Fallen for You

Chapter 4- Home

As I flew though the cloud, swishing across the skies. Witnessing a bird’s view of all the twinkling lights of the nightlife and people that looked like dots and builddings that were like minitures of scale models. Flying was always a thrill for me. Then I came across our house which was a mansion distant near the greens of the suburbs pf the city. I landed in our patio where the butler stood by for my arrival.

/My existence as a Nelphilm.

It wasn’t a secret, to our household and all that swore the secrecy and loyalty to the Angelius Empire of my lineage.

They have served us for decades and who ever spoke about it are immediately killed. It was a sacred oath. To speak of it was blasphemy.

/“Good evening, your liege” he greeted and escorted me inside.

"is mother home?"

"No, miss. She had gone to attend urgent business this evening."

I nodded as the butler continued to speak

“Would a bath interest you, madam?”

“LUkewarm not too hot.”

He excused himself and I began to go several steps of our grand carpeted marble staircase with wooden oak railing.

A few steps, I felt nausea and dizziness of that dreaded apple juice that i consumed in my system That had more alcohol content than i can handle.

/ my vision cleared to qhite as i hear faint whispers of a person. It was Nedia my lady-in waiting that was also my personal headmaid. “Good heavens, someone call the Dr Haussaf”. no one moved in shock. “Now!” Nedia yelled to their attention. And they picked up pace to call the family doctor to tend to me.

Soon the maids are with the Dr. Haussaf, and he instructed them to bring a basin of warm water and clean damp towel to soothe the ache. He brings out his stethoscope and check my blood pressure and heart rate.

“Here drink this.”

“Whats that?”

“it is a herb that can medicate your hangover for tomorrow and can reduce fatigue”

Soon as I heard that and gulped it down the bitter liquid that tasted like grass and fell asleep in the hands of my butler.

/'mademioselle'

“mademioselle

someone is calling for me. Who is it? as I feel the gentle heat of sun ray block my eyes. I wrinkle them due to the irritation. I blink several times till I see...

/i see a blurry vision of other maids coming to my aid. My eyes are weary and heavy that I was about to shut them. but i heard the chirping birds by my window sill and the bright sunshine blinding my line of sight as i open my eyes. It was morning. TTime to get up, I wore my slippers and walked outside my room wearing my night robe under my night gown.

/”Good morning, my liege.”

“Her highness will be joining you this morning for breakfast”

“HUh?” I was still in a daze as to what he said didnt quite stay with me and he then repeated himself and i simply nodded. “Oh.” That was all I could musteer to say since the medication that was given to me had little to no effect as my hea was still pounding like my head had its own heartbeat.

As for my mom that was refered that i would be dining with. IT didnt matter much since she was always busy just like my father. BUt MY parent told me that as soon as I graduate high school they wont support me anymore because they dont want me depending on them twenty four seven like a spoiled brat.

I wouldnt say that agree with them cause this lifestyle with the golden spoon was what i was born into accostoming. BUt I too was a bit scared but some part of me wants that kind of freedom to fly of my ‘parent’s beautiful nest that i am super blessed with. I also started to hunt for available parttime job online and in newspapers.

/breakfast chat with mom

as i wen tto thte dinig table, a familiar middle aged woman in a peach pink cotton night robe was buttering her toast and offered me one.

“I heard from the maids you collapsed and smelled of alcohol”

Busted.

“I can explain.”

“Fine. Explain.”

as i find for words to speak my mind went blank and even if i answered it feels like whining like a kid. So I held my tongue

“I’m sorry mother” I spoke in a small and quite mannered voice that only she can hear.

/”I’m done eating, Demetry. ”

“I have other things to attend to daughter, Eric will fetch you to school with our Rolls Royce to school”

“Thank you mother”

I felt like a robot saying and not being able to speak what i want with my mother. MY relationship with my mother is very strange or perhaps very unusual since she is a very work oriented person she kinds of forget that I am not her colleague but her daughter. I envied people who are so close to their mother that they oke around and talk freely to them like a sibling. A heartwarming thing.

limo ride to school

/texting my classmates.

An incoming text notification pinged my phone as it started to buzz, vibrating inside my bag. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

[Where are u?-Erelah]

[I’m on my way to school.-Me]

[Hurry! the Mrs. Felicia is about to start]

I prodded the driver to pace up the speed cause i don't want to be late. Mrs Felicia was a strict teacher that wore pencil skirt and button down cream blouse with glasses to match of a horror teacher to others.She may seem strict but is a very genuine teacher that had knowledge in her field. I was her favorite student, since her subject is one of my favorites [English Literature]

As I reached my destination, I got out of the car and sped my way to Lakeside HIgh.

I am late.
