Break my chains

Chapter 6

I wake up with half of my body off the bed. Its eight o'clock when I hear a knock on the door. I look at myself in the mirror and fix my hair a bit. When I open the door, it's Pane. "Are you ready? According to Poltian, we have a schedule.", he said. "I'll be out in a few.", I say and close the door. I take a shower and put on a gray, long sleeved dress with black wedge heels. We walk through another hall that I have not yet discovered that leads to the dinning room. Androids wander around giving out plates and serving. I take a seat at the front of the large table. "Why didn't you tell us?", I ask to the three responsible: my father, mother, and aunt. They all look at me in response. Then my father decides to speak. "Well,"  He says looking at everyone around the table, "I didn't want you to worry and I just didn't know how to tell you that your from another planet. You'll think that your an alien. And you Helen," he lays his eyes in me, "I felt that you would hate yourself more. Yes I did know how you felt. Even when you thought I didn't.", he says. I just stare then let my eyes fall to the table. Two androids come and open the drapes. Beyond the glass is a whole other world. Big buildings and jet-like machines fly around as a giant moon comes from the horizon. Cars without wheels gloat close to the ground. Its so amazing, I don't know how to describe the rest. We finish our meal when Pane comes back and leads me out into another pair of halls(it will be very hard to memorize it all). We come to a huge room with furniture and weird paintings. Then I see a thin short man waiting a tight white sweater with tights slacks the same color we come closer and I can see he has white hair Sewell with a tight face and chinky eyes, and his complexion is almost the same as his lips. "There your are!", he gives me a light hug and kiss on my hand. I glance at Pane who rolls his eyes. "Ah, my manners. My name is Poltian. Think of me as an assistant, if you need anything, I'm on the case.", he say. Pane lowers down and whispers, "He'll be in your case too.", I let out a giggle. Not only because of what he said, but when his whisper tickles my ear. Poltian scoffs. We get back on point. We walk around as Poltian talks about the main halls and responsibilities, and I don't know the rest because Pane and I joke around. Finally, lunch. I decide to eat somewhere else. Luckily, Pane takes me to another empty room within few chair and table set with comfy furniture and accessories. I take a seat as androids set a set a salad with dressing in front of me. But then a question, "Pane, were does this food come from?", I ask. He looks at me then my plate, then back at me. "We have a few of our people living on Earth who we give a great amount of money to them. Half of the money is to our needs. Each group serves our needs.", he says. I look out the giant window. I occupy myself trying to do a compare and contrast on Tragia and Earth. "Do you even eat?", I ask Pane. He still has his eyes on me. "What? You want me out your hair?", he ask. "No, its that your here and it's lunch hour. Aren't you hungry?", I ask. "No, I take a pill that keeps me full and strong and gives me the nutrients I need. The only real food I get is dinner.", he says. "How can you stand living on a pill?", I ask. "Well, its not so bad.", he responds. "Well, you've been standing around all day. Don't you wanna sit down?", I ask. He looks around, then at me. "I'd rather not. Being, top in my classes means toughen up. I'm not that tired anyway.", he says. He looks into my eyes. This time, I don't have contacts so you can see the bright violet. I look down feeling my cheeks get warm and flush with redness. Then I see my phone that I forgotten my dress pocket. Then I search y phone and ask Pane, "Have you ever heard Earthly music ?"

"Um, once but not rarely." He says.
Then I play Iggy ft. Charlie XCX- Fancy. He stands there and listens while I wait for any reaction. He does bob his head a little and taps his toes and it makes me laugh. He is so serious that sometimes I never thought he had humor. "You know they never told me your name. Only, that 'our new highness is here' .", he says. I look up at his deep blue eyes that remind me of a beautiful ocean. "Helen.", he says. "Helen. Haven't heard of those kind of names around here. No, wonder your so special.", he moves a little closer, but I dint react. I just keep my eyes in his. But then we both here fast foot steps coming. We both look at each other knowing it's Poltian. "Come, come your highness. There is much mire ti show you.", I get up and take one more look at Pane who follows my lead.

I throw myself on the and turn on the phone player. I sing through the lyrics of the sad song Possibility- lykke li When I'm half way through a song, "You left your door cracked.", Pane has his head popped out, "You should really be more careful.", he says. I stay motionless, embarrassed, wondering if he was watching me the whole time. But I was too frozen to ask.
"Um, Sorry I should be more careful.", I say. "Yeah, unless you want me to hear everything.", he responds. "That's fine.", I amazed myself by what was said. That didn't even come through my mind. He gives a silent laugh and for the first time I see him smile. My heart rate raises and I have trouble breathing. He leaves my room and I gulp down the glass of water next to me that eventually has me choking. All I can think is, OMG . This has never happened to me before.

This time, I sleep better. In my normal position, hands tucked under the pillow. Legs crossed and crouched a little. And I don't remember my dream. I just shrug it off and this timely wake at 9:30. I take a shower brush my teeth. I dry my hair and try to figure out a weird looking flat iron. So I just put it up in a ponytail. This time I wear leather leggings with a thick strap short shirt. Only shows a little stomach, and over it is a leather coat. Then when I walk out, I see Pane almost dresse the same. Only with a black T-shirt. He sees that I try to keep my laugh in when it comes out anyway. "What?", he asks. He looks at himself then me. "Oh. Well, I always wear black. Just so you know.", he says, I walk to breakfast, this time, I know the way. But I only have been here for a day. I walk through the dining room as Pane leaves at the doorway. Cammy waits there for me and sees my blush as I walk through the dining hall. I spilled every thing out , but only set a sheild, that way no one can hear.
