Chapter 1: Welcome to My(Weird)Life

My names Alice.

"Alice, come here please.", that person calling for me is my mom, Olivia," ALICE!".

"Coming!", This is kind of the middle of the story. See a week ago, aunty Grace came to town for a movie convention or something(I can never keep track).She likes social gatherings. I can't comprehend why, their so... social.

"Alice, can you come here please? Just for a second."

"I can't, mom needs me. Why not ask my older sister?"

"Because shes at music school for the summer."

The person I'm talking to now is my aunty, Grace. Shes in the kitchen, while moms on the third floor. Which means going up and down the stairs(which takes about twenty minutes), trying not to pass out. Ugh fun. "Yes, mom?"

"Oh good, I expected you two minutes ago."

You're on the third floor!, do you know how long it takes to get up here!?

"Anyways, I have a gift for you. Don't open it until you're certain you're alone."

"Um...ok...thanks. Aunty ne.."

Alice are you done yet? I still need you!"

"Coming!"

"Remember, don't open it especially if my sisters in the room."

I nodded like I understood any part of that unusual conversation.

"Yes aunty?", man I'm tired.

"Do you know when your fathers coming home?".

"Hes at a work conference in Panama. He won't be back until I start school again."

"Oh that's right, well sweety that's all I needed you for. You can go back to doing whatever."

Are you serious!? I might as well take a nap. Crap, my rooms on the second floor.

These stairs mock me, why can't we have an elevator installed? Their, on top of my bed, lay the present with a smaller package.

'Sorry, I forgot to give you this. Love Mom.' the letter read. Ok what gives? Its not my birthday and I'm getting presents. Hey, I'm alone, my doors shut, and I have no security cameras in my room. Sweet, I can open them.

I opened the small one first. Inside lay a trinket box that had a clover design on the cover. I opened it to reveal a black jeweled choker. The bigger package had a book of some kind. It was leather, black, and had a lock. Great, where did you hide the key mom?

"Surprise, Alice time to redecorate!" Each hand held a curtain that was the worst possible color, pink, and their floral. Oh God, do you know me at all?, "Alice, what are those?". Oh shit.
