Isabel The Lightning Princess - Chapter 18 Lightning.. No Doubt She Is

“Hmm” she sighs, closed her eyes and took in a deep breath then opened her eyes again.

“… “.

“Isabel” Jasper called to her as she just stared at them.

And the next thing they knew she started crying, feeling bad that she was hurt, although not knowing what really happened, Jasper moves in and hugged her.

“Shhh, its going to be okay Isabel, I’m here now” he said while patting her head gently.

“Mother and father… ” she started saying but he cuts her short.

“I know, she sent us here”.

She moves from his embrace, “she did? Why?”.

“To protect and assist you”.

“She told you guys about it?” She asked looking at Jasper and Catherine.

They both kept quiet and after a minute Jasper replied her.

“Our parents did”.

“Did you also know that my dreams were true and I was the baby and that they were visions of the past?”.

“Yes” he replied not being able to look her in the eyes.

“And you didn’t see it fit to tell me Jasper? I thought we were friends. What else don’t I know that I should know?”.

“Our parents didn’t want us telling you”.

“They told you guys and didn’t see it fit to tell me. What the heck is that?”.

“Isabel, they didn’t want you to use your powers”.

“Why?”.

“Then Claudius would have been able to sense it and found out where you were”.

“What else don’t I know about?”

“Well, we are all from Gandera and our parents were part of the guardians” Catherine said after a long pause.

“I guessed that much. Wait, if your parents are part of the guardians, meaning… ” she said looking at them with shocked expression.

“Yes, we all have powers and are the next guardians” Jasper said.

“Wait, wait, wait hold up” a male voice from the back called out.

It was Caspian, he got up with difficulty as he made his way to where they were.

“Hold on, lightning… no doubt she is the princess?”.

“And you are?” Jasper asked looking at the handsome fellow up and down.

“Caspian. You are children of the guardians?”.

“Yes, we are”.

“The guardians Lady Ariana, Lady Ariadna, Lord Gregory and Lord Jamie right?”.

“Yes, and you are?” Jasper asked him.

“We are children of the guardians, well some of us are. Myself, Jewel and Melia”.

Soon the others got up and went to meet them, “we are sorry princess” they all knelt down and bowed to her.

“Get up please. Don’t do that”.

They rise and look at her apologetically”.

‘No wonder we were no match for you” Jewel said.

“Where have you been all these years?”.

“Somewhere far from here”.

“That’s not important now… ”

“Not important? Do you hear yourself. Our kingdom has been in suffering since that mad man seized the throne, and the people’s only hope is for the princess to return and fulfill the prophecy and you say it is not important! “.

“Calm down Caspian, Jasper. What he meant was that, we need to find your parents. The princess is not ready yet”.

“Not ready? What have she been doing all these years?” He shouted in anger.

“… ”

**********

In the woods, Ariadna and Ariana have both taken care of the guards and hurried out of the forest.

“Where would the children be now?”Ariana asked Ariadna.

“Perhaps with Isabel, they should have found her by now”.

“I hope she is okay”.

“Come on Ari, Isabel is strong you know, she can handle and take care of herself. They’ve been training since”.

“The others trained their powers, Isabel never did”.

“Have faith in the princess Ariana. Queen Isabella knew what she was doing. Now let’s hurry, perhaps we can find the other guardians at our hideout”.

“Yes, it’s a good place to start. Let’s hurry, I hope they are there. Then how would we find the children when we have seen the guardians? “.

“Tracking spell”.

“But we do not have their belongings”.

“I took a strand from Catherine’s hair when I hugged her earlier on” she said with a smile.

“Brilliant Ariadna, you never cease to amaze me, good thing we can use that”.

With that they, dashed off and ran out of the woods.
