Hello Reader. This is the last chapter of this story if you don't count the epilogue. I congratulate you and thank you for reading my story this far. I also apologize that I am posting so Late. I had a test week for my school and couldn't write for some time. I hope you are enjoying this story that I have made. Oh yes, also, disclaimer, This will be quite a long chapter, especially because I divided it into paragraphs. I apologize for that too. Now, Let's Begin.Lucinda had
just gone out of the wall. She was still
a little stunned at how bright it was. Suddenly someone or something was
sprinting towards her at top speed. Lucinda had no time to run or react or even
think before it reached her.
It turned out that it was Amy. And Amy had wanted
to give her a bear hug. Lucinda as still a bit shocked but eventually she hugged Amy back. It
was quite a while before Amy let go.
Afterwards Lucinda said “Where are we?”
And Amy replied saying “Why, we are in
Bonnie’s world of course! Come on! I’ll show you around!”
Amy showed Lucinda
the rolling hills, the fields, the trees, the little thatched hut that they
lived in, Everything!
*
“But…” Began
Lucinda “How did you get here?” It was later. After the tour. And the girls
were sitting on a low branch of a tree.
“Well, I noticed the strange goings on
and I saw how wrong everything was” Said Amy a tad sorrowfully “So I went to
Mallie and told her that I wanted to go and she let me go. I tried to say goodbye
to you but you wouldn’t wake up. And Mallie told me to hurry”
“Mallie let you
go just like that?” Asked Lucinda.
“Yeah why?” Said Amy.
Lucinda told Amy all
about how she had tried to go over the wall and how Mallie didn’t let her go.
“Oh. That must be because you didn’t ask PERMISSION!” Said Amy in a
matter-of-fact way.
Lucinda opened her mouth to reply but just then...
“Hello
Girls! It appears that Another one of you has come to stay with us!” A shrill
trilling voice came floating towards them.
It was Bonnie. With her red hair
done up in a bun, wearing a short, black cap and wearing a pale pink shirt with
mint green trousers. She was sweating, but her green eyes twinkled as bright as
ever.
Amy smiled, But Lucinda grew as red as Bonnie’s hair and hid behind some
leaves. “I’m sorry I was selfish and picked the wrong world.” Muttered Lucinda
“It’s ok. At least you wanted to come here in the end,” said Bonnie. Giving
Lucinda a smile. Lucinda mumbled something inaudible. “What did you say?” asked
Bonnie. Unfolding her hands from her chest and putting one behind her ears and
leaning closer. \
“I said, But I didn’t come here because of good! I only came to
find her!” said Lucinda pointing her finger at Amy like a rapier. her voice
growing louder with every word she said.
Amy looked startled at the suddenness
of being pointed at. Bonnie however, looked perfectly calm.
“Do you think what
they do in Mallie’s world is good?” asked Bonnie slowly. “no” said Lucinda,
calming down.
“What is wrong with it?” asked Bonnie “Well... They are lazy,
some got stomach-ache from eating sweets to much, and you never eat vegetables
there.” Said Lucinda, a bit unsure with her answer.
Bonnie smiled “Right. You
know what is wrong, you made friends, you risked getting severely punished
going over the wall to save said friend, and was brave enough to admit you were
wrong. Sounds pretty good to me!” “But...,” said Lucinda. “Good deeds make up
for the wrong ones Lucinda” said Bonnie with a wide grin.
Lucinda smiled meekly
but cheered up considerably. Bonnie smiled and offered to teach Lucinda how to work
in the fields considering that Lucinda would stay there for quite a long time.
Soon, Lucinda learned to plough the fields, plant seeds, water plants, and a
lot of other things. And when the sun went down, they all had supper together
and swapped stories on what happened in the day. They were also allowed to have
a short break during the daytime to have some tea and relax. Before going back
to work again.
The first week there Lucinda felt a day went on for eternity. But
soon the days started flying away and in no time, Lucinda was called to Bonnie’s
office. Lucinda sat down on a fluffy purple pouffe and looked up at Bonnie who was sitting in a green high backed chair.
