-Chapter 21-
~Arabella~
We are sitting in the limo, waiting til we can go out onto the red carpet and to the runway show.
"Are you ready?" Mia asks me
"I was born ready!" I say excitedly
"Weres Amber?" Mia asked me "Miss.I-Have-To-Have-My-Own-Limo"
"That's just because she has to be here earl-" I start
"Earlier. Yeah, yeah, I get it." Mia rolls her eyes
Then the door opens and we are escorted out of the limo by Jim and Bob, Ambers "special occasion" body guards.
The red carpet was easy. You smile and wave and act like nothing is wrong in the world, like starvation, or wars, or your own inside battles.
It isn't until you get back stage that it's chaos. We were lead from the red carpet thru to back stage. The most terrifying place in a fashion runway show. Back Stage. We were automatically put to work, helping Amber. Making hair styling choices, last minute fixes, everything, from top to bottom.
Until Amber pulled us out unto the runway to make the opening speech.
The three of us were met by lights and people.
"Good evening everyone!" Amber smiles "tonight I am excited to share with you the "Forever Young" Autumn collection!"
The crowd roars and Amber grins wider, I knew she lived for this kinda stuff.
"But, I am just excited to introduce my Arabella Rutter and Amelia Roadline!" Me and Mia step forward and Amber continues "these girls have helped me with my line for many years, but are finally old enough to be considered my "apprentices" and be recognized. Both of them have many talents I can see them bringing to the fashion world and I am so excited that I get to introduce them to the public eye myself!"
The lights dim "Let the show begin!"
It was two hours of pure joy and proudness as the models came and left the stage in our fabric dreams
When the shows was over, all the models lined up on the runway, and we returned up there with theme. As we walked up, the crowd rose to their feet.
Amber said the closing words "thank you for your continued support! We are pleased you like the show! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!"
We smiled and waved, then followed Amber off the stage. Being whisked away to exit, I knew we were going to be questioned.
The red carpet was swarming with reporters, one man blocked us from going any father with his cameras
"Hello, now I heard you've been helping for quite some time?" The man asks
"Yes." I nod
"Isn't that plagiarizing? Taking someone's works, as has been taking your designs?" He questions
"No, not if the creator allows it." I recall from a school lesson
"So you allow people to steal your ideas?" The man puts the microphone to me again
"Not normally, no. But these designs were designed for Forever Young, even if we were not 'working' for ..." I reply
"Now, do you plan to keep working with Forever Young?" He says
"If our future plans allow, I sure hope." I slightly laugh
"And what future plans would be?" He seems curious now
"We've been excepted into Frobisher Academy, in Liverpool." Mia tells the reporter
"How will you be able to work for at a boarding school, in Liverpool, no less." The man interrogates
"Well, with today's technology, almost anything is possible, face-to-face technology is more advanced than ever and I'm convinced we could work over those amazing option, drawing designs and choosing fabrics is an easy thing we can accomplish. If you remember, Oxford and Liverpool are not to far apart, an hour at max, I am sure we could transport finished products quite easily." I explain nod
"Thank you." He nods and backs up
Everyone starts basically jumping over the velvet ropes at me and Mia, trying to get a single word, we smile and wave and say goodbye before Jim and Bob push us into the limo.
I must've fallen asleep and Daddy must've carried me in cause next thing, I'm waking up with a gasp.
I sit up and look around me.
I'm still at home, in my own bed, all my make up from the previous night is off and my hair is up in a bun.
I'm not at Anubis, I am not playing with a Anubis dollhouse as a child, I am not being warned by the old lady I vaguely remember being in my Childhood dreams.
I am safe, but I have a feeling that's gonna change.
A/N Happy to Dramatic in a snap! Mahahahahha! Why was Arabella having strange dreams? Do you think she's correct about not being safe? Sorry bout this chapter being late! But, tell me your thought! ✌️.
