Chapter 40
"Who... who are you..? WHERE are you?" Jesse coughs and sits up again. There was no one and nothing standing by her and yet she could hear someone talking. "Just follow the sound of my voice." The voice started sounding distant and it started going behind the castle. Jesse starts following the voice before stopping in her tracks.
"How do you know who I am?"
"You'll find out in due time."
"If you want me to follow you, tell me who you are." Jesse closes her eyes.
"I cannot say right now. You must trust me."
"Can I trust you?" Jesse asks, while wiping off tears from her face. Her eyes start to burn from all the tears she had cried.
"Of course."
"...Okay..." Jesse starts heading to the back of the castle but before she can do anything else a voice yells from behind her.
"Jesse wait!" It was a soft, female voice. It sounded kind of familiar yet Jesse could not comprehend who it was because her brain was in so much pain.
Jesse turns around to see Maya. Maya has a worried look on her face as she looks at Jesse, "The whole kingdom heard what happened! Are you okay?" Maya grabs Jesses hands and looks at her. "I'm.... fine..." Jesse gulps and blinks back more oncoming tears. This was obviously a blatant lie. "Jesse, its alright to feel hurt." Maya says then Jesse closes her eyes. "...I just... I just wish I could go back home... but it seems no one will accept me anymore." Jesse pulls away from maya and covers her face. Maya looks at Jesse before sighing. "Jesse, if it helps, you can s— Oh my god. Jesse, your looking really pale!" Jesse leans against a the castle wall and tries to stay standing. Before Jesse can hear anything else, her skin goes white and she passes out.
Hours pass and night time takes over the kingdom. Jesse was still not up but she could feel something in her dream and she could hear a voice. She felt freezing, warmth, burning, pain the nothing. "Jesse, follow me..." A voice says. "Why?" She asks the voice but around her is nothing but endless darkness. "Go to the mirror Jesse. Only then can I show you what must be seen." "Whats so special about that mirror?" "I can show you the future." Jesse rubs her arm as the darkness surrounds her. "...That should be impossible!" "But its not." "How do I know I can trust you?" Jesse asks as the darkness starts consuming her. She did not freak out, she did not panic. "Because I saved your life." The voice says. Jesse goes to say something then she closes her mouth. The darkness completely covers her up. Then she wakes up. She felt sick, and not physically but mentally. She closes her eyes, 'This is crazy. You can't just go into the mirror and trust some ominous voice. You have to trust yourself and only you.' No matter how many times she told herself that in her thoughts, she knew she had to follow that voice. Slowly, Jesse gets up, leaves Maya's house and heads toward the castle.
