"Miss Goldlocker." A soft feminine voice was coming from the out side of Persephone's bedroom, Every morning it was the same. Miss Petunia would knock three times trying to be as polite and polished as possible then would break from frustration and end up using a voice that could startle the devil right out of bed. Some days Persephone would just stay in bed so she could hear her get upset.

Persephone grinned. "Alright, Alright. I'm getting up, don't have a cow."

She got out of bed and stretched her hands high above her head. "Whats for breakfast?" She said through a yawn.

She waited for a response but none came, so she assumed Ms. Petunia had already gone downstairs to wake up her brother.

Weird? Persephone thought to herself. she always waits until I ask that, I wonder why she's in such a rush?

Deciding that she was making to big a deal out of this Persephone went back to her normal schedule, she washed her face and combed her hair, trying to decide if it would be smarter to style it now or after, she decided to wait. Brushed her teeth and combed her hair again, because in the her words once just would not do, As she pulled the brush away from her strawberry blonde locks, she heard a knock at the door. 

"Ms. Goldlocker?" It was Ms. Petunia again. "We are ready for you down stairs." Her voice seemed nervous and unsure like something was about the blow if she spoke to fast.

"I'll be down in a minute!" Persephone said trying to talk loud enough for her maid to hear her.

"Your father says to come now." 

Persephone gave herself a puzzled look in the mirror then dropped her brush and went to open the door.

Ms. Petunia was relieved to see Persephone awake and cleaned up but her face looked uneasy when she saw that she was still wearing her night gowned. 

"Miss, you really should change." 

"Why?" Persephone said "Its just dad, I doubt even for a nobleman like himself, he wouldn't expect me to dress like the queen of England for Breakfast?" 

Persephone got worried when she saw Petunia's face grow cold. "Ms. Petunia?" Persephone said placing a hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright, you've been acting kind-of strange today."

"And now I can see why you haven't." Ms. Petunia, being a foot shorter then Persephone looked up at her. Her voice was softer now more like a mother"You have company dear. I suggest you get dresses."

All at once Persephone remembered. "Whats today's date?" Persephone asked. Petunia gave no response. 

Persephone grabbed both of Petunia's shoulders and looked straight at her with anxious eyes. "What's Today's Date!?" She was practically screaming at her but she couldn't hold it in.

After getting no response Persephone let go of Petunia and started off down the hall, when she reached the staircase she stopped and pecked her head around the corner wall to see the main entrance to their manor. The golden walls and ceiling grew grey as Persephone looked down at the men in white suits and the stretched black car outside the giant glass doors. 

Persephone's legs gave out and she crashed onto the floor, her whole body shacking as she moved to hide behind the wall. Why?! She thought. Why?!
