I had thought that I would start Off by Listing off all the questions that Iv'e collected over the years but apparently mom had something else in mind.
Mom clears her throat " so A-autumn As you know we adopted you when you were a baby,we wanted to wait a little bit longer before we told you this but I think that you should know now."
What on earth could she be talking about " what do I need to know ?"
mamma gave a sympathetic look while still holding on to moms hand and said
"Who your parents are, and what that entails for you"
I had always kinda wanted to know who my parents are but I always figured that they were mere humans who weren't ready to have a child, like many others. Plus Ginny and Jess are my parents , and that has always been enough.
" do you remember that story we told you about the king and queen ?" Jess asked ?
" yes" Of course I do, I always asked to listen to it before bedtime, it was my favorite story.
" well we were Friends with them, in fact me and your mom worked as royal magicians( sort of like knights). They were very lovely people and they loved each other just as much as they loved their kingdom. As you know it was illegal for a child of both night and day to be born. "
" right yeah, I remember you telling me that, they had a baby and were never seen again" I said
Jess winces " hon they left because they didn't want to endanger their baby , they loved her more than anything, the queen even named her Luna because the baby was apart of her. She didn't want to have to leave her but they had no choice, they had to leave and it was to dangerous for them to take her with them. They knew the shadow men would come looking for them eventually. "
This made me sad " so they just left her by herself ?"
Jesse's eyes widened " no no, of course not. They Left her with their best Friends, because they knew that they would love her and take care of her. And they did. "
I'm still not sure why we are talking about this but its kinda cool knowing that my moms knew royalty. I have always been a fan of history. " why are you telling me all of this ?"
thats when mamma got off the bed, she walked into the closet. Two minutes later she walked in with A trunk that was red with gold detail.
" Instead of us telling you, It would be easier for us to show you. Can you give me one of your earrings ?" Says Mamma
I had earrings that were keys, Moms gave them to me on my sixteenth birthday. I had always cherished them because they were the only things that were left from my birth parents , And because I didn't Know much about them, it was nice to have something from them.
I handed her an earring.
She unlocked the chest with it, She slowly opened it up and did a reappearing spell. Mamma must have cloaked it to look like there wasn't anything in there just in case someone got in it. (probably me, I had been known to unintentionally find things I wasn't supposed to)
My breath hitched when I saw the contents of the chest. I reached forward and grabbed the first thing that I saw. I had seen plenty pictures of the king and queen before at my moms school, but this one was by far the best. It was the king and queen standing beside each other smiling, But the best part of it was that it wasn't a royal photo, it was one that you would find in a family album. Celeste looked so put together, she had dark brown eyes and black curly hair, she had her hair down. king Arthur stood beside her with an even bigger smile, he had tan skin, messy dirty blonde hair,and olive green eyes.
suddenly everything clicked.
Of course I look like the king , because He's my dad !!!! I mean its possible, why else would I feel such a connection to them. Not to mention that my moms were friends with them,the king and queen gave their baby up to their best friends, and my moms were their best friends. they called the baby Luna and thats exactly what river's parents called me.
" theirs no way.. Moms?"
They both looked up at me sadly" are Celeste and Arthur my mom and dad ?" I asked with a sad voice.
They both took a deep breath and at the same time said " yes "
Mamma scooted closer to me " We know its a lot but we figured now was the time to tell you , even though we planned to tell you on your birthday"
my birthday ? oh thats right thats in a couple days.
" But if they left to protect me, why haven't they come back? do they not want to see me again? I can protect myself now"
" of course not, who wouldn't want to see you ? we aren't really sure when they will be back, they never said , but they left you a birthday present that might explain it."
" can I have it early ? " I needed answers now
My moms looked at each other " what do you think Jess should we give it to here early ?"
she seemed skeptical but said " I guess so, just dont expect anything, we haven't opened it and have no idea what it is "
I hugged my moms " thank you guys so much , and just know that no matter what happens I will always love you and you will always be my moms"
after we hugged again and some tears were shed , Ginny handed me a small box with an envelope on top.
The note read:
Dear our sweat Luna , ...
" hey moms , If my real name is Luna then Why did you name me autumn "
Ginny spoke first " we wanted to make sure there was no risk of you finding it out, plus we just thought that your middle name suited you better. "
" so Autumn is my middle name?"
" yup" said Jess " hurry up and read the letter the suspense is killing me!!!!"
I laughed and read the following..
Dear Our sweet Luna,
We are deeply sorry that we had to leave, but sadly it was the only thing we could do to keep you safe. We want you to know that we love you more than you could Know, the moment we laid eyes on you we knew that you were all we could ask for and more. Since we aren't with you right now I'm Afraid that most of your questions are going to have to go unanswered. However, In this box you will find something that will answer quite a few of those questions. We hope to see you soon our little jahzara.
Love,
your mom and dad
I placed the letter on the ground and opened the box, Inside sat an amulet with a golden sun and moon which were connected together like a yin and yang. Inside the heart of the sun was a ruby.
The confusion must have been showing on my face because Mamma asked " what's wrong ?"
" nothing Mamma its just that the letter said that the gift would answer some of my questions but the necklace, although beautiful, doesn't tell me anything ?"
As Ginny was about to speak Mom started laughing " wow your mom was quite the clever one, always planning ahead and speaking in riddles"
"what are you talking about" I said quizzically
"ITS An Amulet!!!!" I dont know if she thought that would help me but it really didn't
" oh my gosh Autumn you went to school for magic for crying out loud, you live with magicians !!!!"
" ok well I'm sorry I dont remember, but I dont think I ever took magical memorabilia !!!." I nearly yelled.
" jeez your never gonna live that down huh, I'm sorry that there was no more room , there was surprisingly a lot of people in the class!!!"
"yeah I know " I sighed , " but seriously please explain the amulet thing "
Mom looked at me with look that said 'fine If I must'
" an amulet is an enchanted necklace, Most of the time they can only be used for a certain person, and since this was your birthday present Celeste probably spelled it to unlock on your birthday " ah that made sense.
" I guess that make sense but what do you mean by unlock "
"im not sure but Based on the energy I'm feeling from this its definitely spelled to a high degree , and spells that limit when someone can access something, take a lot of magic"
"im willing to bet that on your birthday it will either lead you to answers or give you answers " she sounded proud of herself until I said " so your telling me that my birth mom and dad left me with a necklace that MIGHT do something?!?!?"
"pretty much" mom said with a content look on her face.
" alright hon Me and your mom are gonna let you be so you can take a look at all your mother and father's stuff, we'll be in the living room"
she's always being considerate like that " thank you Mamma" she smiled and her and Jess left me to look at the trunk.
when I looked back at it I realized that there was actually quite a lot in there, dresses , crowns, and more pictures. I found two that I really liked , they showed my parents in magic form.(also their royal form).
Everyone that's magic has a magical form or two, though for some people they might look the same but they have glowing eyes or something.
needless to say my parents were powerful, very powerful, which leads me to my next question,
why dont I have magic ?
