Haline groaned as she finally came to and saw Theresa fending off Mary as she threw up defensives spells against her mother.

She could see that Mary had gained some of Emillia's powers as she was now stronger than before.

Quickly Haline looked around to find Emillia and saw her sitting on a rock with a man who wore a glowing crown and a glowing golden cape.

With shock, Haline recognized the man to be Prince Nathaniel of Townheights.

Breathing in and out quickly, she quickly got up and looked around for Lillian or Tyto and Clancy but saw no sign of them at all.

Panicking, she didn't know what to do until she heard a voice inside of her head say Haline, you have to calm down and help us out.

Instantly she recognized Tyto's voice inside of her head and sent a thought back asking Where are you, Clancy, and Lillian?

Lillian found us after Prince Nathaniel helped heal her ankle and..

Wait, Nathaniel helped heal Lillian's ankle? Haline asked with her mind.

Yah, replied Tyto with a hint of confusion voiced into his thought.

Nathaniel can't heal anyone cause he is a full-blooded human, like all the Royal Princes in his place before his time and ours, explained Haline, How is it possible that he could heal....Ooohhhh....

Oh what? Oh What?! asked Tyto getting annoyed with each second.

Nathaniel's father married a half fairy, part witch, and part human person, so that's why he healed Lillian's ankle because he is one-fourth fairy, one-fourth witch, and half human, Haline explained yet again as she felt more knowledge come to her by the minute.

Well that makes since but that's not the case because we are going to drive Mary over to where the cliff is and try to make her surrender until she gives up and gives Emillia back her powers, said Tyto as he explained the plan.

The only thing Haline had to do, was help make Emillia stronger and help get her back on her feet.

It would be difficult becuase, from what Haline could feel, Emillia has lost her sense to fight against her stepmother after losing almost all of her powers.

She was already confused and thought that since her powers were gone she can't fight against her stepmother.

Haline has to convince her that life isn't about using powers to fight your own battles, but they only help you in dangerous situations that involve your own death.

She learned that when she tried to get rid of her ex-boyfriend, who was a total jerk and was only using her for her powers, to send him far away from this kingdom.

But it didn't work, so she just kicked him out of her life, literally, saying that he was a total jerk and he will learn his lesson one day cause he won't be spoiled forever.

Chuckling to herself, Haline quickly and quietly walked over to where Emillia sat with Nathaniel on one knee next to her.

Waiting behind a tree to see if he would leave, she groaned inwardly to herself to see that Nathaniel would never leave Emillia's side because he was in love with her.

Just as Emillia was in love with him....

~~~

Emillia breathed in and out, feeling like she was hyperventalating and losing her mind all at once.

Trying to stand up, she only fell backwards onto the floor, only to be caught by a pair of arms that helped her back onto the rock and held an arm around her shoulder.

Focusing on her blurry vision, Emillia saw a man with brown hair, ivory skin, brown eyes, and handsome features.

Suddenly, she remebered that this man was Prince Nathaniel and he was standing right in front of her!!

"Why are you helping me when your a prince?" She asked quietly looking down at her ruined dress.

"You allow me to help you and I just don't feel like people treating me like royalty when I want to at least feel like a real person. You make me feel that way Emillia and I love it so much," explained Nathaniel as he stroked her right cheek with his left hand and kept his right arm around her shoulders to not make her fall.

His hand was warm and all Emillia wanted to do was lean into it and draw its warmth from him, but she looked down and said "You shouldn't be so close to a Workern like me. I'm meant to be a slave forever."

Tears escaped from her eyes and cascaded down her cheeks but were stopped as Nathaniel gently wiped them away with his thumb as the rest of his fingers brushed gently against her skin.

"You're not a Workern because you are a Whitress. A powerful, beautiful, pretty, Whitress who only discovered her powers at the age of two and wants to fight for justice against her own stepmother. All the more reason for me to be close to you because you are no mere slave. Just a young woman with a troubled life," replied Nathaniel as he closed the space between the both of them and was only inches apart from her face.

Drawing in a shaky breath, Emillia realised that this would be her first kiss, but what would she do?

Go with the flow my daughter, replied her mother's soft voice inside her mind.

Looking down, she felt Nathaniel's hand touch her chin and lift her head to be close to his.

He leaned in, while both of them closed their eyes as they kissed.

Emillia had never felt this way before about a boy because she was always hidden from them and she never even decided about falling in love with boys because there was no love in the world for her since boys were just snobby and spoiled.

But for Nathaniel, he was different.

He was into her and didn't even wanted to be treated like a Royal Prince or even a snobby one because he showed qualities of being a great king.

The only thing missing was his queen and he would have to marry someone better than her that has great qualities at being a great queen.

They pulled apart and looked into each other's eyes.

"Emillia, you are the love of my life and have the greatest qualities of being a queen and all I ask is that... began Nathaniel but was interrupted as Haline burst into their little scene saying "Emillia, Tyto came up with a new plan to help defeat Mary once and for all!"

Looking between the two of them, Emillia knew that she had to fight but what use was she without powers?

"Emillia, life isn't about using powers to help us create shortcuts or help us in situations that we want to have people gone. Our powers are to only help us in dangerous life or death situations. You may have only a fraction of your powers left, but you have a rebilious streak growing inside of you that make you very powerful. Fight for the lives of those you love, my daughter," said her mother as she appeared in spirit form where Haline stood.

Her mother wore a white angelic dress that covered her neck, arms, and legs all over and she had golden wings to indicate that she was an original Whitress of second generation.

She was a beautiful woman in every way with the elegance of her dress flowing around her and her hair in a single braid plated to her right side.

Smiling at her, her mother came over to her, took Emillia's right hand, and fed her the power of the Whitress.

Power surged through her as Nathaniel took her left hand, feeding his power into hers.

"Stop Nathaniel, you will lose your powers to help us win the war," gasped Emillia as more power overtook her.

Her mother then used her left hand, took Nathaniel's right hand, and fed her power into his while he fed his power into Emillia's.

Suddenly, light blue power floated all around them while white power shined around their forms protecting them from anyone who would try to stop them from winning the war.

Emillia felt something around her eyebirthmark glowing and also felt some pain coming with it as something was forming to go with her crescent moon birthmark.

Leaking out tears, she felt her power grow stronger while her stolen power floated around them to attack them and stop her from regaining strength.

Breathing in and out raggedly, she tried to keep thinking to herself I can do this, I can do this... but recently it has changed to I can't do this!! The pain is too much!!!

Crying on the inside and breathing more raggedly, Emillia heard the voice of her grandmother and mother combined saying Darling child, you can do this. It has always been your destiny my child.

How? The pain hurts and the power is overwhelming, Emillia thought back sadly with more tears leaking out.

Emillia Marina Wood, you can do this!! Don't let Mary rule your life forever young lady!!! she heard Haline's stern voice say in her mind.

I don't want her to rule my life but the power is too much, Emillia thought back as more power absorbed her.

That is why your mother is giving you another birthmark to control your powers. It was easy to do it when you were younger but since your older, it will hurt, explained Haline as Emillia heard her come closer and put her hand on her right shoulder to allow conversation to come more easily.

The pain became more and more hurtful as more of something began to form around her crescent moon birthmark.

Grounding her teeth together and pushing it down as her mother's spirit, her cousin, and the love of her life, gave their powers to form a spell to take Mary down once and for all.
