I walled slowly to my usual spot just for a little fresh air after the suffocating ones the junior students has given me bringing out issues from their various classes. Thank goodness Jordan was there to help...
I froze the moment i saw Mom standing right at my front. What was she doing here? She never comes unexpected. Did something happen?
"Mom?"
No response...
I gazed at her, wait...did mom dye her hair? To black? Why? I thought we both loved the way we had the same hair colour. But...why?
"Isabel right?" Mom smiled at me
Okay...now thats weird. First, why would mom say something like that? Doesn't she recognise me anymore? And again...there is something different about mom's voice. She's always with that calm and reserving tone but it seems a little bit anxious today.
"Mom, are you okay?" I asked worriedly walking closer to her but she moved backwards.
"I'm not your mom" She said firmly
Did mom hit her head somewhere, why was she acting like that
"Then you are?"
"Your mom's twin, we look so much alike right?"
"My mom's...twin? She never told us she had a twin sister"
"Wow!!!, Nora doesn't seem not to dissapoint me"
"How the hell do you know my mum, are you a kidnapper?"
"Will a kidnapper tell you he is?" She asked with a sarcasm tone
"Then, you are really one?"
"Look, i don't have time to waste. Just wanna check something and I would go"
"Check what?"
"If really I was mistaken by your powers"
"What?... my powers, How do you mean?"
"So, Nora really didn't tell you anything even when you're almost clocking eighteen?"
What is wrong with this young lady? Is she drunk? No, someone in their right state of mind wouldn't drink in broad day light. Then why was she talking nonsense. Powers?
"Are you for real?, what powers are you talking about?"
"Do i look like i'm joking?" She furrowed her brows
I crossed my arms over my chest
"Tell me something, do you write fantasy novels?"
"Fantasy novels?"
"Yes, cos you really good at them, you should try writing one"
She took a deep breath "I'm being serious here, isabel"
"But why does it seem like you are telling a joke. Inafct, what are you doing here in my school? Twin or no twin but i dont think we are that close for you to show your presence in my school"
I know i was being rude right now but i cant just help it
"Like i said before, i'm here to check out something"
"My powers???"
"Obviously !"
I laughed out soo loud, gosh, this woman needs to be kidding me
"You do have nightmares right?"
I stopped laughing the moment she said that. Only mom and i knows i do have nightmares even mirabel doesn't know
"How...how do you know that?"
"Cos you are the one we need to help us kill the dragon hunting us for years"
"Dragon???"
"You ask too much questions, why dont u save all that for your mom"
As soon as she said that, a piercing red sword appeared on her hands as she aimed it at me and everywhere turned dark
"You said you wanted to test my powers, would killing me do that?" I asked as bold as i could even though my heart was beating soo fast.
I only watch this in movies, is it really happening to me or i'm i having another nightmare?
"No more questions" She said as she began swinging her sword at me, left and right. Luckily, i dodged all, at which i was suprised myself
Suddenly, she disappeared and re-appeared at my back giving me a slight cut on my arm
It all happened in a flash which made me fall to my knees as blood seeped out of my arm.
At that moment, i felt very weirdly like powerful? I even felt my eyes burning. I looked straight at the woman at my front. I stood up to face her despite the pain from my arm.
All i wanted was to fight this woman, go home and ask mom the million questions in my head cos i'm damn confused and annoyed.
I walked towards her, instead of fighting me,she gave a smirk and vanished into thin air.
It all became normal again as i held my hurting arm.It felt like i was falling into deep darkness as a familiar voice screamed out my name
"Isabel!!!!"
