I woke up to the sound of pots clanging in the kitchen, I go into the bathroom and change into some jeans and a white T, along with my signature red hoodie. I walk down the hall to see Diego making a pot of coffee in the kitchen, and Harry and Helen sitting at the dining table eating some toast.
"The pantry was packed, the food wasn't even spoiled." Diego said, handing me a mug. We take a seat opposite Harry and Helen.
"Wow. Weird." I responded, drinking my coffee, I never had coffee before and it tasted really black, but I liked it. Katie came out a few moments later in her PJs. She sat next to diego and poured herself some cereal.
"Me and Helen were reading something last night." Harry said, breaking the silence.
"Apparently, our parents made this house for us." He continued, I almost chocked on my drink.
"M-My p-p-parents?" I stammered, looking at Harry. He nodded, and held up a CD.
"Helen found this." He said, they turned and smiling at each other. Helen took the disc and flew into Diego's room, the 4 of us following close behind. I enter the room and fall down on a purple bean bag. Katie sat on Diego's lap on a red one across from me and Harry pulled a green one up, making a circle with the chairs. Helen carried a big cube-thing to the middle with both of her arms, setting it down with a 'thunk!'. She put the disc in a slot and pushed a few buttons, a blue screen appeared above it. 4 people appeared on the screen, they were all in blue, I guess that's the only color then. I shifted to see their faces, we all sat in awe as 3 girls and a man stared back. The shortest women with a LOT of hair stepped up to speak. Her puffy dress ruffling behind her.
"Harry and Helen." she started, the twins sat, already seeing the hologram before.
"I hope you are not as complete of a fool as your father and discover this video. I believe you also do not know your powers, so I'll get to the point. You two can shape shift. Good day." the woman finished without a smile, disappearing. Harry and Helen stared at each other in disbelief, still looking shocked even though they already watch the video. The next too step up was the man, he was tall and well built, his jeans and tee only defined it more. His bleach-blonde hair was neatly greased back, looking blue in the holagram.
"Diego." the man started, Diego jumped under Katie, he never seen his dad, only his mom. I could only imagine how he felt.
"I hope your mom has been treating you well, if your getting this I've probably died or am within the dark castle." He continued, a tear forming in his eyes. I saw Diego starting to do the same.
"Your mother was trying to protect you when she lied about your powers, and Kay. Yes, you can control things, but only non-living. So it is basically telekinesis. Also, I don't know how to put this, but Kay didn't die." Diego's dad continued, fidgeting under his own words.
"That's obvious." I say sarcastically. We all let out a small chuckle to ease the nervous tension. The man started again.
"I only wish I could see the great leader I knew you could become, I also pray to the gods that you found the prophecies. You must be the adult, you are the joy we all need in these times." He started again before vanishing, now only the 2 women were left. A tall, skinny women in a tight, short dress steeped forward. Her hair tumbling down to her shoulders as she did.
"My dear, sweet Katie." She started, giving a venomous smile. even Katie fidgeted under her gaze.
"You may not remember, but I like to keep things to the point. We are all dead." The five of us gasp at the harsh words, looking around. All unsure what to say.
"The war went on for some time, and we made this place for the five of you, and you know damn well the five I'm talking about. You all are the solely chosen by each of the 4 kingdoms to unite to unite them into one. I guess I have to tell you about you powers now." The lady continued with a huff. Katie just watched with a blank stare. None of us knew she had powers, though now I suppose we didn't think Harry and Helen did either.
"You can make fire with your hands, which I hope you kept moisturized." She continued with a small laugh. She disappeared, leaving only one left, tears swelled into my eyes, I didn't even care to stop them. Everyone else turned to me, thinking the same, she was my mom. She had the same red hoodie I had, along with some jeans. Her long hair and eyes matched mine almost freakishly, minus that it was all blue. I was disappeared terrified and overjoyed.
"Kay." she started, stepping forward.
"I have little time to tell you this, but it's a lot to take in. I hope your sitting down for this, but I need you to know why we built this place. You four are the protectors of the realm, the 4 kingdoms. Hearts is knowledge, diamond is joy and talent, club is beauty and prosperity, but then there is us. The kingdom of death and misery, which I'm sure you've experienced a lot of in these past years. I'm know you all know that we will be long dead, and you will all have to be here together before you can even see this place, but you have to fight. Kay, the forbidden race is run by a very, very bad man. One who used to be in the spade kingdom. The five of you all had parents that disappeared lived hear, we made it so only the five of you could see it when you are all together. Kay, your powers are not meant for destruction, but power. A power that can -." mom was about to say the thing I've been waiting for my whole life! And that damn tape ran out of time?! I jump up from the bean bag, my purple eyes wet with tears.
"No!" I cried.
"There has to be more!" Katie stated, jumping up with me, Harry and Helen looked down at the ground.
"Sorry Kay, but they ran out of time." Helen murmured before going back into Harry. I fell in front of the box thing and cried, Katie and Diego put their arms around me, Harry set on putting that horrid thing away.
"It's t-t-the first I-I've seen her i-i-in years." I once had stammered through sobs. I wasn't just crying because I missed her, it was the fact that I would never hear what she had to say. I would never forget her voice, the way she looked, the knowledge and sorrow held trapped behind those eyes. Or maybe it was the fact that all this pressure had just been laid on all our shoulders. I didn't have much time to think about it before I cried myself to sleep.
