Arabella POV

What to do?

Should I just step out?

I glanced at a sleeping Lio and glanced towards the clock placed on the nightstand.

6:03 am.

I started pacing back and forth in the room.

My throat feels dry.

I have to go downstairs to fetch a glass of water but I don't want to disturb Lio this early.

No matter how much he tries to hide it,I know this whole thing affected him just as much as it did to me.

Family.

Lio loathes this term.

For him family means pain, misery and lies.For him family means me and only me.I still remember when we were kids,how he used to say that our father is blind to not see how precious I am.He hated everything and anyone who hated me or hurted me.

On the other hand me,I don't even know what to feel.I craved for it but I hated it just as equally.

From believing that your father abandoned you your whole life to find out all of it was a lie is not a small thing.I still don't get it why that woman even kidnapped us if she was just going to treat us like that.

Their are still so many questions lingering in my mind,which I hope I can get the answer to soon.

I again glanced at Lio's sleeping form.

I'm really thirsty.

I should go downstairs.I mean what's the worse that could happen.I just hope I can scream loud enough to wake up Lio from his sleep if something do happen.

Eli did said that I scream louder than those main characters in horror movies.

Even if I ran into one of them, then I will strike up a light conversation.

It's not that hard.

I can do it.

I made my way towards the door and opened it slowly, peaking my head out to look around the hallway.No one is in the sight.I opened the door more and stepped out,looking around the vast hall.

Now that I think of it,I don't exactly remember the way leading downstairs.

Should I just wait for Lio to wake up?

Don't be silly Ara.

Just how hard can it be to find my way around in this house.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Even my grumpy gym teacher didn't make me walk this much.

I'm roaming in the hallways for 15 minutes, trying to find my way around,without any luck.Now I'm even more thirsty and tired.

I should have just waited in the room. I groaned, I don't even remember the way to the room now.

Great.

I saw a left corner leading God knows where in the hallway.

Just hope somewhere familiar.

I took the left turn and saw a grand spiral staircase.

Finally.

I descend down the stairs hurriedly,to the foyer, I looked around and spotted the door of the kitchen.Well I hope it leads to kitchen,I just got a little glimpse inside the room yesterday.I trudged towards the door and opened it quietly and stepped inside looking around.
