Chapter Nineteen-Witchery

(A/N) Sooooo...I decided to have the chapter out early in the honor of my good friend wolfer565 's birthday, 1/5/19. This chapter is also pretty long, so I hope you like it (and vote on it)!

Jenna

I watch Miri chase after Carol and smiled. It's quite an entertaining sight, actually, especially with Miri waving her flip-flop. But soon, I lose sight of them, and I searched the room for something to keep me occupied.

Luckily, I spotted some stacks of books near a cot. At least, I'm pretty sure it's a cot. I've never seen one in my life before, as I had grown up in a palace and a high quality school ever since childhood.

I didn't know where to start reading, so I picked up a book with an interesting cover, and it read, "History of Royalty", with a peeling-off sticker that said, "New Edition!"

This better be interesting, I thought to myself as I opened the book to find four whole pages of the table of contents, all typed in tiny print.

The best idea I could ever have at the moment was pretty much all I could focus on right now.

I eagerly flipped the pages until I reached the chapter "Dragonheart". It had a family tree, similar to the one in my palace. The family tree went all the way down to a single portrait of a girl I knew too well, her golden hair piled into a fancy hair bun. The name placed below the picture read, "Jenna Daphne Dazzlegem".

I bit my bottom lip, realizing that anyone could simply flip to this page and recognize the princess of Dragonheart. And that anyone could be Carol...or Ben.

My eyes rose to the spot where my mother's mother's is, my grandmother. The offspring line splits into two, one obviously to my mother, and the other to...nothing. The piece of paper had been torn out.

I sighed, disappointed, but when I turned the page, my hope came back. A section's subtitle read, "Mute Princess: How and Why?".

Scanning the page, I quickly absorbed the information, but was in too much shock to make sense of it. I just kept on reading one part over and over. The words formed: "Princess Jenna Dazzlegem was known to be cursed, but the possibilities of who had cursed her is one too many. It was clear it was the work of magic, so witchery was banished. This involves chasing away all the witches, including Helen Soulblaze, Queen Penelope's sister. Perhaps she is the one who cursed Princess Jenna as a way of revenge? Or is it something more? Currently, Helen's whereabouts is unknown...".

I slammed the book shut, staggered back, and collapsed on the bed I was told to stay in. Okay, so maybe my mother did do something wrong, but what did I do? I was only like, one week old at that time? It couldn't be my own aunt, right? After all, witchery isn't that rare.

Yawning, I lay down on the mattress, but sleep didn't come. I stared at the ceiling. It feels strange to be in another place, but also comforting in a weird way.

Smiling, I shut my eyes.

My worries are for tomorrow.
