Previous on My forgotten Memories:
"Though he loved you a lot. He wasn't very honest with who he really was or what he was a part of." He said.
I stared at him confused. "What do you mean?" I asked.
He looked into my eyes "Your father created you for a reason. Not like everyone else's reason. He made you be something special. He wanted you to live up to his legacy." He said Keefe cringed at the word legacy.
"Your what he was planning all along." The man said almost as if he said his thinking aloud.
Silence ran across the room as everyone was waiting for him to keep talking. A smile peeked from his lips.
"Hello Project Flaradon."
Now on My forgotten Memories:
I stared at him dumbfounded not knowing what to say. What did he want me to say? I had so many questions floating in my head.
"What do you mean 'Project Flaradon?" One of the adult puppets said.
She had cobalt blue eyes and heart-shaped lips. She also has long, chocolate brown hair. I looked next to her was a man who looked like Fitz. I bit my lip trying to keep my mind off what had happened.
"Project Flaradon was a project only 3 people knew about. I being one of the three. The project was prohibited due to the risk of failure and the risk of health. But I see now that your father didn't care." The man said.
Everyone was quiet and looked at me.
Risk of failure? Risk of health?
Sophie took two steps closer to me. "So, she's just like me?" She asked as she tugged out an eyelash.
The man shook his head. "She's nothing like you, Sophie. She was created to be entirely different to you." He said.
I shifted uncomfortably. I still had no words. Nothing would come out. Before I could start to talk another adult cut me off.
"Is that a good thing or a bad one?" A man said. He has blond hair and blue eyes. He kinda reminded me a bit of Robin Hood because of his "chiseled features", and husky voice.
The man looked at me. "That depends on her." He answered.
Everyone looked at me again. I hated people watching me. I looked down at the floor hoping they would stop staring at me.
"We're making her feel uncomfortable. " A woman said. She had turquoise eyes and wavy auburn hair.
I looked back at the man.
"Are you going to share the details Mr. Forkle? Or are you going to keep everything a secret from us?" Keefe said.
Mr. Forkle? I wanted to say something about how silly his name sounded but I decided to keep that comment to myself.
"Lyra's father was an elf." He stated.
Everyone nodded. They all looked confused and shared a "Well duh" expression.
An Elf? You got to be kidding me.
"Her mother in the other hand was human." He finished.
Everyone gasped.
"An elf and a human? That is unheard of." The woman with cobalt eyes.
"It is true. Elf and human couples are unheard of. That is because Lyra's father was the first." He said.
I was completely lost in this situation. I felt like I was solving a math problem but forgot the expression I'm supposed to use to solve it.
After that everything broke into chaos. Everyone started talking at the same time. There was confused faces, shocked ones, worried ones. Their thoughts were getting louder and louder. I wanted them to stop. I closed my eyes as I reached my hands to cover my ears wanting it to stop. All it seemed to do was get louder.
"STOP TALKING!" I shouted.
Everyone stopped talking. Everything was dead silent. They all stared at me in confusion. I took a shaky breath as it finally quiets down.
Mr. Forkle stared at me and nodded as if he knew what was happening.
"I think we should let Miss Lyra rest. It's been an exhausting day." He said.
Rest? I didn't want to rest. I wanted to go home. With that, I clenched my fist and ran out of the room.
"Lyra wait!" I heard Sophie shout.
I ran faster and faster and reached for the doorknob.
"Lyra wait!" Sophie said grabbing my arm. I froze.
"You can't leave." She said. My eyes watered.
"And why not?" I asked not looking at her.
"Because we need to find out what this means-"
"Your five minutes are up," I said.
Silence.
"What?" She asked.
I turned around and looked at her as my tears were streaming down.
"We promised 5 minutes. You promised me you'll take me back home." I said letting my voice crack.
She didn't let go of my arm. Nor did she say anything.
"I want to go home," I said. She bit her lip not knowing what to say.
"That won't be possible." I heard. I looked up and saw Mr. Forkle and the others.
"You can't keep me here," I said.
"You don't have a choice. We need to-"
"No! What you need is to take me home!" I shouted. I stood my ground. Everyone was silent.
Keefe smirked, "No one talks back to Mr. Forkle..." He whispered with a smile.
Mr. Forkle closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
"Listen I know it's hard for you to understand-"
"No trust me. I understand. I understand that your all insane!" I shouted once more. Sophie looked at me with shock.
I was standing my ground. I was going home no matter what.
"We need you to stay here." He said.
"Well, I don't want to stay here. I want to go back home. With my mom." I said.
"You can't."
"Why not?"
"Because you don't understand the complication of this problem."
"Then help me understand so I could go home," I said. My eyes burned.
"I'm not sure you can." He said. I took a deep breath. I wiped my eyes.
"I lost my dad," I said. Everyone was quiet.
Before Mr. Forkle said anything I cut him off "I'm not losing my mom too."
He opened his mouth shocked as well as everyone else.
"So. You either take me home. Or bring my mom here. It's your choice." I said.
Everyone looked at each other. Nobody said anything.
"I guess I'm leaving then," I said. I reached for the doorknob but someone pulled me away. It was the woman with cobalt eyes. Her eyes were filled with warmth.
She had the eyes of a mother.
I knew that look. My mom gave me that look. I looked away. It hurt.
"It's going to be fine-"
"No, it's not," I said as my eyes burned again. I shook my head.
