Destiny

Chapter 1

Destiny. You can't hide from it. It's always there, watching you, following you, Deciding what will happen. That's what Me and my brother thought, before everything changed.

I woke up to the bright rays of the sun. Another day. I thought to myself. I sat up in my bed. My bed was in a big loft. I had royal red carpeting. There was a square door 30 feet behind my bed. The door led to my brother's loft. I had a light pink shelf. And a little window next to my bed with long curtains, that puddle on the floor. Yeah, I'm obsessed with curtains. Me and my brother's loft was different from other lofts. Ours were carved into the wall. Making it bigger. I sighed as I slid out of bed and crawled to the door that led to my brother's room. I slid the door to the side and crawled in. I crawled to my brothers bed.

"Get up"

I said shaking him.

"Okay, okay"

He said as he rises from his bed. We sat there in silence, avoiding eye contact. Finally I looked up into his eyes.

"I wonder what Destiny has in store for us today"

I said. The thing is, we're not a normal brother and sister. See, Our parents Went missing, so my brother inherited the house. He dropped out of high school to work full time, so we could live in this house. I had argued that day he told me about this. I told him education was more important, and that we could find a way to get the money. And his response was, " You're more important than school."

He won that conversation, but I knew he was struggling with all these responsibilities. So when I was old enough, I started working a part time job after school, and full time on Saturdays.

 Now, can you keep a secret? So this is what makes us Really unusual. We have a pet. But not just any pet, a pet gremlin. And his name is Denundrilsulrak. Yeah. Denundrilsulrak is a nice little fella but if you call him cute he will murder you in your sweet dreams. Yeah I made that mistake once.

 I crawled back to my room to get ready for the day. It was Saturday. I have work today I told myself. I walked down stairs and watched as Denundrilsulrak nibbled through his buj. 

Now you may be wondering what a buj is. A buj is a special food that most gremlins eat if they are really lucky. Usually we give him some when he is extra good. But he hasn't been good this week so far so where did he get it? 

Whenever I wonder if he ever did anything bad, he just looks at me with those big eyes the size as golf balls. It feels weird. Like someone had made me really happy, so I couldn't get mad at him. And I've never gotten mad at him. And something tells me I never will.

 I walked into the kitchen, My brother was sitting there, with that helpless face of whenever he has to fill out the taxes. I try not to disturb him when he's like this when he keeps telling himself, It's all over. All over... And when he has to fill out the taxes he wants to talk, and that was never going to help. It was better just to leave him. The door was 18 feet away, and he had his head buried in the papers. All I had to do was sneak past him. Going on tiptoes, my feet floated over the comfy carpet, made of the richest sheepskin fur you could find. I watched him sadly as I tried to figure out what he was thinking. He was probably thinking how he could pay for the house, or if we should just move. Our parents left us enough money to survive but without their trusty investor who disappeared with them there was no telling what would happen to all the savings. The thing is, our parents were rich, and left us with a mansion. After they disappeared into the blue. I sighed as I finally decided to go talk to him.

"Hey"

I weakly attempted at a conversation. This wasn't so good.

" do you want some help with the taxes?" I asked

His reply was a simple no.

I sighed as I walked to work. Yeah walked. The thing is, I have this weird thing, kinda like a phobia. I never ride cars anymore. I use to, but one morning I woke up and I knew if I got in a car, it wouldn't be good. It usually takes me about twenty minutes to walk to the Castle of Content inn. I am a tour guide for anyone who wants a good tour of the castle for not much money. I know the place inside out, and always used to come here as a little girl. My favorite exhibit is the crystal ball. The crystal ball may apparently choose a master once and awhile, giving them possible futures that lay ahead of them for the day, and telling them how to make something happen, and how to avoid it. The royal family had supposedly been chosen by the crystal ball. But the castle would not be open yet, so I had to work as a bartender for the inn until it opened. As I walked into the inn I worked at, I saw Hacker Jack Jack my boss, and enemy.

" You, Ally, are LATE by five point sixty nine seconds. That's an automatic demotion and you will only receive half of your normal paycheck today." He paused for a moment

" Also your clothing is so out of style. One of our employees should NEVER be seen like that."

He grinned as he walked away, probably thinking that he would get the rest of the money. But it didn't really matter since. I only get about one buck an hour. I sighed as I put on my apron, and walked to my spot at the bar.

Ugg! I hate him! He thinks he is so... so, uhh

I thought to myself. One day I will get my revenge. hours passed by, which seemed like seconds.

" My shift is almost done"

I muttered.

After this I have to go home, rest for a few hours, then get re dressed for my tour I am hosting at the castle of catastrophes. What a weird name. I sighed for the fiftieth time today, and took my apron off. And I walked a walk full of sighs home.

Ally was always trying to help. She's been so supportive ever since it happened. She was always make do with what we had. I heated the front door open and shut. Ally's home. I sighed as I got up and walked to the front door.

"Hey"

I greeted.

"Well someone's in a better mood"

She said as she walked up the stairs.

" you never change do you?"

I asked.

" Nope"

She said popping the p.

I walked back to the table where I had been doing the taxes. I'm almost done. I thought looking at the last two pages. I took the next twenty or so minutes looking at the taxes. Till finally I finished. Relief. Finally. I finished the taxes. And all I want right now is to take a shower, and then a nap. I don't care how girly it sounds. But I need a warm relieving shower. I walked slowly up the stairs to my room. I grabbed my pjs and walked into my bathroom. I turned on the hot water. The steam quickly filled the room. I slipped out of my clothing and into the shower. The warm water flowed off my body and filled me with warmth. This might not be such a bad day after all.

I thought.

After I finished my shower, I walked into my room and climbed into my loft. I could hear music coming from ally's room.

"Hey al, I'm going to take a nap"

I shouted from my room.

"Okay"

She replied as the music turned off.
