Authors Note: I was so excited that I wrote chapter eight sooner than intended to! I left chapter seven at a cliffhanger even for myself, as I had to think what would be happening in the next chapters. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed & read my work! Here's chapter eight! Hope ya'll like it!
The four monarchs were frozen to the ground. What was causing this? Why was this happening? These were a few of the questions that ran through the royals minds as they looked at each others facial expressions and their illuminating wings. Never had they'd seen anything like it, Dewey was quickly writing down notes in his book for later. Nobody spoke, either they were all speechless or afraid of what to say. All of a sudden, a ghostly creature appeared. The monarchs backed away with fear, breaking the circle and allowing their wings to stop glowing.
The creature was huge, but it seemed to be made of some sort of concentrated white liquid. It was about as tall as the pixie dust tree, with large eyes. It held a huge flattened diamond in its hand and placed it in the pixie dust center, by the flowing falls. The pixie dust dropped onto the jewel and began to create an image, similar to the snowflake Dewey had in his library. Robert, Dania, James and Clarion stepped onto the diamond after being instructed by the creature's hand. Once all four sets of feet were set onto the gem, the imagery became more and more visible…
An image of a couple appeared in front of them. The women had honey brown hair and sparkling blue eyes that put sapphires to shame. The screen then showed a label, which said 'Queen of Neverland.' She was an image of Clarion. The other three glanced at the Pixie Hollow Queen, but they only received a shrug of her shoulders as a response. Clarion studied the women and couldn't believe how alike they looked. It could easily been mistaken for her, but it wasn't… at least she didn't think it was her. The male looked very different yet familiar to all of them. He had blonde hair and emerald green eyes and another label appeared saying 'King of Neverland.' He was an image of James. He wrapped an arm around the women and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Then they began a conversation.
"Maria?" The male asked the women. Maria turned to him.
"Yes, Roland?" Maria replied. Roland placed a hand on her cheek, obviously worried about something according to his facial reactions.
"We've been married for a while now and…I was wondering if you would ever consider having a child together." Maria smiled and jumped into her husband's arms and kissed him.
"There's nothing I'd rather do, honey!" She exclaimed smiling ever so brightly. Roland smiled and hugged his wife and held her for as long as he could.
The Kings and Queens gave each other confused looks before the image faded and showed something else. There was a label that said nine months later. The image appeared with Roland standing by Maria, who was holding a baby in her arms.
"He's perfect." Maria sighed as she stared at the little boy in her arms. He had green eyes and honey brown hair.
"What shall we name him?" Roland said as he looked at their baby. Maria thought for a moment.
"I want you to name. Since he had his daddy's beautiful eyes." Maria said looking into her baby's eyes then his father's.
"I think Robert would suite him finely." Maria nodded in agreement. She kissed her husband then her little Robert.
The three monarchs stared at Robert in shock. Robert was speechless but responded with a shrug before the next image began to appear. The King and Queen stood next to each other with, what looked like a younger version of, Robert. He had to be about five years old.
"Look at her…" Maria gushed at her newborn princess. The baby was giggling lightly with her blue eyes shining and her soft golden hair, the queen couldn't help but stare ate her.
"Mummy, I want to see my new sister!" Young Robert said. Roland laughed and picked up his now eldest son. Robert leaned in to catch a glimpse of her. "She has daddy's hair!" He exclaimed excitedly. For a five year old, seeing a similarity between his baby sister and father was rather fascinating. "And Mummy's eyes!"
"What should we name our little princess, love?" Roland asked his queen. Maria thought for a moment.
"Dania. I want to name her Dania." Maria smiled at her daughter.
"Dania…" Roland said. "A beautiful name just like her. Where did you hear it from?"
"When I went to the mainland, I saw a mother give birth to a beautiful baby and she named her Dania." Maria explained to her husband. "Ever since then, I've always loved the name." Roland nodded in understanding. The little family just stared at their new addition.
"What…?" Dania whispered to herself. She couldn't believe it. Before she could say anything, the next scene was displayed. Maria was again holding a little bundle with Roland by her side. Robert looked about ten years old and Dania looked about five.
"Another boy…" Roland sighed. The family was in a hospital room. Maria had tears in her eyes.
"He looks just like you…" Roland just looked at the baby.
"I don't think so." Maria just giggled. Her husband could be so blind at times.
"Look at him Roland, just look at him." Maria said. "He has your soft blonde hair and those gorgeous eyes of yours; he's a spitting image of you!" Roland laughed and kissed both his wife and baby. Robert walked closer to them, carrying Dania, and looked at the baby.
