Chapter 2

Lost Siblings

Destiny's POV

The next morning I woke up before Blaze, which is unusual since he usually wakes up before me. For some reason I was really excited. Maybe it's a good thing? I could wake Blaze up with it? That would be hilarious!

My eyes turned yellow and I stuck my pointer finger out at Blaze's sleeping body. Soon enough a small bolt of electric shot out of my finger and onto Blaze. His eyes bolted open and he jumped up from his seat/bed. "What the f***!?" He cursed. I just fell onto my bed laughing my head off.

"You~laugh~ should have~giggle~ seen you face! It was hilarious!" I said hitting the bed with my fists. "Don't do that again! You fricken scared me!" He complained. "Oh don't be a baby! Somebody call the Wambulance!" I mocked him. He just smirked and picked me up, slinging me over his shoulder. "Put me down! Put me down or I'll roast some underwear!" I threatened.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Calm down I'll put you down just don't roast my underwear!"he said as he put me down. "Serves you right." I responded. We walked to the kitchen and he started rummaging through the fridge. "What are you looking for?" I asked as I plopped myself down on the counter.

"Eggs" "I'll call Marina and ask if she can bring some over." I said while he nodded his head 'yes'. then I walked out of the kitchen and back into my room where I saw my phone sitting on my bedside stand charging. I picked it up disconnecting it from the charger. I saw i had 5 missed calls, 5 voicemails, and 3 missed messages from and unknown number.

Whoa! I never realized I was so popular! Jk. I wonder who was calling and texting me. I'll check later. I dialed in Marina's number and it started ringing. RINNNNG! RINNNNG!

"Hello?"

"Hey it's me. Are you guys coming over soon?"

"Yeah why?"

"Cuz we're out of eggs. can you guys bring some over?"

"Yeah, see you soon bye."

The call ended and i turned off my phone. Wait! I want to know who was calling me! I was about to turn my phone back on but I saw this little picture in my head showing what was going to happen. blackmailing? Shifters? blackmailing me? Wtf! how did they get my phone number?! I need to tell Blaze right now... But first... I need to check if it's really them. I opened my phone and looked at the texts and voicemails. The texts read:

"Destiny? Where are you? I haven't seen you since I met you at the doctors office. I haven't gotten you pretty little face out of my head since then."

"Destiny! why haven't you text me back yet! I'm starting to get worried! I might just have to come look for you myself!"

"Have you been wondering where I got your phone number? I got it from your parents. Nice people aren't they? Hmm speaking of, you haven't come to rescue them have you? Why is that may I ask?"

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?! ARE YOU IGNORING ME ON PURPOSE? BECAUSE IF YOU ARE I AM MOST CERTAINLY NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT."

"I'm sorry for yelling. Can you forgive me? I'll give you a kiss that you'll actually enjoy. please? Text me back ok?"

Ok this is f***ing crazy! I am definitely not checking those voicemails. What a bipolar creep! I walked back into the kitchen with my phone in hand, and I noticed that Blaze wasn't in the kitchen anymore.

I looked around the room and he wasn't anywhere in sight. Shitshitshitshitshit! Oh my god. I walked around the room looking in every possible direction. Then all of the sudden-- "BOO!" "AHHHHH!" I yelled while falling to the floor and covering my head and huddling into a ball.

A tear dripped from my left eye as I closed it and the right. "Oh my god. Are you ok? I'm so sorry. I didn't think it would scare you that much." Said a familiar voice. I uncovered my head and rolled onto my back, then I peaked out of one eye. I saw that it was Blaze and I opened them with a sigh of relief.

"You scared the living s*** out of me!"

"It was supposed to be payback from this morning...."

"It's alright" I said slightly relived. "Here read this." I told him. He took my phone and read the 5 messages. "Shit. what the hell is wrong with this guy?" I lifted a finger and swirled it in a circular motion signaling 'coo coo' as in crazy.

At that moment we heard a knock at the door. "It's probably Marina and Thunder I'll--" "I'll get it" Blaze cut me off and strolled over towards the door. He opened it and saw Marina and Thunder carrying a carton of eggs which they handed over to Blaze. "thanks." He said "no problem." Thunder replied. "so, what have you 2 been up to?" Asked Marina. "Uhhh--" "Uhhh--"

"creepy stuff-texting" we both said at the same time.

"Here, just read it." I admitted and handed my phone to Thunder, who handed it to Marina, who then handed it back to me. "That's. so. fricken. creepy." Marina told me. "I know right?" "he definitely has a thing for you Des." I heard her say which made Blaze growl with annoy-ment.

I looked at him with kind eyes showing that I DID NOT LIKE him. He smiled back pleased. "I packed a picnic basket full of stuff too so that after we visit her grandma we can find a spot and have lunch." Thunder told us. "Oh great idea!" I said. "But first, we should eat breakfast." Blaze said holding up the eggs for everyone to see. I nodded in response.

*************************************

After breakfast...

*************************************

I was getting out of my pajamas and I to a plain grey tee with some skinny jeans. I went into the bathroom (in my room) and did the usual, teeth, hair, and makeup... Just kidding. No makeup.

