Chapter 7 Trip To Casa De` Ordon

Chapter 7

Trip To Casa De` Ordon

“I should stop reading twilights and Harry Potters before going to sleep” was the first thought that came to Estelle’s’ mind when Triczar stated, “you are in our world.”

“Fantasy isn’t meant for me. I do not believe in magic and fantasy. Heck! I wanted to take science” Estelle blabbered to herself.

“You need to lie down and relax” Triczar suggested.

“Yes you are right” Estelle accepted immediately “ I should sleep and probably I’d wake up on my own bed.” She was about to close her eyes when she commented “This bed is very comfortable though, it is actually as good as it looks” she smiled, not knowing her smile was doing wonders to Triczar as she closed her eyes to drift back into her own world where she had normal non magical friends like Mona, Austin, Greg, Heck! The boring lectures in her college sounded much alluring at the moment and also her cribbing mother and loving father. She loved her world back home.

She opened her eyes to see hurt face of Triczar. She extended her hand to rub that frown from his face but the pull of the comfortable bed was stronger and she drifted to sleep.

Estelle woke up into the same comfortable bed.

She smiled at the stubbornness of her dream. “I am in the same la la land” she lifted two of her fingers

Nodding her head she lifted the softest duvet she’d ever had in her life and folded and neatly placed on the bed.

The room was so pretty, clean and vibrant she did not want to jeopardize with its beauty so she did her bit.

She felt soft carpet tickling her feet and bent to see there were tiny flowers on the grass that had covered the entire room and filled it with sweet delicate smell.

She walked out of the room in search of…

“What was his name again” she asked herself

“What a pity I couldn’t remember the name of hot stud” she beat herself.

“What did he say?”

“I am not dreaming” answering her own question she giggled ‘Of course this is a dream, how can it not be but I would say I did hit the panic button.

His eyes reflected his honesty. I actually believed him for a while there and got nervous and dizzy.

Thank God he offered me to relax.

Well ironically I was relaxing s***h-sleeping s***h still not relaxed because the dreams are weird and tiring.

OOF!

She decided to go for a walk.

She smiled at the beautiful landscape she saw in front of her, clear sky adorning few clouds, green grass below her feet tickling, not tickling but massaging her feet.

And although she is no athlete or fitness freak she liked walking here.

The endless pathway of green seemed inviting and it seemed that she could walk for hours and not get tired.

She looked around and noticed that she was alone.

She enjoyed the space and lone time she spent with herself, that’s the reason she shifted to her place right?

Then she turned left again.

She jumped as the girl to her left waved at her.

She was startled as the girl looked familiar wearing a flowing, long blue white tunic and comfortable white tights.

She now looked at her right. There was another girl to her right. She gave a soft smile acknowledging her; strangely she too wore the same dress as the girl to her left.

“Is this some kind of dress code in this region?” Estelle thought.

She looked at the friendly girl who had waved at her and noticed another girl besides her who seemed scared.

She looked at the right at the girl who had a soft smile; there was another girl besides her who had a tense face.

They all wore similar dresses, which was weird because somehow all the girls looked familiar.

She looked at herself

HOLY freaking s**t! She was wearing the same dress too.

When did she change into this?

Or who did it for her?

She looked at the girls again and the scared girl was terrified because all the girls looked familiar and just like her

She looked at them again. The number of girls increased again as if glass mirror walls on both the sides, which multiplied her images, surrounded her.

But they weren’t her images, they were her true self, some were happy, some were sad, some were curios, some were bored, some were sleepy, some were daring.

She did not know what was happening around.

It all felt so real.

She felt dizzy again and was about to faint.

This was too much to take.

She closed her eyes and was about to fall when two strong arms held her tightly.

“Jason” Estelle was relieved to look at a familiar face.

“Are you alright?’ he asked, “We are worried about you.”

Remembering he was the one who abandoned her in the middle of this wonderland she got furious at him

Pulling herself back from his comforting grip she spat “what do you care? You left me alone to fend for myself.”

“And you did great” he smiled at her proudly.

She huffed “what was I great at?” she looked around “I am feeling so lost between a dream and reality. And more than that” she nodded her head “what great thing did I do?” she folded her hand around her waist “can you please elaborate?” She then realized her attire “who in the freaking hell changed my clothes?’

“You don’t like what you are wearing?” Jason’s brow furrowed.

“Of course I do like what I am wearing” her lips might have lifted a bit upwards from the edges “they are very comfortab…” she stopped “that doesn’t answer my question What did I do?”

“You saved our future.” Jason said proud with a bright smile on his face “you saved the prince.”

“You must be crazy” Estelle did not believe a word “I did nothing. He woke up on his own.”

“Oh no” Estelle shrieked, “I am the crazy one. I am imagining things. I need to get out of your “ she threw her hands in the air “whatever you call this place or wonderland.”

“Casa de` Ordon” Jason stated

“Casa de` Ordon?” Estelle repeated.

“The name of this place.” Jason clarified, “our land”

“I haven’t heard of this place before. She looked for her phone “I should Google it.”

Jason chuckled “it is f*******n from the maps of the earth.”

