A Hint Of Hope

Chapter 4

The clouds formed into a funnel and the sky went dangerously black. I held onto Chase for dear life but the wind was too strong my brother was swept away from me. I was left in the center on the dusty funnel my parents tied to a chair wimpering for Chase. The clouds cleared up everything was restored exsept for Chase who was still lost in the clouds.

"Ruben honey wake up your drenched in sweat" my mother tugged up my shirt over my head and threw it on the floor.

"I had a bad dream" I pushed the strands of curls stuck on my face.

"Baby I have been having bad dreams too and they all are relevant to... Chase" We said his name in unity. "Honey we just have to have faith, he'll be just fine." She assured me but I could tell she didn't know for sure either.

"Thanks mom... what did you want?" I was slightly confused why she came in my room.

"Oh yeah, theres a limo outside waiting for you."She raised and eyebrow.

"A limo? Oh yeah a limo... I start my new job today" I smiled.

"In a limo? What are you an escort?" She laughed half heartedly.

"I wish" I said quietly but then stood up and encouraged my mom to leave my room. I kissed her pale white cheek and closed my bedroom door.

Afted taking a shower and fighting my afro I was finally ready to go. I wore some black skinny jeans with a white shirt. When I stepped outside my limo driver was leaning against the car smoking a cigar. He spotted me and opened the limo door for me. I climbed inside and admired the leather seats and the mini bar in the corner. I knocked on the partition and he pushed the window over.

"hello my name is Alexzander what can I do for you madam " he said in a heavy english accent.

"May I ask where we are going?"

"To the Wilden household of course."I nodded an the patition closes again.

I spotted a bottle of wine and constipated whether or not to take a sip. Maybe after work.

We stopped at tall black gates shaped as arrows, there were large sculptors on my left and right. Alex punched in some numbers on a pole thing and the gates of heave- I mean the Wilden household opened. The outside of the house was bigger than the white house, maybe I was exaggerating but I have never been inside of a house this big. The whole situation was overwhelming, but I plastered a big, stupid smile on my face that hurt my cheeks but I just couldn't stop.

Alex walked me to the door before it swung open and he went back to the limo. It was an older lady whos face was caked with make-up. She was wearing a long black elegant dress and expensive jewelery to match. She towered over me in her high heels.

"Who might you be?" She scrunched up her face in disgust. That or she smelled something foul.

"Im Justin Wilden's new employee. I stated.

"Oh you must be Avery's new nanny" she laughed. "How'd you ever get this job?

"I applied for a job?..."

"Come in please" she brought me to a large couch and walked away swiching hard may I add for a older lady.

A huge painting hung on the wall above a fire place in front of me and a stair case with a gold railing behind me. The walls were cream with gold lining in every coner. I looked above me and there were paintings of clouds and angels. This house was nothing short of magnificent. Coming inside a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling. I admired every detail of the house it was very open. I could see every room from where I sat the dining room which was a classic silver and gold theme the chairs alone seemed to be worth more than me. Two miniature chandelier hung from the celing also.
