*2 Months Later*
"Morning love" Darren smiled wrapping his big arms around me in bed.
"Morning!" I smiled my biggest. It was gonna be another lovely day.
I heard a knock at the door. Probably our servants from the castle.
"Coming in!" I commanded.
"Good morning, Mrs. Dusk & Mr. Dusk" Becky a middle age woman with brown hair in a bun and warm brown hair, who loved to cook, came in our room, as usual.
"Hello, Becky! Thank you for the lovely pancakes!" I said sitting up in bed and grabbing the yummy food.
"Your welcome Mrs. enjoy them" she smiled, dipping her head in respect and left.
"Honey" Darren said eyeing me with a smile.
"Yea?" I said taking a bite from our pancakes.
"I have to see my dad today, for some important documents" Darren said getting out of bed and heading for the shower.
"What's it for?" I asked.
"For me to worry and not you!" he called from the shower.
"Okay, love" I responded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Darren left our mansion, I was alone. So I decided to get dressed and walked down the stairs to the kitchen. I was sure there would be someone who wanted my company while doing their work.
"Miss Candice, may I suggest you read the latest fashion magazine?"
Ella, as all our servant who were homeless, jobless or lonely, was human. Me and Darren agreed that our servant were people who wanted to work here and not just dragged into doing so.
Ella had brown almost red hair with very pretty green eyes. And she was kind and talkative with people. She had the job to do laundry.
"You think so? What's the latest trend?" I asked picking up the magazine with a girl in a wedding dress throwing flowers around her.
"I think it's wearing knitting or beanies as they're pronounced, hats for the teenage ladies" Ella giggled and folded a white bed sheet.
I flipped the page to show varies knitted caps. "Oh, sounds interesting" I nodded.
It was fairly strange that somewhere it smelt like something burning.
"Miss Candice!!!" I could Pearl's voice screamed my name.
"What's wrong?!" I ran to Pearl who was by the garden's doorway.
"There's a fire Miss!" Pearl screamed pointing to the back of the mansion.
A pile of fire, was eating it's way into the mansion hungrily, staring from the bottom and climbing to the roof and in.
"Fire?!" I screamed in panic. "Pearl get everyone out of here!" She blond hair bounced in understanding as she ran inside and forced her soft voice to grow loud and alarmed and she screamed.
I ran for the nearest phone and dialed Darren's mom cell phone, which was the only number I knew from memory by now.
"Mrs. Dusk speaking"
"Melody!" I screamed in panic.
"Candice? Candice what's wrong?!" Melody's voice went from happy to fearful.
"There's a fire here at the mansion!" I yelped as a piece of the roof from above fell down loudy to the ground.
"Get out of there darling! And come to my quarters! I'll send a limo there fast! Be safe!" Melody said and closed the line.
"Miss watch out!" a voice yelled, but I couldn't see who, as I was pushed from my side and landed hard on the carpeted red floor. A body on my own, after I heard a loud 'clang' when I hit ground and something like glass shattering.
I looked behind to see a chandelier shattered into a million pieces from above the ceiling. Whose bravery do I owe?
I saw blonde hair and green eyes blinking, came in my vision. "Adam! Are you alright?" I looked at the tiny body hugging my own.
Adam was a little skinny boy that Darren and I found in an abandoned alley, one day we went into town all alone. It seemed he was parent-less with no memory of family. He was only 10 years old and we decided to take care of him, because I knew what parent-less felt like.
"I'm fine miss" Adam small voice spoke, his face buried in my dress and his hands wrapped tightly around my waist.
But my eyes wondered to orange-red glow going down the staircase. FIRE!
"Adam! Come on let's go! Before we are trapped in this place" I said grabbing his arm and runing towards the door.
"AHHH!" I heard a voice scream.
I followed the voice to the living room to see a heavy door landed on an elderly man. Who struggled to get out.
"Adam, help me get the door off him!" I commanded as I grabbed the edge of the door and pulled. Adam doing the same.
But it only budged an inch. A man came into my view, one of the construction men that were hired to fix house repairs, was able to help me remove this steel metal door.
And finally after a few pushes and pulls, I was able to see the man from under it.
"Thank you" I said to the construction man and pulled the elder man to his feet.
"You're welcome, my queen" the construction man saluted.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, my queen" the elderly man was kissing my hands.
The carpet was the next fast flammable thing to be on fire. "Let's get out of here!" I said pulling everyone to the door.
I especially had Adam's hand, even when we were out. I could see at least fifteen females and males running out of the building for their lives.
I heard a 'boom!' go off from the back of the building as a mini explosion happened. I ducked down with Adam in my arms, covering his little body.
I caught sight of the limo, Melody was talking about.
"Adam, on the count of three, we run to the limo, there" I pointed.
"1"
"2"
"3!"
He and I ran to the limo, like our life depended on it.
