Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy the previously chapter of "Things I almost remember". Anyway I don't own them and they are belong to Disney except my OC's.
And so, the next day, Deila was sketching the people that died in the cellar. It wasn't a first time she sketch, when she was eleven, she sketch a picture of her in a Russia fancy outfit, a palace, a music box, a strange two peoples, and other she have sketch from her dreams.
"What you drawing?" She heard a voice, she turn around and saw Valdimire, "Oh!" said Delia. "Oh dear, where my manner, hi, I'm Valdimire, daughter of Valdimir and Sophie." Valdimire smile as she and Delia shake hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Delia, I was adopted by King Adam and Queen Belle back then." Delia replied as Valdimire sit next to her.
"Anyway, as I said," she said as she look at her sketch, "what you drawing?"
"Oh! This? I don't know, I sketch from my dream," Delia answer her question. She told Valdimire everything that had happened in her dream; she was ten year old girl in her dream, being put in the weird cellar, a two adult who is wearing a fancy outfit fit for the royal, a man try to calm her down and how he call her Delilah, a group of servants and maids, all of their faces are blurry, a group of soldiers came in and telling them that she and the other are being sentenced to death, they shots them, she hear their screams, their terrors and see their blood, she was later speaking Russia, and all of the soldiers suddenly shot her to death.
"Oh dear! How horrible! Why did they shot them and you?" Vladimire ask. "I wish I could but I don't know, I can't remember anything that happen, I just want to know who I am whether or not I belong to a family, a real family." She said.
"May I?" Vladimire holding out her hand to see her sketch, Delia nodded as she hand it to her. Valdimire then flip to the beginning.
The first sketch show a man and a woman wearing a cloth that's fit for a royalit. Another show a little girl dancing with a music box in her hand. She flip even mores, a old woman in a dress who look like Empress Marie, a portrait of a Romanov family, a Man in the left stood proudly, a woman on the right smile with her teeth showing as she have her hand around a little girl shoulder, and a little girl was sitting down in a chair. And finally, she sketch a royal family, a groups of servants and maids being shot to death as a group of soldiers shot them with a gun.
"I just sketch them in my dream, and show it to my therapist, Jimmy Cricket, which it will be tomorrow." Deila said as Valdimire hand her a sketch book to her. She said goodbye to Vladimire as Vladimire goodbye to her back. But she notice a necklace in her neck. "Hey! What's that in your neck?" She ask.
"Oh this? I don't know, I just wore it ever since I could remember. It read "Together In Auradon"." Deila said a she show it to Vladimire. "You know, back then, I have a friend name Princess Delilah Romanov when we're young. We use to play all the time, we sometimes tripped the servants and played pranks on her tutors. And she would climb trees and refuse to come down. Once, during a snowball fight at the family's Polish estate, Delia rolled a rock into a snowball and threw it at to the another's kid, knocking him to the ground. She love to draw and paint sometimes, she enjoyed playing the guitar, she like anything like sewing, watching a movies, a door to chat on the phone, read or just lie in bed." Valdimire said as she remembers everything about Delilah. "And has a great interest in photography, she's just a normal girl, and a future Tsaritsa of Russia."
"On her ten birthday, I wasn't able to go because I had a cold. I wanted to go to celebrate her birthday but I can't but, on the night, a dark shadow had descended upon the house of the Romanovs. His name was Rasputin. He was a fraud; power-mad and dangerous. We thought he was gone forever, but we're wrong. He have return but no one know how he was alive. He cast a curse, by not just any curse, a Romanov curse." Vladimire said.
"A Romanov curse? What's that?" Delia question her.
"Beat me, I don't know either." Valdimire replies. "Soon after, Rasputin's revolutionists charged through the palace gates and caused destruction upon the palace.
Delilah was with her great grandmother, Dowager Empress Marie, during the execution, calling out for her father, and Dimitri tells everyone to hurry. Everyone else was fleeing from the palace for their lives.
Deila leaves her great grandmother's side when she forgets the music box that she gave her on the night of her 10th birthday and she follows her. Delilah uns into her bedroom and grabs her music box, but are now trapped in the midst of the chaos.
