Lost In Time

1

The sun rose slowly over the lush hills and trees of Lakeville and slowly over the Munroe farm. The sunlight peaked into Freya's room, illuminating the different vases filled with a variety of flowers. Around the room, the posters of different vegetation around the world hung. Outside the morning birds had already begun to sing their joyful songs.

A knock was heard on the bedroom door, it opened slightly enough for Mark, her father, to poke his head in,"Wake up butterfly, it's your turn to go and turn on the sprinklers. "

He then left to go and wake up Freya's little sisters ,Willow and Blair . Freya yawned and sat up in her bed with her drowsy eyes blinking in confusion. Her shoulder length brown hair hung past her face as a curtain to hide her sleepy hazel brown eyes.

With a sigh, Freya stood up to go and have a quick shower. After changing and making her bed, she thundered down to the sight of her mother, Halley, making breakfast. The sound of sizzling bacon and the scent of scrambled eggs was really mouthwatering.

"Morning mum," Freya greeted as she strode over to kiss her mother's cheek.

Halley smiled at her eldest daughter,"Good morning, Freya. How did you sleep?"

"Like a little seedling, I'll be back. Just need to turn on the sprinklers," Freya answered as she turned to leave through the back door. It didn't take long to reach the family greenhouse that housed the flowers for their mother's business.

As she enter, the smell of fertilizers ,freshly turned soil and fresh blooming flowers hit her nostrils. Rows of different varieties of flowers both on the top floor and bottom were seen. It was like a mini Garden of Eden in the Green house. From daffodils and roses to violets and tulips, Halley's Eden had it all.

Freya turned to the left corner to see some of her orange blossoms in bloom. She was forever thankful to her mother for letting her grow her own flowers. She reached out gently to caress the petals softly,"Good morning, beautiful ones."

After a minute of admiring the flowers, Freya slowly went over to the sprinkler taps and turned on the valves. In a swish, the sprinklers started to shower the flowers. With a satisfied nod, she turned and exited the green house for breakfast. Today was going to be a tough day due to the Fair in Lakeville so there was some things that need to done.

As Freya entered the kitchen, she saw her fourteen year old sister, Blair, sigh dreamily at her phone as she sank into her chair at the table. Halley had already made breakfast so she was just getting a cold pitcher of orange juice from the refrigerator," Blair, who are you texting at six o'clock in the morning?"

Blair smiled shyly at her mother," Gail Matthews."

Freya raised a brow as she took her seat,"The bullrider's son?"

Halley pursed her lips as she took her seat next to Blair," A Matthews boy? Honey, all four of those boys are hotheads. "

"Nuh uh, Gail's nice plus he's so cute," Blair gushed with a blush as she put her phone down on the table.

Freya shook her head and took a toast and slathered it with honey,"Isn't he a little too old for you?"

"By two years."

Halley's eyes widened,"Blair, you're fourteen! You're still a child. Why ,the boy must be sixteen."

Freya took a big bite from her scrambled eggs and chewed it thoughtfully as she watched her mother and younger sister.

"Oh come on mum, dad is practically three years older than you but you married him."

"True." Freya nodded.
