Night was upon them and the environment was as quiet as a cemetery. The lights were out as everyone was having a dream or two. There was no wind that night.

Morning came and those in the residence went on with their duties as if nothing had happened. The runaway had already gotten close to their destination. Even they had been normal, they would have taken a whole night plus half the day to get there on foot but they had their way. By the time, he family was serving breakfast, she was already there.

And as she had earlier been told, she did not need to report what she did to either thee batter or the mistress of this household.Thinking about the mistress made her body shiver. The chills she felt were yet to be determined to be fear or simple dislike. She walked to her room and leaned against the closed door. She heard the flapping of a cape but remained as she was. Felicity did not find any need in raising her head. She had been feeling some discomfort for a while but she did not know why.A hand was placed on her head making her twitch because she was not expecting it.

FELICITY. 2. FOR BETTER...
After taking a shower she wore her pajamas and went to bed. Felicity could not shake this uneasy feeling she had been having. She could tell that something, but she could not exactly point it out. Before lying down, she made sure the doors to her balcony were closed and that the windows were shut as well. She only allowed herself to sleep once she had confirmed it twice.Felicity stood on an eerie piece of land. The ground had an unusual color and texture. She crouched and took a hand-full of the soils particles and let it fall back to its source slowly. The particles were black. She stood, still trying to figure out where she was. And that was when she noticed the color of he sky. It was red.A dark cone of clouds spun across the horizon, skating toward her. Along with it came a parade of dust and nature. It grew in size as it approached. It became darker as well. Felicity looked around but saw nothing. The land was bare, whic
FELICITY. 3. OR FOR WORSE.
“Pack your bags.” Six years of not talking to her and this were the first words that came from her father’s mouth. She turned to look him in the eye demanding and answer. They had the same emerald eyes and jet black hair and it would feel like looking into a mirror. The only difference was how Felicity looked like. She was the exact height as her mother when Bruce first met her. Felicity might have gotten his eyes but they she looked at him reminded him so much of her. Her body also took after her mother. Bruce zoned out and wondered what his daughter would look like when she smiled. His eyes stung. He turned around and began leaving. It was a bad idea seeing his daughter when he had not gotten over her leaving. “Get to it.” Felicity really wanted an answer but her father, through his actions made it clear she had no say in the matter. A few minutes after Bruce had left, Becky

His eyes were red and puffy. Felicity assumed it was because he had pulled another all nighter. He did not move toward her but stared at nothing in particular. He did not notice her until she stood right next to him.“We don’t want to keep her waiting, now do we?” he said, still looking at nothing in particular.He walked into the black a state carriage and waited for her to do the same. When they drove off, she decided to read the book again. It was her favorite after all. And she felt like her mother was with her every time she read it. On the first pag
FELICITY. 5. SECRETS: PART ONE.
Felicity thought she had heard wrong. There was a certain longing in her father’s voice. She immediately looked at him but she could not read any emotion from his tired looking face. However, his eyes told her that there was pain being them. Her earlier speculation went out the window since the pain could only mean one thing, sleep.Bruce alighted the carriage and waited for Felicity to do the same. Felicity closed her book and followed her father. Once her feet touched the ground she looked around and took the scenery in. The countryside always brightened her days whenever she came. She looked at the sky, held the book tighter to her chest, took a deep breathe and smiled.The air was cleaner here. The trees were livelier. The birds were more energetic a’d everyone always wore a smile on their faces. They always greeted one another. Life here was totally worthwhile. Bruce had a smile on his face while looking at Fel
