Chapter 2

With all her suitcases packed Alys placed them in her cars trunk, right next to Risa's suitcases, for tomorrow morning for Berlin. Everything was ready and now Alys had to leave a message for her uncle/father to know she's out of town until Monday. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she went inside the house to make some lemonade to quench her thirst. Going into the kitchen, Alys grabbed the ingredients needed to make the drink. Six lemons, the liquid measuring cup, sugar and a clear pitcher. Alys measured the exact amount and poured it into the pitcher. Stirred it and add lemon slices as garnish. Walking over to one of cabinets and grabbed a cup. Filled it with ice and the lemonade and took a tentative sip.

"Yum! This is good," she said.

Alys placed the filled-up pitcher in the back of the fridge and went to her room. The room wasn't that big like master bedroom or Una's room but it was significant for Alys. Her twin bed was in the middle of the room and the comforter was light blue with a easter lily flower petals being carried by the wind. Her closet was too small, her clothes wouldn't fit so they're at Risa's house, she had a small rug on the wooden floor that you had to wear slippers on because of the wood was unfurnished, a medium-small dresser at the end of bed with a marble vase on top. Alys walked towards her bed and flopped down with a sigh. Her head space was filled with her uncle/father told her earlier today. she was tired of them disrupting in her personal life.

"Like as if they care about privacy, " she melancholic chuckled.

Alys turned to lay on her back and stared at the ceiling with a confused glare. She already knew that her uncle/father is on a business with Aunt Etta and Una and won't be back until noon Friday. Sighing from disappointment Alys finally went to sleep praying the nightmares won't come over her mind.

It was 10 o'clock at night when Alys phone went off. She sluggishly got up from her terrible nightmare and let her legs hang from the left side of the bed, covering her eyes but the last image of her dream kept showing up every time. She sighed and uncovered her eyes. Getting up from her bed, Alys grabbed her keys and left the house to pick up Risa so they could leave.

"Alys, let me go back to sleep," Risa whined in the passenger seat.

Alys sighed and continued to drive towards the airport. "Risa, our flight leaves in 29 minutes and you get to sleep on the plane so be quiet," Alys scolded.

Risa pouted and went to back to sleep. Alys continued driving until they made it to Paris Orly Airport. She was already having hard time to get Risa out of the car, pulling/ carrying the cases and Risa, showing the attendant their tickets, going through the security and finding their seats.

"Ahhhhh, my god Risa. Your heavy," Alys let out a relieved groaned after glomped in her seat. Risa was still dozed off and the flight attendant was coming down but Alys stopped her to see if they had any sleeping meds before the plane took off.

In Paris

In the back seat of a black Mercedes-Maybach S600, our golden dragon Selendrile was on his PDA going over his schedule of the week and talking to his mother at the same time.

"Selendrile honey, we only thought of you while making this decision," she explained.

"When you meant we was I in part of the decision making?" Selendrile said effervescently.

He wasn't really in a good mood since the discussion with Atherton for being an idiot for not getting any information on his betrothed and an employee made a very big mistake in a account for a big client so his attitude was on the high. His mother ignored him and went on babbling about nothing since Selendrile tuned her out.

Ding-ping.

His PDA message alarm went off. He slide down his opened document and tapped on the message. It was from Atherton, it read;

'Gower isn't answering any of my messages about your betrothed.'

'Idiot, why do I have useless people working for me," Selendrile thought.

He sent Atherton a message and stared out the window watching buildings pass by at a fast rate. Selendrile closed his eyes and breathed in and out to calm down from the upcoming tension in his body. All he wanted to do now was go home, eat and get some well deserved sleep. He closed his eyes one more time and listened to the peaceful wind blowing a soft whispering melody. His mind was clearing up from the pound of glop from work and let the wind calm him down until a very familiar voice disturbed him.

"Selendrile, are you still there?" his mother asked.

'Damn, I forgot all about mother.'

"Yes mother, I'm still here. Something just crossed my mind for a minute so what were you talking about again," Selendrile replied grudgingly.

"I want you to meet me at Jo. so we can get you a new outfit for you consultation with your betrothed tomorrow," she squealed with joy.

Selendrile rolled his eyes at his overexcited mother and told the driver the changed route, said goodbye to his mother and started rubbing his temples for the headache that he will receive from being around his mother really soon.

"So long to sleep," Selendrile mumbled.

AN:/ Sorry for the shortness guys but don't worry the meeting with Selendrile and his mom will be in the next chapter so will Gower and his family with Atherton.
