33 Chapter 32

Calling my Uber again, I take off and decide to go back to the last place my mother was seen, my old orphanage and walk around. It takes me hours of walking around until I finally come to a building that looks familiar, then another, it looks like I'm backtracking from where we were running from.

Going back in my memories and night terrors, I follow the trail until I come to an abandoned two-story house.

Looking around I see the streets are dead as this is not a busy area, its residential, and many houses seem like they are for sale. Looking at the house, I know this is where I grew up with my mother, I feel it.

The house is still intact, the windows are not broken or anything, it seems to have a mystical area around it. I walk to the front door, and I touch it, it's locked, rubbing my hand down the door in defeat, I hear a click.

Did the door just open? Yes, it did, weird must be magically activated. I carefully walk in, the door shuts behind me making me jump. My nerves are on end, and I stay at a fighting stance looking around.

Wow, it looks just like someone was here an hour ago inside, the place is maybe a little dusty but all the furniture and everything is still in place, like we just up and disappeared. Flipping the light switch, nothing happens, then I remember the door and how it was magic. I flick my magic at the lights, and I'll be damned, they turned on.

Looking around the house still, I see toys, pictures of me as a baby, some of my mother, and thank goodness I don't see any of my father. It seems he may have not been living here the last bit before everything happened, looking in her room, I see no man's items or clothes.

I go to my old room and see my dolls, and childish items, finally taking a toll on my emotions, I start crying. This house, losing my mother and father, not having anyone left but my new family, and taking over as queen, it all hit me at once. The next thing I know, I feel my magic growing inside of me violently, mixed with my feelings, lights are flickering, and the house begins to shake.

I'm losing control and at this moment, I don't care, it hurts to bad. Something falls beside me, and I glance at it as I'm still struggling, to see one of my old teddy bears with a paper spilling out of the back of it. I start to calm down as my curiosity gets the best of me, now just lights flickering in the background, I grab the paper. It's a note...

'Dear Acadia, if you're reading this, that means you came back like the vision. It's your younger self-writing, and yes, you've had visions at a young age, mother helped me understand them, even helped me write this letter, as I knew I would come back looking for her in the future. The rest of the note will be from mother, I'm still too young to see anymore after this letter' written in children's handwriting, then the rest is written neatly.

'Acadia, this is your mother, first I want to tell you that I understand this is hard to read, and your younger self had a hard time telling me, well that I will be gone for some reason, and I have come to terms with it, but I want you to know that I love you, always have and always will! I may not know the future but I can help you with the past as much as I can, I know I would not willing leave you, so something bad must have happened. After you told me, I confided in a good friend that has always been by my side, and we moved here to this safe house as a precaution, only you, her and I know about this place. By now, you are most likely the new queen, and I'm very proud of you, just make sure you use your magic for good and be the wonderful person I know you can be, I believed you would always be a better queen than me, and I'll always be with you in spirit, no matter what. Go find Rose, she lives an hour away from here, she will help you with answers.'
