Chapter 3 IMAGINARY WORLD(NOVEL)

Brianna sat on her bed lost in the book she was reading .Most of her time she spent it reading the books her father had made a point on bringing back each and everyday.

He made sure to bring back at least two novels everyday seeing that his daughter loved reading them.

And whenever she sat down to read she could read for hours and hours without getting tired.

Ever since the day she heard her parent's conversation she became weary of them but sh knew deep down she should trust them. whatever they were hiding was for her own safety.

She so badly wanted to confront them and ask them to tell her whatever they were hiding from her but she aswell feared what their answers would be.

With Soo many thoughts and questions without answers she decided to drown her self in reading books

They might look like just books with words to anyone but to her they were her get way from life.

Whenever she read she laughed,she cried it was magical to her as she read .

It felt like everything played right infront of her eyes.

You could say her imagination was wild as she laughed out loud even her parents thought her preferences were wierd .

The novels were like her imaginary world.

A world where the impossible is possible .Funny,right?.

"Brianna,am going to the flowers do you wanna come along ?"Margaret yelled from the living room but got no response as Brianna was focused in her book though she did hear someone speaking but she couldn't understand the words as they sounded far and faint.

Margaret then decided to go and check on her daughter and see what she was doing these days she rarely came out of her room or spoke much but she didn't think much about it .it's normal anyway .

*Knock,knock*

Margaret gently knocked on Brianna's,door breaking her out of her thoughts as she looked up and said.

" Come in mom." Margaret opened the door and gently peeked in not fully entering and asked.

"You okay ? You didn't give me a reply."

Brianna slightly furrowed her brows as she didn't know what her mother was talking about ." What reply mom?."Now it was Margaret's turn to furrow her brows and say ."I just asked you if you would like to join me outside in the garden to water the flowers."

Brianna frustratedly slapped her forehead and said ."I am sorry mother I must've heard you but didn't understand what you said as my mind was focused on the book I was reading.sorry I will have to pass for today .This book has got me hooked .send my regards to the flowers for me."

They both giggled and Margaret made her out and behind the house.

After her mother left Brianna quickly went back to reading her book but suddenly she posed and thought."Dad is not around ,mom has gone to the back of the house to tend to the flowers so I am inside the house alone and as far as I know mom won't be coming in any time soon and for dad I don't have to worry he won't come back till evening.How about I do some research of my own .I am certain there must be something I can find....,Oh !right, I can start with their room .Come to think of it they never allow me in there room ."

With this Brianna hastily got up from her bed and walked out of her room without wearing her slippers inorder not make any noise while she slowly peeked through the house's back window and saw her mother busy watering the flowers.

She then slowly and silently closed back the window curtains and moved towards her parent's room .Then ever so slowly she held the door knob and twisted it as she pushed it open and swiftly entered while turning around to close it.

She managed a silent sigh while holding her chest relieved that she wasn't caught yet but silently smiled to herself as well on realizing how she looked.she looked like a burglar and funny enough she was excited.

She felt like a ninja or an assassin on a deadly dark dangerous mission.

Slowly,she lifted her left hand looking for the switch as the room was dark with the windows covered with dark thick curtains but the wall was plain .she frantically started looking for the switch until she found it and with a simple.

*Click*The room was flooded with bright light from the lamp as she turned around to look at the room she froze with what she saw.

Then ever so slowly her eyes narrowed .

FEYGLADE KINGDOM

*Knock, knock*

"Come in" Zerone said as he sat on his bed going through a document. Slowly the doors opened and a maid came in and bowed ."Your majesty the queen requests for your presence in her chambers."

Zerone lowered the document in his hands and said ."Tell her I will be right there"

The maid bowed and said before exiting the room." Yes your majesty."

Zerone stood up and made his way out of his room to the queen's chambers and gently knocked on her door.

"Yes come in ,the queen's voice was heard from the other side of the door.

Zerone gently opened the door and walked in while saying."Mother when did you get back and how is mother mildred?".

Zuriah who was seated on her bed calmly waved her hand and parted on the bed next to her gesturing him to come and sit.

Zerone did as his mother requested and sat patiently waiting for her to reply.

After awhile Zuriah calmly spoke ."I just came back son and for Mildred ,her condition is worsening yet she insisted on still using her powers .And she won't even take the healing potions.

.Zerone, I am really worried about her.".

Zerone sighed deeply and said.."I understand your worry mother .".Both sighed deeply before Zuriah finally said." You should go visit her sometime.she asked me how you were doing.Oh also, before I forget she said she could combine yours and her powers and try and force both of your voices through the veil so you could be able to contact the Goddess wherever she is ."

.Zerone nodded his head thoughtfully before saying." I also tried to tap into the veil but I failed.Maybe we should try what mother Mildred said since the both of us have the power to call into her.".

Zuriah nodded her head and said." You should go there tomorrow the sooner the better."

She then coughed lightly to get her son's attention again once more and hesitantly said.".

Uh...son,..also, you should try getting a queen aswell.Your getting old you need a heir and I also want to be able to carry my grandchildren."

When Zerone heard this,he awkwardly scratched his neck and smiled at his mother as he said politely.".Uhh..mother, ... I think I am still young,and you know I am not really interested in anyone yet and besides we still have this issue to finish."

Zuriah humped and said as she crossed her hands Infront of her chest ."young my foot.You are just trying to dodge getting married ."

Zerone tried coercing his mother again as he said."Mother , you shouldn't worry about me and besides you are still here and the kingdom does have a queen.Even if I don't get married and don't get an heir Orion my second in command can take care of the kingdom were we trained together and he is a good guy."

.Zuriah couldn't believe her son as she shook her head in disbelief."So that has been your plan all along?.You want me to keep doing everything even when I am this old .? Goodness this boy.
