8.Who are you?

I toss here and there on the bed but sleep didn't come to me. I look around the room to divert my mind and my gaze goes to the window which was open to my liking. There I saw something moving behind the grass which made it clear due to the moonlight coming from the window. While I was about to close the window, I see bright yellow dotted light in the bush just like the golden eyes looking at me. I was startled to see it and wave it off thinking it as a insects.

I went back to the bed to have some sleep but I couldn't get the ticket to the dream land. My body was not tired or fatigue so I stroll around the room trying not to disturb anyone as they might have having their beauty sleep working all day and here I'm not doing anything and still couldn't sleep soundly.

I seriously need to ask them about the job I could do and busy myself as it better than to stroll around the room like a maniac. I even try the exercise which would help me to sleep but it didn't became of any use. Cres had made me watch the video constantly for two hours  and it just waste of my precious time.

I have tried helping Luce and other in the kitchen but they shoo me saying hat I couldn't do such thing. I don't know how will I pay they kindness but they are showing way more respect to me. I feel like a burden to them but they seem to be happy around me. It was as if they need to make me happy and the boss will be happy.

Seriously. The boss. 

My mind then clouded with the thought of him and it made me feel mad yet happy at the same time. I like the concern he show for me and I'm pissed at the way he spoke to me. He might be the boss but he should boss around. I laugh at my own words like a mad woman.

I feel thirsty so I went downstairs in the kitchen. I open the fridge and drank the water. I feel presence behind me and find the person who had ruined my day looking at me. I glare at him as I find him looking at my legs. I was wearing pajama which ended above knee.

While I was about to close the fridge door I found ice cream. I don't wanted to have it but I was carving for it so I take them out and it was chocolate icecream which I wanted badly. I put it in the table and grab the spoon and devour it.

Anord was laughing looking at me and his laughter made me feel good. He was looking more handsome when he is happy than being rude.

''What! I am a clown.'' I asked as his laughter was not dying.

''Yeah, it suits you. CLOWN.'' He mocked me.

''Then, you are a...joker. A rude, arrogant joker.''

''Really, it's same you know.'' I was about to stand up when he lick the corner of my lips and caresses my check. I was taken by his action and enjoy his touch. My whole body came on fire and I forget everything.

Clearing of thoart interrupt us and he removed his hand and stand still. It was Tate and he smirk at me. I blushed when Anord smirk at me. I put the cover in the dustbin and quickly went to my room.

I was walking in the forest when a voice call my name. I feel it was familiar and loving.

''Ukrine, my baby.'' A lady wearing a white gown called me. I was taken a back as she was unknown to me.

''Who are you? Do I know you?'' I asked her.

''Oh course, you are my daughter and I am your mother. Come here.'' She gesture me to move towards her.

''Mom, I have a family and Where are we?'' I cried and hugged her.

''Love, you do have your family and you are in safe place. You will soon meet them and get the answer.''

''When mom, I am tired and it's making me weak.'' I cried more and she stroke my hair.

''Soon, have patience and you are strong and never lose hope. Believe in yourself and wait for dad and Xeres.'' She cupped my face and kissed me in forehead.

''Xeres, who is he? Mom.'' I asked her but she was disappearing.

She had tears and her last words were ''Take care and find love.''

I couldn't understand her words and I search her. I cried and screamed. I ran here and there but I couldn't find her.

Tears were flowing continuous and I fell vulnerable. Someone shake me and hold me. It made me feel safe and secure. He was whispering soothing words and it made me clam down.

I slowly open my eyes and found Anord stroking my hair. I hugged him and cried. I regained my consciousness and pulled from hug. I rubbed my eyes and went to bathroom.

I washed my face and look at the mirror. I find a pale girl with red eyes with messy hair looking hopeless. Mom words rang and I made myself strong and went outside.

Cres came and hugged me and asked me if I was okay. I just nodded and she told me to sit on bed. I drank the water and Cres hold my hand.

''What happened Lun...Ukrine? Are you okay?'' Tate voice came from the door.

''Yeah, I had a nightmare. I met my mom and she disappeared.''

''Oh, it's a dream and did she tell you anything.'' Dan asked. They seem to be awake by my screaming.

''Yeah, Take care and find love were her words.''

''Find love, what does it mean.'' Tate asked.

''Umm...to be happy and she told about Xeres but I don't know who is he.Before, she could answer she disappeared. I lost her and couldn't say goodbye.'' Tear drop from my eyes and I wiped them.

''Xeres, who could he be?'' Dan said and Cres squeeze my hand and told me to sleep.


They left the room except Cres and she stays with me.
After a while I drifted to sleep in hope of finding the answer.
