Snippet #2544362

((I've had this post ready for a while so I'll just post it))
Lucinda:
A dusty book lies on a beautifully crafted table. After wiping off the dust, it reveals the words "For Hexes Only" under it lies another copy of the book. They don't seem out of place in the house belonging to Hex royalty. Am I a hex? I sigh and open the book carefully, trying not to damage it. My hands reach for the necklace I always wear, it's just a habit. The necklace glows blue, too bright for my taste. I know it's the necklace of Hexadecimal. It's such an honor to be trusted with a part of Hexadecimal. It means nothing to me. It's just a necklace I must wear to honor my family or something idiotic like that. The book is definitely outdated, not much use for it now besides history.
Guess who made it!
I hear a voice say. It is not coming from anywhere, it's coming from inside of my head. It's happening again.
"I don't care. Who are you?" I respond, not caring who hears. They already think I'm insane.
That's pretty rude, Lucinda. Have you been taking your manners classes? I'm disappointed in you. Your dear mother would love for you to take your classes.
"Shut up!"
I realize that I had thrown the book across the room. There is only silence until Mother runs into the room.
"Lucinda, are you all right? I heard-"
"I'm fine."
Mother's frizzy, red hair is in an elegant bun. She wears a long pink gown to cover her legs, obviously. A crown finishes her regal look. She frowns at my silence and looks over at the book I threw.
"My mother helped write that book. She was a spy for the Mage nation."
"Why do you live here then?"
"The Mage nation is gone now. She's dead."
"Don't you have more family?"
"No"
I turn around, looking away from Mother.
"Where's Valentino?"
"In his room, you should be going to school now." Mother's blue eyes reveal her sadness.
I run up the staircase leading to Valentino's room.
"Are you ready for school?!" I yell at him.
"Yeah. The teacher will killus if we're late." My brother replies while going down the stairs. I follow him. School, the place where we try to be hexes. It may work, but for now I'm a Mage with a robotic arm. The disgraceful royalty of the Hex nation. The child of Fernando Waters, the legendary war prince, and his second wife, or as others like to call her, 'that bimbo that the prince married'. A half-breed not meant to be in such a high position of power. Not worth holding the fate of Hexadecimal. Valentino is more clueless, he barely notices all the rumors and insults. Ignorance is bliss I suppose
