Ara wakes up from her nap they had left later in the night than orginally planned. She tired to stay awake best she could but fell asleep. It's only the jostling of the carrige that awoke her. "We're here" Miranda breaths out, she can feel the anxiety rise the closer they get. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA8zyHcx3b

She sits up with trepidation and looks out the window. She sees the sun beating down on floral and fauna. The trees are lush and green. All sorts of different sizes from the Needle Palm trees to the Black Mangrove tree. Beautiful trees often come with sharp thorns.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWY8PrXdhy

Ara sees the palms and salty sea air change the farther into the country they get. The salty sea air and beautiful scenery is replaced by humid air and urban buildings. She has never seen such amazing buildings. The walls are white make up the outside. The roof orange or pale pink tile on top and archway infront of the doors.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmqF8DCvR7

"We must be close" Ara breaths as she stretches out her body. They have all been stuck in the carriage for three hours. Everyone can feel their bones ache and their bodies sore. Miranda can't hold back a laugh, "The palace is right there". The palace comes around the bend slower than you would think. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGCUEzJjgW

The palace itself must be 600 feet at least (over 200 meters). The palace is made of badge and red bricks and detailed with a thousand designs or windows. It's so gorgeous she has never seen such a beautiful place before. Ara truly can't believe that her family lives here. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfZ73SlJuM

"Home sweet home" Chris joins her by the carrige window with a smile on his face. "Cute, you think they missed you" Chris laughs at Chris and leans back his arms behind his head. "Children, stop playing" Miranda calmy says but you can see a smile on her face. They all get out of the carrige and walk up the front entrance to the throne room. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxRlLCXohI

Ara looks up when she feels a hand on her shoulder. It's her mother, Maria looking down on at her. Her mother is wearing a beautiful skirt and bodice. The skirt itself is a deep royal blue layer with silver embroidery. The bodice and sleeves themselves match the skirt. Her hair is pinned up into a bun and minimal natural make up is put on Maria's face. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4VOLwS6f0

Arabella has never seen someone so beautiful and memorizing. "My baby girl" Maria's voice cracks and tears stream down her face. Maria wraps her arms tightly around Ara and warm embrace encompasses her. What should be a wonderful moment just feels awkward and wrong to Ara. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsJ6KrTrMR

Ara can't help but feel guilty, her mother has waited years to see her...Ara can't help but feel like it's taboo. A betrayal to her adoptive parents. She looks at her mother, her real mother Miranda. She blocks out the sound of Maria's sobs and sees melancholy on Miranda instead. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xvoc84RhI

It never came and her heart shatters more than she ever thought possible. It wasn't hard for her to sneak out of the throne room and through the hallway. Anger boils under her skin and she throws the door open in fury. Kate pacing up and down her bedroom floor. She is sure she has made a hole into the bear's rug. "Not fair is it?" A voice she regonizes echos in her room. Kate turns and sees her Aunt Leonor lean against the doorway. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE0ATSkVUe

"I hate her" Kate hisses as she pulls away and looks to her Auntie. "I know, my darling" Leonor pauses and continues "I have something to show you". Her Auntie goes over to the tapestry of her families offical portrait. She turns a particular part of the painting and opens up a passage way Kate has never seen before. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIclwd7sFc

Gina looks around her guest bedroom and it doesn't look completely different from her one back home. Yet it feels completely huge and lonely to her, she wished she roomed with her mother. Gina hates being alone in an unfamiliar place. She goes to her bed to try and get some sleep to no avail. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7NqGxopFd

She toss and turns trying to get comfortable but can't. Gina gets up and puts on her house coat. She wonders down to what she hopes is the kitchen. Honeslty the palace here is so big and it's so unfamiliar she isn't sure if she took the right turn. She quickly realizes how terrible of an idea this was and plans to go back to her room.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdp2n5fc3j

At a glance she catches something in the corner of her eye. She sees just the one person who could build her up and break her down. She sees Joshua sitting on top of the kitchen counter. Color drains from her face and isn't sure what to do. Just as she is about to leave he turns his head and stares her in the eyes. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb24bdz8Izj

It's almost like he knew she was there and knee she was starting. Niether one can take their eyes off the other. Josh acts fits as he jumps off where he sat. He confidently strides towards her. "What are you doing here?". 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRflTZtblBC

"Im here for the Avalorian Ball" Gina raises her head and faces him. He might have ran off but she won't. "At least im not a coward" Gina crosses her arms infront of her chest. Josh's face tightens in anger. "Im not a coward" is his only comeback. 353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dh3y5YyZf

"You left and gave me a letter" Gina scoffs as she waves the letter in the air. "You should have told me in person"-she pauses "You left without a word, I sat there wondering what I did wrong".
