"Should we search the internet?" asks Jessica turning to lie on her stomach, I nod and follow her.
"Alright then" 'Witches near me' she types it on her device and within a second, drops it on the bed and crashes her head on the mattress.
"Anything useful?" I ask tilting my neck.
"Not a thing. Just eateries and shops" she replies and we remain silent thinking.
"Jessica" I call out and I jerk to sit up straight.
"What?" she asks dull.
"Let's try calling through the scar" I say and she rolls her eyes but gets up and sits straight.
"How are we gonna do that?" she asks.
"Let's try something. I'm not very sure either" I say and we sit facing eachother.
"Gimme your left palm" I direct and she follows, we interlock our palms like a handshake.
"Let's close our eyes, focus on your breath for a while and the try to have an picture of mom and focus on the details of the memory of
"Hey, Oliver" I speak through the phone. "Yes, Love. What's up? he asks panting. "Running?" I guess. "Exactly Laura. Miss you buddy. Let's race sometime" he laughs. "Definitely now focus on the track" "Will do, Ma'am" he says serious like an assistant obeying the boss "Oliver, thank you" I say. "For?" "Just know I’m thankful" I say and I hear a giggle on the other side. "Alright, I’m sure you didn't just call me to express gratitude" he says and I give in with a laugh "Do you remember the magic show that was organised last halloween" I ask "Yes, how can I forget the amazing way she sliced Fostina and Charlie into pieces" he bursts reminiscing the memory of our fellow orphans having a hard time and I respond with a laugh "Okay what about it?" he asks finally after seconds. "Do you remember her name?" I ask "Oh yes. I do, she called herself Raven" he answers
"Yes, Oliver. What did you find?" I ask attending the call as I return to my room."Raven lives in the countryside but recently has gone on a trip" he says."To where?" I ask "Did they give you a reliable contact? You're on speaker" I notify him as I turn on the speaker for Jessica to listen to the conversation as well."The number they gave me is of her residence in the countryside and I already connected there. A guy named Kristian attended the call and said she has gone to meditate somewhere and that he doesn't know where she has gone" he says."When will she return?" questions Jessica"Haven't received any information regarding that but I'll check again and call ya also I’ll send you the contact.""Alright, Oliver. Thank you" I say"Anything for you bud" he giggles."Oliver, can you come over tonight?" requests Jessica and I look at her puzzled. She winks and eyes me to join in"What is it abo
"How long is our flight?" I ask as I pack my clothes."12+ hours sis" Jessica responds and I freeze."12+?" I repeat and she laughs."Yes""Its literally an entire day" I complain and she smiles."Laura, can I come in?" Oliver calls out"Yes, Oliver. Come on in" and pause "I thought you would go to Zeon to pack your stuff" I say as he enters."Yeah, I was leaving but wanted to have a word with you before that" he says, and I nod"Go ahead""First of all, thanks for the celebration today. I have no words to express how much I loved it""Welcome but you should be thanking Jessica. She was the one who planned each and every part of the celebration" I give her credit and he looks at her smiling with gratitude. While Jessica has an embarrassed look on her face."Alright now. Is that all?" I ask putting in a denim shirt into the suitcase."No, when did you plan this trip?" he
"Here is your breakfast, ma'am" says the air hostess holding a tray out from a trolley."Thank you" I smile and take my plate of noodles. Dad booked the same for all four of us."Laura, do you have a dream?" Daniel questions taking in a bite."A dream?" I asked confused if he was refering to the dream I had last night or something else."Yeah, like a goal" he explains"Not really. A few days ago it was escaping Ms. Catherine" I reply 'and now it's to save mom fand bring her to earth' I say in my head."Ah" he says and continues eating."Do you?" I ask"Yes. I want to be a jockey" he answers proudly."Racing horses?" I clarify and he nods lost deep in thought "Is that why you joined the club?""Partly but more because of my crush" he says looking at me now."Oh, you have a crush?" I ask furrowing my eyebrows."Had a crush" he corrects me "It's been seven years now a
"What is it?" she asks yawning."Its better if we leave before 6" I tell her."I'm loving it here" she says and rolls onto her left side and covers her head with the spongy quilt.I shake my head and get up preparing for the day. 'Which toilet should I use? The right or left?' my brain questions.'Does it even matter?' I speak loud with a tooth brush dangling between my teeth. I choose the right one though.'Should I use the shower or tub?' my brain questions again.'Shower' I reply and walk into it.'Why not the bathtub? We might never get the chance again' my brain confuses me.'I've decided' I say again and fill the tub w"Jessica, wake up" I shook her at 4.51 lying awake on the bed.ith lukewarm wate and drop in a lavender bath bomb.'This restroom is so confusing' I complain again trying to pick a bathrobe. There were six colourful bathrobes that hung on the cabinet; two terry-cot
"What are you having?" Oliver questions as we finish our starter and main breakfast course."I'm having a vanilla" I reply."A choco muffle" Jessica reads from the menu."A black current" Daniel says."Very well" he looks at the waiter at orders "Vanilla, choco muffle, black current and a blueberry shake""Will that be all sir?" questions the waiter with a smile."Yes, thank you" he replies and we wait for the desert."What are you planning for later?" Daniel questions me."We're going out. Only Jessica and I" I specify."Why can't we join?" He asks looking at me."It's our girls time" Jessica answers."Is it?" he asks staring at my eyes."It is" I smile reassuring."Jess, would you like to take a walk to the aquarium there?""Yes definitely. I was planning on it" She beams looking at the large aquarium that served as a wall between the front area and
In a minute I felt the floor underneath my legs. It was solid. I slowly open mu eyes to discover a strange busy area. Not sure if it's Earth or Bazoda although the winds suggested it was the latter.This would be Times Square if on Earth. People flooded the place brushing past me. The most populated commercial area I have been to.'We need to be certain of our location first' my brain suggests.'This feels like Bazoda, though. I spell wickedness in the air' my heart whispers.'I agree' my brain agrees but still insist.I take a few steps ahead and pause near a teenage boy, who was trying to fix his cycle chain. He must be a few years younger than me; I guess."Hey kiddo. What planet is this?" I ask directly trying to sound like an elder person. He gives me a weird mocking stare."You're older than me but much foolish" he laughs and gets back to his tire.Maybe I should reframe the sentence "Have you met the princess
"Why is it so dark?" I find my voice echoing in the darkness."Mom... Mom where are you?" I repeat walking further into the dungeon.This place has a single window and the setting sun makes it even harder to see anything.I dimly notice a woman with her head hung low without balance or energy, her hands and legs tied to an wooden chair. She looked so week and almost lifeless."Mom?" I find my own voice as my legs rush towards her. I pull her up and rest her neck on the rail of the chair."Mom? Mom? Wake up please" I jerk her as tears roll down my eyes.'Are we too late?No NoDaisy won't let anything happen to mom. No wayWhat is this then?We need to get mom out of here' my brain commands one after statement after the other.I unfasten the ropes and feel wetness all over mom's jean. It was blood from the promise scar. Her hand was still bleeding d
