"Perhaps my heart could only feel peace and comfort when my eyes were closed and my mind was swimming in the depths of darkness, surrendering to something unknown "
the next day
Eleanor's POV
I parked the car next to my Aunt Maya's shop, which her mother gave it to her. It's the antique shop. She liked to work here and didn't go back to the herd much. I went into the shop to find her sitting and reading a book.
"Aunt Maya" I told her to look up at me
“Eleanor, my dear,” she said, smiling brightly, before standing up and hugging me
" How are you ?" I asked her
“Okay,” she replied as she pulled away from my embrace to lead me to the chair next to her and we sat down
We started talking as usual until I saw it was starting to get late and I had to ask her
"Auntie, I want to ask you about something."
" Help yourself "
"Do you have any idea of such a strange thing as moving from one place to another?" I asked her to look at me without understanding
" What do you mean ?"
“I mean, someone is walking in one area and suddenly finds themselves in another place.”
“You mean spatial navigation,” she said, as if she understood what I meant. Aunt Maya is a witch, and I think witches know those things that our supernatural cannot understand.
" what does that mean ???" I asked her
"It means that that person can move from one place to another, from one world to another, and from one universe to another just by using his strength."
" Energy ? "
"Yes, spatial mobility is something that does not exist in our world. There are books of witches that talked about it and mentioned it, but they only mentioned that it is a force that exists in a world other than ours, so if someone acquires this ability, it means that he does not belong in our world." She answered me to start thinking11
"Have you encountered something like this?" She asked me to see her
" Sort of, " I answered frankly, because I knew she wouldn't tell anyone
" how did that happen ?"
Twice it happened the first time I was in the woods of our herd and lost my mind and when I regained consciousness I found myself in a forest not ours it was bigger and weirder, the second time I was heading towards the hall to find myself in front of a road that led me to strange-shaped houses I thought I was hallucinating but it really happened She looked at me and was thinking

Twice it happened the first time I was in the woods of our herd and lost my mind and when I regained consciousness I found myself in a forest not ours it was bigger and weirder, the second time I was heading towards the hall to find myself in front of a road that led me to strange-shaped houses I thought I was hallucinating but it really happened She looked at me and was thinking
"I 'll look into it, Elinor," she told me
"Thank you aunty"
"No need to thank, but don't tell your parents you're going to win."
"Don't worry, I won't tell them before I know what's going on." I nodded
“Then I have to go, I’m late.” I looked at my watch, even though it wasn't only 5 pm
"I'll go with you, I'll have dinner at your house and see Alison and William," she said as she stood up to go out, she closed the store and she climbed up beside me to go, we got to the herd, and I parked in the herd garage to get off.
"I want to go to the station, my aunt, to drop this at the office, if you want to go home first."
"It's okay, I'll go with you," she said, so let's start walking together
"Wilson got first place, how did this happen?" She asked me in disbelief, everyone knows he's too lazy to start laughing
“Although he is lazy, but when it comes to his dignity or our family, he becomes serious and strong,” I replied
"You're right when I meet him..." Her voice paused to look at her, but there's no auntie
I looked around to find that my surroundings had changed again, and I returned to the place where I was standing yesterday in front of that street with houses. I began to walk in that street whose lights were shining due to the darkness, although in my world it was still daytime, but here it is already dark.
I started walking to look around and find there are shops and restaurants of various names, but they are all closed. I stopped at a big sign in the middle of this street and read what was in it
" Sector 5, The Hidden Kingdom "
The hidden kingdom Is it the name of this place???
" Who are you ??" A voice spoke behind me, and I turned around and found an old woman with wrinkles and white hair, but she was standing tall and looking at me suspiciously.
“I… I…” I didn’t know how to answer her
"You're lost?" She said as I examined her, she's not a werewolf, I can't feel her werewolf, but she's not human either. What is she?
" Somewhat "
"What sector are you from? I'm going to ask the guards to pick you up."
"Move me?"
"They will take you home, so you shouldn't be alone at this late time and without company, don't you know the rules and laws?"
“I.. I.” I muttered again
"I'll call the guard at once," she said and raised her hand to touch her for just a few seconds, and a butterfly appeared out of nowhere. I looked closely at that butterfly, opening my eyes in shock.29
" What is this ??" I asked, amazed at what I see before my eyes
"Are you joking? How can you not know the messengers?" She said as if she was describing something normal, what messengers??
"Ask the guards to come here, tell them that someone is missing from his house" That woman spoke to what she called the messengers to fly away3
“Follow me to my house until the guards arrive,” she said, turning around and starting to walk, and I followed her, but suddenly my surroundings began to return to normal. I stopped to see that I was in my herd.
“Eleanor, my God, you suddenly disappeared and you hid me, are you alright?” My aunt Maya, who was standing in front of me, asked me1
“Yeah, I’m fine. It happened again. It happens every day now.” I told her to sigh
"Did something happen there?"
"I think I know the name of that place."
"Tell me, I'll look for him too."
It's called the Hidden Kingdom.
"Okay, I understand now, just be careful there, we don't know what that place is, and we don't know what they might do to you," she said worriedly.
" Understood "
“I will try to find out anything as soon as possible.” I nodded to her before heading to the station
I downloaded the file that was in my hand in my office and went out with Aunt Maya again to get home. I found my father and mother had already started preparing dinner. We sat waiting until they finished and we started eating before I went to my room. I changed my clothes and lay on the bed to remember what that ghost girl said. It's called a kingdom, that means it belongs there?
"Where is she when I need her not to be" I muttered
"I'm here. You must have missed me these days." Her voice surprised me as she sat next to me on the bed
"It's been a while and you haven't shown up" I told her to sit down too
"Yes, I needed to get my energy back. Getting out of the body is not an easy thing and it takes me time to get my energy back. Also, I probably won't visit you often these days because of that."
“So you said you are from a place called a kingdom, is its name the hidden kingdom?” I asked her to look at me in awe
" how did you know ??" So I was right it's from that place
"It doesn't matter now, but what is that place?"
“She… I won’t tell you, it should be kept a secret for now.”
"I don't think it's a secret now that I know the name" I told her to look at me hesitantly
“It’s called the Hidden Kingdom because its existence is hidden from this world. There it is… Wait, why do I have to tell you?” I stopped talking
" Isn't there a reason why you're by my side??? Didn't you say you should stay by my side because I'm an important person?" I told her to look at me before she disappeared she ran away well now I'm left without answers
I lay down again, closed my eyes, and began to feel as if I had fallen asleep, and the last thing I could feel was that strange warmth all around me, and I fell asleep once and for all.
