Secrets of the lost past

Chapter 11

 May 16th- 11 pm

Today, Dimitry wrote me a letter saying we all need to meet today. I wonder why. Hopefully, he found something. I'll write when I get home.

11:30 pm

Well, I could say that was juicy too, but it's not the best news for me.

-Hello there, butterflies! -Dimitry said. We all knew he was drunk from vodka again.

-What did you call us here for?

-Just to tell you what I found.

-What? -I asked and Dimitry got his vodka out. -I found this.

-No jokes now. What did you find?

-You all can't take a drop of humor. Anyway, I found your little boyfriend talking with our liar.

-What? Boyfriend? Who?

-Fine. I heard Jasper telling Ella that "We're onto them".

-Shit. I told him everything.

-I'm sorry, but you did what?

Big mistake.

-Look, we can fix it.

-Fix it? Ella is friends with the Queen. 1 minute and my head hits the floor.

-People, we'll talk about this tomorrow. Did anyone find out anything else?

I told them that Eira's adoptive dad also worked for Ella to survive.

-Even better. I honestly think my daughter hates me now.

-Wait, wait, wait, daughter? The last time I saw you, you were trying a sip of my life juice and then you spit it out!

-Very funny.

And that was the whole "talk". Then we all went home.

2:30 pm

I started making lunch early since I was practicing my cooking. I read a little while cooking and successfully burned my food. How nice. So I just got out some food from that gift the Queen gave me and we ate that. Now I'll get ready for work.

8 pm

This day was quite interesting. Seeing that one of us almost died, double the interest. Let me write everything down. Me and Darius got to the castle and we heard Jasper, Ella, and the Queen talking about something. We didn't care about any of it, but we heard Ella say "He cheated on me and abused a woman" We were both like "Oh no." I heard someone shouting "Guards!" but Darius didn't. Oh, boy, what happened next? I saw an arrow flying towards Darius and I was like:

-Watch out!

He dodged the arrow and he took my hand and said:

-Come on.

He took me to some weird alleyway.

-How do you know this place?

-I come here every day. No one found me ever since.

Yep, it was the place where I found him crying. Maybe I will cry too.

-Hey, um, since the Queen doesn't know where you live, do you think I can move in with you for a bit?

-She does know where I live, but sure. There's a street shop today. Wanna come?

-Yes, but they are probably tracking me right now.

-With what?

-I don't know, they can do anything.

-Now, we really need to prove you're innocence.

-We sure do.

After that, we went to the street shop and no, the guards didn't find Darius.

-Hey, look over here. We should get this for Dimitry. -I said as I pulled out a decorated vodka bottle.

-Good idea. Oh, and maybe this thing for you. -Darius said and he showed me some baking stuff.

-Why this?

-I know you're practicing baking. I thought it was a nice thing.

Aw, he's so sweet.

-No, no, it is a nice thing. I'll get it. Did you see anything for yourself?

What he picked out made me cry. (In my head, of course, I don't want him seeing anyone cry.) He picked up a pocket knife saying "True survivor". That's quite sad.

-This maybe?

-Not being one of those people, but what do you need a knife for?

-So that I can protect myself the next time...

-It's okay. No need to talk about it if you aren't comfortable. -I said and I patted his back. -So, this for me and that for you. Want to go look at drinks?

-Of course.

We looked at drinks, but we didn't find anything. That was the whole day. I'm tired. Goodnight.
