Amelia's POV
I got out of the house and I checked everywhere, I was surprised when I didn't even see a glimpse of Ava….I kept searching everywhere she could be but she was nowhere to be found.
"But where could Ava have gone so early?" I thought.
I didn't know what to do, I felt so disappointed because I had thought I would just give her the leaves so she could go for me.
"Or should I ask my mum about her whereabouts??" I thought.
I contemplated for a while before I summoned the courage to meet my mum.
I approached mum's room and immediately she noticed me, she looked so surprised.
"Mum, why are you so surprised??" I asked her.
"Are you asking me that Amelia?? I had already thought you will be done bathing and you will be on your way??" She said,
"Mum!!! That's too fast, besides it has not been long since you came to my room" I said.
"Anyways, why are you here, instead of bathing??" She asked curiously.
"Mum, please where is Ava?" I asked.
And before I knew it she burst into laughter.
"Mum!! Why are you laughing??" I asked her curiously.
"I sent her to the farm!!" She said and giggled.
"But why mum, I think it is too early for that?" I said angrily.
"Shut up !! you fool, I can see that you don't know anything," mum said.
"Mum! What are you talking about??" I asked.
"Are you asking me that, didn't I tell you yesterday that I don't want her to know about our plans?" she said.
"Oh gosh!! Why mum??" I asked angrily.
"Amelia, don't ask me silly questions, just go back to your room now and bathe so you can quickly go," she said.
I walked out angrily from the room and entered my room so I could bathe because I don't have any other choice, even though I don't feel like going anywhere but to be in school with my friends and enjoying life.
After I finished bathing, I walked out of the bathroom and wiped my body with my towel then applied the cream on my body after that I searched for suitable clothes to wear and after that, I brushed my hair then walked out of the room, on my way outside I met my mum and she looked like she has been waiting for me….
"Now take it!!" She said and offered me the leaves while I collected them from her.
"Mum I don't know this place, why can't you allow me to rest and forget about one king in a kingdom which is none of our concerns," I said angrily.
"Keep shut and listen," She said she shushed me.
"You know I have asked so well from people who have been there before and they told me that you will go straight and after that, you will see a road to the wood you will pass through the wood and after that, you will also see a narrow road by your left and after the narrow road you will get to the kingdom but make sure that you ask questions from anyone on your way to the kingdom," she said.
"Mum!! I don't think I can go because with the way you described the place, I think the kingdom is very far from here" I said.
"Yes, it's very far….but it is worth your energy so go quickly now before your dad gets back from work," she said.
And I stared at her for a while and I realized she wasn't joking, she meant what she was saying, so I quickly walked out of the house.
Ava's POV
I don't still know the reason why my mum will send me so early to the bush by this time of the day, with the way she was acting, she is acting so suspicious….I think she has something in her sleeve she is hiding from me, but I couldn't even think of anything.
I got to the bush and I started hearing that someone was crying.
"But who could be crying?? Am I hallucinating??" I thought…
I shrugged the thought off and decided to start going, but I couldn't move anymore when I heard the person screaming.
"Omg!! Who could it be?? Where could the person be?? How am I going to locate where the person is??" I thought and ran to the bush and kept searching if I could see anyone, but to my greatest surprise, I didn't see anybody.
"What is happening??" I thought. as I was hearing the person screaming the more.
I was getting tired of searching already and I still kept searching till I saw something that baffles me. I saw a guy rolling on the ground crying and screaming.
"What happened to you??" I asked him immediately.
"A snake bit me," he said in tears.
"Really, omg!! I'm so sorry" I said.
And I didn't know what to do at the moment….I felt so bewildered and dumbstruck with his situation before it popped into my head that I need to help him, and I quickly helped him up while I ran up to look for the leave for a snake bite because I can identify it so easily and after that, I ran back and asked him to show me the place where he had the bite and I quickly squeezed the leaves on the place.
Amelia's POV
I walked through the road as mum described and I was so tired and confused already, even angry at the same time because I hate going on a journey or sent an errand, it's so painful that mum does not want Ava to know about the plan, I would have sent her and she wouldn't have had any option but to go for me if I beg her to, because she is really so fragile and also a fool….
No one would see the both of us and know that am her junior sister because of the way she use to act and I hate her for that, I don't know why my sister will just be so dull and insensible the only thing she is not dull at doing is to heal people and the way mum use to treats her also if am the one in her shoe I would have wise up and talk silly to mum skull one day so she won't try it with me she other times….
I walked for a while and before I knew it I got to the wood as mum said and I kept walking in the bush, and I started becoming so scared because I have never walked in a wood alone before in my entire life and before I knew it I started hearing strange voices.
"Oh my God, it is finished!!" I thought and said my last prayer silently.
