“How is she Dr. Marshall?” I ask after he finished examining the person everyone told was my mother.
“She’s still the same, Dear” he says closing the medical file “Although her reading are stable we can’t really say what’s stopping her from waking up” he says. I nod understanding.
“Argon wants you to go to this address” Dr. Marshall; father of Argon hands me a folded slip.
Argon is my potential boyfriend. He’s been visiting me every two days ever since I visited his hospital.
“Thanks doctor” I say and he furrows his brows. I realise my mistake “Mr. Marshall” I readdress him the way he told me to. He smiles and walks out of the room.
I sit on the couch and look at mother
“Are you really my mom?” I ask again hoping she’ll wake up and answer me but as always I get disappointed.
I unfold the paper and read it
Delight Hotel
@ 5 pm, I’ll pick you up!
“We’re here” he announces stopping the car at a corner and my watch struck 5.49 pm, he still held my hand as he parked the car. “Laura, let’s take a picture” he says and I neglect him “Please” he requests and I still don’t answer “Alright, I’m sorry. What did you want to speak about?” he asks finally I turn to him making up my mind “Argon will you still like me even if I don’t belong here?” “I’m not catching up, love” he says confused “Would you leave me if I don’t belong to Bazoda?” I ask preparing myself to whatever comes next. “You are you, no matter which planet you belong to Laura and that would not affect how I feel about you” he says caressing my palm. I smile back feeling bubbles in the air “So where are we?” I ask looking around at the view. “It’s a party and I want to introduce you to some important people” he says, adjusting himself on the chair. “Why would you do that?” I ask dazzled
I try to see the caller but my blury eyes makes it hard, I drop my head back down“Laura, what’s wrong?” Argon questions approaching me and I look at him and smile. He sits on the pavement beside me quietly.“Sis, what are you doing here?” I see a young girl rush and kneel down in front of me. She grabs my arms“Who are you?” Argon speaks before I could“What are you doing here sis and who is he?” the girl questions me ignoring Argon. She looked so familiar as though she was a relative of mine and she kept calling me sister.“Have we met earlier?” I ask erecting my posture. My vision was clear and head wasn’t hurting any longer. It was as though someone was controlling my headache as it disappeared instantly.She falls back and crosses her legs on the floor “Are you serious?” she questions wide eyed.“Miss. I’m sorry but we have
“I have to leave Laura. Be safe and keep me updated” Argon says as he brings th car to a halt.“Sure Argon. Thanks for today” I smile, he was being so kind letting me bring along a stranger named Jessica “Drive safe” I say closing the door and wage he a good bye.“Sis, let’s go meet Nella first” Jessica calls out almost jerking me.“But…” I hesitate for a second but nod later “I’ll take you”We walk through the guard who recognises me and lets us enter. We slowly walk into the garden, then the back entrance and finally reach the basements entrance.“Why do you what to meet Nella?” I ask as we walk down the stairs“I need to know what’s wrong with you and I’m sure she will help” She says looking ahead. I open the large wooden door with a creak and we slip inside. I close the door behind us.“F
We enter the large mansion quietly.“Alpha are you here?” Jessica questions looking around“Hey there. Jessica right?” a young person walks towards us.“Are you Thaddeus?” I askThe stranger’s smile was lost “No Laura, I’m Eagle; a wizard” he introduces himself.“We’re looking for Thaddeus” Jessica says smiling.“I can be of more help” he says dropping back on the red couch “I was there when it happen” he says softly.“You… you’re Eagle?” I ask and he nods “Nella said earlier that you could help me with my memory” I recall and state.“I sure can but that would make Daisy more careful” he says“Please Eagle. I need you to help us. Without sis remembering, we can’t do anything” she requests.A large muscular male enters the siting a
“Sis?” Jessica speaks as soon as I open my eyes, I turn to her and smile for a second and pull her into an embrace“I missed you, Jessy” I say“I missed you, Laura” she repeats in a heavy tone.“I think I’ll leave you too alone” Eagle speaks standing up from his chair.“Thank you Mr. Oldie” I say and he laughs“Its good to have you back, Laura” he winks and walks away.“Sis, he looks so young” Jessica remarked after a second.I giggle “A wizard who consumed a portion to stop aging” I say“Ahh. Portions work eh” she nods whispering“Let’s pick a room to crash in” I say standing up.“Sure sis. I’m dead sleepy” she complains walking out of the room ahead of me.We stand on the doorway and choose between the wooden d
A knock on the door awakes me“Dad 5 minutes?” Jessica yells turning to her side.I giggle sitting up“My lady, its your breakfast” a voice calls out“Please come in” I say and the door opens and an elderly lady walks into the room with a trolley.“Did you sleep well miss?” She asks me“Well ma’am. Thank you” I reply“Master will be expecting you at the table within an hour” she smiles“Got it. Thank you” I speak and she closes the door behind her.“Jessica time to wake up” I call out.“I still need sleep. Please” she covers her face now“Jessica” I call out in an bossy toneShe jerks up “Laura please” she pouts“Jessica we can sleep all we want when we return to earth” I sayShe stares at me with anger
I go to my room after dropping Jessica at the basement entrance.‘We can’t just go unprepared' my brain speaks as I change my clothes.‘Let’s tell her I’m ready to serve her' I say aloud‘that’s suspicious’ my brain replies.I nod thinking.I sit on the bed and change my socks when a knock interrupts me.“Who is it?” I ask expecting Daisy.“It’s me” A voice replied and my heart sank‘What am I going to tell him' I question myself but reply“Yes Argon. Come on in”He walks into the room with a smiling face“Hey Laura” he speaks“Hey Argon. Thanks for yesterday. I had a great time” I say as he sits on the chair.He smiles. His eyes were longing, hey held an empty expression “Would you like to tell me now?” he asks“She is my sister” I
“Jessica, I’ve brought you a change of clothes and food” I say and hand over the bag.“Thanks sis” she takes it and walked into another room in the basement.“Do you hate me?” Nella questions when we are all by ourselves.“No, Why would I be?” I ask back “You tried your best to stop me Nella. Thank you”She smiles“Daisy will be here tonight at 3” I speak“How did you persuade her?” Nella asks“She wants to meet you” I hide away the reason as to why Daisy wants to meet her.“There are no relations in the palace, Laura. You don’t have to hide her motives” she says in a dull tone.Nella said the exact words of Daisy. She doesn’t deserve to die. She will be a good queen.“We will end her tonight” I assure NellaShe nods with empty eyes“You will be a
