Chapter 12

Sloane

"This can't be happening," I said to myself.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand," Daisy said.

"I've seen that before back home," I replied, taking a step back from her.

"Are you sure? Because I was told that this was only made once every few years," she said.

"Trust me, I've seen it before. How did you get a hold of this?" I asked.

"There are dwarves who make snow globes for when the winter season comes around and I just happen to see this one and they let me take it since I was going to put it in display here," she replied.

There was absolutely no way this was happening. I just stood there trying to process what she told me. It couldn't be that possible now, could it?

"Do you want to sit down? You look like you're going to faint," Daisy said.

"No, no I'm okay thank you," I replied.

She looked at me carefully but I think she didn't want to say anything else. I wasn't sure whether or not it would help but I think it did for now.

I'm sorry that I came here like this and what not. I thought that globe looked familiar here since I saw something like it back home," I apologized.

"No worries at all," she said. "Besides, it's not every night I get someone running into my store before closing time."

"I bet," I mumbled.

I looked out the window and saw that it was dark enough for me not to be out this late. To think that I'm seventeen and I have a curfew. I knew my curfew was different back home than here; but with something out there, I would understand why this is enforced for me and Lucy.

"I really, really have to get going," I said.

"Oh yeah I understand," she said. "I am psychic after all. But I must suggest leaving the back of my store so that way no guards wouldn't have to suspect you of anything. It's the only way out."

I was forever grateful when I thanked her and said goodbye as I jogged towards the back door and ran out of the store. I looked in both directions as I turned towards the left since that's the direction I used to get here. I ran behind the stores and silently thanked god that most of the stores were closed.

I ran through an alley that led me to the road. I saw only a few people out and about but I had to get back before I got caught. I ran up towards the castle and managed enough to get to the other side before they pulled up the bridge. I only saw a few guards but they knew it was me since they saw me come here with Lucy the day I arrived.

This was so weird and messed up I didn't know whether to laugh at the situation or not.

The guards were heading out on patrol as I came inside and luckily I didn't caught. I tip toed quietly inside and rushed upstairs. I kept an eye out in case I ran into Lucy, Peter or worse; Edmund. Now I don't know how his temper is when he's super pissed or angry but I really don't want to be in that wrath.

I got up to my room and climbed into bed after I kicked my boots off and I fell asleep.

"Did anything interesting happen last night?" Peter asked at breakfast the next morning.

"Nope, nothing that isn't out of the ordinary. Why, what did you hear?" I said.

"Nothing that would alarm you Sloane," Lucy said.

I calmed down a bit but I noticed Edmund eyeing me a bit too closely. I wonder if he knew something I didn't.

"Have there been any word on the response for the ball?" Edmund asked, still not breaking his stare off of me.

"There had been some responses saying that they are coming but I'm still waiting on a few more," Lucy replied.

"How many people do attend these things?" I asked.

"

"I was informed this morning that someone did sneak away from the castle last night," Peter said and I almost choked on my drink.

"Sorry it went down the wrong pipe," I said.

"It's alright but then what's weird was that the same person did come back also," he said. "Was it either you or Lucy that left?"

"No," Lucy replied, looking at me warily.

I took a deep breath before I spoke. "It was me, I only went on the grounds because I needed air and it was only going to be awhile, I'm sorry if I scared any of you," I lied.

Peter only nodded as we got back to breakfast. Something was telling me that this was never going to end.

"Why would you lie to Peter?" Lucy asked me while we were out in the gardens.

"I'm sorry Luce; but I had to because I just had another flashback," I said.

"Really? What was it about?"

I explained to her what actually happened last night and how at this point I was close to telling them the truth but I did have fears of their reactions. I know that it's important for them to know in case I do ever go home but I'm not even sure what's the probability of that happening.

"Did you buy that snow globe?" she asked.

"No her store was closing, plus I didn't want to buy it just like that," I replied. "Although now you mentioned it…."

"Sloane," Lucy warned.

"I know I know I will say something for sure. It's just I can't believe that I may finally know what the hell happened that night and hopefully one step closer to finding out how I got here," I said.

I just hope that I was right.

After Lucy and I talked, we parted ways so I had decided to head inside. I was walking up the stairs when I felt some sort of presence around me. There was something that I couldn't shake off the feeling, but I continued my way towards the library.

When I got there, I was about to open the door when someone grabbed me from behind and I jumped. I spun around and saw Edmund standing in front of me.

"Could you at least give some warning before scaring the crap out of me?" I asked.

"I'm sorry but Sloane, I need to talk to you," he said.

"Do you think it can wait? I just need to look up something…"

"Actually, it can't," he said.

I looked at him for a minute before I sighed a little. "Sure just lead the way," I said.

He took my hand and linked our fingers together as he led me down the hallway. I had a gut feeling on what this was about but I wasn't so sure. I didn't want him to know about this now anyways. Not with whatever is happening that's happening right now.

Did that made any sense?

I saw that we came across his room. He led me inside and closed the door. I couldn't tell what his expression was on his face. I wish I knew though.

"What's wrong?" I asked, breaking the silence between us.

"Has something happened to you?"

"Not really no, why?"

"Why would you sneak out of the castle?" he asked.

Is that was this was about? "I thought I told you what happened this morning," I replied.

"I know but Sloane, I can tell when you're lying," he said.

"So, I did went out of the castle last night, big deal I don't know why you would care about what I do around here," I said.

"What makes you think I don't care what you do?"

"Come on Edmund, you hardly know me. Why all of a sudden you have an interest in me? Yeah, I'm from earth but in my time on earth though. I don't understand…"

"Sloane, I care about you and I don't want anything to happen to you. Also, I know you're hiding something and I can tell since you and Lucy are talking quietly with one another," he said as he took my hand and we sat down on the couch. "Please Sloane; tell me what's going on."

I looked into those dark brown eyes and I wanted to hug him and tell him nothing's wrong and that everything was fine. However, I would be lying to both of us if this was even close to the truth.

"Do you remember when I came here and I had no clue what happened or how I even got here?" I asked.

"Yes, has something happened?"

"I think there's more than what's happening," I said. "Edmund, I think I'm getting my memory back of what happened the day I got here."

A/n: OMG I'm super sorry for being so late. I hate this semester and with work giving me a hard time and writers block, I felt like this was never ending.

I hope this chapter is the best I did now that Edmund knows Sloane's secret. How will he react? You would have to stick around to find out of course!

I'll try to update sooner. I don't know when but it'll be sooner. I promise things will get very interesting from here on out.

Leave a review! They make me happy and I'm glad and thankful for you guys for sticking around(even when I do update less and it takes forever :D)

So hopefully I'll see you then. If not, well then, you know.

Until then,
Spike
