Forever Isn't Always

Chapter 10

‘’They aren't your people Ciara, King Raldolph isn't your real father'' Jasmine said

‘’I don't believe you'' I said. I didn't know what to think. She seemed to be telling the truth but I couldn't beleive her.

‘’If you need proof then look at yourself in the mirror and see your true face, follow me'' she said and I did what she wanted. There were a lot of emotions going through me at that moment but I wanted the truth.

She got into a room. It looked strange because there was only one object in the room…a video.

‘’Are you sure we aren't in the wrong room'' I asked her cause I thought she meant what she said metaphorically and not literarlly.

‘’I meant what I said Clara…I didn't mean it metaphorically'' I blushed and felt stupid. I had forgotten that she had a gift of mind reading. Why didn't I have a cool gift like her.

‘’You do have a gift Clara, we just don't know what it is yet. And mind reading doesn't always feel good''.  She said glancing and giving me a sad smile.

‘’What do you mean that I have a gift?''Curiosity was coursing through my voice this moment.

‘’Look at yourself first''She said. Now I felt shy, I had been comatose for two days and probably looked bed ridden and horrible. I walked slowly to the mirror but what I saw shocked me.

As I looked at myself and couldn't recognise myself.

The only recognisable thing was my figure and height. My skin looked olive toned and had a healty glow to it. My hair was now golden in color which was different from my brown hair. It had been shoulder lenght and curly before but now it was nearly waist lenght and wavy. My eyes weren't grey anymore they were now golden and seemed to have lines like the rays of the sun. My lips were now rosy red instead of pink. 

I couldn't believe my eyes or understand it. 

‘’How? Why?'' I asked Jasmine. I couldn't find the words to say and couldn't explain how confused I was. Neither she nor John seemed surprised with my new look. 

‘’This is what you were supposed to look like since the moment of your birth but because you were born on the other side, you took on the human form.'' she said, I could detect a trace of pride and sadness in her eyes.

‘’But where am I from? Why do I look like this?'' I had lots of questions. I didn't even know where to begin.

‘’You are a fae, But also human. Fae from your dad and human from your mother''. Fae were magical creatures we couldn't see in the other side but my people beleived and knew they were real. So a fae wasn't hard to digest

‘’If my dad is a fae, then why did my mum die. Why wasn't she saved?'' I was confused

‘’Your father tried his best but it was beyond his control'' she said but she seemed worn out

‘’So you're saying my dad…KIng Raldolph was cheated on by my mum'' I asked her 

‘’You're mum didn't mean to'' she said

‘’Is that all I get, that she didn't mean too'' she seemed pale now.

‘’I have to get you to bed'' John said holding both her arms.

‘’Thanks'', she said still holding on to his arm

‘’Are you alright Jasmine?'' I asked her, I couldn't help myself if I lost someone else.

‘’I'll be fine Clara. I just need some rest. John will handle everything. Just wait here'' she said and tried to give me a reassuring smile but it didn't work. So I just smiled back at her.

John took her out of the room and I was left there for while. I looked into the mirror once more and wondered what other surprises were coming.
