Chapter 1, continuation

There are about 5 police cars driving in the same direction. It was dark there so they used a flashlight of their car to see clearly at their way

The prince is in the police car and try to save the first princess at the kidnapping incident as fast as possible

The prince wearing trousers, leggings, cloaks and tunic. The tunic, being the outermost garment, was decorated with embroidery, gold lacing and other elements.

"Your highness, we're near to her highness" the police were driving as fast as he can

"Now make it faster!" Prince's voice was strong and sound like he's commanding

"Your highness?"

"What?"

The police showed a tablet to the prince.

At was a GPS of the princess to locate her

The prince holds the tablet looked at the red dots moving

"Her highness is moving, she's probably running"

"Then are we near now? She must be in trouble"

"Yes, your highness" police answered the question

Later on, the police saw the princess running. It seems that she walks upstairs

"Your highness, we're here!" Police observing the situation

All the police cars stopped and the police immediately go out to escort the princess and get her to the car

"Thank God, your highness is safe," one of the police hold the princess hand

"Thank you for coming to save me." The princess appreciate him with a smile on her face

"Your highness must a brave! You're able to go here without any fear with your eyes" the police praising her to make her calm

The princess smile awkwardly and trying not to answer that question.

The princess looked at her dress and she saw the dirt below to the flounce. She's embarrassed of what she saw

The princess looked around and saw a group of people with a large camera, and a girl who is holding a microphone, she's probably a news reporter.

The reporter walks to the police that guarding the princess "Can we have permission to talk to the princess?"

"No, her highness must be tired of what happened" the police was worried

The prince opened the police car door and walks to the princess.

"Are you okay?" the prince holds her hands

"Yeah, but I'm sad about what happened to my driver... I want to visit his family"

"Just rest easy, we are now going to investigate the situation," the prince replied in a hasty manner

"Yes, thank you, brother." the princess hug the prince "I will go now"

The princess walked into the car

"Bring her to the government building" the prince commanded to the police

"Yes, your highness" The five police followed his order

The princess is tired and wanted to sleep

One police entered where the princess is and he will drive her to the government building

The other 2 go to their car and follow where is the princess. Same as the other 2.

All the police go downstairs and they pick their flashlight to see the people that it seems they are wearing a gun

All the police pointed their gun to them

"This is the police!" the police yelled to them. "Show me your hands!!"

The police started to move slowly towards them

"Crap! We've seen!" about three of them got caught by the cop

"HANDS UP! HANDS IN THE AIR!!"

"Crap!" The guy in the middle tried to move his hand

The police immediately fired his gun to the middle in his leg.

"Aahhhw!"

"Hey! Try to move again or I will shoot you!"

Some police are still looking for someone who was involved in attempting to kidnap the 1st princess.

No one in there getting out of their houses. And also some of the houses there closed their lights off

The prince walks down the stairs "Is this them? Then bring them, and make sure they can't get out" the prince commanded with a hard toned voice

"Yes your highness" the police pick their handcuffs at their back

There are two police is pointing their gun, and others pick their handcuffs

The police hold their hands and put on the handcuffs

"Walk!" police pushed them

The guy looked on the prince with the angry face "Someday, we will win to your sin, you bitch" the guy that was arrested muttered

"Shut up and start walking you idiot!" the police burst out

The prince looks away to them and he saw the other police looking on the wall, seems like he's looking for someone inside the wall

"Did you find anything?" the prince asked

"No your highness. Clear here! All the available, go to the end of this place!" the police holding a radio to call his group

"Yes sir!" All the police start to find them

All the police are going at the end of the squatter's area, the others might be running there

All the people might still be scared because they hearing yelling at the outside.

"Your highness, please follow the princess. Let us do our work"

"Okay" he put his hand at his shoulder "I'm counting on you" the prince leave

...

Chapter 2

-Part 1-

The princess entered the government building because it was nearer to go there than to go to the castle.

She goes to the clinic room with some of the police escorting her, to check by the nurse if she was okay physically and mentally.

The nurse goes out to explain to the prince if the princess is okay.

