A sunny morning,.
ahh, the fresh air, I really love this place.
I hope I can stay here for a bit longer, but,I have to do something, damn that woman!
"Miss?" the butler called. "Breakfast is served. And Madame is waiting for you in her room."
"Sure thing, tell her I'll be there, I'll just take a shower. Thanks." I said.
"Yes Miss." I heard a door close gently, and a cane clicking softly against the marble floor. Mr. Wilkins is really old, his 73rd birthday is near, and he's too old to be the butler. Since my father died 10 years ago, he said he doesn't want to leave this household. Says he'll serve us till his dying day.
Now that's not really necessary. He deserves rest, and he's been serving the Cezanne family for TOO long.
I sighed. I really don't want to go to that woman's room. I want to go outside.
I showered. Got dressed. Formal wear is a must, tsk, damn that woman, even the garments! I hate this!
Wearing a long, red silk dress, I went to that woman's room. I knocked at her door, waited for her reply.
"Come in." an icy voice said. I walked in, slightly scared of what might happen if she loses her mind today.
"You called?" I said, as I look around her room, I felt that dark aura again. A shiver ran down my spine, damn. What is this?
"Yes, I am expecting that report tonight. 9 PM. Sharp." she said, while sipping a cup of black-root tea. Eugh. What is that thing anyway?
"Affirmative. Anything else?" I waited for a while, nibbling my lower lip.
"Hmm.. Ah- yes, there is something I want you to do, but not for me." She said, taking a piece of gray paper on her side table.
"What is it then?" I said, looking at the piece of paper.
"I want you todeliver this letter to Councilor Fanheuil, he's been expecting my reply for a long time." she gave me the letter with a slight push of her hand. Geez, she's irritated, again. I grabbed the letter, then earned a glare.
"I'll be careful then, see ya later."I grinned at her when she gave another glare. "What? I'm not gonna lose this, don't worry."I went out of her room. Ate a piece of bread with butter, drank a cup of apple juice, and went out of the house.
I sighed, another day, another errand. Damn that woman. I better stop swearing, damn! x__x OK, I'll stop.
I walked for a few minutes, admiring the view. Blue sky, green grass and trees, flowers in their full bloom, gentle morning breeze, and our kind neighbors greeting each other a good morning. Ahh, this is life.
When the Councilor's house came into view, I gulped.I don't want to go in there, again. But I have to. Sighing, I went up the front steps, knocked, and waited for someone to open the door.
"Goodmorning miss, what can I do for you?" the butler asked, opening the door wider.
"Uhm, the Councilor? Is he here?"
"Oh- I'm sorry miss, he just left."
"Oh, when's he going to return?" damn, where did he go?! I don't want to leave the country!
"He went to Count Eliazar's place."
"And where is this so called Count Eliazar's place?" I asked, with a huff.
"Uhm, outside the cou-"
"That's it!" I ran down the steps. I'm NOT leaving the country to deliver this piece of shit!
Breathing heavily, I crossed the road, not caring if my dress gets dirty or something. I was going to cross the road again when I collided with someone.
"Watch it!" I snapped.
"Well, excuse me, miss red head, I have the right to walk, too, you know." the guy said.
I looked up, still annoyed at everything. A guy with blue hair and eyes was grinning at me, which infuriated me more. Fighting the urge to slap his face, I gave him a "ok-fine-cross-the-road look". Then I started walking again, trying to calm myself.
***************************************************************************************************************
Whoa, That girl's fiesty as hell. Oh well, not my type anyway.
I started to walk along the pathway again, thinking about many things, life.. well, thinking about one thing to be precise. Life.
Purpose.
Career?
Well, more on the purpose part. Why am I here? And why did I meet that red haired girl anyway? Why was she scowling? And why the heck am I thinking about it? O_o;
Enough.
I have to go to that Tower, well, that's what happened in my dream.
I'll go to the Tower, look beyond the horizon, and then what..? The
girl wasn't even in my dream, so, yeah..I have to go to the
Tower.
Walking faster, I looked up and spotted the Tower immediately. It was as big as hell. Complete with the markings and the bell-like structure on top of it.
Near the entrance, I stopped. It felt like winter. It was so cold. And there were few people walking this way, so, I'm alone, literally.I opened the door, found out that it was locked. The sign says "Sorry for the inconvenience, Under Repair". Damn! In my dream I was able to enter the Tower without any difficulties.
I sighed, then I sat on a big rock near the entrance. I was waiting for something to happen when it started to rain. So I ran off towards a huge tree, went under it and waited for the rain to stop.
