Messed up! The Great Beginning

Page 40

Whoop!

I managed to warp back to the castle by myself. I looked around to make sure I was right.

"Thank God..." I sighed.

I went inside the butterfly garden and walked through it. This time, there are workers here.

"I'm definitely coming back here to take a closer look at everything." I said to myself.

As I made it through and went up the stairs, I made it back into the dining room. I then walked to my room and was greeted by Eddie on the way. I took off my coat, shoes and bag and sat on my bed.

As I sat down, something crunched beneath me. It wasn't me. It was obviously paper. I raised myself and pulled out whatever that was. It's a letter! A normal one that you see every day. I flipped it to see who it's from.

It's from Axel!

Probably because of making a new appointment.

I opened the letter and started reading.

Hello Patricia, it's me, Axel. I hope you're doing alright and that the Queen was nice to you. If it's ok with you, let's meet again in my office at 14:00 PM.

Your therapist,
Axel

What time is it? I took out my phone out of my jacket.

12:51 PM

Oh, I have time. Until then, I checked how to get there on the map and chilled in my room since I didn't have any homework. Then, an hour later, I warped near the hospital and met Axel again. I told him how I was doing, still the same but better since I've got my friends. I also shared my plans and he seemed quite excited.

Axel also had great news. He told me that my arm replacement would be ready next week. I charmed with gladness. After an hour, I also exchanged numbers with him and we said goodbye.

I warped back to the castle and went back inside. I stumbled upon Scarlet again and she apologized. She wanted to make me breakfast to school, but she forgot. But that's fine. I didn't die after all.

Sasha texted me eventually during the day and said he wanted to meet me at the church around 18:00 PM. I wonder what's the matter. I keep thinking back to the dream I had. I hope it's not too bad. He has had some problems with his mom after all.

It's 16:30 PM now. I called Laura and talked to her for a while. I also ate something and told Scarlet I was going out. I couldn't find my grandmother so I had to tell her instead.

I put on my jacket and shoes and warped back to the church. It was 17:50 PM now. Better early than late...

I climbed out and waited in front of the building. I really have the urge to listen to something. I gotta get myself some headphones soon.

"Hey, Tricia."

I looked up. It's Sasha.

"Hey, what's up, dude." I said back and hugged him.

He hugged me back. He seems pretty tired.

"Cmon, let's go. I don't want strangers to hear." He said and guided me into an alley.

We went all the way to the back. It's nothing new. We usually chill in alleys like this or talk so no one hears.

"So, what's the matter, hm? You've been kinda down lately." I asked him, rubbing his arm.

He looked away. He seems scared.

"Tricia, I.."

"I-I am so sorry." He whimpered.

"Sasha... why do you keep apologizing?" I asked a bit more serious.

That's when he broke down and collapsed to his knees.

"It's all my fault!" Sasha said, sobbing.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't want to Tricia!" He sobbed.

"Sasha, I-I don't understand. Wha-"

"I HELPED THEM KIDNAP YOUR MOM!" He yelled in tears.
