Maylin *FINISHED*, Jaden Bieber [snow like ashes series txt] 📗

Prologue

In a dimension different from ours, Kole walks into the dinning room of the castle. It was decorated formally. The Dark Father and his beloved wife, the Dark Mother waited at the end of the table for him. He sits on the other end of the table.
"You needed me?" He asked them, making no eye contact.
"Kole," The Dark Father started, looking to his wife, then back to Kole. "about Maylin."
Kole winced to the name. He listened to him carefully.
"We need her here. She does not belong in the human world." Dark Father said. "She is very powerful and we need her to help us fight."
"I will not allow her to be in such a cruel place!" He yelled.
"Listen, Kole," The Dark Mother said softly, "now that Sapphire is dead, there is no longer a secret weapon. Violet is not strong enough. We need a mage."
"Why Maylin?" Kole asked through his teeth.
"She's the daughter of my princess, Kole. You can't protect her from the shadows. She needs to know who she really is."
"Also, she could find out about her powers and hurt her human family." Dark Mother added. "What if she finally grew her wings? Thoughs brainless humans don't know what a Raven Mocker is."
Like always, she had a point.
Kole sighed in defeat. He was nervous that Maylin would hate him. In fact, she will. Why wouldn't she hate him? He abandoned her. He watched her with her new family in secret. What kind of father did that?
"Sapphire would've wanted her to see where her real mother grew up."
Kole winced once again.
"Fine, but I stay with her at all times. My daughter will not be participating in any wars. You hear me?" He got up and stomped out of the room.

Chapter One

I woke up to the sound of a plate braking, shattering pieces all over the floor. I jumped out of bed. I ran to my bedroom door, quietly, meeting eyes with my sister, Lexie. Her room was right across from mine.
"What was that?" I whispered.
"Let's go check it out."
We snuck down the stairs.
"Gordan! Please! Stop!" I heard my mother cry. Her cry was fallowed by a SMACK!
We trembled as we ran into the kitchen. My father was drunk again. He always hurt my mother when he was like this. My mom lay on the floor, holding her right cheek.
"Daddy! Stop!" I said, running to my mother, protecting her from another slap.
"Maylin! Get out of the way!" Leslie yelled. "He'll hurt you!"
I frowned at my sister. She always thought I was a weakling. One day, I'll show her I'm not.
My father fixed his eyes on mine. I stuck my chin up in confidence as I stood in front of my mother with my arms out.
"Go to your room!" He yelled.
"No! You go to your room!" I pushed him back, making him take a step backwards.
He scowled at me and stomped out of the house.
I dropped to my knees tears started flowing out. This was my life.

I went to school that morning like usual. Since I was adopted, Leslie and I were the same age. We never left each others side.
Our best friend, Trey, ran to us. Lexie always said that Trey liked me more than a friend, but I just couldn't see it.
Lexie had emerald green eyes and curly dirty-blond hair that came up to her lower shoulders. She was a little over curvy and wasn't very popular with the boys. Trey, on the other hand, could get any girl he wanted. He had a nice, muscular body. He had sky blue eyes with a hint of violet and shaggy, blond hair that was flipped to the side.
Then there was me. I have big blue-green eyes that people say make me look cute. My golden brown hair came up to the small of my back. I had a thin, curvy body and very nice legs. If I really wanted a boyfriend, I would have one. Many guys have asked me out. Trey says it's not because of my looks, but the curve of my mouth. He loves the way my mouth looks for some strange reason.
"Hey, girls. What's shakin'?" He asked.
"Nothin' much. Had another incident last night." Leslie said.
One thing about Trey, he's very trust worthy and very reliable.
"Oh, I'm sorry, guys." He said in a soft tone.
"I'm used to it now." I told him.
"Maylin!" Lexie exclaimed. "How can you act like it's no big deal?!"
"I never said it wasn't a big deal. He needs help. Mama needs to wake up and smell the coffee to get him that help. We're too young. We're only in seventh grade, Lex."
"But still," She sighed.
Oh no. I almost forgot!
"I gotta get goin' guys!" I said, running into the school.
"Where are you goin', May?!" I heard Trey yell.
"Music room!" I yelled back.
I ran into the school and down the halls until I got to room 42. Ms. Kayne's room. She was our music teacher. She allowed me to play her piano in the morning since I was like a professional, as she would say.
I walked in to her smiling face.
"I was wondering when you were going to show up." She said.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I got held up."
"With what?"
"My bed." I joked, setting down my stuff. I walked over to the piano where she sat. I sat next to her. "Any request today?" I asked her.
"How about you pick today," she said, "Do a song you love."
"Ok."
I rested my fingers on the keys, then started playing "If I die young," by The Band Perry. It was my favorite song. I think its the best song I played on the piano, too.