"It seems her highness is okay your highness. But her highness might be tired, I guess what your highness do is make her highness rest for a moment here"

"Okay, if that's the best for her" the prince calm a bit

The princess is resting at the white clean bed and she recalls the moment that she was saved by the strange guy

"Why is he there in the first place? Is he one of them and change his mind to save me or it's just a coincidence that he was there then he heard a sound of a gun"

She put her arm at her eyes

"His face is like he saw a ghost, he's afraid, and yet, he grabs my hand" she looked in the window. "What is this feeling? My heart is pumping fast when I think of him. Is this love?" she pick a pillow and put it in her face "There is no way I would fall for him!"

-Part 2-

There is a big castle, at the outside, the castle was surrounded by the beautiful garden and flowers, also there is a glittering colorful lights when it's night

The prince is walking on the brick lane where if you keep walking, you will end up at the entrance door of the castle. There is also a small curved stairs that you can step three times. The prince is about to enter so the royal guards opened the huge door for him and he entered the castle.

As he entered, there is a huge red carpet in a circle shape, and the carpet is also going straight at the big stairs, the stairs have a passageway that you can go in the left side or right side, A big family painting at the end of the stair and you can look at it after you entered at the main door of the castle. He saw his young sister looks like waiting for someone, she is looking at the floor while her sorrowful face. She is on the side of the huge stairs, a red carpet with the golden handrail and newel. She is standing beside the newer

Her sister wearing a black dress with a vibrant red color, and a ball gown but it isn't like how the princess wear but it seems she just wants to wear something she want to dress

"Emma! Why your face look unhappy?" The Prince walked towards her and he grabs her hand

"I know what happened to my sister, pardon me for showing my rudeness in front of you"

"You don't need to speak politely to me, we're siblings. Anyway, your sister is resting at the government building. It's midnight now, you need to rest too"

"Okay brother, I will go to my bedroom now" she lifts her skirt, she crosses her legs, bows to his brother, and she left.

-Part 3-

"Ugh! It's already morning and I didn't even get a second of sleep" Aldrin's voice exhausted, he looks tired by judging his face

Aldrin is on the side of the bridge where the place called squatter area below it

Aldrin is so confused that he didn't know where he gets his power

He used to be a level 0. No psychic power or ability

A bit later, all his fatigue were gone

"What the hell just happened? I'm pretty tired lately, but now I feel like I'm fully awake!" He is confused about his own body "And how did I know my strange power works like that?"

He go to the stair and went down to the squatter's area

There are a lot of people looking at something, including middle-aged man and woman, a teenage and the child

"Get out! Get out!" One of the investigator trying to make a way to go outside

Aldrin heard it and he wants to see it, apparently, it's crowded here so he immediately climbs at the nearest house he saw.

Aldrin sees a people and they're wearing weird clothing that looks like white plastic, they're wearing a white mask. The two guys are carrying something like a bed and it's covered by a blue blanket that a man can fit on

Aldrin ignore all of they're carrying and focus to his main objective

He saw seven policemen investigating the casualties that Aldrin made. There are people surrounding the crime scene at maybe 20 feet far at the crime scene.

There are also a 5 ambulance not far from here and those who are lifting the bed like putting it at the back of the ambulance

*They don't have any idea that I'm the one who killed them. I need to control my anger or history would just repeat itself*

After finish looking at them, he climbs down and saw a man with a large camera and a woman holding a mic near him.

-Part 4-

At Emma's room, the 2nd princess is in her room this morning. Her room is so neat that you can only see a few things here, like a bed, nightstand, nig television, a table surrounding by a three sofa. Emma is sitting at the sofa and watching in a big television at her room in the castle, she's watching the news of the kidnapping of her sister, the 1st princess and the mysterious death of the 5 people at the squatter area

But Aldrin is in the back of the reporter and he is looking at the camera

"In this particular place in the squatter's area, the horrifying incident happened where 5 members were brutally murdered at 11 o'clock at night. One of the investigators said that they were not killed by a weapon, nor they were killed by an Esper, perhaps it will remain a mystery to them because they don't-" Emma turned off the television

"So this what's happened..." she stands up in a sofa and she stretches her arm

"Well, I'm going to call my sister"

She picked her phone at the table to call Elise.

Elise is going to her castle, but she still at her brand new luxury car at this moment, and also there is a royal guards following her. Elise's phone is ringing

"Oh- probably my sister" she opened her phone and answered the call

(..."Hi Emma, I'm okay right now, please don't worry, I'm on my way there now!"...)

