Chapter 42 ( I am from the past but lived in the future?)

Looking around. it was a small room that had a lot of luggage and the smell of herbs danced in the air.

" you are awake " I heard a small cute voice. tuning my head to the direction the person spoke from. I was shocked by the person sitting in front of me.

" you?" it was the little girl from the library. " what are you doing here and what is this place?"

" give me a minute. I will call the chief" with that she ran out of the room, closing the door after her.

" the chief?" I was confused " what chief? " suddenly all the voices I heard when I was unconscious, replayed in my head " yeah. I am not in Bengland " whispering to myself. I began to study the room again. I noticed I wasn't lying on a bed, it was a mat and next to where the girl was sitting earlier was a bowl of water and a rag inside. I raised an eyebrow wondering what it was for. the room was so ancient. " this person needs a bit of modernization" I said.

I waited for a while but no one showed up. removing the sheet from my body, I used my hand to support myself while I push myself up " holy shit " I cursed at the pain that followed. my head and leg were hurt as hell.

I noticed I had a bandage around my head and another below my right kneel " where did I get this injury from." asking myself.

I made my way towards the door. I was about to touch the handle when the door suddenly opened revealing a very pretty woman in her late thirties " oh " she had a nervous tone.

" hey," that was all that came out of my mouth. he had curly red hair like mine, a pointed nose, and dark brown eyes and the smile she gave was breathtaking

" Natalie" she calls. my name coming out of her mouth had so much love. I could feel it. I took a few steps back so she will be able to enter. she entered and closed the door behind her " let's sit down and talk " she was so nervous. but why

" oh..ok " nodding my head. I walked back to the mat and sat down. she sat on the floor in front of me, crossing her legs like an accent priest " oh " I did the same and found her smiling

" you are cute," she said and I was shocked.

" what?"

" just ignore me " smiling. there was a long while of silence. I kept wondering why she wasn't saying anything when it was clearly written on her face that she had a lot to say

" so where am I. where is Rowan " breaking the silence

" you look so much like your father " my eyes fell wide open.

" you say what now?" blinking in confusion

" your father. my brother "

" hmmm. ma'am, I think you got me confused with someone else. I don't have a father. I mean my father is King Robert " she giggled " I am serious "

" I know you are " her tone suddenly becomes serious " you are not King Robert's daughter"

" fuck " my heart raced in fear. how the hell did she know

" it was all Luna's doing"

" You know Luna?" I knew heard the confusion in my tone. how does she know Luna? is this a prank or something? what is going on

" Yes," she replied, " when she told me that it was time to bring you back I was the one who suggested that she makes King Robert your father so it will be easy to get into Bengland and meet with Rowan before it is time for the Awaken..."

" what the fuck are you talking about" cut her off " you know I am from the future"

" I think it is best if I tell you everything from the start " she suggested

" Please do "

" After defeating Randon. My grandmother Audrey Left to come to settle here with my mother. it was just a forest back then. she came with the golden stone. Years past the place began to grow and my grandmother began to master the stone. "

" the only woman who fought Randon was your grandmother?" I was stunned

" yes. but I didn't really know her. when I was born. that period was when she got obsessed with the stone, mastering its magic. she locked herself in a room and came out once in a while. mostly at night to tell us stories. " The woman smiled, " she tells the best stories. with time My grandmother became the master of the stone. they called her Aguya "

" Mistress of fire " I whispered

" yes. Mistress of fire. with its power. she protected the village"

" and what does this have to do with me?" I asked

" Everything," she said " I had a friend. Layla " The woman smiled that the thought of this friend " she was wonderful, beautiful and full of life. she had very long wavy dark hair and beautiful amber eyes like yours. she was my best friend. Layla and my brother fell in love which was a bit upsetting. they started a family and she got pregnant. everything was perfect " I could see the hurt in her eyes as she flashed back to does memories

" you most miss does memories," I said and she nodded in agreement " then what happened

" That was when Jodan came searching for the stones " calling that name my heart stopped for a second. " My grandmother knew why he was after the stones and she knew that she won't be able to stop him because she was too weak. so she had to find someone. someone strong enough to handle the stone's power. she got help from the wizard Wolcott. Wolcott saw that the only person strong enough not to just handle its power but embrace it inside was the child inside Layla. You " she announced

" No. No that can't be it " shaking head

" With Wolcott magic, the stone was put inside you. but the power was too strong for Layla, your mother to handle so she died during childbirth making me promise that I will do whatever it takes to protect you " I saw tears run down her face. " you were so young back then. we knew that there was no way we could stop Jordan from getting hold of you so we had to take you away and we also found out that with the absence of one stone the others can't be found. so "

" so you played with time. taking one of the stones out of existence in the present into the future " she smiled at my response

" Indeed you are intelligent" she complimented but my mind was somewhere else. so she is telling me that I am from this time but lived in the future? how fucked up can my life get
