1 Chapter one. March 10 1658

Today is the day of my seventeenth birthday, the day I inherit the throne, the day my powers meet their max level. The day everything changes.

My lady maids Abigail and Amira woke me up at the first hour of daybreak just as they have done every morning since I was twelve, they were first assigned to me after my first two Clair and Vanessa died from the plague that occurred from when I was ten to thirteen, and ever since then they've been like my best friends. "My lady you must wake up you mustn't miss the big party your father has planned for your birthday." I heard Abigail tell me in an almost annoyed tone. " She won't wake up. Since her magic is getting to its highest level today, most of her energy will be at its lowest point since she's received her first power when she was three." I heard Amira say. I always hear them say these kinds of things, it's not like I'm offended because its true I always sleep in but mainly Abigail has been telling me since I'm going to be queen soon, I need to take more responsibilities like waking up on time to handle royal duties.

So instead of listening to them argue over weather I need my rest or need to get used to it I sit up and use my powers to take their voices I call it the silencer. Both of them try to greet me good morning but nothing comes out I laugh a little then give them their voices back. "Good morning my lady. " They say at the same time "Good morning, ladies, is my birthday gown picked out yet or were you two too busy arguing." I say trying to hold in my laughter "Yes my lady it is right here it still, needs to be altered a bit the v line is to revealing." Abigail says. She has always been so strict on these things but not today it's my birthday and I will wear what I want and how I want. "Let me try it on first then we'll see if it needs to be altered."

It was a gorgeous rose color that went perfectly with my brown complexion it was fitted around my curves and accentuated my hips and butt, it was flowy at my hips down but more of a corset on my torso area to really show off my hourglass figure, off the shoulders with long sleeves with gold details everywhere on the dress I could tell Amira designed it.

"I love it, no need for it to be altered." " But my lady what will the men think? I mean surly they woul-" Abigail says but I cut her off using the silencer. "They may think whatever they please. Now that is all I want to hear about the dress. Or I will take your voice permanently, am I understood" I say sternly, I gave her her voice back. I hate being mean to her but she needs to understand that I'm the queen now and what I say goes or there will be consequences. "Yes my lady" she says as if she still thinks she's right. Amira hops in breaking the tension. "Lets do your hair and jewelry" She uses her magic to pull up a chair for me to sit in. She takes out the string that has been holding my hair up, it falls is slightly messy ringlets. I love my curls so I almost always wear my hair down. Amira coats the hair comb in water and combs through my curls. I see her smiling through the mirror as she combs through my curls and they bounce back up. She always tells me how jealous she is of my curls because she has bone straight hair.

Thanks to my mother from Haiti and father from Jamaica I have light brown eyes, full lips, dimples, lushes curves, beautifully myelinated brown skin and beautiful bouncy curls. To be honest I'm a mirror's best friend and I'm not even the type of person to talk about themselves all the time. I may have a lot of powers but cockiness isn't one of them.

After Amira is finished with combing through my hair Abigail comes back and tells me my bath is ready so I go into the bath room and let Abigail undress me. I get into the tub then realize it's a little to warm for me so I move my fingers in a circular motion and use just a tiny bit of my heat power to heat up the tub, then Amira comes in with my lavender and jasmine scented bath soaps. I get so relaxed that after 5 minutes I nod off and fall asleep. When they are finished they wake me up and get me dressed for my birthday ball. When I am finished getting ready my cooking maid Lydia comes in with my breakfast of bananas, strawberries, blueberries, grapes and a glass of orange juice. I thank her then send her on her way. I eat my breakfast, clean my teeth, then head down to the ballroom for my party.
