Chapter 8 - Misunderstandings

Coral's pov
I was flying in the air with Hillary on my back. Ever since we left regal academy, she hasn't said a word to me. Like she was too upset to think about it. I was there for her when she had a terrible meltdown about everyone....as they were gone...and...she felt hopeless. "Hillary...can we talk?" I said trying to make a conversation. I could see her wiping her tears with the back of her hand as she replied "Yes...I-I guess...." I looked back at the sky and asked "Hillary...if you were a Mother and had lied to your child for...many years..and finally, she started leaving you...how will you react.."
She looked down at the empty ground and replied "I-I never had a feeling as a Mother...so I-I can't answer your question..." I sighed and said "We are almost there!"

Hillary's pov
Coral landed me in front of the Sea Witch's castle. Woah...It has changed a lot. If wasn't cleaned and it was very....gloomy. I took a deep breath in and marched to the door. I took one step into the castle and immediately ran back to Coral. "I c-can't do t-this....I-I can't face her..." I cried out loud. Coral tried to put a smile on my face "Come on! Lets go in together!" I looked up at her and nodded. I pushed the door open and I could heard the squeaking noises coming out of it. I looked around....it was dark and it seemed nobody was at home. "H-Hello!" I shouted "Anyone at home?" Coral stared at the floor "Look! Glass pieces..." I thought "oh no..I hope my Mom is alright!" Even though she is not my Mom, I still care about her...

Me and Coral followed trail of shattered glass and it lends to the kitchen. The light wasn't turned on and I could see half eaten eggs laying on the table. As I walked closer, I could see a woman sitting in one corner with her legs curled up. She was also holding one bottle of wine in her right hand. "Umm..hi!" I started speaking "Can you tell where is my Mom...I mean Serena?" The mysterious woman slowly moved her head up making eye contact with me. That is when it struck me, that woman...was my Mom! Her eyes were filled with tears and mascara was running down her face. "Serena..." Coral said looking at my Mom.

Serena's pov
I looked up and my brain exploded. "Coral....Hillary...." I said shocked. I think I am going to have a heart attack. Hillary reached her hand out and said "Here...let me help you..." I looked down at her hand and a tear ran down my face. I took her hand and was pulled up. "Come on..." She said "Lets get you cleaned up..."

Hillary's pov
"You can come out now!" I shouted. My mom stepped out of the bathroom with brand new clothes. She said "Hillary....can we talk...for a while..." I nodded. Both of us sat down on her bed. She started questioning me "Why did you come all away from regal academy to come visit me?" I looked down and replied "T-There is nobody at regal academy...the Sea Witch including Vicky has captured them all..." My mom's eyes grew wide "What?! She has...all of them?! B-But...what can I do...I am nobody.."
I looked up at her and hugged her. I could see that she was shocked but she hugged me back. "You are a somebody to me...you raised me to be like this..." I said smiling. My Mom smiled too but her face turned black. "What's wrong?" I asked. She took a deep breath and sighed. She answered "Hillary...there is also another secret, I had not told you. Long ago, I had a daughter...just like you and her name was also Hillary. I raised her for many years and she was as good as you now. But I didn't realised how much hate your Grandmother had against Hillary because she wasn't evil enough. Then one day, she was just walking to regal academy when suddenly...." My mom hasn't finished her words and started crying. "S-she...d-died..." Those words pierced through my heart, but I still put on a brave face. I placed my head on my mom's shoulder and said "You will always have me..." My Mom looked at me and showed me a small smile. "T-Thank y-you, Hillary...for being in my life..." she said. I replied "No...thank you for raising me..." After that, we gave each other a big hug.
