A/N: yes I'm back for more:) if you like it or not... wait if you don't
like it the why in the world are you still here?
Mandi hurried to the mansion that was just five houses away from her friends but at the moment it seemed to be ten or twenty. She felt bad for not replying to Leia but she knew she had to conserve all her energy to get her home quickly otherwise she'd be in trouble for not going to get her step-nieces who she detested. They weren't hers so why did she have to get them? That was a parent's responsibility wasn't it?
She saw it in front of her... the mansion she was forced to call home. It was right there, within a minute she'd be at the front door and safe from getting the brats from that nightmare daycare and horror elementary school. She just barely got into the house when the old grandfather clock by the door chimed for 2:55 which was when Alisa had to be picked up from her daycare.
"I'm home!!" Mandi yelled as loudly as she could
"Mandi must you yell so loudly? You'll wake your uncle and then he'll be mad at you but of course you never listen to me do you?" Her stepmother asked her rudely
"Sorry I just wanted to tell you I'm home so you won't worry." She said sweetly 'Like you'd worry anyways' she thought
"Well I have to go get Alisa then Matty since us adults have important things to do." On her way out her stepmother gave her a dirty look.
'Excuse me? Who takes care of Matty and Alisa more? You or me... well the answer is me but hey like you'd know that in your perfect little world where your life is perfect.' She thought although she felt like screaming it out as loud as she could.
"Mandi, sweetheart your home!" Her father yelled.
"Yes dad I'm home." She smiled lightly.
"Well can you come here for a second? I need to talk to you." He sounded worried
"Sure dad one second." She put her bag down in the huge hallway and ran up the long and wide flight of stairs.
She paused for a second at the top to look down over the balcony the top made and smile. It looked like a ball room from where she was standing and the fact that it had a crystal chandelier made her little fantasy seem more real. It reminded the blond of Jareth's ballroom in a way. After a few seconds she turned and ran to her father and stepmother's room.
When she got into the room she saw her father's black leather suitcase lying open on the flowered sheets of his bed.
"Dad why is your suitcase packed? Are you going away?" Mandi asked him quickly
"Well Mandi your stepmother, your aunt and uncle and I were wondering if you could take care of those little angel nieces of yours while we go away for two days." He explained.
"What? Two days??!!! Why... where?" She felt so angry with him.
"It's a business trip Mandi and I can't take children along with me so someone has to stay home with them. Besides your stepmother and aunt need a break from looking after the girls." He told her.
'A break from watching the girls?!!?? I'm the one who watches them!!' she thought furiously
"And we have to leave today so we assumed that you'd watch the girls since they look up to you so much." He told her putting some other things in the suitcase then zipping it up.
"Well what about going to Leia's tomorrow? I already said I would and she's expecting me to. She cancelled her plans with her cousin Sylvia so I could come over!" She screamed at him.
"Well I guess you'll have to either cancel, bring your nieces with you, or invite her here instead. Now I must hurry up and finish getting ready because we have to leave as soon as everything's set." He said not looking at Mandi as he walked over to the closet and opened the doors getting her stepmother's packed suitcase out.
"What?!!?? You said I wouldn't have to baby-sit them for a while after last Friday!!! You're lying to me!" She yelled.
"Mandi I'm sorry but I was just told at two o'clock today that I had to go on the trip and no one can take the girls on such short notice. If someone could take them I'd leave them there instead of with you but you are their aunt and I expect you to care for them from time to time for me and all of the adults in this house!" He told her calmly knowing there was no way for her to get out of this.
"Whatever. I'm going in my room so when Leia comes over tell her where I am." With that Mandi turned and left the room and ran down the hall and up the second and third flights of stairs to the attic where her room was. (A/N: LOTS of stairs to go up eh? Meh she'd be use to it after living up there since she was 5 which was when her mom died and her evil stepmother came!) When she got up there she looked around at the small hallway that led to her room and her guestroom (A/N: yes there's a room next to her's that's for her guests. If any friends sleepover that's where they go.). Mandi sighed and walked over to her door, which was only five steps from the stairs, but if you turned right there was her guestroom. She went through her bag and looked for her keys. She found them in her pencil case and took them out finding the ones for the three locks on her bedroom door. When she finally got the door unlocked she went in.
"Finally alone in my own space where I'm safe from those brats and everyone else in this world." She turned on her light saying that and looked around her room.
Her walls were painted a deep green-blue color with fantasy stuff everywhere. She even had all of the songs from the labyrinth saved onto the computer that sat in one of the four corners of her huge room. Her room was atleast twice the size of Leia's if not more. Her only source of light in the room was one lamp that sat next to the door on a nightstand. The room was pretty bare but it was her's all the same. Mandi's double bed sat against the wall opposite the door and was covered by silky, golden coloured sheets and a heavy dark blue comforter that was covered in stars and suns and moons. She walked quickly over to her bed and flopped down on it sadly.
A/N: Well that's all for this chappy hope you all review for me.
