Chapter 5
*At home* "Im back!" I called as I walked through the front door.
Dad came out of the kitchen. "Hi, Nessa." He said & smiled warmly.
"Hi dad", I said simply.
"Come in the dining room dear, I need to talk with you and your sister",he said. I nodded & sat down at our long,oval shaped table. Dad and Lizzie entered the room and sat down. " Girls I need to give you something.",he said ,his voice sounding serious. We both nodded and continued to stare at him.
He reached down pulled out two small,nicely decorated boxes,and handed them to us. When I opened mine, it played a soft tune that I didn't recognize,but liked.
What shocked me the most, was the picture of my family when Lizzie and I were just born. I saw my dads loving smile,and I saw my moms soft brown eyes that were red from her happy tears, dad had once told me,I picked up my new picture and held it close to my heart. "Thank you dad" I said as I got up to hug him.I could feel warm tears stream down my face. When we pulled away, he used his thumb to wipe away my tears. "Your welcome".
After that I went upstairs to to take a shower and get ready for bed. The warmth of water was like a heaven on earth. After i washed myself and changed into my black nightgown, I went to the bathroom mirror to put my hair in braids and brush my teeth.
Before i turned off my lamp, I grabbed a rectangle shaped picture frame from my closet. I walked swiftly across the room and grabbed my new picture. Carefully as not to bend the edges, I placed it neatly in the frame.I then placed it on my nightstand and crawled into bed.
"Here i come Duel Academy". I said as I drifted in to a deep slumber.
