"mama will be back before your birthday sweetheart I promise", is what she had said yet on my 5th birthday I was all alone. There wasn't anyone at home, not even the housemaids, Mom had taken big brother with her as he was smart, handsome, etc and dad had taken the Butler with him. I was alone, I was crying alone in a dark room, I was scared and I dint want to be alone here "where are you mama...hic...I'm scaaaredd...hic...I.. I don't..hic... Wanna be...waaaahh.." I cried for almost an hour till I heard sounds coming from the balcony. I wiped my tears still hicuping and opened the balcony door. It was past midnight and there was a ladder connecting my balcony to the balcony of the house, on top of it was caleb pulling something while facing his butt towards me and his bag over him. "Caleb.. Hic..what are you.. Hic..doing?", I asked him scared, what would I do if he falls? What if he dies?. He jumped into my balcony and removed a box from the ladder that he was pulling and ran into my room so I followed him. He placed the box on the table and started unboxing it, he then stopped midway and looked at me, " Lu hurry and get a knife so I can cut of the tapes and open it! Quick hurry!!!", I nodded my head and ran downstairs to the kitchen. I pulled a chair and climbed on it to remove the knife from the knife stand then climbed down and went upstairs, I stood at the door astonished, there were tears rolling down from my eyes. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!", Caleb said with a huge smile on his face and a stupid hat. He pulled me inside and made me sit down to cut the cake he had bought including a teddy bear half my size and he probably was able to blow 3 balloons when I went down. We both stuffed the cake into our mouth then played and before we even knew it we both slept in together.
Why was I remembering all this? More like where am I? Am I dreaming? I was hearing sounds of Caleb, Rachel, mom, dad, my classmates, Sebastian our Butler and every single people I have met in my life. My head was throbbing with their sounds, it was like a nightmare I wanted to get up, someone help me, I'm scared, help me, Someone just wake me up!!
I opened my eyes breathing heavily and sweating alot, "So it really was a nightmare ", then I realised there was something heavy on leg and someone beside me, I turned to look and it was Caleb. I quickly got up and on the other side Rachel was asleep and near my leg there was another girl and beside her two more boys. "where the hell am I?" I murmured and just then the little girl appeared again, "the Lord awaits for all six of you, where your eye and choose a dress of your liking in the closet and proceed downstairs to the throne room." I looked at clothes and asked her "isn't this just fine?". She looked at my clothes in a odd manner and said "No, such disgraceful dress is not permitted and also please hurry, he doesn't like latecomers " and then left the room. I pushed caleb down from the bed and got down, as expected even if there would be an earthquake caleb wouldn't know. I went into the closet and the dresses were all black, white and red. I took out one black dress and changed into it. It was a long lace gown like the ones you'd wear at night except these type of dresses were not really my cup of tea. Just as I was about to leave I spotted a black skinny leather leggings and behind it were black tops and shirts. I changed into a ripped tank top which had a skulls made of studs and chains around the neck with the black leggings and wore a platform heels boots which also had chains. This kind of outfits were the ones my mom would say "Hell No!!" to but it looked amazing and so badass. I folded my prev clothes and put it in a drawer then went to wake her others. I woke up Rachel first since I was bad with strangers who was too shocked and also was probably in the middle of the nightmare then explained everything the little girl had told me and then tried waking up Caleb which was practically impossible but as soon as I was about to give up, he too woke up the same way I did 'panting and shocked'. "did you see a nightmare? ", I asked him while he was adjusting to his surroundings, more like trying to figure out where he was and recalling the events. He looked at me then pinched himself and then looked at me like I was some sort of an alien "Lu is that you? What The fuck?", he scanned me from head to toe. "yep its here, atleast you had time to scan here and all", I looked back and Rachel was standing there her leg was all healed "and your legs all healed", I said while looking at it. Rachel moved her legs while nodding her head and then behind her a cute Asian stepped forward with other two boys and with a cheery smile leaned towards me and caleb," okay lets get over with the shock and seriousness and introduce our selves alright?". The other two boys looked at each other and nodded their heads, Rachel helped me get caleb back on his feet as he was still all shakky by the shock and all. The other 3 were talking and I intrupted them by saying "I think before we get to know each other you guys need to change your dress, we are supposed to meet some Lord and according to him the clothes your wearing is inappropriate ". All of them looked at their clothes then with a confused looked at me and at the same time asked me "What's wrong with this?". I looked at all of them with a surprised face and said," beats me".
