A knock on the door awakes me
“Dad 5 minutes?” Jessica yells turning to her side.
I giggle sitting up
“My lady, its your breakfast” a voice calls out
“Please come in” I say and the door opens and an elderly lady walks into the room with a trolley.
“Did you sleep well miss?” She asks me
“Well ma’am. Thank you” I reply
“Master will be expecting you at the table within an hour” she smiles
“Got it. Thank you” I speak and she closes the door behind her.
“Jessica time to wake up” I call out.
“I still need sleep. Please” she covers her face now
“Jessica” I call out in an bossy tone
She jerks up “Laura please” she pouts
“Jessica we can sleep all we want when we return to earth” I say
She stares at me with anger
I go to my room after dropping Jessica at the basement entrance.‘We can’t just go unprepared' my brain speaks as I change my clothes.‘Let’s tell her I’m ready to serve her' I say aloud‘that’s suspicious’ my brain replies.I nod thinking.I sit on the bed and change my socks when a knock interrupts me.“Who is it?” I ask expecting Daisy.“It’s me” A voice replied and my heart sank‘What am I going to tell him' I question myself but reply“Yes Argon. Come on in”He walks into the room with a smiling face“Hey Laura” he speaks“Hey Argon. Thanks for yesterday. I had a great time” I say as he sits on the chair.He smiles. His eyes were longing, hey held an empty expression “Would you like to tell me now?” he asks“She is my sister” I
“Jessica, I’ve brought you a change of clothes and food” I say and hand over the bag.“Thanks sis” she takes it and walked into another room in the basement.“Do you hate me?” Nella questions when we are all by ourselves.“No, Why would I be?” I ask back “You tried your best to stop me Nella. 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. You don’t have to hide her motives” she says in a dull tone.Nella said the exact words of Daisy. She doesn’t deserve to die. She will be a good queen.“We will end her tonight” I assure NellaShe nods with empty eyes“You will be a
“Gayle inform Thaddeus to come to the palace with Eagle now” Nella orders as we tie Daisy’s arms and legs to a chair.“Should I mention any reason, princess?” he asksNella thinks for a second and answers “Tell them its time to implement the plan” she says and turns to us “Are you two sure you can hold her down for a few minutes?”“Yes yes” we reply“I’ll be back in a while then. There is something that needs immediate attention” Nella says and we nod smilingNella and Mr. White walks out of the dungeon room leaving only jessica and I with Daisy.“She looks so innocent now” Jessica speaks looking at Daisy’s face “We really can’t judge people by their appearance” she sighs“Very true Jess” I sigh sitting down on the cement bench. Jessica follows me. Daisy sat unconscious opposite to us.&n
My mouth tastes bitter and my head still stings. I open my eyes but my vision clears only after a couple of blinks. 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
“So, you’re telling me that you are from another universe?” Argon stammers like it’s the most unbelievable thing“Yes, Argon” I reply looking down. I didn’t have the courage to look him in the eye“What about your mom and sister. Is she from where you came too?” he asks with a blank expressionI nod quietlyHe readjust himself on my mattress to face me, “Laura, do you like me?” he asks“I do like you Argon” I reply bluntlyHe looks down, I feel disappointed for some reason“I would definitely stay here Argon if” I pause, he looks up to me with hopeful eyes “If not for my family. I never had a family. I grew up in an orphanage being bullied and now I have a sister, mother and father. I want to feel how it is to have a family who cares” I feel my eyes blur with tears.“Laura, I don’t know what to say. I ca
“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. It felt stuffy, “Too tight” Jessica whispered panting and we withdrew at the same time lau
{A few months later}“Aish” I sigh and swipe the alarm to snooze. It buzzes again, I roll on the bed a few times and finally sit up.The sun was about to raise in a few minutes. 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. It wasn’t many months ago when I believed that I would always remain alone on this planet with just my sweet buddy Oliver. But now I not only have I met my biological parents but also have a beautiful twin who chirps in my ear almost every second calling me sis. Such a blessing my life is.I stroll down the stairs quietly after hoping into a hoodie and jean; my regular casual outfit. Mom was already in the kitchen preparing food“Good morning mom” I wish her“Good morning love” mom greets me back and opens her arms. I rush into them and embrace her. After a brief
The chill breeze along with the sparking rays of the raising sun brought a red and bright shade to my closed eyes. I could feel the very lively surroundings and smell my freedom that was almost achieved. Just as I was about to my eyes I could feel the tiny weed saplings tickle my leg with the winds force. The smell of nature was so lovely that I would do no matter what it takes to never return to 'Zeon orphanage'. I take a deep breath and open my eyes ready for today's fight, Armed with strength and confidence yet no physical weapons. I look around and all I see is greenery and a beautiful sight.At 'Zeon, all I could see was the cemented walls. The only day I could see light was when the investors came by and the management wanted to deceive them. My friends, orphans like me would do anything to get out of there but luckily I made it. After what happen last night, I don't even know if I would ever meet them again.The chirping of the little lovely birds br

Portions work eh” she nods whispering“Let’s pick a room to crash in” I say standing up.“Sure sis. I’m dead sleepy” she complains walking out of the room ahead of me.We stand on the doorway and choose between the wooden d
