#12: The Human World(Pt.2)

The maids led me to a huge room, designed quite well, the room had an attached bathroom, it was small considering our palace. There was a thing called 'shower' which is just artificial rain, there were no bath tubs, I wasn't accompanied by any servants which I felt was very comfortable.

During baths in the palace, I would be surrounded by all a few who would spy on me on behalf of my family and few for the ministers, judging my every move which may hold any secret whatsoever.

The palace complicated a simple thing as bath as a sign of war declaration. The 'shower' was quite enjoyable, my hair could be washed easily, though, it felt weird me bathing on my own, but it was a good experience. Afterwards I was given a robe, which could serve as a towel and a dress. I was given a jeans , a black top with some cartoon figure printed over and a jacket of the same material as the pants.

I was soon led to the room, where the doctor was diagnosing Jade. The doctor, was a bit tensed, and came towards, Mr. Storm. He spoke, no whispered something and Mr. Caesar looked over to me.

"Is your brother medically or physically challenged in any way? ", he asked

" None I know of. ", I said

" Well, yout brother has quite a unique composition of body. ", he said

" Unique? What do you mean? ", I asked.

" Nothing, just that he is a bit... different, nothing bad of course. ",

"Ohh.", I sighed thankfully they don't suspect much.

The doctor left, I sat beside the boy and the servants too left us. I moved my fingers through his hair, his blonde hair reminded me of Leo, what is Leo doing? Is he searching for me? I don't know. I don't even know what I am doing. But a few things were clear, I had to meet my nanny, find out why she named me and ran away, and... I don't know... what is the whole meaning?.....

"Hmm.. ", Jade grumbled.

" Are you awake? ", I asked.

"Hmm? ", he opened his eyes, revealing golden eyes, similar to the rabbit from before.

" Hey", I said.

"Mommy? ", he asked.

" Mommy??? Uh... no... I am your sister. ", I lied.

" Mommy!! ", he shouted and hugged me.

" No no.. I am just sister. ", I said trying to push him away but yes his shouting alerted the servants and Caesar too came.

" He is awake? ", he looked over.

" Apparently yes. ", I said. Trying to stop Jade from hugging me.

" Mommy.. ", he whimpered and hugged me tighter that I could not breathe.

" Mo.. mmy? ", Caesar looked at me with his gaze questioning me

"I look a lot like our mom! ", I lied again.

" hmm. ", he said.

" Your brother must also have slight amnesia considering you both had a weird effect. Probably a wormhole effect. ", he said.

" A what? ", I asked.

" Teenagers ... uh... what are they even teaching at school these days! ", he grumbled putting his hand over his head.

" Mommy where is Dad? ", Jade asked.

" Dad... is probably out of town... ", Caesar said.

" Umm.. ",

" It's better we continue with what the child believes. ", Caesar whispered into my ear.

" Yea.. Jade. ", I said.

" Jade? ", the boy looked at me.

" Isn't that your name? ", Caesar asked him, and Jade looked at me.

" Jade is your name. ", I said.

" Yes, grandfather! My name is Jade! ", he said hugging Caesar

" Who's your grandfather?! I am just 35! ", he shouted.

" Chorry. ", Jade said pouting.

" How can you shout at a child like that! You were the one who told to go with the flow! ", I said.

" But! .. Ok I am sorry Jade, but I am not your grandfather ok? " , he said ruffling Jade's hair after composing himself.

"hmm ok. ", Jade said.

So, we all had food, the fact that I was getting such a good Treatment something fishy, thankfully the cutlery here were made of steel rather silver.

The house was peculiar in its own way, I always heard about humans living with their kin, family, friends or whoever. But this mansion seemed lonely, though a bit bright, it was lonely.

"You're unmarried? ", I asked.

" Yes, but I don't need a kid to tell me that. ", he said

" Why? Let me guess, Mr. Grumpy here has anger issues. ", I said. I knew I was too casual and rude but I felt comfortable around him.

" That's not it! ", he said scowling at me.

" Yes yes, uncle. ", I said.

" Uncle! ", Jade followed me.

" What Uncle!!! I am not you both kids' uncle! I would never! ", he said.

" Never? ", Jade looked at him with puppy eyes and a pout.

" I... uh... mean... umm.. I... please... just eat", he said almost defeated by Jade's eyes.

"Yes,... Uncle. ", I said

" You!!! "

...