"I will wait for your sister. Also, I want to talk about what really happened and also why and how the incident occurred" Emma's voice is serious

(..."I guess you're the one who's trembling even though it happened to me, haha!"...) Elise laughed

"Obviously!! Should I EXPLAIN IT?!" Emma annoyed at her sister

(..."Hahaha! Okay, okay. I, Elise Roosevelt will be keeping my life out on possible dangers"...)

"You can't promise that! There are NUMEROUS BAD GUYS out there"

(..."Well then, see you later"...)

"Yeahh... See you" Emma ends the call

-Part 5-

Aldrin walked away from the place where the homicide happened. And he is now walking at the side of the road and he already passed the bridge. There are also houses here but much different in the houses in the squatter area.

"I guess I just go to the library. I don't know what will I do."

He slipped his hand inside his pocket to see if he has any money left, unfortunately, he didn't feel any coins, instead he touched something and pulls it out of his pocket.

It was a ring! A ring with a gold and an expensive color blue stone on the top. His eye glimmered at the sight of it

It was a lovely looking ring which stands out more when he wears it in his ring finger in his left hand

"She put it in my pocket secretly huh... Well, I will take good care of it"

Since he doesn't have any money left, he suddenly remembers that he finally got his ability "Even that I don't know where I got my power, I already knew how this is work" He suddenly remember the beautiful girl he saw for a second "She's the girl who give me this power? If she gave me a power, does that mean I will have a responsibility in the near future? That's what I read in the stories on the library"

-Part 6-

Emma is resting at her bed

"Huh? What's that?"

Emma suddenly feels someone is running in the hallway. It seems that it is coming to her room

*Did I just feel the person is running towards my room?* Emma is being aware of her surroundings.

She sits at her bed and try to focus on the sound

For the sudden, someone quickly opened the door on Emma's room

"Eeeemmaaa!!" Elise jumped towards Emma while she still wearing a blue dress

"What the?! Sister!?" Emma was caught off guard when Elise suddenly jumped her

Elise fell into Emma and hugged her tightly

"Emma! I really miss you!!" Elise's voice sound agitation

"Ahh!" Emma choked when Elise hugged her really tight "GET OFF ME!" she releases a ton of ice crystals and a bunch of snow at her right hand to make Elise remove her grasped at Emma

"HMMMM!!!" screaming without her mouth open "It's so cold!! Why did you do that?!" with a puppy eyes "Aren't you glad to see me?"

"Of course I am happy to see you!" Emma is annoyed at her

"Then why did you do that?" Fake tears on her eyes "You already know that I hate ice and cold feeling!!!"

*Is she normal?* Emma observing Elise if she's okay "Then why did you HUG ME SO TIGHT that I couldn't even BREATH?!"

"Hehehe, I just miss you so much! I was gone for a week, and I haven't seen your face" Elise still happy and smiling

"Uhh, " Emma sigh, "Okay sister, why don't you TAKE A BATH FIRST before you do anything,"

"Okay, but what we're going to do after?" Elise asked

"LET'S DO what we always do!" A mocking smile was painted on Emma's face

"Okay!"

Elise leaves her sister's room and went on her own room

Emma looked at her hand and she didn't saw a ring that Elise asked before

Later on, Emma went to the balcony for some fresh air.

While her room is full of snow and crystal ice was hanging from the ceiling.

...

Emma Roosevelt, she is a sister of Prince Arthur, Prince Harvey and Princess Elise. She's 14 years old, and her psychic power is to manipulate ice and cold temperatures. Also she has a unique ability on her eyes, her eyes can see someone's aura.

There are different colors that represent other feelings. Sadness (Blue), Happiness (Yellow), Angry (Dark Red), Annoyed/Angry (Red), Fear (Violet), Disgust (Green), Courage (Orange), Excitement (Light blue), and Lie (Black). Those emotions are only she can recognize.

She loves wearing a dress with a combination of red and black, but there's a meaning behind it, because almost everyone's aura that is working in the castle is mostly color red and a bit black.

Also, the reason she's wearing red because she was always annoyed that they are not being their true self when she showed up to them, they are too loyal to her even that they hated her.

