CHAPTER TWO- Ally's purpose

Ally hasn't been told the reason why she was brought here, yet. But she did demand that she take a look around as proof that she really is in another world.

She wasn't alone when she did this. Drake was asigned to follow her and make sure that she doesn't walk into trouble. She wasn't quiet during this period of time.

"Will you ever stop talking?" said Drake covering his ears.

"I'm sorry if you're annoyed," said Ally in mocking tone and gave Drake a sinister smile.

"What do I have to do to make you keep your mouth shut?" begged Drake.

"I know you know my purpose here. So tell everything you know," said Ally.

"But Oedea told me not to tell you anything until she does," said Drake.

"Then in that case, I'll just keep on talking," said Ally, "And girls are very good at talking on and on and on – "

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you," said Drake covering his ears even tighter.

"Go on then," said Ally impatiently.

Drake took a deep breath and brought Ally to a place away from where everyone could hear their conversation. He pulled a log for them to sit down on and he began to tell Ally her purpose in Thyme.

"Okay, you're here because you're the Chosen One," Drake began.

"The Chosen One? Is this some kind of – "

"Shush!" said Drake before continuing, "The Chosen One, not by us, by Matilda,"

"Who's Matilda?" asked Ally.

"Matilda, she's someone who has protected Thyme for many years," said Drake, "She's the one who fought the evil sorceress, Granada many years ago and has protected Thyme eversince,"

"And what does Matilda have to do with me?" said Ally not understanding anything.

Drake slapped his face.

"It seems that Matilda has chosen you to inherit her powers, she has decided to give it to a human like yourself," explained Drake.

"But I don't have any powers, Drake. And how is it that you know I'm the Chosen One?" said Ally.

Drake leaned closer and whispered into Ally's ear, "Because, Granada kidnapped your sister,"

Ally's eyes grew big and she was in shock and her heartbeat was beating fast again like it had before when she had been looking for Roxanne back home. Her face turned white and she fainted on Drake's lap.

"Ally? Ally! Wake up! Get up!" Drake said panickly while slapping Ally's pale face.

He carried her on his back and brought her to Oedea. Oedea was horrified when she saw what condition Ally was in and immediately shot Drake an angry look after he had placed Ally on the bed.

Oedea tried her best to recover Ally from her state, but it was hopeless.

"Drake Davis, what did you do?" demanded Oedea.

"Nothing!" Drake answered.

"If you did nothing, then why is she as white as the sheets?" said Oedea with her voice growing deeper and deeper.

"Well … I did tell her her purpose she was in Thyme, but that's all!" said Drake.

Oedea shook her head, "I knew this would happen. How did she manage to make you tell? She must have done something. Did Matilda's powers finally show in her?"

"No, she just couldn't keep her mouth shut and she was so noisy! I couldn't take it!" said Drake.

The doors swung open all of the sudden and in came a blond headed boy and had a funny king of smile on his face. Donovan followed soon carrying a small child on his shoulders. The child was laughing and then struggling to get off his shoulders. He bent down and placed her on the marble floor.

She ran around the room before stopping to have a look at Ally. She climbed onto the bed and stared at her.

"Daddy, who's that?" she said poiting at Ally.

"That Resha, is Ally, she's a very important person here in Thyme at the moment," said Donovan.

"But Daddy, why is she all white?" asked Resha.

Donovan took a closer look and scratched his head confussingly and looked at Oedea and Drake.

"Yeah, why is she white Oedea?" he asked.

"Your brother here, told her her purpose and she was so shocked, that she turned white and fainted," answered Oedea as she shot angry looks at Drake.

"Idiot!" said Donovan to Drake.

"What was I suppose to do? Listen to her chatter all day long? It's horrible!" said Drake.

"And I'm still surprised as to why Oedea put you in charge of the Thyme army," said Donovan.

"Daddy! Daddy! She looks like Snow White!" Resha cut in.

"Yes, that's nice dear," Donovan answered.
