All Chapters of The Lost Destiny : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

'Laura, Laura wake up. Please don't scare me. Wake uppp, open your eyes' I heard someone sob and yell at a distance. 'Are you even breathing?' after a pause 'Thank heavens. Please wake up soon. It's scary here'.I flicker my eyes for a while to clear and adjust to the dim surrounding. I couldn't feel pain in my body except at my wrist and ankle. I take deep breaths sending gushing air into my system to regain energy to straighten my posture. I sit up slowing with some difficulty.'Laura, thank heavens. I was so worried' I hear Jessica. 'What happen. Are you alright?' I speak in a huffed voice.'I woke up a while ago and noticed we're tied up. I don't even recognise the place' her words make my eyes open wide. 'We're tied up?' I repeat and examine my body. The pain was due to the jump rope that was cuffed around my wrist and ankles. 'Who did it?' I ask looking at her who was tied the very same way. 'I'm unsure. Nobody entere

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.

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. 

"Laura, wake up" I hear Jessica."What?" I ask turning on my back."On your feet" she remarks."Why?" I ask annoyed."Let's go somewhere" this line of her's reminded me of the place I’m in. I jerk up straight 'How can I sleep in on my first day at father's house' I question myself. "Here, change into them sis. Will let you know about our day when you're ready" She hands me a blue jean and an oversized white shirt with red spots. I rush to the restroom after looking at the clock, it said 5.50 am. After a nerve comforting shower, I get dressed and get out pulling up my hair into a pony. "You're beautiful sis" she sings loudly as I step out, I smile and nod. "Should I cook breakfast?" I think out loud."No. Definitely not. Its Miller's turn to cook today and its almost ready""Do you regularly wake up this early?" I ask "No, we wake up very late. Today is an exc

"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 is me" she says with a smile."What are you doing here, mom" "I'm here to see you, love""But, I thought you would return" she gives a dim smile and says"There are some things that stopped me" looking sad."What is it mom? Is it the late princess?""Let it be Laura. I just wanted to see you" "I am right here mom" I say trying to comfort her."I missed you, darling""I missed you so much, mom" I say with tears. "Did you meet Jessica? Shall I call her?" I ask and mom just shakes her head looking down."Is something wrong mom?" I ask looking at her grim expression and look around to see why. This isn't father's house. "Is this?" I ask looking at her."Yes love, this is Bazoda" mom answe
