Wild Space

♥41♥

Waking up today felt too familiar, one which I hadn't had the pleasure in feeling for a while. For instance, my body was intoned with the bed and surrounding. I could feel the familiarity seeping through my bones getting me relaxed instantly as I opened my eyes. Getting up, with too many fluffy pillows and warm blankets got me smiling as I stretched my limbs further out. 

The happy tweets and chirrups got me looking to the windows which were opened and dusted. In fact, the whole room was dusted and clean and looked too close like my old room.

Scrunching my brows, I looked around. Indeed the room was familiar, it was my room. The realization got my alarms buzzing. I opened my eyes widely and looked around. Nothing was amiss and nothing was changed. Everything was just as it was before.

Tangled in my bed sheets, I sat there looking out feeling a déjà vu pass through me. What am I gonna go now; bothered me heavily. I remember the next clue was in the attic this time. Something was telling me by the time I figured it all out; it's going to be too late. But, I don't mind, I just want to take my time and find it. It's not like they or I am in a hurry.

The room was opened slowly and in walked Annalisa with a tray in hand. When she saw me up and awake, she paused by the doors, leaning against the frame and looked at me with tears in her eyes. I smiled at her. She walked in, closed the doors and set aside the tray to the bedside table and then threw herself on me. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore, even though she was our maid, she was the only thing that showed me kindness.

The fresh smell of bacon, potatoes, waffles, and syrup got my tongue in a twisted mess. I smiled and started to eat the homely goodies. Anna just waited there for me to feel full. There was a hardboiled egg with milk too; I golfed down that, leaving behind no crumbs. When I was full, I positioned the pillows and plopped back again with a sigh.

"How are you?" Anna was unsure to talk to me.

I looked at her and just stared at her for so long. "My mom washed her hands to mess up mine and I couldn't be happier."

"Don't say that."

"Or what Anna, you tell me." I got up from the bed, "She did this so she could escape, otherwise what possible explanation could she tell for dragging me into this mess? I wasn't even there to protest."

I had tears in my tears, come on, you can't blame me. Though I wasn't too keen on having an education; that doesn't mean I didn't want any. I was ripped out from it because I had to look for the clues. And what were the clues leading to; I have no idea, why should I find it and for whom; I don't know. You see, am I blessed with such a twisted fate?

"She wouldn't have done this if she wasn't in such a mess Lily, you have to understand."

"She could have done anything else but drag me in Lisa, you certainly can't talk to her."

"From what I heard, she was threatened by saying they will kill you. She couldn't afford that."

"So, yea, she says when I reach a certain age, I will find whatever it is for them and like a fool they accepted? I can't believe that."

"I don't know about that, but I don't think she would have done this if there wasn't a reason."

"You talk as if you are really standing by her- you know my mother and you don't even know her."

"I am not, I am just saying. I don't know... no mother will do something if they don't find something positive and right in their motive. I just trust mother instincts."
