Shadow

picture of the blurry garden is in front of her eyes with people all around the area laughing and talking, its a happy picture or it supposed to be happy and shiny but everything turned in to green and dark with long shadows, people turn into the shadows and the garden is gray instead of being green now. colors are disappeared and Harmony has gone, replaces itself with shadows of helpless people, The shadow of the helpless Queen, And queen opens her eyes with a scream, rubs her eyes and notice it was her scream, let out a little yawn before sitting up on the bed takes a deep breath Hanna walks into Queen's room which is actually Robert's room she sits on the bed takes her hand looks into her eyes " What's wrong your majesty ?" hearing this line makes Elizabeth let out a painful moan " I'm not a queen anymore, she said whimpering, Hanna strokes her cheek

" You had bad dreams don't worry, everything will be alright," says with a soft tone but these kind pf tricky lines doesn't have my effect on the Virgin Queen " It's not like I can have my throne " Hanna smiles at her as a reply helps her to sit up on the bed

" Trust me, this gown is uncomfortable and makes you see nightmares, wear one of these " she gets up and takes out a soft dress from the closet gives it to the Queen " let me dress you " she offers kindly and Elizabeth nods unpleasant but maybe she is right, maybe she has to do as she says. Hanna helps her wear the nightdress and lays her own gown on the chair beside the bed

" How does it feel ?" asks gently makes Elizabeth blush " its good but it's not too open ?" she giggles " I'm not that young anymore," she says politely, Hanna shakes her head " it doesn't matter, you look perfect " she lays on the bed again sighs looks at the stars " why I get back ?" Hanna follows her look to the sky and watch the black night " I don't know maybe there is something you should do " she smiles continues " now please sleep a little bit " she says gets up to leave

"Stay," she says moving to one side of the bed " here is more comfortable than the couch " jokes winks at her and Hanna accepts her kind offer lays beside her, eventually they fall sleep. In the city, Ethan and Bill are looking for the Queen although it's 3 a.m. They promised Margaret that they find her as soon as possible. Bill has another concern as well, In his school, it's forbidden to use whatever you invent out of classes and if anyone finds out about this mess he can't win the trophy of best invent and can't be a top student in the school also he cant enroll the collage of his school. There is no place for a rule breaker to get into the greatest college in the world, so he is so nervous about his future.

Ethan plays basketball, He loves sport and he is studying in the same school which Bill is studying, Ethan loves sport and has a well-built body he belives without sport he couldn't attract Margaret cause he has nothing to offer in front of her. Bill and Ethan get tired and sit in a park

" Ethan ?" Bill looks down " What will happen If everyone finds out about what we have done? they kick out us from the school? "

Ethan shakes his head " Not us, they will definitely kick you out! Its Word time school, Always strict, with no forgiveness "

Bill frowns " But you told me to do that I was practicing on frogs at school !"

" You wanted to operate it on your grandfather anyway " he shrugs Bill can't fight him he is twice bigger with huge muscles Bill can't fight him at all

" I wanted to do so but not now ! when I get full permission to use it! without permission I'm fucked up !" he said nervously, Ethan nods sighs fits his hands " We will find her and make her back before anyone find out ."

" I can't kill her, when she is alive it means she is a person we can't just get her back !" he gets up kicks a stone, it flies hit on Ethan's forehead "auch!" he said gets up to hit Bill but he ran away and Ethan follows him.

The next morning Robert makes everyone breakfast Hanna gets in the kitchen " did you sleep well ?" asks steps forward to give a gentle kiss on his cheekbone. Robert smiles " I did yes, I was thinking about Elizabeth "

" What about me ?" Elizabeth gets in stroking her own hair " Hanna would you fix my hair ?" asks politely and Hanna steps toward her to do her hair.

" I need a new wig," she says looking at the mirror. Hanna smiles " You got a good hair I'll take you to to a hairdresser "

As long as Robert didn't reply, Elizabeth asks " what were you thinking about me? I heard my name " asks gently Robert nods " Of course my queen, I was thinking is it right for you to stay here ?" asks with a low voice " I mean you belong to the past it might affect everything around us " How soon you get tired of me ." the Queen replies smirk softly, Robert shakes his head steps toward her to lead her to the table then pulls out the chair for her to sit " I love you, your majesty, I respect you, that's why I don't want you to vanish from the history " replies gently and sit in front of her Hanna is looking at them with a little bit of jealousy she can't help, she was in love with this man for so long she can't just lose him to a medieval woman who just gets here from 500 years ago!

She put a lot of effort into this so that she finally stole Robert's heart. And now she scares to lose him easily to this new lady. She is jealous but she isn't mean she understands Elizabeth needs help and she likes her as a person although she knows nothing about history.

The rest of the meal was about normal stuff, Robert wants Hanna to feel welcome as well so he talks to her asks her about everything and discuss her job as a waitress, Hanna hates to be just a waitress but doesn't know what job fits her, Elizabeth watches their conversation in silence and response to the time to time, for example when Hanna says she hates to be involved in waitressing and wants to do something big, Elizabeth told her to not be stupid and do her job perfectly.