"Mummy, you still will love me right?" Dania asked. Maria giggled and patted the spot next to her on the bed, indicating to Robert to place her there.
"How could I not love you?" Maria said to her baby girl. "You're my first girl, you'll always be my baby girl." Maria kissed the top of her head and Dania looked at her new baby brother. Robert smiled.
"I finally have a brother…" he sighed. Being an only boy for ten years had been lonely, and Robert longed to have a brother to hang out with. Roland smiled and nodded. "What are you going to name him?" Maria looked at her husband and nodded.
"We are naming him, James." Dania giggled and nodded in agreement and Robert just gazed at his younger brother.
"James…that's perfect."
The image faded once again, giving the royals a chance to look at each other. No words could be exchanged for what they had just seen. The next image began to illuminate on the screen. This time Robert looked about twenty years old, Dania looked fifteen years old and James, and image of Roland, looked ten years old. The Queen held a golden bundle in her hands and her husband was beside her.
"Our family is complete." Maria said as she looked at her darling baby girl. As James grew older, the couple missed the intimacy they had with their babies so they decided to have one last child together. The baby girl had sparkling sapphire eyes and soft honey brown hair. She was an image of Clarion.
"It's a Maria the second!" Roland joked. Maria laughed with him. She then saw her three children walk in their direction, each were carrying a bouquet of flower's for their mother. Dania walked t her first and gave Maria a kiss on her cheek.
"Congratulations Mum!" She exclaimed. She looked down at her new sister. "I can't believe I actually have a sister!" She said. Robert and James walked over to see the little bundle of joy. The baby smiled up at them. Robert leaned in and gave his mother a kiss and so did James.
"Wow, Mum she looks just like you!" James said. Robert nodded in agreement.
"What's her name?" Robert asked. Maria just smiled.
"Clarion." Maria replied simply as tears of joy welled in her eyes. Roland wrapped an arm around his wife's waist. Maria smiled up at her husband as baby Clarion smiled up at her parents. It was at that moment Roland new his life was perfect. The family gathered around the fourth and last child of the family. Dania held Clarion and cradled her while the boys were on other side of her. The parents stood back and watched in pure pride.
The images all faded, allowing the news to sink in. The four royals just stared at each other. None them had believed what they saw. Was it possible that they were all related by blood and flesh?
"So…we are all…" Dania trailed off, but the others nodded.
"Which means we all share the same…" Robert trailed off, but again received nods.
"I can't believe, we are all-" James was interrupted by Clarion.
"Related." Clarion breathed. "So you are all me older siblings…there has to be some kind of mistake…"
"Wait…how come we don't remember anything, that is if this all is true." Robert said. "I think I would remember having two sisters and a brother." Before anyone could answer, the screen began to light up and once again something unexpected came up. There was a label that said 'four years later' and then a newspaper article filled the screen.
It was an old newspaper with a headline saying 'The royal family of Neverland is Missing!' Then a reporter came into view and began to speak to his audience.
"Outbreak in the Neverland Center, when it turns out that the royal couple along with their four children are missing. The family disappeared only days after their youngest daughter, Princess Clarion's, fourth birthday. Which has caused an up roar of shock across the area. Several search parties have been looking for the past week, but with the bad weather condition lately, they have found nothing. It seems as though that the royals vanished into thin air. More on this breaking story as is develops."
The screen began to show four arrival ceremonies of the four monarchs and a label saying 'the day the royals went missing, four new royal were born.' Each monarch recognized his or her arrival day ceremony. No one knew what to say as they watch the flashing images from their birth to the present day. They turned and looked at the ghostly creature who was behind them. It nodded and the screen and diamond disappeared.
"This doesn't make any sense…" Robert said utterly perplexed. "How could we be missing and here at the same time?" Everyone sighed.
""We aren't." Clarion said. "We and the royal family on Neverland are the same person." Everybody was speechless at the news. How could none of them remember any of this? The video only showed the so much and it didn't answer all their questions. They looked at one another and couldn't help but smile as their wings glowed. Maybe this was true. Maybe this wasn't so bad. They had each other, and that was that. They all turned to Grace and smiled, silently thanking her for something they all couldn't explain. Dania went over and hugged her now known younger sister. Clarion hugged back as Robert threw an arm over James's shoulders.
Nobody would've guessed that A King or Queens past could be a Prince or Princess's Future…
