"A Perfect Past"

A pleasant day, as usual, Genesis Arya Rivera a sixteen years old girl was so happy because her beloved father has finally come back from his long voyage. A smile on her face was lighted up as she sees her father walking toward her. In his hand, he held a sword, a magnificent one. The blade was extremely thin, yet strong. The design was very delicate every single detail points out that it was a gift for her. Unlike other girls, Genesis was obsessed with weapons especially swords. She loves collecting them as well as learn how to fence. She hardly cares about beautiful things like dresses, shoes, or jewelry. The smile on her little face finally drops when she sees unknown women walk down the carriage. A ring on her left-hand ring finger basically explains everything to Genesis, her father had remarried. Genesis is not a foolish girl, besides her ability to understand things is beyond her age.

"Genesis, this is your new mother. From now on she will be here with us as Ms. Rivera. Also, this is Ariana and Audrey. I hope you girls will be a good toward each other after all you are now sisters. Genesis, I'll give you your gift as soon as I give your new mother a house tour."

"Thank you father. I've been waiting for it."

As soon as Genesis's father turned to the door with the new missis Rivera, Genesis smile dropped. Her step-sisters are giving her a strange smile. Although Genesis is not as filthy as she usually is, they still have the feeling that Genesis is not raised as a noble. What she usually wears is just a blue sleeveless dress at knee length. Her shoes are just a black shoe boots. Her hair was braided on the side of her face. This is an extreme opposite from her step-sisters. They both wear a girly dress decorated with a beautiful crystal details.

"Hi, I'm Audrey and this is my sister Ariana."

"Hi, I'm Genesis. Why don't we talk over there is the garden. The weather is great today."

"I don't think so. Staying outside for too long tanned my skin." said Ariana.

"Well... maybe inside?" Genesis smile. Although she loves being outside, but she still needs to impress her step-sisters. When they reach the living room the conversation begin. Genesis hardly has a conversation with a stranger, but she is an excellent strategist. She knows that she needs the most information about those 2 as much as she can possibly get in this short period of time.

"So, what do you enjoy the most?" she starts.

"Music, painting, dancing, shopping, dress up sort of these things, and you my little sister?" Audrey throws a question back at her.

"Fencing, arching, take a ride maybe?"

"What a weir...oh... wonderful activity of yours."

"Genesis, come with me." Her father interruption in the girls' conversation is what breaks Genesis's strategy to thousands pieces. She follows her father to the outside. A chest lies in front of her.

"What I promise me dear Genesis."

"Thank you father." She replies while walking directly to the chest. Her little hands must the golden lock to open up. Inside lays a silver sword with the dragon shaped grip and a rose bloody red rose wines shaped metal wraps around the grip to the blade. Besides this magnificent sword is a bow. The same design as the sword. Each of the arrows are custom made to match the bow. Inside, there is also a little dagger hidden. Genesis's smile raised as she turns back to her father. She runs into him and gives him a big hug. This is what she has been waiting for 3 months. For a big hug from her father and a weapons he would always brings back for her. For the rest of the day, her father spend time with her stepmother and her steps sister. Genesis understand that they are new to the place, so her father needs to guide them through the house to make sure that they can get around by themselves. By that time, Genesis spends the rest of her day practicing with her new swords. One of the house servants helps her moves the weapons in the chest to her room. Although her father is a magnificent fencer, but he does not have that much time to teach her well. Instead he decides to sent her to a fencing school near by their house. Genesis is a top student there. She performs well in every of her matches; she is even fiercer than boys there.

Days passed, it is nearly a month since her father came back from his voyage. Genesis knows that he will be set for the next one soon enough. She tries to sped time with her father as much as she can, but she is not the only child now. She has a new mother and 2 new stepsisters, now. Genesis is a very strong girl she can get pass anything that comes through in her life.

A week passed, then soon a month. It is time now for her father to leave for his next voyage. Although Genesis misses him very much, but she needs to hide it so that her father would not be worried of her.

"Goodbye father, I will miss you." Genesis hug her father for the one last time before he leaves the house.

"I will miss you too, my Genesis. I promise that I will be back just like every time that I am gone."

"Wish you a safe trip father." Genesis said before she turns to the door, wave a final goodbye and go inside. The sound of the carriage seems to be distanced in every second that the time flies. Genesis tear drops down to her cheek as she tries to be courageous.

"Genesis dear," he stepmother called her.

"Yes, mother I mean madam."

"What a great way of calling me."

"You shouldn't take that as a compliment. You will never replace my mother. The word madam to me does not meant to show you respect, but to show that you are nothing to me."

"What a strange young lady."
