Chapter 6

~Author's POV~

•Third Test•

Everything's gonna be ok, Curine... Your getting to close to get this job. You can do this!!! This might be hard but if dad was here, it will be a piece of a cake!! Suddenly, a squeak coming from the large door cut off my thoughts. It then showed a black hedgehog that look like my brother... Except that he is wearing clothes and has a third eye.

Which gives me the creeps when he threaten us by his glare and stern look. "Ok girls, I'm Lord Darren and I'll be the one observing you this time. Don't think I go easy on you because once you made a mistake, your eliminated. Understand?..." he spoke with a scary tone. Just my luck, my confidence just left me. "Y-Yes s-sir..." the girls all respond in unison before he start doing his job.

He wants us to dance half of the waltz one at a time with a robot that has feeling like everyone else. Well, I'm screwed... I don't know waltz!! No one ever taught me how!!! Well... except dad, but he only taught me once and I was just 4 that time!!! How could I remember it?!? While Lord Darren was observing other girls 'dance'. When I mean dance, means the WALTZ!!! My necklace suddenly glow once again. I silently gasp before I glance to Lord Darren if he saw.

He was too busy in focus that he didn't realize it. I took my chance and sneak behind the girls who were watching and let my pendant glow brighter, making it show my father's soul. "Dad, I need your help..." I begged in a whisper. "Trying to learn waltz I see~" he smirk as I roll my eyes before I continue, "Please, dad~ I'm doing this for you and my freedom..." I was whispering so the others wouldn't here me and get confused.

"Maybe a little flashback might help you remember, dear..." he respond before he wave his hand in the air like he is making a cave, which appeared a sparkling light before my c-childhood appeared... It was m-me when I was f-four... and d-dad is still... a-alive...

"Now do a twirl like dad taught you..."

"B-But it's so c-complicated... All of it...."

"Nothing is too complicated if you didn't try, Curine... Now do it again and this time, I'll watch you...."

"I did it!"

"Awesome job, baby! Now let's move on to the rest of the dance..."

"Where did you learn waltz, pa?"

"A friend of mine taught me before I met your mom!"

"I did it again!!! Yes!!!"

"You finally learn everything, sweetie... Dad's so proud of you~"

"If I ever attend a ball, I will dance my heart all night!"

"Save a dance for dad, ok?"

"Of course! Your my #1!!!"

My tears almost fell but i held it in and smile to him. "I remember now..." I whisper. "Really?" He ask again. I nod before he kiss my cheeks and disappear once again. "Miss Curine? Is Miss Curine still present?" Oh no. Lord Darren. I cursed under my breath before I went back in a rush and present myself in front of him with a nervous look.

He roll his eyes and motion me to dance as the music starts. I took a deep breath before I look around. "You can do this... Imagine yourself alone with me..." dad's voice spoke in my mind. The robot hedgehog offer his robotic hand as I shakingly accept it. I close my eyes and start dancing freely with him. He didn't expect me to dance differently but he followed me and start dancing ad well.

I open my eyes and saw dad's image instead of a normal robot. I was focus on dancing that I didn't realize I was having so much fun. Even my partner is having fun.
