Chapter 4 (In the silhouette's POV, just so u know)

I watched silently as the girl with the glossy brown hair walked towards a room full of posters. This must be her room. I quietly shifted into her room, bewildered by the sight. Who could possibly need so many posters of teenage boys and tall life-sized cardboard cutouts of them, too? I watched as she walked up to a cutout of a blonde and gave it a hug. " Hey there. Today was pretty eventful for me. You'll never believe what happened to me today. Elias was doing a lab with roses, and he saved one for me and gave it to me after school. Isn't that sweet? Jules said he liked me, but I doubt it. You know, nobody really wants a girl without a family."

What was left of my heart broke at this. This poor child had no idea. She didn't know about the augury, she didn't know about the Dark Despot's plan, about the oppression of our secret universe. To think, when she did find out, she'd have no one to help her.

Suddenly, she looked up at a corner of the ceiling, where I was hiding. This I wasn't prepared for, so I froze, and didn't move away. The girl saw me and let out an ear-splitting shriek. I stayed, frozen in the corner, not knowing what to, as she took out her cellular device, taped a few buttons, then snapped a photograph of me. The sudden flash of light from the device temporarily blinded me, and I groaned and fell to the ground.

"Ambrosia! Would you shut up? You knowhow I am when you make too much noise," I heard a voice shout.

"Y-yes, Mrs. Tristan," Ambrosia whimpered, still staring at me with fear. She typed on her device quickly and turned the screen away from me. Strange.

"Do not be afraid, my child," I said to her as I regained my balance.

Her expression went from afraid to perplexed. "You can talk?"

I chuckled. She was quite charming. "Yes dear. I talk."

Her cheeks flushed. "Oh." Then her eyes went fearful again. "What do you want from me?'

"I'm sorry?"

"Why are you following me? What do you want?"

"Oh, child. I'm so sorry if my actions have startled you. I was just collecting information."

"Information? Why are you collecting information about me?"

" Because that was my instruction."

"What? Listen. I need you to give me an actual reason, or I'll call the cops for a stalking crime."

I sighed. "Ambrosia, have you ever met your parents?"

"N-no. My mum died when she had me."

"Yes, she did," I said. "Do you know your parents names?"

"H-how did you know my mum died?"

"Child, just answer me. Do you know your parents names?"

"My mother's n-name was Seraphina Benson. I never knew my father."

I knew exactly who her father was. "Would you like to know about him?"

"Oh, y-yes. Please."

"Well, Ambrosia, what would you like to know?"

She thought for a second, and then shrugged. "I guess I want to know his name, and why he left me at the orphanage. Why didn't he want me?"

"Your father's name was Gray Benson. He loved your mother dearly, and he couldn't be there to help her through your birth. You mother died because of all the stress of giving birth to a child going on in her head. She had a brain spasm."

Ambrosia stayed silent, her eyes clearly telling me to continue.

"Your father was taken as a slave to a universe ruled by a tyrant, who I known as the Dark Despot. He only left you and your mother to keep you safe. That is the only reason he wasn't there when Seraphina gave birth, but he loved you both with all his heart."

Ambrosia just nodded. "But why are you here?"

"I am here on business. I come from the Dark Despot's universe. About fifteen years ago, there was an augury saying that the first offspring of the 88th person the Despot captured would take over his throne. That 88th person was your father."
