FROM THE UNDERWORLD: QUEEN OF HELL.

CHAPTER 10.

                              WHAT IS THIS WORLD?

** Time: 09:00 am.

SEPHORA'S POV.

** Matyr by Aaryan Shah.

Queen.

The Underworld?

Power..

AWAKEN. NOW!

I jolt up from my long slumber heavily panting. Which brings me lightheadedness and slight hunger, what happened to me?

Gosh- last night..
My eyes widen at the rememberance of the events that took place last night. Memories rushing like a strong current.. oh, the man that died right by my feet.. my stomach turns, my face frowning at that incident.

At that moment, my mom walks through my bedroom door holding a tray of delicious breakfast. It took that to make me realize that I'm more than slightly hungry.

"Oh my baby, you're awake!" She smiles delightfully.
Walking over to me in short gracious strides- I promise you this lady must be some sort of princess. She puts down the silver tray on my bedside table, "How are you feeling?"

"I feel okay, what happened?" I ask her, acting unsuspecting while knowing damn well what happened to me- I think.
"I was about to ask you that my dear," She searches my eyes, "I found you on your bed knocked unconscious when I came back home."

I keep quiet, gathering my thoughts- shit! The shoes covered in blood, I need to burn them!

Forgetting my mother is there I move to stand up but she's quick to stop me.

She brushes my red curls out of my face, tucking some of the loose hair strands behind my ears, "Have breakfast and get ready. In about an hour or so, we're going for some fun College shopping."

I nod, positioning the food on my lap.

Shit, I need to come back early so I can burn those shoes. She would skin me alive if she were to even catch a wiff of my outing last night.
What even is that place.. were those fanged creatures possibly Vampires? Okay uhm, no this isn't a child's fairytale.. such things don't exist.. right? I'll stick to thinking they were just wearing fake fangs, that sounds better in my head although.. the blood and- and the screaming humans- No. I refuse to think about this any further. The less I think of it the more I'll keep myself safe from getting killed like Leo had said.. "Speak of anything you saw here, you'll die."

This is really the first time my curiosity dies out, talk about life threatening, and there I was actually fearing for my life. No more Underground race meets, everything should be in the open from now on. It's not everyday that a cocky rat will save me- that rat being Leo.
I'm not saying I can't protect myself but I don't know what happened to my flight skills that night. The sudden migraine pounding through my head, my heart tuning out slower than it ever has, feeling like something..someone was calling out to me but I was refusing to let it- of which I'm definitely glad I didn't. What would've happened to me if I gave in to that.. that calling.

What is this world?

'Queen.' The voice that woke me up from my dark dream reverberates through the walls of my mind again.

Oh gosh-, is this the peak of insanity?

After coming back from the girl's shopping spree with mother dearest which included a spa day, I felt like a new woman! I almost bought the whole shopping center. Going in and out of shops like Chanel, Ted Baker, Prada, Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent, Armani, you fucking name it!
It's now 17:30 pm and mother dearest left as soon as she dropped me off home to go and handle "some business" she stated before she disappeared into the evening. I waved her goodbye and went up my room to unpack my items also in preparation for next week.

During our shopping, she also told me to live a little.. perhaps get a boyfriend and loosen up.
Have a WHAT!? A boyfriend!? Ew, like what even is a man.

I swear down someone put a spell on my mother, because uhm? Excuse me ma'am what? No way you uttered that out of your own free will.. "Did some one force you to say all this?" I asked her, with my eyes wider than a rabbit.
She just laughed and continued to spew some more shocking words.
Surely after the events that took place last night .. I will not be doing ANY sort of.. loosening up thank you very much.

Immediately after she left, I burn the shoes as promised, burn the ashes as well- for more precautions, then drove off far far away from our house to discard of the remains at a garbage site that I found. Rest in peace, I whispered as I threw the ashes far off.
When I got home I scrubbed the living hell out of my skin to remove the smoky air that may have clung to me during the burning process.

It's my first week of College tomorrow, in a new state and it's also going to be our 4th week since we've been living here. Impressive stay. I don't know if I'm ready to really face the world.. of course not in my true self, but maybe this time my hair will be allowed to be shown.

I attended Ivy Leagues schools growing up, bringing me to graduation of high school at only 16 years old. From there I enrolled in only Ivy League Colleges as well to suit my prior education, I'm majoring in Clinical Psychology and Automative Engineering.. for the love of cars.

I first went to Harvard, where my mother went for her College education and majors but it was pretty.. boring to say the least, so I tried out Yale University for about a year or so before I ended up Princeton University.

Now that we've moved to LA, the closest my mother could get to an Ivy League was Stanford University, where I will be attending to finish off both my Master's in Psychology and Automative Engineering.

Talk about fun!
Note the sarcasm.

You're probably wondering how I spent my life in the Colleges, well I didn't attend physical classes as much. It was mostly the expensive Ivy tutors/lecturers giving me private lessons- my mother only allowed females to be in that close proximity of me which is I guess understandable but sometimes I'd ditch and just self-assess myself. I'm smart enough to.

So this is going to be the first time.. in like my whole life, that I'll be attending full on classes, with other beings and partake in sports like a normal girl! Seriously I don't know how I'll handle this.

"Trust no one."

"Make less acquaintances."

"Be careful."

My mom stated more than a million times today when we were talking in the car on our way back home.

I've already made my mental notes and rules;
No friends.
No romance.
No funny business.
More racing and drifting, you'd think I was going to stop but the Devil himself could show up with his demons and I'd still not quit!

I would square that man up myself.

To be frank, I am scared shitless for this new chapter of my life. But I have a reputation to uphold. Plus how bad could it possibly get? So far, nobody is really after my head.

I signed in for the Track and Swim Teams to keep myself fit and busy, the tryouts are on Monday and I'll definitely ace them. I'll probably be MVP on my first arrival. I can reckon that much.

When it comes to Track, I'm fast. Like combine a Cheetah's speed a Peregrine Falcon's speed, that's me on a track field. With swimming, I'm like a Black Marlin, you'll never see me coming.

Plus I never really got to go far with my sports skills- matter of fact any of my skills because of the hiding.

Maybe this time will be different.

And that's it for this chapter my lovelies!

Ouuuu, Ivy League student? She's smart smart.

Y'all think her meeting with Leo is over JUST like that?
