Filed to story: The Lycan Queen Story (Nora and Helios)
Melinda POV,
Ugh all of this is so messed up. My sister is even more crazy than before. Perhaps it’s because she never had a magic core herself or perhaps it’s because she is just crazy. I don’t get it. We have never been close to each other, Maya and me. But people often compared us. Maya was a good girl, she did everything that people asked her to do while I stayed in her shadow.
I helped her overcome magical troubles so no one would suspect that my mom had a powerless witch for a daughter. didn’t mind staying out of sight, people thought I was shy just because I didn’t say anything.
But then Maya and I turned 16 and Maya moved out and she was gone for four years when she suddenly came back with a newborn baby girl in her arms. She was devastated, told us that she almost killed her daughter to get her magical core and that she wanted help.
I took Mia and raised her as my own daughter while mom took Maya into some sort of self help thing. It is a very closed thing and those who don’t know they don’t need to know either.
Mia was a gifted child but I could see that she was very much like Maya except Mia’s magical core was strong. Her magic was a dark color so I started to suspect that Maya had done something stu pid while being pregnant.
Perhaps she thought she had discovered her magical core and borrowed magic from Mia when she was s still inside her mothers womb. It’s pretty disgusting and sad to think about. Maya’s daughter gave her energy and magic and then when she was born and Maya became depraved enough that she considered killing her own daughter just to get that little flare of magic back.
I taught Mia to never hold anything back, no secrets and to always tell us how she felt and if there were any difficulties. She often complained that I was boring, I didn’t take her to parties and such stuff that children at her age would go to but I guess I never was that kind of girl to start with.
I tried to explain to her that I didn’t like that and that she would need some friends to discover things with so I met some of the other witches that had children around Mia’s age. and Mia got herself three best friends in a matter of 10 minutes.
Mia used to go over to them and sometimes they would come over to us but as Mia came up in her teens the interest for boys started and she had a clear goal. She told us that she had seen him on the castle walls and she had felt him attractive but he never looked at her.
I thought it was a childish crush on one of the guards so T chuckled and told her to try harder. A few weeks later one of the castle guards knocked on our door and he told me to go to the castle with him.
At the castle I was furious, Mia’s childish crush was the prince. Helios, She had tried to make contact with him but he didn’t care for her and she wanted to make him see her so hard that the spell she sent him went a bit wrong.
The spell clearly said “you will see none other than me” and then the spell took effect and blinded the prince It was a petty spell and I forced her down on her knees while I took away the spell.
Her punishment from the king was lenient, she wasn’t allowed to speak for a month and she wasn’t allowed near the castle for another month at that. Then she met prince Ares when he had shifted and ran through the forest.
Then the real troubles started. Ares and Helios are identical twins and Mia fell in love again kind of. Ares took Helios place and the bad boy he was, he had no problem playing around with Mia. But one good thing came from Mia, she drove other girls away from the twins.
So here we stand now, Mia’s mother and my crazy sister are on her way to start a war between her and the kingdom. But I suspect that she has some alliances with another kingdom and this kingdom has a traitor or two.
This Tristan boy that mom was suspicious of, his father was not a banned prince, more like a pl ayboy prince. He knocked Tristan’s mother up and left her later on, bas tar d. This is the fun part now, he came from the same kingdom that Nora’s grandparents did, the blaze kingdom.
Tristan and Nora are cousins on his fathers side. I wonder what she will think of that later on. I don’t think he is a traitor though, it’s impossible for him to lie and he can spot a lie from a mile away.
So while I was talking with the king and mother I watched Tristan walking toward the back garden but turned around and looked pale and nauseous. I walked up to him and touched his shoulder to heal him before he threw up.
“Thanks” he said but still he looked pale.
“Don’t like blood?” I ask and he shakes his head.
“Nope, I even have a hard time with my lycan when he is hunting” Tristan says and shivers.
“Go take a hot shower and if you want I can make some calming tea?” I say to him and he nods.
“Oh I would like to try your tea but please not the same tea as the one you made during the oath” he laughs and I snicker as well
“No, I promise,” I say and smile. I watch him walk away towards the castle and then I turn towards my mother who looks concerned.
“I should head back to Mia, she isn’t doing well, come visit your niece soon, Melinda.” mom say and I frown at her
“She is my daughter, mom. I raised her” I say and glared a bit at her.
“I know but technically” Mom begins to say but she doesn’t finish the sentence when she sees my face.
I watch as my mom disappears in the sun and I turn to speak with the king when I feel it. Maya’s magic and I look up at the castle with a tilt of my head. I look at the king and notice that he is mindlinking someone now.
“We need to go now. Helios thinks that there’s something wrong in Ares’ room. His lycan is warning him from going inside. But Tristan is there with him now but I would like it if you came along with me” he says and I nod.
I was going to find Ares tonight to perform the spell by linking his mind to Nora’s anyway. We walk rather fast through the castle and towards Ares’ room but I stop the king as I feel my sister’s magic. It is strong here.
“Magic” I whisper to the king and he nods.
But as we stand in the doorway and look inside the room we are shocked at the scene itself. Ares has shifted and is attacking a bleeding Helios that lays on the floor so I send out my magic to stop Ares from hurting his brother even more and I fling him into the wall while I throw myself onto the floor next to Helios.
*******************
Helios POV
Well this was fun, I guess. Melinda said that her sister got into Ares’ mind and played around in there so Ares thought it was okay to kill me but his lycan was rational as he recognized me.
Ares lycan recognized me and he gave me shallow wounds over my chest, a lot of blood was spilled of course. But it was for show, he had hoped that Ares would realize what he was doing if he saw me bleeding on the floor.
Dad came and helped me along with Melinda but what was surprising was Tristan. We thought he was a traitor at first but he can’t be. He saved me from Ares and he told me the truth that Maya had contacted him but for some reason he couldn’t be controlled. He explained it like her magic was ping pong balls, they just went off of him.
The tournament went on so the other guys had something to do. My wounds healed overnight and I will soon go into a fight against Linus. He has courage to challenge me but I know that he wants to protect Nora and he wants to show that he is worthy of the future queen’s warriors.
But I think Nora will find it frustrating since she can probably even beat me in a fight if it comes down to it. Sigh, I really want to fight against her, to see who of us are stronger.
Ares is confined down in the dungeons where no magic can take him over. He woke up this morning and complained about a headache and when he remembered he was furious.
Maya had played Nora’s part in his mind and manipulated him.
So he said he wanted to be in the dungeon for the time being, to repent for what he did to me but I told him that I was angry and I demanded an apology. But not for me but for Nora. Then I told Melinda to link them today so he could apologize.
“Helios and Linus”. Your turn, come down to the arena” uncle Dave called and I happily got up and down in the arena.
ARES POV
I was manipulated, me?! Gosh, I hate that I can be so weak.
“You are not weak Ares” Nora say and I look at her
Now I can clearly spot the differences between them. Our Nora has much gentler eyes and her voice is nicer.
“It feels like that right now.” I say and look at her.
“I get it”. But you wanted to meet me so much that you let your heart guide you instead of your lycan. And that is okay too, sometimes.” Nora say and I stare at her
How can she be so calm in this situation? I almost killed my brother.
*Like I would let that happen, idiot* my lycan growls at me.
