The Worst of me

Chapter 5

I step into to the golden carriage and thinking what kind of questions I would say to her.

"So Valentina where did you come from?" She asks.

"A place called Zendria." When saying those words to her I must have shocked her. Her eyes grew big and she looked curious for more to the story.

"Isn't that place run over by the goblins?" Victoria asked.

"Yes ...my mother...Vera was queen and I had a little brother, Zack who was with me that day until. I lost him." I said obviously letting her know that I have lost hope on ever finding him.

"I know your mother.... I didn't realize she had a boy. I thought she only had you." she said. I was shocked that she knew my mother, maybe she knows who my uncle is so she can take me to his castle.

"You know my mother?" I ask still in shock.

"Yes we used to be friends a long time ago. But now we're not." she says depressed as she was reminding herself of my mother that she once knew.

"What happened between you and my mother?" As soon as she was about to tell me we hit a bump in the road and it silenced both of us. The horses stopped, I noticed that something or someone was in the way of getting to her castle.

"One moment, don't get out. I'll only be a minute." she said.

"Okay." I said thinking about trusting her but couldn't. You don't know her that well yet...let's see what she is hiding behind the smile. I thought to myself. As I was waiting I heard a man's voice speak to Victoria. This voice was like the hunter who was hunting me. What if this is a trap? QUICK! As I was getting out of the carriage the guard's that were riding the horse's behind us stepped in front of me and grabbed my forearms, picked me up then took me to the front of the carriage.

"One princess, as promised." Victoria says. With a diabolical smile towards me. Taking her gloves off and I saw the scar on her left hand and it all made sense. Her name isn't Victoria. She's Veronica.

"Veronica" I said under my breath.
