Chapter Two

Special Dinner

Esmerelda opened her hazel eyes and saw that her room was still dark, looking at the time she saw it was two in the morning and she sighed knowing it was going to be another long night. The blonde had been suffering from nightmares recently. Sometimes they were about losing her magic to Agatha and sometimes they were about Ethel and Sybil injured and her not being able to help them as she is not at school.

Esmerelda stood up knowing it was going to take her ages to get back to sleep. Her parents would be mad if she wandered around the mansion at night so she instead walked into her bathroom and looked at her face in the mirror. She looked tired, her eyes were red and puffy from lack of sleep. Knowing she had no choice she returned to her bed and spent the next few hours trying to get back to sleep but she lay in bed awake, haunted by her nightmares.

She got back to sleep after a few hours and when she woke up it was nine. 'Ethel and Sybil would be going to lessons now' she thought before shaking her head knowing it was bad for her to think of that. She quickly dressed and then as she had for the last two months in the mornings grabbed a book and started flickering through it hoping this time she will get lucky and find some new information about how to get back her lost magic.

Nothing at all. By the time she had finished reading she realised she had missed breakfast. Oh well she told herself, it was not a big deal. She stroked Morgana who stretched out on her legs happily and felt her mind drifting.

Esmerelda was smart and she knew something was wrong with her mind right now. She couldn't think of happy moments, only sad and she felt trapped like everywhere she looked was dark and the world had faded of colour. Her sisters were her only joy in her world but as soon as they left the mirror her world darkened again. She was struck. She didn't belong in the magical world anymore but didn't belong in the non-magical world, she was just stuck in limbo trying to fit in somewhere again.

Esmerelda reached over to her bedside table and took out a purple leather bounded book. She had never really being one for diaries, more for the reason she didn't have time to write in them but since losing her magic and having all the time in the world she had been writing in it daily. She looked at the date and wrote it in the corner before making her entry.

"This feeling won't go away, the darkness is still within me. Mother and father would never let me see someone to help with it but it is getting more difficult as time goes on. The world seems to become more drained of colour everyday and I don't know how to make it light again. The worst part is that temptations are becoming more great, I can still feel the tingle of that burn...but I know I must resist that, it is not the way to go" Esmerelda wrote as she stroked Morgana now and then wondering if there was anything else she could write.

"Ethel and Sybil are unaware I suspect, although I see their suspicions are rising, it might be best to find some sort of club to join, anything to take my mind of my current situation." she finished writing.

She put her pen down and then hid her diary back in her drawer. It wasn't the best hiding place but she knew no-one would find it, her parents didn't really go in her room anyway. She left her bedroom then knowing she couldn't stay in there all day or she would go insane and headed down the stairs. She decided maybe it was best to join some sort of club because then she will have a reason to go out so she decided she would go and see which clubs there were at the local community centre she could join.

"Esmerelda" she heard a familiar voice say and turned to see Sebastian there again. She didn't attempt a smile but was polite.

"Yes Sebestian?" Esmerelda replied wondering what he wanted. She didn't feel like talking.

"Your parents had to go in early today but they left me with a message for you, they said that tonight the Moonlights are coming for dinner so make sure you are ready" he told Esmerelda passing on the message. Esmerelda's eyes widened in horror.

"The Moonlights?" she said horrified

"Yes" the man said looking less than pleased. Esmerelda was not surprised as even her butler didn't enjoy waiting on the world's brattiest little boy. Who would?

Prince Moonlight. He made Ethel look like a perfect angel in comparison. He was spoiled, loud, cocky, demanding and the ultimate rich child that films liked to show. He was the one person that Esmerelda had considered cursing in her life. He made her so angry and in her current mental state seeing Prince was to much.

"Tell my parents I am not well" Esmerelda told him and Sebastian nodded sympathetically knowing they would not let her off the hook. Esmerelda rushed out the front door her bad mood getting worse by the second.

