Chapter 5 Her mission

Alice stood up immediately and her face lighten up immediately. "You do.. oh thank goodness. Everything here feels strange and everyone is acting weird even my friends. I feel like this is me but it isn't, I never dress like this. I don't know where I am and I'm so confused. I'm freaking out. This feels like a dream but it's not a dream.. I feel like I'm going crazy..."

"Calm down Alice" The beautiful strange woman cut in.

"Wait, how did you even get into the room. The door was locked. What are you? Cus trust me, I saw my friend having a strange power and I also saw a guy who almost killed me with his car. And then a wolf transformed into a man..."

"Do you want to know what's happening? Or you just want to keep confusing yourself?" The woman asked.

"Please tell me what's going on" Alice replied quickly.

"My name Horea, I'm the goddess of time and fate. And also the one who bought you here" The woman spoke and Alice jaw fell opened.

"You bought me here?" Alice frowned hard.

"Yes, all of these are real and not a dream Alice. You might be in the wrong place, but you're here at the right time.."

"What's this place?" Alice asked.

"Allow me to show you Instead" Horea walked close to Alice and touched her forehead.

______

Ammon, a kingdom where supernatural beings and humans lived in harmony. A young witch named morgen mother fell sick. She was poor with no way of helping her mother get better. She decided to beg on the street, asking for help but get ignored in a harsh way.

The little change she has, she saved it up for the drug money. She starve herself and feed her mother but.. On one stormy night, her mother died.

Pain and anger overcame her. She blamed the kingdom for everything. She met with the devil and received a book on a demon named Baal. This Demon is powerful enough to wipe the cruel kingdom. Years later, she succeeded in releasing the demon but Baal killed her and attacked the kingdom.

That day, Zameil was born. Zeus the father just kissed his son's forehead when the uproar happened. He saw his fellow soccerers battling with Baal, he joined too.

Realizing this fight won't favour them, almost all the kingdom was wiped out. Zeus decided to capture and seal the demon into his own son. He knows what he did was selfish and that his son is going to hate him for it.. but he had to save the kingdom.

Unfortunately, an explosion occured killing both Zameil parents. Zeus and Aurora..

While Zameil survived...

Horae removed her hand from Alice's forehead.

Alice blinked severally, trying to process what she just saw. After digesting all of it, she asked.

"Why am I here then?"

"The same Chaos will happen and you are the only one who can stop it from happening. You are in the body of your past self named Elizabeth.. your friends here are not the same friends you knew in California, this I their past life.. Elizabeth failed to save the kingdom and the story was wiped out. The heaven decided to give it another chance.. that is why you are bought here.. Alice" Horea explained.

"Show me the rest of the story then. Let me know why Elizabeth failed so I can prevent myself from doing it" Alice shrugged.

"That's the limit of what I can show you. Now you have to prepare"

"Are you some kind of a robot? I thought you said you are a goddess" Alice squinted her eyes

"I am a goddess Alice. I have a limit of what I can show you.. but I'm here to guide you.. and the first thing you need to know is that you can't let anybody know about this.."

"That I'm from another world?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, they'll think you're crazy"

"I am crazy.. and this" Alice eyes dart around. "I don't think I'm meant for this so I'd appreciate you to send me back home"

"I can't" Horea replied and Alice closed her eyes in anger. She is losing her patience already.

"Why not? I don't belong here.. I wanna go home. Right now!"

"Do you remembered what happened before you were bought here?" Horea asked.

"I was in school.." Alice shrugged.

"And.." Horea raised her brow.

"And I had a test so I asked my friend to teach me. I was waiting for Sam when Zero came to tell me she was in trouble and I.." Alice eyes widened as she slowly remembered something. "I was pushed from the rooftop and.." her breath halt.

"No.. no.. it can't be right. Am I dead?" Alice asked.

"No you're not. Your body is asleep in your world and you have to fulfill this mission before I could send you back"

"What if I don't want to do the mission?"

"You don't don't have a choice Alice... If I decide to send you back this way.. You'll die"

The blood on Alice's face dried. She'll die if she is sent back? And the only way to survive is to save the kingdom?

A knock on the door interrupted her thought and she looked back.

"Good afternoon my lady, may I come in?" A maid asked in a polite way behind the door. Alice return her gaze to the woman but she was gone.

"White haired woman?" She frowned wondering where she wondered off too.

"I'm coming in my lady" The door opened and the maid stepped in. She gasped a little before bowing her head to Alice.

"I'm sorry for coming in without your permission my lady, I thought you were asleep" The maid panic.

Alice blinked severally.. waiting for the maid to speak.

The maid thought the lady before her was angry that was why she didn't get a reply. She kneel before Alice immediately and bowed her head completely.

Alice eyes widened..

"I'm so sorry my lady! Such will never happen! Please spare my life!" She began to cry..

"Woo woo.. easy there" Alice crouched down before her and held her shoulder. "I'm not upset, why should I be upset? You obviously knocked and announced that you were coming in.. thinking I was sleeping. I understood you"

The maid lips parted with surprise. This is probably the nicest word she had ever heard here in the palace.

"You're not upset" the maid asked and Alice nodded with a smile.

"What's your name?" Alice asked.

"Helen" The maid replied. She never thought she'll meet someone this nice.

"Helen, so why are you here?" Alice asked.

"The queen asked me to call you, she need to prepare you for your wedding tomorrow" Helen replied.

Alice jaw practically dropped one the floor.

"What!!!!!!"
