“Blood…..
Why was blood here?
Why would blood be in café like this?
Or, the café holds a murder….” Fiena thought in her head.
She followed the traces and it lead to the staff restroom.
She opened the door gently only to find the room completely dark.
And there, the other café crew was standing by a source of violet light.
Mia, Zalia, Alice looked no different but the others were turning like they weren’t before.
Syaira and Gwen grow tails and furry animal-like ears
Enyz and Fazzy grew wings.
And Rita, her skin turned rotten and her clothes were replaced by white clean bandages.
So, she was an Egyptian bandaged zombie.
And to her biggest surprise was, Dr. Serafina was in the middle of them.
“GAH!!!” Fiena suddenly screamed.
They turned their heads and finding Fiena, stood there.
As she was about to run, and tell her parents and the police, she was attracted. Dr. Serafina was moving her fingers and Fiena felt like being pulled by invisible pair of arms.
And the next thing she knew it, she saw empty shrewd darkness.
***********************************
(In a meeting room quite fancy and elegant but also, quite dark)
A very long table stood there and 1 long endless table which might grew longer if more guests were added. And 11 thrones were occupied.
“You brought a human girl, here? On heaven’s Earth, why my dear daughter, why?” shouted Edmund Murdoch, the Wizard Emperor who was be seated on a throne. His wife, fair in complexion sat on smaller throne, next to his.
“Because, my beloved father. She looks alike my dearest daughter, Daphina…” said the princess, quite sad.
“Oh, darling…” said Adriana, who stood up to hug her daughter.
“Are we done with the family reunion?” said another man, quite pale, he had red eyes and a deep scar which had a bad memory to his mind. And he was the Vampire Emperor, William Thorn
“I’m sorry, Master William…”
“Never mind that, child…” said his wife, Sarah Thorn, whom had also quite pale skin and red eyes much like her husband.
“What are we going to do with her? We can’t just leave her in the Other Realm, she might cause eternal havoc…” exclaimed a man, he was bandaged and underneath those bandages was rotten skin and he had no organs left but only the brain remained. It was also noted, he was wearing gold Egyptian accessories and it seemed like he was a pharaoh. He was the King of the Undead, Amenophis Anubis.
“He is right. If we just leave her here, some creatures might get hold of her and eat her up” said a quite young man, seating next to the bandaged pharaoh. He was big, tough and quite hairy. He also seemed wild and the type who can anger easily and crave more meat than any other humans would. And he was the leader of the were-animal pack, Phillip Black.
“She will not cause havoc!” screamed the princess, defending the human she brought.
The room started to sound noisy filled with arguments, statements, and opinions.
“Everyone, STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!” screamed the Vampire Empress, calming the situation down.
“We may have a solution to this.”
“And what is that solution, my dear Sarah?” snickered Ogrania , the King of Troll’s, goblins, succubus’s, ogres and all those creatures which look horrifying ugly to human eyes and live to scare the living daylights of humans.
“My daughter, Serafina, had inserted some of her witch blood and her left eye to that human child. So, she can see us and the Other Realm creatures who roam the Earth. She can also sense the portals hidden.” Said Adriana.
“But, what if she brought her other human companions? You all know how I very much hate those annoying beings being here, bringing those silly contraptions they call a ‘camro’ which flashes light and takes your reflection. It hurts my poor eyes.” Said William, quite irritated.
“It’s pronounced ‘camera’” said Serafina.
A grunt and a star by the vampire kept the princess shut her mouth.
“That is not a problem.” Said the princess.
“How so?” the others asked.
“I’ve got quite extraordinary young girls to help me prevent the human girl to break this secret.” She smirked.
“I hope you are right, my child….. I hope you are right” said her father.
***********************************
The first thing Fiena saw after she woke up was a pair of red eyes.
A pair of red eyes belonged to Mia.
“GAAAH!!!!!!!!” she screamed, scared.
“Great that you’re awaked, but please, try not to make so much noise. Human screams attract the Other Realm creatures and they might come here and eat you up. I’m not kidding.” Alice snickered.
“W-where am I?” stuttered the human as she take a real look and she was in room and it was filled with the café crew.
“You, my friend, are in my room and on my bed.” said Mia.
“W-what?”
“Mia, you dolt. Sorry, Fiena, you are in, the OTHER REALM!!!!” said Alice, giving a knock on Mia’s head.
“Don’t hit me so hard, Alice.” Mia said, rubbing her head.
“O-Other R-realm?” she stuttered again.
