9. FIRST IMPRESSION?
Roger had been wondering for a while but could not figure out why he felt uneasy about the figure that had passed him the day before. It felt like it did not belong. He vaguely remembered what had happened that day. When he saw the figure, he found himself on the hallway. His heart was beating so fast from anger. Felicity was gone and something about some family had Bruce and Hailey on edge.
The sun constantly sought to touch their skin through the trees. The air was bright with birdsong but she did not seem to be enjoying this. Her eyes looked dead, her body looked cold. Michael looked at her and offered her a blanket to wrap around herself but she did not take it. He called out to her but she did not respond.
Her head hang dangerously low for some reason. Stretching out his hand, he attempted to gently tap her when he heard her snoring silently. She was asleep. He had not noticed and had only looked at her when she entered th

Part of him was filled with utter and complete joy while the other was restless. He could not tell why this was happening. He kept convincing himself that seeing her everyday would be fine. He also forbade himself from falling for her, though he had already fallen in that pit. He was confused and lost in his world.His mind was in total chaos as his heart pounded harder ten times over but his face was calm. It was a disgrace for a noble to show their weakness. It would also be used against them in the long run. Moreover, he had seen this in real life more times than he could count, it sickened him but in his mind he was convinced that the world had no place for weakness, and that was why he strived to grow strong.Everyday, he would train and gain more knowledge in the attempts of protecting what he valued most. His family. Even though most of them were not up to his standards, they were still his blood. He just hoped when he f
FELICITY. 11. THE FAMILY.
The day had been long and tiresome. The events were both good and bad. The master and mistress came home that evening and so did the rest of the siblings. The once free environment became very toxic and suffocating. It did not feel like a family and gave of the feeling of an office where the manager was constantly at the employee demanding for results. The only ones who behaved like family were Jayden and Jodie.She helped the maids set the table as she wanted to avoid staying with a family this suffocating. Her life had not been an easy one but right now she needed light not more darkness. They all ate silently and in a robotic way. Occasionally, she felt someone gazing at her and it made shivers run up and down her spine at an alarming rate. She dared not look up and continued thinking.Her face was void of emotion but no one could deny the fact that she still looked heavenly and even more breathtaking. From time to time, she
FELICITY. 12. THE BLANK.
The air was tense. He was seated in the middle of the room looking at the two who only glared back at him. He wondered what he had done wrong. His mind began thinking of what he chores were. If he had completed every one of them and his conscious was clear. He was sure he had done it all with a little more to show.Hailey sighed. She knew that look all too well. He was confused and was trying to figure out why he was in such a predicament. This made her remember the one time he was called by her. Time had passed by so much since then. She smiled to herself.Roger was still a fresh leave in her mansion. He was not yet accustomed to doing the work he could do now. Moreover, most of the duties he had now were ones he had added for himself through the years. He had been brought over by Felicity’s mother and his eyes were puffy from crying all the way. From the moment she set her eyes on him, she knew that he was indeed like h
FELICITY. 13. NO LONGER.
Someone walked in a slightly lit dark corridor. The light that managed to penetrate only illuminated the path enough for a little vision. The person kept on walking into things and walking while holding the wall. They had carried something that was important. However, after a while, the person began walking without any trouble.Once outside, Becky turned around to thank the person that had guided her. She opened her mouth to speak but only smiled in the end. It was a wise decision as it would be odd for her to thank someone other people could not see. She walked to the main house and someone followed her. The sound of a cloak flapping was heard as the person followed her.His feet never touched the ground. His feet were bare and clean. He was dressed in silver from top to bottom. One could not see his face or any other feature because his were covered in a long cloak and his hood was on. However, his hair was visible. At first
FELICITY. 14. ESCAPE.
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. However, someone walked out of the household. They had a cloak on them making it difficult for anyone to recognize them. They jumped over the wall and fled.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.She went in without further delay or even bothering to tell her superiors that she had arrived. At the moment, what was important to her, was the life she had come to save. That was, of it jadn’t crossed over yet. The butler yelled for her to stop which attracted the attention of those
FELICITY. 15. DAYS GONE BY.
It had been two days since that night and everything had gone smoothly if she had to say. She had managed to avoid the mistress of the house, the husband, the kids and any distractions in her work. Jayden had somehow warmed up to her since that night but she still felt incomplete like something was missing.She closed the chest she had opened and walked to her seat. She could consider herself lucky as she was given a room all to herself, food was provided and she could use the library if she so desired. She had stationed her seat by the window so that she could look out. The view from her seat was breathtaking no matter how many times she saw it.There was a huge tree right by her window. It wasn’t too close to inconvenience the light but it wasn’t too far either. It would shed its leaves as the wind blew by making the view spectacular. Holding her book in hand, she took a seat and placed it on her lap. She wondered what had happ
FELICITY. 16. REMINISCENCE.
Night had fallen and she had put her to bed. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened. They had crossed paths with Jayden only once. For the rest of the family, she had not seen them. 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. Feeling cold as thee person withdrew their hand, she leaned in for more. Her body acted on its own but she did not resist. The hand was warm and not as cold as everyone else’s. He wa

Placing her hand on the rail, she closed her eyes and breathed in while enjoying the scent around her and looked up. The sky was bruised with clouds like bunches of deep mauve cotton that stretched as wide as the eyes could see. However, not one of them touched the sun. Their edges brightenedas though someone had taken out a felt pen and drew their outline. Pink and purple seeped into thee spaces between the clouds the sun forked out through every gap it could find. The sight before her was breathtaking and she was happy to be enjoying it. The scene was a beautiful painting that would forever be stored in her memories forever. Smiling to