After eating, we were lead to a room, a sort of meeting room. But only, me, Jade, Caesar and a other person were there, the other guy introduced himself as Dr. Brian, he was almost the same age as Caesar but looked slightly younger, he was a doctor of space studies..? Apparently he had a 'Ph. D' not one but three..

He was called here to explain about the strange phenomena which had occurred at the place they found us.

"Strange phenomena? ", I asked.

" Well, to sum it up easily, we found you in the middle of the Sahara. ", he said.

" The what? ", I asked.

" Um, the Sahara, the largest desert? ", the science guy said showing a huge picture of sand .

" I don't think so, we were found in a forest..? ", I said.

" Well, it was a desert until today. ", Caesar said.

" Exactly. Something strange occurred which even blocked all the satellites working above it to record the geography changes. In a minute, the network was back on but the desert disappeared and the forest appeared, a lush green forest which was never possible. ", he said.

" But... how? ", I asked.

" That's what we expect to know from you two. ", Caesar said.

" Us? But we already told you! I don't remember anything! " I said. I was lying again, but I knew better than to say out my identity to him

"Yes, I know, but you both were the only ones there when it happened, you might know what happened but since it happened so suddenly your brain might have taken it as a trauma and made you forget it temporarily. ", Brian said.

" Well, now the next problem, is that, the forest disappeared. ", Brian continued.

" Disappeared? ", Caesar asked shocked.

" Yes, this morning, at 12, it disappeared.

"But that was when we boarded the plane to come here. ", Caesar said.

" Yes, the locals all were dazed the whole time, the total time, the forest was present was, at most 10 minutes only.", Brian said.

"So, what do you think might have happened? ", I asked, looking as shocked as they were.

" It could be a wormhole. ", Caesar said.

" Yes, I agree. ", Brian said

" Wormhole? ", I asked

" A sort of break in the space-time which temporarily connects two places together, like a Portal.. ", Brian said.

" Ohh.. like a portal.. but isn't that fiction? ", I said.

" Yes, but theoretically it is possible. ", he said.

" Then, you both probably got stuck in a wormhole and are the first people to ever do that! ",Caesar said.

" Maybe. I just want to not get in trouble or anything which jeopardizes mine or my brother's safety. ", I said.

" Hmm okay. But would you like to continue your school? ", he asked.

" I think I completed it. ", I said. I don't know what he meant by school, if it was like what I had in palace, the etiquette class... no thanks!

" Hmm, then college. I will look over that for you kid! ", he said.

" Um no thanks, if possible, I and my brother would like to go now, I have a slight memory, ", I said.

" A memory? ", he asked.

" I remember being told, that Gregory Sterling is my relative. ", I said.

" Who? ", Brian asked.

" Gregory Sterling", I repeated.

"It's not The Gregory Sterling right? Not whom I am thinking right? ", Brian asked.

" I meant the founder of Sterling Corporation, Is it existing? or is it just my imagination? " I asked.

"Well, Gregory Sterling exists, but is he you relative? ", Caesar asked.

" Um, yes. ", I lied once again.

" Hmm since your so called relative is apparently the world's richest man, he is now in another country. I don't think you, a normal 18 years old girl could possibly meet him. ", he said.

" he is what? ", I almost shouted.

" You didn't know he is rich? ", Brian asked.

" I only have this card, I didn't know he was rich. ", I said showing them my card.

" Hmm, it is an authentic one and a quite old one too,", Brian said after looking at it. I quickly put it back in.

"Well, looks like your stay at my house increased and of course I shall take the bill to your relative. ", Caesar said and he got up.

" You're going... again? ", Brian asked. In a very annoying tone , if he could speak that way it meant they were close,

" No.. I m not. ", Caesar said and left.

" wait for me then! ", Brian followed giving me a hand wave as he left

We both stayed alone, Jade was playing with the belt on him , and asked me,

" Mommy, hungry. ",

" I am not your mommy, but here, ", I gave him a chocolate loli pop which I found near the dining area.

" Mm! Yum! ", he said.

I don't know what, but he certainly was not human, he smelled a bit different... Is he a elf? a rabbit? but I was certain, considering there was no one else beside me when I woke up except him he should be the rabbit.

But how did the rabbit turn into a human, I mean a boy, the worst part of my fear, that this boy was so powerful, he might have caused a forest to bloom wherever he was. If he was the rabbit, that would explain the throne room and the other places, where it would suddenly look like a garden wherever he was there.

Jade must be an elf, but with ridiculous amount of magic! Oh no... does he have parents? Are they worried? but how can I even take him back?... is the portal still there?... I need to talk to Mr. Sterling to know!