I exited the bathroom and grabbed a red hoodie. I slipped on the hoodie and strolled out of my bedroom. I went over and knocked on the guys bathroom. Where Blaze was currently taking a shower. "Yeah?" He asked through the door. "You almost done?" I asked back. "Almost" he replied. I walked off and into the kitchen. I went over to the fridge and took the picnic basket out of it.

Then I sat it on the counter. And soon enough, Blaze came into the kitchen with black and red basketball shorts on, rubbing his head with a towel. "Where's your shirt?" I asked while packing a few extra things in the picnic basket.

"Well... I accidentally set it on fire, along with all my others..." He explained. I stared at him for a bit until I giggled. "You can borrow one from my brothers closet." I said while smiling at him. "His room is down the hall and to the left." I showed him by pointing.

He turned and then went down the hall, and to the left. Soon after he left the room my smile turned into a frown, as I thought about my brother, Clairence was his name. My hands covered my face as I quietly shed a tear. I miss you Clairence.

Blaze's POV

I walked down the hall following Destiny's directions to her brothers room. Who was her brother? I've never seen him in the castle before. Destiny never even told me she had a brother until now. Hmmm. As I entered his room, I noticed all the pictures he had hung on the wall.

There were ones of him and Destiny, and ones of him holding his element in the palm of his hand. But the strange thing was that he was holding both hands out, on hand was holding a leaf, signaling he was a resourcer, like his dad. But the other hand was covered up

By another picture.

I moved the picture just the slightest bit to peak at what else he was holding in his hand. But just as I was moving it, the door slowly opened, revealing a slightly worried Destiny standing by the doorway. "Are you alright in th--- oh. I see you've found my brothers picture wall. And what's this your looking at?" She said weakly reaching for the photo.

She unpinned it from the wall and took it in her hand. She whispered something that I could barely hear. "Clairence..." Then she broke out in tears. Holding the picture in one hand and wiping away tears that were streaming down her face with her other hand. I wrapped my hands around her body trying to calm her down. "It's ok. It's ok, I bet you miss him. You'll see him again soon won't you?" I asked soothingly. "No! I won't be able to see him again! He was killed by shifters! They kidnapped him and ended up killing him! They killed him right I front of my eyes! I watched my brother get murdered and it's all my fault!" She yelled while turning away from me.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." I apologized and looked down to the ground. But soon I felt hands around me, hugging me tightly, and sobbing into my bare stomach. Which was kind of awkward. I took the picture from her and looked at it, she let go of it and started looking too. "So your brother was a resourcer, and an icer? How is that possible? And why doesn't anyone know about your brother? You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." I said shooting questions at her.

"No, it's fine. It has to come out sometime. When I was 8 and my brother Clairence was 10, we went out to the park near our old house for a short stroll. Which was a terrible idea. Because seconds later we were shoved into sacks and taken to the shifters hideout. When we arrived we were tied up and sat in front of their leader, Fletcher Parker. They had found out about the one thing that we tried so hard to keep from the world, the thing that all the royal families passed down to their eldest son. Half of their powers. So my mom passed down half of her ice powers, and my dad passed down half of his nature powers. Thankfully the shifters didn't know who I was though. They just thought I was some little girlfriend he was taking on a midnight stroll. He wouldn't tell them what they wanted to hear, so Fletcher ripped out his heart." She paused for a moment to sob.

"And just as they were gonna do something to me, a bunch of guards and warriors burst through the wall and saved me. But unfortunately, Fletcher got away with some of his men, and, I lost my brother. The brother I would race down the halls at school even though we weren't supposed to be. The one who put bandages on my cuts and scratches, the one who bought me ice cream when I was feeling down. But no, he got killed, and I can't forget the look on his face as they reached in and ripped my brothers life source out. But a week later I got a phone call from an Unknown ID. Stupidly, I answered it, and found out it was Fletcher. He told me that he found out who I really was, and that he was gonna find me and take me away." She paused remembering.

******flash-back***Destiny's POV*****

I woke up the next morning and wiped the wetness off my face from crying, it's been a week since... You know what. And I can't stop thinking about him. Then I heard the familiar sound of my phone ringing. I picked it up and looked at who was calling.

It read Unknown. I answered it, hoping it would be something good. But it was the complete opposite. "Hello their sweet cheeks." "w-who is this?" I asked frightened. "It's Fletcher." i gasped from hearing his name."w-what d-do you w-want?" I stuttered. "I found out who you really are. Turns out your not really the princes girlfriend, and you were lucky to escape alive. But actually your are his little sister. And to be more precise, we know your the element princess. And being the element princess, brings death. To you and anyone else you love. But you probably figured that out seeing your brother die right before your eyes. Just remember little princess, that I'm coming for you, and I'm gonna catch you. And if you tell anyone that you had this phone call with me, I will kill you." He said evilly before hanging up. I stared blankly in awe. Finally taking in that I was in danger.

****end of flash back*****************

Blaze's POV

She continued her dramatic story. "And from that day, I have been completely frightened by the shifters. When Slate kidnapped me, yes I was scared, but then again, I was not scared out of my mind. But when it comes to these shifters, it feels like I could die just at the sight of them." She ended her story and buried her head into my still bare chest, sobbing only the slightest bit.
