A SECRET HOUSE

1243 Words
For a moment i was lost in a daze, what exactly was going on? i wish there was someone to answer me but unfortunately even those on screen couldn't because they probably were looking for me among other things judging from how they had overturned my room severally as i was wondering what to do, i saw a sign of an alarm at the bottom of the screen, so i decided to press probably it gonna bring me help. When i did my jaw almost dropped for a hundredth time, another door opened and it was blinking red, i went closer to check and a voice startled me however it was a familiar voice, i got in calling mum only to realize it was her voice not her in person, the voice continued to give me instructions, "Angelica darling, i know this is all confusing and if you have discovered this, it means you are in danger and none of us is here with you but don't be afraid, we will first take you to a safe place where everything is ready for you" what? were they aware they were to leave me? is this like those drills i see in the movies where they check ones alertness, preparedness and bravery? well if its those am game, i loved challenges. After diverting a bit from what was happening i came back to reality and i heard, " the security system will be activated by your finger prints touch anywhere on the wall to activate it" now that seemed like an adventure and i did exactly that and to my surprise the room lit well it was bigger than i thought and a car Ferrari model was there, yes i knew so much about cars and football courtesy of my brothers, i went nearer the car to admire it, when i touch it i heard it unlock the doors, so i opened and got in, however it was different from the ordinary vehicles, it didn't have a steering wheel anyway how was i to drive if it had? i was just ten, this was well thought of and the seat was one, which was literally a bed. I got in and the voice continued, " darling i know you are exhausted press the knob beneath the bed, you will find some pajamas, change into them they are more comfortable" i did this and a drawer appeared with several sizes of pajamas some smaller and others way bigger, even my sisters could fit in them, so i settled for the one that was my size, " by now you must be changed, now press the button on your right" i did and a tiny table appeared, " press the button on your left" i did and snacks appeared, i was operating as if i was in a dream because non of this seemed real, how rich exactly were we? had my parents predicted a day like today and if so why and who wanted to harm us? Mums' voice brought me back to reality " she told me, baby i want you to eat, these are healthy snacks, then drink juice once you are done get in bed and press the button on the left" i did as instructed and after getting in bed and pressing the button, there appeared "bed belts" which fastened me in place though not tightly but firmly, then the bed started rocking slowly and there was some soothing instrumental playing somewhere in the background, before long i was fast asleep. When i woke up i thought i was in my room and all i had was just a terrible nightmare, however looking more closer, this bedroom was a little bit different though it needed loads of observation which i was good at, i was actually in bed just that it faced different direction, i slowly got up trying to figure out what was going on, rather where was this place, as i was lost in my thoughts i touched the bed side lamp which looked more sophisticated than the other in my old room and again mums voice was on " good morning darling, you must have been tired, you slept the entire afternoon all through the night i didn't want to disturb your beauty sleep" i started wondering is mum watching me from somewhere? why are they hiding yet they can see me? am the only one who couldn't see them but again the voice interrupted me again bringing me back to reality, " Angelica, i want you to listen to me carefully, all this happening may confuse you but we were ready for such, therefore you will see some various changes, you wont be able to see us for sometime but everything is in order, you will continue with your homeschooling, this house is exactly as our old house, however you are in a different location but it has been equipped with everything that can last up-to five years, however we will be re-united soon" wait a minute, did i hear five years? what if they are gone for all those years or even more? i started feeling scared and lonely, tears were threatening to fall anytime, however instructions continued " just outside your room there is a red button, once you press it, everything will be activated, the only difference you will experience is in this house you will find more robots, remember the one your brothers kept engaging you with and like the one that used to take you through classes when we weren't available? the only difference here they are more and they will assist you in all areas, Angelica my baby, you know we love you so much, i promise this wont last long but before we re-unite, i want you to be strong and brave as always, we love you so much and you remain our precious great darling, now go on and press the button outside your room, bye for now my beautiful, precious hunny bunny" with that the voice was silent again. So i slowly got out of bed and pressed the button as instructed and i heard some movements but i wasn't scared because "mum" had prepared me about the presence of more robots than we had in our old house, that was one reason we didn't have house-helps and the other reason mum insisted it was important to learn some basic chores that's why cooking, dishes, making beds and  ironing were duties not for the robots but they used to alternate in doing them, so far had learnt how to do dishes and i loved doing it. I thought of first going through the entire house though it looked just like our other house, so it was more of just checking it out but before i could make a step, i heard one of my sister's voice call for me from downstairs as she used to whenever i woke up, i don't know how she used to tell that am up since i didn't have a consistent waking up time and i loved morning sleep, now here i was life seemed to go back to normal "wakie wakie come downstairs for your power breakfast, its so yummy delicious, fantastic and made for just our Angelica" hearing that i was so excited and raced down stairs, yes the breakfast was on the table but my sister wasn't there, who made the breakfast?
