journey

Nat...

Natalie my grandmother called hide here and never come out until all the noises and movements have stopped remember to always keep your gem never let anyone know about the gem that is embedded in your forehead that is protecting you from danger whether if it poisons in your food or someone trying to claim your life, I promise that you will be safe goodbye my lovely darling for this may just be my final farewell.

      After that my Nana left, I stayed there in the hidden room quivering in fear because of the commotion I had been hearing from the outside. I could smell smoke and blood, and I could hear people and women screaming at the top of their lungs for mercy because they were in agonizing pain.

      I heard the knights cackle as they slaughtered my family, friends and my servants who I had adored I hated this gut-wrenching feeling of pain and sadness, I hated that everyone I loved was being killed on the other side of this brick wall, I hated that I couldn't do anything because of how weak my powers are as of now, but I could only pray.

I prayed for everyone to rest well even after being killed in vain and having a merciless death, I hoped that as they passed on that they could be happy and well.

    After the knights moved out of the castle they sent in the slaves to set the castle and its rooms on fire.When things had died down I went out of the room and discovered that most of the slaves had died due to suffocation, and only a little girl maybe around three or four years old with a baby attached to her back were alive, but she was in a corner trying to fend of the flames using her hands. Enraged by the sight of this merciless act, I used my power of Mystique to drown out the flames, took the girl's hand and hurried out the room to escape smokes residue.

      I found out that the girl's name was challis, i did not like the name because it resembled that of what I called a goblet which someone drinks from, so I renamed her Fiona. It turned out that it was not just one baby Fiona was carrying on her back, but two..... but due to the smoke I could not have seen it quite well, I took one of the babies and held him in my hands then I asked Fiona what was his name, she told me that he doesn't have a name since their mother was ravaged until she died while in the process of taking four men, I was taken a back because a three year old should not know or much less speak of such words they shouldn't even be around when stuff like that was happening!. Her mother died a humiliating death at the age of sixteen, but she raised her children well even though they had to grow up in such an environment and had to watch her perform these nightly acts every time up to the point where she died.

     I turned to Fiona and with tears in my eyes and I said, my dear little sister Fiona, I will not pity you ,neither will I ever speak about or bring about your past, I will show you love and give you and my little brothers happiness and I will treat you as my own.

While wiping her tears and mine I told her that she has to promise me to become a proper young lady, one that will show kindness to others, be proud of who she is and one who would show love and care to those who are her own and for who are not but needs a friend to rely on.

       After our little  emotional discussion, went took the stairs which ventured  to  the family room but on the way down we encountered Margaret, Theodore and Hansel, they were my brother's butler, maid and dinner servant/bestfriend who he loved and adored, Margaret and Theodore were dead but Hansel Margaret's son was on the brink of death he stretch out his hand an gave me a note and also a box he said this is from Niel the closed his eyes  I quickly extended my hand and said Restore and water engulfed Hansels body and started  to heal his wounds. Meanwhile I read the letter and it said;

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

Dear Big sis Nat,

     I have been saved by Han he rescued me from being Skewered. He used an instant teleportation spell to send me to the capital of peridot which is located in NoEn I only got to write this letter because of the barrier Margaret put around me before I was sent off.

If you are still alive, and you get to read this letter please come and find me.

P.s. Also just before I left Margaret told me Theodore transported elder brother Nate into this capital as well so I will look for him.

xoxo Nathaniel

ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ

I wept in relief  to know that both my brothers were alive but the capital  in which they were both transported to was ruled by King Leon he was the new king of NoEn and took the throne at the ripe age of 22 year due to his father's passing  from hypertension. He was said to be a good king and it has also been a year since he took on his duty as king.

The people of Peridot also have good things to say about him so he must be a fine king who looks after his people so I trust that my brothers will be well.

After  healing Hansel we continued  down the stairs and arrived at the family room, I opened the door, and dropped  to my knees. I whaled at the sight of my beloved mother and grandmother laying motionless on the floor, after I got up, and I spotted feet behind the some seats which  were directly below the royal seal I walked closer and saw my elder sister flora, I was shocked.... realization hit me hard blood covered almost every  corner  of the room I was so distraught that I started  banging my fist on the ground and screaming while holding  the Kason in my arm, but Hansel and Fiona comforted me.

Hansel collected Nana's and lady Flora's gem stones and placed them  in my hand, then proceeded to get my mother's gem stone, but.. like me, her gem was embedded into her forehead, so I had to use Melrose another power of mine to retreive it, this power allowed me to shape or pass water through surfaces and withdraw objcets which are inside without damaging of hurting it. I got mother's gem, kissed my grandmother on her forehead and left the family room.

           Out of everyone in the castle besides mother, Nathaniel and big bro Nathan and Flora, my Nana loved me and treated the best. She loved every little thing I did no matter how bad or how horrible of a thing I did, she loved my siblings and I dearly but it honestly hurt that she had to leave me so soon, but I won't cry I hope she rests peacefully in the afterlife.

With the gems that Hansel retrieved for me I implanted one of each into Fiona, Malcolm, Kason and Hansel.
