heyy! this is my original story that I made up. Please read and enjoy!

Chapter 19

Daphne's P.O.V

I watched each of Alex's moves, my eyes narrowed. He snickered. "Princess, Princess, don't look at me like that..." I huffed, ignoring his words. Brie stood beside me, taking my arm. I knew she would always have my back. He looked at both of us and laughed. "You guys look exactly the same!"

"Well, no shit, Sherlock. We're just twins." Brie spat sarcastically. Our group giggled as it was Alex's turn to narrow his eyes.

"No more playing around. Guards, get them!" He ordered and the guards rushed at us.

In a quick second, we all transformed automatically, doing this so many times before.

"Daph, the guy behind you! Quick step to the right, now left now duck! Ok good, kick his ass." she ordered, and I quickly obeyed. Soon, using her mind reading skills and her ninja techniques, she knocked out ten guys straight, while I only covered two.

"Show off." One of the guys muttered but we were still in action so I didn't take note of who said it.

Suddenly, I fell to my knees, feeling weak. My head throbbed and I felt light-headed. A "vision" hit me, and I lost focus on what was happening now. Blood, there's so much blood... I thought as the vision blurred. Many people were fighting and raging about. Just what was this??? The vision faded, even though it wasn't as sharp as the first one I had, but what was going on now did not come back.

Instead, I fell into a deep, deep darkness...

Brie's P.O.V

I jumped and did a flying back kick on one guy, who fell into two others. "YES!" I cried happily, using my power to its fullest. Then, out of my peripheral vision, I saw Daphne sank to the ground. Her eyes closed and she was in that same state like earlier, in the cafe. "DAPHNE!"

Dylan heard my cry and ran over to his girlfriend. He was weak, still, but tried to carry my sister off. I came back to the ground, and ran over to help fend off the guards trying to get to both my sister and Dylan.

"Run!" I ordered but Dylan could barely take a step as a secret soldier came up behind him, knocking him out. Dylan and Daphne both fell to the ground. I knelt down beside them, making sure they were ok...and that was my mistake. Immediately some soldiers grabbed hold of me, and I could do nothing but frail around. I shouted for help and almost screamed as they forcefully yanks my sister up and onto their shoulder. They did the same with Dylan. I realized that most of my friends had gotten caught, and were being led away.

I struggled against the man holding me. "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!??!?" But he surprised me by hitting a very sensitive pressure point behind my neck...and I lost control of my body. I couldn't move, and could hardly breathe. Oh my gawd, I could die here!

Where were they taking us? was my last thought as the guy threw me over his shoulder, as if I was a rag doll instead of a "princess". I cringed away from the title.

Daphne's P.O.V

I opened my eyes slowly, feeling groggy. I don't understand what had happened, but it definitely wasn't good. I sat up, only to find myself in a large, fluffy bed. I rubbed my eyes and began to examine the room, until someone at my bedside screamed, "SHE'S AWAKE! THE PRINCESS IS AWAKE!" Right in my ear.

I growled and looked over at the young maid only to get another surprise. She had light purple hair and shocking dark purple eyes. She blushed at me, then hurried from the room. In a matter of moments, another woman came in, this one beginning to age. She had her bright orange (no not red, ORANGE) hair in a high bun. "Princess, you're up. That is good. Please get changed. It's time to leave." She walked to the wardrobe on the opposite side of the room and went through the dresses there. "I feel this red dress will really look nice on you." I nodded, not really knowing what was going on.

As she helped me change, I wondered out loud, "Where are the others?" Memory flooded slowly into my head as I remembered fainting on the spot, during the fight. The woman ignored me purposely as she sat me down on the desk to do my hair and makeup. Why was I getting dressed up? And why was this dress so...old-fashioned??? It was strapless red and a huge, black bow was at my back. The dress went to the floor, hiding my black high heels. The dress was all satin and silk, beautiful fabric. I took a look in the mirror. She had tied my black hair up into a half-ponytail and curled the ends of my hair. Red eyeshadow, pink cheeks, and pink lip-glossed lips was the replacement for my pale skin. The truth is, I looked absolutely gorgeous. But hey, wasn't I always? Just kidding!

I frowned slightly at my now dull black hair compared to all the funky colours here. Why was mine black? Why not red, blue, green or purple??? It wasn't fair!

The lady helped me stand up and allowed me to walk first, her head bowed. "This way, Princess." I decided to let her lead, and once more she held her head up high.

My face lit up as an identical face and body came towards me. Brie was dressed in the exact same dress as me, except hers was a rosy pink. "Daphne!" she cried relieved, taking my hand. We walked down the hallway together, analyzing everything. I looked outside and gasped. The sky was a blood red and everything else was black. The only things that were standing out were the people. Everyone had pale, shining skin that recognized them as one. The only difference was their hair colour, eye colour and physical features.