Soon, a boy crawls through a secret passageway in Delilah's room and bravely risked his life to save them by sending them through the servant's quarters and out into safety, Rasputin's assisstant and sidekick alerts their escape to Rasputin. a boy insisted that they leave while they still could. Three of the invading Bolsheviks, Rasputin's revolutionists, burst the door open. One had a rifle and the other two searched the room, demanded to know where are they. He distracts them and is knocked unconscious and later shot to death by them.
After escaping the execution, Delilah and Marie are running on frozen ice and under a bridge. Rasputin watches them escape and jumps down and grabs Delilah's ankle as he is attempting to kill Delilah himself, but falls through the ice in the river and drowns, escaping one more.
Finally, when they reached the train station, there was a sea of people, boarding and ready to leave. Delilah and Marie eventually reach a moving train, but only Marie manages to get on as Delilah trips and roll tumbling down the hill and landed on the water. Forcing her grandmother to leave her behind and not see her again." Valdimire explain the story to her with a tear in her eyes.
"Whatever happen to her? Did somebody found her?" Delia said as Valdimire shook her head no. "I'm afraid not, we assumed that she's death."
"Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss." Delia said.
"Thank you," Vladimire thank her as Deila nodded her head and walk away.
"Delia come on! Let go!" Lonnie called to her best friend.
Delia and Lonnie all sat together to watch the game which the team had won. "I knew our team would win!" Lonnie shouted happiness.
Just then Ben went and grabbed the mic. "Excuse me everyone! There's something I want to say!" Ben announced, everyone looked at him.
"Give me an M!" Ben shouted, Delia smiled. "M!" Everyone shouted. "Give me an A!" Ben shouted again. "A!" The crowed shouted out.
"Give me an L!" Ben shouted again. "L!" Everyone shouted out. "What's that spell?" Ben asked them. "MAL!" Everyone shouted back.
"I love you Mal, did I mention that?" Ben asked her, Doug started up the band and they played a really upbeat and lively song.
Delia just spilt her drink and it ruin Audrey hair. "My hair! Look what you done! My beautiful hair is now ruin!" Audrey exclaimed. "You could just dry it off with a towel or you just too lazy to do it." Delia said it as Audrey huff and turn away. "How can Sleeping Beauty and prince Phillip have one daughter and acting like she's better than anyone?"
"Beat me, guess someone had give her a gift of being spoiled princess." Lonnie said as Delia nodded her head agree and continue drinking.
By the end of the song Ben was now facing Mal. "I love you Mal, did I mention that?" Ben asked Mal, just then Audrey took the mic. "Chad's my boyfriend now!" Audrey announced.
And then Delia took the mic from Audrey. "Guess what! No one care!" Delia said, she really didn't like the spoiled girl.
"Mal, will you go to the coronation with me?" Ben asked Mal, she looked around. "YES!" Mal answered him. "She said yes!" Ben shouted in happiness, he then left with the team.
As everyone left the field Delia and Lonnie talked. Just then, Jay walk over to the girls. "Hey Jay, you were great, congrats on the game." Delia told him. "Thank." Jay thank her. "Anyway, I was wondering if you would join me for a picnic for lunch with me to celebrate your victory."
"Really!? Where?" Jay ask her, wanted to know.
"You will see!" Delia giggle.
Then she walked away practically skipping to prepare. Okay, so maybe this haze on her brain isn't such a bad thing-it got her date with the most interesting boy she have ever known after all...
She went to her and Lonnie dorm to pick up the picnic basket (She still have it from when her adopted parents last had lunch with her and Ben on school grounds) and the two helmets for her scooter and then went the kitchen to get the food. She packed most of the things that are easily snacked on or already prepared; cheeses, strawberries, breads, and leftover pastries from breakfast…She thankfully had time to get to the spot and set up the picnic and make it back on time to pick up Jay.
At exactly 12:30 She knocked on the boys' door. While she was expecting Jay, She wasn't expecting the vision that greeted her. Dressed in a favor red and black leather clothing and muted tones. She could only think of one reply.
"For the first time I understand the difference between handsome and charm." He brushed off the comment with a slight chuckle. "I hope you like bikes." She handed him the helmet and walked with her to the scooter that she had parked outside the dorm.
