovered shortly after you three were born. We have chosen this time in your lives to reveal it because certain events," she said looking at Silvia, "have started to take place." I wondered what that could mean.
Silvia gulped and looked at her feet her blonde hair falling across her face. My father continued for his wife, "The reason we have brought you in this particular room is because it happens to be a prophecy."
Mother led us to a spot on the wall with an oil lamp illuminating a prophecy.
Prophecy of Hero's
Children of Warriors
Children of Speakers
Come together
To save the Keepers
If Over conquers
Then Under crumbles
Save the daughter
Before she stumbles
Live the life
But in the present
Do not dwell on the past
It will change you fast
Use your strength
To save the others
Rely not on your own
Or else end up alone
Each listen to your call
Or else you all shall fall
And hero's you will become
I could now see why my mother had looked at Silvia, but why did this concern me and Peter?
"What does this have to do with us?" Peter asked.
Father glanced at Mother, "Well you Peter as a son of my sister are a child of a Speaker, Silvia and Simon are my children so they are children of a Warrior."
"I think I understand Father, but what are we to do?" I asked.
"We believe that you are meant to find the Keepers." Mother began.
"Who are they?" Silvia interrupted.
"I was just about to get to that." Mother said irritated by her interruption, then continued, "The Keepers are the ones who hold the keys to the Underland. They keep the keys out of harms way so that no harm may befall our land. If even one of the keys were discovered it would be disastrous."
"Why is it so bad?" Peter asked. Again Father glanced at Mother.
"The holder of that key could destroy a certain race or at least make them do their bidding. They would have complete control over that race."
"Oh, I see why that would be bad." Peter said. I nodded, even though I did not totally understand why I, my cousin, and my sister were so important. All I knew was that Silvia couldn't get to the Overland. That would be the last thing needed.
Well what do you think? I promised the prophecy in this chapter and here it is! So please review even if it is to yell at me for not updating.