"T-the sky...it's...it's red!" I exclaimed. "Woah..."

Brie shushed me, motioning to the women in front of us, who were leading. "They're thinking that we're stupid..."

I blushed deeply, making my cheeks looking pinker then they really are. "Oh. Sorry."

She shook her head. "How dare they! We're p-princesses," She cringed, "and they shouldn't be treating us nor our friends this way! Besides, they're all royalty too! How would their parents feel, knowing their children were abducted and treated this way?"

I nodded. "I agree completely. Where are we going, anyway?"

"Well...from what I know, I think...I think we're home..."

Brie's P.O.V

I watched Daphne's face light up at all the right times, especially when she saw something interesting or different. I smiled each time she did, because she acted like a complete child.

"Brie! Brie! Look at that!" She said as she pointed at a portrait hanging on the wall. It was a picture of a beautiful mid-night-haired, blue-eyed princess, her head held high as a gorgeous shimmering tiara sat in her nestle of curls.

"Calm down, Daphie. I think we'll get an official tour later, is that ok? Right now, focus! We've also gotta find the others." I informed, sad that I had to dampen her mood.

I was surprised when in fact, it had not. "Ok!" She chirped and kept her comments to herself but she was still bubbling from excitement.

We walked on, down hallway after hallway...until, we came to an abrupt stop. The two women in the front bowed deeply to someone in front of them. I looked up and raised my eyebrows, taking a grip on Daphne's arm.

There were three people in front of us, two were boys and one was a girl. One of the boys, who looked oldest, smiled at us. "Hello. You guys must be Gabriella and Daphne. I am Devron. This is George, and Emberlynn. There's also Edward, but he's not here right now. We're your brothers and sister."

I glanced at them, trying to keep a straight face, without showing any emotion. I was pretty good at it, thanks to Monica, and it was easy for me. "Hey."

Daphne shifted ever so lightly closer to me. Her face showed no terror, but I knew better. So I concentrated and went straight into her mind. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh no. Oh no. We have siblings! Look at them...they look so....scary...

"Welcome home." Emberlynn said quietly. Her voice was beautiful, I realized. She was beautiful. Her hair was half up and half down, kind of like Daphne's, except her long, mid-night black hair came to the floor. Her striking hot pink eyes were kind and quiet. She was the ideal princess, if you think about it. They were related all right; the hair and eye colour was enough to prove. The boys had dark purple eyes and the same mid-night black hair.

"We'll take it from here." George finally ordered the women to leave. Once they were gone, Daphne and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank God." I whispered.

"How come? You did not like them? And Daphne, please speak. We won't hurt you. We're related by blood." Devron commented. He smiled, and offered his arm to her. I let go of her arm, feeling self-conscious, while she nervously took his. George came and took my arm, while Emberlynn leaded.

I went into Devron's mind first, just to figure them out. Why isn't she talking? Am I really that frightening? That kinda stinks. We've been waiting so long for our last members of the family to arrive! Even though it is a bit early. I smiled at him. "It is, isn't it?"

He looked at me in surprise. Before my words, no one had spoken. We had stopped in the hall once more, and everyone looked at me this time. Daphne giggled, then burst into fits. The others followed her lead.

"So. Gabby, you read minds?" Devron asked, clearly impressed. "How interesting."

"Don't call her Gabby. No one ever does. It's Brie." Daphne informed him, smiling.

"Ahh, the silent princess finally talks. I am quite honoured." Devron laughed.

"And what can you do, Daphne?" George asked.

"Oh, nothing special. All I do is predict the future." she answered, now relaxed.

"Hush, guys." Came Emberlynn's quiet voice. "We are almost there. Father and Mother are waiting on the other side. They will be ever so pleased."

The huge golden doors ahead of us flew opened and we strolled in, our heads high and our faces wiped of humour.

I stared at the two royal people sitting in the high thrones. The man had raven black hair and sharp lavender eyes. His clothes were wrinkle-less and were of black and red. The woman beside him, our mother I suppose, had long, mid-night black hair, that shined blue. She had soft pink eyes a motherly stance.

Many people were also in the room, apparently for a party. Everyone else had wacky colours for hairs and eyes and were all dressed up. I scanned the crowd. I realized now that only royalty have black hair and wore the colours black and red or versions of it. The most familiar person I saw next gave a joy to my heart: Aaron.

His silver eyes caught my pink ones, and he smiled sheepishly before gaining a straight face once more, and looked towards his father, who was sitting beside him at their own table. On the other side was none other then Alex, a smirk on his face. His ugly grey eyes lit up with happiness and greed. He stood up and clicked his glass with a butter knife.

