"Aah! help- someone help me!" the short person , maybe half my height ,sat in front me , her dark , teal , silk and short hair , hardly touching her shoulders but falling on her face as she cried and called for help , her uncalming ringing voice in my ear , just like any 6 year old.
It wasn't long before someone barged in the room , one of the maids , one of my maids.
"You-!"
her face didn't seem too happy , rather looked angry as she stared at the broken vase , which I broke and Luna which whom I pushed.
She ran to Luna and hugged her , picked her up and glared at me as she takes her steps , heading to the drawer that contained the bandages that my dad used to put on me when I hurt myself.
I heard her murmuring something..as she shoved my shoulder with her taller build and walked "This..-- I expected this but..-- she's-... obnoxious --.."
I couldn't quite hear it.. but it didn't seem so nice so maybe I tried not to hear it on purpose.
The mess was cleaned and Luna was better I guess.
But later on the maid told us to go into dad's room as he said so.
I used to watch him work in that room all the time and wonder what it was like inside.
I was really surprised I was able to enter it but Luna was there too , I wondered how could she enter it so easily.. but I didn't mind as I was happy.
Dad came home and head to that room which we were in , right away.
Closing the door behind him and sitting down on his desk's chair as we sat on the other side of the desk on smaller chairs , Luna and I.
"Haa.." That was all what came out of my dad's mouth at that moment but I knew that , that means he was annoyed and so I wanted to comfort him but just as I was moving from my seat.
"For f#ck's sake Shade"
I felt my body shudder from the cursing that came along my name and I looked at him.
"Get back into your seat?!" he said almost warningly.
But I slowly get back to my seat and my pace seemed to annoy him.
He takes a deep breath and looks at me more.. I guess.. gently now? but not as gentle as he used to before.
Before..
I bite my lips.
"You're- ha.." he looked like he was trying to lower his voice vocals before he spoke again.
"You're my oldest daughter , you cannot-.. you cannot just keep causing trouble Shade." he walks closer to me.
"You cannot keep causing me trouble , you're supposed to be the oldest and wisest , okay my love?"
Okay.. his words were gentle..
I look at him and nod.
"Answer me shade , alright?"
"Yes, dad.." I reply without smiling but he did-.
He smiled at me.
I guess that meant we were good.. okay.
I'm glad this didn't take as long as it did before.
Luna just sat there looking at me , ugh.. so annoying.
My dad took us to get ice-cream after and the girl still wouldn't budge the looking.
I mean I get it I'm good looking but live your life girl , we're eating ice-cream.
I look at my ice-cream cause it needed an apology.
At this point she should just give me hers.
Luna eventually started going to school with me , I was really known in school.
Not as her sister though , well I wasn't really her sister , was I?.
But people often compared our looks to each other.
Supposedly , people said I was way more prettier and if my dad didn't bring her with me to school everyday they'd think she was a fraud.
Even said many things about me being smarter.
They said- many meaningless things.
She didn't seem to care about them though.
Sometimes it almost made me so.. confused..
I didn't think she was ugly.
But they said she was..
I always had the attention but she had her own attention yet she was still giving it to me too..
Honestly I can see why my dad said I was smarter , hah , at least one thing made sense.
I think to myself as my dad was smiling while he used the ensheftor.
He was smiling.
As far as I knew about that ensheftor thing , that it connects people together , from all around kingdoms to exist , for important events , it was great but I wasn't allowed to use it and I didn't have my own I also was not interested , I think dad used it to flirt with women.
I think to myself as I eat my apple.
"My mom wouldn't like that.." I murmur to myself.
I immediately get flashbacks of something and it somewhat stings.
I start crying , tears streaming down my cheeks as I remember what happened 2 years ago , with my mom and her death , the bloody scene and everything..
I hear my dad sigh's.
"Why is it that you're crying right now , Shade?" he said it in a scolding tone .
I look at him , tears on my eyes.
"Ain't no one touched you , why are you crying?" he clenches his teeth at me.
"You stop crying . right now. or I'll give you a reason to cry , Shade."
I hear him and I try to stop my crying but I couldn't , it was just streaming out.
But eventually I was able to calm down a little.
"Speak." He almost cries.
I try to speak , wiping my tears ,"I- I just remembered mo-"
"Don't." he interrupts , his voice darkening and glared at me.
"Heck you can't do anything without making it all dramatic"
I couldn't speak again I guess.. I just found my way back to my room that I shared with my sister , well.. Luna.
The next week , on a Friday night.
My dad come's back home late.
I was a little excited because I saw how Luna was excited , well along everyone in the palace.
When he finally gets through the gates , everyone gathers windows and entrances , I wondered what was going on.
So I found my way between the maids to the window but what i saw was..
The biggest shock of my current position.
Dad walked in the gates in a suit , holding a woman that was dressed in all white.
Suddenly all the happy screams and shouts around me went silent.
I guess I was smart enough to know , that.. that was a wedding and my dad.. I quickly ran to my room that was empty.
I sit on the floor and hold my hands so tight against my aching..
"It-..it hurts..ngh-" I cry , not loudly but almost like I was about to vomit but..it was so thick.. and it's just there!-.
"oh..oh please , oh please , just make it-" tears streaming down my face as I refer for the pain , it was painful that I was holding it in a hope it would just lessen.
I held my chest so tight,
"please.. pleaas- ah.." I wanted to scream so I held my mouth as tight as I held my ache.
The next morning , that woman was sitting with us on breakfast
She was a weirdo..
She was all lovey dovey with my dad , It made me lose my appetite but also made me wonder if that's how he'd be probably be like if my mom was there..
But there was something I noticed , that woman had quite the similarities with the gir- child. that was siting in front me eating with us..
...
my eye's widen..
Okay..
After finishing our meal , well after they finished theirs.
That woman noticed that my food was still in the plate and spoke.
"Honey , why haven't you finished your food it'd be a waste."
My dad quickly cleared his throat and spoke.
"Uh.. Shade this is-"
Before he could finish , I found myself speaking bluntly.
"Is this Luna's mom?"
My dad , seems to have a moment of silence before speaking.
"That's correct , She's my wife too , make sure to treat each other well when I'm away.."
Wife
what was mom then..?
"I- I- I'm full" I Look at the woman and quickly take my steps to the garden after.
When I was in open air now , I came of notice of my trembling hands , I was always curious how does that work , after I pushed Luna once , that made her nose bleed and she started trembling.
I was awakened from my thoughts by the flowers in front of me , they were beautiful .
So I plucked one out and placed it in my hair.
It made me feel pretty.
It made me feel better..
my lips parted.. as it crossed my mind , a thought.
Was the flower happy that it helps me..?
I quickly took it out of my hair cause I knew I hurt her and placed it back into the soil.
It wasn't going to make it up but I tried..
