Chapter 9 The Kingdom and the Mysterious Woman
John's POV
I should've known that I was going to be tricked right at the start by my sister. But I had been to busy trying to protect my identity. You see, as we entered the Kingdom I saw a glimpse of my brother.I was relived though because he didn't notice me; probably because before we had left to the kingdom I had put a little bit of brown dye in it and had put my brown colored eye contacts in.
"So, John. Are you ready to go home?" My sister whispered gripping my hand.
I knew I wasn't ready but I would have to do it sooner or later. I nodded my head looking over at Luke and Flora. The two kids had started running around looking through the windows of the stores we passed by. "Flora, Luke, stay by me."
The four of us walked down a few more streets until we reached the path that led to the castle. "So, remember to keep quiet. Mother is probably sleeping and the maids are most likely busy making lunch so we can probably sneak in and get you cleaned up for a proper entrance."
I was about to respond when I saw her. Her hair long and auburn as the autumn leaves. Her eyes black and mysterious while rimmed with glasses. Glasses? Claire? I had stopped in my footsteps continuing to stare at the woman. She passed by without taking in any notice in me and she turned the corner up ahead. "John. Johnnnn... Earth to John for pete sake." I shook my head and turned to look at my sister.
"Who was she?" I asked in a small whisper.
"I can't believe you don't remeber her. That's Jessica."
My eyes grew wide turning back to see if she had reappeared. If that was Jessica...Then why did she look like a spitting image of Claire?
