Chapter 3
"My dad's what?" I said.
"Dead. In a car accident." Roz replied. I ran off and slammed the bedroom door and started crying. "C'mon… remember … 14 years ago, I've got to at least of seen my dad!"
I saw a vision of a friendly man, with brown hair and reddish sparkling eyes. Next to him I saw Duchess Beverly and next to her a sweet looking girl with brown hair and pink eyes. Then I realized what I had to do.
"Arya? You have to get ready for the dance! It starts in a half hour!
I got my purple dance dress and my Halloween shawl, and quickly changed. When I exited the room Chaz held out his arm and said: "shall we?"
I laughed. "we shall."
I saw Lindsey, extremely happy with Nate. As we entered the school building, we saw Roz DJing the party. Chaz and I danced for a while then he went to practice stunting. I took a last glance at him and ran to a waiting boat.
"Name?" asked the man allowing us aboard.
"Arya Hills" I said.
"Beverly's daughter, eh? Climb aboard."
I found an empty cabin.
I opened the door and took a seat when something hard bumped my legs and made a frightened high pitched sound. I could recognize the voice anywhere…
"Summer? "
"Arya?"
"What the. ….. what are you doing here?" I said.
"Going away from school. I want to explore! GIMME AN E! GIMME AN X! GIMME AN-"
"I get the point. Where are you going?"
"Cutopia. I guess same for you?"
"Yea. But now I regret it, Chaz is probably worried."
"No duh. Same for Travis."
~Meanwhile…..
"Where's Arya?" Chaz asked Travis.
"No clue. Wheres Summer?"
"Dunno. They ditched us or fell in the water."
"Probably. Well, they'll come back."
"I hope they do." Chaz said.
~Meanwhile….
"Summer. I had a vision and saw my dad… mom and some other girl. I think shes my big sister."
"We'll just have to find out.." Summer said.
~ later
"Welcome to Cutopia, please get off in a single file line and have a nice day!" the captain said.
As Summer and I exited off the boat, we noticed we were the only ones.
An overly cute looking girl called out: "BEVERLY! 2 NEWCOMERS!"
A woman exited a castle and came right over to us. "are you two from the academy? "
"yes," I said. "we are here for Halloween break."
"Names?" Beverly asked.
"Summer Smith and Arya Hills," Summer said.
Beverly's eyes widened. "Aryakins?"
Summer let out a loud giggle. I had a confused face. "If you loved me so much then why did you leave me behind?"
"Then I was a peasant and your father had a job. But your father got very sick and died that winter, a week after your birth. I could no longer afford you and left you to Rusty. I went to look for some work and became leader of Cutopia, but I could not leave the island, so I could not come for you." Beverly said.
"Wow. So I guess you're my mom. But do I have a sister? Was she 3 when I was born?"
"Maura? Yes. She is 17 now. Shes hanging out with her best friend now. You also have a brother, who was adopted a month ago. His name is Daniel and he's about your age."
"Cool. Well, can my friend and I stay for the break?" I asked.
"Yes, of course, now you must meet your siblings and maybe they can go back with you when you leave. "MAURA! DANIEL! COME MEET YOUR SISTER!"
I saw 2 people running towards us. Maura's eyes widened. "ARYA! DANIEL, THAT'S ARYA!"
2 other people started to follow. A Goth looking girl and the girl I had seen telling Beverly of our arrival.
"your majesty," the small girl said curtseying.
I shook my head."You can call me Arya."
"Aryanna, as well." Beverly…. Uh I mean…err mom said…
I cleared my throat. "I go by Arya…."
The little girl smiled. "Hi, Arya! Nice to meet you! I'm Poppy, and this is my sister Violet, but she goes by Vi."
Poppy's sister was the Goth girl, and she began to speak. "Poppy goes by Poopy."
"I DO NOT!" Poppy exclaimed.
I smiled, looking at Poppy. "You remind me of someone…"
But no one had noticed, and I realized no one heard me."Um…. Hello?" I asked. No one looked up.
"No one can hear you…." came a voice inside my head.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I do not know anymore….. all I know is that I needed you…."
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" then everyone looked up.
"Arya, are you all right?" Maura asked.
"yea… I'm fine… just thought I heard something."
They all nodded as if trying to understand, and kept their eyes on me for a few minutes. When they looked away I could feel my soul being taken from my body.
"You will be punished….."
I tried to scream, tried to kick, tried everything but nothing worked. I could feel the last bit of life starting to tear off me. Then they all looked up and saw me… and whatever the thing holding me was. They started screaming and pulling until I could see no more, and fell into a deep sleep.
I sat up and saw Chaz staring down at me. He smiled. "Need a hand?" he asked kindly. I grabbed his and he pulled me up.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"The Secondary world."
Cool. So wheres my mom?"
"Your mom?" Chaz asked, looking confused.
"Yes, Beverly Hills….."
"Who in the world is Beverly Hills?" Chaz asked.
"Queen of Cutopia…. Don't you know her?"
"Nope," Chaz said, shaking his head. "and where the heck is Cutopia?"
I cringed. Not exactly the sweetest secondary world.
"anyways," Chaz said grabbing both of my hands tightly until they bled.
"LET GO!" I screamed.
There was no longer a Chaz facing me. I was staring at a scary ghost. The one I had seen right before I left the real world.
I gasped.
AN: how did you like the chapter? How will Arya escape this 'Secondary World?' find out in the upcoming chapters.
