The Lost Princesses- COMPLETED

N.o 7 'Happy Birthday' Part 2

Sophia P.O.V

Throughout the day the weirdest things kept happing and there was no way to explain it. she would think of something happening and the next it would happen and the object that used to be in front of her had vanished. None of this made sense.

"Hey are you ok?" Mira asks turning to stand partly in front of me halting the whirl wind of thoughts in the process

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Sophia asks making her way towards the front of school

"Because your locker and the front of school is in the opposite direction" she points out turning her body in the right direction "are you sure you, ok?" a concerned look flashes across her face.

"Yeah, I'm sure" Sophia says slowing her pace to look at Mira "it's just been a long 18th birthday that's all"

Grabbing the presents that she had received from people throughout the day, including one from Megan. She replaces them all with her books that she doesn't need.

"I got a present from Megan today" Sophia casually says as the make their way through the halls

"what?!"

"yeah and Alex stood up for me " a small blush covered her cheeks at the thought of him

"oooohhh she blushing, I think she has a crush-" Mira was stopped half way through by a whack around the head "Ow, why are you so violent child" rubbing the spot on the back of her head where she had been wacked

"Actually, I'm not a child anymore" Sophia says pushing the doors open with little force, stepping out allowing the rays of sun to shower them in warmth as they make their way down the path and out of the recently polished gates.

Cars of those who were trying to get home quickly whizzed by and the sound of the neighbourhood children playing outside filled the silence that you didn't know existed

"So, what did you get for your birthday?" Mira asks while trying to avoid the collision with a child

"I got a necklace" Sophia says her face turning into one of mild confusion "but they said there was more than one" she finishes shrugging her shoulder

" that's rare" Mira says

"Yeah, well it's my 18th" she replies while looking into the distance" whatever that's supposed to mean"
....

The sound of the lock turning echoed throughout the empty house.

"Mum I'm home" Sophia shouts as she steps foot into the premises. Mira following a few steps behind

"Mum?" The house isn't normally empty and definitely not this quite

Walking towards the kitchen, throwing her keys into the ceramic bowl with a few cracks that situated next to the exit and placed her bag down by the table leg

" Mum?"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" shouts filled out the silence. People jumping out of every hiding spot and the lights filling the room showing the birthday decorations that hang form the walls and ceilings

"Mum...." tears filled her eyes at the sight of all the people that crowed her kitchen "what's all this?" The words dripping worth shock and gratitude.

"Mum" I shout giggles filled the air "happy birthday baby" mum says running towards me lifting me up spinning me around

"Look at you, you're a big girl now" she says kissing me on the nose

"Happy birthday my little 5-year-old" Daddy comes closer giving me a kiss on my head

"Daddy" I say stretching my hands out wanting to picked up

"All these people have come to wish you a happy birthday, look at how many people are here" she says waving her hand at the people who are sat in the kitchen

"All of these people are here to wish the big girl a happy birthday, look at how many there are Blair" David says whilst tickling her slightly the garden crowded with people in fancy clothing

"Hey are you ok" mum says a little bit worried "if you don't like it, I can tell them to leave " he wide eyes never leaving the frozen statue of a person stood before her

Reaching her hand out to rest on her shoulders "mum its fine, thank you " a warm smile on her face

"Good cause there is way too much food in the kitchen that needs to be eaten" a smile returning to her face once more. She walks away through a narrow passage into the kitchen

Sophia stood in the little door way for a moment, her thoughts firing at a million per hour. Why did the name Blair sound so familiar but so distant at the same time? It was almost as if they were her memories but they weren't. Who the hell were these people? Different thoughts clouded her mind as she allows herself to be pulled into the crowd of people by Mira

...
Loud music filled the air as the people around danced like they didn't have a care in the world. The food that was piled high in the kitchen slowly decreased in size and the night went on, the sound of the door opening and closing as people left and came in to say a happy birthday to the birthday adult. However, the one person she wanted to be here still had yet to walk through the door.

"Looking for me?" The sound of a male behind her caused a spark of hope to ignite in her heart.

Turning around to see who it was, disappointment slowly seeped instead "oh. Hi Alex"

"Not happy to see me?" He says a smile hanging at the edge of his mouth.

"No, no " her voice came out defensive "you just weren't the person I was hoping to see" her eyes lingering toward the door once more

"I see, someone special?" He says looking to see if her facial expression changes at all

"No, well unless you count my dad as someone special" she says her gaze returning to his.

"Well, I got you this" he says reaching down into his pockets for a small box shaped present and handing it over to her "it's not the best but I thought you might like it" his gaze still studying her face to see if she like it

"Thank you" her hands wrapped around the box, her fingers grazing the weird shaped and coloured paper that has wrapped itself around the box. Carefully unwrapping the box, she pulls a bracelet out. It's was nothing extravagant just simple, so beautiful as almost as if nothing human made had made it.

"I-It's beautiful" the bracelet hung loosely from around her finger, even in the darkness the bracelet seemed to shimmer perfectly

"You want help putting it on?" He says pulling her out of the trance it seemed to put her in

"Uh? Oh yeah, yes please" carefully placing the bracelet into his palm.

Wrapping the bracelet around her wrist, it fit perfectly as if it was made specifically for her. "It looks really good on you" he says once the bracelet had sealed shut, the seam so perfect that you can't see where it ends and begins

"Thank you" Sophia says staring at him this time hoping to show him how much it actually meant to her

" you're welcome, now would you like to accompany me to a dance?" He says putting his hand out as an invitation.

"That would be nice, thank you" she says placing her hands in his as he pulls her into the make shift dance floor that is surprisingly empty. Just as they stepped foot on the dance floor a slow song came on signalling the nights nearly come to an end

Leaning in towards her ear "you also need to stop saying thanks you so much" blush rose up her neck onto her face "cause the pleasure is all mine" with that he wrapped his arms around her waist and they began to sway to the music.
