The EMOrtal

I Think I Forgot Something

I arrived home at about 6 in the evening.

Most of you might think my home is a dark underground castle, full of dark people and we all live in shadows and drink human blood.

Nah, we actually live in a castle in Pennsylvania. Its quite old (obviously! We built this in like 1400's) 

"Luxanna.." my uncle called me.

"You're father's calling you.."

Uh oh.. Im doomed! 

I went  inside the house..

"Heyy dad!"

"Ah! Mikaela! Finally you are here!"

"Yeah dad, I arrived just a minute ago.. so.. "

For the record DAD is the only person in this world who calls me Mikaela without being forced by me. That's because he was the one who named me MIKAELA ! (duh)

"Come, let us eat.. GENEVIEVE!"

My dad called his Personal Servant, Genevieve

"Is dinner ready?"

"Yes, my Lord.."

Dad held me by the back and went to the dining table.

We all sat down.

While eating Dad asked me..

"Mika, do you know what tomorrow is?"

"Uh Anniversary of the day mom died?"

"Are you insane? No!"

"Uh, Your birthday?"

"Close enough"

"Uh, Uncles birthday?"

"No you imbecile!"

"Um, the day grammy dies?"

Dad smacked my head.

"Of all the most forgetful people in the whole world, and of all the things you can forget, you forgot your birthday??"

"Wait.. Its my birthday ???"

My dad sighed

"Tommorow is your 3,516th birthday, in Mortalis world you're gonna be 17.."

"So that means.. I'LL AGE DAD !? I'LL BECOME OLD LIKE GRAMMY !!? I'LL AGE LIKE YOU!?"

Dad smacked my head again.

"You're still 16 imbecile.. there is still a lot of aging to go through.."

Actually we have our birthdays every 100 years so its no surprise for me to forget it.

"Oh right right.. so what am I getting tomorrow??"

"An assistant.."

"Wut?"

Wait? An assistant?? Why the heck would I need an assistant?

"Uh dad, huh.. You Want ME to HAVE an ASSISTANT? You're kidding right? Im 3, 516 years old tomorrow and you want me to have an assistant??"

"Its not just an ordinary assistant Mikaela. Tommorow you'll know what knid of assistant it is.."

"Okay okaaayyyy okayyyyyyyyy.."

After fifteen minutes we finished eating and I went to bed.

------THE NEXT DAY-------

I heard the palace bell ring. Its already 6 am and I have to be at school by 7.

I raced to the bathroom, took a bath and did my daily ritual.

"Bye Dad ! Im off!"

"Did you forget something Mikaela?"

I thought for a while..

"Wait, I forgot uncle!"

"He's already outside Mika, you forgot something else.."

I thought for a while again.

"Oh right.."

I raced to Dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Is that it?"

"Thank you for that, but you forgot something else did you.. something very important.."

Hmm.. what was it !?

Before I could come up with another idea, Genevieve,  Uncle Martin, and the other servants popped out with their gifts..

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" they all sang

Right ! Today is my birthday ! Oh how I miss this sight! For 100 years I haven't seen them singing this to me..!

"So, now do you remember?"

"Yes dad! I TOTALLY remembered !"

My uncle tapped my back and gave me a small rectangular box.

"WHOA! UNCLE ! This is so.. tiny! What is it!?"

"Just open it!"

I teared the gift wrapper and opened the box.

Out popped a complete set of drums, a dark pink electric guitar with an amplifier, a dj set, complete materials for making a recording studio and an electric keyboard.

"Oh MY GODS! UNCLE THIS IS SO AWESOME ! Oh my gosh !!"

Oh I forgot to mention. We have superpowers. Out of all the federations, only the Mortalis do not bear superpowers, and out of all the Federations, only us, the Obscurum can learn our powers. Lumina and Daemonium were born to have their powers with them. 

That thing uncle did with the box was JackBox. A common thing to learn. This protected the Obscurum younglings a thousand years ago, a few years after The War in Heaven. over 100,000 Obscurum younglings were miniaturized and squished inside a small box.. smaller than my gift box, therefore saving the Obscurum future.

"So you do like it.." he asked me.

"Are you kidding me uncle? I love it!"

 I went to uncle and whispered.

"I think your gift is better than Dad's!"

"You know what's you gift already..?"

Wait? I think he told me last night.. Screw it I forgot

"No, but I bet yours is more awesome!"

He tapped my head and smiled.

"Come on, youre gonna be late if you keep on chattering.."

My dad held mu uncle's shoulder.

"Tell me she forgot her gift.."

"She did brother.. Not to worry I'll handle her later.."

"Has my gift arrived?"

"No, not that I know of, the shipment in Asia is getting crowded. What came into you to get Asian shipments? Look! You can have Russia! Genevieve is Russian! We can get good shipments at Russia brother.."

"No, Asian shipments are easy and cheap. We can earn them easily, look how long it took me to get Genevieve!"

"I understand brother.."

"UNCLE!!" I shouted

"Coming Lux, coming.."

I went inside the car just before uncle did.

"Do you think Mommy Gramps will remember my birthday?"

"Oh Luxanna, your grammy might be 10,000 years older than you, but she never forgets.."
