Chapter 8

LYRA POV.

It was already morning now. I was taken inside. I was the centre of attention and now we were sitting on the round table. I don't really understand their language so It's even more difficult to figure out things.

I needed sleep. Once this all gets over I will find a place away from them and sleep, It's impossible…

I was sitting on the very first chair near the door. This room could fit about 30 people. Its table was made with fine wood. The chair was huge and in the centre the chair was a little extraordinary. The chair itself was roaring authority.

"Босс " ( Boss) All stood from their chairs as he entered. He was the one with whom I had dinner before. His shirt was crumpled. His eyes looked tired. Before our eyes could meet I turned my head.

He definitely was the owner of this house because everybody would listen to him and he acts like he owns this.

At least I got to know his name Boss. What language are they speaking? But he spoke to me in an Language I could understand. Now I remember he wasn't present before. I was waiting for him to talk to his men and walk away but Instead he stood there, I could feel him watching me and I badly needed to pee..

I got up from my chair. Suddenly all eyes turned in my direction. This is scary. I started walking towards the exit when Boss blocked my way. I didn't look up.

"Do you need something ?" He asked.

Accepting something from you is not right for me. I stamped on his right foot using both my feets, clearly jumped on his foot and pushed him aside and walked out in search of a washroom.

I could hear people silently laughing.

Did they leave me? No..they followed behind me. We were on a totally different floor and I had no idea where the washroom was. So I opened a room. It was dark, much darker than my future. Even an owl couldn't see a thing in here.

I stood on the doorpost. Thinking if I should go inside or not but the pressure building inside was telling me to go inside. Someone from behind me switched on the lights. If you Compare this whole house's expensive interior design, this room was much more comfortable. It was simply peaceful here and one could find a completely different world here.

I stepped in. The settings in the room spoke, someone who is in love with simplicity and personal space and I liked it. I walked near the table that had a device placed on the top and as soon as I reached the table.

Ding

Something popped on the device. My curiosity made me look closer to the screen. It had a sentence written on it.

" You are born to Reign" It said.

I read the words and did it again. I sat on the chair which was paired with the table. I was waiting for the next sentences to pop but it didn't pop. I didn't move. I knew it would come sooner and as expected it arrived.

Ding

" Fairy, born to rule the crude world " I giggled.

The only thing I understood was Fairy. I know what a fairy was. They were beautiful and would help others and sometimes bless them, most importantly they have magic like in the stories. Whoever was sending messages said I was going to be a helpful person.

I almost forgot I needed to pee. I pressed both of my legs togethers the pressure building inside was much higher now. I hurriedly opened the door on the left which was attached to the room. It was filled with clothes. A room full of clothes these people seriously had a lot of space to waste. Indeed, rich people.

I turned and was ready to leave when he caught my hand and guided me towards the jointed door in the clothes room. Now there was a bathroom inside and it was huge. My mouth opened in shock. This is smart.

"Did you get hurt ? " He asked, looking at my hands, taking my hands. He was about to pull up my sleeves when I pulled back.

"Noo…" I said cheerfully. You should never reveal about yourself first without knowing the other person.

"Your hands have red marks and you look quite weak for your age" He said.

Weak for your age?? What does it mean? I didn't understand a thing.

"I don't understand what are you saying " I said

"I'll show you," He said. I rushed inside the washroom, did my job and returned.

He again took me to the table where I read the messages before. He pulled the chair and gestured to me to sit. I walked and sat on the chair while he stood near my chair. His body was really good.

He opened the device and clicked something and then clicked again and then started typing. Suddenly girls' pictures came flooding in the device. They all looked young like me.

"They all are of your age. Look at them, "he said. More like he was comparing me. They were somewhat similar to my age. They were healthy, bright smiles on their faces. Most of them have backpacks on.

" I want to meet them," I said. I didn't want to meet. I just need a way to get out of this place. As soon as he heard me, he started laughing.

"Silly Girl, you can't meet all the people online"

"Where is online?"

"You don't know what Online is? " he asked a bit doubtfully and I simply nodded. I honestly did not know about that. This was my first time seeing a device and a room for clothes which was attached to the washroom. The only devices I knew were a television and a Phone.

Here there are lots of new things which I haven't seen or heard of.

It was already overwhelming knowing so many people were leaving with me on top of that none of them harmed me.

He snapped his finger in front of my eyes. I looked at him and suddenly he cupped my cheeks. His hands were cold.

FLASHBACK

"Cold, I feel cold. My body was freezing. I needed a blanket.

"I'm feeling cold, Uncle… Take me home" I said standing before him. His tall height towering over me.

He was bending forward to pick me up but ran away. I thought I was fast and that's where I was wrong. He came in front of me.

He started laughing a little louder and even louder this time not like a normal person but like he had found the cat who stole his fish after so many years and I knew he had brought me far away from my warm home.

I was in a very distant place. Far away in the cold.

" Sshhh don't cry because no-one is going to come for you" He spoke with a sense of victory.

I stamped on his foot with all my strength and cried louder.

FLASHBACK END

"Hey.. you look pale" He shook me a little, bringing his hands to touch my forehead. I took a step back trying to ignore his actions. My back lightly hit the table behind me.

It was just a light jerk but my spine hurts like someone had hammered me. I could feel the pain even in my hair.

"You don't look good, Call the doctor fast" He shouted. I noticed something which I shouldn't have. He was concerned, He was

worried.

He was holding me for balance but It wasn't working, it was painful. This was the first time I was feeling pain even in my bones.

"You need to breathe" He said

Why do I keep forgetting to do this all the time? It's essential Lyra.

The Doctor came rushing inside the room. I slowly walked up to the bed with his help and sat on the soft mattress. The Doctor opened his bag and slowly started examining me. I however knew the results. I was doing fine, it was just some situations in my past life who were having me for Lunch.

It was difficult for me to tell these people what was going on with me. Why? Because they too were playing games with me. Once they achieve what they want they would just leave me on my own.

He injected a yellow liquid inside me. The pain was slowly reducing but not the memories. I was already lacking sleep and this injection was making my desire come true.

I was drowsy. I yawned. I can't fall asleep here. I battled with my mind. That yellow liquid was quite strong. I yawned again uncoulseiloy rubbing my eyes. That's it I can't.

"I'm sleepy" I mumbled to myself. Placing my legs on the bed. I was about to lay down.

"You can't sleep here. He would be angry, "one of them said. I was a bit too eager to sleep that I ignored him and laid my head comfortably on the pillow.

"Let her be, it doesn't seem like he would care now" Boss said and all remained quiet.

He truly was the Owner.
