Lost Queen 34: Shiny Juice
ADRIANAMum’s fear was potent, I could almost feel it inside my blood. No, deep in the marrow of my bones.“What’s wrong?” I used the last ounce of strength I had to voice that question. Even at that, it comes out in a whisper.I looked up, my eyes were a bit cloudy and I looked at Kian, he was also watching me with an expression I couldn’t place. But it couldn’t be good.What is going on? What is happening to me?I was shaking inside. Terror filling me. Not just from mum, but this seems like a memory of mine. It was so close, I felt like I could reach my hand and touch it. It didn’t make any sense. None of this makes any sense.I’m about to try and find strength to speak again when mum shakes her head. She motions for Kian to pick me up. I start shaking my head. I really felt like I was going to break apart if I moved from my position.“Nothing will happen,” almost like she could hear my fear, mum said. Her tone is soft and reassuring.I breathed in and told myself to believe her. Sh
Lost Queen 35: Dimly Lit Hall
ADRIANAI’m walking in a dimly lit hall.I looked around the place, starting from my right to my left then straight ahead. I even turned around to look at my back.One thing stands out, I can’t see beyond the perimeter I’m standing. Of course, that makes the arms bells in my head ring. And my senses are on high drive. The voice in my head is telling me to get the hell out. And yes, I agree with her, except, I can’t bring myself to move.I’m moving, I’m walking ahead. But I want to run, and preferably in the opposite direction. My body doesn’t heed to that command. I could almost hear it telling me I can’t tell it what to do. It has a mind of its own now.With no progress on stopping myself from going to wherever my body is leading. I decided to look at the place some more, hoping to find a clue what the place is.How did I even get there? There is no one to answer my question.I looked up and noticed a single bulb on the high ceiling dangling. The light is so dim that it doesn’t brigh
Lost Queen 36: Beauty And The Beast
XANDERI feel like I’m living in a different dimension. Like the moment I walked into the room, I was transported somewhere else.It was the perfect depiction of my soul leaving my body. That sure as hell seemed like what happened.I could almost feel her presence in the room, like it used to be when she lived here. There was still that aura that she had and the room developed it. It became hers.From her scent that was in every corner, to the calming and welcoming energy. She always had a welcoming aura.Though she didn’t take the place to be her home, it didn’t stop it from being hers. To me and to everyone in this place.And I want her back. I’ll do everything to make sure she comes back. It came like a superpower to her. The ability to make people notice her and warm up to her.She was hospitable. And that would make her the best queen and luna.I stared at the flower that had started to grow. It resembles a small bouquet. Candace has mentioned her worry for how fast it was growin
Lost Queen 37: Heavy Sleeper
ADRIANAI woke up in my bed the next day and everything was intact. It almost seemed like nothing happened. The more I spoke about it, the more it seemed like it was just really a dream and nothing more.But it felt real. It felt very real that I could recall the fear I felt very well. Like I could reach out and touch it. How nervous and scared I was when those people came to pass by me.I wish I’d turned to see the person’s face. Maybe it would have made more sense.Mum was glad when I woke up. The relief was very obvious in her face. And she kept checking up on me after every five minutes. She would just pop in my room. Look at me and check over my body, then she’ll go back out only to come back a few minutes later.Kian too stayed there. He’d told me how scared he was when I refused to wake up no matter what mum did. If not for the fact that my heart was beating and I was still breathing, they would have thought I was dead.That only worried me more, seeing how I wasn’t normally a
Lost Queen 38: Heaven
ADRIANAI expected to wake up and see that it was just a dream. But that never happened.My screams didn’t stop and so did the crazy floating. It was like jumping out of an airplane. I have never done that before, I’m sure of it. But it is the only thing I could accurately describe it as.Though this place is fully dark, with no sign of light from anywhere. There was a pressure, coming at me from every angle. Air whipped around me, making my hair fly everywhere and get in my mouth and eyes. I couldn’t close my mouth. Couldn’t stop myself from screaming, just like I couldn’t hold myself back up and stop from falling.Then all of it just stops. Like turning off a movie or pressing pause on your phone. It all stops.I’m no longer falling. There is no sound of air or my screaming, the place isn’t dark. I couldn’t feel pressure around me. It was all stale.I popped one eye open. Not even sure when I closed it. And the first thing I noticed was a white ceiling and bright lights. I closed my
Lost Queen 39: Unknown History Book
XANDERDonovan suggested I start preparing for war. I asked why he said that, and in true Donovan fashion, he shrugged and said better to be safe than sorry.I wanted to know exactly what that meant. Knowing the asshole he wouldn’t say anything like that just for the sake of it. And it should do me good to recall he has a lot of friends. Witches especially.He always said, if you wanted to be at the top, you had to be neutral and let everyone think you’re their friend. Even though they aren’t yours.He is manipulative. So of course, he would think to make friendship one sided and only so it benefits him.I’ve been on the hunt for him. Since he chooses this time, after giving me a damn cryptic message, to disappear.Daciana swears she doesn’t know where he went because he didn’t tell her. I hated that I didn’t believe her.I always, always, trusted her word. I think I have become paranoid and even less trusting. Because, I used to doubt everyone before. But Daciana, I have never doubte
Lost Queen 40: Old Times
XANDERMuch to Daciana’s dismay, I didn’t take her lost book theory very seriously.Though, I did go with her to check what she mentioned. Only to get her to leave me alone. Everything there was spotless and there was a dust spot right where she had plucked the book from.“What if someone put it there recently?” I asked, cocking a brow, she glared at me, clearly not happy with my response.“I’m going to find Donovan,” she grumbles, throwing the book not so gently at the reading chair in the library. “It is why he knows things more than you. He looks outside the box.”With these parting words, she walked out, leaving me alone.I stared at the room, thinking of how I used to see Adriana with large history books Daciana had picked for her. She was a reader, and I wanted to invest in her hobby. Just to see that shine in her eyes when she gets to a particularly exciting scene.I was just about to walk out when I changed my mind and picked up the boom Daciana had left behind. Maybe she was
Lost Queen 41: At My Mercy
ADRIANA“Hello?! Anyone here?!!” I probably sounded and looked like a crazy person.I was shouting in the dark, calling out to nobody. So maybe I am crazy. I could have sworn I heard a voice though, I was sure of it. A female voice had spoken and she said, word to word, ‘I finally meet you’.That is the only thing that is helping me stay upright. Being sure of what I heard.Unless I made it all up, I know she has to be here somewhere.But where? I’ve been standing for over twenty minutes and nothing has changed. I also couldn’t transport myself like I did when I was dreaming. So does that mean this isn’t a dream? More realistic things were happening and that sucked.Mum’s office should be here, instead of this dark…whatever place it is. She is always here, so unless I fell into another dimension. What the hell is going on?And the voice I heard. They disappeared almost immediately since I felt myself floating in the air. And they haven’t returned.It was probably used as bait and I st
