THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden THIRTY-THIRD CHAPTER:
---Merida’s POV---Dinner was fun. A fun I never knew dinner can be. Mostly I was busy making sure no one was without, whether that was a drink, a side, or napkin. My dad, or I should say my ex-dad or Mr. Cogswell, hated reaching across the table for anything or anyone talking at the table. He preferred eating and getting to the gym before the night rush at 7pm, though it never occurred to me that was weird or that others could fend for themselves. Laughing at myself as I find myself quoting Lucy.*Hey, that girl knows what she’s saying. You should really listen to her.* Nadia comments as she stretches. *Though my question is why are you awake at this hour?**It’s 6am!* I whisper back.*Yeah and we don’t have to get up to cook or even go to school. So again I ask WHY ARE YOU AWAKE!* she screeches. Closing my eyes as the pain washes over me. *Sorry girl, I didn’t mean for that to happen!**I know Na and to answer your question, today I’m going to get my answers no matter what. And I jus

---Miguel’s POV---I just stared into her eyes lost in the depths I knew were there. In every life we have shared her eyes have always been the same, though different in color, but the depth and sincerity of them are always the same. She always looks to me with the same love and understanding, just like now, but only if she knew.“Little Sea, we tried that route. In truth Miguel always tries to better your home life or living arrangements as soon as possible. This time I asked him to hold off as long as possible so I could be the one to explain to you.” King Davien explained as he reached for her. She looked at me before going back to sit next to him. As much as I wanted her to stay next to me, it had to be this way. We had to change the cycle; she must survive to fulfill her role.“Meri, I wanted to talk with, I wanted to throw out the plan, but I couldn’t risk it. Last year before that idiot came in the picture, I had finally found a way to contact your father, King Davien.” I said a

---Merida’s POV---Breakfast was good and just as enjoyable as dinner but just on a smaller scale. Then again, I wasn’t really allowed to eat with my family as I was busy cleaning, serving or cooking the food. I always ate by myself in the kitchen, and it was whatever was left over as I had to wait for them to finish before I could eat. Let it be that we should run out of something, or they found me eating I was to blame for why they were starving.*I wonder how they are doing without me. It’s been over a week since I’ve been home or cooked for them!* I thought just as my plate was picked up and taken to the kitchen. *I will never get used to this. I just feel awful that someone is doing what I can do myself!**Girl you were a child of that blasted household. Not a cook, maid, or servant! They used you and asked too much of you. Now their suffering is not your concern anymore. Don’t forget that turd demanded money to sign away his parental rights. Now you can focus on what you really

To say people were staring in shock was an understatement as everyone tried to swarm the limo as we drove into the parking lot. Warrick had to get out and guide the limo into several spots while asking the kids to make space. Luckily the school security noticed the commotion and came to help. As Miguel was telling me goodbye we heard an argument outside, Ericson quickly got out and interceded the teacher and principal that had run over.“Sir you can’t park here unless you have business here! Please leave!” Mr. Rock commanded loudly as he waved and pointed his hands at poor Warrick.“It would be better to address me Mr. Rock, as Warrick is an employee and just doing his job.” Ericson growled to get the principal’s attention. Though I was more shocked to see which teacher was with the principal. It was Mrs. Blanchard. I thought she hated morning duty and always found ways to avoid being available in the morning before school started.“Then can you explain why you are here?” Mrs. Blancha

It took some doing and some crazy maneuvering, but we all got out even my dad, Davien. I’m still getting used to having him as dad, let alone having him help or even care about me or my friends. As soon as he was out, he was barking orders and people obeyed. Warrick and the driver were the fastest in carrying out his orders, while Peter ran to get the nurse. Chad just stood back and watched, until I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. Then he just collapsed onto me sobbing, looking to Larry I mouthed ‘What?’ but he was no help as he just gapped at us.“Chad, Chad listen to me. Steven will be ok. I’m ok and I was hit by a car.” I thought my words would help but instead he cried harder.At a loss for words, I just held him tight as he cried. I knew we were a sight given me short stature and his tall muscle build. Chad is on the wrestle team for the school but this year he also joined Steve’s football team at the local recreation center. Steve is really thick-headed unless you talk about f

---Ericson’s POV---The car ride back to the house was silent but not an uncomfortable one. We all just seemed to be lost in our thoughts, will Meri the most as she was probably thinking about her friend. One minute it was a carefree and light moment then it turned serious really fast. Mike the driver told me wat happened when I arrived with Mr. Rock. Though I really wanted to throttle that female teacher. Did she not have any common sense.“Ericson, can I ask you something?” Meri asked me, startling me from my thoughts.“Will you just did!” I joked with her, seeing her smile I added, “Meri, you can ask me anything and I will try to answer to the best of my abilities.”“Who was Pomona?” she asked me. I choked on the air as I saw my king looking at me. I knew this was going to happen, but in a moving vehicle where not only I can’t escape but I have to answer her with him listening.“Well, um...” I cleared my throat as I thought about how to explain this, but I didn’t have to.“Many cen

