“What’s your name?” Lily asked.
The girl said shyly, “My name is Lucy.”
“That is a very pretty name. I’m Genevieve” Genevieve said.
“And I’m Lily.” Lily said proudly.
The three girls needed to figure out how to get Lucy home. Lily walked through the woods to her house. While Lucy and Genevieve headed back to Genevieve’s house.
Lily opened her chest looking for her mother’s notebook. That notebook had all of her mother’s research in it. When she skimmed through it as a child, she remembered seeing a page about the Book of The Northern Kingdoms.
She looked for a few moments and then heard a knock on the door. She faced the door, noticing a tall figure through the cracks in the wood. She knew exactly who it was.
She tried to remain as quiet as she could, but heard the figure say with its deep voice, “I know you’re in their Lily. You can’t hide from me forever.”
She looked back at the chest, and fumbled through the contents, and finally found the notebook. She picked it up and ran out the back door.
The figure heard her leave and darted around the house, to see her running towards the rough river, located a few yards away from Lily’s home.
The figure ran on four legs, dark fur blowing in the wind. Gold eyes focused on the now small bird flying into the distance.
Lily flew higher, higher, and higher until she could no longer see the creature, she had once known. She continued flying along the tree line, almost crossing the river, until a large paw swatted her down to the ground. She laid there, unconscious, to be picked up and taken captive.
Genevieve and Lucy walked up along side Genevieve’s home. “My mother will freak out when she sees you and discovers you are from the future.” Genevieve whispered.
“Genevieve, that’s alright. I don’t want to cause issues. Especially if I could mess up the timeline.” Lucy whispered along with Trying not to step in mud and mess up her nice shoes. She definitely was not expecting to walk through the woods after crawling through a hole in the wall of her house.
Genevieve walked into the house, trying to distract her mother, so Lucy could get to the shed to live in during her stay. Genevieve had mentioned that it was the best she could do for her at the moment even though she is a princess.
She told Lucy that she and her mother were living where they were because her father was dead and an evil queen took over their kingdom. She told her that it had only been a few months since that happened.
Lucy had been thinking on the way to the shed. Her mother read many books to her during her early childhood. She thought about the stories and their characters and realized one of the princesses in a story read to her was named Genevieve. All those stories were true!
Lily woke up laid on a hay bed with cotton blankets and another blanket folded up to serve as a pillow. She turned her head to see Giovanni, the furry creature that picked her up, sitting across from her. She sat up to find she was tied with strong ropes to the bed. Giovanni grinned as he strangely walked over to her, as if he was injured. “Gio, let me guess, you injured yourself while capturing me.” Lily said, knowing it was something more serious. It looked like… a stab wound?! Where did he get that from!
“Ha, very funny Lily.” Giovanni said, sarcastically. “I actually ran into some hunters from Elizabeth’s kingdom.”
Lily interjected, “Elizabeth isn’t in control anymore, neither is her daughter Genevieve. A witch forcefully took over.” “Oh, so that’s what happened.” Giovanni said, sharply, “I heard the king died, so I thought they killed him.”
“No!” Lily screamed weakly.
Giovanni stared at her suspicious of her reaction. He walked out of the hut, Lily was trapped in. She used his time of absence to barely reach her bag on the table next to her with potions to disintegrate the rope. “No rope can match my potions.” She thought.
She stood up, checked her bad for the notebook and saw it was missing. She swore she put it in there before she was knocked out. Lily looked around the room and saw the notebook facedown open on a page.
She flipped it over and saw it was on a page 34. Lily doesn’t know why her mother marked the pages, but she didn’t mind it. She looked at the title of the page which read, “Diamond Lavender”. She never noticed this before, but the books contents were so neatly written it was unreal.
