Colors Of The Eternal Captive

▪3▪

We were heading to the cafeteria for lunch. I just wish I wouldn't see that witch again, especially after what happened yesterday. I just don't understand. I just thought of turning Maggi's hair into green and when I looked at her, as if magically, her hair turned green! Like what the heck? Anyways, as I was heading to the cafeteria thank goodness I didn't see that witch. Instead of seeing her, I saw something very interesting. A ponytail that can be worn as a bracelet. It was color Black, super elegant. It looked super cute with colorful and sparkly gems. I took it since no one else saw it. I wore it on my wrist. Something weird happened. When I wore it, it turned colorful! It looked cute on me. It's like it was really made for me. I liked it especially because it was somewhat magical.

"Finders, Keepers," I thought to myself. Anyways if I heard someone was looking for it, obviously I would return it (I’m selfish that way, won’t you do the same?). I ordered food in the cafeteria. There was something different. I wasn't waiting in line anymore. They let me order first.

"Well that's nice," I mumbled. I headed to our usual table and saw Christina. She wasn't with Christine because they had separate classes today. I started eating. A little while Christine joined us. We just talked to each other while eating. A few minutes after, Irene appeared and joined us in our table.

"Hey Christina, Do you remember that guy Irene was talking to yesterday?" She asked her twin.

"Yeah Daph! What's her name?" Christina asked.

"You mean Duke?" Irene replied.

"Ohhhh," The twins said at the same time.

"What about him?" Irene asked.

"He's cute!" Christine said

"He's hot!" Christina replied.

"No, he's not. He's just-"she was cut off by the guy he was talking to yesterday.

"Hello Mystery," Duke greeted.

Christine and Christina looked at each other and giggled. I think they were thinking of the same thing. They fit together. I just rolled my eyes on them.

"Hi Duke," we said.

"Hi," he replied.

"Wait, did he just call you 'Mystery'?" I asked Irene.

"It's my nickname," she replied.

"You never told us you had a nickname!" I exclaimed.

"And how did he know? You told him?" Christina asked obviously confused.

“No, he already knows when I met him. I mean… Uhm...” She answered.

“Our families are related, so I kinda knew about her nickname a long time ago,” Duke answered.

Yeah, I totally see the resemblance. Their eyes are both- who am I kidding? They are obviously not related.

“Yeah, that’s right!” She said with relief. She looked at Duke,
“Why don’t you sit? You must be tired ‘cause you’re standing the whole time we’re talking.”

Daph moved to the side so Duke could sit down. We talked and ate random stuff, doing typical lunch things like stealing each other’s food, playing with it, that kind of stuff.

“So you are Mystery’s friends?” Duke asked.

“Yeah!” We replied while eating ice cream.

“Do you guys see anything weird around here? Like, creature or some weird occurrences?” He questioned.

Wow, I thought, This guy is getting nosy. “Nope.” We replied.

Daph and Duke looked around frantically, like they’re worried of something.

After eating our lunch, we headed for our respective classrooms. I have arts class today. Normally, I would enjoy arts class but today was different. I didn't pay much attention to the teacher. I looked at my bracelet. I started to think of turning it to a random color. To my surprise it changed! Do I have magic powers of some sort? I have no idea. Am I just Hallucinating? Should I tell this to Daph and the twins? I don't know, they might not believe me. A few moments later the bell rang. After all my classes, I went home.

I went to my bedroom and layed down on my bed. I decided to take a nap. Then suddenly, I started dreaming of the same thing again.

"Hello Adri, my child" a woman said.

I couldn't see her clearly. It's like a silhouette.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am your real mom." She answered.

"Are you still alive? Do you exist?" I asked her.

"Yes darling, and you will meet me when the time is right" she said before saying good bye.
