All Chapters of THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

---Sarah’s POV---I really felt for her, and the fact that so much was happening, and she didn’t know. I saw Theresa wave at Ericson, who exited the room only to come back and settle on the couch as he looked at the king. I could see them communicating and Crispin was listening in, sometimes it really sucks not to have a gift. Only I was distracted as Theresa and Warrick left. Something happened, as the king’s left hand only acts when someone dies or there is an act of unspoken violence. I really wanted to ask but I didn’t want to draw attention.For I was on edge about that nightmare demon in the room. I had learned about them when I was younger but was cautioned to never interact with them. Given their nature, they can’t help but want to drain a person of their fears after making them live them. And I, being a natural born vampire I don’t have many fears, but I am many people’s worst fear. So nightmare demon’s love using us to cause terror. Many vampiric children have gone missing a

---Crispin’s POV---I didn’t mean to scare her when I growled but RJ was being reckless with my sister and my liege. I knew the king nor Eric would allow anything to happen to either one but there was still a risk of them getting injured if the couch collapsed out then inward. But I have to admit it was funny to watch Eric get swallowed up by the couch, as well as watch Sarah try to free him. Only to have RJ yank him off the couch and end up falling onto the coffee table and destroy it. Then all humor was gone, though I was happy to see the king holding Meri and behind the couch they had been sitting on but looking done I just couldn’t keep a smile on. Walking out with everyone, I held the chair for Meri and talked with the king before turning to find RJ sitting next to her.“Oh, knuckle head lose the scowl, we all want to sit next to her.” Sarah reprimanded me as she sat next to RJ. I just couldn’t believe her.So, I sat across from Meri only to jump when that girl, Jenn sat next to

---Zander’s POV---“Hey Zan, did you lock the front door?” Ma asked after cleaning the last table. Switching the burners off and putting lids on the pot and pan, I let the food simmer, as I take the keys out to Ma. “Zan don’t come out here!”Hearing the tension in her voice and the fact she was warning me, let me know something happened. Moving quickly, I snatched up the butcher knife and tucked it in my pants then grabbed the keys before leaving the kitchen. Stepping out I observed the situation and made a hutch.“Hello fellas, I’m sorry but we just closed.” I say as I moved to the first break in the bar. “Though I do have some leftovers simmering on the stove if you want that.” The two guys standing at the entrance with guns changed their stance so instead, they were pointing those guns at me.“Zan, I told you to stay in the kitchen!” Ma criticizes me as she sits at the closest stool as she was bone tired and didn’t what to deal with this.“Yes Ma, I heard you but I just couldn’t le

Before Nadia could answer I felt my mind drifting away. Something was happening and getting scared I reached out for Crispin.~(XXX)~ (^_-) ~(XXX)~Feeling him beneath my fingertips I pulled his head back. Then seeing the distance between us, I pushed him away then rolled off the bed. Getting to my feet I ran to the door, only he caught me and dragged me back to the bed.That’s when I noticed the room. There was a fire going on in the fireplace and it was made of stone instead of gray marble, wait was there a fireplace in the room. Looking around I see the four-poster bed, only it has curtains on it and the windows looked different, they should be French doors and a window just at the end of the bed, but now their windows, smaller but four of them. Looking at the other wall I see the furniture. It’s different. That’s when I notice the mirror, the thick ornate mirror next to the hard wooden dresser.The mirror alone is not what got my attention, it was the girl in Crispin’s arms. It wa

---Merida’s POV---Oh lord, could the floor just open up and swallow me whole. *Why, oh why did I have to have a reminisce of that and how does Mi know?*“Meri, I know what happened given I was there and had to deal with the fallout.” Mi explained from his position on the floor. “Though Nixie was like that. I had to clean up a lot of her messes. She just couldn't do what was expected of her or act like a normal girl of that time. Not that she was a normal girl of that era!”“What in the world are you talking about Mi? Who is Nixie?” Terry asks as he picked up the frame of the floor and looked at it. “I mean this does look like Meri but clearly this is not. Right!”“Brother, my poor twin brother. A lot is going on and one of those is that…” Lu explains as she dances to him and snatches the frame and then waves it around as to emphasize her next words, “…this is in fact Meri but a past version of Merida.”Walking past them all I leave the room and escape to mine. Only I’m not alone. I s
