Born This Way

The Commands

The next morning I had awoken as the only person under the covers, my sisters had been returned to their own chambers. I simply got out of bed and put on my blue long sleeved dress. I didn't quite know if I wanted to go downstairs yet or not. It was eight in the morning, though. Family breakfest is always at eight fifteen. I sighed and quietly ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and my hair. I patted down my dress, taking in it's sapphire blue and beautifully woven black belt around the waist. It almost fell to my feet. I quietly walked downstairs.

I arrived in the kitchen to find the strangest thing. My sisters were both in uniforms, it would seem, for differen't boarding schools. My father came up behind me and lightly touched my shoulder. "Scorch, your academy uniform is right there. You are all going to be attending differen't boarding schools that my company runs. They revolve around age groups, so you'll all be with girls your age. They are all year round schools. We will see all of you during the holidays. Now I've already made this clear to your sisters and I don't want to have to make this any clearer to you. None of you are allowed to contact us or anyone at anytime that you are not supposed to be under my roof. When you are under my roof, you are only allowed to contact me and your Mother. The same house rules that you have here, apply there. Plus the schools rules. Your Mother is asleep, do not wake her. I have some lunches packed. The school is a long ways away, we won't get there intill eight o'clock pm. We'll stop for dinner. Eat some breakfest and then change into your uniform. I already have your bags packed." I couldn't stop gawking at him. He was setting us free. He stared at me angirly. "Stop your staring and get going, young lady!" I did what the beast commanded.
