All Chapters of THE CRYSTHALIAN CHRONICLES; From Lost to Hidden: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Jolting awake I feel someone holding my head and rubbing my hair. It’s very comfortable and natural, but before I can place what is happening. a door opens and someone rushes to me. It takes a moment, but I recognize the person. “Thomas!” I squeak out, startled he looks to me and grins widely for once. Then I feel my head being shifted and I find myself staring into the gray eyes from my dreams. *No their the eyes of my father. DAD!* I just about yell in my head. His eyes squint at me and that’s when I notice his whole face. “Dad! Hi.” I whisper but when I go to touch him, he stops me and tells me to stay put. *But did he actually talk. I don’t remember his voice sounding so stereo like as it wraps around me. *No Girl he didn’t speak, you’re finally connecting with our dad. Now please focus on him so the guard can treat your wounds.* at Nadia’s word everything rushes back to me. How I was testifying or trying to ask the slim ball of a man keep tryin

---Merida’s POV--- I really didn’t want to go back to the courthouse or see that Mr. O’Neal again. But given what happened in the courtroom and how it all ended. Plus Mr. Anderson still needed to rest his case and had questions for me. *Man I hate this!* *You’re not the only one Girl! Though I do wonder what happened?* Nadia voices as I watch Amanda scurry around the room. We were once again in the waiting room but this time, there were more people in here. A counselor, a paramedic or nurse, and I think Amanda’s boss, with the way she was acting, was the only reasonable explanation. Plus, this time around there were snacks and drinks, though no one said anything I could see them watching me. I just ignored them and focused on Nadia. *Na I don’t believe you but I know it’s worthless to ask you!* I state as I look to my dad. I lean over to whisper to him but stop at Nadia’s word. *Girl it wasn’t me. I really don’t remember anyt

---Lucy’s POV--- *Shit! Shit! That was terrible.* I think as we are led into a room right off the main entrance. Jumping out of Mr. Hawkyns arms I race across the room to Meri who is crying. “I’m ok Meri! Look, I’m unhurt. I did as you asked and stayed next to him.” at the last part I whisper it to her as I hold her close. Her arms are around me and squeezing me as she wets my shirt. “We can’t stay here we need to move!” my alpha says as he gets on the phone. I don’t listen to them as I take in Meri and focus on her thoughts. It’s a risk but right now it’s warrant. *Na how is this part of your plan?* Meri demands of Nadia. *Girl this is why I wanted you to rest and let me forward. Our haters are not going to just hand themselves over when they see you. They are going to fight and won’t care who gets hurt. So please just relax and follow the plan from now.* Nadia explains so gently. I’m beyond surprised at how gentle she is wi

---Merida’s POV--- So, a lot has changed starting with my location. I am now living in a castle, in a huge room that shows one of the mountains of the islands of Crysthalle, on Crusillia island. And I even got a puppy, a pug to be more precise. I named her Ladybug and am being taught how to care for her and train her. Lady Rowana says it will help me in building my confidence and showing her how will I lead. Will that was Na’s interpretation of it, as Lady Rowana just told me I had a month to show my skills. Not that I understand a thing of what she was asking of me. But Na told me to agree, and Sarah was nodding her head to agree, so I agreed. Though what floored me was I was to help the Head Maid with her chores for the next 2 weeks as everyone else went to training to learn how to fight. Yeah, that sucked to be once again separated from everyone else. Though I was ok that Mr. Bell wasn’t here, as he had to stay behind and help with th

I wasn’t sure what to do, as no one was in the foyer. But one hope was to get attention from someone and maybe help. “That was really stupid little girl.” the guy growled as he stood up and shook the dust off his clothes. Shit he was a vampire and from his clothes and the room he found me in front of, he was one of the guests. I know he couldn’t be a council member as they were in a meeting right now but maybe one of the assistants. *There was no way I could fight him off or get him to wait until someone arrived. Help!* *Girl those pompous asses don’t care for others who aren’t in their coven. They would rather face the consequences then wait to hear anything. We need to do something.* Na rumbles, I barely listened as I watched the guy step to me, as he looked me over. “Your not a regular here. Who sent you to spy on us?” he questioned. I wasn’t sure how to answer that as why would he think I was a spy. “You should answer me before I dec