Robert drinks his tea looks at Hanna " you show the city to Elizabeth while I'm at work and by some stuff, if she likes " Hanna nods as an agreement and gets up to get ready.

" Are you a teacher?" Elizabeth asks kindly

Robert nods " Yes I teach history in World-Time, It's a small school for talented children from the world...

Elizabeth smiles " May I visit there? Or only teachers and students are allowed to come ?" Robert nods " Of course you are welcome to join me but not today, cause you should get some modern stuff to wear I don't want children to disturb you "

Elizabeth nods " do you have an extra horse, Hanna ?" Hanna shakes her head " actually I have a car but last night I came by taxi so we should go by bus to my place to take my car "

" What is the bus ?" Elizabeth asks but Robert replies instead of Hanna " You don't need to go by bus I take you two to get Hanna's car then I go to school"

Ethan is in the yard waiting for Bill and Margaret they usually reach school together, But this time Bill reaches school alone with his bicycle and when boys where talking Margaret gets to school ignoring them gets into her class, Bill and Ethan watches her walking away.

" What happened to her ?"Ethan said sadly, Bill frowns shrugs walks away left Ethan there alone by himself. it's not like Ethan jas no feelings or is stone heart, he is a touchy boy and feels like if Margaret breaks up with him he will get to the end of his life.

The world time school is a picky school that accepts only gifted students, and gifted professors, people who have passion for what they do, and have big dreams everyone here want to reach to a spectacular goal. This school is strict too with harsh rules which makes it easier to get to their goal and harder to live. For example Professor Fox, he is a chemist and teaches chemistry he is a mentor of Bill for getting closer for what he wants, Bring back the dead! But he accepts no accuses If he finds out he did it out of the school before getting expert! actually he has to practice on frogs till the professor admits the fact that he is capable to publish his event and uses it now.

Bill enters his Workplace which is exploded a few days ago he looks at burned woods that are not brown anymore and the frog is still dead also its burned now he sighs all he could do last night was to not reach the formula as always he doesn't! looks down at the frog when he hears a voice a girl with long hair and big glasses on her eyes were in his workplace

" Bill, oh are you here you freak ?" she giggles

" Most of us are freaks here Joe " he replies friendly before turning to face her

" What do you want ?" He raises an eyebrow Joe smirks

" I don't want anything, professor Fox wants to talk to you "

" Wha_ No ! he noticed !?" Bill gets surprised, how he finds out! there is no way for anyone to notice just yet! even Joe doesn't know, she is a predictor and study here for few years so she is getting better in knowing things the others don't and it makes everyone scared to be around her, No one wants to get close to her and it makes her lonely, She is the only student who has this gift so school provides her lessons with a professor alone other than the privet lessons she studies with others at general lessens.

Bill sighs walk out without saying another world to Joe the shrugs turns to watch him leave. The professor's chamber is large and dark with paper laying everywhere, Bill knocks on the door waits for a response but nothing comes out he opens the door slowly steps in the dark room takes a deep breath

" Professor you wanted to see me ?" Professor Fox is behind a bunch of papers at the table he doesn't look up at Bill clears his throat and keeps writing, Bill sighs stands there in fear his body is shaking he doesn't want to leave school. It's the home he wants to study here to get to a noble prize and nothing can help him but World-Time school a school with nightmares and dreams all together !

Finally, Fox lifts his head up looks at Bill.

" What do you see Bowel ?" he asks staring at his eyes. Bill sighs looks around

" Paper ?" narrows her eyes

" What else ?"

" Your pictures professor"

"My picture yes, I hold what in them?"

"Nobel and other prizes "

He nods gets up from his table steps toward Bill who is looking at him in Confusion. He leans his back against the large black table " What else Bill "

Bill takes a deep breath looks around there is nothing but yellow light on he ground pointing at a bunch of papers all over the ground and pictures with him being happy and proud of himself .his throat gets dry he can't find the answer finally Professor Fox breaks the heavy silence which was choking Bill.

" Pride and dignity, what gives you that ?"

" World-Time school ?" he says shaking a bit Professor shakes his head

" You give yourself " Professor replies in a stern tone

" I do my best "

" YOU DONT, " Professor says angrily makes Bill jumps back ." You don't Bill, you keep using your stupid liquid on your grandfather without my permission it just gives you kicking out of school "

" I didn't, I swear " he lied he doesn't have any other choice but lie, Professor sighs. " Macforth told me you are breaking rules he saw you with your liquid above your grandfather's grave. Bill looks down " I stop give me a chance "

Professor gets closer to him " Look at me, only top student's get into the college of World-time school, so beware If you get fired Mac forth will get into the college, If you be the second one still he will go, so be careful and go on harder "

Bill nods in despair " Thank you, professor. he said walks out of the room, both excitement and fear fill his body and his soul starts to hurt walking to the student's hall proudly tighten his fists looks around he must win, he has to.
