Eye of the Storm Book 1 of the Ember Rising Series

Chapter 4 : First Day or Fresh Hell?

Confusion. That was the first thing that I felt before the memory from before hit me like a ton of bricks. I had completely embarrassed myself and not only had a weird vision panic attack I also passed out in front of all the boys. The feeling of wanting to be swallowed hole in despair was becoming a growing idea and an even harsher subconscious voice in my mind plagued thinking what my mother would say.

         Maybe I am a whore?

No! This is a fresh start and I refused to let my past define me especially her. I was in a new place where she can't harm me. With that thought in mind I decided to face my new roommates head on. So I exited out of the room I had awaken in began to make my way down the maze of the household following the sound of laughter it sounded so carefree I had never heard such sounds  of laughter with a real family and a part of me wished that I could experience that one day. It wasn't until I reached the last step when I felt eyes on me. Yup feeling the need to run and hide back under the covers where very attractive males weren't staring at me. Suddenly my inner monologue was interrupted by a barreling russian who swept me up in his arms twirling me around with a smile on his face. "Little Bird is awake and had us so worried." Said Raven as he turned me to face him. "You slept good little one see day." He said "You mean greet the day Raven." Said Marc . "Same." I couldn't help but giggle at his response before North suddenly shouted at Raven. "Crow stop swinging Baby like drag doll before you hurt her." He said as he took me out of Raven's arms before gently setting me on my feet. "East you know better Little Bird is always safe with me I am Professional Russian." He said as North seemed to ignore him before facing me. "Good morning Ember Baby are you feeling better?" He asked worriedly. "Yes I'm feeling much better I'm sorry for worrying you all I didn't mean to cause any harm." I said as I nervously pushed my finger to my lips on for North to lace his fingers with mine "You have nothing to be sorry for Baby were just glad you're ok. " He said and I couldn't help but smile because under all that black North was just very sweet.

        "OY FUCKER DON'T HOG HER ALL TO YOURSELF!" Said the familiar voice of Gabriel as he karate chopped North and I's hands so that he could hug me. "Come with me Trouble we have to get you ready for school before breakfast I don't want any of these fuckers to mess up the time I'm going to have with that gorgeous hair of yours." He said before Gabriel pulled me back up the several stairs and into the room I was staying in. As we entered I took a good look around the room; the room itself was big and looked more like a bedroom for a princess, the walls were a creme color with just a hint of baby pink making it feel like there was light everywhere, the four poster bed was so lush and fancy with intricate gray duvet cover and lets not even get started on the mattress. There was even a walk in closet, a balcony and even my own private bathroom. It was all too much and yet I couldn't help but notice the care that was put into the room.  "You like the space trouble?" Asked Gabriel. "I love it, whoever did this is amazing." I said as I touched the soft duvet of the bed. "Good cause I designed it."  I stopped and look at Gabriel with awe. "You did all this just for me?" I asked shocked as he grinned at me. "I wanted your room to be a fucking masterpiece something made especially for you." He said as he stepped closer to me and I couldn't help but feel my eyes tear up. "Thank you Gabriel this is the nicest thing anyone has ever given me. " I said as my voice became to crack as Gabriel rushed to me in a panic. "Fuck trouble don't cry, Jesus they might think that I have upset you." He said and I couldn't help but giggle and wipe away my tears. Why don't you take a quick shower and put these on don't do anything with your hair I'll be in there in a few to help." Gabriel said before he began to head out of the room closing the door behind him as I quickly did as instructed and took a quick shower though I was tempted to stay in there longer the shower head felt amazing only for me to remember I have to get dressed for school. I quickly dried myself and put in the lotion and clothes provided to me which was a school uniform. The uniform itself was actually very cute and stylish than a normal school uniform . It consisted of a short sleeve white button down with a striped burgundy and navy bowtie ,with a matching navy jacket with red lining ,and a navy skirt that barely covered my knees which exposed more of my legs than I have ever done in my life and black lace up booties that were actually really comfortable.
