"I can't believe we really will step our foot in this mansion." Poppy turned to Fleur. "No none nobles ever enter this mansion. This dorm is made speciality for those 'princesses'.

Fleur looked around. It's smaller than her mansion back in LA. But it's luxurious for sure. The arch, the marbles, the statue along the entrance. All screaming money and status.

They all stopped dead on their tracks when the front door opened. Francesca smiled. "You girls know the door is right here? Why standing there? Come on.." Francesca opened the door and let them walk in.

"Clementine is getting everything ready. Arabelle, well being herself, she's in the spa." Natalie looked at Francesca. "There's a spa here?" The noble nodded. "We need them. The stress sometimes overwhelms us."

Natalie chuckled. What kind of stress does these girls have? She thought to herself. "Follow me.." Francesca smiled and lead them all towards a huge room. "This is our entertainment room. Please wait here while I call for the others." Francesca excuse herself and disappeared by the door.

"Well. Now you can see how beautiful they look like in their own habitat." Isabella says and pointed at a portraits above the hanging flat screen.

Fleur was about to go and looked at the portraits when Arabelle appeared in the room with only her robe. "Oh. Your all here." Arabelle smiled. "Where's Francesca?" She asked.

"Calling for you and Clementine, my lady." Natalie says politely. Before Arabelle could say anything, Francesca and Clementine walked in. "Oh. Hey Arabelle. Why don't you put on some decent clothing before meeting the guest."

Francesca looked at Fleur who look at Arabelle from top to bottom. "Oh.. I'll be right back." Arabelle says and winked at Fleur. Fleur shake her head and turned to her friends.

"Why don't we have a little snacks while waiting for her shall we.." Francesca smiled and clapped her hands. Several maids walked in and placed a very delicious looking cuisine.

Everyone was gulping except for Fleur who just can't get Arabelle's image off her head.

***

Fleur, Isabella, Natalie, Poppy, Arabelle, Francesca and Clementine sat on the floor in circle. In the middle of the circle, they placed an empty bottle of apple cider as their 'wheel of fortune'.

"Let's have an American tradition sleepover must have, ghost stories." Francesca says as Clementine played a soundtrack of creepy music playlist on Spotify.

Arabelle grabbed the iPod from her friend and turn it off. She was never a fan of ghost stories since she was born. She hates it. She's not going to be scared of it just like that! "Don't.. Do.. That.." Arabelle says and kept the iPod away from her.

"Anyone have stories to share?" Francesca looked at everyone's face. Fleur look at everyone and none of them says anything. Fleur smiled and raised her hand. "Fleur.. please. Share it with us."

"Oh I have a few. My great grandmother was a fan of ghost stories and most of them based on true events and experience." Fleur cleared her throat.

"My story is about a little girl. A little girl was killed suddenly while waiting for a school bus by a speeding car. Since her death things have happened. The day of her funeral she started knocking on doors of the house she was born in."

Fleur chuckled when Poppy grabbed Natalie's arm.

"A month later as her clothes were to be removed the doors in the home flew open with no reason. Cold spots now can be felt and knocking at the door is still present to this day in the home." Fleur continued.

"Also when there swings in the yard you could see them swing real high as if someone was swinging on them. Light like to go on and off in this home and she does move things to let someone know she is there."

Fleur grabbed the torchlight from Clementine and turned it on. She placed it below her chin and smiled.

"The cemetery where this child lies has had alot of activity also. When you visit her grave she has a twirly that will start going around and round with no reason or wind blowing to let you know she is present."

Fleur looked everyone's face and smirked.

"Some have said she has been spotted walking the cemetery very restless as if she doesn't realize she has passed on." She ended her story with eerie snickered.

Arabelle was scared. She's trying hard not to showed her fears. Fleur noticed it. Before Francesca say anything, Fleur stopped her. "I have another story to share. If you don't mine." Francesca motioned for her to continued.

"This is one of my favourite story of all. It's about a creepy mental hospital and I'm sure everyone will have fun hearing it." Isabella was intrigued.

"Mercywood was a mental hospital before closing down. Security guards heard the elevators moving when the building was empty. Sounds would come from the boiler room. In the basement were personal belongings of the past inmates."

Arabelle can't believe Fleur was continuing with this stories!

"There was also a bowling alley and bumper pool tables in the basement. There were insane rambling written on the walls in some of the rooms. 'The Devil Is Among Us', '666', 'Death Is This Way', that's just some of the rambling."

Fleur took a deep breath and grinned.