---Merida’s POV---And here I thought I asked a simple question. No, he just told me he was a mixed Alien human… *Wait he said Crustalia planet, not Crysthalle islands or even of earth. He was born in space. So…* I thought loudly not really thinking of everyone who could be listening in. I just wasn’t sure how to say it.“Meri all pure-blooded Crysthalian’s are in fact aliens of earth and cannot be actually aged in today’s standards.” Crispin says as he appears at the doorway to the living room.“Yeah, like that explains anything. Meri, they have been here since before written or even common language.” Sarah says as she sits on the couch next to Ericson, then as an afterthought she adds. “No ruling country or established culture was around when our king first stepped on Earth and friended the Natives of North America. Does that help.”“So, let’s say I understand and that I believe what you are saying, which is that my dad here,” I pause as I point to my dad and take a breath, “has bee

There were no words that I could say as I hugged Jenn. I’ve known her for as long as I can remember, and she was a rock for me until she left last year. Though what Ericson said had me questioning everything. *Is she someone from a previous life? Or can she be a child I had in a previous life? No, wait can she be my mom?**Hold up, hold up girl. Don’t go jumping there. I’m not sure who she is but we can trust her. That’s all I will say for now. I’ll look in to…* Nadia said then drifted away as she spoke to herself. Shaking my head, I smiled at her silliness.“Merry what are you doing?” Jenn asked me as she pushed me back and looked at me. “Your acting weird.”“So, you didn’t know ab…” Crispin started speaking but Sarah slammed her hand over his mouth. “Don’t listen to this lunkhead. He’s worried about Merida and with everything we have learned lately we are wondering who knew what she was dealing with.” Sarah rushed out before pinching Crispin and most likely threatening him to shut u

---Merida’s POV--- I really didn’t want to go back to the courthouse or see that Mr. O’Neal again. But given what happened in the courtroom and how it all ended. Plus Mr. Anderson still needed to rest his case and had questions for me. *Man I hate this!* *You’re not the only one Girl! Though I do wonder what happened?* Nadia voices as I watch Amanda scurry around the room. We were once again in the waiting room but this time, there were more people in here. A counselor, a paramedic or nurse, and I think Amanda’s boss, with the way she was acting, was the only reasonable explanation. Plus, this time around there were snacks and drinks, though no one said anything I could see them watching me. I just ignored them and focused on Nadia. *Na I don’t believe you but I know it’s worthless to ask you!* I state as I look to my dad. I lean over to whisper to him but stop at Nadia’s word. *Girl it wasn’t me. I really don’t remember anyt

---Lucy’s POV--- I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard what happened today. But that didn’t even compare to my disbelief when my alpha showed up at the door and asking to speak with Meri. I was happy when my brother showed up and got me to the workout room while RJ dealt with that. Though it was all strange. Miguel was with me on it being the strangest day. For it just didn’t make any sense, but then again did anything make sense. I was happy to see my girl ok but the bandages on her wrists really had me seething. I didn’t care that she somehow opened them from rubbing them, but it was the fact that I was seeing her bandage up again that caused my fears. Last time she had to stay in the hospital for several days and they had worries about her nerves being damaged. Then there was the chaos about getting her to her physical therapy appointments. As Mr. Cogswell’s had all excuses about her not going or doing something to keep her from goi
THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden SEVENTIETH-FIRST CHAPTER:
Jolting awake I feel someone holding my head and rubbing my hair. It’s very comfortable and natural, but before I can place what is happening. a door opens and someone rushes to me. It takes a moment, but I recognize the person. “Thomas!” I squeak out, startled he looks to me and grins widely for once. Then I feel my head being shifted and I find myself staring into the gray eyes from my dreams. *No their the eyes of my father. DAD!* I just about yell in my head. His eyes squint at me and that’s when I notice his whole face. “Dad! Hi.” I whisper but when I go to touch him, he stops me and tells me to stay put. *But did he actually talk. I don’t remember his voice sounding so stereo like as it wraps around me. *No Girl he didn’t speak, you’re finally connecting with our dad. Now please focus on him so the guard can treat your wounds.* at Nadia’s word everything rushes back to me. How I was testifying or trying to ask the slim ball of a man keep tryin
THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden SEVENTIETH CHAPTER:
---Merida’s POV--- *I really don’t like this guy. Will he ever ask us a question about what Tim did?* I think and though I shouldn’t I look to my dad. Clutching his handkerchief in my hand in the pocket to get some of his strength. *Girl the guy is trying to rattle us, just hold and wait for the right questions.* Nadia says as she huffs in annoyance. At that I release the handkerchief and clasp my hands in my lap. Hearing the Judge reprimand Mr. O’Neal gives me hope. Then seeing my dad look to my right, I turned my head to find the Judge looking to me. Though it’s his words that give me pause. “Ms. Cogswell are you ok?” “Yesss, Yes. Judge but I’m confused… what I’m supposed to do?” I am confused as I really don’t know what else to say. “Those last questions please ignore, though if you need a minute, please tell me now.” Judge Mathews tells me as he offers me a small smile and the box of tissues. I don’t take the b

