Elsbeth's Nanny

CH. 10 Rooms and insults

I woke up at the sound of birds chirping it was six o’ clock. I felt trapped. Wait! I was trapped. Elsbeth was holding on to me tight. Her head was on my shoulder and her arm was wrapped around my neck and her leg as well. Lukas head was lying on my other shoulder and his arm lunged over his head while the other one hanged off the bed. His legs were tangled with the blankets. I shook my right shoulder and Lukas’s head was off of me. I had a struggle with Elsbeth’s arm. Her fingers gripped my neck. It took me two minutes to get her fingers to release my neck. I sat up best I could and had less of a struggle with her leg. I got on my knees then put one of my legs over Lukas’s until it barely touched the floor. Monster ran for it and started to play with my foot. I laid it firmly on the ground and shifted my body so I was staring at the window. I put my hands on the bed while put my other foot on the ground. When it was I slid more to where Lukas laid. I lifted a hand then the other. I was off the bed without disturbing anyone. I opened the door enough so I could look out for anyone. No one was out there. I slid out of the room while the coast was clear. I ran up to the next floor and into my room.

My room had a couple of dressers. My bed was a four poster bed and had see through white curtains around it. My room was painted white. There were a couple of pictures of white stallions on the wall. My room had a balcony I also had a walk in closet and a bathroom. Everything was white. It was like a room for a virgin. White carpet floor, white dressers, bed curtains, blankets, covers, closet and bathroom.

I went to the bathroom and started the water. I looked in the mirror. My hair was tangled and kind of frizzy. I felt like the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz. I peeled off my clothes and went in the tub and closed the curtains and stood under the warm water falling on my head and back.

The bathroom was painted white. It had a white tile sink, tub , shower curtains, mats, toilet, towels, and a rack drilled in to the wall. Silver handles and glass. On top it held a white flower pot filled with plastic white roses. There was a huge mirror above the sink. There was two windows. One in the middle of the wall in the tub and the other in the middle of the bathroom looking out part of the orchard.

I got out after washing my hair, body and shaving. I was wrapped up in a small white puffy robe and my hair wrapped in a towel. I got out a blue lace bra and panties and put them on and letting my damp hair fall down. I walked in my closet to get my converse and my blue shirt and black sweat pants. I got black ankle high socks from my dresser. I put on  everything but the blue jacket. I brushed my hair and put it in a bun. I grabbed my jacket put it on. I looked in the mirror in the corner near the bathroom door. It took me back to the past. All the training done years ago. Now here I stand in front of a mirror. I closed my eyes and opened them and looked at the alarm clock on the drawer next to my bed. 6:25 it read.

I walked down the stairs and into the living room and waited two minutes for Kyle. He came down wearing the same thing as me. We walked out to the backyard and open a door near the end of the pool and we were standing in a dirt road that went many ways. One went to the orchard, the second one to a barn, the others headed to a fields, and a small forest like place.

“So where do we start at. I want to check out the whole area so I know what surrounds us.” I told Kyle “we going to start in the dirt field and end up at the meadow which is half of the property. Its ninety-six acres long. So we have to do half of it by foot and the rest horse back if you want.”

We started going to the dirt road. Keeping the same pace while running. We ran at least about half an hour before we started jogging then walking. We ran the rest of the time until we reached the end of the meadow. The closets neighbor was at least a mile down to where the meadow ended.

The house was huge. Painted white and it was three stories. It was also isolated like this one. It had at least two balconies from where I saw it from. It had rose bushes of all colors. It had at least two cars. A red old 1979 mustang and a  1973 black cadalack.
