-A New Mission?-

A couple of days later, I woke up. I saw the ceiling and I tried to grasp the air with my hand. I saw Bailey reaching over and grabbed my hand and his eyes were filled with tears.

"Angelica, you're, okay? You feel fine?" He said while smiling and nuzzling my hand on his cheek.

I felt the warmth of his skin. It was relaxing and calm. I then started to move my hand and cupped his cheeks and said,

"I'm Fine," I smiled. I heard the door open, and it showed my father. His eyes were red but, in the sun, it shone like golden yellow. Is it because of the power?

"Good morning, Angelica, how are you feeling?" He mustered out while he put some extra clothes on for my next change of clothes.

"I'm fine, Father. Thank you" I looked down and I looked at Bailey.

"Bailey, I need to speak with Father for a while," I said while looking guilty to have to kick him out. He just can't know the truth until later.

"Alright" Bailey said while getting up, "Call me when you're ready," he said smiling and then walked out the door.

My father stands there in awe, he then walks over after a couple seconds.

"So, tell me the rest of everything," he sat on the spot where Bailey used to be.

"I will. My true name is Destiny Qin, I died at the age of twenty. I had a brother in another world. His name was Timothy. He somehow followed me in this world as Thomas. That is why…" I trailed off, my father had then continued what I meant,

"That's why you protected him," He sighs then continued, "I see, anyways, anything else?"

"Yes, I was a human, I lived on Earth. This place, this is Earth but not my Earth. I lived a poor life. I was shot when I was working. When I first came to this world, the only thing I saw was another life given to me. I believe that the host had died because of the power flowing through her. Her spirit couldn't handle the pressure. I felt the pain when I first awoke. However, it felt at ease later." I paused.

"I think I got most of that," My father had said,

"I'm sorry to deceive you," I said looking down.

"No, don't be. You're my flesh and blood. It doesn't matter about your past. I hope soon Bailey will understand that too." He said while standing up. He then continued,

"You will have a new mission. When you turn fifteen, you and I will succeed together. After you turn eighteen, you will be the empress. Make me proud. Other than me, Bailey and Thomas, no one else should know about your background."

"I won't let you down. I will bring peace. If a fight needs to be brought, I will bring the heat," I said confidently.

"Good, I will leave, if anything else comes up, tell me," My father had said.

While I am on bed-leave, I just lay there and wait for breakfast every day. I sigh in place and then the door opened to a servant,

"Lady Angelica, we have news. Your body is gradually regenerating fast. And fast being not normal. From time to time, we will have to cut your hair every week from now on. It keeps growing rapidly," From his words, I wasn't surprised. Whenever my anger or anything that triggers my powers, my hair grows. Usually, it would go back. However, now it stays.

"Thank you, I will make sure to go to every appointment. How much longer do I have to be in bed-leave?" I asked with a reply.

"Only for two more days, Milady," he said, then closed the door after.

I then once again heard doors open, I saw it was my brother,

"Thomas?" I questioned,

"Yeah, sorry. I'm very late, However, I see that your powers are becoming more of you. I didn't think your powers had a berserk mode?" he said while studying my weak body.

"I know, it's just. My body just automatically took charge. My voice trembled between my words. I'm not sure if it is the power or me that did that," I had spoken.

Thomas had looked down for just a second and then answered,

"We can check out your power range with this one thing I invented. I had checked mine. I have at least 200 ranges."

"I see, I guess we can check. However, I got to wait till I've recovered. Not all of my strength has come back." I said while smiling toward him.

"Alright, I will respect that, rest well," he said smiling and then left closing the door.

I silently look out the window. I see Bailey out there. He looks determined.

"Nothing ever goes right, does it?" I sighed.

"Yeah, nothing ever does, a moment later I heard.

I looked towards the chair, and I saw Courtney. I haven't seen her since the day I heard of her parents' murders. Oh right, I still have to figure out what is going on with their case.

"Yeah, you heard everything didn't you, I felt your aura behind the door" I said while smiling down to my empty hands and started to cry,

"I'm sorry" Courtney continued and then hugged me to comfort me. "I wouldn't have thought how hard it was for you Angelica," She wept with me.

Few moments later, I saw her holding something, "What's that?" I asked Courtney.

"Your brother's mother, she saw you looking at this, it's a gem that she always wore. She actually told me she found it somewhere near the lake. She saw something fall from the sky," She paused then continued, "She felt that it must've felt special to you. Hence the way you were looking at it, she had said to me," Courtney's sentence had ended.

"I see," I said looking at the gem.

"My mother had the exact one, she had a special place for a picture behind the gem's shiny back, like this- "I had gently taken the gem locket, and looked on the back where, at first, I was astounded, it had the same look. It had a tiny button; it was not very visible. Instinctively, I pushed it. The back came apart and it revealed a picture. Me, Timothy, mom, and…dad.

"Our…picture," I said, letting my words fade away.

Courtney had looked at me and saw the picture, she was even astounded by how I looked back then.

My hair was a dark brown that had that distinctive color black. My eyes were hidden. I didn't want to inject my weird unappealing eyes. No one really liked me because of my eyes actually. Most of the time I wore contacts.

"Angelica, how comes- "I interrupted Courtney's talk,

"Yes, even I know. I had a dark brown eye that looked somewhat red in the sunlight, and my other…was blue. It was a mutation that I had back in my world." I said looking down.

"I'm…speechless, why is your picture here?" She asked, trying to avoid my other worldly transformation.

"I am not sure Courtney, maybe…What if my mom came here? My mom went missing, my dad drunken and…killed himself" My excitement died down when it came to my dad.

"I'm sorry Angelica…" Courtney's face was in shock. I don't blame her, but I don't want her to worry.

"It's okay Courtney, However, where is this lake? There might be some clue," I say,

"I know where," Thomas came into the room.

"Thomas…" I say,

"It's okay Angelica, I will lead you. I feel as if our mother is alive." He says with great confidence.

"How do you know?" I ask and Courtney also looks at him weirdly.

"There is this feeling inside me, I just know it," His eyes tell it all.

"Alright, I'm okay with that." Courtney was shocked,

"Do you believe this? Can you go on with just a feeling?" She said worriedly.

"Yes, if he feels that way, it must be true." I said with a smile.

I turn my head and I ask,

"When do we leave then?" I had a feeling he wanted to go as soon as possible.

"Tomorrow," he said, smiling. I can't believe I am related to this kid.

"Alright," Our eyes had a fire in them, and we weren't going to give up.

After a while, it became nighttime. I look up into the sky. I saw a full moon. To be honest, I haven't been outside this castle. What lies beyond these walls? My eyes close and I suddenly wake up to a bell.

"Huh? Oh shoot, what time is it?" I got up from my bed. Of course, I fell from dizziness.

"Crap," I look up and I see my brother, "You ready Angelica?" He asked with a smile. "Of course, Let's find our mother,"
