Chapter 28: Orena's Story Part One
Mindy stared at Eric, her long time friend for what seemed like an eternity before she hugged him tightly as memories came rushing back that she had never had and also couldn't remember. What confused Mindy the most is how she could have memories of these things that had never had and yet she still had them. Mindy let go and ran out of the building faster then they could see. She jumped onto the roof of the building and ran. 'Stop running and get back there.'
'No way, I need to think and your going to let me you witch.' Mindy yelled to her other self. She kept running and eventually made it to the beach miles away from Vegas. She sat down and then thought.
Flashback
I was born into a family with my father being human and my mother being a Mogriff. When I looked up into my parents eyes I smiled and laughed as I grabbed there hands and then my mother named me. My name is Orena and I'm a hybrid but I'm ok with it because right next to me is a boy named Eric and he was the first one other then my parents to grab my hand and laugh. Right then I knew that we would be great friends but neither of us had expected of what was to happen in the future.
It had been three years later and I had my best friend Eric right beside me when we were called to the village by Phobos. I didn't know the prince at all and so this was exciting for me or at least it would have been if it wasn't for what I heard. "Citizens of Meridian, look for the family of three. One is human and a wizard, the other a mogriff and the other is the hybrid. Bring the three to me so that I may get rid of the abominations. All those that refuse will suffer the fate that the three will suffer. Now go and find me these creatures. Also, bring all the children to me so that I may send them to war."
I looked up at my parents and could see fear in there eyes. Everyone scattered while kids were being picked up and taken to the prince. My friend and I were sent running away while our parents defended us. Eric and I had finally reached a cave that we could hide in and we went inside. Eric turned to me and hugged me but not in fear but in a loving way and then he spoke to me. "Orena, swear on Kandrakhar that you will never forget me please."
I didn't know what this Kandrakhar was but I promised on it that I would never forget him. Then we heard footsteps and he vowed to me that he would never forget me and then in ran two guards. Eric pushed me away and fought them by himself and he yelled at me to run and I did. I had no idea where I was going and I didn't care, I just wanted to make sure that I did what Eric wanted me to do. He had been the only loyal friend that I had in Meridian and I wasn't about to lose that friendship. Besides, he is very intelligent and I know that whatever he asked me to do was and is for the best.
I ran and ran until I bumped into someone and who it was that I ran into was a guard. He grabbed me and I screamed and fought to get loose but I wasn't strong enough to get loose and so I was dragged all the way to the castle. "Let go and where is my mommy and daddy." I screamed that the whole way hoping that the man might let go but he never did. Before we arrived at the castle I saw the guardians fly over head. "Please help me." I wasn't the smartest child but I did know about the guardians and so I screamed for help and saw one of them look at me and looked at me with a look that said 'You will be ok, don't worry.' They flew off and I felt better but I was still angry that they hadn't stopped for just a second to help.
Once we arrived at the castle the guardians were gone and Phobos stood there waiting to get to me. I was terrified by this and he could see it. Eric always told me to be brave when I was in danger but it was so hard not knowing what was going too happened. Phobos smiled at me evilly and it scared me even more. I did my best not to show him that I was scared but I couldn't do it. The next thing I knew, my parents were brought out and put in something with a big knife above them. I had no idea what it was and I grew more and more terrified. "Mommy, daddy. Please don't hurt them, I love them and they are my only family." I begged but Phobos didn't even budge and he waved his had downward and the last thing I heard from my parents were three words. "We love you." Then the knife cut off their heads and their blood splattered all over me. I couldn't move from that spot. I did cry however because I no longer had parents. How could he be so me to me that he would kill my parents right in front of me. I never did answer that question before Phobos grabbed me by the head. I could hear him say something but I wasn't sure what he had said. The next thing I knew, my memories were completely scattered and I remember only that my parents died and that it was Phobos that killed them. I remembered that the guardians had completely ignored me and they ran away. I also remembered a boy named Eric who is my friends and that he is being sent off to war. He told me that my name is Mindy then a portal appeared and Phobos threw me through and the next thing I knew, I was in an old looking building.
A woman came out and took me into the building to wash off all the blood on me. I don't remember why I even had blood on me. "Sweetie, where are your parents." The woman asked and I could only give one answer. "They're dead."
