Meeting Queen Moira

"Ok. So, I kind of just had a really stressful day. You know, with the kidnapping and everything. I just wanna go home please." I pleaded

Right now. I’m at the station and I’ve been giving details of everything that happened this evening and it’s really tiring. I truly wish that this never happened and that I was at home in my comfortable bed, well it’s not all that comfortable but it’s better than this. I just want my mom right now.

"Gloriana! Oh Gloriana. My baby. How are you?"

"Mom???" Clearly I’m shocked. 

Like seriously my mom is ill and she can’t walk she lost her legs 8 years ago but now she’s here except in her wheelchair with auntie Tilly’s support.

"Mom? Aunt Tilly?."

"Baby?." Her eyes turned watery and I knew what’s coming.

"Mom no. I’m alright and they got caught. Trust me."

I hugged her. I squeezed her in and it was totally peaceful. She was wearing her pick flannel sweater. So soft.

"Your mother was so worried." 
I nodded my head, it was all I could do right now. I’m so weak.

"She got a call from the station Gloriana. She panicked and decided to leave on her own. I caught her trying to get down the stairs. It was really bad". Aunt Tilly said..

Now that caught my attention..

"What do you mean by really bad aunt Tilly?" I asked her.
I couldn’t stop myself from thinking the worst.

"It’s ok Baby. Let’s go..."

"She’s injured. Seriously, but she still refused my proposal of her meeting Mr Merlyn."

"Mom? What happened?" I asked. She tensed up.

"Mom if something is wrong, you need Mr Merlyn". She held my hand and placed it on her chest.

"I promise Gloriana. First thing tomorrow morning, I’ll meet Mr Merlyn. Trust me". She turned her wheelchair.

"For now Gloriana. You need to get some rest"
 
That’s true though. I really need to rest. She did read my mind but it worries me that she might be hurt somewhere and I know she’s pretending to be strong but she’s a real fragile Dollie.. 

ok seriously? Dollie? Looks like I got my funny bones back. Well that’s a good thing.
  
When we got home. I smelled something different than those mushroom soup with meatballs we’ve been eating for dinner for like a month or so.

Definitely she cooked something different. I’m impressed.

"Mom? Is that seafood? I can totally smell it calling my name."  I cheered. This night really might just change our lives..

"Yes. It’s seafood. Your Aunt..".  

"I bought it from the sea market. It really cost a lot". She interrupted.

Oh.

"Oh. Thanks I guess." I picked my leather purse and head up.

"I really need a shower.. I think I smell like kidnap and sexual assault". I sniffed my armpits.

"Oh baby, I’m really sorry about tonight.." my mom apologised.

"It’s not your fault mom.. it’s mine."

"Really? So you got yourself kidnapped?" Aunt Tilly asked shocked.

I literally rolled my eyes at her... How can I get my own self kidnapped. What am I? A billionaire spoiled kid??.

"Obviously I’m not stupid Aunt Tilly." I snapped.

"I just couldn’t let them take her". 

"Take who?"  My mom said...

"A little girl. I dunno who she is or why she’s there but they don’t look like her parents so my big guess is kidnapping then".

 I made myself clear. I don’t want someone thinking I did it on purpose. What’s gone is gone.

"I really need that shower so excuse me". Without hesitation, I left.

        
        ===================

"You’re going to work today?" Aunt Tilly asked. 

She seemed really surprised that I’m going out.

"Yes I am." I picked up my purse.

"Where’s my mother? She needs to get checked today."

"I know Gloriana. But I don’t want you to worry so go to work. I’ll go when I’m ready". My mom popped in.

"No mom. I’m taking you there by myself." I want to find out what’s wrong with her so that is not an option.

"No Gloriana. Go to work!" 

"Mom? I’m not going anywhere without you..."

"How about we call him over so he can check your mom huh? What do you think?. It’ll save you time and save your mother strength." Aunt Tilly added.

"good, that’s great. So you should get going....." 

"Mom?"I stopped her..

"You’re not well, are you?" I asked.

"Oh come on drama queen, get going before it’s too late." She practically pushed me out.
 
So now I’m here in front of my house door that was closed on me by my very own Aunt.

I’ve seriously got no option. Maybe I should really get going.

Today seems bright. Well it’s not over yet so it’s bright for now.

I was walking down the street when this really cool expensive car stopped me. Ok strange.. 

A man wearing black suit and dark glasses came out and he opened the back seats door.
A really elegant lady walks out. Her heels, her hair and her makeup looked so perfect. Everything about her screams perfect.

"You must be Gloriana Jules". Her voice even sounds perfect. Like she’s been practicing her lines.

"Yes." I nodded.  "Who are you?"

That’s when she did it.
Her magical smile without her face crinkling.

"I am Moira London. Queen of Utopia, mother to the girl you saved yesterday."
 

Thanks for reading....
