The Shattered Prophecy

"Why Andrew why?, after everything we did for you. We took you in as a Son, but this is how you repay us" A weak and garbled voice came through from the room. But the person who was referred to, turned deaf ears. "I'm sorry but I never considered you as my Family" He replied. "I came here for two purposes, One has been achieved and am yet to achieve the other" he walked towards the last room while they were screaming in pain.

"Andrew please you can kill me but please spare her for the sake of the love we've shown you and the fact she considers you as her brother, Please spare her". The man said sadly while clutching his heart in pain and agony. "Well I don't consider her as a sister and nothing will change that".

"Mom, Dad, Andy, where are they?" The girl's voice coming from outside the house sounded confused. "And here she comes, the last part of my mission, oh I can't wait to finally finish my mission and go home". The male's voice sounded aggressive.

"Andrew please don't, I beg of you, spare her", they were wailing in pain. They used their last energy to save their daughter as they used spells to blast her far away. "LAUREN RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!" Anger, Reluctance, and Regret filled the distant voice gradually fading away. And that was the last time she ever saw or heard from her parents.

Lauren stared around the room for the last time after remembering the painful past and thought to herself "How am I going to investigate my parents death if I am going to a school far from my hometown". Lauren sighed for the nth time and left the room where she had been staying after the death of her parents. Her Aunt was in the garage waiting for her to bring down the remaining luggage down stairs.

"Aunt Josie, you know you don't have to send me there yourself" Lauren said while putting her remaining luggage in the back of the car.

"You know it's the last I could do for you honey, but why the sudden change of name?" Josephine asked, staring at her niece who wasn't actually her niece.

Lauren's mother was a kind hearted woman with loving parents but Francis always wanted a sister to play with, so her parents adopted Josephine and treated her like their daughter. Josephine never lacked anything in the Martins family, so she was always grateful because they really treated her fairly how they treated their daughter. Josephine loved Francis cause she also treated her like a sister she never had. When Josephine heard of Francis' death, she was devastated and decided to take care of her daughter even though her husband and children were against it.

Lauren decided to change her name from Lauren Witson to Rachael Martins using her mother's last name, a reason known only to her.

And the Author of course: "Wink 😉 😉😉"

"I want to start a new life with a new identity. I hope you don't mind Aunt Josie?" Lauren asked her aunt who didn't seem bothered with what she heard as she continued driving.

Finally they arrived at the university where Lauren (Rachael) to be exact was transferred to. She was surprised to find how big the school was. As the security guard showed them the way to the Principal's office, Rachael gasped as she saw different buildings and how big it was, but being a nerd, she decided that once she was given her schedule, she would immediately go to dorm and rest because her plan was:

1. Make less friends.

2. Avoid anything that brings

attention.

3. Concentrate and study hard and also avoid punishment and detentions.

4. No bullying.

5. NO ROMANCE

Mr. Steve, who was the principal of the school, pushed his glasses down to nose and looked at the new transfer student before giving her the paper on top of his desk. "Here are your schedules" Mr. Steve said as he handed the first paper to Rachael and then he gave her the second paper before saying with a straight face "Remember to read the rules and regulations of the school and make sure to obey them. Your dorm number is at the back of the second page". He said while looking at her and then at the door. His meaning is too obvious.

Rachael found the man sitting in front of her too arrogant, aggressive and rude, but she left to avoid getting on his bad side on the first day of school. Immediately she came out of the office, she saw her Aunt waiting for her patiently. She smiled and walked towards her.

"Aunt Josie, I have got my schedule, so you can leave". Rachael said while waving the papers on her hands.

"Why do I feel like you're chasing me away huh". Josephine replied while pretending to be mad.

"No I am not, I am just worried that you have been gone for too long and you know, your husband will be worried because he loves you so much that he can't be apart from you".

Josephine smiled because they knew that it wasn't the reason. "More like he will roar like a lion when he knows that I actually followed you to your school" Josephine replied sarcastically.

Rachael smiled and waved one last time as she watched her aunt leave.

"Hey watch where you are going?" Someone growled at Rachael,

"Sorry I didn't mean to, am sorry"

Rachael apologized but said to herself "you were the one who bumped into me and now you are complaining, I wonder if this school is filled with rude people. First it was the Principal and now this guy. But anyway I didn't come here to study, I only came for my parents death. And from the information I gathered they all point and lead me here, but how can their death be related to this school, or does it mean that He is here??, If he is here, then I better act fast before he finds out that I am here". Rachael mumbled to herself as she walked towards the dormitory, looking at the dorm.

IN AN UNDERGROUND BASEMENT

Screams could be heard from a far distance. "What is she??" A man with grey hair and a long whip asked sternly.

"I really don't know. I've told countless times that I don't know what you are talking about!!" The guy in the cage who had been whipped mercilessly cried bitterly.

"Let him be. I think his memory has been erased by someone powerful". A soft female voice called out. She walked gently to the cage.

"Can you see anything?" The gray haired man asked softly. "Not yet, I don't want to go into his head now". She answered softly, but her answer didn't match her facial expression as she smiled sinisterly.