Bloody Prince. Why could he not get trapped in a painting like Agatha? The only people who would miss him were his parents, no-one else liked the little brat. Esmerelda tried not to think to much about it as she walked without a destination, just needing some air to clear her head.

She was sick. No that wouldn't work. She had to think of an excuse to get out of the dinner but she sighed as she knew her parents wouldn't let her no matter what excuse she had. Maybe if she stayed out long enough she would miss it and she could say she forgot? That sounded like a good plan.

She realised she had walked into a wooded area by accident then. She didn't come here often but she smiled slightly. Being lost in some woods was a good excuse for not going to the stupid dinner. Esmerelda was just planning on walking further into them so she had longer to walk around them, proud of herself for thinking of such a good reason to miss the dinner. Well it would have being a good reason if she wasn't transferred back to her bedroom just then.

"Esmerelda you better start getting ready, you will be late" Mrs Hallow said and Esmerelda hated magic in that moment. She nearly got out with it if it wasn't for the fact her parents could transfer her.

"Where have you been? You look a mess" her father said as Esmerelda had dirt on her from walking through mud in the woods. "Go shower and dress now" her mother said but Esmerelda clutched her stomach.

"I don't feel good" she said hoping someone had gave them a personality changing potion and they would take pity on her.

"You are going" her father said as they left and Esmerelda knew she had no choice. She didn't have the strength to fight with them.

She showered quickly and dressed in the purple gown her mother had picked out. She always hated these fancy dresses, they were itchy and unflattering but she left quickly, needing to get this over with.

"MUMMY I AM HUNGRY" Prince shouted. Five seconds she had been down and he was being a brat. Prince was around Sybil's age, Esmerelda had never bothered to learn his exact age. He had dark hair that was slicked back, beady eyes and his ugly nose pointed in the air. Esmerelda felt like grabbing the boy and throwing him out the window already as they sat down to eat.

"I heard you lost your magic" Prince started saying as their parents talked

"I was tricked into giving it away" Esmerelda replied not wanting to talk about her absent powers with the likes of Prince Moonlight.

"How could you fall for something like that?" Prince said before he stuffed food into his mouth. Esmerelda did not get her wish of him choking. He chewed loudly with his mouth opened, swallowed, then kept talking.

"I did it for my sister" Esmerelda went on wanting nothing more than to leave.

"Oh yes I forgot you have siblings, how unfortunate, being an only child means you get everything" Prince said happily. Esmerelda never understood that logic, she still got everything anyway because of the stupid code saying the eldest inherits everything.

"I like having sisters, I love them" Esmerelda told Prince knowing he wouldn't understand that.

Prince looked at the girl funny before screaming "I NEED THE TOILET" the boy shouted and Esmerelda was glad of this fact. She got half an hour's peace as his mum got their driver to take him home and bring him back. Prince refused to use any toilet but his one at home. He got around this as he went to day wizard school so waited until he got home which was why he was at that dinner, his parents couldn't let their precious Prince live away. Esmerelda closed her eyes enjoying the peace and quiet but unfortunately for her he got back after twenty minutes instead of half an hour as there was no traffic.

"Did you miss me?" Prince asked Esmerelda as he plonked himself down and the girl had to refrain from laughing in his face.

"Yes like a nail in my thumb" Esmerelda replied sarcastically. Prince did not seem to understand she was being sarcastic because his expression didn't change.

"Of course you did, I am the most important person in the world, I am perfect which is why my parents had one child" he told Esmerelda who shook her head at him.

"Whatever Prince" Esmerelda replied frustrated with him.

"And I go to the best school ever, Cackles is such a rundown school" Prince went on. Esmerelda felt sad as he spoke about Cackles. She wanted to go back so badly.

"And the pupils who go are low class" Prince went on speaking

"My sisters are not low class, they are the best" Esmerelda replied insulted he would say that.

"I bet I can do magic better than them" Prince replied and Esmerelda had to refrain from screaming. She was upset and angry and she wished he would shut up about magic. Prince was making her even more depressed than she already was and she looked at the clock, choking back a sob as she wondered why it was going so slowly.
