Chapter 16
After Ivy and Brendan left I headed back to my room to just sit there on my bed and be lazy. Well when I got there I walked in and closed the door behind me thinking I was alone, But I wasn’t. There was this tall girl with black hair sitting on my bed. She was wearing all black, too, so I guess she was Goth. Then I went into panic mode. I didn’t know her, didn’t know what she knew and hoped it wasn’t anything important.
“Who are you!” I asked coming on strong hoping to scare her but I was wrong.
“Are you the Angel?” She said standing up, “I’m Monica another experiment escapee.”
“A what? Hold on”, I said and turned around and opened the door so I could call Ben in, “Ben! Get in here. I need to talk to you. Now!” Then two minutes later Ben was in my room thinking the same thing I was: Who was she and what did she know.
Who is she? Do you know her? How did she get in here? I thought sending Ben an M.M. but only got a shrug out of him.
“Hi”, She said extending a hand, “I’m Monica, another escapee. You know, from the World Experiments Administration.” And then mine and Ben’s mouth’s dropped open on the fact that she knew about the WEA.
“How do you know about the WEA?” I asked and crossed my arms.
“I was another experiment and escapee. I was one of the many few people who got tested in the Flying category, like you”, She said evidently knowing exactly what she was talking about.
“Oh yah”, Ben said testing her, “Prove it.”
“Okay”, she said and stretched out two big, beautiful butterfly wings.
“Whoa!” Ben and I said at the same time.
“I know right? They are huge. Almost six feet wide tip to tip”, She said then turned around so we could see the other sides. She had a pair of huge monarch butterfly wings.
“Okay, Monica, why are you here and how did you find us”, Ben said once she tucked her wings back in.
“Well when I heard all these guards shouting ‘Where did Angel go?’ Where is the Angel’ I knew I had to find her and see what she all knew. So when they were taking me out of my cage I knocked out the dude and ran for it. Then I found the computer lab and searched ‘Angel’ and it came up with your real name and address”, Monica said, “Now I also remember reading that she had a brother, Ben I do believe. Now I got a quick question. What is your father’s name?”
“Ahh…. Is this a trick question?” I asked.
“No. I just need to know what your father’s name is”, Monica said, “Oh and since your guys are giving me that ‘Do-we-trust-her’ look well you should because I did not like it at the WEA either and I know more about you two than each of you know about your selves.”
“Our father’s name is: Victor. Victor Crutz”, Ben said slowly trying to hide the sorrow he still had hiding from when Dad died.
“Your father’s name is Victor Crutz? Well then just one more question to confirm my thoughts: Is your mother’s name Stephanie Winger Crutz?” Monica said getting a little excited like she was a detective hot on a case.
“Yah…”, I said not sure of what would happen next.
“Then you two are not supposed to be here. You two are supposed to be in Galactia. Your father is King Victor Crutz and your mother is Princess Stephanie! When she gets there she will be crowned Queen Stephanie Crutz of Galactia. You two are the future heirs to the thrown! You two must get there. Now!” Monica said like if we didn’t go the entire world will explode.
“But what about our mom? She doesn’t have any powers or special abilaties?” Ben asked.
“Yes she does”, Monica said a little annoyed, “You got more traits from your mom, like the wings, and your brother got more traits from your dad, the fangs. Oh and hey what’s your names again?”
“I’m Ben and she’s Hannah”, Ben said answering her question, “Now let’s head to Galactia.”
When we went down stairs and found our mom in the kitchen making lunch. She had on her apron that she only used for special occasions and seemed pretty busy.
“Mom we’d need to talk”, Ben said marching into the kitchen.
“First of all we’d like you to meet Monica”, I said letting Mom see Monica.
“Hi, Monica, were did you meet Hannah and Ben?” Mom said stopping what she was doing and brushed off her hand for Monica to shake.
“Hello. I met them a little while ago. Then I came here and talked to them and asked a few questions, Your Highness”, Monica said and then curtsied before our mom.
“What I don’t understand”, Mom said and then sat down on a chair next to the island.
“Your Highness, King Victor Crutz has sent me from Galactia to come find you and take you back. He needs you because there has been a war issued and needs his queen to rule while he leads the troops.”
“What? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Here King Victor also sent this with me to give to you confirming the request that you come back”, Monica said and put her hands together, one on top of the other, then separated them and a scroll appeared.
A little confused Mom took the scroll and read it aloud.
Dear Stephanie Winger Crutz,
I, your husband, King Victor Crutz need your help. There has been a war issued to Galactia and I need my queen to rule while I lead the troops to victory. Please come back with my faithful messenger, Monica Vinenci. She will lead you and our children back to the palace and I will meet you in the living room.
Your husband,
King Victor Crutz of Galactia
Then mom slowly lowered the scroll and seemed to be staring at nothing but the floor. Then she got up and took off her apron and we followed her to the mudroom.
“Let’s go to Galactia”, She said and then Ben and I looked at each other and we cheered. For we were going to see our dad again.
