THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden TWENTY-SIXTH CHAPTER:
Sitting there in a nice restaurant and having a good time, I was floored by how fast it changed. I just watched as half my family left and without explaining why. Callie was not happy, but she understood she didn’t have a say, so she just waved goodbye to me. Smiling as best as I could I waved back to her.I was angry that they tried to hide those letters from me, and that Callie even touched one. But I was worried that there was more than just that and they didn’t want me to know. As I was seething, I noticed that guy from the car, Warrick, (I think) whispering in Davien’s ear. Looking at him, I see his happy expression switch to an angry one. Then I see Crispin on his feet heading to the entrance, Sarah was next to me and saying something but none of it made since. Ericson was also on the move, but he was heading to my wheelchair. It had been parked at the far wall, so it was out of the way, and started rolling it to me. Before I could even grasp what was going on. Davien picked me u

*It’s the memory. You need to put it to rest or you will die like you did back then.* Nadia shrieked, as I continued to cough, only to start seizing. It lasted only a few minutes, but it caused a lot of commotion in the car as well as pain for me.“Theresa, SOMETHING IS WRONG. She can’t breathe!” My dad roared as he positioned me across the seat, so I was facing the ceiling, and he was next to me. I wasn’t sure what was going on. But seeing my dad ripped his jacket off and folded it up to put it under my head. Then with his handkerchief he wiped my forehead, which suddenly felt cold. Looking back at the ceiling I wondered if I was going to die like this.But not long later Theresa was in my view and examined me. I could hear Sarah directing the driver to drive faster and something else that didn’t make sense. “Yes, we need a mixture of blood from high elites and serum of my brother. We will be there in…” I couldn’t hear that last part as I started coughing again and seized once again.

---Another’s POV--- Sitting in the back booth as I looked around the restaurant, I just wondered what I will do from this moment on. It’s been a good run, 30 long years, 25 one of those years with my late husband and now my cook Carl is leaving. He understood my husbands’ recipes and how to treat our regulars. Will the few we have left, given how things have changed. No one wants to eat at a Ma and Pops or even give back to the neighbor these days. I don’t blame the people but also wish they would just give us a chance to show them a different type of cuisine. Which leads me back to why Carl is leaving me, he got a chance to study at Advanced Culinary Arts school in Manhattan, Fort Nethers Territory. He has till the end of the week then he has to drive up there. It will take him at least two days, I’m hoping he will take four days and enjoy the sites and territories in between here - there. Once he gets to the school, he won’t have time or the energy to spend touring Manhattan. It’

---Miguel’s POV---“What do you mean she collapsed?” I yelled as I entered the mansion. Lucy had already run up the stairs in search of her with Sarah hot of her heels. Most likely to guide her to the room that’s Meri in this place.“Hello soul guide. It’s been a while!” came his voice. He never changes no matter what era we are in or what’s going on. King Davien Hawkyns, the true father of my soul partner and a walking nightmare if you cross him. He was seated on the couch across from the lobby in the dark seating room. The lights were off, and the curtains closed but the light from the fire was enough to bask him in a soft glow. which added to his overall dominating aura.Though in truth it wasn’t the fire that caused his glow it was his own inner aura. In the sun or under the artificial lighting, his skin tone looks pale or almost off-white, but if you watch as he passes through shadows then you’ll see his inner light shining through his skin. It is one of the many reasons people f

---Merida’s POV---“Lu, s’il te plaît, bouge, mastodonte. Tu es lourd!” I said after a few minutes of laying here with her on my chest. When she didn’t make any moves, I started tickling her again, but she didn’t react, so I pinched her in the armpit. >She yelped as she rolled off me and slapped me in the chest as she asked, “Why did you do that?”“Je t'ai demandé de déménager! Merde, Lu!” I reiterated as I adjusted so I could roll onto my side and look at her. >Only I was surprised to hear her next statement, “Meri when are you going to stop speaking like that. I don’t understand what you are saying. Well not exactly as I know you and can guess what you are saying.”“Lu, de quoi tu parles?” I demanded of her as I sat up. >“See what I mean, something is wrong!” hearing Sarah’s voice I looked across the room to the door. Standing there is Miguel, Sarah, Theresa, E

At this little gesture everything in the room changed. Sarah, Lucy, and Miguel were questioning me about what happened to me and where I learned French and plus why did I think Miguel’s name was Mickeal.Davien and Ericson were at the door talking with Theresa and Steven, then Theresa sprinted out of the room as Steven walked back to me. But before he could get to my side, a gust of wind blew into the room, and I was being picked up and moved. I say move as the next thing I can see is another room and Crispin. Everything happened so fast that my head felt light-headed and woozy.“Just breath in and out. That’s it. I got you Meri!” Crispin said as he sat in front of me on the bed. “Can you tell me about the life, or the memory recall you just went through!”“Comment as-tu fait ça? Pourquoi as-tu fait ça? Qu’est-ce que le rappel de mémoire?” I asked one after the other as I continuously took breaths. I knew I needed to get handle all of this or I would get overwhelmed. “How did you d

---Sarah’s POV---“Ok Lucy this is our kitchen and our cook for the evening is…” I say then stop as I stare at our cook. I can’t believe who I’m seeing, it’s been years since I’ve seen him. “How was Oaxaca City RJ?” I asked before running over to him and jumping up to wrap myself around him so that I could somewhat give him a hug, given how huge he is. Which amounting to me hanging off his chest as I smiled up at him.“Hey Monkey, still hanging around I see! Oaxaca city was great but that was last month, I actually got back last week but you already left to come get our lost princess.” RJ laughed as he hugged me tight to him as he spun us around the kitchen. Everyone moved out of our way and before long we were in the dining room. Our laughter filled the room until I heard Lucy.“Who are you talking about? Who’s the lost princess?” Lucy asked.“Oh, hello there. Sorry Monkey distracted me earlier. I am Ericson Jr Solace, but everyone calls me RJ.” RJ detangles me from him and walks to

---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

---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

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

---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

---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
