Created a Doorway between two realms.

Aunt Mariam View.

It seemed that today I arrived late ,I thought that I will arrive early before Golderine goes to school , I think she was worried about me .

The reason I left for the whole day without telling Golderine is that I had to go somewhere,where there are no people to do something. I wanted to go into the woods but I decided to not go ,it will draw attention to me and people will wonder what am I doing into the woods during the day . So I choose a random flat that people no longer stay at to create a door way from my world to this world for Lucien. Only one person can enter who I have sended a bracelet to after finishing the Doorway that links to it . And after that the doorway will destroy it's self and disappeare .

I took out my key and unlocked the gate and the front door .I opened all the windows from the house and made myself a cup of coffee. A coffee will do since I did a long spell that took the whole day and night without taking a break. I decided to call Lucien.

"Hey , Emm . I found the information that you are looking for. And some of it is too much." Lucien said after answering my call. At least this time he didn't start with a chit chat type of shit.

"Good , I created a Doorway for you . A bracelet will appear on your hand , you activate it with your magic before opening any door then you will find your self on here but not my house, on some random flat. Call me when you activate it so I can fetch you."

"Okay but where is the bracelet ,It is not on my hands."Lucien said .

"It will be there after three hours after doing the spell, and now it has been one hour and fourty five minutes. So you will wait and also please come tomorrow. Don't rush here , I am tired and today i have to deal with Golderine and her questions." I said.

"She is getting more curious, isn't she? " Lucien asked.

"Yep , she is getting more curious and I better come up with a better excuse . You know sometimes she reminds me of my sister Aurora before she lost her immortality, she was straightforward and liked to speak her own mind. Then she fell in love and became sentimental. "I said .

"You just have to be strong Emm . And maybe it is about time to let her know the truth little by little . " Lucien said.

"Well I'm afraid that she will never accept that part of her , and people in our world will never acknowledge her since there are many fakes of Goddess of Moon and Nature . And once they know that she was chosen by both Nature and Moon they would not believe it. That is also the reason I bought you here ,to help me break the truth from her and to help her accept herself " I said .

"Then I'll help you . "Lucien said.

"Okay , then I'm going to sleep . I'm tired . We will talk tomorrow." I said .

"Take a nice nap ,bye ." Lucien dropped call. And I went to my bedroom to sleep .

I woke up later and it was five pm and Golderine have not arrived , I decided to cook dinner and after making dinner the girl has not arrived it was close to six pm .I decided to not look for her and water the plants in the garden including Moonflower while waiting for her . If I finish watering this plants and she has not arrived in this house, I'll look for her . I'll even use my powers if I have to and destroy this town.

Golderine's View

As we parted ways, I couldn't help but look up into the sky and saw little stars making their way to be more visible . Then I remembered that it is late and Aunt Mariam must be looking for me . Lucky for me Alice , Tristan and Caspian walked with me to keep me safe before leaving me . 

I walked faster so that I'll arrive home safe and sound so I can be killed my Aunt for arriving late .

I opened the gate and it wasn't locked, and I locked it . My Aunt is here . I walked to the garden while calling her name .

"Mary , I'm home !" I said with a shaky voice because I was nervous.

"Well you didn't have to call out my name as if I went or stuck to another dimension . " She said . "Where were you young lady , walking around wearing a school uniform at this time?" She asked. Well at least she didn't shout at me , Mary can be scary when she is angry. I relaxed a bit but her facial expression said otherwise.

"These days I made friend as you said." Her facial expression softened. "And today they took me to Café . I'm sorry I'm late but we were just chatting and we even planned how we are going to present our project next day ." I said and I can see happiness in her eyes .

"You made friend ,who are they ? No you will tell me all about it at the dinner table." She said with excitement. But on the other side I was so relieved that she didn't turn into tiger and ate me .

We went to the kitchen and she started closing down all the windows inside the house and she sat in front of me at the dinner table and told me eat. She kept looking at me when I eat.

"So how did it happen ?" She asked me

I took a deep breath, knowing Aunt Mariam wouldn't let me off easily. "It happened this week, yesterday ," I said, watching her eyes light up with curiosity. " Their names are Alice , Caspian and Tristan and they are the new students . And how I made friendship with them ,I didn't go to them and introduced my self . It was Alice who came and sat next to me ." I said . " And that's when Tristan and Caspian joined in, and… well, we all just clicked."