"A Toast. To the newest princesses! To Princess Daphne and Princess Gabriella." he cheered and everyone else echoed. "To Princess Daphne and Princess Gabriella."

I cringed away from all the people calling me a princess. I felt nothing like a princess. I didn't even want to be one. I'd rather be a ninja, or better yet, a spy. But Daphne seemed to be enjoying herself. We got seated and soon, everyone was up and dancing.

This seemed like a good night, except for the fact that our friends were still missing, and I had a nagging feeling in my gut.

No One's P.O.V After a few hours

Alex took another swipe of his glass of tasty red wine. In a matter of moments, victory shall be his! His whole plan had changed and now he would be King! He laughed evilly inside his head, already planning his next attack; on Ivylonia. By holding their royalty's children, he would get a huge ransom and win over Ivylonia! How perfect!

Then, he noticed some soldiers come into the room. Ahh, perfect timing. he was just about ready. "Everyone! May I please call your attention?"

Aaron looked up at his brother with a confused look on his face. "What are you doing?"

Alex laughed as everyone quieted down and turned to him for the news. "I, Alex Fernandez, was the one to find the two missing princesses and I was the one who brought them here. So I think that I should get a reward for this. And since only I planned it, I picked my own prize. The crown."

At that sudden moment, chaos broke out. Alex had grabbed his father, bringing a knife to his throat, threatening the people to stay. "As the oldest child, I feel that I am ready to take over my part of our world." He informed, slicing his father's throat ever so slightly. Instead of the original red blood that was suppose to come out, blue blood did. Royalty blood.

Everyone covered their noses and mouths, except for those underage. Those, like Brie, Aaron and Daph, who were immune to the thirst for blood. Especially royalty blood. People tried to escape as ninjas flew down from the ceiling and began to catch people and tie them up as hostages. Screams echoed inside the large room. A loud whistle could be heard and the girls ran towards their parents, automatically needed support and help. Their father blew the whistle, and a number of guards came in, fighting off the ninjas-slash-bad guys.

Brie and Daphne ducked behind the throne with their mother and sister. They watched in horror as their father and brothers went off fighting. A young man, dressed in the exact same type of clothe as their brother, was leading the next group of guards. All that could be heard from the room would be clanks as swords hit each other. The young man rushed off to his mother and sisters, and telling them, "I heard about the invasion. I rounded up our guards. We'll be safe, don't worry. By the way, I'm Edward." He winked at his baby sisters before running off to join the fight.

The Queen, their mom, fainted from worry right in their arms and Emberlynn laid her delicately in her lap. "Go, girls!" She whispered. "Go and find your friends and an exit!"

"But...but Edward said it'll be ok!" Daphne stammered. "Just go! And hurry!" she urged.

The two stood up and rushed out of there. Aaron caught up to them, and showed them a possible exit.

"Don't worry. Just hurry ok? Just your necklaces," he gave us our pendants, "to find the others. Then come back; be transformed. We're going to need you." He gave Brie a quick peck on the cheek before closing the door.

Silence filled the hall.

Together, they hurried off to where their pendants leaded them...towards a locked room.

"How do we get in?" Daphne asked her sister. She was starting to feel frustrated.

"Look. It's time to use our ninja skills, ok? Think like a ninja!" Brie urged her.

"I have no skills!" Daphne cried.

"Fine. Just follow my lead." Brie sighed then looked around the hall and found what she was looking for. A heating vent. "There." she pointed.

"We have to go through there?With these dresses?" Daphne exclaimed. How come she wa being so negative?

Brie sighed again, bending down and tore the beautiful dress so that it came up to Daphne's knees. She shrieked. "MY DRESS!"

Brie did the same to hers, and then grabbed for a small table, placing it against the wall. She helped Daphne up first, and then helped herself up. She tore open the vent, and they both crawled inside, closing the vent behind them so it wouldn't be as suspicious. Even though no one was looking for them.

They continued to crawl in silence, except for Daphne's once-in-a-while complain about how dusty it was. Finally, they looked down and found the others. Hope surged through their body, and Daphne stomped on the vent, then watched with satisfaction as it gave way.

They jumped down, and landed on their fours, so they wouldn't hurt their ankles from the pressure and weight. Quickly, they released their friends. Ushering for silence, they transformed and made their way down the halls...back into the room full of fighters.

All ready, they burst into the room and joined the fight, using magical powers.

After half an hour of sweat,blood and tired body muscles, the "little" fight ended, the good side winning. The hostages were set free and the ninjas ran for their lives...even Alex. But before he left, he promised in a loud shout, "I WILL GET YOU ALL BACK! JUT WATCH ME!"

And they had nothing else to do and hope that it would not be soon.