And black represent her lie because she was acting cruel to others and testing them if they are actually loyal. His brother named Harvey has the same ability to her, and Harvey said that the mystic eyes are not 100 percent accurate, so she learns how to judge people by its faces and reaction

-Magic side. Part 1-

An eerie place where the bloody war took place. The buildings were destroyed, the ceilings are falling apart and you can still hear blast sounds through the dilapidated walls.

There are a lot of terrifying creatures that roam around here especially at night.

A frightening monster that is covered with fur as hard as steel. It has a dark violet shade that shines through the moonlight. It has small sharp eyes but it has no nose. It has a huge mouth with its saliva continuously drooping and melts everything it touches. It's long purpled colored tongue is almost 3 meters that it's almost longer than its own body. Its teeth are sharp as knives that it can tear off ahead apart from a body. Its front legs are long but unlike the back legs which are small and kind look like legs of an ordinary animal.

Zombies were also roaming the night, scavenging around looking for the next flesh to tear apart. Red dragons were flying around ready to rip the head of their next victim.

On the other side, ten people wearing black robes. Some of them are holding a staff, and some of them don't hold something, they fight them back the monsters which is clearly trying to tear their flesh off. At their palm lies a symbol, a magic circle.

Amongst the people wearing black robes, one of them is wearing a white robe.

"Shit! Ma'am! We need to retreat now!" The wizards/mages are defending themselves

"This is your training! Make sure you make your own plan!" A woman wearing a white robe, and a silvered hair said

"Okay guys! Divide yourselves into two, then the second group will fall back" the other mages/witches command her teammates

All of them responded to her request

"You can become a great commander Nai, but makes sure your command is right"

"Yes ma'am!". Nai increased her courage by the white robe woman told

The white robe girl falls back and trusting her to lead her comrades.

"Front liners! You guys are responsible for making a mana shield!" Nail commanding them

The front liners pointed their palm to the target monster and cast a magic spell

"Mana Barrier"

They used mana barrier to prevent that monster attacking the other group who is casting group magic

"Others! cast the explosive magic"

Everyone believe at her leadership

"As a believer of God, I command thee to give us the strength to remove the evil spirits"

"Front liners! Run!!"

The wizards and witches disabled their mana barrier and run

"Destruction of Corruption!" the second group cast the magic

There was a red magic circle at their palm, and all the magic circle is being merged and turned into a bigger single magic circle. they're holding staff pointed at their target. Then suddenly there appears to be a huge red magic circle at the top of their target, and it released a ball of fire that looks like a sun because the more you stare at it the brighter it gets. Though you might get temporary blindness.

"Everyone! Cover your eyes!"

Everyone followed her command and covered their eyes using their arm

The ball of fire is aimed at their target.

"Use mana barrier to protect us from the explosion"

They all followed her command and chanted "Mana barrier"

A second later and it finally hit the monster and it exploded. The flesh and blood scattered on the ground

The explosion range is about seven meters and it sounded like a grenade explosion but much louder.

They are five meters away from their target "Use mana barrier!" Everyone cast a mana barrier. They would have taken fatal damage if it wasn't for the mana barrier.

The monster exploded right in front of them, and its insides were scattered everywhere including its eyeball that's still twitching.

Someone clapped three times

"Great teamwork guys! Your magic is starting to improve... You all did a great job! That's great news for you all! Keep working together!" The girl with a white robe trying to motivate all of them

They all stood straight, feet apart that's v-shaped, arms and hands are straight closed and they all said in unity "Yes ma'am!"

-Part 6-

In this place called the library, there are many bookshelves and different colors of the books cover.

There are also computers available to use by someone. Aldrin is using one of the computers there and searching for his ability. He is reading and trying to get more information on the internet about his power

"Let's see..."

*Users can create, shape and manipulate electricity. A form of energy resulting to the movement of charged particles (electron and proton), allowing one to have complete control over the electric fields and all charged carriers (Ions, Electrons, Protons, and Positrons), electronics, and electromagnetic forces* he read it in his minds

"I guess my power is this huh, the electric manipulation pretty much works like a real electricity huh? It's not that hard to learn then" Aldrin guessed to learn it quickly

After scrolling to the next page, he saw a chapter that contains then information on technokinesis. It means he can also manipulate technologies. But still, he doesn't know his own limitations unlike all the other espers that's aware of their own limits. They all know the duration of their powers, and if they use too much then it will drain their stamina thus they don't push themselves to the limit. But Aldrin knows nothing about this yet.

