Kate's Mystical pen

WEIRD KATE AND HER DISCOVERY

CHAPTER 1

Kate sat on the balcony of her small room in the castle, writing her second book. She wanted to write something imaginary but it skipped her mind. So she decided to stare at the moon shining gleefully in the sky and giving her hope about her coming Superbook. She stood up to have a full view of the moon and placed her hands on the fence-like wall in her front. Her room is on the 13th floor of the 30 floors in the castle. As she was wobbling her pen, it fell from her hand and her eyes follows the pen as its journey from her to the ground, but strangely held in the middle. Immediately, Kate remembered the law of gravity and was skeptical about this. 

Scrambling to pack her books, her eyes widened in surprise as she wonder what was happening to the pen. She carried her old lamp to check it out. 

Two maids saw her walking briskly to an unknown place to them, one said to the other. "She is drunk with her books again." Kate heard this remark but remained quiet because she was used to that. Everybody knew her to be a bookworm. She went outside, the guards were reluctant to let her go, but her enchanted smile enchanted them once again. She went out to where her pen was, it was still there, but now dancing. 

"This is strange." She said with her furrowed questioning eyes.

As she drew a step near the pen, she was held by an unknown force for a few seconds she couldn't move. 

"What the heck?" She mumbled to herself. Freed, she went to where the pen fell but couldn't find the pen anymore, walking around the spot where she saw the pen, she suspiciously checked if anyone was there but didn't see a soul, everywhere was silent, even the cricketing cricket was silent. She went back to her room a bit scared and confused. 

"Is this real or am I dreaming?" she questioned herself. Walking up the stairs a sudden flashlight flashed her memory and she saw herself standing at the front of an empress in black, so scary thing, she was laughing hysterically with a really bad set of teeth, her eyeballs were like that of crocodile's, her broken lips remind her of the toad she saw earlier in the day. 

"Hey miss" she was jolted by the call of a male attendant who wonder what made her stop suddenly and stood still like a statue. Kate went back to her room quietly and didn't mention this to anyone. As an inquisitive girl, she slept late thinking about this discovery, she didn't even know the time she slept.

It was 3:45 am, Kate woke up sweating profusely, she had a bad dream. She couldn't sleep again throughout the night. She was about to sleep when 'buddy', her small table clock started singing which means time to get ready for school. She slowly got up from bed, went to the bathroom and appeared at the front of her mirror, only to see her eyes swollen and hair scattered, she wondered why it was like that, then she saw two tiny men on her head, she was scared and screamed. 

"Why are you screaming?" one of her maids said to her coming inside the room.

"Wait, what happened to your hair?" she asked

"Uhmm.. Don't worry about that, I made it that way... and... why I screamed... You don't have to know that." She said stuttering and pouting her little lips. Her faint smile faded immediately after the maid left. She had her bath and got ready for school, though other things happened to her on her way to school.

 Everything seems strange to her and she looks sick due to the encounter she had with her pen the previous day. Mr. White her driver noticed her sad face, he wondered why it was that way because the little girl is always happy whenever she's on her way to school. 

"Miss are you fine this morning," the driver asked. She only looked at the front mirror looking at the driver and shook her head. She looked down to the book on her lap, rubbed her palm on it, and dropped it to look at the mirror only to find the driver still looking at her. As their eyes met, she reasoned it must be the way her face was, she immediately gave him a faint smile and said "I'm fine" smiling like a woman who lost her husband and giving the sympathizers around her a smile of hope and strength. 

"Ok miss, if you say so" Mr. White replied her knowing fully well, she wasn't okay.

   "Mr. White can you come to pick me up by 4 pm please," she said with a watery face displaying her sadness

"Why miss, don't tell me, you want to stay for two extra hours?". Mr. White said this with a frown clearly and boldly written on his face.

 " Mr. White, am sorry I just have to get some things done". He looked at her, nodded his head confused. The girl seems sad and he doesn't want her to cry. He smiled gently and asked her "What do you want me to tell your dad, you're doing at school by that time?"

 " Can you tell him I am in my room, sleeping, and doesn't want to be disturbed?"

Mr. White reminded her she has an official lunch with her dads-workers who's also family friend by 2:30 pm.

"Oh no!!" Kate remarked.

 "I'm really tired and sick of these fancy things my dad does," she said pouting her lips.

"You said what miss?"

 "Sorry... Uhmm.. I was... Just... You know.. Never mind just figure that out" she said not even waiting for Mr. White's response. Confused about what to do, watched the girl as she ran to the main building till she was lost in the crowd of students.
