A BIRTHDAY, KIDNAPPING(S), AND A POSSIBLY EVIL BOYFRIEND

Hi again! Soo, if you're still reading up until now, I really appreciate it. Comments are very much appreciated! enjoy!

4th April. I knew that the number is considered as a bad omen in Asia, but I never actually thought too much of it. I mean don't really believe in superstitions and stuff, not to mention that it's the date and month of my birthday. But it turns out that it really is a bad number . So this is the beginning of everything;

It was the throne again. It's always like this. The same huge round table, the same intimidatingly tall chairs, each with a different, unique carving, the same seven shady, hooded 'council' guys sitting on them chairs. But this time, the silence was different. It was much more... tense. "Isn't it about time that we took action?" A light feminine voice broke the tensed silence. "We can't. At least not until we can confirm it." A gruff male one said, matter of factly. "Yeah. And when we can finally confirm it, she might be dead. Or worse." Another girl said in a faux cheer from the other end of the table. I could faintly see the guy that first said it move his mouth, but just as he was about to retaliate, the person on the chair with different weapons carved on it clapped his hands and said, "Now, now we shouldn't fight over this, again. Why don't we just take a vote on what we should do?" I could clearly hear his playful southern accent. Suddenly, one of them snapped his head towards where I was seeing this. He was sitting in a chair, various majestic lions carved on it. For some reason, I could only see his eyes. One a bright gold, the other, a mysterious deep blue. They were beautiful, but sad and... burdened. "What's wrong?" Asked a boyish voice next to him. I could see him turn to his friend and--

"ROSIEEE!!!" a screech rudely made me snap out of my dream, and I groaned. I tried to roll over to avoid whay was coming but something jumped on my stomach, making me lurch forward and nearly coughed my vowels out. And when I was gonna push the intruder off me, she gave me wet, sloppy kiss on my cheek and began screechi.. sorry, 'singing' "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSIE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUU!" "Kelsey, I think you should get off your sister before you make her barf her insides out." I felt the little intruder lifted off me and I pried my eyes open to see Kelsey (my little sister) being carried by my 2-year boyfriend, Jeremy. I could hear my sister chanting " Jemmy! Put me down!" over and over, making me groan and slap a pillow over my head. "Careful kels,of you wake up the monster, she'll make you eat her homemade breakfast". Right after Jem said that,I could hear kelsey scream and stomped downstairs.

Silently thanking God for that small miracle, I snuggled even deeper to my pillow and tried to fall back asleep when I felt someone tug on my leg and sang,

" Wakey wakey Rose, Kels and I already made your dream cake~" I groaned. "Can't I just spend my birthday on my bed. Cake and all?" My muffled whine earned a chuckle from him. "Nope. There is no way I'm gonna let you and Kels eat cake on the bed. You guys eat like pigs. And besides, I already planned a really great day ahead." He said. I let out a snore.

I could practically feel him roll his eyes. "Rose...", hearing the warning in his voice, I rolled over and pouted, still closing my eyes. Kissing my lips, he murmured the things we could and would do if I woke up. He continued murmuring all the while kissing down the pillar of my neck, making me moan when he reached that one spot. As I was reaching to pull him closer, he pulled me off the heaven I call my bed to the floor with a thump.

Annoyed, I cracked my eyes open, mine immediately meeting his bright gray-green sparkling eyes and the dimple that appears along with his cheshire grin. He poked my nose and walked away, half-shouting "Be down in 15 minutes kay?" And as a retaliation I shouted "Manipulative barfette!" Safe to say that I could hear his deep belly laugh all the way from inside my bathroom.
