*Note: I know Monaco is strict, but I decided for this chapter, she would be a bit softer*
I yawned as I opened my eyes slowly and stretched until my joins softly popped. I brushed my turquoise and black hair out of my eyes, and smiled at my room mates. They all looked so peaceful. I quickly made sure they were still asleep, then slipped on my glasses so I could see the time....
3:00 am? I'm up at 3:00 am on a Wednesday? I sighed and stood up, smoothing out my black night shirt and navy pj bottoms and stepped into my black boot slippers. I was about to start brushing my hair, when.....
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!
I stared at the door, confused. Who would knock at MY door at 3:00 am? "Probably someone who is new and got lost...." I whisper so I don't wake the others. I tip-toed/ran to the door and opened it.
"Bonjour? Who's there?"
"Hello, You must be Pandora Bonnefoy-Carriedo." A small girl with blond hair and greenish/blue eyes stood staring at me. She was wearing a long blue dress that matched the ribbon she had in her hair.
"Ummm.....oui, oui I am. And you are?" I asked as I stared at this strange girl. She smiled at me and quickly hugged me tightly.
"I'm your little sister, Monaco!" I was dumbfounded. I...had a sister?! Why did France or Spain never tell me this?!?!
"Are you sure you're my sister?"
"Big brother France told me that I had a sister called Pandora, who's country was Andorra. This is you, is it not?" I sighed. Monaco was no taller than Liechtenstein, and I am quite tall for my age, so I knelt down beside her. She looked like France, with the same hair colour and the same facial structure. She even looked a bit like me. She had my pale skin, my body build and my eye colour.
"You are my sister...." She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back and wrapped my arms around her slim body.
"I have a big sister!" She shouted. I laughed and shushed her.
"I don't want my roommates to wake up. How old are you anyways, sweetheart?"
"I'm 13, turning 14 in January. How old are you?"
"I'm 18, turning 19 in June." I grabbed her hand, her suitcase and started walking into my room.
"You sit on my bed while I get you some night clothes." I whispered as I rummaged through my top drawer, which is the one where I keep my night clothes and underwear. She nodded and sat on my bed, looking around then giggled when she saw my teddy bear.
"Here we are!" I said as I held up an light green nighty. I handed it to her. She stared at me and smiled again. I turned around and let her get dressed.
"Andorra?"
I turned around and smiled at her. The sleeves of my nighty were far too long and the hem dragged on the floor. I couldn't help but laugh slightly, then I helped her by rolling the sleeves up to her elbows. I then lifted her onto my bed. I kicked off my slippers and lay beside my little sister.
"Night, night Monaco...."
"Night, night big sister....I love you." I looked down at the sleeping country curled up against my chest. I smiled softly and wrapped my arms around her.
"I love you to, little sis." I started falling asleep again, feeling warm and happy to have my new sibling lying beside me.
When I woke up, Monaco was still lying beside me, curled into a ball and holding my teddy bear. I smiled and checked the time. 6:30. I yawned and smiled again. The others would be waking up soon, and I'll have to explain to them who she is. I stood up, stretched, and scratched my head. It was only after I got into the shower and started washing my hair, that I realised.....
Tonight was the first night in 14 years that I slept with out nightmares.
