poop, I woner how much there gardener gets paid. Walking past another window, I pause and look out the window.

 

"It's beautiful." I whisper, looking at all the colors and the shapes some of the bushes are in. I spot a group of people, who are walking casually throw the paths. Flora, Chase, Sierra, and another girl I don't know. Maybe it's Janessa or Asia? Although, Flora, Chase, and Sierra are just in jeans and shirts the other girl is in a nice, sky blue, elaborate sun dress with her brown hair done up in a pretty braided bun. I turn away from the window, ushering Garret and Molly to comtinue. My nerves are beginning to eat at me again. Please, be a nice king and queen, like the ones in Tangled . . . that disney movie!  They stop before a door, a couple minutes later. Oh god.

 

"Ready?" Garret asks.

 

"As I'll ever be." I whisper, playing nervously with my hands.  The doors swing open automatically, and I close my eyes. Take a deep breath, and follow Molly and Garret. Grabbing there hands so it doesn't look like I'm shaking as much as I really am.  I look around, I see the two chairs, where the king and queen would be sitting. Windows line the wall behind the chairs. Suits of armor line the walls to my left and Right, aong with the two guards standing one each side of the door.  A long rug leads from the door to the chairs, but  like I said before... No one is there.

 

"Oh Edmund!" I hear a women say, and then two grown up pop out of from behind the curtains on the left. What were they doing back there?  Then the man who I assume is the king and named Edmund, pulls the curtain back. and I see there is a door the lead to a balcony. The man has graying hair, and is nice built. In a suit. He doesn't look like a king, more like a business man. The women is blonded haired, with curls falling down her shoulders, in an elegant day time dress. She has a tiara like thing in her hair, but I assume it isn't the actual crown. I take in another deep breath, and the walk over to us, trying to not look at me. They each hug Molly and Garret, and finally look down at me.  "I didn't think it was true!' The women whispers covering her mouth, looking me up and down.  She grabs the kings hand.  "Oh... Lyra. It's so nie to see you again. We've arleady started our best doctors and scientist on getting your memories back." She smiles at me.

 

"That's is.... a I mean.. Thank you." I say, and she smiles more.

 

"It's alright dear, no need to be so proffessional." She says, wrapping her arms around me.  "Oh, Chaston will be so happy to see you again." She says. Chaston?

 

"The princess?" I ask, and she nods. I was friends with the princess?  That's good . . . I think. Doctors, they have people trying to find me a cure! What if they do? All my memories will come back, that's a good thing. Isn't it?  Although, it's kind of a cruel trick to play in a dream. I discretely pinch my arm, this can't be a dream though.

 

"-edding be back on? I expect invitations."  I catch half of what the queen was talking about. Edding? Wedding?

 

"Oh," Molly glances at me,   she looks at me when they're talking about a wedding?! "With the memory loss... we ah... we just thought we would hold off on that." Molly whispers, I still hear.

 

"Wedding?" I ask, joining forgetting about if this a dream or not. I'm to young to be getting married. Garret sighs, and rubs the back of his neck.

 

"You didn't tell her?" the king asks, and I look at him. Oh boy, did I just get my parents in trouble? I start playing with hands nervously again.

 

"She's lost all her memories, Edmund.  She doesn't know our ways, she knows human ones." Garret  says in my defense. Human ways? Yeah, they don't usually let 15 year olds get married! "Besides, Frederick  doesn't want to marry her with out her memories of her feeling for him." He whispers, but not quiet enough. FRECERICK! He was going to be my husband? Did I have feelings for him?  Oh god no wonder he hates me!

 

"Garret!" Molly smacks his chest, I wasn't supposed to know about Frederick and mariage either.  Just like I can't know about the accident. Placing my hands at my sides, I leave the room happy that we were still right next to the door.  Walking down the hall, I hear the door open again and Molly and Garret asking for me to stop so they can explain. I shouldn't be as mad as I am at them, but I hate them knowing things about my past and not telling me! Poor Frederick, and what is this they're having people do research thing about? I'm not staying! I told Chase and Flora I wanted to meet my parents and go.  Although, they're my parents! This is my home, shouldn't I stay here? What about Sophie and Melanie? I start to run, those two yelling behind me aren't helping me any. I run, and run, and run. I bang through a set of doors, leading my outside. The garden. It's even better in person, or at least better then what the window showed. Chase and Flora! They were out here before! Maybe I can fin them, and get my traveling stone back. Chase took it from me at the house. Running through the flowers and bushes my nose is attacked with different smells. Out of know where a dog that's litterally foaming from the mouth pops out of one of the bushes. I'm dead! Holding up my  hands, I scream. Then it's silent, the dog is gone! I open my eyes hugging myself, it got cold.

