Chapter 1
~ Cleoâs Pov ~
Itâs 1771, and I am in my parentâs carriage on the way to meet my husband that I have been told I am going to marry. I know Iâm only 7 years old but I need to start thinking about my work as next monarch, as I am heir to the throne of the supernatural world. My Father is a vampire-werewolf and my Mother is a mermaid-angel.
The road starts to get bumpier as we fork to the left. I thought the journey was going to be a few hours. It has only been 45 minutes. I look to see that the driver has been swapped and two muscular men in black suits have just barged their way on to our carriage. My Father starts to fight these men with his powers, but they have silver and vervain coated gloves. I can smell it from here. That starts to weaken him as these men start to punch him in the stomach, making my father keel over in pain as my Mother starts weeping and shouting holding on to me tightly so that they donât take me away.
It starts to hurt her physically as well because they are mates and because it hurts her to see an innocent person die, as she is an angel. These men finish my Dad off with one final blow to the rib cage, stopping his faded panting and killing him. The men smile an evil toothy grin and jump off the carriage. My Mother has passes out with the pain and I donât know where then men have gone.
I feel all of the royal power start to form in my body. A strong sensation begins to explode inside me and I feel high and mighty. Powers start to run through my veins and a new side to me begins to grow. I know what this means. It means that I am now Queen of all supernatural. A mark burns on my shoulder and back. I know that I now bare the royal crown tattoo. The pain in unbearable but I will not pass out. I need to be strong for my former King and Queen, my Father and Mother.
I smell burning. I smell fire. The carriage is on fire! I run out as quickly as possible, taking my Motherâs purse and dodge all of the flames in the process. A loud âbangâ is heard. I knew that it was the carriage blowing up. I was pushed to the ground by the blast it made. I fall and smack my head on the hard stones and as I feel myself slip away, darkness clouds up my vision.
~ 9 years later ~
It is 11:59 on the 30th July, 1780 and Iâm nearly 16. Iâm with my parents and family. We start to count down to midnight. 5â¦4â¦3â¦2â¦1⦠I feel my bones start to crack as I fall to the floor, palms sweating and throat sore from screaming so loud. I look up to my parents as they look down to me with shock and horror written all over their faces. I welcome the darkness with open arms as I pass out.
I look towards my parents in the carriage. I know that these are my real parents. I can see the resemblance. I walk into the forest I now remember being taken away from. My fake parents kidnapped me and somehow erased my memory. Who are they?
I feel myself being smacked in the face as I wake up and see my fake parents. They shout out profanities and about how scared they were and that I was out for a day. Apparently my skin started to glow and they thought it was witchcraft! They thought I was a witchâ¦
I shout back about how they werenât my parents and that shut them up. I got up, packed up all of my stuff and started to run. Run away from all of this mess. I ran and ran till I knew that they wouldnât find me.
I swore to myself that I would find whoever killed my parents.
~ The present day (2014) ~
As I woke up, I felt that I needed to go on a run. My wings are all squashed and my wolf is in distress and getting restless. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a girl with brunette hair, full lips, cute button nose, big hazel eyes and nice curves in all the right places. She has decent sized breasts and is slightly tanned. Thatâs me. Cleo.
I put on a tank top and short shorts. When shifting between forms, you tear all your clothes off and I donât want to waste any good clothes. I put on my ring that allows me to be human. Yes, Iâm not human. I am a werewolf-vampire-angel-mermaid hybrid. So far I am the only one of my species that I know of, and Iâm 250 years old. I look 18 though, thanks to all of my creatures aging slowly. My ring is silver and has a âCâ welded on to the front of it.
Anyways, I walk out to my garden and go into the woods. I thank myself for getting a house near the woods. It helps when you really need to go on a run. I find a clearing on the forest floor and let my wolf take over. I feel myself start to shake and burn up as I am pushed to the back of my head as my wolf makes it to the front. My wolf is called Camilla and she has pure blonde fur with gold eyes which is very rare. I go for a run and then shift into my angel. She is called Abbie and she has pure white wings with gold tips and gold eyes.
I fly around until I feel I need to go for a swim. I find a little pond in the woods and shifted into Melody, my mermaid. She has a royal blue scales that wrap around by breasts and lower back. She also has gold coloured eyes. All of my creatures hold a strong aura around them telling others that I am very powerful and my gold eyes mean that I am royalty.
I shift into my wolf once more and start to light jog (if thatâs what you would call it) back to my house. As I get to my house I start to realise that I will never actually get used to the size of it. It is more like a mansion. It has blue hand crafted windows that you can just see the baby pink curtains if you look hard enough. I have a large patio space where a wooden table and deck chair set are. A small pathway that leads to the front of the house is on the far left. A medium sized swimming pool and of course not forgetting the double glazed sliding doors that lead into the house.
I walk in and I find myself talking to Mary, my cook about breakfast. ââYou need to eat something my dear. You look a bit on the skinny side and your father would hate to see you look like this.ââ
ââI only went out for a run Mary. Donât worry.ââ I said. Mary is 406 but only looks 37 because she is a vampire. She acts like my big sister. She might be my cook but thatâs only because she works for me. She has got brown hair up to her shoulders and is always smiling. I do have other servants but we are all friends here. They all treat me like Iâm their daughter but that is because they are also my assigned guards. They were assigned by my Dad, the previous King. Everyone is a supernatural here.
I found everyone who works here when I was running away from my fake parents. I knew that they were supernaturals from their scent and they joined my on my quest.
I also found a diary from my real parents. That is all I found in my Motherâs purse. Everything else had been broken or damaged. Me being nosey, I read it. Thatâs how I know about everything in the supernatural world. I also found a section on my powersâ¦
