Feeling something poking me I reluctantly sit up. On the edge of my bed sits a smiling grace. Shifting my body to the side Grace shifts more onto the bed.
"You didn't forget did you?"Grace asks a small smile on her face as she shakes her head in a teasing manner. Thinking for a moment I still cannot comprehend what she is hinting at in my un awake state."forget what?" I ask in return no doubt probably making her think that i am daft.
"Your father is supposedly coming today." She states, her grin widening as she looks at my happy/surprised face. Jumping out of bed I can hear grace laugh as I nearly run to my closet, tripping on the way. "I hear he might even bring his lab assistant." She says a sligh grin on her worn face. Shaking my head I laugh in reply, maybe the assistant won't be another spliced up moron for once. Grabbing one of my dresses from the closet I go to change in the bathroom. Looking in the mirror I now see it is a light purple dress that is semi tight fitting and goes to my knees. With a smile I leave the bathroom satisfied,going back over to grace I talk her into French braiding my waist length ginger hair. Within minutes we hear a nock on the front door. I jump up from my spot on the bed and run to the door eager to see my dad after months of no contact.
"Dad!"I practically yel, as I throw myself at what I believe to be his form. Opening the door I am disappointed when I see the tall and slender body and blonde hair of Sophia lamb. With a sigh I let the well known female in, secretly wishing the average height and dark haired form of my father was here instead.
"So jade, how have you been?" I can hear the voice of Sophia lamb but It takes a minute to realize that she in fact is speaking to me.
Dragging my gaze away from my suddenly very interesting shoes I reply.
"I suppose I am fine, just disappointed that you aren't my dad. " I blurt out without a thought, within seconds I am stumbling over words in attempts to correct my mistake. "I mean..You see... I meant no offence miss lamb." I finally manage to spit out. With a laugh she shakes her head but quickly sobers.
"No offence taken miss Alexander, but this is not a social call." She says now voice suddenly extremely professional.
"What do you mean?" I ask confused as I stare at the tall woman before me. A look almost like pity flashes across her eyes,but as fast as it came is gone.
"I am sorry to say jade, but your father has gone mad. For his own safety and the safety of others I have locked him away. " with a sigh she tries to put a comforting hand on my now shaking shoulder but I pull away from the gesture in distraught.
"I assure you, your father is doing his role for the family. None of this is being done will be forgotten." She says a unreadable look on her slender face.
Ripping my gaze from the woman before me I begin to close into myself. Turning to the wall behind me I punch it leaving a hole in the plaster, before walking right in front of lamb.
"This. Is. Your. Fault. " I say putting emphasis on every word as I glare daggers at the brilliant woman."if it weren't for you and your stupid plan for rapture my dad would probably be sitting here having a very different conversation." I blurt out my words lashing out like whips.
Going to my room, I slam the door and stomp to my bed. Taking a pillow in my hand I blurry my face into it before letting out an angered shout of curse words. Hearing my door open i snap my head to the side seeing a confused grace.
"Do I at least get to see him?" I ask my voice full of emotion. I don't even have to wait for her actual answer as I see her pitiful face. With another string of curse words I let out my anger. Feeling graces familiar warm arms wrap around me I let out my pain. I guess i won't be seeing dad today after all.
