Chapter 10 (Krista) I knew people were probably wondering why we were having a coronation in the middle of all this turmoil. But it was necessary. Once I was spiritually acknowledged as the real Queen, and not just a consort, I would have the power needed to vanquish Evangeline. The "consummation", would be taken care of tonight, when my husband and I would sleep in the Great Tower of kingdom's Chapel of Pure Magic. It was where Queen Isabelle had spent the eve of her coronation. We were accompanied to the Tower by Synthia, Ava, Sam, and Gemma. Then, after a few words of encouragement, they departed. I was very nervous. What if I

Chapter 9 (Thomas) Her parents were incredibly worried, and didn't think a forty year old prophecy should cause their youngest daughter to go face-to-face with Evangeline. Having just been reunited with their long-missing daughter, they did not want to risk losing another one. The acquisition of another daughter had not changed anything. Synthia and Ava were also against it, but she was insistent. She needed to do this. So, together we formulated a plan. The plan was simple. While Evangeline might pretend not to notice Krista, she was actually the one she most needed to face.  Krista didn't know much about fighting, so to fix the mat

Chapter 8 (Krista) I was happy to have both my sisters with me. Synthia and Ava were impossible to tell apart still, and the name issue was mind boggling. But the family circle was finally complete, and all we really needed was to find Evangeline's weakness. It seemed she had none. My husband was also again hard to figure out. He was again ignoring me and he had not even touched me. I didn't know what to do about it. We hid out with my family, though we knew we'd be caught sooner or later. After everyone went to bed, I lay awake wondering. Then, I heard tapping at my door. I curled up, fearing it was Evangeline. But then, the door

Chapter 7 (Real Synthia) I had been through enough all my life. I had been cursed to dwell inside my own body, while a witch's spirit had possessed it. There were times when I feared I would die and leave my body entirely to this vicious creature. But no more. I had decided to finally take action. Even though we were en route to the de Lancrets', no doubt to do some horrid deed, I couldn't allow myself to remain under her control. Seizing all the internal strength I had, I cast out the evil. But I would realize only a bit later that that was a mistake. For this specter would now be able to possess another. (Isabelle) I was sittin

Chapter 6 (Krista) This was definitely a shock for everyone. Synthia, who had been my safe haven my entire life, was a princess. She was the long-missing Princess Ava. That meant she couldn't be just my sister. She was technically next in line for the throne. "Just because I've finally found out who I really am doesn't mean anything has to change", said Synthia. "I am Princess Ava, but I have a different life. And Krista, as you and Thomas may have a child one day, I'll be less important." I was happy to hear this. And so were our parents. It was definitely going to be odd thinking of my sister as Princess Ava, or even just Ava. I bel

Chapter 5 (Krista) "I think you're right", Gemma said that morning. Thomas had told her all about the possibility Synthia was Princess Ava. "I'd bet every last penny I have that it is so. And asking her perhaps may trigger some memories." So, after thanking both Isabelle and Gemma for allowing us to stay the night, and thanking Jacob for taking good care of our horses, we set off again. We headed this time through the village and toward Tremaine Manor. "Oh, goodness!" my mother exclaimed with relief when she saw us at the door. "I worried Evangeline had got you. Sterling had come this morning, just to say that you two were missing".

Chapter 4 (Isabelle) I had just put my grandmother to bed. She happened not only to be the only one in my family still alive besides my widowed half-sister Clarissa and her children, and my brother Sam, but she was one of the only ones alive today who had been untouched by Evangeline. She was once Gemma Tremaine, step-grandaunt of King Thomas. But just then, as I sat in the parlor, there was a knock at the manor door. For a moment, I thought of Evangeline. I wondered if she had finally decided to stop ignoring my family and begin wiping it out. "Isabelle?" said a voice from outside. "It's me, Krista! King Thomas and I need somewhere

Chapter 3 (Thomas) I didn't know if I could trust her, but as she was my wife, it was important that I tried to abandon all my distrust. I could see how different she was from Patricia. "I don't think we need to consummate our marriage as yet", I said, suddenly feeling very embarrassed. She nodded. She seemed relieved. But we were still required to share the bed. She lay on one side and I lay on the other. "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we'd be married", she said shyly. I didn't know what else to say after this. But she continued, "I wonder if Synthia really is your sister?" "It would be wonderful to find Ava again