 

"Oh my god!" I whisper, looking at the frozen dog in front of me. It's frozen solid in a block of ice! Looking at my hands, I jump with excitement! My powers! Wait, did I kill it? I start backing away from the ice block, I don't know how to undo it! I don't know how I did it!  Running again, I see a fountain. Running to it, and stopping there. How big is this stupid garden? Maybe I'm just that slow of a runner! Touching the water, I sit on the edge. I was going to get married to Frederick,  I must've liked him a lot . . . probably loved him. I'm 15 though, I don't know what real love is!  I look around the whole garden, where could they be? If they went back inside I'll never find them!  I walk around the garden now, not really looking anymore. That's when I hear a girl laugh. Then a 'shhh' It's close, like on the other side of the bush to my left close.  Walking back the way I came and peeking to the left where there is a fork in the road I didn't take. There is a blonde haired girl, fake bleach blonde hair girl. Wearing a skimpy what I assume is supposed to a sun dress. Next to her on the grass is  a boy,  with dark brown hair,  and deep brown eyes. He is in a suit. He is very very VERY good looking!  The girl pushes her lips on to his, and pushes herself away. That was abrupt, and something I didn't need to see.

 

"Tell me one more time!" the girl attempts at sounding sexy, to my ears she failed. He throws his head back, smiling maybe but he doesn't look happy, white teeth shining. He spots me peeking! Oh shit! I move,  and speed walk away.  Oh wow, Lyra way to go! I hear noises behind me, and I think he is chasing after me. Damn, he is probably going to cuss me out for snooping! Making a sharp left into a small hole in the bushes, to catch my breath he appears.  "What is it? What did you see?" The girl asks next to him, trying to grab his hand. He steps away from her looking around.

 

"I thought I saw the Castir girl, but she's been dead for two years. It's not possible." He says, was that pain I saw in his eyes when he said my name? Should I com out and be like, yeah it was me! No! I stay put, and the two of them walk off.  God has everyone in this freaking town seen me!? Peeking out to see if they're gone, I slip out breathing again.  Running off the Find Chase. Speed walking, and on a mission I walk the opposite way then that boy and girl.  Hearing another girls scream, and a boy laugh I head that way. The boy was Chase! Running now, I leave the garden out in the open I spot a lake, and a dock. With teenagers on it. Chase, Flora, Frederick, and the other girl. Swimming! There things are sitting on the sand. Waiting a moment to catch my breath, I look for my stone. Spotting it laying on his shirt, I wait for them to all be distracted. I want to go home, not necessarilly back to Harris, but back to Earth! An undog like bark errupts from behind me.

 

I turn, the dog! Jumping away, and yelp. Making a run for my stone. The dogs chases after me, barking and something else that I've never heard! 

 

"Lyra?" Flora yells, and I see her and  Frederick running towards me, Chase is swiming out of the water. The other girl is frozen solid, staring. Reaching my stone, the dogs takees me tumbling on the ground. It's growling and dripping with slobber hvoering about my and holding me down. 

 

"Get off you freak!" I scream, trying to push the thing off of me. Then it flies up, and snow and ice falls on me. I just shot it! Good I hope it's  dead this time!  Scrambling to find my stone again, on on my hands and knees. 

 

"Lyra?!" Flora yells, almost to me. Finally I feel the stone in my hand, and I stand gripping it. Getting a good look at the one girl I don't know, she's crying. My bedroom! My thoughts go to my room, my bed and dresser and TV. Then I feel all tingly and then pulling. Back on my feet, I'm in my room. Dropping the rock, I fall to the floor. Bawling my eyes out. Why can't I just be normal!  No I just happen to like an alien or something! Glancing at the clock,  I get up after a while. It's 10:44 at night. Shower and then go to sleep! Leaving my room quietly I head to the shower. Then once I'm done I'm back in my bedroom. I fall asleep instantly.

 

I wake up to a Harris singing me happy birthday, like I normally do. Rubbing my eyes, I thank him as well as push him out of my room. Time to get ready for my last day of school, and my 16th birthday. Grabbing rnadom jeans from my dresser, and walking into my closset grabbing a shirt. I get dressed then straighten my hair, something I never really do. Then shoving on my Roxy slip ons, I head to the bathroom brushing my teeth and checking make-up.  I jump dropping my toothbrush when Sean practically knocks down the door. Picking up the toothbrush, and rinsing it. I leave the bathroom. He isn't happy or something.  Using a kitchen cup to rinse my mouth, I wait for Sean. Harris, is humming happy birthday cooking my special pancake breakfast that I wont touch. Remembering that I left my phone in my room, I head back up. Opening the door It bumps into something and I imediately apoligize thinking it's