After reading it, he tried to control the computer with his newly found power...

He touches the system unit and starts using his power, testing it if he can control the computer without touching the keyboard or mouse.

He is looking at the monitor and the arrow moved "Oh. The arrow is moving! Let's type without actually typing!" Aldrin's eyes has the glittering excitement

He concentrated and random letters started popping up at the search engine.

"I guess it takes time to learn it.. phew"

-Part 7-

In the castle, Emma and Elise were in the back of the castle. The back of a castle has a huge empty space.

Emma moved her arm fast from below to the top, her hands movement was followed by icy spikes that straight to her target

Elise tries to dodge it but her foot was stuck by the ice Emma conjured

"The heck?!" Elise stumbled

Elise uses her electricity power to melt the ice spikes as quickly as she could

Emma ran towards the left side, poses a stance and created an icy soft path and curved it to enable her to slide upward

Emma points her hand at Elise and not a second later icy crystals were floating in mid-air at her hands and suddenly she shot her ice crystals to attack Elise

But Emma didn't notice the thermal barrier that Elise is conjuring to melt the ice in a short span of time

Emma fell but she created an icy pathway again and slides to support her body before it falls completely to the ground "You can finally learn something new?"

"Shut up..." She finally remove her feet in the ice. Elise's forehead is sparking with electricity, she puts her palm at her forehead and not a second later her body is releasing an electromagnetic field around her body. Her forehead seems it's the source of her power. She pointed her palm at Emma and a lightning released.

Eventually, Elise hits her but Emma has fast reflexes and she created a wall of thick ice before the lightning even hits her

"What?! It's so unfair!!!" Elise's mouth dropped when she saw what Emma created, spiky ice crystals filled the whole garden

Elise grinned

But she didn't know that Emma can teleport

Emma showed up at Elise's back, she made a stance and crystallized her feet to make sure she cannot move where she stands

"What?! You can do that?!" Elise felt cheated

"Of course I can, I might be stronger than you!" Emma released a small laugh as she tried to mock Elise

"Okay, okay. You won!" Elise pouted as she accepts Emma's victory

Emma remove all of her ice power that covered the whole surrounding with a snap of a finger

"That was a great fight!" Elise enjoyed their battle although she lost

"Me too, I've done a lot of experiments inside my room so now, YOU CAN'T ENTER because it's cold inside! Hahaha!" Emma laughed to annoy her

"That's unfair, I want to come in your room like before" Elize pouted

"Also, I want to be ALONE SOMETIMES, so it's a good idea!" She is trying to make an excuse.

"Anyway, let's eat lunch now, I'm kinda hungry after that tiring little fight,"

"Yeah! Let me ask my lady-in-waiting" Elise called her lady-in-waiting near to the door

"Your highness? Is your play done?" Elise's lady-in-waiting asked politely

"Yes, please ask Mr. Chef to cook us lunch," Elise replied

"Then, I will go now to your highness. Do you need an escort?" Elise's lady-in-waiting asked

"No need, I have my sister here." She smiled

And Elise's lady-in-waiting left

"Let's go now, Emma,"

"At the balcony?"

"Well yeah! Our favorite place to eat lunch."

And they ate on the large balcony at the top of the castle to enjoy the beautiful scenery of blue sky and the waves of the sea

"I'm wondering, why don't you have your ring?" Emma noticed

"Ohh you've noticed! It's a secret" said Elise not planning to tell Emma that she gave it away

"Ehhh! But that's expensive. It's made of genuine sapphire with pure gold on it. I hope you didn't GIVE it to anyone!" Emma replied in annoyance.

"Hehehe..." Elise laughed with her eyes trying to look away from Emma

-Magic side. Part 2-

*??? is running*

"Somebody get her!"

A wizard started chasing after her

"What happened??"

"She's a devil worshipper!"

"What?!"

??? Running as fast as her feet can, trying to escape her pursuers

She finds an exit

But their leader showed up at the exit

"Not so fast!" she pointed her hand and a fireball showed at her palm

It exploded after hitting her without spitting a single word.

"HAA!" She screamed

"Ma'am! She's a worshiper!"

"I know! I just waiting for this moment"
