All Chapters of The Lost Destiny : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Jessica hurries to the table I was seated in with a worried expression. 'I don't think we're on earth' I speak first before she could even get seated. 'Yes I found the same facts although its the same calender year' 'Where are we, if not on earth?' I ask again. 'I suggest that this is a parallel universe. We might have entered it when we touched the silver wall in the tunnel.' 'So the tunnel is a portal?' I find myself speaking again.'Yes, seems like it' Says Jessica puzzled. 'Do you have dome cash on you? i'm hungry''Let's buy something but its not much. Just a little of my savings' 'Thank you Jessica. Once we're energized let's decide on our schedule.'We order the least priced food on the menu and decide to leave the restaurant with a bottle of water and some packed snacks for the night ahead. It's half past six in the evening when we leave the restaurant. 

I wake up earlier than usual on a sunday morning. Its just 5 am and i'm already ready for the day. I try to wake Jessica who looks at the time and rolls her eyes before covering her head with the quilt. 'Its our last day here. We need to make it meaningful' I try to being her to consciousness. 'The most meaningful thing I would lobe to do is sleep. Now get off my bed Laura' I hear from beneath the quilt. 'You're hopeless. I'm heading downstairs.' I say and slam the door a little louder than required and hear a compressed scream from behind the door and walk down the stairs smiling on successfully annoying my only friend. I greet Grandma Liza and everyone else who were either knitting, playing chess, cards, reading a novel or painting some amazing landscapes. The kids were busy playing snake and ladder, word builder and a few of them were admiring the work of the elders. 'What a pleasant sight' I thought to myself. Maybe we could op

We walk into the palace gate, through the screech of the metals, mentally prepared for what lies ahead. 'Do you think she will hypnotize us into willingly sacrificing ourselves?' questions jessica. 'Let's not talk about it here. I'm pretty sure she can hear us' I whisper and Jessica agrees. We walk through the creepy out-garden and knoch on the palace door; it was the right thing to do as we were an hour early than the appointment time. The large wooden doors opened automatically allowing the chill air to gush out from the inner palace. We get goosebumps due to its suddenness. The wind had a mix of earth and anxiety; the earth from from the dead and the anxiety was the two of us standing at the entrance of our unknown future.'Welcome, my lovely children. I've been eager for this moment ever since I met the two of you' we hear the late princess from the main area. We walk slowly towards the sound. 'Greeting princess' I speak trying to so

I could feel a gentle hand caressing my hair, 'who is it?' I thought to myself. 'Is it really mother? Did she resurrect? How long have I been gone? Is Jessica alright?' many questions flood my consciousness as I try to open my eyes, that first give me a blurred sight gradually adjusting to the scene. It was the late princess, she was sitting at the edge of the single mattress; I blink twice to make sure its her and exhale 'What are you doing here? Where is Jessica?' I question.'She's still unconscious Laura, you resemble your mother in many ways.' 'Did mother return?' I ask.'Not so soon dear. She will find her way here gradually' 'How long will it take?' 'It completely depends on her willingness to meet the two of you' I turn to the window and notice the sun was out shining 'How long was I unconscious?' 'Just a fee hours dear' says the late princess in a low voice.' 'Wait, how are you even

I jerked open my eyes due to the familiarity of the person's voice. It was her, in her usual long blank panel skirt matched with a red laced blowse staring at me like I made a grave sin and the heavens would curse me for it. I could sense what was coming up next and kneeled on my left leg and started to pick up the scattered pieces of the glassware I was suppose to carry to the sink. She rushed to me stomping her feet on the marbled floor and stood to my right. She pressed her foot on my right arm that was gathering the glass pieces. The glass piece that I was about to pick up poked my arm and it started bleeding. The piece was stuck to my palm. She took away her leg and I was shocked to see my blood ooze out.'Is this how you behave, you filthy little trash' she said while pinching the helix (upper part) of my ear with force and pulling me up to my feet. My 7 year old self did noting to defend me but started sobbing. I followed holding my right palm close to my body and utte
