Chapter 5 : The Persian Blue

Chapter 1

“Hey girls, got some?”,Shallow asked. “Nothing yet apart from a tiger that was found a year ago who killed two tourists. Seems like we are definitely gonna have fun!”,Ally replied. “Well I was looking at the history of the Last Lake. What I found till now is that Last Lake is a patronage that King Oliver II gave to a family called Maines who saved her daughter Aria from dying due to some viral infliction. The region of Toronto at that time was not very well equipped with the medical facilities. The Maines further opened a school to teach medical practises to the people which we today call the Maine College of Medicine, Toronto. It has one of the highest cutoffs too being one of the oldest colleges here. The Last Lake was earlier called the Persian Blue because when the night falls, during the full moon the color of the lake turns persian blue. Well in 2007, the name was changed to the Last Lake when the last family member of the Maines, Senile (Maines) Last died.”, Alicia told. “That’s a hell lot of history, though pretty interesting!”, Ally said. Both Alicia and Shallow agreed to it. “Okay, let’s do one thing, I will go ahead with the history of the Last Lake, Ally you go ahead with the events and Shallow you find the spots!”,Alicia suggested. Both Ally and Shallow agreed to it and they got back to work.

Mrs. Marina halfway announced, “We are almost halfway to the Last Lake, I know you all at this point will be very well equipped with history and events that occurred at the Last Lake. Anyone who wants to pitch a few interesting points?”. Some of the students talked about the Persian Blue and the family of Maines, some talked about the wolves that used to reside near the lake but vanished in one night, one of the accidents where the bus drowned into the lake and so on. Alicia felt that she had some kind of connection with the Last Lake so she went on diving deeper into its history.

The route to the Last Lake was very sound and with pin drop silence. It was almost afternoon when they reached the lake. They all were amazed to see the beautiful scenery and the greenery the lake had to offer. The flowers, the birds and the vibe was pretty much what they call heaven. All of them were provided tents to stay as a part of the group. They all got into their tents. They were asked to freshen up and have lunch in the “Twin Gardens”. The garden was pretty amazing and after having lunch they were given time to rest and were asked to meet at “Front Gate” of the Last Lake from where the further instructions will be provided to them. All of them went to their tents and started having fun. Suddenly Alicia saw that Shallow was missing and she immediately acknowledged Ally. To which the ally said,”I told ya, he might ditch us at any time. He is no winner of our time.” They searched a bit here and there for around 10 minutes. Alicia tried calling him to find that his phone was busy. Ally suggested she return to the tent and that he will eventually show his face in some time. This made her feel sicker. She wanted her visit to be normal but here it goes, something is definitely not aligned with her.
