Chapter 2: A New Life
Pan placed her elbow on the side of the door, and looked out the window of the car. They were driving in the country side. Mrs Banks looked back at Pan, who had a frown on her face.
"Pan?" She called.
Pan looked at her. "Yes, Ma'am?"
"Just so you know… You and our other servant will be the only ones at the mansion. Here are the rules: You will be educated every day at 9am sharp. Breakfast shall be at 8am. Your work begins promptly at 1pm. Then dinner will be served at 8:30pm, and lastly curfew is at 10pm. Do you understand?"
Pan looked at her with a shocked expression. That was a lot to remember. "Y-Yes, Ma'am."
"Emily, don't be so strict with her right off the bat." Mr Banks told her before looking at Pan with a soft smile. "So Pan, how old are you?"
"I'm seven, Sir." Pan answered.
Their eyes widened at the revelation. "You're seven?"
Pan nodded. "Yes."
"But the girl said you were the strongest one at William's." Mrs Banks said.
Pan sat up and looked at them curiously. "Yeah… I'm the strongest one, but if you don't mind me asking, what little girl?"
"Oh, she was the teenager with the blue eyes and long hair." Mr Banks informed. "Without her help we would have never known you were the strongest, and we never would have taken you."
Shanice, Pan thought sadly. How could you?
Pan felt betrayed. She was crushed that someone she loved would sell her out. Shanice was like her older sister and best friend. How could she do something so cruel?
"Here we are." Emily Banks announced, snapping Pan from her deep thoughts. Pan sniffed sadly before shutting her eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. She clenched her hands into fists, and wiped her eyes roughly before taking a glance at the mansion. It was kind of bigger than William's along with more windows. She could see a small garden in the back, and a doorway that was covered in flowers. Maybe staying here wouldn't be too bad.

Gina continued to run as fast as she could, but the winds were starting to pick up and dark clouds were gathering in the sky. A loud thunderclap made her stop for a second before looking up.
"Gina!" She heard Jackson calling out. "Gina!"
Gina ran back to the sound of his voice. She saw him standing on the top of a hill with an umbrella in his hand. Gina stared at him and ran right to him. He wrapped an arm around her and gave a sad look.
"Jackson, what happened?" Gina questioned him as the rain began to pour; she stood closer to him under the umbrella.
"They took her. The family took Pan as their new servant."
Gina had a shocked look on her face and tears in her eyes. "What? Why?"
"I don't know. They just left." He informed her. "You were about to go find her parents weren't you?"
Gina nodded. "I had a feeling they were going to take her, so I tried to go meet them."
"Well the weather is supposed to be like this for a week. We could do it when it gets better... I promise." He told her, leading her back to the house.

Shanice ran inside a closet and curled into a ball. She was crying her eyes out. It was all her fault Pan was gone. If she wasn't so mean and hateful about Pan, she wouldn't be like this. She should have just told them where the house was, and let them be. They should have taken her instead.
The closet door opened and Shanice adjusted her eyes to see who it was. It was Shane, and his eyes were still wet from tears. He came in, shut the closet door, and sat in front of Shanice.
"Shane, I…"
"What did you do?" He interrupted. His voice was very serious.
"I-I told them that Pan was the strongest one here." Shanice confessed softly.
"Why, Shanice? What did Pan ever do-?" He asked in surprise.
"I was jealous!" Shanice cut him off loudly. "I was jealous that she was so much better than me at everything! She was smart, strong, beautiful and even nice. I heard that Mr William thought of adopting her! I hated it! I couldn't stand it anymore, so when they asked me where the house was. I asked them if they were coming to get another worker. They said yes, and I told them about Pan. I thought it would make me feel better, but it's killing me instead."
Shane could only look at her in shock. What kind of person sells a friend out? Pan wasn't even a friend, but like another sister.
"Shanice…? How could you?" Shane shook his head and scowled.
"I didn't mean for this to happen. I-"
"No." Shane cut her off while standing up. He looked down at her with anger written all over his face. "Pan has been nothing but nice to you. She treated you like an older sister, and loved you, but you go behind her back and do this! That is just wrong, Shanice. How can I even call you my sister?"
He was about to walk out when Shanice stood up and grabbed his hand. Shane shook her off, and Shanice felt more tears gather in her eyes… "Shane?"
"You should be ashamed of yourself. I don't think I could ever forgive you, but you should at least tell mama and papa the real reason why she was taken." Shane stated before opening the door, and slamming it after he walked out.
Shanice slid against the wall and put her head to her knees as she continued to cry with guilt. Shane was so right….She should be ashamed.
