Chapter Three
It has now been a week since Brielle had left a major part of her life behind.
She said goodbye to her beloved Alice who she will miss dearly.
She contacted the number on her Grandmother's will and had the state titles officially transferred over.
With the help of her Best friend, Olivia secured her one-way ticket to London.
Brielle knew her family will soon realise where she is, but what difference would it make?.
She is in another country that she has full citizenship rights to, and whilst they have all the power over there in Australia, nothing they could say or do could make her return to her old life.
Brielle pushed open the double doors to her favourite Coffee shop " The Bean" that was only a five minute walk from her University campus.
The smell of roasted coffee filled the air as she took a seat at one of the ruby red Booths.Grabbing her phone a message buzzed.
"be there in Five x ".
After 15 minutes,as expected Olivia quickly pranced her way to the table.
Slamming her hands down on the glass red table.
"Guess whats on this Friday?" Olivia says with stars in her eyes.
Brielle crosses her arms while leaning back in her chair.
"What's on Liv?". said a curious Brielle.
Olivia starts taking a flyer out from her bag.
" It's the Greenwich Carnival!!" shrieked Olivia as Brielle Chuckled ,
"Oh my God!, the last time we went ,we were dressed up as stars for our kindergarten Christmas performance!".
Olivia nodded in agreement
" So are you coming !?" gleamed Olivia,
"Yes I'll be there" .
BRIELLE -
Friday had come around quicker than anticipated ,but with all my assignments now submitted I was definitely ready for the weekend.
Dressed in a black an white floral patterned dress that reached just above my knee thrown together with a denim jacket, black slip on boots with a small heel and a small black bag .
I let my wavy hair down , a touch of lipstick and mascara along with my favourite gold heart necklace around my neck.
A car horn starts beeping loudly as I quickly grab my keys, phone and bag.
Walking down the steps I see Olivia leaning down on the car with a laughing Cody.
Any girl would swoon at his feet if it weren't for the fact he swings the other way.
In the short time of a week I had another best friend .
Cody has dirty blonde straight hair with one dangly earring ,fair complexion and high cheek bones.
"Hurry up Girl, the fire throwing muscle men show is starting at 7:30 and you know I can't miss that" cody said flirtatiously.
"You know thats not what it's called, right?"I tease as Olivia Cracks up laughing.
" well you can go watch that, I'm heading for the kissing booths! did you know Jason is doing it this year !?" Olivia's cheeks warm to a blush as I roll my eyes while laughing
" You guys are crazy! unlike you both, I'm going straight for the thrilling rides and the fairy floss."
Gabrielle starts the car and turns the radio on.
"keep telling your self that sist-ah" she winked.
After 24 mins in the car we finally reached the Carnival.
Parking was crazy hard to find so we parked further down and started walking up.
All three of us had gotten corn dogs and spiralled fried potato on a stick.
As we walked down another alley of tents and little shops, a purple tent trimmed with gold that had three different entrances had sparked my attention.
"Omg look!" Olivia said while stopping us in our tracks.
Our heads turning up to the mystical purple tent that had a huge lit up sign "Fortune Teller".
With my eyes peeled on the dancing lights, I felt weirdly drawn to it .
"Okay I've always wanted to try this, anyone else?"I volunteered while Olivia pulls on my elbow,
" I'm in !" she squealed excitedly.
" I'm passing girls ,if you both want to do your weird ass witchy Voo-Doo, I'll be out here with the snacks where its safe and sound thank you ".
laughter takes over me ,
"As long as my spiralled potato is still here when I get back" I lightly threaten while passing my food over to Cody along with my bag.
" I can't make any Promises" cody smirks.
" Cody!" I shriek as Olivia hooks her hand around my elbow while pulling me towards the tent. As we near the front of the tent we seperate going through one entrance each.
Its eerily quiet as I enter the tent, I know its probably suppose to be , but for some reason my gut feeling is now telling me to run.
Cody will never let me live this down if I run out of here like a baby, I mean its only fortune telling right?, its just for fun.
I continued down the walk way where a candle has been placed on every corner on the floor that leads to a bigger tent.
Opening the flap I suddenly smell a misty and smokey essence filled through out the space.
"My Darling Girl Come in, Come in."
With an strong accent that I've never heard before I spot a middle aged lady in long black ensemble.
I make my way over to the table where a crystal globe sits in the centre. Sitting down , two black eyes stare through me.
"Um,, Hi" I Curtly state whilst taking a good look around the tent.
The fortune teller notices my discomfort and starts smiling while shuffling the Tarot Cards. Placing down a spread of six Cards she tilts her head.
" Your first card is the fool."
She bellows out with a deep voice while she points her long nail down on the card.
"You have been hidden away from many secrets, however the truth might have been staring at you this whole time."
confusion crosses over my face as her eyes meet mine.
"Your second card is Death.Death as in rebirth of a new life, something new is stating over, change is coming."
Slapping the third card down, the lights start to flicker.I gasp in shock as the lights distract my focus.
" The Third card is,,, The Eight Of cups!," Clasping her hands together she smiles down like she knows a secret I don't.
"You are heading off on a big adventure, on a journey, very far from here but in doing this you will leave all your riches behind .The things you have come to value this past week you will have to say good-bye to."
I stare at the cards then back at her shocked.
" The fourth and fifth Card is the Knight of cups and The Hierophant. A night in shining armour perhaps? someone who will be entranced with you ,someone who is your soul mate destined from another time".
As if thats going to happen,me? Love?, I don't think so.
Its not that I'm not capable of love but being forced to marry could put any girl off for a while.
" Your sixth Card, the two of pentacles,you soon will face a decision but must I warn you, take too long and what may be a blessing might be the very thing to kill you".
A shiver had run down my spine, as It suddenly become harder to breathe.
I slowly start to stand as the hairs on the back of my neck start to alert.
"t-thank you so much for you time and your insight, but my friends are wai-"
My croaky voice is cut off as the fortune teller quickly grabs my hands tightly,forcing me to sit. Her black pupils had started to dilate as they start to rise to the top of her head.
The lights flicker violently as nothing can be heard but the howling wind and rain outside.A deep voice bellows out of her as if she was not even human at all.
"You were never meant to be born in 1999 Brielle! Its time for you to return to your rightful place.
You need to return! it is my duty to make you go back! "she screams.
Firstly how did she know my name and secondly what the fuck is happening!! .
A huge wind starts whirling around the table making everything shake .
The crystal ball starts rolling off from the rattling table whilst shattering into a million pieces. The cards start gliding around the table with some dropping to the floor.
"What the Hell are you doing !!?, please !just let me go!"
I cried out while trying to get my hands out of her dead firm grip.
Starting to panic I start to scream for help.
Tears have stained my face as she whispers a chant over and over in a trance.
" P-lease , you've got the wrong person!" I plead out as my voice trembles.
The Room suddenly starts spinning while my senses feel like they have given up.
The noise starts turning to a slow buzz when black specks take over my vision.
I'm consumed by the darkness as my body feels like its floating and aching at the same time.
The words spin in my head repeating the words violently .
"It's time for you to return to your rightful place Brielle.
- You need to return!"
