CHAPTER 57 – Not Home Anymore

  LAMIA

    

       

  I awoke with a start to find everyone standing over me, talking in hushed whispers. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone; my mother, father, the King and Queen, the royal Beta and Aunt Olivia, Mike and Kellen.

  The immediate feeling of loss filled my heart and I clutched my chest at the tight pull as all my emotions hit me at once, the vision, dream or whatever you call it, far from my mind as I take in the crowd. I look at each of them and only then realize I am in my old room back at the palace.

  “Dear Goddess Lamia! You gave us quite the scare!” My mother’s comforting voice floats through the sea of faces. My gaze lands on her beautiful blue orbs full of concern and worry. I hold my arms out towards her and her tiny frame flies into my embrace.

  “It hurts so bad momma” I hiccup through the whimpers I can’t control. “It… it hur…hurts so b…bad”. I let everything out as I soaked her shoulder with my weeping and blubbering.