****

I walked home with Lexie and Trey after school.
"It's Friday night. What do you guys want to do?" Trey asked us.
"Sleep," Lexie replied.
"We didn't get a good night sleep last night. Maybe tomorrow we can all hang out." I said, smiling at him.
"There's that wicked curvy mouth again," Trey grinned. I ended up blushing and covering my hand over my mouth.
"Shut up!" I said under my hand.

When we got to my house and said our good-byes, I saw my mother on the couch.
"Hi, Mama." I said, setting down my stuff.
"Hello, girls." She said as if nothing went wrong last night.
"Mama, I think we need to get Papa some help." Lexie said softly.
"Yes. I can't stand it anymore. It's tearing up our family, Mama" I said in confidence.
"I have it under control, girls." She said without eye contact. That just showed that she was lying.
I growled in frustration and ran up the stairs. I ran into my room and slammed my door, Locking it as well.
I hate me life!
I turned away from my door and to my bed where a man dressed in all black sat. I jumped and held my heart.
"You take forever to get home." The man said, calmly. He had a smile slapped onto his face.
"I'm sorry," I said sarcastically, "I didn't realized I was making the creepy man on my bed wait for me."
"Apology accepted."
"Uhm. Who are you again?"
"I'm Kole."
"Are you lost?"
"No. I came here to pick you up."
"W-why?!"
"Mm, funny story. Sit."
"No. I rather just slowly take out my cell and call 911." I wasn't going to call Lexie or Mama for help. I wanted to show them that I'm not a weakling.
"I'm your birth father, Maylin." He said. His eyes softened.
"M-my birth father?" He nodded. "You can't just take me after 13 years with a new family!"
"I didn't want to. I'm being forced."
"By who?!"
"Your grandparents."
This guy was totally bananas. No way was he my birth father.
"Well. I'll let you meet them." He said, getting up of my bed. I took a step back when I saw black, feathery wings coming from his back like an angel.
"W-Wings?!"
"Ah. You didn't grow yours yet." He said, calmly.
"K-Kole I think you should leave," I said, freaking out, "Like, now."
He used his right hand to open a portal.
"Ladies first." he gestured me to walk into the portal.
My eyes widened to the sight of a black whole in my bedroom floor. I looked inside of it.
"W-What is it?"
"A portal, silly. Come on."
He pushed me in. I screamed on the top of my lungs. As I fell, I closed my eyes tightly.
Was I going to die today? Is this all a dream?

Chapter 2

When I realized I wasn't falling anymore, I opened my eyes. I was on a bed. In a bedroom. It was formally decorate with blank colors like black, white, and gray. A very boring room indeed.
I got up and opened the bedroom door. Where did Kole go? I walked into a dark hallway light up with torches on the walls. This was an eerie place.
"Kole?" I whispered, tip toeing down the hall.
"What are you doing?" I heard a female voice behind me. I turned to a boy and a girl who stared at me like I was a loony bin.
The girl had dark brown hair and pale blue eyes. The boy have light brown hair and violet eyes.
"Are you going to answer me, girl?" The girl asked.
"I-I'm looking for someone." I told her in a whisper.
"Who?" The boy asked, looking me up and down.
"U-uh," I looked away, "Kole."
"Damn that Raven Mocker," The girl said.
"Now now, Violet. He was important to Sapphire. She had to pick him for a reason."
"Who's Sapphire?"
"More like who was," The girl said, "She was my best friend. Then she met that damn Raven Mocker and had a child. Sadly, her body wasn't strong enough for a child. She died giving birth to her."
"So, Kole's lover?" I asked her.
"Yes. His daughter roams freely on Earth with humans so she is safe."
"Y-You mean me?" I asked them.
"You're his daughter?"
"That's what he said. He just popped up out of no where and opened a portal in my room. Then he pushed me in it." I explained.
"You're Maylin?" Violet asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"Wow. How couldn't I see it?" The boy said, smiling.
"Mitchel, you're blind. That's why."
"You should talk, bloodsucker."
"So where's Kole?" I asked before they fought any more.
"Try the dining room. I'll walk you in there." Mitchel said, taking my hand and pulling me past Violet.
"Wait for me!" Violet yelled. In a flash, she was on my other side.
"What is this place?" I asked.
"This is the Dimension of the Dark Kingdom," Violet explained, "Mages, wizards, vampires, and anything you can think of live here. Including dragons."
"This the the castle of The Dark Father and The Dark Mother." Mitchel said, still holding onto my hand.
"They're also your grandparents." Violet added as we walked into a room with a long table.
A man and a women dressed in dark clothing sat at one end of the long table. Though, they were fairly young looking, Violet said they were my grandparents.
"Dark Father. Dark Mother. Have you seen Kole?" Violet asked.
"No," Dark Mother asked, looking to Maylin, "Is she new?"
"This is Maylin." Mitchel said, letting go of my hand. The Dark Mother
