Chapter:4

She left my hand and let out a long sigh, and she went to lighten the candles in the room.

Lucia: "Duchess, you missed dinner; I will bring it to you. I don't want my Duchess to sleep hungry".

I smiled at her again and said in a funny, sarcastic way:

Priscilla: "Okay okay mom, sorry your daughter is being a bad girl".

Lucia felt sad.

Lucia: "Duchess don't joke with me; I see you as my family. I want to take care of you".

Then she turned her back to me while she was blushing.

Lucia: "I will bring your dinner and come back. Please stop reading! It's not good for your eyes. You've been focusing on the book all day".

Then she left the room, and I smiled. The thought of how Lucia loves me and treats me makes me very happy. I'm happy there is someone in this world who considers me as their family. I think about how this little boy felt about his mother while trying his best to do everything by himself to satisfy and help his mother in her life, he is same as Lucia is with me or I think Lucia is even doing more ...then Lucia came with the troll of food placing the dinner on the table. I ate quietly and then she helped me in changing my clothes to sleep. When I wanted to take the book to read a little while I laid in bed, Lucia took the book from my hands and put it back on the table telling me that I am supposed to sleep early. I gave up since she may take the book to her room. She left after covering me in blankets, I was looking to the window and it start suddenly raining strongly, and I slept.

Then I suddenly woke up finding myself standing in a strange place; it was all mixed up. It had a strange kitchen with strange things, an open sofa and a box    . I think that's what they called a television! from the novel I read. I felt so strange as if I'm in that so-called apartment and all those things called machines are around. It's exactly as the novel's description.

 then I looked over the window of the kitchen, when I saw little boy with a green hair and other little boys throwing eggs at him. He left and enter this build after a while, he opened the door to enter inside. All his face and clothes were dirty because of the eggs. He looked so sad , and I realized that he is the kid from the story. I went close by to him and tried to touch his face but I was just like a ghost. My hand went through his body, and he walked pass by my body! he sat by the corner crying so heavily. I went to him while placing my hand above my heart, and my eyes full of tears. I tried to hug him, but I couldn't since I was just a ghost. He then stood up and went to take a shower alone, cook and eat by himself, then wash the dishes. I was surprised that a 7-year-old kid did it by himself, while for me Lucia does everything even changing my clothes... what a life for this kid to suffer by doing everything by himself 

...then he turned on the television and started to watch a person standing on a stage telling jokes .. even I didn't understand those jokes but the kid was laughing and seems very happy when he was watching him. I felt happy watching him laughing, it was tickling my heart with joy. I sat in front of him at the table watching his cute face and smiling, seeing his happy, pure eyes. And his smile made my whole heart melt, so I tried to touch his angel face while he was smiling.

then he went to his bed to sleep. I sat next to him in bed while he was sleeping then I heard a door opening and a woman crying. The little boy woke up from the crying sounds and went to see who it was, but then suddenly I woke up in my bed... it was the morning and my body was very heavy. I was thinking about what I saw, wondering if it was a dream or reality, then Lucia entered, and she gave me a warm bath and prepared me for breakfast. I went down as always, and we ate and left. I finally went back to my room to continue reading in my sofa...

"the boy went to check what that sound was. It was his mother bleeding all over her body. She had lots of injures, big and deep cuts and she could hardly walk. The boy went to her, running, holding her, crying, trying to help her. Suddenly, a man behind her pushed her. He was her ex-boyfriend. Unluckily he was a mafia boss, and behind him were a lot of his men with weapons"

I opened my eyes while reading those lines, and I continued reading with a shaking body and the conversation in those parts were the worst. When I read about the mother's death and how the boy got a mental issue after seeing the murdering of his mother in front of his eyes then than he supposed to cry he didn't cry, he was laughing instead of crying got a mental problem and I was reading the part after the boy got stabbed, then went to the hospital...

"knock knock"

Lucia entered the bedroom and saw me in this horrible situation. She ran to me pulling the book and touching me saying

Lucia: "Duchess what is happening?! Why are you crying and shaking? Tell me is there anything dangerous happening?"

Then after 3 minutes passed, I woke up from my shock and said while wiping my tears

Priscilla: "I'm sorry Lucia, I was just reading a sad novel..."

Lucia: "Oh duchess don't make me scared like that, and what are you reading? This novel is taking your mind away and you are not feeling the time. You are reading in the dark"

I looked around, and just now I noticed the room is dark and the moon light which light it as usual, BUT HOW I SWEAR I ONLY READ THOSE LINES AND TIME PASSED LIKE THAT FAST HOW...I was wondering what magic does this book has to move time fast in my world just by reading LINES! then Lucia pulled my hands and made me stand

Lucia:" its dinner time Duchess"

Priscilla:" Oki I'm going to dinner"

Then I went to dinner with all my family as they were sitting and eating. While they were eating, I was rolling the spoon in the soup as my mind was busy on the story and my family started looking at me curiously

Father: "Priscilla, the soup is not a game to play in... it not etiquette to play in your food"

I looked at my father but wasn't paying attention to what he said, and I answered

Priscilla: "oh sorry father I didn't hear what you said!"

They looked wondering, what was in my mind to answer like that. Then I started to eat just to make them stop looking at me.
