Noah’s POV:
“Jacen, Noah. I am so glad you are here. I missed my sons.” Nina hugged both of us tightly. She didn’t even notice Amelia and Kassidy behind us.
“Me too, mom,” Jacen and I told. That’s when her eyes wandered over the two girls.
“They are our friends, mom. We got an important thing to tell you,” Jacen seriously told.
“Yeah, I know. Something is wrong. I do not know what it is. But it’s running all over the flash news. Iam watching Tv right now,” Nina anxiously told. I never thought what happened in the academy will be over the flash news.
“What? What’s on the news? We need to see it now, mom,” Jacen said, motioning the girls to get inside. Nina glimpsed Amelia and filled us with more questions.
“She’s injured. Why didn’t you tell me anything about this? Get inside. Isn’t it important? We need to help her,”
“Iam okay. It’s not a big issue,” Amelia said as Nina led us inside the hall. It’s been a long time since I looked at my house. I forgot about how much I missed my play station. I don’t miss it anymore. I got a lot of things going in my mind than thinking about silly things.
“See the flash news and fill me with everything that happened in the Academy. But first of all, where is Sydney? Is she’s in the Academy or will she come here?” Nina asked with expectations? We all got a disappointed look on our faces.
“We will explain it to you, mom? Now get the first aid,” Jacen changed the topic. Nina nodded and came back with the first aid to treat Amelia. My mom will take care of Amelia. We need to see the news.
“Increase the volume, bro,” I asked Jacen. Instead of hearing the news reporter’s voice, Iam seeing some footage. Footage of the moment when Pamela announced that Sydney’s an imposter. The whole announcement happened in the academy with Pamela playing in the news.
“She’s a fucking liar. How…how can they show it in the footage? Everyone will believe this stupid lie.” Jacen shouted with his temper rising.
“Explain what’s going on, Jacen? The news reporter spoke something stupid. Iam clueless,” Nina asked while treating Amelia’s hands.
“What the hell did the reporter say? I don’t want to hear this fake news,” Jacen barked. He threw the remote down as the battery rolled over the floor.
“They say that there will be a new Queen and king for Slateville. Then I saw Pamela in the news. Where the hell does she come from? We kicked her out,”
“We kicked her out, and she killed Lydia. She’s a backstabbing bitch. Iam glad I shot her,” Jacen yells and pacing back and forth in the hell.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop it. I understand nothing. Lydia’s dead. You shot Pamela,” Nina widened her eyes. She can’t take everything in a single day.
“Hear me, mom. Whatever Iam gonna say, it’s true. Don’t trust the news. We really need your help. Before that, you need to know more about what happened in the Academy.” I said, instead of Jacen, who preferred to stay silent. He will shout from his throat and wake the whole neighbourhood if I let him tell the story.
“Okay. Say it,”
“Queen Victoria has a daughter years ago. Her name is Sapphire and everyone thought she’s dead as she was food poisoned on her sixth birthday. But Lydia, your friend, is the one who saved Sapphire. It turns out to be that Sapphire is Sydney. Lydia named her Sydney and raised her. Sydney found out the truth about herself and confronted Dorothy, who is Victoria’s sister. She was the one who’s behind all of this problem. Meanwhile, Pamela is working for Dorothy after we kicked her out. Unfortunately, Lydia came to the Sapphire Academy when the real truth came out. Lydia gave back all the real memories of Sydney which she took away years ago. Everyone knows that Sydney’s the heir to the kingdom. That’s when Pamela killed Lydia. She died in Sydney’s hands. Dorothy, her daughter, and Pamela escaped from the academy. Sydney’s in grief. She didn’t talk to anyone. Instead, she wants to save Lydia. No one is innocent in this world. So, Lydia’s not in heaven, but hell. Sydney went to hell through a portal.”
“We all wanted to save her. Before that, Dorothy returned. She locked the Queen and king with a spell. Pamela was the one who told all the lies which you heard in the announcement.”
“Here, she is Kassidy. She’s the one who showed a way to Sydney to save Lydia. Iam not blaming you. Don’t take it wrong,” I said, looking at Kassidy for a minute.
“So, Dorothy decided to execute Kassidy. She even sabotaged all the portals in Kassidy’s room. At last, Jacen shot Pamela when we saved Kassidy. We have no idea whether or not she’s alive. I hope she’s dead. So, we need your help, mom. We need to find a portal to hell to save Sydney. She’s the heir to this kingdom. We need to stop Dorothy. That’s why we escaped from the academy.” I told everything and seated on the couch. Now it’s up to my mom. She needed to process everything in her mind.
“Oh, my god. Everything was perfect. How things turn out is too bad. I can’t believe this.” Mom said with her hands over her mouth.
“It’s the truth. We can’t let Dorothy take over the kingdom.” Amelia said.
“Okay. It may take more time to take all these things at once. But Sydney’s life is in danger. Iam not going to waste any time thinking about it. I will think of a way to find another portal,” Nina said, and Kassidy approached her.
“Iam a witch too. I think I can help you once you found a portal,” she said determinedly.
“It’s settled. Let’s do this.”
