Dreams have been hunting me since the beginning, the darkness it's scary, despair and fear is the only thing that I can feel. Even in this darkness the crimson colored liquid wins over the darkness of the place. A distant voice was talking to me as my sight is definitely blurry.
Could this really be just a dream or is it real. As I tried to move but my body is not cooperating with me. I felt cold and realize my back hits the ground even though my body was thrown violently I feel no pain I feel so numb…
I was lying on the ground weakly as I felt another presence someone besides me. I make an effort to open m eyes and took a glance. Some tears where falling above as I thought it was a rain but instead I found a girl.
While being held by a girl wearing in a white dress covered with blood. "Why, why are you crying?" I asked the girl in a very faint voice.
"Why are you crying?" I asked again as I reach out to her face to wipe the tears away
The girl in white was saying something while crying but I couldn't hear it. Then my vision began to blur.
My eyes shot open, tears started streaming down my face. My hands gripped my body as I try to calm myself.
"That dream again" I whisper to myself as I felt fear over my body. It was a bright sunny day as the rays of the sun seems to shine over my room even thought the weather was perfect but after having that dream I wasn't able to enjoy the weather. This dreams never ends I'm pretty sure after this day as soon as the night comes I'll be dreaming it again.
As I got off my bed, convincing myself it was all just a bad dream, it's not a big deal besides there are things I need to do today. I force myself a smile and started walking to the bathroom. After taking a bath I went to the dressing room. I open the cabinet and trying to pick a dress to wear.
I had to admit picking a dress to wear takes time. Then finally I decided what to wear. I picked a light blue laced long dress decorated with lots of frills and ribbons. I took a final glance at myself wearing the dress I picked. Suddenly I heard a knock, a voice calling my name and asking me to go outside.
"Miss Chloe, please come out already. Duchess Cheryl and Duke Barma is already waiting for you at the dining area, they want to tell you something" a demanding voice starts to speak I'm pretty sure that the one shouting was the head of the servant of course I can never forget her, she was very strict from the beginning.
"Alright then, please go ahead. I'll follow up" I replied fixing my dress while looking myself at the mirror
Rufus Barma was one of the kind people who adopted me when I was found in an old abandon house. They said I was the only person found in that place. They didn't know where my family is, to be honest I don't even know my real name. I have no memories of my past. I don't know what my mother or father looks like, I don't even know if I have a brother or a sister. My past was just a big blur to me giving me such an unclear picture.
When they found me I was in the state of trauma that makes me forget all my memories of the past. I was really lucky Mr. Rufus along with Ms. Shelly and Ms. Cheryl found me. They treat me as their real a family member but they keep the event a secret because Pandora and the rest of the dukedoms will be questioning them. Ms. Shelly was the one who gave me the name Chloe. They help me recovered and I'm really thankful to them.
Then the servant was already gone. I quickly braided a part of my pink messy hair and the rest was just being brushed.
I ran outside my room, passing a long hallway, going down the stair, turning right and then finally I arrived. The servant dressed in their black dress and white ruffled uniform greeted and open the door for me.
The cheerful sunlight dominates the whole room as it golden rays were inside the place. I saw Rufus-kun and Cheryl-sama sitting at the table waiting for me. I greeted them with my best smile
"Good morning Cheryl-sama and Rufus-kun" both of them greeted me back.
"Chloe-san we've been waiting here for you for eternity" Rufus teasing me. I was about to say something when Cheryl-sama interrupted
"You're starting a fight again aren't you, Rufus-kun? "the lady who was in a wheel chair gave a big scary smile to the red haired man who was seating in front of her which was quite alarming for him and quickly apologize to me and saying it was just a joke.
Both Duchess Cheryl and I look at each other for a while and laugh at him.
After the lively chat we came down to a serious discussion.
Cheryl asked with worry face "Chloe dear are you sure you're going to join Pandora?"
"Yes, I'm sure Cheryl-sama I wanted to repay all your kindness you had given to me by helping you at the Pandora". I answered her as I look straight into her eyes.
"But how about your career?" a concerned look was still present at her.
"I already quit it. After all each and every one of us should make some sacrifices" I pointed at.
"Working at Pandora wouldn't be that easy. Many people already died because of that job. Are you willing to risk your life for that?" Rufus added.
I said with a peaceful smile "I already knew that. It's alright, I'll be fine. I can take care of myself. In fact, this is the way I can help you. I know both of you and Shelly-sama have many problems, besides Shelly-sama is not in the right condition to work in Pandora anymore. So I'll be the one who will continue" I reassure.
Cheryl held my hands and smiled "Oh dear! I hate to be a part of you but if there is no stopping then I've got no choice but to let you go". She gave the official symbol for Pandora…
"Your uniform is ready. You'll be working under me. For your first mission I would like you observe the illegal contractor named Oz Bezarius. You will help Cheryl's granddaughter Sharon. All your things are already in Sharon's house. And remember she knows nothing about except your name. She doesn't know about the secret. So be careful. That girl will be questioning you a lot if you tell her our secret. Well then, that's all. They're already expecting you. You'll be going now" The red haired Duke informed me.
"Yes, I'll be keeping that secret. Well then good bye" while giving him a bow as a sign of respect.
"Please be careful and stay alive we will be watching you." Rufus whispered
I gave him and Ms. Cheryl one last smile and a hug before I leave.
I sat in the carriage, staring out the window to admire the scenery passing around me.
After an hour of sitting in the carriage, I finally arrive at the Reinsworth mansion.
The moment I went down the carriage I saw a light brown haired girl standing with a friendly smile greeted me and at the right side of the young lady was a white hair man wearing a white and purple dress with a doll at his shoulder
She asked "Are you miss Chloe-san the new member of Pandora?"
I gave her a courteous bow and said "Yes, I'm Chloe Stern the newest member of Pandora. I work under Mr. Rufus Barma. I'm the one who will assist you."
The beautiful young lady introduced herself "I'm Sharon Reinsworth, the daughter of the head of the Rainsworth house, this is Xerxes Break, my loyal servant he is a member of Pandora like you".
The white man's eye widened and tries to approach Chloe. "Is this the new member of Pandora that Rufus Barma assigns to help us, Ojou-sama? ~" covering his mouth with his sleeves.
"I'm sorry if I didn't meet your expectation but I assure you, I'll give all my best in helping you" I said to him with a smile.
"Oh no! It's not like that Chloe-san we don't think of that. I'm sorry for what Break said, don't worry I'll teach him some manners now". As the young lady draw a huge metallic fan slapping it at break, leaving him unconscious on the ground.
I asked with a worry voice "are you sure his going to be alright?"
She gave me a big smiled and grab my hand "don't worry his going to be fine. Now, now I want to talk with you at my garden while having some tea".
Hehehe… I tried rewriting chapter one well there's only a slight change… or you can hardly notice it…:0…
