Alora POV
I'm sharing rooms with Kylie. She is currently laid in the single bed next to mine. We have had a lovely shower and have got into fresh pjs while our clothes were taken to be washed.
I've got to admit we have never slept in proper beds before, so it feels like I'm laying on a cloud, and it feels great.
We have both been laid here for a few hours, just staring at the ceiling, trying to process all the new information.
I finally know my dads name and the pack where I should have been the last 18 years. I had so many questions that I wanted to ask, but Queen Gloriosia looked a little drained, so I didn't want to press her too much. I wanted to know my mothers name, if I had any siblings, what my family is like, what they look like, do I look like my mum or dad.
I plan on asking first thing in the morning, and I plan on getting plenty of rest for the journey. Plus, I wanted to look my best if there is a chance I might meet my dad. But I can't switch my mind off and the more I think of tomorrow the more doubt creeps in, what if they don't want me now, they might see me and see me as worthless or they might not believe that I am there daughter, to them their child died years before. Tears slip from my eyes, and I can't keep the sob down.
"Alora, are you ok?" Kylie sniffles. As I turn my head to my left, I also see her tear stained face.
"I'm ok, Kylie.. it's just so much to take in and I can't help but think that after we have finally found our families what if they don't believe me or don't want me" I say in a rush, getting my fears out but looking at Kylie she mirrors myself.
"We will be fine. We have each other, and if any of our families don't want us... we have each other no matter what ok" Kylie said, climbing out of her bed and slipping in mine next to me.
We promise each other that we will always be there for one another no matter what happens.
We spent the next couple of hours talking about anything and everything. Getting all our feelings of worry, doubt, hope, and joy out to one another finally nodding off to a dreamless sleep.
I woke to pounding on our door, Kylie is also waking up. She is back in her bed she must have moved back after I fell to sleep.
More pounding on the door had me getting up and moving to the door, opening it wide to a bright-eyed and smiling Poppy. She stood looking cute dressed in her blue skinny jeans, pink jumper, white trainers, that had seen better days we must get her some new ones soon. Her blonde hair is in a high ponytail. "I've got your cleaned clothes" she says as she walked past me into the room "thanks Pops, you seem loads better this morning" Kylie says smiling also "I've had such a great sleep in that amazing bed and I'm also determined to get to our parents" she explained hugging me as I walked back towards the bed. She has always been a hugger, we all have, I suppose it's because the only affection we got was from each other.
"I feel the same, I'm nervous but also happy to finally be able to meet my family," I say as I start to get dressed. "Same here... where is Liam? " Kylie asks."I'm out here while you get changed, so hurry up, sleepy heads, " Liam shouted from outside the door. Causing us all to laugh.
Once we were done, I felt even more nervous looking at my outfit. My black skinny jeans (that have faded over the years), dark blue hoodie, and black trainers look worn but it's the best clothing I own, my black hair was in a loose french braid. "You look great," Kylie says, probably picking up on my worry as I'm constantly tugging at my hoodie. Looking up she looks nice too, she is wearing her blue skinny jeans, black hoodie and black trainers with her curls left loose, looking so healthy "you look great too" I say smiling at my beautiful girls.
"Ok, you all look great, I'm sure, but my ass is going numb sat out here," Liam shouted again, and we all burst into laughter as we made our way out the door. Liam was getting off the floor looking smart in his black jeans white trainers and black jumper "you look great our little Liam" I say smiling as I hug him as he groans "Lori I'm not little anymore" he said rolling his eyes as we all laugh again.
He will always be our little Liam.
We have had a yummy breakfast and feel ready to leave. We stood in front of the cottage waiting for Zoene to say her goodbyes to her mum. It has been a tough morning for Zoene. Her mum was not happy about her joining our journey, but after she explained that she was supposed to go with us because she had seen it. Queen Gloriosia only gave in when Zoene compromised and agreed to let their lead warrior go with us also.His name is Francis and he seemed nice, he has spoke to us but not much as he takes his responsibility seriously.
"Before we leave our territory me and Francis will switch into our fairy form. When we pass our border, we need to move fast. Not only is it dangerous because we have to pass through nomans land but we need to get to the pack before this afternoon" Zoene explains " what is wrong with nomans land" Liam asked already on edge "well that is where no-one in particular owns the territory so all different species stay there from rogue wolves, witches, warlocks and vampires. They don't care where we come from or who we are" Francis explained and I could see Liam tense so I squeeze his hand "it's ok Liam, we will stay together and go fast" I say trying to reassure him when he gives me a small nod ok.
"Ok so we stay close and move together" Liam says giving us all a hard stare while grabbing Poppy hand keeping her close and if I'm being honest I'm happy that he has because we were all worried yesterday and I don't want to feel like that again anytime soon.
We all nod and start our journey....
