With Love, Pandora-On hold

Chapter 3

"Dear Penny,

I'm so sorry for what you are going through. My father knows some people in some high places, and we will be coming to get you soon. I'm sorry that I can't be there for you now. Please just hold on a little longer and don't let anyone know about what we are planning. On a lighter note, Jake asked me out the other day. We went to see a movie. Of course, my father disapproves, but some time he's got to get over it. I'm so happy Penny and I'm going to be even happier once you are here with me. My mother can't wait to have another daughter to spoil. I showed her your picture, I hope you don't mind. She can't stop raving about how stunningly beautiful you are. I'm so proud to call you my friend. Stay strong a little while longer.

Love,

Emily.

Pandora sighed as she read through Emily's letter for the second time. It's time for her to leave this place. Things have quieted down since Mr. Balfour's visit two weeks ago. The twins and their mother make it a point to stay out of her way. She sighed again. "How much longer am I going to have to wait?" she thought. Since the visit of Mr. Balfour, she's been agitated. She really just wanted to get away. This is not the life she wanted. The fact that Emily can't provide her with exact dates on when she will be leaving, is also stressing her out. She's also been having weird dreams. It's always about this beautiful woman, with long, dark hair. Somehow, she feels connected to her, but she doesn't know anyone who fits the description. The first dream she had was the night after Mr. Balfour's visit. She saw a baby sitting at the back seat of a car. Soft music played in the background and the two people who drove her looked at each other with so much love that it was nauseating. The car came to a sudden stop, when a man appeared in front of the car. He looked like an angel, but the murderous look on his face told her that he wasn't a pleasant person. "Our kingdom is under attack. You have to come back home. Our people need you. I need you Becks" he pleaded with the dark-haired woman. "I'm sorry Kevin, I can't. I'm home now. I can't leave my mate and my baby behind" the woman replied. "Becks please, you have to this. For yourself, for our people, for your baby and mate. We need you. Your child is in danger. Our kind are facing extinction. If anyone finds out about your baby, it will all be over" Kevin said again, his voice urgent. "Come and find me within a week's time. I need to say goodbye at least" the lady pleaded again, while she gently stroked the arm of the man next to her. "We don't have a week. We need to go now. Our people will be stronger with their queen by their side. I know we didn't work out, but please Beck's, come back. I can't fight them off alone. You know our people are at their full strength when they are united. With you being here, we were crippled. We were great friends before our parents unified us before either one of us ever had the chance to find our real mates. I'm really not mad at you for finding your destined mate, but you are still our queen, and our kingdom needs you now. Also, your child is the rightful heir to the throne. Do you think that our enemies will just leave her alone? Come back and make our kingdom safe, so that she could return to her people one day and claim what's rightfully hers". Kevin said again. "Please give us a minute" Becks said. Kevin turned away to give them some privacy and Becks turned towards the man next to her. "Lucas, I have to leave. Please look after our daughter. No one must ever know her true heritage. Being what I am and being what you are, we are putting her in danger. When the time is right, she will find us". "I'll join you soon my love. I'll arrange with my beta to take her some place safe. I love you" the guy called Lucas said as he looked at Becks with eyes full of love. "Kevin, I don't know how we are going to do this, but my mate will be joining us soon. As the rightful king to my kingdom. When the time comes our daughter will return to us as the rightful heir to the throne. No hard feelings" she told Kevin as she got out of the car. With a slight nod he spread his dark, grey wings and took off. With one last look at Lucas and the baby in the car, the lady called Becks, spread her marvelous white wings and took flight. The baby in the car started crying terribly. "Hush now my angel. One day we will be together as a family again" Lucas spoke softly as he started the car and drove off.

She remembers being terribly confused after the dream. She wanted to know more about the people in the dream. Somehow the baby reminded her of herself. But that is not possible, or is it? Her mother died at childbirth and her dad when she was still very small. She also can't remember that she ever had wings, because if the dream were true and if she was the baby, she would've had wings, right?

The four other dreams were somewhat different from the first one. Where the first one felt like a memory and something that happened, these were like messages that came to her from another world. It was as if this lady, Becks spoke to her. It was almost small messages, like just be strong. Soon we will be together. Soon you will see yourself as you truly are.

Pandora didn't take any of these dreams seriously and neither did she tell anyone about them. Who would believe her anyway? It just sounds crazy. With a sigh she took out her notepad and started writing:

Dear Emily,

I received your letter this morning. I really don't want to be a pain, but could you please at least provide me with a date as to when I will be leaving? I'm losing my mind here. I've been keeping something from you Ems. Please don't laugh at me, but I've been having these really weird dreams about this beautiful dark-haired woman called Becks. Now according to my dreams Becks is the queen of some unknown kingdom and even though she looks like a human, she isn't one. When she took off in the dream, she had these beautiful white wings, like an angel. The guy who came to get her had this huge dark, grey wings. They were supernaturally beautiful; I'm telling you Ems. There was also this other guy named Lucas. I don't know what he is, but she said that the baby would be in danger because of what they both are. The lady also said that he was her mate, whatever the hell that may be. Now here comes the funny part. The baby I'm telling you about looks a lot like me, and I feel some kind of connection to the people in the dream. But that can't be right. I lost both my parents before the age of two. The dreams both scare and confuses me. What if I'm losing my mind because of stress about this whole being sold thing? I don't want to go to an institution. I've also had four other dreams about the lady where it felt as if she spoke to me. I'm really losing it. Please come and get me.

Love,

Pandora.
