The building resembled a basic mansion but definitely wasn't small. I stare in awe at the two storey building that Jessica introduces to me as 'Home' 

'This family is rich?' I think to myself.

"Come on Laura, let's get in" she says dragging my left hand.

"I still think its a bad idea, Jessica." 

"Oh come on sis, stop being a ..... " she trails off when a boy, with teak brown hair, a round nerd spectacle, wearing an oversized grey sweatshirt and khaki pant and the Nike hat backwards hit her head with the book in his right hand. 

"Where were you Jessica?" he questions.

"Miler... You little, why did you hit me and no matter where I went. What's your problem?' she asks while rubbing her spot with her palm. The stranger, eyes her doubtfully before turning to me 

"To what do I owe the pleasure of meeting you, Ms..."

"Ms. Laura. Pleased to meet you too and I'm here to ..." I stumble to answer his weird question.

    "What are you doing here? Do you work here?" I heard a voice from behind and turned to look at the person who approached me with heavy steps trying to catch up. It was Daniel."I'm sorry Laura, I couldn't stop him" says Jessica running towards me."Its fine Jessica and you don't have any business here, so please leave" I say firmly looking at Daniel."You're business is my business Laura" he says. 'What does he mean. Is he flirting with me?' I roll my eyes and approach the gates, he follows me while Jessica follows with guilty eyes."Do you know anyone here?" he questions again."I'm okay if you want to come along with me as long as you keep quiet" I say in a higher tone and he zips his mouth with his right thumb and index finger and inserts them in his pocket.I turn around and approach the receptionist,'Who is she?

    Miler climbs the stairs first and starts unlocking the door. Daniel stands next, on the 2nd step and looks at me with a puzzled expression trying to figure out what was happening to us. Jessica held my left palm trapped in her right arm like; if she left, it i'd run away. My mind was going dark and darker as milliseconds passed."Oh, my kids are home. Welcome shining stars" a voice comes from in as Miler walks into the house."Hey old man" he says and disappears from my sight after changing his shoes.Daniel takes a quick glance of me with a tiny smile and enters next "Welcome home homie".I push Jessica to get in next, she nods whispering "Sis, no matter what happens in there, remember you've got me." looking deep into my eyes. I felt her words reach deep into my soul. I nod and she goes in. The entire scene resembled a public-speaking contest and I was on nerves while the other three were cool. I shake my head.

    I sit up straight and instantly wipe away my tears, the hand remains on my shoulder. I turn to identify the person behind but my watery eyes only let me see after letting out few more drops of tears. It was Daniel, he had a small smile and concern filled his eyes."I'm fine" I lie."I'm sure you are, Laura" he says sitting on the chair beside me."What are you doing this late?""I um... drugs?" he replies and I stare at him wide-eyed"Drugs?" I repeat with raised eyebrows."Why not?""Aren't you the lollipop type?" I ask mocking him."I am every type" he laughs."Alright, so what type of drugs do you consume?""Are you interested in me Laura?" he hisses."Are you insane" I question knitting my eyes."Wasn't until I met you." he sighs.I clear my throat and say "Think this conversation is over" standing up."Follow me" he says grabbing my wrist and app

    "My baby. Wake up" I hear a sweet voice and my eyes automatically respond to it. I blink a few times before I could see clearly."Mom?" I hear my voice puzzled."Yes baby.

It was the same dungeon as earlier but mom was no where to be seen.'Is this where mom was seated?' I speak out loud and walk further to reach an wooden chair with broken ropes around. I walk around the chair to face the front side but my legs freeze and deny to step further.'Whose blood is this?' I ask.'Mom is it yours?' I question but get no reply."Mom where are you?" I yell looking around."Oh my dear Laura, Don't you want to rescue your mother? Why aren't you here yet? Do you want to loose her again?" a voice yells at me."I am searching for a portal.

I rush to the restroom and fresh up for the day.‘Today is another day we get to spend with our family' my brain says excited.

    “Have a good life” Argon wises as I step out of the car.“I wish you the best life of your choice” I wish him back and walk to the palace. The guard has smiles and opens the gate for me; it wasn’t long ago when he didn’t let me enter without the residence card. Now he grew so familiar with me that he lets me enter as its my own place. But sadly I wouldn’t stay long here. I smile at the guard and enter the gates.The entire garden was in full bloom, every single flower was enjoying the sun rays to the fullest. The gardener smiled and greeted me. I greet them back and walk past them to enter the palace.“You’re back?” Jessica questions as I walk in“Guess I am” I nod and walk up to herShe grabs me into an embrace and almost crushes me, I try to crush her with my arms too.

I roam my eyes on the ceiling before last night flashes back to me.“What happen?Did the promise nreak?Did Daisy die?What happen to mom?Is she here or did she leave already?Jessica, is she alright?” many questions swing around my head. I take a deep breath in and try to calm myself. I was on my bed in my room. Jessica wasn’t here which worried me more. I slowly sit up and look at the clock. It stroke 5.42am. I stand up and check if I felt any pain, but except in my head, there was no other uneasiness. I realise that there is no scar on my palm, the skin was clear and perfect; without a single stitch or scar. I stare at my palm for a couple of seconds before coming back to the reality.I rush to the restroom and splash some water on my face, tp assure myself I was really awake. The

Thank you”She smiles“Daisy will be here tonight at 3” I speak“How did you persuade her?” Nella asks“She wants to meet you” I hide away the reason as to why Daisy wants to meet her.“There are no relations in the palace, Laura.
