Chapter 1: everything has change

~present day, 2042~

The forty-one-year-old woman arrives at the police station to pick up her daughter. When she comes inside, she observe the station to look for her daughter, "Good afternoon ma'am, what can I help you?" The woman turned around and there was a police officer behind her, "Police officer, I'm here to pick up my daughter, Mina Clayton." She informed the officer.

"Mina, ah yes, come I'll guide you to her." the officer and the woman go downstair to the prison, the woman can't spot her daughter until in the corner, spot a sixteen-year-old girl: her black hair been tied into a bun, her long bangs and the back of her hair are dyed into a colour red cherry. She wears a red sleeveless, jeans jacket, black hot pants, black fishnet stocking, and converse shoes. She sat down on a bed while reading a comic book bored, then when she heard a noise, she looks up and was surprised to see her mother, her mother's intense look made her sweat, "Ooh, hi mom! I'm glad you've come here to bail me out of here." This will not be a good ending once she's been bailed out from prison.

"Ok Mina, since Ms Felice is here, get out of prison." The officer opens the door as she nervously gets out from the prison, she's sweating once her pink eyes lock on her mother's hazel eyes, Mina can tell that her mother will have a 'talk' with her in the car.

"Thank you, officer, I shall go now with my daughter." Her mother grabs her hand, quickly walked upstairs as she clenches Mina's hand really hard until they finally got into the car.

The atmosphere in the car is uncomfortable for Mina as her mother drives her car at speed. "Mom, can you please slow down?" her mother didn't listen to her and stare at her deadly making Mina gulp, "N- nevermind." when there's a traffic jam in front of them, her mother finally turns the brake and causing them both bump pretty hard, her mother left a heavy sigh as she asks her to explain "Mina, you better give me a good reason why you're ending up on the prison, this is the fifth time you go to prison." "There's nothing serious, there's just a bunch of groups of girls bullied and tried to me, so I defended myself." Then, all of a sudden her mother tweaked her ear, "O- ouch! Mom, what did I do wrong?" "What did you do? I don't really care how many students you've fought, but making them injured badly that they've to go to the hospital because some of them have their bones broken?! You better be lucky that I don't have to pay for the damage because their parents are nice enough, or else I would've spanked you." Her mother let out a heavy breath.

"I'm sorry, mother." Mina lowers her head and frown, as her mother let out a sigh, it's silent for a few minutes as her mother suddenly pat her head, "If they ever tried to bullied you, please just tell me, and tried to control your emotion, so you won't cause any disastrous damage." her mother smile sadly at her, making Mina flatter and hug her mother "Aaaw~, you're the best mother." "Yeah yeah, quit it would you, the traffic light will turn green in a few seconds." Her mother pats her as the traffic light turns green, the cars move as Mina's mother drives her car to her home.

"Aah, home sweet home." Mina and her mother pulled their shoes away and Mina went to the living room to sit down and watch TV while her mother entered the kitchen. While she's watching a TV show, there's a news that pulled her interest, the reporter talks about a kingdom, she looks at an enormous castle in the big cities, she notice that there's full of advance technologies in there unlike in any other town, only cities have advanced technology and ruled by king and queen. But, a town ruled by a leader of its own town and doesn't have advance technology, Mina still watch the news, the reporter now in the most well-known kingdom called "Everlast kingdom". "This kingdom has been a stand for centuries, that the bloodline of the royal families have passed until this day, and tomorrow people will come to the ceremony for the new queen, millions of people will come, so please come to the ceremony, it'll start at 12:00 a.m., but if you can't arrive, you can watch the show." Mina turned off the TV as she entered the kitchen excitedly telling her mother, "Mom! Can we go to the Everlast Kingdom? Please." Her mother looked at her confused, "You want to go there because of the ceremony tomorrow, right? It's unusual that you want to go there, you never talk anything about it and say that you're not that interested." "You know what? I take back my words about that, so can we go there? It's been a long time since we've been on vacation, and we can also go shopping there. Can we just try something new once?" Mina kept begging her mother as her mother finally gave in. "You know what? You are a pain in the ***, but fine, I'll buy the ticket train to the Everlast kingdom, if you're not being an annoying person for 24 hours." Mina nodded as she pretended to zip her mouth. Her action made her mother giggle. "Here, let me help you." She brings the food along with her mother behind, the dining table might just only two of them, but it entertains both mother and daughter.

"Mom, let me help you." Before she picks the plate, her mother already grabs the whole plate in a second. "No need to help me, just take a bath and pack your clothes, we must be in the station at 9:00 a.m., so sleep earlier. We'll stay in the hotel for two night at Everlast kingdom." Mina surprise at her mother's word, "W-what?! We'll stay? for real?!" Her mother rolled her eyes, ignore her daughter as she goes to the kitchen to wash the dirty dishes.

A door click open as Mina enter her room after taking a bath, "I need to pack my clothes." She drags some of her outfits and brings the luggage. She packs some of her clothes, pants, and jean. Hmm, clothes check, pants and jeans check..."

Knock* knock*

"Come in." the door open reveals her mother in pyjamas and bring first aid kit, "Have you done packing?" "Almost.... and done." She closes the luggage, "Sooo, what are you doing in here?" She asks, "I'm here to check your wound, let me see it." Mina is a bit hesitant, but she still let her see the wound on her mouth, arm, and leg. Her mother opens the first aid kit and fixes her wound on her leg and arm, after that she use salt rinse water and topical medicine on her wounded mouth. "There, all done, good night dear." She closes the first aid kit and shut the door.

Mina looks up on her phone to look for the information about the Everlast family when she scrolled down, she sees an image of the Everlast family bloodline, "Huh?! The family have passed from the year of 1989 until now?! Incredible." Her eyes focus on every image of the family until she adjusts to the images of two women. The right side is a young lady who has violet hair in a side ponytail, she has aquamarine eyes, and her expression is serious. The left side is a young lady but a bit older, she has the same eyes colour as the right side, and have pink hair in a braid, her expression is calm.

"Wow, are they sister? Both look pretty but the pink hair lady is prettier." She thought, "I should search for their name." She eagerly about to search their name, but her battery shut down suddenly. "Damn it, I better charge it." She glared at her phone as if she's almost gonna throw her phone, but instead she rises from her bed as she charges it.

after she charges her phone, she lies down on a bed, "Tomorrow will be the best day, I hope nothing will go wrong." She thought with a hint of both excited and nervous, at last after she imagines her vacation, she falls asleep.