---Ericson’s POV--- After securing the King and Merida in the waiting room, I followed Mr. Anderson into the courtroom. I waved two of the Armed Guards to stay at the back of the room and had Thomas follow me up to the front row right behind Mr. Anderson. Who was already at the prosecution table. Sitting down next to the walkway I had Thomas sit down but give enough room for when the King comes in. Scanning the room, I took notice of the reporters and the spectators. Though I was surprised to see Alpha David of the Moonlight River pack here. He should have nothing to do with the case. Besides Merida, all of the other victims of Tom were human. I am sure of it. I had investigated them and confirmed all their connections myself. Looking to Thomas I discreetly pointed out the alpha but was surprised when I found Thomas staring at the back of the room. More precisely to the doors. Turning around I’m shocked to see the werewolf Alpha of Cresent Luna Pack

“So, when do you think his plane will get here?” I ask for maybe the 20th time since arriving at the airport. I’m in a better mood, especially after talking with the Judge. Though it got better when we got my dad’s call saying he was getting on the plane. That was several hours ago and now it’s almost evening and here I’m with Mi, Ericson, Crispin, and Jenn waiting for his plane. Which will be landing any minute at this private airport. I know for my dad, it’s been over 13 hours as it was still morning when he left while, it was close to lunch time here when he called. *I still can’t believe all the craziness of today but then again I am learning!* I thought as I watched the skies for any trace of my dad’s plane. *I will never get used to this. A private plane!* *Girl this is nothing. Wait till you see our new home!* Nadia said, then she pulled my head and I could see a dot. *There’s our dad!* “I can see it. Ericson is that h

---Merida’s POV--- It was nerve wracking to sit in the room and wait. Yes, I had an Armed Guard and a lovely female court official with me, but I really didn’t know them. Then again, they weren’t really here for me, it was just their job to be here. Though Thomas the Armed Guard was taking this seriously even as he offered me a gentle smile right after Ericson left. Then focused on watching the unknown woman in the room and the door. Though I almost jumped out of my seat when the door opened, and Ericson was standing there. I saw Thomas shifting right before but I wished he had signaled to me what was happening. Seeing my startled face, Thomas winced but moved swiftly out of the room, as Ericson headed to me. “I’m sorry Meri I should have knocked on the door, but I was in a rush to see you.” Ericson exclaimed as he took my hands and rubbed them. “Ms. Cogswell is perfectly fine here Mr. Solace.” The lady who I have completely

---Ericson’s POV--- “Ok Merida I will be right beside you or on the other side of the door when you meet with the judge. So please just relax and answer the questions simply. If you get flustered or it gets too much just call me. I’ll be right there and will handle everything.” I said as we pulled into a parking lot at the courthouse. I had asked Mr. Anderson if we could enter through the back doors but he said no. Will it was more his boss that said no. I’m not happy about any of this, not that the king was any more pleased. He’s flying out soon, hopefully within the next hour. He really tried to leave last night but those blasted council members had questions. I know that he won’t let that happen again, he will be getting on the plane and heading here soon. It just won’t be in time for this, but he will be here tonight and tomorrow. Though I am not looking to tomorrow as that’s the day of the moron getting his eyes on my poor Merida. I
THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden SIXTIETH-FIFTH CHAPTER:
---Miguel’s POV--- I felt so bad for Merida. She was still dealing with the fact that Nadia was keeping a secret and all the new information she got over the weekend. As well that Nadia blocked her when she was chatting with the king. I wish had be privy to that chat, but we needed to keep the information to a few people. The less who know what’s the plan, the more chance of success. Though to say she wasn’t happy wasn’t a good way of describing her this weekend. As she cried a lot. She couldn’t believe that someone was out using her as an excuse to hurt people and now someone died because of it. Then again, the fact that Nadia was keeping her in the dark or helping on some trap, really hurt her. I don’t think she and Nadia have kept secrets from each other, not that she could kept hers from Nadia. But she seemed to really trust Nadia. It really took all weekend to get her to calm down and understand we will get those responsible for it