"I'm in a brand new world with you guys talking elves and stuff. I don't know where I am. What you're talking nor do I know whether or not I should even trust you. You keep saying it's going to be fine when it's not. It's just a pity little lie you tell yourself to give someone comfort. I'm not going to fall for it. I'm not going to be stuck you with you people with your...what was it called? A Fairagon?-"
"Flaradon." Fitz corrected
"Did anyone ask you?" I asked. He looked at me frustrated but didn't say anything.
"My point is, you can't keep me in here. I have a home. I have an entire life back home. You can't just tear me apart from it and expect me to be fine. I left my mother back there. Alone. She has no contact with me nor does she know where I am. She's probably calling the police because I'm missing! It's all because you guys broke into my house and YOU *points to Keefe*, it was your bright idea for you guys to bring me here. So your half to blame." I said. Keefe looked down.
"You need to calm down." She said trying to comfort me. I shook my head.
"No, I do not. I want to go home." I demanded. Right after I said that I felt a warm sensation. It felt funny but it calmed me down. I stood there confused at what just happened.
"Are you calm now?" Keefe asked smiling at me.
I frowned and turned around refusing to look at them.
"I want to go home," I said one more time. Mr. Forkle looked at me and sighed.
"You can't always have things your way. Hopefully, this teaches you that." He said. I stomped my foot on the floor.
"Then what do you want me to do? My mom is out there alone! She needs me!" I shouted at him.
"I'll contact her and tell her where you are and not to worry." He said. I frowned.
"How do I know I could trust you?" I asked. He stood there staring at me.
"That depends on you." He said.
I rolled my eyes. All I wanted was to go home and I can't even do that.
"Fine. But you have to promise that you'll do what you said." I said. He nodded. I frowned.
"You didn't promise," I said.
He stared at me confused. "I promise." He said.
I pouted. "Do you pinky promise?" I asked. He stared at me.
"What's a pinky promise?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes and walked out to him. I grabbed his hand and lifted his pinky and lifted mine and pressed our pinky's together.
"There," I said.
"What was the point of that?" Fitz asked.
"What was the point of you correcting me?" I asked.
Everyone looked at Fitz and he rolled his eyes.
"A pinky promise or pinky swear is the touching of the pinkies of two people to signify that a promise has been made," I said.
They all shared a confused look except Sophie. She knew what a pinky promise was.
"I put my trust into you. So if you break the promise it's going to be really hard for me to trust you again." I said.
He nodded. He still looked confused but the point was that he got it.
"Am I the only one who's thinking where she's going to stay in the meantime?" Keefe asked.
All the parents looked around. I didn't want to be stuck with a family I didn't know. They all started talking.
"We don't know her ability." A guy with strawberry blonde hair and periwinkle eyes said.
"Not to mention we know nothing about her." The guy with silver tips said.
"How do you know she's not with Neverseen?" An adult asked.
What was "Neverseen"?
"She could just be messing with us." A girl with silver tips said. She looked like the other person's sibling or twin.
"Guys, she isn't a part of Neverseen." Sophie said.
"How do you know? She seems to act like it." Fitz said.
"You better watch it. I don't know what Neverseen is but if you're insulting me you better watch your back." I said.
"I don't think so. She seems alright." The strawberry blonde boy said. I looked at him and gave him a weak smile.
"She isn't. I feel her emotions. She's telling the truth. There is a whole lot of confusion floating around her." Keefe said.
"Neverseen could have erased her memories so they could get closer to us." The silver-haired boy said.
"Tam chill out. I think she's telling the truth." The teal eyed blue said.
"Are you serious Biana?" Fitz asked.
"I don't think we should be carried away. We will find a place for her to stay." Mr. Forkle said.
"This is ridiculous," Fitz said.
I shifted uncomfortably. "Fitz calms down," Sophie said.
"Yeah, we'll keep an eye on her," Keefe said and put his arm around me. I blinked and moved his arm away.
"Don't touch me," I said to him. He smiled at me.
" What? Are you afraid of me?" He asked with a grin.
"No. I just don't want you kidnapping me again." I said.
Mr. Forkle stopped us from talking. He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to me. I stared at the envelope confused. Why did he give me this.? I looked at it closely trying to figure out if there was a hint on it to explain to me why he gave it to me.
"What is this for?" I asked. Mr. Forkle looked at me.
"It was your father's. It was his plan for Project Flaradon." He said. I looked at it and back at him.
"Why are you giving it to me?" I asked. He looked at me with a serious expression.
"Because there was something he needed you to know." He said.
"Why didn't you open it," I asked and looked back at the sealed envelope.
"You could have found out everything about me in here," I said to him. He looked at me and sighed.
"I can't." He said.
"What do you mean you can't?" I laughed nervously.
"There's a spell on it that prohibits anyone from opening it." He said. I stared.
"Then why give it to me?" I asked. He smiled and handed me a note.
"The key to the information you seek is not something you find in an office or a chair but somewhere in the world and somewhere in someone heart,
The key will make this letter open and she'll be ready to make her mark."
I read the note again.
"I'm guessing the 'she' he suggested was you."
I took a deep breath and opened the envelope. Inside was a crystal. One that matched my necklace jewel.
"It's an according." The older looking Fitz said.
I pressed the jewel and it began to lit up. I almost dropped it but caught it just in time.
"Good one." Keefe teased. I frowned at him. Before I could anything my eyes widened as I heard the words.
"Hello, my daughter."
