CHAPTER 3
NEXT MORNING……Beauty Land
Sabrina sneezed out of sleep, lifting her body up to scan her sorrounding.
She was startled finding herself in the same place she’d collapsed yesterday….the cave!
She rose to her feet immediately and ran her hand over her body, as if to make sure she can feel her body and is still alive.
Why is she here?, yes she remembered her journey to the beauty land.
She’d only stepped her feet on the ground when she vanished and appeared here. How is that?
Is this where she’s supposed to be? and where the solution to her problem lies…?
“You’re awake,”the sorceress came out from an unknown room and walked up to her, stopping at her back
She turned immediately and shifted back as soon as her eyes met the woman’s.
It dawned on her that she wasn’t the same woman in all white she had saw first on her disappearance here
“Please ma’am….”her voice shook even when she was finally out of her daze,”Can you please open up this cave and let me go back to where I am coming from?”
The sorceress burst into a laughing fit at her outburst….then after a moment, had her face built up back into a straight one
And she couldn’t just ignore how much beauty she possesses, she’s the most prettiest woman she’d ever seen apart from the woman who had appeared to her on her entry here yesterday.
“I thought you were here for something dear daughter?, and no one just appear here without his or her prior decision to take something away from this place.
Beauty is what this place gives out and I don’t need to ask if that’s what you’re here for”the sorceress said it all to her dismay.
She blinked furiously, quite amazed at her knowledge
“I came for beauty, yes; that’s what am here for. The pain and suffering am getting from my ugliness is klling me slowly but…..”she stated before going on a confusing trail off
“No buts. The beauty you shall get….”the sorceress cuts into her thoughts.
“Any ugly human who comes here must get the beauty this land possesses.
As it’s forbidden for a ugly being to step onto this land”the sorceress added, leaving no room for any kind of protest from her
“O…kay ma’am,”she nodded her head, finally giving in
“Am ready to take beauty away from this land”the sorceress smiled on hearing this, she snapped her fingers together and two young handsome men ran in
Truly…..Beauty stays nowhere else but here
“Take her inside the room,”the sorceress told the men, pointing towards her
She walked forward and one of the mean lead the way while the second followed behind her
“And remember, a sacrifice has to be made”the sorceress said. She stopped at the room’s door when the woman’s voice came to her…..
There’s no turning back right? so she took the last step, finally stepping in.

Magadascar Kingdom…..9:30am!
Sabrina work up from the dream she had been entrapped in for the past 14hours, her eyes was the first thing she opened and on seeing she’s back to life and in her room, she jerked the bedsheets away and ran out of bed
She dashed into the toilet with great speed and the mirror was the first thing she ran to and positioned herself before with eyes shut
Right now, anxiety rushed through her veins as the thought of opening her eyes and her ugly bad luck face staring back at her. It really svcks her up; the fear.
What if she opens up her eyes and she meets another thing entirely….?
What If she now possesses beauty like that of the beauty land’s??
Yes, what it?
This second thought gave her all the encouragement she needed, she began to open her eyes little by little
Until it’s now widely opened and on her reflection
Wait; Whaaat?? Her eyes widened with utmost surprise
Tell her this is her face?, like her face now for real?!
She jumped up in excitement and ran up and down the room, her eyes gleaming fulfilling.
Words would fail her right now to express her happiness, this is it, this is what she’d always wanted.
