Chapter 11: The Story of Their Life

As Daisy woke up, she immediately sat down the bed, but was stopped when she felt her head throb in pain. She felt like being punched in the head for like how many times. Making her groan in pain.

"I see that you're now awake... Need something? I brought you breakfast." A voice of a woman asked, making her look at where the voice came from. There, she saw a woman in mid 30's, wearing a commoners dress and carrying a tray of food with her.

"Where... Where am I?" She asked and sat down properly.

"Don't worry, I will be the one who'll take care of you. I am Mila." She said and smiled, making Daisy look at her with familiarity. "You will be living here with us, by the queen's orders." She continued.

"The queen? Please don't say that this place is far from the palace!" She hysterically said and stand straight to ran outside, but was stopped when her head throbbed again.

"Whoa! Are you ok? Please be careful, the queen told me that you've collapsed at the palace after what you two did, that's why I brought you this foods to help you feel better." Mila said and assisted Daisy to sat back down at her bed. After that, Mila reached out for the food and felt if it was still hot or not, and when she felt it being a little bit cold, she fed Daisy. "You need to eat this, to help you regain your strength back." She said, but after eating one spoonful, Daisy felt like vomiting. "Sorry if it tastes bad. There is a medicine mixed in this food, so please bear with this for now." Mila continued and Daisy followed.

After eating, Mila went out the room to wash the dishes, but before that, she told Daisy to take a bath first and prepared her clothes. The young one didn't refused at this and just did what she was told.

A minute later, as she was brushing her hair. Mila called out and she followed. They both went to the sala and from there, they saw Mila's family waiting for them.

"Oh my god! Is that her?" One of the two children asked.

"Wow! She's beautiful!" The other said.

"Children, I want you to meet Daisy Aurum... She will be staying here for now, queen's orders." Mila said and the two nodded quickly.

"Good to have you here young one, must have been important to the palace for making you stay with us commoners huh?" Mila's husband said and smiled sweetly at her. "Feel at home as always and don't feel shy to approach us if you need anything ok? We will be doing it, as long as it's ok." He said and Daisy just nodded with a shy smile.

"Oh! Oh! Mom! Can we go outside to play? Please! Pretty please?" One of the children said and clasp it's hand while pleading.

"Even if I want you three to hang out together for your first meet, I can't." Mila said, making the two sigh. "She still needs to rest. She's not really feeling well today, so maybe you can play tomorrow if she gets better."

"Yay! Then how about we talk in her room? For her to get to know us well whole she rests?" The older one said and Mila didn't disagree with this, so the two held Daisy on her wrist carefully and drag her back to her room.

When they arrived, they took Daisy to her bed and put her there.

"Okay! So let's start talking now, shall we?" The younger one said. "We all know that you are Daisy Aurum, well I am Jaimey and this is my twin older sister Mailey." She said and smiled.

"We are just like those ordinary children out there who loves to play and do other stuffs. How about you?" Mailey asked and looked straight at Daisy.

"I am also just like you at first, or so I thought... But now, I am gonna stay here and try to stop those bad guys out there." She said making the two amazed. "What's with the face?" She asked.

"I kinda envy you sister... You have the power to stop bad people, while we? We're just waiting for the end of our lives." After hearing those words, she stand up and looked unbelievably at the twins.

"Did you really think that you can't do anything to help this place? What are you? A decoration?" She asked pissed. "Don't think about negative things. You may say anything bad about yourselves, but don't you ever forget about what others think of you guys. If you think your unworthy of anything, then your parents don't think that way. Even if you say that you don't have anything special within you, then your wrong... You just have to wait for the perfect time to find your worth." She said and walked towards the window.

"Wow! That was unexpected." Jaimey said shocked.

"Daisy... Now that you have a problem in your shoulders, what would you do?" Mailey asked and looked at Daisy's back. The latter on the other hand, went silent and sighed.

"I don't have any other choice but to take it, right? This is my destiny, and even if I don't want to, I need to." She said and went back to her bed. They went silent for a minute, but then Jaimey stopped them.

"Let's talk about other things, hmm? I don't want to talk about serious stuffs, makes my tummy rumble in hunger, because of boredom..."

"Me too! How about we talk about things that we'll be doing tomorrow? Like, playing or what?" Mailey said and they changed topics. They also laughed at their thoughts and they got well with each other. Even their parents smiles when they hear them laughing out loud.

"Why does she needs to have such a tragic fate?" Mila asked in a sad tone, talking about Daisy.

"We can't do anything about it, can we? Is it her destiny to have this kind of life... It's just up to her if she wants to change it or not." Her husband answered sadly. "The only thing that we can do, is to protect her and raise her properly... But for now, let her do what she wants, for her to enjoy her life." He continued and hugged her wife.