“Well Lucinda,” said Bonnie in a solemn
voice. “It’s almost time for you to go back home. Don’t be sad! You will be
going back at the same time as Amy. But of course, you won’t be going to the
same place.” Lucinda felt sad. But knew she couldn’t stay here forever. “Ok”
said Lucinda “Thank you for teaching me morals and stuff. I will always remember
this place.”
Bonnie looked as if she would burst into tears. “You won’t be able
to remember this place Lucinda” said Bonnie in a wobbly voice. “What? Not remember
you? Or anyone?” Gasped Lucinda Barely
believing her ears. “No I’m afraid” said Bonnie “Once you get back home, all
the memories you had here will be gone.”
“Well” said Lucinda “even though I don’t
like this at all, I’m going to ok. When do I leave?” “Today” said Bonnie “at
six o’clock in the afternoon.” Lucinda nodded quietly.
And at 5:57 that day.
Amy and Lucinda held hands as they followed Bonnie through a forest that was
near their hut. After about a minute of walking, they found an even smaller
cottage striped red, yellow, green and blue. Bonnie opened the door and, in
front of them, a few steps away from the doorstep, was a big hole.
Though it
was a black hole, it didn’t seem scary as something seemed to be glittering
down at the depths the glittering thing displayed colorful spots of light
around the room. They were so bright in fact, that Lucinda shielded her eyes
when she came in for fear of being blinded.
“That’s the way You’ll go” said
Bonnie “You jump in there when it’s time”
just then, there was a soft fluttering noise behind them. Lucinda and
Amy turned around to see what it was. It was Mallie.
Her blond hair had been
braided at the front and pulled back. She wore a nice flowy dress of a calm red
with brown fastenings and hood. She had come to say goodbye.
It was now 5:59
and they had one minute to say goodbye. Lucinda and Amy thanked Bonnie and
Mallie for their help and hoped that they would meet again. Perhaps in another
lifetime, But still. Then Amy and Lucinda bade farewell to each other. “I hope we will
meet in our world Amy” said Lucinda. “And I hope you will be as nice as you
were here when we do meet” said Amy. And Lucinda and Amy shook hands.
And, as
if on cue, the carriage clock on the wall of the cottage showed 6:00 and Bonnie
started to say some magic words “Iter itio, abis ibas, ego te sic desideroa. Mallie
gestured for them to Jump. And Lucinda and Amy Jumped at the same time.
For a
split second Lucinda saw Mallie and Bonnie wave at them, Then at the next millisecond,
she felt herself fall at terrific speed, and everything went black.
*
The next
thing Lucinda knew, she was in bed at her home. And Sage was shaking her gently.
“Lucinda” said Sage in a timid, yet urgent voice “It’s 6:00 already and Mom
says Breakfast was ready. Dad says we should finish our breakfast quickly or we’ll
be late to school.”
Lucinda opened her eyes wide and looked at the clock. It
was indeed 6:00 in the morning. She got out of bed, Thanked Sage for waking her
up, and she and Sage went downstairs for their breakfast.
“Hello Honey” said
Lucinda’s mom, addressing Lucinda “Would you like me to make your favorite? Cheese
sandwich with extra cheese, extra lettuce, some Mayonnaise, and Cucumber sticks
on the side?”
Lucinda looked over at Sage, who was in the middle of drowning
her oatmeal in milk. Lucinda looked back at her mom and said “No thanks mom. I’ll
just have oatmeal like Sage.”
“Oh ok then” said Lucinda’s mom in a shocked voice.
Lucinda never ate anything as cheap as oatmeal. She thought she was above that
sort of thing. And certainly she never asked that nicely.
After breakfast,
Lucinda went to her school. While there, she noticed that the school fee’s were
high. And her classmates were snobby and acted high and mighty. And the lessons
were more about having airs and graces then anything else.
So when they got
home, Lucinda said, “Mom, Dad, Can I please go to another school? This school doesn’t
fit me, and I think it’s too expensive.”
“Oh yes of course said Lucinda’s dad “Which
school do you want to go to?” “The same one as sage.” Said Lucinda. And that’s
what happened.
A few months after Lucinda had moved to Sage’s school, a new
student came and was ordered to sit next to Lucinda.
The new girl shook Lucinda’s
hand energetically and said “My name is Amy. What’s yours?”
“Lucinda” said
Lucinda. “There’s something vaguely familiar about you”