"Behind the hospital there was a convent where the nuns lived that worked in the hospital and even to go in there was a very uneasy feeling. It is like you can feel the insanity that surrounded the place. Also an evil feeling."

Arabelle grabbed Francesca's arm and squeezed. She's scared. She's really was. She can't control it anymore.

"They have since torn down the old hospital but something has been built there recently. Some say the new building was haunted by nuns and past inmates that took refuge in the mental hospital. Some say, anyone who rent the building, will mysteriously died the next day..."

Arabelle closed her eyes and waited for Fleur to end the stories. When she heard nothing, she looked up to see Fleur grinning like an idiot.

"Are you scared princess?" Fleur asked and chuckled.

***

Arabelle kept tossing and turning. After the horror fest they just had, she couldn't sleep. Every sound startled her and every noise made her jump. I one time she did manage to fall asleep, she had the worst nightmares.

She decided to go for a walk. "Maybe the fresh air will help." Arabelle walked into the hall and turned to go out. At that same time Fleur was on her way back from the bathroom.

She looked out in the hallway and saw Arabelle walking out the door. She decided to see where she was going. Fleur didn't want to scare her by yelling so she waited to catch up to Arabelle before saying anything.

Just as Fleur got close enough to call out, Arabelle screamed and some boys from Columbus Institute had grabbed her. Arabelle was so scared, she fainted almost immediately. "HEY! LET HER GO NOW!" Fleur ran up to the guys and began hitting them.

The first two guys were on the ground bleeding. She turned to the other two guys. "Calm down will you. It was only a joke. We were just playing around. We weren't going to hurt her."

While the one boy begged for Fleur not to beat him, the other guy began to run away. Fleur was not going to let him get away with this by being a coward and running. She picked up a log the size of her arm and launched it.

She hit the running guy right in the back of his head sending him to the ground and face first in the mud. She then hit the guy, who was now crying, in the jaw. Blood sprayed from his mouth as he fell.

"You guys better never come near Arabelle again." Fleur yelled as the dazed boys got to their feet and stumbled off. Fleur then carefully picked Arabelle up and carried her back to her bed.

Fleur got a bowl of warm water and a wash cloth and wiped the tears away and cleaned Arabelle off. Arabelle gave a smile of thanks. Fleur stood up to leave but Arabelle took her hand. Fleur turned back around.

"Would you stay with me please? Just until I fall asleep?" Fleur returned the smile and laid down next to Arabelle. Arabelle fell asleep quickly. Knowing she was safe and protected.

"I'm sorry.. For telling you the stories earlier.."

***

As usual, Francesca woke up and wake her friends up. When she knocked on Arabelle's door, she was surprised that Arabelle didn't says anything. She try to turned the knob and it was unlocked.

She entered and was shocked to see Fleur and Arabelle on the bed together. Francesca mouth open and closed but no words came out of it.

Clementine was casually walked past Arabelle's door when she noticed Francesca inside Arabelle's room. When she entered, Clementine too, was shocked.

Arabelle's head was on Fleur's chest while Fleur's arms around Arabelle's body. "When did this happen?" Francesca whispered. "Probably last night." Clementine looked around the room.

"No clothes laying on the floor. They both clothed." Francesca looked at Clementine weirdly. "What kind of sex was that?" Clementine chuckled and dragged Francesca out of the room.

"Let her have her fun. We should tell the maids to prepare some breakfast." They both went to the kitchen.

Back to Arabelle's room, she tossed and turned when she felt the sun light was disturbing her sleep. She yawned and stretched herself. When she turned to the other side, her eyes widen to see Fleur sleeping soundly next to her.

Yesterday's event came flooding her thoughts. She quickly raised her duvet and was relief to see she's fully clothed and so does Fleur. She was about to wake her up but when she noticed how calm Fleur was, she doesn't have the heart to do so.

She caressed her cheek and smiled when Fleur hummed. "So cute." She says a little loud. Fleur slowly opened her eyes and abruptly move away from Arabelle.

"I'm sorry, my lady." Fleur says before fall on her butt first from the bed. "Owww.." Arabelle get up to a sitting position and looked down. "Are you okay?" Fleur rubbed her back and nodded.

Arabelle smiled. "Thank you. For last night." Fleur waved it off and stood up. She was about to walked out when someone knocked on the door. "Hey you two, breakfast ready!"

Arabelle's eyes widen. "How did.. Oh God.. they will have the wrong idea.." Arabelle stood up from her bed and went to the closet. She came out wearing a robe and walked out followed by Fleur.

"Morning Arabelle.. Fleur." Francesca smiled as she noticed her friends walked together. "Morning." Arabelle says nonchalantly. Fleur just smile. "Good sleep?" Clementine asked when she seated on her usual chair.

