My Secret World

Chapter 3- The arrival

Miss Jennette POV

Nicole is gone to the university, I hope all goes well because I for one knew what was awaiting for her that side. thanks heavens and the goddess that my phone rang when we were at the dinner table because I was nervous she would end up asking me questions about the bracelet.

I could not let Nicole know that they lost their father the day her mom decided to flee the country because they were attacked for rumors that her dad or mom was a witch, yes Dave was a witch but a good one at that; he always made sure that no one he knew get troubled by nuisance of people nor get hurt. this is how he provided for his wife and children because he helped riches get richer with his black magic powers.

I got interrupted by a buzz in my pocket and my phone rang, it was Nicole " hello Nicole" i I said with happiness evident in my tone. "hey ma'am, I just arrived and I thought I should check on you. how are you? how's Tasha? and Gift? does he miss me?" she said in excitement, though Goft always seemed to be annoyed by her, he is fond of her and I saw how sad he was that besides us being his adopted family, his only biological is leaving him behind. "we all miss you so much baby and Gift is sad that you gone" i replied with a small chuckle knowing that she wouldn't believe me.

"arg you don't have to cover up for him i know he's happy now that I'm gone" she sounded so disappointed "any way I got so irritated by this huge building, I have up and down, north and south looking for my dorm, I was just letting you know that o have arrived safely but another thing is that these people talk so weird i can barely hear what they say. " she said while she sounded ao tired and I could hear her yawning of sleep. "you should rest now my baby, and remember to come back and visit on holiday(as if she was in the same country), hope you get all the happiness you deserve girl" I said before we said our goodbyes and hung up.

Nicole POV

I just arrived to the Cambridge University after almost twelve hour flight to the airport and almost another two hours to the university. It's Tuesday around 9pm and I'm tired af, don't have the energy to talk and ask questions but what choice do I have I mean i have to pass so many security guards because it is at night and they directed me to my dorm and I reached there after so many failed attempts.

I get to the dorm, it is not like the other ones I've passed.I nocked on the open one to ask for some more directions. they were beautiful and bright they had so many features than ours, these ones are shared and built as if it's just to have a shelter. they were clean though and had warm water. I ran my self a warm water and surrendered myself under the water head for few minutes before I got out put on some leggings and my lucky sweater given to me by miss Jennette, she said it was her son's, Joel, who left ten years ago. he was a bit chubby, thats why his sweater still fitted me.

whenever I wore this sweater I felt and did things out of my reach, I could run my imagination and they would feel real. I would come out of troubling situations I end up in. like back when I hosted Tasha's friends because she knew her mom wouldn't let her party repeatedly and i stayed alone so why not. I had an encounter with some guy who tried his way with me but had had a good fight with him until he gave up and ran off. I believed it was my lucky sweater cos I felt as if rhougg im not fighting alone, someone was helping me because the guy yelped even though I did not hit him .

after putting on my clothes I rushed to crab my phone and rang Miss Jennette. we talked a bit before saying our goodbyes and she sounded so optimistic about me finding the happiness I deserve, like she knew something I didn't. but I like reading into things too much maybe that's why. I tried sleeping but I couldn't so I went to the balcony to get some fresh air, as my thoughts ran through and my mind thinking of how am I gonna survive and fit in thia foreign world I was caught by a shadow down the other building standing straight towards my direction. but something bizarre is happening; I could not see the person of that shadow. my skin started to itch, my mind slowly aching to see the person of that shadow, the hair strands behind my neck started rise and I could feel my heart yen for their presence.

I didn't really think of getting hurt when I just looked down the ground, it was a bit far from the balcony, three stories down and I climbed out leaving my feet hanging I wondered what to do next before I could see the rain drain going down. I slid my hands to the left towards it and tried to creep through it and landed on my feet forcing my ankle to twist but I couldn't care I wanted that shadow!

I got to meet with it, the strong dark chocolate and lavender yet again stroking my nose. it came to me held my hand and we ran until we got the long wide wall, I think we just past through the wall. we reached the biggest European ocean the got deep inside the salty water. I never asked questions until I felt the shadow held my weist and led me inside one of the aquaculture rondus. I felt at peace, I felt at home.

it was beautiful sculptured round house beneath the waters and there people living there, weird people by the way. mermaids, walking wizzards with a person's face, people with horses bodies. when I was I went to seat on the pearl like seat and made myself feel at home, he came towards me and ran his shadow fingers through my hair hair, his smell the same as that ghost back home. perplexing! first a ghost now a shadow? I wonder what's next.
