Chapter twenty five

****ULKA KINGDOM ****

* Finally ,she uttered in tears as queen Myel rushes to her .

Just when she was about to speak ,the impossible happened *

Lauren ,what's wrong ? ,Myel asks as she begins burning up as if she has been set on fire . Her hair turns white and her fingers begin to elongate .Her eye balls accented the colour of fire been lit .

*Myel begins to take steps backwards but a driving force keeps pulling her closer and closer to fire .

Who are you ,she asked or better still what are you ? ,she asked again as the room had become heavy as if there was the possession of a magical realm but surprisingly ,there was no pinch of fear drawn on Myel 's face .

She kept on questioning the other side of Lauren until a driving force separated them .

Myel found herself lying on her bed as Lauren sat down by her bed side just like earlier .She had become Lauren ;the one Myel knew and called friend and not what she was minutes ago .

****MUGAL KINGDOM ****

Laura was standing beside Krystal on her bed side as Krystal was lying down on the bed by a single flaunt caused by an unknown driving force some minutes ago .

Who are you ? ,she quickly jumped off from her bed and stood right in front of Laura while their gazes met .Krystal was not afraid about the consequences ;all she cared about was knowing the true identity of Laura and nothing else .

I thought you considered me a friend ,she continued to speak ,then why is that I feel betrayed ,Laura .Answer me ,she shouted .

***ULKA KINGDOM ***

I don't know whom I have lived with for all these years .I don't know whom I have cried and unleashed my pain on .I don't know what true friendship means anymore .She steps down from her bed and directs her gaze towards Lauren who was standing in front of her with her head bent down as tears began to flow down her cheeks . A powerful wind blew and lifted her hair off her face and her gaze met Myel 's .

***MUGAL KINGDOM ***

Will you speak or should I make my decision ,Krystal asked as her eyes had tears indicating how much their friendship meant to her yet ,she was feeling betrayed.

****LAURA'S POV ****

The pain buried within me blossoms every now and then .Leading the way to my truth unapologetically .

It takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow and in the same manner ,it takes courage ,trust and honesty to build a relationship .

**ULKA KINGDOM **

I'm waiting for an explanation Lauren, because for me ,this relationship we share is precious to me .I respect this relationship a lot and that is why in the name of this relationship ,I'm asking you that if you ever cherished this relationship somehow in your life then you won't make me stand here and still be quiet to my questions .

***LAUREN"S POV ***

We shuffle through faces like songs in our playlist till fate brings us home .

I always waited through your phases ,Myel .

They say that when life gets blurry ,you should adjust your focus .

**MUGAL KINGDOM **

*LAURA'S POV *

I adjusted my focus when life got blurry and saw your reflection .That was when I got to know that I have finally stepped into light for the first time .

**LAUREN'S POV **

I kept on walking in your light and made sure never to surpass your shadow .

I was born from the prophecy of a great seer who foresaw the revelations of my birth decades before I was born .

After my birth ,I was given out to Tamini ,the daughter of the seer who foresaw my birth ,to raise me up because my parents couldn't control me when I was possessed . I was possessed by a generational curse which destroyed everything it touches and sees ,so the seer told my parents to terminate me in my mother's womb but my mother wasn't willing to give up on me . After a year of my birth ,my parents gave birth to my sister Laura .They moved out to settle in another kingdom but were brutally killed by their king .My sister became a maid working all day long for the king .

During those moments of my life ,I still couldn't control my possession so before Tamini passed away ,she performed chants and broke off my possession .That was when she told me about my sister Laura .I was then a child .She led me into this kingdom and told me to follow my fate .The head hand maiden of the whole kingdom who is no more brought me up .

**LAURA'S POV **

Before my parents passed away ,they told me about my possessed sister Lauren who was in another kingdom .They told me that by now,she has been broken of her possession by a powerful seer they handed her over to .

But when you fell off the stairs and you weren't waking up the other day ,desperation set in and I got possessed all of a sudden .I know nothing about herbs but I suddenly got controlled by a driving force which resurrected you with those herbs I prepared .

Some moments ago ,when I wished that the pain would be healed off from your feet along with your bruises .I got hit by a driving force and I began to recite words and before I could realize ,I was down with my elongated fingers and hair .

****LAUREN'S POV ****

Tamini died breaking my curse as proposed by her mother who wasn't in agreement even when she took me in .Her mum passed away two years after her daughter took me in .

Her last words were , 'you will die breaking her curse my daughter so reconsider your decision ' then she finally breath her last but Tamini wasn't ready to give up on me so she died after my curse was broken .While I was staying with her ,she taught me about herbs of resurrection and clearing out pain .That was how I learnt how to use the hum herbs along with the oak leaves .

After her death ,I encountered her spirit three consecutive times saying ' I will be back when you need me '.
