Meet Me In The Afterlife

Chapter 2.

* The kingdom of OZ*

*Polin Forest*

*Panting*

Soldier : Sir, there's no sign of her.

Lucas: We have no other choice but to keep searching.

Soldiers : Understood sir.

Somewhere in the forest, there was a hut and the young witch lays there.

*Flipping pages *

Sabrina : Huh, this book is rather amazing and the spells of mother and father. It's so rare.

A dark figure tossed the door and she turned around sharply.

??? : Someone's having a good time and forgetting all about me.

Sabrina : Who are you?

??? : All these years we've been apart from each other and here you are, saying you don't know me.

They both burst out laughing at themselves and they embraced.

Sabrina : I missed you so much, Evelyn.

Evelyn : Me too.

Sabrina : So how was tour trip? Did you get anything for me?

Evelyn : No i'm sorry. But i'll bring something next time.

Sabrina : Well that's disappointing. Anyways I want to learn from you mother and father's spells.

Evelyn : * What makes wanna learn her parents magic spells? Is she sensing i'm not her sister? * Well, sure. But later okay?

Sabrina : No problem, sis. I'll be out in the garden, call me if you need anything.

Evelyn : Sure.

* Door opens and closes*

Evelyn : When will you just stop? You can't be powerful more than me until I take revenge on the kingdom of Glamour.

* Birds chirping *

* Humming softly *

Sabrina : Mother, I wasn't even able to see you before you died. I really wonder if I look exactly like you.

In a distance, footsteps were heard out of the barrier and she looked ahead to see where the noise was coming from.

Soldier : Sir, I can see a little hut not far from here.

Lucas : Good work, let's move!

They ran straight ahead towards the path of the hut. As they arrived, the leader tried to enter but all his efforts went in vain. Until he saw a little entrance and they went in. Sabrina saw the bushes rattling and held a stick then Lucas came out first and she yelped.

Sabrina : Who are you?!

Lucas : Calm down.

Sabrina : I said who are you?

Lucas : My name's Lucas.

Sabrina : Where did you come from?

Lucas : From the kingdom of Glamour.

Sabrina : Are there any more of you?

Lucas : Well...

The eight soldiers rose on their feet.

Sabrina : Okay, come on in.

Lucas : Thank you.

They all went into the hut then she went into the kitchen and came back with food and drinks.

Sabrina : So, anyone hungry?

They all nodded with smiles on their faces then started digging into the food.

Few minutes later.

Lucas : Thank you.

Sabrina : My pleasure. Anyways, what made you come here?

Lucas : We came in the name of King Stanley to come and summon the great witch and wizard 's daughter to the palace.

Sabrina : Really?! I'd love to go with you but I'll talk with my sister first excuse me.

She woke up and entered a room.

Lucas : Sister? The king didn't mention that she had a sister.

Soldier : Maybe her parents had her after the war twenty years ago.

Lucas : Maybe you're right.

* In Evelyn 's room*

Sabrina : Evelyn, I need to talk to you about something.

Evelyn : Why the serious look on your face?

Sabrina : A bunch of men are out in the sitting room and the king summoned me there.

Evelyn : Okay, but if you wanna go there's no problem with that.

Sabrina : Okay, then see you! I love you.

Evelyn : Me too, have a safe trip.

*Door closes*

Sabrina : I'm ready to go now.

Lucas : Great, shall we?

Sabrina : Sure.

They left the hut and the path through the Polin Forest was dangerous, but with Sabrina they made it through the forest safely.

They later on hit the road and headed to the palace. A guard saw them on horses and said to the others.

Soldier : Open the gates!!

The gates flew open and they rode in and stopped in the palace entrance.

* In the throne room*

* Door opens*

Guard: Your Majesties, they have returned.

King Stanley : Call them in.

Chapter 3.

King Stanley : Alpha, Let them in.

Alpha : Yes, Majesty.

He opened the door letting them into the throne room. They walked forward and bowed to the king and queen.

Lucas : Greetings your Majesties.

Queen Halsey : Lucas, what happened there?

Lucas : My queen, the journey there wasn't as easy as I thought. But on the way back she helped us surpass all danger which laid within the forest.

King Stanley : What's your name young lady? Sabrina : Sabrina Voiliante, your Majesties.

Queen Halsey : oh, the daughter of the great witch and wizard of this kingdom.

Sabrina : YourMajesties knew my parents?

King Stanley : Not only did we know them but we were best friends and our royal advisors.

Sabrina : Oh.

Queen Halsey : Sabrina, you look tired. Lucas you do the honors?

Lucas: Come i'll show you to your chamber.

Sabrina : Okay.

They left the throne room and headed to the hallway. On the way, she had alot on her mind but didn't wanna talk about it.

Lucas : Are you alright?

Sabrina :...

He looked at her face, while she's staring at the floor with emptiness on her face. He stretched out his hand but withdrawed it. They arrived at the end of the hallway and still, no reaction on her face. He opened the door and she deliberately ignored him and entered inside then slowly shut the door not to cause further problems.

Lucas : I hope you're okay.

* Sobbing *

Sabrina :...

* In the throne room *

* Door opens and closes*

Queen Halsey : Lucas? What's the matter?

Lucas : Your Highness, do you think something 's wrong with Sabrina?

Queen Halsey : No.

King Stanley : Why ask that so suddenly?

Lucas : Cause she didn't even react to the words I said.

King Stanley : Maybe she can't still bare the fact that her parents are no more.

