The Other World

Chapter 23:Princes And Broken Legs

I was sitting on my bed, reading a book when Gomin came in.

"Oh my gosh!! Your reading again!" he exclaimed.

I came back to Charilot the next morning. I hadn't said bye to either of my siblings and I have been in a bad mood ever since then.

I rolled my eyes. "Yes. Yes I am reading again." I replied.

"Why? Your life is a book itself. You can write a book about your self. A good book has shocking secrets and charming boys and betrayal. Well you are a part of a magical kingdom. And I am a charming boy. Now we just need someone to betray you." Gomin said, taking a seat next to me.

"Oh gosh."

"Look. I know your in a bad mood and I'm sorry you couldn't tell your family."

"Whatever."

We sat in complete silence for a few minutes.

"When are we going to tell everyone about the letters?" Gomin asked.

I sighed. "Lets tell them now. But only Kate, Kameron and Robby. No one else."

"Ok. I'll call them."

Gomin left and I sat there waiting. I was thinking about the letters. Maybe it wasn't a smart idea, telling them but I needed all the help I could get. And besides, what Stark said was true. People usually betray people when they feel like the people that loved them didn't trust them.

After a few minutes, Gomin came back followed by my three siblings.

"Hi Mickey. Gomin said you had something important to tell us." Kameron said, taking a seat on my bed.

Kate, Robby and Gomin settled on the floor.

"Ya..... Look guys it's a secret. And you have to promise not to tell anyone. I mean it." I said

"Ok. What is it?" Kate asked

"Guys, not even Sorak and Tara. No one." I said again.

"Wow. This must be serious." Robby said.

"It is." I replied.

"Ok then. Spill." Kameron said.

I took out the letters and did what Kameron said.

"I can't believe you didn't tell us this whole time." Kate said, shaking her head.

I told them everything, including the bracelet and the warning about Stark and even about the Orb.

"I wanted to tell you, I promise. But Z threatened me. I couldn't take the risk." I said.

"But how come you told Gomin? We're your family!" Robby exclaimed.

"Hey. What's that supposed to mean?" Gomin asked, looking hurt

"Well it doesn't matter now. What matters is that she told us and we might actually solve the problem this time." Kameron said, as calm as ever.

I was amazed with Kameron. Throughout the explanation, Kate and Robby were shocked and kept interrupting while Kameron calmly listened.

"So who do you think Z is?" Kate asked.

"Well I don't know anyone whose name starts with Z." I said.

Kameron looked at the ceiling, lost in thought. "It could be a Lari." he said.

"What? Why would you think that?" Gomin asked.
