Mystique

the emblem

“I’ll tell you while we’re on the road.. For now just go straight ahead..”

Though still curious, Chase drove and Mystique showed the way… they were on the road for about half an hour until they reached a private lot in the middle of the forest. It was very far from the other houses but Chase didn’t even ask amused by the total new surrounding he’s now into…

Mystique watched Chase as he looked on the outer feature of the now seemed to be a paradise he never thought even possible. She felt very pleased that he had given her a lift, though she’s still not quite sure if he remembered her at all.

“so, here we are… you can park your car there” Mystique pointed at a vacant garage and Chase did as what he was told.

Err… should I go down or not??

Chase is still battling his inner side when Mystique opened the door and get out as swiftly as possible..

How in the earth could she do that??

Muffled, he just stared at the lady now in front of the car, waiting impatiently..

“when do you want to get out of your car?? Do you plan on going home without something to eat?? I’m a good baker you know?..”

Chase snapped back in reality and opened his side of the door.. mystified by the appearance of the house, he didn’t even utter a word.

He looked at the door carvings which has such details that only professional sculpts can do. The color of the entire house was beige with an over decorated chandelier in the middle and the walls were filled with paintings, maybe centuries old… he felt he was inside a museum instead of a house.

Well, it’s grand for a lady though….

There was an over-sized sofa in the middle with a pinky table which had a jar of cookies and magazines on top. The lad rolled his eyes and saw another familiar thing he used to dream of for the past years… a symbol..or rather.. an emblem…

Unconsciously, he touched it and felt something radiated in his inner being. A kind of feeling he never thought he would have… it seemed that the emblem had something that he longed for years but unfortunately; he didn’t know what it was…

“good choice of antique..” Mystique said while returning back from her room and saw Chase touching the emblem of his kingdom… yes… the long lost prince has now the emblem of his clan…

“wh-where did you find this??” Chase asked as he held in his hands the emblem..

“you can have it.. after all, I was just asked to take care of it until the right owner comes and get it…” Mystique flashed her breath-taking smile and Chase went blank for a second..

God.. this hysterics has to stop… I’m losing grip of myself…
