Twin's Luck by Kelsey Hunsdon (great novels txt) 📕

It was strange though because from where I was standing I could see the tops of them all.
" Puck?" I yelled. I felt something grip my wrist and then he was there. He pulled me away from the edge and towards a building.
" Where are we?"
" Empire state building." He said it as he opened a door and pulled me inside. The wind immediatly stopped and then I could hear him clearly.
" You brought me to New York?!" I had never been, but the big apple was something I had always wanted to see.
" I have a house here, where you'll be safe." The elevator door dinged open and we stepped in. It immediatly shot downwards and I felt my ears pop. When the doors opened we stood still for a while but the only person was the sleeping guard at the desk. We snuck out and then we were on the streets. They were surprisingly lively for night time. Although nothing was dark, lights were everywhere. Puck pulled me through some suspicious looking alley's and then we stopped in front of a giant building.
" Trump International Hotel?" I couldn't believe the size of the building.
" Inconspicous isn't it?" He grinned and let go of my hand walking forward. The door was open for us and then we entered the lobby. A giant chandalier hung over the stone floors and a counter stretched out on our left. People in expensive clothes bustled by and Puck led me to the elevator. The man inside pushed a button and music played in the background. When we reached our room Puck pulled a key from nowhere and slid it through. The door opened with a click and my breath was taken away.
" Are you kidding me?" Through the huge windows I could see central park, plush creamy furniture flowed across the room. The master bedroom was huge and completely perfect as was the other room. I nearly drooled when I saw the bath tub.
" Puck are you sure it's safe here?"
" Of course, don't you trust me princess?" He eyes shined with mischief but I didn't have a choice. He grabbed some grapes and dissapeared into the spare room. I closed off all of the curtains and then turned the television down to a low hum. I flopped onto one of the extremely fluffy couches and closed my eyes.
" What am I going to do?" I mumbled to myself.
" Firstly, your going to write all of your plans down." Puck was leaning against the open door with his arms crossed. I nodded and grabbed the pad of paper and a pen. My mind was a jumble of words and I sighed.
" Bring it to bed with you." He turned and closed the doors of his room leaving me alone. I walked into the master room and closed the doors quietly. I set the things on the stand and crawled under the plush comforter. My muscles immediatly relaxed and I could see through some of the fog in my brain. I grabbed the pad and wrote down a few words.
Contacts
Wig
I sighed and then set them back not being able to proccess much more. I closed my eyes and let my stressed mind rest.
In the morning my door was open and the paper was gone. I found a beautiful silk robe in my closet and I walked into the main room. A tray with food awaited me and I picked through it. I spotted the pad of paper and went to grab it. On the bottom in elegant writing were the words,
Gone for a while, be back soon.
Don't leave the room.
I sighed and set it back down. I grabbed an apple and went to watch television. The news was the same as always, killings, burgularies and bad economy. I clicked around until I was watching some sort of golf. It seemed pointless but it gave my brain some time to continue thinking. But of course it was cut short when the door opened. Puck saw me and signalled for someone behind me. I stood and walked over to them. A small bald man walked in an bowed.
" Your highness." I looked at Puck for explination.
" Destiny this is Fredrick, here's here to help." I took in the same man. He looked normal dressed in his expensive suit. He nodded to Puck and then disspeared into the master bedroom.
" Why is he here?" I asked Puck.
" He works with magic, he can make us look unlike ourselves."
" Ourselves?"
" You didn't think I was going to let you go alone, did you?" He raised an eyebrow in an amused expression. I felt anger inside of me.
" You can't go with me." He just shrugged.
" Of course I can." Before I could say anything else he walke dinto the master bedroom. The man had set up a lab like area inside the room and he was know wearing gloves. Puck turned to me.
" We need a piece of your hair." I pulled a strand out and the man grabbed it with tweezers. He dropped it into a bubbling green solution that nearly foamed over. He did the same for Puck and then he poured it into a small cup.
