Destiny

Chapter 6

When I wake up everything is blurry, and it takes me a while to figure out where I was. I was in my room with my blankets over me. Then everything that had happened to me came crashing back like a wrecking ball. The stranger, the way Zayn had acted, the note! How did I get here and why was Zayn apologizing? Did he drug me or something? I sat up quickly, a little too quickly because pain came flooding into my head. I winced and swayed a little, trying to find my balance. I slowly walked towards the door, occasionally wincing in pain. I cracked open the door to see open the door to see through it. I heard voices shout whispering at each other. I recognized the voices as Zayn and Cass. "Don't you see what is happening, the queen wants her back! She even sent her personal guard to take her! I was just doing my j-" I heard Zayn argue, but he was cut off by my sister. "Your job is to make sure that the princess is safe, not knock her out with a sleeping spell," Cass snapped back angrily. Wait, did she just say spell? Are they talking about me? Who is this queen they are talking about? I must have been still dreaming because for a second Cass' eyes started to glow and Zayn's teeth started to lengthen. This is some messed up dream! I need to come back to reality, I pinched myself and started to walk away. I forgot that there was a squeaky floorboard in my room, so I stepped on it alerting them to me presence. Both their hands snapped up, but Cass' eyes weren't glowing and Zayn's teeth were normal. "Ssh, I think she is awake. We will continue this talk tomorrow, and trust me when I tell you this your job is to protect the princess, her life is much more valuable than yours. If she returns home knocked out by a sleeping spell again, I will personally tan the skin off your flea - bitten behind. Got it?" she hissed through clenched teeth. 

I jumped into bed and pretended to be sleeping breathing a little too dramatically. Cass went and sat on my bed. "Hey Lexie, I know you're awake," she cooed softly, so unlike her rough tone that she had just used with Zayn. I sat up on my bed, "I heard you and Zayn arguing, what do you mean a sleeping spell or protecting the princess," as I finished talking my words sound weird once they are out of my mouth. "Oh, my poor baby sister. Zayn came into the house carrying you and explaining that you had read a note that some kids from school had put on the doorstep too freak you out. You were so surprised that you fainted and knocked your head on the pavement, you've got cold ever since. And Zayn went to get some ice from the store for your head, he hasn't been back since. Maybe you're just imagining things?" she said as if to a child. Maybe I was just imagining things- wait I saw it all happen and I was fully conscious. First Zayn said I was imagining things now my sister. I think there is more going on then meets the eye. Were the talking about me when they said that they had to protect the princess? Is my mother really dead? I couldn't help but think this. I shook my head, "No! I was completely conscious when your argument happened, were you arguing about me?" I try to say more but Cass cuts me off. "You bumped your head really hard and you were hallucinating. You don't want me to drive you to the hospital to get your head damaged, now do you, " her tone said that this conversation was done. She had a steeling glint in her eye, one that I have never seen before and it scared me. My sister is never like this! Something must be extremely wrong!