“Yeah. Sorry if Zalia and my room’s too messy. We can’t place you at Alice’s house; they might suck your blood. We can’t place you at neither Syaira’s or Gwen’s house, were-animals have strong sense of smells and they might eat you up. Fazzy’s house is too bright, hurts Alice’s and my eyes. And Enyz’s house, you can’t even sit on the bed. No offence Enyz… And Rita’s house, lying on a casket is not comfortable.” Mia explained.
“What?”
“Yeah, bud…. You. Are. In. the. Other. Realm.” Alice sang.
“N- no freaking’ way! This must be one of those crazy ‘Gotcha!” shows! That’s a camera right there!!” Fiena laughed, pointing at a black cat.
“No, that’s not a camera, that’s just Zalia’s pet, Kuroneko. Boy, you really are on crack, huh?” shrugged Alice sarcastically.
“H-how can I be here?? Did you kidnap me here???” Fiena stuttered, still scared.
“No, Fiena.”
Just then, Dr. Serafina went inside the room.
“Fiena! How do you feel??”
“Scared…..”
“Ok, great to know that! Can I have a moment with these girls? You just lay here and rest for a while….” Said the doctor.
Fiena nodded.
While the others went outside for a while, Fiena took time to examine the room.
It was huge and larger than hers, and her parents’ room. It was a big as the school’s cafeteria. The floor was wood oak and some red carpet covered most of the floors. The room was painted red on one side, white on two sides and green on sides.
On the other part of the room, the red part, It was Mia’s side, a black bookcase, a black closet door, and a canvas with a white table standing next to it where Mia kept her laptop, her phone, and her art supplies, must be her study table. The bed she was laying on was large white four-poster bed for two. It seems that Mia and Zalia shared a bed. On Zalia’s side, it was brighter and had a large window with white curtains and sofa so people can sit down and watch through out the window. It also had a lime green table where Zalia’s laptop, phone and books were placed and arranged neatly. Beside the table was a little basket where her pet, Kuroneko slept.
“Hey, Fiena! We are backkk!!!” Syaira sang.
“And we’ve brought you candy! And don’t worry…. It’s human candy.” Said Alice, handing a blue colored sweet.
“Ok…”Fiena took the sweet and popped it in her mouth.
And the next thing she knew it, she was fast asleep.
***************************
Fiena slowly opened her eyes.
“Huh? Where am I?” she said.
She was in the café, lying on the bed in the staff’s restroom.
“Finally, your awake.” Said Syaira who sat next to the bed.
“Huh? What? Aren’t I was on the Other Realm? In Mia’s room?”
“Other Realm? What are you talking about?” Syaira said, confused.
“What?”
“Ok, you got me. You were on the Other Realm. But you can’t! I really mean CANT! Tell anybody about us. The Other Realm, the creatures and not even the café.” Syaira warned her.
“What?”
“Yeah, you CANT tell anybody about us. Not even your parents, not even your best friends, Dorothy and Jovianna, not even the teachers you admire so much, not the police, government, navy and army, to add it all up, not the whole Earth.” Alice also warned her.
“But, what if I d”
“Then you’re in serious trouble. Not only we will kill you, but also the Other Realm creatures as well for you petty stuck-up humans will come and ruin our beautiful homeland.” Mia said.
“What do you mean?”
“The Other Realm creatures keep hidden because of you humans. You humans believed that something different and inhuman were monsters. You mortals believed that just because we’re different, we’d ought to be killed. Just look at what you humans have done to beautiful Earth. You destroyed it by polluting the great rivers, and the majestic sea. You also polluted the air, and the cut off all the trees in the woods. And that is why you sometimes hear stories of trolls and ogres coming up to villages, scaring the villagers, burning it down to ashes. It’s because you humans aren’t fair. You humans destroy the woods, our home. So, wouldn’t it be fair if we destroyed yours?” Mia said, quite serious and angry and Fiena also realized that her red eyes that were always rosy turned Bloody Red and a flash of lightning was enough to scare her.
“Mia, enough… You’re scaring the poor girl” Zalia said, tugging her arm.
“Oh, sorry Fiena. I was being too over dramatic.”
“But, if you really, did tell the other selfish humans, Mia and I will cast a spell that might harm you, Alice will suck your blood, and Gwen, I mean ‘Blood pup’ will tear you down to shreds.” Said Zalia, now she was quite serious.
“Ok, I’ll promise to not tell anybody about it. Not even a soul” said Fiena.
“It’s a deal”
