"I had just turned twenty and my father was the Duke of Asturias" Miranda looks at the fireplace. Memories take over her mind. "I married Roland not long after. Queen Maria was trying to restore the people faith in the monarchy" Miranda goes over to what is now Fitzwilliam desk. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRUuj4dBtg

"You can only do so much to keep a sinking ship afloat" Fitzwilliam despite having been furious with his mother earlier is now just feeling sympathy. He thinks of how hard it must have been for her to leave her entire life behind. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CW4FjLFTR

The bright light of the morning sun shines through her bedroom curtains. Her maid Sabrina comes in smiling ear to ear. The best part of Sabrina day is waking up Arabella.

         Sabrina helps her get ready in less than fifteen minutes. A simple blue dress with a high waist and a long  blue muslin skirt.

Scanning the room she doesn't see Theo, Kate or Georgina. Her stomach sinks and it's like it's weighted down. "Please sit" Miranda gestures to the sofa in the middle of the room. Arabella wishes that there was good news. The stern faces that are reflecting back at her well, her hope dwindles. "We know of your birth parents" Miranda breaks the silence338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oDImfwZUI

No one dare meets her eyes, all of them look either right at the celing or to the floor. Anger is coursing through her but you wouldn't know that unless you knew her. The even tempered breathing, the tightness in her voice and the clench of her jaw. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYAEdEDOYD

"We knew when we took you in. Roland and I were waiting for the Queens permission" this was the wrong thing to say to Arabella. "All the questions and all the secrets" Arabella was stalking closer and her shoulder were raised like a pouncing huntress. She stops and her heart drops and it's as if she was pushed into a cold river. "Queen.. my birth mother is the Queen of Avalon" Ara whispers and her legs feel as if they will give out. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3rqdsFFKG

Ara snaps her head in the direction of Prince Christopher. "You're my brother" Arabella says it more as a question than a statements. "Just like Theo and Kate is as your sister" Ara feels like a fool, shr didn't even think of her two other supposed siblings. "Do they know?" Ara needs to know the truth, after twenty years she deserves to know. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0i2JTJfVz

She really wish she knew what to think or how to react. Shaking her head she stands up and folds the blanket. Ara walks to her room and calls for her maid Sue. "Can I help you, your highness?" Ara asks her to make a warm bath and a table. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC3P1AieJG

Ara wakes up in the middle of a nice garden. Roses, violets, and so many other flowers are in bloom. Their floral scents and the warmth of the sun on her skin. The odd thing is there are no birds singing, it's completely quite. What she does notice is a standing mirror in the middle of the field. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvuqKKL6Lh

It all seems quite normal when she sees her reflection. Her skin seemed kissed by the sun and her eyes were like an emerald. Arabella checks and face were heart shaped.  Taking a loom down at her clothes she sees herself in her night gown. There are two people behind her, mother and father. "Daddy, Mama" She throws her arms around them both. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8VuGSE8b0

She pulls back and she sees not love but anger and disgusting. Where love should be its more like cold hard ice. Instinctively she takes a step back. "You're not my parents"By looks they seem excalty like them but they mean her harm. She knows no good parent would ever wish their child harm. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsX5W8rUEN

"You are not worthy to know the truth" her mama usually loving face now looks as if she had smelled something foul. Her father.. her amazing father. On the other hand her father wouldn't even bother looking at her. "You are no daughter of mine" he said and it broke her heart. At heart she was always a daddy's girl. 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxxfzhhUA

"It's not true" a man's voice speaks behind her and she turns to see an older man. He looks about ten years her senior and their is steam behind him.

He has sun kissed skin and blonde beautiful hair which compliment his diamond blue eyes. The crinkle in his forehead and his five o'clock shadow are signs he isn't as young as he once had been. "They are just what you most fear" He tells her and she shoots out her hand. "Wait" as he goes to grab him, "Don't leave me, please". She can't help but think she knows him. "I can't" he sighs and gives her a sad smile, "You will meet me soon". 338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAItwWdzvIZ
