Zaccai woke up with her mother shaking her, she opened her eyes squinting at the burn she felt in the inner corners of her eyes.

"Come on honey time to get up" her mom said frantically rushing into her wardrobe and coming back out with a pile of clothes in her hands.

"Mom" Yawn "what's going on, where are we going?" Zaccai said tiredly, looking at her mom through the little gap in her half closed eyes.

"I will soon answer your questions, but now you need to get ready, so get up and go brush your teeth" Mrs. Tevel said still throwing clothes into a suitcase she pulled from under the bed not bothering to fold them.

Zaccai did as she was told and slowly crept to the bathroom back hunched and rubbing her eyes, she yawned and pulled out her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth.

When she was finished, she marched her way to her wardrobe and changed out of her night gown.

Her mom was still running round trying to gather enough things to last her for about a month.

"Ok, you're ready, go downstairs and eat your breakfast"

She didn't give Zaccai anymore time to answer as she went into the bathroom, grabbing things from the shelf.

Zaccai made her way downstairs humming a tune while shaking her head. She entered the kitchen and saw her breakfast on the table with a smile she speeds walked to the food and started eating.

In the middle of eating her father walked into the room with a cup of coffee in his hands.

"Hi daddy, " she grinned with food still in her mouth.

Her father chuckled at his daughters silliness and ruffled her hair, which was in braids.

"Good morning my bumblebee" Mr. Tevel has taken the habit of calling Zaccai that from the time she ate a bee.

But it was dead already soooo.....

"Dad, where are we going?" She thought went to her mom frantically running around her room trying to grab clothes and accessories throwing them into her suitcase.

"We're leaving"

"Where are we going.... Are we going to visit grandma or Addam (her brother)" Zaccai was now bouncing in her seat she haven't seen him in years and it made her lonely even though she had Camila she missed her brother.

Addam was currently in another country studying law. Zaccai may not have known was that her brother was intentionally delaying his time from coming home because of some disagreement with her parents.

"Bumblebee me and your mother are going away on a business trip," he paused telling his daughter, she was not coming with them "but you're not coming"

That one statement made Zaccai start tearing up.

"You're leaving me, b-but you can't leave me!" Zaccai started crying hysterically.

Her mom hearing her daughters cry from upstairs run down the stairs realizing that her husband had told her daughter the sad news made her want to cry also.

It was not new to anyone that Zaccai has an attachment problem once she loves your company she will always want to be around you.

"Honey, it's ok, I promise we'll come back" Mrs. Tevel uttered holding her daughter in a promising hug.

Having her mother hug her make Zaccai cry harder she will miss the warm hugs she receive on a daily.

"But where am I going to stay" her voice was muffled due to her head being pressed into her mom's chest but her parents still managed to hear her.

The couple looked at each other with nervousness scared of their daughter's reaction.

"Well, someone was nice enough to take care of you while we were gone" Mrs. Tevel said, dodging her questions.

Zaccai didn't notice her moms act.

"Don't worry, I promise you will be fine, but we have to leave today like in" she stopped and looked at her wrist "in one more hour so finish eating and go grab whatever you need for your room"

A little while later Zaccai was finished eating her breakfast, she hurried up to her room and went to her jewelry box.

Her favorite jewelry - a golden bracelet given to her by her brother it had a little silver bird on it with the writing 'Lil sis' underneath.

She pulled it out and placed it on her wrist, in the corner of her eyes, she saw a jacket thrown over the back of her red plush chair.

Taking the jacket up, she remembered Argento wearing a similar jacket like this to test her theory, she sniffed the jacket and was now certain it belonged to Argento.

Throwing it over her shoulder, she rushed back down the stairs, jumping over the suitcases that littered the hallway.

Zaccai went outside to the tree which the birds were at once she was standing in front of the trees, she looked up and covered her eyes from the morning sun.

"Bye Eaverly, bye mama and papa bird I'll see you soon," she hurried out seeing as her parents were now closing up the front door

Zaccai went inside the car and buckled up as her father drive out the garage.

Some time flew by since they left their house, the car pulled at a big house but not big enough to call a mansion-but close.

It was a two story wide house with  a golden brown color, with beautiful high arch windows littering the mansion.

The house had a baronial style to it-overall it looked warm and inviting, but also uninviting and reserved-it was like a facade

Zaccai jumped out the car while staring up at the house, she turned in circles looking around the neighborhood, which only had about 3 houses, that looked as if no one lived there.

When her father was finished taking out all the luggage the family slowly made their way to the door.

"It looks like we have to leave now our flight leaves in 45 minutes.... Am sorry, we can't stay any longer, but I'll make it up to you when we come back.... Bye baby, I love you and I'll miss you," Mrs. Tevel, said, kissing her daughter's cheeks, forehead and nose.

Zaccai could feel the tear in her eyes once her father did the same at this moment them, leaving her seem harder than it was 2 hours ago.

"Bye bumblebee will miss you" and with that her parents left in their car.

Zaccai turned towards the door and slowly lifted her hands to knock the dirt color wood. Once she knocked silence was heard until footsteps could be heard on the other side of the door.

Nervousness rose in her on the unknown stranger standing behind the door.

The door slowly opened to....

"Mr. Bellerose"
