My Knight & My Lady

Chapter 16: Harmonic Ruby

'Friday October 26th, 1980

Dear Diary:

Sorry it took me so long to write on you, I've had so much school work and I really didn't have enough time to myself, but now I do, I've finally finished all the school work, and all the house chores I can finally tell… well write the amazing stuff that happened during the past few weeks.

Yesterday I got a call from my older brother, it's been so long since I've heard from him, but he's ok, he might be coming home this spring. My birthday is just a few months away. Today I meet up with my friend Yuuki, she's like the sister I never had. We both go to the same school and all, but what was really cool about the past few weeks is that I keep bumping into this really cute prince, his name is Ho-Boe, but I can never seem to get him to notice me, but it's like Yuuki says "To get a guy to notice you, Ignore them as much as possible, cause then they'll come right after you" but I've been ignoring him these past few weeks but it really seems like his not interested, oh well his lost.

The other amazing thing that happened this week is that I got a job as a singer in one of the Harmonic Nebula's opera house; I get to sing in plays and stuff. Finally I get to have my work and talents recognize, but it's only part-time, I am going to Magix Alfea College…. Oh I almost forgot I got good grades this semester so my parents say that it was ok for me to go. Can you believe it? Me going to Alfea to learn more about my powers, and get my talents out there. I can't wait for next year; Alfea is going to be great. Got to go.

Sincerely,

-Matlin'

I closed my mom's diary and gave it to Riven, and turned back my attention to the girls.

"So why are you reading? You never read unless their schools work"

"Oh I found my mom's diary; her life seems pretty cool Stella"

"Ok whatever, back to the topic, next week were going shopping since my parents are getting back together again, so we need new dresses"

"So I'm guessing were leaving for Solaria next week?"

"Yes my darling musical friend… and guess who the Dj is?"

"Oh I don't know… could it be me?"

"Bingo!"

"Ok so I guess we better finish up the things we have to do in our homes and pack up for Friday"

"Good idea Bloom… as always"

"Ok so I'll guess I'll see you girls on Friday?"

"Friday it is"

I headed back to my room to get some rest since shopping with Stella really drains your energy. When I woke up, I saw Riven sitting on the other side of my bed waiting for me to wake up, he smiled at me once I opened my eyes, all I did was got up and greeted him with a peck on the lips.

"Good morning to you too princess"

"So what's the agenda for today?"

"Shopping with your friend Stella"

"You don't sound so excited about it… then again no one can be excited to shop with Stella"

"I guess so…"

"Hey… you ok?"

"Yeah I just…. I just need some fresh air… excuse me princess"

Ok that was so not like him… but I'll leave it be… for now…. In a mean time I'm getting to go shopping with Stella. I'm wearing shorts with a white Fox tank top and Nike shoes with my hair loose. Since I found some spare time I'll read my mom diary. So far her life is exactly what she told me when I was little. But this particular part of her story caught me off guard.

Dear Diary:

Today I had my biggest fight with my husband and on my daughter's 1st birthday all because he's the king of this real that still doesn't mean he can skip on his daughter's 1st birthday, the nerve of that man. At first I was hesitant but I decided that I needed to know what was more important that his own daughter's birthday so right after all the guests arrived I left Musa with my mother and I followed Ho-Boe to the undergrounds of the castle. I have no clue what this man is up too since no one has ever been down here for ages. It's been a long walk and tons of turns to take but ten he came to a dead end and he opened a wall. A wall? Can you believe it? The man doesn't have magic and he can open walls, before the wall made a full close I made my way to it.

I came upon a strange room, the kind that hold secret meetings to I hid myself on the top were no one could see me. More people started to arrive and took their seats. What shocked me the most is that my brother is a part of this. I stayed quite so I could hear the conversation.

"Did any one follow you?" asked an elder man

"No but why did you all called me and this most important day of my family's life?"

"Were sorry Ho-Boe but this is urgent, this can be very fatal to not only your kingdom but to your family as well"

"Well speak up because nothing can be more important than my nieces 1st birthday"

"Calm down Michael I'll explain everything as soon as everyone takes their seats… alright now that I have all of your attention I called up this important meeting do to the fact that the Harmonic Nebula is being threatened"

"By who?" asked my concern brother

"By an unknown assassin… he gave me this note to read it to all of you it is said

tell the king that if he does not hand over the Harmonic Ruby by tomorrow I'll shall see that his Wife, daughter and his kingdom will suffer I shall send all of my great assassins to slaughter his kingdom into bits, he has until sun set

-J.

