allowed my mother to dress me in what she said was appropriate for our guest. She straightened my hair and dressed me in a black tank-top and a pair of stretch pants.
"I look like I'm about to attend a yoga session." I grumbled.
"Don't be difficult Leigha sweet heart. This is a new life for us. Please, try to be civil. I know you don't like to be forced into change but, this is a good transition."
"Mother, I think I've heard the word "transition” enough for one day." I grumbled.
"Ladies, she's here." Randy called from the bottom of the steps.
"Let's go." My mother chanted, pulling me out of my room.
In the living room, sat a young beautiful brown-haired girl. Alongside her, stood Prince Alexander. As the girl met my gaze, I smiled as the familiar face smiled back at me.
"I trust the two of you have met?" The Prince murmured.
"Hello Leigha." She crooned. Her beautiful voice was like silk.
"Mina." I murmured.
"Well, I didn't know the two of you knew each other." My mother chided, nudging my shoulder.
I sighed. "Yes, we attend Banks High together." Mina chanted. Mina rose from the sofa and approached me. I was stunned by her grace and her beauty. She held the most striking amber eyes. Her smile was perfect—too perfect for a human.
"Well, aren't you going to give me the grand tour?" She chanted.
"Umm, su-sure." I stuttered like an idiot.
"Leigha, Mina's going to be your etiquette tutor. She came highly recommended by Alex." Randy explained. Mina stared at Randy a bit bewildered by his casual use of Prince Alexander's name.
"Leigha, why don't you show Mina your room?" Randy suggested. I was ready to protest but, with one swift look into the Prince's chocolate eyes, I was suddenly leading the way up the steps to my room.
"This is where you rest?" She asked. I nodded and allowed her to enter ahead of me. She walked over to my bed and pulled the quilt up to her nose. A wide grin flew across her face as she inhaled the quilt.
"Just as I assumed." She chuckled.
"What?"
"Nothing of importance. It's just that my assumptions are confirmed.
"Oh." I murmured. She turned to me, appraising my appearance.
"You know, you look lovely in black. Did you know that?" She asked, fiddling her fingers through my long straightened hair.
"Thank you." I murmured.
"Your gratitude is unnecessary. You hold the beauty of a goddess."
"Now, let's see what you've been reading." She murmured, heading over to the junkie bookshelf. I had been meaning to shelve the books I had purchased a few days ago. She pulled the chronicles from the shelves and grinned.
"Fan of the first evil are we? Hmm." She murmured. Mina opened the book, and her slender fingers began to skim through the pages.
"You seem to have more of an interest in the love story behind the Chronicles. “You don't care for the history?" She asked. I stared at her, bewildered yet shocked.
"How—how did you know?" I asked. She held the book out to me.
"Your favorite chapters are muffled." She said as I took thick encyclopedia. She held they heavy book effortlessly in one hand, like a magazine. As she dropped it in mine, it felt like it weighed ten pounds.
"The love story is the best part of the book." I defended.
"Ah, why yes it is." She agreed, walking over to my computer desk.
"But the history is far more important." I chuckled this time.
"You speak like the Chronicles are real." I laughed. She stared at me blankly.
"Every Chronicle, fiction or not holds some truth. Remember that." She chided, turning over to the files of police reports. She picked up that latest file and examined it.
"You should be careful where you cite your interests Leigha." She warned, still examining the file.
"I've always had a niche for the unsolved mysteries." I joked, but she didn't laugh.
"Leigha, have you ever heard the saying "Curiosity killed the Cat"?" She asked.
"I believe I've heard it once or twice before." I answered, sitting down on the bed. She smiled, flashing her perfect white
