Fifty-three

Alana

I got to Mrs Morgana's house and was escorted straight to a room , not the study room, when we got to the door ,the maid told me to go in and she left .

I knocked on the door "come in", I entered the room , it looked like a females room , but looking at the aesthetics it looked more like a five year old room , not a grown woman's room.

So I am guessing it isn't Verly's room, It looked well kept but lack any inhuman feeling, meaning no one had been staying there.

As I kept staring at the things in the room, a memory flashed in my head , a memory I didn't even know I had, and it felt like I had been in this room before.

" Good afternoon miss Morgana" I greeted her , she looked up from the picture album she was staring at "Come Alana ,come seat with me" she patted the space beside her .

I walked towards her and sat down, "I hope their is no problem, because you sounded like you were crying on the phone".

"Not at all my dear , I called you here to avoid further problem, I'm sure you are wondering where we are, well as you have guessed it's not Verly's room , it's too Five year old to be Verly's room,

this is the room of my other daughter, Verly's older sister , she went missing on her Fifth birthday, and we haven't found her ever since,

I don't usually allow anyone into this room, Including my husband and Verly, but I really wanted to show you this room, because I know you understand what it's like to have a missing child", she held my hands .

I didn't know I was tearing up till I felt something roll down my cheeks, "I'm sorry Mrs Morgana, I really hope they find your daughter, no parent should go through the pain of loosing a child".

She brought her hands to my cheeks and wiped my tears away "Don't cry my there, you didn't do anything wrong, and thank you for feeling so emotional for me " .

I pulled her in for a hug and we were like that for a while, "i don't mean to bring back the memories but how did you lose her?",!I asked her

"Well it all happened on her Fifth birthday, her name was Leah, the most sweetest soul on the planet, she was very inquisitive about the humans,

So we decided to spend her birthday among them, and on our way back , we lost her, how it happened I still don't know, one minute I was holding her hands and the next I couldn't find her anymore,

We sent out people, I even went myself but we still couldn't find her , her link with us was cut off, which made everyone say she is dead, but I still believe she is alive ,

That's why I kept this room clean, since that day waiting for when she will come back to her mummy", I couldn't help but hug her again.

It was like I felt her pain, I understood what she was going through, "I'm really sorry you had to go through all that Mrs Morgana".

We went on to talking about different things, I told her all about my foster parents and the little of my childhood I remembered.

I didn't even know how long I had spent there till I got a call from Damien, asking when I was coming home as it was getting dark outside.

I said my goodbyes to her and went back to the palace, immediately I got back I went straight to my new room/ Damien's room .

He was just coming out of the shower ,when I ran and hugged him, "looks like someone missed me afterall", he teased and hugged me back.

We were like that for a while till I broke the hug,"Promise me you will find our children no matter what happens, I don't want to be in pain of not finding them , in years to come" I looked up at him with tears in my eyes.

"I promise you Alana , I will find them , Alive and we will all be happy, okay?, so please stop crying, and come tell me how your day went".
