Your Happiness... [Adventure Time Fan Fiction]

Prologue

Silence. 

The type of silence that calms you from the events of the day, or at least from my family on the most part. Finally a tiresome day of having to endure the constant nagging from my siblings as come to its end once again.

I took the time to clear my head and relax by delicately flipping open my mothers laptop, inserting its password and loading my ever progressing and stopping Adventure Time self-insert with the one characters from the show people don't usually do that kind of thing with, Prince Gumball. For what reason do I like him so dearly? Well, I guess that list will go on and out over the hill if I start. In short, if he were real, I don't know who'd I'd be happier with...

I canned my head to the side to view my empty coffee mug, devoid of my all day fix. I decide to get up to boil a new one since it's always nice to have a cup with me when I write or draw, it's become like company to me. Before I step away from the laptop, I saved my document and minimized its window. 

It's funny how monotonous things become if you do them on a daily basis, some people don't even realize it until they stop to process what they are doing with their lives. Even in the smallest things like taking out the coffee, filling a kettle, switching the kettle on and waiting for it to boil. It was in that 5 minutes of watching the kettle boil water that made me think. Overthink actually, which I've become the pretty good at to be honest.

It's my final year of high school, I've never dated, and the dude I like probably doesn't like me the way I do...Was I not good enough for him? If so then what must change? Is it my looks? My weight or size? My personality? Why does he look for the attention by other girls except me...?  Maybe I'll just draw my feelings out until I feel better... speaking of my drawings and art, it might not be up to scratch enough to get into a good university to learn animation, I thought to the point I envision myself as a sad lonely, unemployed animal hoarder lady who's friends all left her on the way because she became really bitter and angry about not accomplishing anything in life. 

I let out a heavy sigh and gaze at my reflection on the kettle's surface. 

"Hello there, Stressed and Depressed, the names Angelique, nice to meet you..." I whispered to myself, amused by my antics. 

As soon as the water was done boiling, I poured it out over my coffee. Within seconds the strong aroma reached my nose and I hummed with delight. I sipped my coffee back to my seat where I wanted to continue writing.Judging by the black screen of the Laptop, I assumed it went to rest mode as I was away, but when I moved the mouse it wouldn't turn on. Odd. Though, this wasn't the strangest thing that has happened with the devices in this house as of late. I shrugged it off and rebooted the laptop and repeated the process of putting in the password and what have you, just to discover the screen was in grayscale, (as in black and white) again, this has happened before and awfully recently too. My father has mentioned it being a software bug (courtesy of Windows 10 )and not our hardware though so it's not too much of an issue I figured. Guessed it would be safer if my father handles this situation and not me since I don't want to held accountable for damaging anything. 

Just as I was about to close the laptop screen, I heard childish laughter.

I frowned.

"Bernadette! Go back to sleep, it's really late..." I sounded in a loud-whisper to my youngest sister. I turned back to see no one. I got up from my seat to chase her back to bed, because the chances are she's probably hiding from me , that or she actually went back to bed. I looked in my room to see her sleeping soundly on her mattress as if she never woke up in the first place. I looked across the room to my left to see my other sister sleeping just as still.

I'm probably just tired and I'm hearing things. I walked back to the living room to close the laptop and turned off the room light. Guess I won't be writing much more tonight... I downed the rest of my coffee , brushed my teeth and struggled to lift myself onto the top bunk of the bed ( me and my sister share) as per usual. I grabbed one of my teddies and I snuggled up in my blanket, having it just about cover my head so I can hide from whatever lives in the darkness. I left a small space for me to breath. I was about to drift to sleep when I heard something be knocked over in my room and sleepily I partly opened my eyes to see what on earth that was. Quite frankly, it didn't seem earthly at all. I saw a shadowy figure drift out of view in an instant as soon as I gazed at it.

I shut my eyes tight in hopes I was dreaming. I wasn't. Which made things worse. I began chanting prayers in hopes I'll be protected by whatever that was and while I did that, I fell asleep...