" Take zee small amount, It vill only last vinutes." His accent impaired him. I took the small amount and felt a warm sensation across my face. I ran to the bathroom and was shocked by my reflection. It did not look like me at all. The woman had a short black bob with bright blue eyes. Her red lips were a perfect shape and she had light freckles across her cheeks. My skin was the strangest thing, it nearly glowed with lightness. I turned and starred at the man in the doorway. He had long brown hair that was down his back. His dark brown eyes observed me curiously.
" He's good." I took a deep breath at the sound of his accent.
" What is that?" I heard it in my own voice as well.
" The people from the institute of magic here in the human world sound this way." I starred in the mirror again but my face had returned.
" How do we make it last longer?"
" Larger doses." Puck muttered. The little man was hard at work outside of the room.
" How long?" Puck asked leaning over his shoulder.
" Vone hour." He said quietly, Puck nodded and pulled me into the main room.
" Names?" I asked him. He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to me. It was a nametag with the face of the woman that had been in the mirror.
" How did you do that?"
" The man's a professional. These are valid." I looked down at it again.
" Veronica?" I said lightly.
" Marcel." He slung his around his neck.
" When do we leave?"
" As soon as he's done. Eat." He nodded towards the new tray of lunch foods. I ate a sandwhich and then the little man came out carrying two large beakers.
" It is veady." He handed one to Puck and the other to me. "Vake them vight vefore you enter ze portal." He said it and then he dissapeared. Puck opened the door and signalled for me to follow. We went back through the streets quietly and then we were on the top of the empire state building once again.
" Ready?" I asked. He nodded and then we both drank the large amount of fluid. It was tasteless but I could feel the diffrence before I had finished it. We left the containers in the trash can and then we turnd to eachother. It was so strange and then I realized that I was in a buisness suit with heels. Puck was also dressed in a black suit his nametag around his neck.
" Ready Veronica?"
" After you Marcel." This body was so diffrent and I folowed him into the nearly invisible portal.
Exhiled

A carriage awaited us along with guards from the winter court. I looked at Puck quietly but we wordlessly got into it. We flew through the country side but did not say a word. Puck handed me a word pad with a pen. I felt my heart beating in my ears as we pulled to a stop in the courtyard. Puck stepped out and then held his hand out for me. People were gathered around watching us enter. I saw Rowan in the crowd but I only followed Marcel quietly. The doors opened and then the queen was standing there. My heart stopped when I realized that Ash was standing next to her.
" Ahh, my Earthly friends." She held her hands out welcomingly. We bowed in together. "Your specimen has been sedated in the library." Then she seemed to stop for a moment. "The other has escaped." She glanced at Ash iritated.
" Escaped?" Marcel asked quietly as he wrote on his clipboard.
" Only a minor set back." She said glancing at her nails.
" Thank you your highness, without delay we will begin." He nodded and I glanced up to meet Ash's inspecting eyes as I followed Puck. He knew where he was going and we found Oliver layed out on a couch. There was a guard in the room so I forced myself to hold in all emotions. We walked up and Marcel started writing right away. I wrote things down on my board as well and then we compared our senseless information. Then Marcel walked up to the guard and asked him for something that was strange and I was unsure of. The guard looked confused but he nodded and left quickly. Puck nearly ran back over to me.
" I'm getting him out." He grabbed Oliver and flung him over his shoulder. Then before I knew it he jumped out the nearest window. I ran and watched them land.
" Come on!" he yelled up.
" Get him out, I'll buy you some time."
" No!" He yelled back but I turned away. I ran back and closed the door behind me. I met guards half way down the hall and they stopped short when they saw me.
" Lab?" I asked them in my thick accent. They looked at eachother confused and then my heart dropped. Ash came from around a corner.
" I will take her, go supervise." They bowed to him and then they were off. I walked past Ash going quickly.
" This way." He stepped in front of me and led me down a hallway. He held the door open behind me and then closed it behind us. I walked over to the lab and looked at all of the complicated things. I was glad to see a giant window behind me. I could feel Ash's eyes watching my every movement.
" What do you think
