The Last Embrace

"h.e.l.lo Olivia..."

"Hi Jess..."

"Have you eaten dinner already?" Jessy asked.

"Yes, I"m done four hours ago. I"m so excited to go home, it"s the only thing I"d been thinking all day long," Olivia responded with a smile on her face.

"You are excited indeed, I can see it on your face," Jessy commented. The woman"s face was glowing with excitement. "Let"s go now..." she said.

The women get out of the room and walked in the hallway going to the queen"s study room.

They arrived to the study room, Jessy pushed the door open and they entered the room.

Queen Margaret was reading a magazine when the ladies come in. She smiled at the visitors. "Sit down ladies," she invited them to sit down on the sofa.

"Good evening, Queen Margaret!" Olivia bowed her head as a sign of respect to the queen of vampires. "Thank you so much for taking good care of us humans," she said.

"You"re welcome dear, how was your stay here in our place?" Queen Margaret asked.

"Much better than in the cave your highness," Olivia responded cheerfully, feeling grateful for the kindness of the vampires who rescued them.

"That"s good. Are you excited to go home —?" Queen Margaret asked again.

"Yes please!" Olivia answered right away.

"Okay, close your eyes for a moment..." the queen said.

Olivia looked at Jessy.

Jessy nods her head. "It"s okay, Olivia, just follow the queen"s order," she urged her.

Olivia obeyed the queen"s instruction.

The moment Olivia closed her eyes, Jessy"s right hand move and freeze Olivia on the spot.

Queen Margaret walked towards Olivia"s side and placed her hands on the frozen woman"s head. "I will begin erasing her memory now," the queen said.

"Go ahead, Mother, I will go to my room for a minute. I"m going to change my clothes," Jessy said and left the room.

While she was walking in the hallway, she was in deep thoughts, the only thing she can help Olivia with is to give her some money and some golden nuggets to help her financially for the mean time. Until she can figure out how to help the woman become rich. The money and the golden nuggets won"t last long, she doesn"t want Olivia to go back to prost.i.tution again. It deeply bothered her.

She finally arrived to her room. She changed into her black ensemble and took the pouch from the drawer of the bedside table and counted the gold nuggets inside. It only has a remaining twenty pieces of gold nuggets. Then she counted the cash in her sling bag. She still has fifty thousand dollars. Not bad. She will give fifteen pieces of gold nuggets and thirty thousand dollars to Olivia as her parting gift. She put the money and the gold nuggets in her sling bag. She will give her sling bag to Olivia, and she will just buy a new one if she has time to visit the city again.

Done with everything, she exited her room and went back to the queen"s study room.

When she arrived there, the Queen was still not done erasing Olivia"s memory, so she had to sit down in the sofa and wait for a little while.

Jessy closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened her eyes...the queen was already done erasing Olivia"s memory of the abduction.

"I"m done with my part, child. It"s now your turn," Queen Margaret said. "I will go to my bed chamber to rest and recuperate my strength..."

"Rest well, and thank you, Mother," Jessy said.

The queen smiled at Jessy before she turned around and left the room.

Jessy was left along with Olivia in the room. She released a deep sigh staring at the frozen woman in front of her. "I"m sorry I can"t make you rich as of this moment Olivia, but I will find a way somehow, please accept my simple gift for you," she put the sling bag around the woman"s shoulder. "Time to go home!" she muttered to herself.

Jessy holds Olivia"s hands and transformed the two of them into invisible form. She then began the teleportation process in her mind.

A few moments later, they finally landed in front of the house of Olivia"s parents.

After inspecting that no one was near enough to notice what was about to happen...with just the wave of her right hand Jessy made Olivia visible again...Jessy knocked on the door first before she unfreeze the woman.

A few seconds later the door finally opened.

It was Olivia"s mother who opened the door. She stood there in the door unable to move and say anything because of shock!

It was Olivia who spoke first, her brows furrowed, frowning, wondering why she arrived on her parents doorsteps. "Mother?"

"O-Olivia? Oh my G.o.d! It"s my missing daughter! She finally returned!" her voice trembled in sheer happiness and surprised.

Olivia was more puzzled than ever, why her mother mentioned of a missing daughter? She advanced to the door. "Huh? Who is missing, Mother?"

Then she was hugged tightly by her mother, tears were flowing freely down her mother"s wrinkled face.

"Come inside my child, you have lots of explaining to do to us," her mother said. "Iggy, your son has been waiting for a long time for your comeback! Where have you been?!"

Olivia"s father and siblings got a wide smile on their faces after seeing her.

When Olivia finally settled in the chair...

Iggy"s voice floated in the air, he looks very happy and excited to see his mother. His hands were flapping in frenzy. "Ma...ma...Ma...ma...Mama!"

Olivia"s face brightened up. "My son!" she went to her son and hugged him tightly. How come they were back in her parents house? She and Iggy left this house after she found a new sideline, she hides her secret job from her parent"s knowledge. "What is going on, Mother?" she asked in puzzlement.

"You were missing for more than two years, Olivia! Why can"t you remember anything?" the mother said in exasperation.

Olivia looked at the faces of her father and her two siblings, they were saying the same thing to her.

"You were missing for more than two years, daughter," his father said.

"Yes, that is true, sister!" the two teenagers said in chorus.

Olivia shut her eyes in absolute confusion. This is insane! Why can"t she remember anything?

"Mother, can I rest for a little while? my head is spinning and I"m getting a painful headache," she said. "Maybe if I can have a long sleep, I will remember everything. Right now my brain just don"t" give me something to remember..." she said in protest.

"Okay, you can sleep in the room, we won"t disturb your sleep," the mother said.

Olivia went inside the room and was about to lie down in the bed when she saw the sling bag around her shoulder. She opened the sling bag and saw it"s contents...Wow!...is this true?...gold nuggets...she starts counting...about fifteen pieces! Then there is cash as well...she counted the money...thirty thousand dollars! Where the h.e.l.l she got this money from and how about the gold nuggets? Who give these money and the precious metal to her?

No matter how many times she tried to remember anything, she can"t! Her mind wasn"t showing her anything.

This is crazy!

Olivia lie down in the bed and closed her eyes, wanting to rest her mind, wanting to remember everything that happens to her during her disappearance.

...

Jessy who witness everything was feeling sad a little, the confusion on Olivia"s face was great. But she was hoping that the woman"s situation will get better in the days to come.

"Goodbye for now, Olivia, I will see you again one of these days," she said in her mind.

Jessy teleported back into the Facility.