Lucas : Alright then.

Queen Halsey : Lucas, it seems you've started caring for her.

Lucas : I just want to cheer her up. Besides, I was like that before when my parents died and when you found me.

Queen Halsey : That's true. But just give her more time to open up to you, okay?

Lucas : Sure, i'll take my leave now.

King Stanley : You may go now.

Lucas : Thank you.

He walk out of the room and closed the door behind him. He took ten steps forward and looked right towards the royal garden then saw Sabrina looking at the flowers blooming with bright colors. He hesitated for a bit, but he decided to head in her direction. As he arrived, he called out to her and she slowly turned around and the wind blew through her her hair and the sun reflecting on her white skin which made more beautiful.

Sabrina :...

Lucas : Sabrina? Are you really alright?

Not a single word came out of her mouth. Only the space of emptiness and sorrow was seen in her eyes and he still tried to speak to her.

Lucas : If you don't wanna talk, i'll let you be. I just wanted to see if I could cheer you up a little bit.

He turned around walking away slowly and then she spoke to him.

Sabrina : Could you come back? D... Don't leave.

He started approaching her and stood in front of her looking straight into her eyes.

Lucas : I thought you'll be cold to me like that forever.

Sabrina : When I was still a young girl... My father will always walk with me in our garden and tell me stories about my mother. How brave she was, how beautiful she was till the day she left us.

Tears started running down her cheeks.

Sabrina : Too bad I didn't have the chance of seeing her or experiencing the love a mother in my life. He told me I look exactly like her, I was strong like her and beautiful just like her. After that he got seriously ill, I did my best to keep him alive and well but he couldn't just bare the pain or see me suffering for his sake so he just left me all alone. My life was incomplete without them in it. That's why every day, I visit their graves and wish they were both here with me to do magic spells, to have great moments together as a family but all that was in vain.

Lucas : I didn't know you went through alot by yourself.

Sabrina : I just can't take it anymore, sometimes I wish I was dead!

Lucas : Hey, hey look at me you can't go on saying things like that. I'll make you fell the love of having a loved one once again, I promise you.

Face filled with tears, she hugged Lucas tightly not letting him go away from her side. Lucas : Can we be friends?

Sabrina : Okay. Friends.

Chapter 4.

In a corner stood the king and queen and they witnessed what was happening to her and pittied the girl.

Queen Halsey : Oh my, I can feel her pain deep inside of me.

King Stanley : We need to keep sober from the bad memories of her parents.

Queen Halsey : But how?

King Stanley : My darling, just let Lucas handle it. Let's go back.

Queen Halsey : Okay.

*Door closes*

Lucas : Would you like to pick flowers with me? You know just to cheer you up?

Sabrina : I'd love that.

The both of them walked around picking up the colorful blossoms and to her she felt a part of her life returned to her once again. The moment they spent together was worth cherishing .

* In the throne room *

King Stanley : Any news yet?

Guard : No, your grace.

King Stanley : I need you to search the whole house, if she's buried there along with her husband.

Guard : Yes, my lord.

King Stanley : Make sure this stays between the two of us.

Guard : You have my word.

King Stanley : Fine then, you may go.

He turned and left the room in a haist while the king looked out the window speaking to himself.

King Stanley : * I wouldn't want my people to suffer from my mistakes. I will make this right again, somehow*

Later at night , sabrina and Lucas spent time with each other all day long. They spoke about their past and got to know one another for the better. Suddenly a maid came running into the garden.

Lucas : Whoa! Slow down. What's the matter?

* Breathless *

Maid servant : General, Miss Sabrina. The king and queen requests your presence in the Dining room.

Lucas : Thank you, you may go.

Sabrina : Can we go now before I die?

Lucas : Fine, fine.

He held her by the hand and headed for the Dining room. When they arrived, the king and queen were both waiting on the table then they quietly sat down beside each other. * Thinking *

Sabrina : * This is such an awkward moment. By the way, I wonder why they keep staring at us like that*

King Stanley : Sabrina, tell me. How did your parents die?

Sabrina : Uh... My mother died when she was giving birth to me, while my father died from the shock of her death.

Queen Halsey : Poor thing. I'm sorry for your loose.

Sabrina : It's okay. Anyways, they can't come back anymore.

King Stanley : Do you miss them?

Sabrina :... Yes, I do miss them so much.

The emotions mixed up inside of her and tears welled up in her eyes. Then she stood up and said.

Sabrina : I'm sorry but, I have to go now.

Lucas : Sa...

He couldn't just watch her look so down and he ran after her.

Queen Halsey : Lucas?

Lucas : Your Highness, please let me take care of it. Goodnight.

* In her bedroom*

* Knocks on the door*

She sat at the corner of her room covering her head into her knees sobbing uncontrollably.

Lucas : Sabrina, it's me Lucas. Can I come in? No answer. He decided to enter her room and saw her beside her bed cuddling up in her knees.

* Speaks softly *

Lucas : Sabrina.

Sabrina :...

He didn't wait for an answer and wrapped his arms around her patting her head. All she left was soft sobs but tears still breamed in her eyes.

Lucas : Sabrina, don't cry anymore. My heart aches to see you this broken.

Sabrina :... They kept on reminding me of their death.

Lucas : I know you're hurt by what they did but please don't make yourself suffer like this.

Sabrina : Lucas, I...

He pressed his lips on hers and her held her tightly swearing never to let her go.

Sabrina : Erm... Lucas...

Lucas :...