“f*******n?” Estelle’s brows furrowed “is it at all possible?”

“It is” Jason said “for your safety, ours and the safety of the entirety”

“This is all so … “ the word was overwhelming in her head but she ended up describing it as “Stupid. I think I should go now.”

“You mean to say” Jason was worried “you want to leave?”

“Are you not enjoying here?” he asked and then realizing something he said, “Oh, you must be starving. MY bad.” He said. “Let me take you to Khrana”

“What is Khrana now?” Estelle asked. “I want to go home. I don’t want to roam around lost in this magical land. I feel lost.”

She whined.

“You wont feel lost while I am with you Estelle” Jason looked into her gray greens and the assurance in his blues made her trust him once again. “Khrana is what you call dining room in your language.”

“Will you promise me you will not abandon me ever again?” Estelle begged.

Jason chuckled “we can never ever abandon you Estelle.” He said with sincerity “you are way too important for us.” He held her by her shoulders earning a warm smile from her, her shoulders and body relaxing with the comfortable touch “you are the Chosen one., our  Czaarina`” he spoke the last too words too softly for her to hear not wanting her to freak out.

Estelle laughed heartily “I know you are kidding.” She licked her lip shyly “but when you keep on saying that, it really makes me feel that I am special.

“You are special Estelle. You are,” he confirmed with honesty in his bright blue eyes.

He seemed equally happy in her company like Estelle did.

Before she could delight at the words spoken by Jason the sight of food evoked the child inside Estelle.

She never realized how hungry she was

“Is it possible to starve in your own dream?” she asked herself “and what is Jason doing in my dream?”

She shrugged her curios questions and pulled a plate form the shelf.

She turned around the plate and felt it in her hand

The plate looked like that of glass but was light as a feather.

She made sure that it wasn’t plastic.

She’s given up use of plastic since the commercial of people drowning in plastic bags went viral in all the television channels.

It was glass and still was light. ‘I should check the brand and probably get one of the kind for myself” she muttered but failed to find the brand name.

The glass dish was transparent and had nothing imprinted on it.

Nevertheless she picked all the delicious looking fruits from the table Grapes, tangerines, apples and lot more. Few of the fruits she did not even recognize. She stopped at the mangoes “How did they manage mangoes in this season?”

“Because you are dreaming silly. Enjoy till it lasts”

She skipped the savory and refreshments section planning to finish her platter of fruits first.

She realized the fruits were extremely sweet, tasty and filling. She was contended and satisfied. She decided she didn’t need any other helping.

Once Estelle was full she looked at Jason “You did not have a morsel?”

“I do not need to eat.” Jason commented.

“Your girlfriend must have fixed a nice breakfast for you” Estelle teased wriggling her brows.

‘I don’t have a girlfriend” Jason said flatly.

“And I will revote D.Trump  to be our president again” Estelle joked but stopped giggling looking at Jason’s straight face.

“Oh my God!” she exclaimed, “Really you don’t have a girlfriend? If a handsome guy like you doesn’t have a girlfriend, it’s a pity on girls out there”

“You are pretty too and you don’t have a boyfriend” Jason remarked.

She blushed at the compliment. She was really enjoying with him. “How would you know I don’t have a boyfriend?” she wriggled her brows “may be I do.”

“No you don’t” Jason passed a comforting smile “I know about you.”

“You know?” Estelle stood up all of a sudden, her nose flaring “You’d been stalking me.”

“I am sorry” Jason held his head down.

“You are not even denying” Estelle was upset. She rubbed her temples again “what have I put myself into. I wish I never accompanied you to this….”

“Casa de` Ordon” Jason completed for her

“Casa did... Oreo..” she huffed ”never mind” Her eyes moved around looking for something “I so wish this is all a dream.”

“Estelle” Jason stood up, his face straight; if there were traces of guilt he did not show. “There are a lot of things that you need to know and one of them being, I wasn’t stalking you. I was doing my duty.”

“It is your duty to stalk me?” Estelle furrowed her brows in confusion again “Are you insane?”

“No I am an Ordanite.” Jason said with his head held high, proud of his identity, “and we Ordanites do what is best for our land, for our people and for You; humans.”

“You know laws of physic dynamics was easier than what you are saying. And I failed in that subject.” she shrugged “You are so confusing sometimes I think I should not have opened the damn door in the midnight.”

 “You could never do that.” Jason smiled “You are very kind and sweet for your own good especially when I had a wailing baby in my arms.”

“You mean Cupid?” Estelle enquired “where is she?’ She felt a sudden pull of attraction towards the little baby. She desired to see her again.

“You want to meet her?” Jason asked glad that the girl who was leaving moments ago in rage was now ready to meet his queen

She is indeed The Chosen One 

“Yes I do” Estelle expressed her firm desire with no hesitation.

“Okay I might take you to meet her.” Jason agreed “but you have to promise me something before I take you to meet her.

“What promise?” Estelle was wondering what would probably Jason ask from her they’d hardly met.

Jason said softly, his features marred with concern “that once you see her you won’t freak out.”

With that Estelle panicked, her insides churning thinking “how bad can a little and sweet baby be?’
