Chapter 9

Classes were beginning early today, and so Lorna along with Georgina were on there way to school.

"If i could i would merely skip all this classes" Georgina said bothered.

"Tell me about it, i just want to skip to the part where i am graduating" Lorna added smiling.

"You will wait" Georgina said mockingly "you are lucky you are taking both human classes and magic classes at the same time"

"Its time consuming" Lorna said as she check on her card confirming if this was the room.

"Yeah this is it" she entered as Georgina went on to her class.

Everyone had begun class already and the lecturer was already in the class. She went slowly to her seat which was next to Derrick. Her routine today started with the human classes before later to attend the magic classes.

"Pssst!" Derrick whispered taking a quick glance to confirm whether the lecturer could see them but the class was so full people that you could actually have a conversation without the lecturer noticing.

"Are you Lorna?"

"Yeah, why?" She asked alittle concerned.

"Hunkins said , incase i cant reach them i csn use you to acces them" Derrick said "said you knew them..... a hometown friend"

"Oow, they said that" she said wondering how many more people they had told that stupid lie.

"Yeah, and i can't reach them. Have you seen them" he asked.

"No, why? what are they upto now" she asked annoyed.

"I have some important information, if you hear from them tell them to look for me" he said as she nodded and went back to his business.

"Where could this boys be?" She thought to herself. "That they haven't even gone after their mysterious cases"

After three long hours the class was finally over and the students rushed to make their way out. Lorna was asleep she didn't even know when the class was over.Derrick shook her to wake up.

"Damn this early classes" she said getting up as Derrick stood over there.

"Yeah, you are hardly around?" Derrick asked as they both walked out of the class.

"Very busy, i actually have another class before going for the trainings" she said checking her time.

"What trainings" Derrick asked.

"Oh nothing, this school club....uum see you later i will make sure i deliver your message." She said walking straight ahead to the door that lead to the other side of the school;the magic school.

Derrick rushed after her heading straight for the door. He opened and almost got confused with what he saw.

"Theres is another side of the school?" He asked himself looking around , before someone came rushing pushing him out of the door and he was back to the other human side , he fell with a thud scratching his head in confusion.He got up confused when he noticed the girl he had beeen looking for; Sofia's sister.He quickly dusted and rushed after her.

Lorna was now heading to her next class when the prince showed up next to her with a rose on his hand.

"Hey beautiful, how about a walk and let me save you from this torture called education" Prince Japheth sayed smiling at her.

"For as long as there is no penalty for skipping class and training" she said smiling back.

"Not when you are with the next heir to the throne" he said proudly putting his hand out for her to hold. Lorna placed her hand on top of his as he said some magical words and they were now in the palace.

"When will i be able to do that" she asked.

"Soon enough, i will teach you everything you need to know, but first lets get you to your todays surprise." Japheth said to her as they walked through the corridors.

" mmmh this is still the palace?" She asked looking around.

"Yeah it is very big and this is not even the whole of it" he answered her. They were now passing through the hall of heroes when Lorna stopped him.

"And whats that place" she asked remembering her dreadfull dream at this place.

"there is where the paintings of all the heroes of Hummimgheart are, its forbidden for anyone to go there" he said as she watched her eager to see that place.

Lorna stopped and looked at him "but you are the next heir to the throne am sure it won't be wrong for you to take me there" she said.

"You manipulative beautiful being" Japheth said as he led the way to the hallway. Lorna looked at the images on the wall and everything looked just as they looked in her dream , only there were no blood or battlemen or dead bodies. They walked straight to that door.

"Nthrupas" Japheth enchanted and the door opened. "Now my queen are you pleased" he asked as he show her in. She looked around not believing she had seen this exact place in her dream. What could this mean she thought. She went ahead to where the four majestic seats were.

"What is this place" she asked.

"This is a sacred place my darling" Japheth said moving around "if my mother knew we were here she would skin me alive" he said laughing. Before he got distracted as he looked again at the seats. "Something is missing,....the crowns on top of this seats!" He said in shock. Lorna remembered the crowns on her brothers head and one on her sinking into her skull , her eyes were now looking at the place she fell while in pain in her dream. When she noticed a foot, she moved closer not paying attention to what Japheth was saying. "Ooh nooo! " she screamed out loud in shock , her three brothers layed unconcious on the ground with dried blood around there head.

"What is it!" He asked coming to where she was but she moved to where he was before he came closer.

"Nothing, i am just shocked at how this place is big, what was that you said about the crowns missing"

"Ooh i thought something had struck your eyes, and dont worry about the crowns am sure my parents or the heroes know about it probably" he said unsure "you seem scared, what is is sweet darling" he said pushing a hair that was on her face aside.He was still unsure with what had shocked Lorna that much, so he made his way to where she was standing earlier, but Lorna quickly came before him, kissing him deeply to distract him. She knew if he was to see her brothers it would definately get her in trouble she hoped they were alive, as she was almost tearing up.

Japheth kissed her back, as he held her tightly. "is that a yes?" He asked happier than before.

"No, thats a thankyou for bringing me here its beautiful" she said smiling at him.

"The best is yet to come, you haven't seen my surprise for you yet" Japheth said holding her hand as they walked out of the room. Lorna looked back thinking on how she could come back for her brothers.

They were now past the hall when Lorna thought of something quickly.

She took her phone out amd quickly texted Mark

*save me , from the prince* she then pinned her location and sent the message.

As she had expected Mark was there in a short time.

"I believe someone is supposed to be training now" he said as soon as he appeared up to them. Japheth clearly annoyed looked at him angrily..

"You just won't stop uncle , will you?" Japheth said to him.

"Its duty Japheth, now i will take over from here" he said holding Lorna before they dissapeared.

They were now at the training ground.

"What was that about?" He asked her clearly not showing he was angry and happy with her all at that the same time.

'How do you reappear and disappear at a place.....incase next time i need saving without texting you" she asked him, ignoring his question.

"You can't grasp it now Charms , its simple though when you learn to control your mind, just think of the place you want to be and picture yourself at the exact place and you are there. You cant understand it now but you will be taught about it the next year. Now let's get you back to training" he said handing her the bow and arrow . Lorna took it and clearly distracted kept missing her target every time.Mark was now checking on the next student.

"Focus!" Focus!" Lorna kept repeating to herself her mind kept going back to her brothers laying unconcious on the ground.

"I can help you" a girl said behind her.

"Who are you?" She said wiping a tear on her face.

"My name is Ashly, and before you ask , yes i can read minds and yours is screaming out loud!" Ashly said to her.

"Can you help me?" She asked hopelesly.

"Yes, just as long you dont tell anyone. I can tell you also don't want to tell me who those boys are." She said.

"Okay right now , all i need is them saved" she said letting her tears fall down her cheeks helplessly.