I'm afraid we don't know anyone by the name that starts with a J"

"Well whoever it is if he or she wants the Ruby let 'em have it…. As long as my sister and my baby niece are safe"

"We can't give them the Ruby Michael, the Harmonic Ruby holds great power, if fallen into the wrong hands we shall all be doomed"

"Then what do we do bro-in-law?"

"I'll send Matlin and Musa to a safe place with you until things get settled I think I may be able to negotiate with this J person… as of for now prepare a speech for tomorrow I'll have to warn everyone about the situation. No one will get their hands on the Ruby nor on my family and kingdom. You are all dismissed; now please excuse me I have a birthday and an angry wife to attended to"

I managed to escape before he caught my glimpse, whoever this person is; I'm going to have a very close eye on my brother, husband and my baby girl. When I got back to Musa's birthday I saw that beautiful smile on both my mother's and my little girls face. I still can't believe that this is happening and especially now that Musa is just starting her life, her first steps, first words and curiosity. My brother and husband made it back and ran quickly towards Musa, laughing and playing with her.

Musa darling I know that you are reading this do to the fact that all of my writing stops here. So far that J person never showed up I think your father did a very good negotiation. My brother, your uncle he's living in the south part of the Harmonic Nebula I know that you might never hear about him do to the fact that your father and him never really got along. But I must tell you my darling Musa, you have to find my brother and stop J, I managed to find out about this person, turns out he's your father's cousin, Jackson, Darcy's father.

Read well my dear find my brother show him this last page of my diary, tell him to prepare you for yours and Darcy's battle, her mother was a great witch and you my dear have to be prepare, if she gets a hold of our kingdom, your home and the ruby there is no telling on what could happen. This mission requires great sacrifice some that might even hurt to do, like say leave those who you love behind. But promise me this; don't let anyone know about this, this is your mission and yours only. Your uncle lives in the south like I said in an isolated cabin in the woods, he might not recognize you at first but show him this diary and he'll know who you are. I'm counting on you my darling Musa to save your kingdom and put an end to this threat. Fill the empty pages with your thoughts and journeys, if you ran out of pages get a new one, I always wanted this to be tradition that I would start to see how far it will go, I hope you can make that dream of mines come true.

I wish you the best of luck my dear

With all the love and luck in the world

Your mother

-Matlin'

A single tear rolled down my check and Riven whipped it away.

"You ok princess?"

"Yeah it's just I never knew how much my mother loved me so much… what about you… are you ok?"

"Yeah I just got a letter from my farther, saying that Ally is a little sick I'm just worried about her"

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that, maybe I can find a teddy bear at one of the stores and give it to her, I was actually planning to visit her today anyways"

"Sounds like a plan and we should get going Stella just arrived and we have a long day"

Riven took my hand and escorted me out of my room, with my mom's diary in my hands of cores. I have to find a way to get to my uncle and find out more about this Ruby and well everything but I have to do it without Riven nor my friends knowing. This could be harder than I thought but my mom is counting on me and I can't let her down. My kingdom depends on it, they depend on me. Well I guess I could tell my girls that I'm going to visit a long lost uncle of mines, and that I'm staying with him for a while, but how do I keep Riven away? I mean he has to be with me 24/7 of everyday due to his final exam and the fact that were dating.

This could be tough.

Hello my readers how are you guys? I'm good and I'm oh so very sorry for taking so damn long to update this chapter, but I really didn't get any reviews for the last one so I kind of got bummed out and sad so I really didn't get much inspiration to update. But I decided that I should update anyways and I really do hope that I'll get at LEAT 1 review, because without the review I won't get that much inspiration to write my stuff plus I won't know what you guys think of the chapter, so yeah my thought was if you guys didn't review it meant that the chapter sucked so I kind of got sad and all but never mind that, tell me did you like this one? and do so please be honest, honesty is what I looked for even if it meant that you guys didn't like it… R&R please!
