Mollie let out a loud terrified scream.

Kathy backed away from me.

Charles kept repeating "You killed him, Amaya. You killed him".

My eyes spun through the crowd.

Then I fixed my gaze on the corpse.

Daniel. Dead. Doomed.

Everything was happening fast, the principal came to the class. And next were the police. Then, I was on the police van, heading to the prison.

Dad came two hours later. 

He yelled at me, he called me a cursed child, he abused me before everyone, he accused me of killing my mother.

He killed me with his tongue.

Every word of his' pierced my heart like a hot sword on snow mass.

The worst part of it was that, no one cared to hear my explanation. No one wondered how it happened. All they care is that I killed a boy.

I was angry. Angry at the world, angry with everyone.

......

As I slept on the cell, I had a dream.

In the dream, there was the Mysterious guy. He was saying something to me.

He told me that I don't belong here. I belong to a place, far from Earth.

He told me he lived there and will be waiting for me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My name is Alec but if you get there, call me Prince Alec." 

"Come with your she'll, I'll be waiting for you" he said and disappeared.

Then I woke up.

I stared around, there was no one around. I shut my eyes again and this time I saw myself in a strange village.

It was ancient.

People passed with horses, and there were no colorful or fancy clothe.

It was so ancient like the Mystical movies I usually watched.

A man rode his horse towards me and asked "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Really?

I'm being interrogated in my own nightmare.

"Oh, are you one of the daughters?" The man asked.

Daughters?

What is he talking about.

"I guess you're probably one of them, where is your shell?" He asked.

I know it was a dream and I'm going to wake up anytime from now, but somehow, I doubted if it was a dream.

It seems real!

"I'm not with it" I said to the bulky guy.

He frowned, "I'm not sure if Prince Alec would be pleased with that. Anyway, let's try our luck." 

He took me up to his horse, then he rode us to the palace. To their Palace.

"You'll have to pay homage to the king first!" The man said.

I followed him. 

Palace guards hovered at every corner of the mighty Palace.

The king was seated on mighty throne, he was having a serious condition with a strange woman  whom I assumed to be the Village's priestess.

The man who brought me, knelt and bow before the King and his guest.

"Greetings my Lord!"

"Yes Rory, speak!" The king ordered.

Rory bowed his head once more, then he stood up and brought me forward.

"I found her at the field. I think she's one of the Daughters"

The king nodded ever so slightly. Then he turned to the gaunt chief priest.

"Speak, Hermione" the king said to the Priestess.

She stood up with such an agility that amazed me.

She charged towards me and sniffed at me, the way a cat does to it's prey.

Then she hit her staff on the floor and it made a loud noise.

"Amaya Harkins, daughter of the goddess Athena!" She announced. Her eyes shone like a witch.

She sniffed more at me "Her destiny is to see things yet to happen. She's a foreseer."

How did this woman know about me!

And what does she mean by saying that I am a daughter to a goddess.

Well, I need not to worry.

After all, is a dream.

"Welcome to our Kingdom, Amaya!" The king said.

"You'll be joining the daughters and my son will be your tutor. Be loyal to him." The king said to me. Then he turned to Rory, "Take her to Alec"

Alec?

Is it Alec.

The mysterious guy in my class. Of course not, it can't be him.

"The Prince is nice but he's also dangerous, be careful of him. Do not show him blood. If you're having your flow, always ensure to stay out of the palace." Rory instructed.

"Where is this place?" I asked.

"Here is Alcham, the first city of the seven cities of the Greeks." He said.

"Who are you?" 

"I'm Rory, the Palace Messenger." He said.

I said nothing.

Prince Alec was having siesta in his room.

Rory knocked once, no reply.

He didn't knock again. He stood aside and we waited for a whole five minutes.

"Why not knock again?" I asked.

"No one knocks more than once on the door of Royalty." He said with a grim.

I hissed and pounded on the door.

"Come in" The Prince said harshly.

"I'm sorry my prince, I would've taught her manners" Rory apologized as we walked in.

The Prince was staring out at his window. His back to us.

"What is her name?" He asked without looking back.

"Amaya Harkins, daughter of goddess Athena." Rory said.

The Prince turned and faced me.

Then I saw his face, his beauty shone like a flame, vital and bright, drawing my eye against my will. His mouth was a plump bow, his nose an aristocratic arrow.

He's beautiful. The most beautiful I've seen.

His eyes were blue, bright blue

Those eyes I've seen many times in the classroom, in my dreams. 

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked him.

Rory furrowed his brows and nudged at me.

He whispered, "this is his kingdom, be loyal!"

"He's my classmate at school" I said to Rory.

The Prince frowned.

"You can leave, Rory" he said.

I was alone with him now, "Where have we met?" He asked.

"Aren't you the strange mystery guy in my class. The one whose voice brought storm."

He furrowed his brow and shrugged "I might be the one. I usually go to earth sometimes, but I come back with no memories." He said.

"You are Alec?"

"Prince Alec" he corrected.

"Why am I here?" I asked.

"You don't ask a prince such question." He snorted.

"Now! Go to your room. Your lessons start by five" he said dismissively to me.

I guess I've had enough.

Is time to wake from my dream.

I tried to wake, but I can't. I tried again. And again.

The Prince shook his head. "You belong here. There's no going back."