Aunt Mariam raised an eyebrow, leaning forward slightly. "Clicked? That's a big step for someone like you, Golderine. You've always been cautious about letting people in."

I nodded, feeling a bit defensive. "I know, but they're different. They're kind and funny, and they didn't make me feel weird about myself. Also ever since I became friends with them Stephenie has not clashed with me ... well she did but this time it was different, I was protected by three of them ."

"Hmm," she murmured, sipping her juice thoughtfully. "tell me more about Tristan and Caspian , are they twins ?" She asked .

"No they are not , their surnames don't match even their personalities don't match. " I said while thinking about them .

She looked me with interest again. " tell me their surnames. Maybe I might know their families."

"Their names are Tristan Lancaster ,Alice Clarendish and Caspian Beaufort " I said .

"Alice Clarendish, such a nice surname it almost makes me curious. " Mary said mumbling with a low voice .

"Huh... Mary what did you just say?" I didn't hear hear her so I asked her .

"Nothing ,I said nothing. Alright ."she said finally, her tone softening. "I'm glad you're making friends. Just… be careful, Golderine. Not everyone is who they seem."

I frowned. " I trust them you know , and if they keep secrets from me that are not about me then it is fine , everyone is allowed to have secrets . After all I'm not interested in what their hiding if they indeed have secrets. I'm only interested in your secrets my dear Aunt.

Aunt Mariam hesitated, her usual composure faltering for a brief moment. She seemed to weigh her words carefully before answering. "okay I'll tell you my secrets on the first of November dear , but as for your trust in them , I've seen what happens when trust is misplaced and you are a basic example of that. It can cost more than you realize."

Her cryptic response only made me more curious, but I decided not to press her. She was always guarded about her past plus mine that I don't know, and I'd learned not to push too hard.

"So," she said, changing the subject abruptly, "what's this project about?"

"It's for History class," I explained. " it is based on European history . "

"I believe that you and your group will do greater than Stephanie's group." Mary said with a smile.

" Oh yes , we will. " I said to her.

Before Aunt Mariam could speak, her phone on the dinner table buzzed. She glanced at the screen, and saw Lucien's name . "well Lucien is calling me , excuse ". she said, standing up abruptly.

I watched her as she went outside. And I cleaned up the dinner table and I went to my room to remove school uniform I was wearing before taking a bath .

The phone call was from Lucien. His voice was calm but carried an undertone of urgency.

"The bracelet appeared," he said. "I'll come through the doorway first thing in the morning."

"Good," I replied, keeping my voice steady. "We don't have much time. Golderine's powers are coming out I can feel her powers stirring."

"Has she shown any signs yet?" Lucien asked.

"Not overtly," I admitted. "But her connection to nature is growing stronger. "

"Then we need to move quickly," Lucien said. "If the wrong people find out who she is before she's ready…"

"I won't let that happen," I said firmly. "I've worked too hard to protect her."

"Just remember, Mariam," Lucien said, his tone softer now. "She has to choose this path willingly. You can't force her to accept her destiny."

"I know," I said, though doubt gnawed at the edges of my resolve. "But how do I make her see the truth when the truth is so overwhelming?"

Lucien didn't have an answer for that, and after a brief goodbye, the call ended.

I leaned against the wall , staring at the moon pendant I always wore around my neck. It was a relic from our world, a reminder of everything I had sacrificed to keep Golderine safe. But as much as I wanted to shield her from the dangers of our world, I knew I couldn't keep the truth from her forever.

I went back inside and did dishes , I'm sure Golderine's is busy reading her books. It just hurts me when she studies hard so that she can get out of that school since I didn't want to transfer her to another school. I wonder if she had a dream that she wants to achieve like going to college or university to be a Lawyer , Doctor or Accountant. After all that kid is clever . I will just be heartbreaking to tell her she doesn't belong in this world and she has powers that will put her in struggle of power between Royal Families . That she will have to forget her dreams and go there where she will never sleep in peace.

I heard her say Stephanie bothered her , she didn't deal with her . It seems that I'll really have to chop that Stephanie's hand .

Mary finished washing dishes and decided to go to Golderine's bedroom.
