The sound of the classic knocks on my door pulled me out of my dazed day-dreaming; I was thinking about the morning sun in Israel; with the many children of god running around their houses and having fun with their friends and neighbors.

The delight and joy of seeing children having fun reminded me of my last travel to Israel a few months ago.

Captain McDonnell had no idea of my where abouts after the long journey across the ocean. He was very much shocked to say the least when he saw a young woman in intellectual clothing showing up at the dock in long far Alexandria all healthy and good.

'Miss Valdot.'

I snap out of my dream and stand up from my sitting position on the large white hard bed. I pat my dress down and approch the door of my room. With a twist of the handle, I pull open my bedroom oak door and see Garfield, my uncle's butler standing in his almost clean coat and trouser, his lean back arched as he stood still.

'Good evening Garfield.' I greeted him with a hopefully genuin smile.

'Good evening milady, Lady Caroline has requested that you see her in the living quaters, that all the daughters of Garnet meet her, and she doesn't seem too keen on patience.' The old man said.

'Thank you. I will get my cousins Garfield, you make your way to the kitchen to help Egnes with our supper.' I patted him on the shoulder before making my way down the hall of the Garnet home, on the second floor. I came up to the first room on my right and knocked on the door.

It swung open and both of my older cousins stood furiously infront.

'What do you want!' Hariette ordered. I winced at her high sounding voice. Her orange frizzy hair was as neat as always and stood out to her pale skin and sky blue eyes, unlike her hazel eyed sister with the same pale skin and frizzy red hair.

'Aunt Caroline wants us all to be down in the living room.' I answered.

'What does that woman want now? To sell another one of us off?' Annette scoffed as she and Hariette pushed past me to go to the end of the hallway and down the stairs.

I then walked to the room next to theirs and knocked on the door. It flung open and a heap of dresses fell out, knocking me to the floor.

'Oh my goodness! We are so very sorry dear cousin, Sammy and I were just looking for our black dresses.' Latty extended her our out to me. Latty was a few months older then me with long brown hair and sky blue eyes complimenting her family pale skin. She stood short than me like the rest of her sisters.

'Who was- hahaha!' Latty's best friend, Samantha Smith laughed.

Latty helped me up.

'Aunt Caroline wants us all to go to the living room.' I told her. She and her best friend nodded before before walking past me, Samantha snickering about my fall as she went.

I moved to the next door and knocked. Daphne opened the door and poked her head out.

'Hello Dark knight.' She giggled.

'Hello Blonde beauty. Your mother wants us all down in the old living quaters, care to join me and walk down together?" I bent my arm to her.

She fully opened the door and locked hers with mine. 'Let's go for another class of hell.'

I gasped, 'young woman do not say the h-word.'

'Sorry, who is the young woman here?'

'You. Your an age younger by four years, you fifteen year old young woman.'
