LEE POV
I tried kissing Casey but she withdrew with shock written on her face.
"What happened?" I asked, "Do I have a bad breath?". I asked while sniffing my breath.
"No", she said and while pointing at my neck she asked " Where did you get that mark from"
As she said this, it drew the attention of others especially Queen Lucia.
"What mark?" Queen Lucia asked
"Oh it's nothing, my dad told me it has been on my neck since I was born." I said
"And who is your dad" Queen Lucia asked again
"My dad is George Chris, he's a soldier"
This one Queen Lucia is so curious about my mark and dad does she know something.
"Ok, where is he now?"
I paused and gave her a long stare before sighing and said "He is late" I watched as how Queen Lucia's curious face fell, she shook her head and heaved a sigh of relief. Then all of a sudden, tears in form of silver droplets rained down her face.
"Mum, you're crying" Tinkerbell said
"Queen Lucia, hope no problem. Hell no, wait are you in any way related to my dad?"
I turned to Casey who threw her head off my gaze, I glared at everyone and became so frustrated at the sudden quietness and I yelled, this time my powers was activated
CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON
I said as my voice echoed in the cemetery.
Then Casey came to me and said, "Cool down boy, did your dad tell you about your mum"
"No, anytime I ask of her he would yell at me so I decided she's dead and he doesn't want me to remind him of her, so I backed off"
"Nooo, I'm not dead. I'm not" Queen Lucia wailed and we all faced her. I don't understand what's going on here why is she saying she's not dead. Let it not be what I'm thinking.
"She's your mum Lee" Casey whispered what I dared to hear and imagine into my ear.
"My mum, my m... u.. m" I stammered
"No, you all are just pulling my legs right."
" How can we pull your legs or are you trying to say I'm lying" Casey said with a hint of anger.
" No that's not what I mean"
TINKERBELL POV
I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. I have a mixed feeling of happiness that my twin brother is alive and I'm seeing him, but I'm sad that I grew up without setting my eyes on my father and now he's dead. I thought of how my dad looks like, I only saw his pictures.
Tears came rolling out freely from my eyes. I saw mum looking at me, I think she doesn't know I'm crying. It was when I coughed that they noticed my eyes were red and swollen.
"Oh no Tinkerbell you've been crying" Mother said. I didn't say anything, I just stood still looking at me my feet, then I felt something warm on my shoulder and when I looked I saw it was Casey.
"I know and understand how you feel about the loss of your dad, but you've to overcome it just like how I did. Although mum is here but she will soon be gone" she said then paused "Take heart dear" and she gave me a light friendly pat on my shoulder.
Embracing a new feeling, I said "Can I see his grave?"
"Ok, if you insist" Lee said and led the way.
