Chapter 7 - CHAPTER SEVEN

Meeting Natasha~

   Few hours later,the physician came to the palace to see queen Elizabeth for the second time,in less than two months. Everyone felt the queen was too fragile or possibly reckless to be receiving treatments on daily bases.

"Maybe she's trying to get the king's attention on her" some of the maid's would say while gossiping.

  "Or maybe it's a sign that she doesn't belong here in the palace,I mean who would want a weak person as a queen" the other Maids shock their heads in disagreement.

  Almost everyone had one or two bad things to say about Queen Elizabeth and this made Kira blood to boil each time.

"How's she?" Kira asked the physician who had just finished attending to the Queen.

"The Queen is fine,she just went through a shock that was triggered by something...you might as well have any clue to what happened to the queen?"the physician asked.

  Kira nodded sadly. She didn't know what happened neither did the other queen explain what happened,they just claimed that they found Elizabeth lying unconsciously inside the garden,it didn't make much sense to Kira but she couldn't dare question the other Queen.

  That night,the weather was chilling and quiet,it was a full moon night and so the cloud was bright. Elizabeth woke up from her deep sleep to meet the chilling hour of the night.

   Inside the room was dark and Elizabeth couldn't see properly,she felt weak and the pain in her head made her groan.

  "Huh...my head hurts...wat happened?"Elizabeth managed to recall going to the magic pool but what happened next was all blank in her mind.

  "You should rest your head a bit, hurting ur brain won't do you any good". Someone said within the shadows of the room.

  Elizabeth looked up almost immediately, looking alarmed and scared "who's there?" Elizabeth asked but there was no response.

All of a sudden, something moved within the shadows and Elizabeth was sure that there was something or someone inside the room with her.

  "Show yourself" Elizabeth felt the cold breeze rush into the room and brush her hair. The sharp stare of someone was fixed on her but Elizabeth couldn't see the person.

  Slowly she came down from the bed and tried standing up when something crawled out of the shadows towards her window where the moon light shown brightly.

  It was a creature,a strange creature with the body of a cat, the tail of a snake and wings on its back. The creature climbed on the window and sat before licking it's paws like that of an actual cat.

  "A cat..." Suddenly the creature transformed it self into a woman in her 40s and then sat on the window looking at Elizabeth with a lovely smile on her face.

  Elizabeth eyes went wide seeing the cat-like creature transform Into a human, Elizabeth screamed in horror "Ah!...who are you?...what are you doing..." Elizabeth jumped right back on her bed pushing herself back into the bed.

  The woman stood up and tried to approach Elizabeth but Elizabeth rushed towards the door only to fine it locked. Elizabeth was panting and breathing so hard she didn't notice that the woman was standing behind her.

  "It's ok,am not going to hurt you" Elizabeth turned to meet the woman standing closed to her "Go away,go away from me...help, somebody. Cristal... guards!" Elizabeth screamed loudly.

"No one is going to hear you,I placed a spell in the room and so no one will come" The woman said to Elizabeth,who was still trying to open the door to no avail. Elizabeth then took a mold sculpture that was beside her, although it was heavy,she managed to lift it and point it toward the woman in front of her for defense, at least she wasn't going to give up without a fight.

  "What do you want from me?how did you get in here" Elizabeth asked looking like someone who just saw a ghost for the first time.

  "I flew in through the window and am not her to harm you"The woman said but Elizabeth didn't seem to believe a word from her. The woman took a step towards Elizabeth,who had her eyes completely focus on her.

  "If you could just give me a chance,I will explain everything to you,I promise I won't harm you" the woman's voice was so calm and lovely and for some reason it made Elizabeth a little relax but she still didn't put the sculpture down.

  The woman signed."My name is Natasha and am your guardian". "My what?!" Someone flew into her room through her window,and claimed to be her guardian,as if such things exists and now expects her to believe it,was she crazy or something.

  The woman seem to smile a bit,and Elizabeth found it kind of creepy. Why was she smiling?

"I understand that it doesn't seem to make much sense to you but at least drop the sculpture,you are just punishing yourself,beside you don't even know how to fight."

  After much thinking, Elizabeth finally decided to keep the sculpture."What do you want with me?did the king sent you?"Elizabeth didn't stop the questions.

  Natasha seem to look offended by Elizabeth question but she didn't respond to it either.

  "I should leave now " Natasha walked towards Elizabeth a slowly held her palm. "Elizabeth Williams,your journey has began. You are going to face Alot of obstacles,but just remember I will be there. Just call me and I will come to you" Natasha said and slowly began to fade away.

  "I don't understand,you still haven't answered my question,how did you know my name?where are you going?" But before Elizabeth could finish her statement, Natasha had already disappeared into thin air.

  What did she mean by her journey had already began,what journey was she referring to. Elizabeth stood on the spot confused. She felt so lost and all she wanted to do was see her mum. Why haven't her parents come to visit her yet? Maybe mum would know one or two things, right?she actually gave birth to me,she should know something. Elizabeth thought to herself .