"Fantastic." Fleur says.

Arabelle kicked on Fleur's leg. "What's for breakfast." Arabelle asked as Fleur rubbed her leg. "The usual." Francesca smiled and invited everyone to the dining table. Isabella, Poppy and Natalie smiled.

Natalie leaned in to Fleur. "Where were you?" Fleur just smiled and began eat her breakfast. "Are you ready for today's game Isabella?" Clementine asked. "I am, my lady. It's not easy to beat the Central School."

Fleur had no idea what was everyone talk about but for not being rude, she just nodded. "Do you play sports Fleur?" Arabelle asked. Fleur nodded.

"I do boxing. Soccer, tennis. What about you, princess? You do play sport right?" Fleur smile widely.

Arabelle finished her meal and pushed her plate away. "Hockey and polo." She took a sipped of her tea and was satisfied with the taste. "We're going to watch the game today, Arabelle. What about you?"

Arabelle nodded. "I have nothing to do. Why not." She smiled.

"Emerson. Do you know where my bikini is? I can't find them."

Antonia shouted over the walk in closet door. Emerson walked in and pointed at the whole lot of bikini's on the cupboard. "No. the red one. The one we bought in Milan not so long ago."

Emerson chuckled and pointed at the couch. Antonia looked at the direction and sighed. "Since when did my bikini has its own legs." She began to stripped her clothes off and put on the bikini.

Antonia choose a see through long floral print boho dress. She put it on to covered her body before arrive at the beach. Emerson was choosing her shades and stopped dead when Antonia walked out of the closet.

"Come on. Let's go to the beach." Emerson didn't move. She just looked at her wife from top to bottom. "How can I be so lucky to have such hot wife like you?" Emerson breath out.

Antonia snickered and went to her wife side. She pick one of the shades and smiled. "Because you're amazing for me. Let's go.." Antonia dragged her wife out of their room and knocked on their kids door.

"COLTEN! AZELNA! WE'RE GOING WITHOUT YOU IF YOU BOTH LATE!" Antonia yelled over the doors.

"WE'RE DOWNSTAIRS MOM!" Colten yelled back. Emerson and Antonia chuckled and went downstairs. "Why are we going to the beach again?" Azelna asked when her parents went down.

"Because we want to continue our tradition. Just because our dear Fleur is not here, doesn't mean we stop doing what we always do on weekends." Emerson says and messed up her daughter's hair.

"Mum!" Emerson chuckled.

"Colten, you will have to drive today." Emerson threw her keys to her son. Colten nodded and went outside to get the car. "When are we going to visit Fleur?" Azelna asked her mothers. "Yea Ems, when?" Antonia asked.

Emerson shake her head. "Soon. We will. Eventually. Now we have to deal with things around here before we could go to London." Azelna sighed. She really miss her little sister. Fleur was the only person who understand her.

Fleur did offered her to follow her to St. Miriam, but living in a dorm was not Azelna's kind of school life. They all went outside where Colten was waiting for them inside the car.

They all went to the beach. It's something they always do in the weekends. It's to released all the stress that's build up all week. They all love spending time with each other. It's the time for them to bond as a loving family as well.

Half an hour later, they all arrrive at the beach. Since they all a Larove, they can't even go out of their house without reporters and paparazzi following them.

Antonia, being the founder and owner of Lavilia Modelling Agency, one of the successful agency in the world, got out of the car with Grace. With her perfect curve figure, she look like someone who's never had triplets before.

Emerson followed soon and Colten and Azelna was the last person to got out of the car. Antonia placing her stuff on the beach sand and continued to let her dress down. So does Azelna.

Emerson decided to read a book and spread out a blanket on the sandy beach. "Baby, your not going to play in the water?" Antonia asked. "Nope. Have fun you all."

Antonia shrugged and went to the water with her kids.

Emerson chuckled when she saw her wife and kids having fun in the water. She continued to read her book and was enjoying her time when she felt her phone vibrated.

"Yes, Richard." Richard was one of the Larove's loyal lawyers. "I'm with my family at the beach. What is the matter?" Emerson says to the phone. Emerson was listening to her lawyers explaining when she abruptly got up to a sitting position.

"What do you mean one of the appointed noble families suing my family?!" Emerson shouted over the phone. Antonia looked at her wife and went to her side together with the kids.

"Why are they suing?" Emerson asked her lawyer. Antonia was confuse to why Emerson mention about suing.

"FLEUR DID WHAT?!" Antonia eyes widen when she heard Fleur's name.
