The Brave Soldier Girl

Chap 2:The "Hint"

Alexis POV

I woke up because of the sudden banging on my door.

"Alexis I need breakfast 'NOW!!!' " Michelle shouted.

"I'm up," I said sleepily while my eyes were still shut.

"Well then make my breakfast stat ", she said annoyed by my voice.

I quickly rush to the bathroom brush my teeth and of course bird nest hair. "Don't forget PJs," " I wouldn't dream of it," I murmur to myself.

Soon as I was downstairs I saw Dad leaving for work with a coffee cup in his hands, through the dinning Window.

"I'm hungry," Michelle mumble grumpily like a five year old kid.

"I'm on it," I said with a hint of calmness in my voice, trying to ease my nerve. "Well then step on it!!!" She yelled.

Feeling like a maid but more like a robot. I rush to the kitchen grab the necessary cooking tools needed to prepare the dishes for breakfast, I then make heart shape pancakes, fried Saguache, bacon and chocolate tea. Michelle favorite but I guess no one in the family knows except me of course.

I set the dining table for one. Michelle was so surprised that I remember her favorite meal for breakfast she couldn't help but gaze at my creative work and gave me a pleasant smile in return.

" This is so amazing Alexis, thank you," she said smiling, appreciating my creative work. Michelle then sat at the dinning table.

Did I heard right?
Did my bitchy sister just told me " thank you" not to mention smile.

I most be dreaming or something. I pinch myself literally trying to break my self out of this scene.

"Awe!!!" I groan out in pain.

"Are you OK," Michelle ask with her mouth full of pancake. "Yeah," I answered calmly.

Oh yes, this is definitely real and my sister just ask me how I'm feeling.

Mom is at work and so is my dad along with my two brothers.

" 'Oh' and mom said to clean out the basement, insure its spotless and she as a few important things in there," she said while eating her pancake.

"Why am I even telling you this?" she quickly realized then frown.

"Since I'm telling you this, guess I should tell you Mom and Dad is planning on throwing you out," hasty, she blurted the words out.

"But if you tell anyone that, 'I told you so' your 'DEAD' !!!" she bark at me.

I nodded my head quickly, frightened and stuned by her choice of words since I really do not want to die.

I quickly ate my breakfast went to the equipment room and grab a broom, mop , disinfectant, spray bottle , a bucket and a pair of long thick glove.
I gather the necessary equipment in order and prepared myself to clean the basement spotless.

Soon as my eye spot the site of the basement more than likely ' condition ' my mouth choke out.
" WOW".

It's like a million kids had a food fight in here. I walk further down gazing at the spider and cab web on the sealing making the basement look grippy. I walk to an coffee table and saw the dusty books and newspaper stacked up together messily. Tables ,boxes and chairs scattered on the floor like some wild animals were fighting for something. Closes ( expensive closes I can tell by the quality) dropped messily all over the floor.

In a rush I saw a fat rat came out of hiding sprinting in the sealing.

I gasp, then let out a breath in the polluted air by which I just realized , something stinks down here.
I grab my tools and started cleaning the basement spotless. I organize, clean, sweep, dust and refresh the air that now smells like strawberry my favorite.