The ride to the lake was silent, Jay enjoying the scenery and Delia trying to focus on driving and not crashing the bike because his arms were around him. When they got there, they notice another scooter.
"Um who scooter is that?" Jay ask. "Oh it my adopted older brother scooter. We both have got a scooter on Christmas when we're thirteen." Delia replied as they got off and started walking on the bridge to the old temple ruins a Jay started talking.
"Tell me something about yourself that you've never told anyone."
"Umm, my middle name…is Bertha." Okay so that was on him, He shouldn't have started that serious. He just rolled with it.
"Bertha?" He asked in a teasing tone.
"Yeah, just back then, my doctor said that I had amnesia and all my memories were gone forever, so they name me Delia and then adopted me, I want to know who my parents are and where I come from. The only thing is this necklace," she said as she held the necklace as Jay look at it.
"Woah, that's a cool necklace."
"I know, but I feel like this is a key to my answer."
When they got close enough, they saw the old temple ruins next to the Enchanted Lake was so wonderful, She don't think she will ever forget it. And she also saw Ben and Mal was there too having a picnic, She laughed as she wave a little, they just standing there until she gave Jay a light push to get her moving.
They sat for a while just eating with Ben and Mal, but it was when Jay was eating a jelly doughnut that delia decided to speak again.
"Is this your first time?"
"We don't really date much on the island, it's more like…gang activity," Mal answered after she finished chewing.
"She meant, is this your first time eating a jelly doughnut?" Ben left the question way to vague.
"Is it bad?" Jay asked looking a little sheepish and sucking the icing off of his thumb.
"You got a little…" Delia reached over to wipe the icing off his lip; he froze for a second. "Now go like this." Delia like his lips and he copied.
"It gone?" Delia replied positive. "You can't take me anywhere I guess," he said, laughing a little and looking down-embarrassed?
"I've done all the talking. Your turn. I really don't know that much about you." Delia leaned closer, "Tell me something."
"Well, I'm 17, I'm an only child, and I've only ever lived in one place," some part of Delia mind noticed he didn't want to continue.
"Me too, me, Jay, Evie, and Carlos are pretty much the only child of our parent. "
She laughed a little before she said that though still looked a little upset. And once again the haze in Delia brain made her only able to focus on that instead of the meaning behind what she said. "And now you're going to be king?" That was so obvious that even through the haze she could tell she wanted to change topics.
That sobered Ben a little bit. "Yeah, but a crown doesn't make you a king."
"Well it kind of does," Delia laughed again, but this time the conversation was enough for me to focus.
"No it-You're mother is Mistress of Evil," she had a small short smile at that, "and I have the poster parents for goodness," or so everyone says. "But we're not automatically like them. We get to choose who we want to be." Most of the time at least-Ben didn't get any choice about being king. "And right now I can look into your eyes and tell that both of you are not evil. I can see it." Okay, enough with the heavy. She brought him here for a reason. "Let's go for a swim," Ben said while taking off his shirt, and completely forgetting that Delia didn't bring a bathing suit because she want have a picnic with Jay but didn't want to swim.
"What? Right now?"
"Yeah, right now."
"I think I'll just stay here."
"No no no no no, come on."
"I think I'll stay behind and try a strawberry, I've literally never tried a strawberry before." To prove her point she put one I her mouth. "Mmmm. MMMMMM"
"Don't eat all of them," Delia said laughing as Ben went to the rock to jump into the water.
"Okay!" Jay didn't really believe her, because she quickly ate two more.
Bdn got to the rock and climbed up ready to jump and he looked over at them and the three of them was watching him, he smiled and waved, Mal waved back then noticed his shorts.
"ARE THOSE LITTLE CROWNS ON YOUR SHORTS?!"
"MAYBE!" She was sort of right, it was the family crest (the royal symbol) that just happened to have crowns in the design.
"IT IS, THOSE ARE LITTLE CROWNS ON HIS SHORTS!"
Ben did a really ridiculous roar-what he normally do when he psyching myself up for something. Who knows, maybe a dip in the Enchanted Lake will clear up her thoughts-it's getting not being able to focus properly, and having no filter.
their laughter was the last thing he heard before he jumped in.
