The Lost Queen

Chapter Two

I woke up to the rich smell of food beside me. My dry mouth, literally watered. I opened my eyes to see pancake stacked high, scrambled eggs, pineapple juice and a banana in a tray beside my bed. Victoria smiled at me. "Good morning, Margarett." She greeted me.

"Good morning." I greeted back.

"Have some breakfast. I know your hungry." She put the tray in front of me. "Eat it all up. Okay?" I nodded while eyeing the delectable food in front of me. I heard Victoria chuckled. I looked up at her to see an amused smile playing in her lips. I smiled at her then averted my eyes to the food in front of my again. I eat all the food in a flash. Wow! I never though I'm capable of that. I smiled to myself.

"Someone is happy today." I heard a male voice inside the room. I look up to see a man with blond hair walking towards me. He stop beside Victoria then give her a kiss in her cheek. I smiled to the gesture. He turned his attention to me again. "So, how are you? I'm Charles by the way but my wife here call me Charlie." He glance to her with an amused smile then to me again. "You can call me Charlie or.... er, dad." He said hesitantly. Victoria looked at him lovingly." I mean if you want to.." he trailed off.

"Okay, dad."

Charles face lit up. Then turned into a grin. "Your finally my daughter."

I give them my sweetest smile. "Go get dress honey. Were going home." Victoria said. I nodded. I push myself off the bed then stand on the side. I accepted the clothes Victoria hand me. "I think we need first to stop by the department store to buy you some clothes. What do you think honey?"

"Okay." I said with a small smile. I turned then proceed to change in the bathroom.

"I think that blue dress suit you more than the green dress. I matches with your eyes." Victoria said while examining the two dresses in front of us. Her eyebrows furrowed from concentration then she finally pick up the blue dress. I think she finally made up her mind.

We walked toward the counter to pay up for the clothes. She let me pick up some of my clothes which is consisted of white v-neck tee shirts, jeans, other shirts, converse. She didn't comment on my clothes. After that, I let her pick some of my clothes which consisted of pastel colored shirts, skirts, sandals, and dresses. We even brought make up for me. I just my head to that then shrugged.

While waiting in the line in the counter. I saw a leather jacket hanging. I asked permission from Victoria to go then said that I will be right back. I pick up the leather jacket then fell in love with it. I brought it to Victoria. I smiled brightly at her. Then she laugh. She place the jacket with the other clothes. After paying up. She told me that we need to buy me a phone. After our shopping we finally going home.

The car we rode suddenly slowed down in front of a huge gate. Flashes of memories appeared in my mind. I held my head tightly to somehow ease the pain but the pain wont go away. I heard Victoria said to Charles to hurry up. The car halted then Charles carried me inside the house followed by Victoria. We stop in front of a double doors. Victoria opened it then held it widely for us to enter. Charles lowered me gently in the soft mattress of a queen size bed. My head started to hurt again as flashes of my memories coming to me fast. I grip my hair tightly then curled up. Victoria started to cry. Hugging me. Charles came back with some pills and water in hand. Charles help me get up then Victoria give me the pills. I started to come down then drifted to dreamland.

"Mommy. Mommy, whats wrong?" A little girl asked her mommy crying beside her. Her mommy didn't answer just held the child securely in her arms. "Mommy?" Her mommy cried silently.

A loud noise broke out from the house. Her mommy finally lifted her head from the shoulder of the little girl. She look at her. Tears are still flowing from her eyes. "I'm sorry." The little girl didn't know why her mommy is sorry. Her mommy lift her up then put her in the secret door. She tried to smile to her but it was too painful. She kiss her forehead then said in a motherly command, "what ever you see or hear don't ever leave this place okay. Promise me." She said with a serious face. Then held her pinkie finger in front of them."Promise me, Margarett." The little girl begun to lift her little pinkie finger when they were startled with a loud bang outside the door.

"I know your in there. Open the door!" The voice demanded.

She held her pinkie again for her to take. The little girl put her finger then give it a gentle tug. Her mommy smiled and look at her lovingly. The banging started to get louder and louder. "Keep your promise-"

I suddenly jolted from my bed. I blinked a few times. I can feel tears running down my face. I was suddenly startled when my door suddenly opened revealing a very worried Victoria. She walked quickly toward me then hug me tightly. " Everything will be okay now." She assured me while caressing my hair.

After a few minutes, my sobbing decrease then completely stop. She let go of me then held me in arms length. Her face is full of worry. I give her a force smile. "I remembered everything now." I finally told her. Her face change from worry to surprise to worry again. I reassured her that they are my family now and I will tell them about my past when I am ready. Victoria nodded to me then hesitated to leave. I reassured her that I'm okay and she need to get some more sleep. After she left, I lay wide spread in the huge bed staring at the ceiling. I finally made my decision to forget about my past and start a fresh start with my new loving family. I really thank the Lord for the wonderful blessing.
