I woke up feeling light headed the next day. The sun was already up in the sky radiating off heat that I felt into the depth of my heart. I love the dry season in the Philippines and thank goodness the sun is out here in Europe in this time of month.
I yawned and made my way to the shower. The cold water pierced my skin and onto my bones and I winced as all my senses went wake. I liked showering with cold water because it wakes me up faster. I salute those morning persons out there while I'm contented in ignoring morning as it was. After showering I slid into some decent clothes and prepped my face in a simple make up.
I unlocked my doors and was startled when I saw a made bowing to me.
"Mrs. Loveland wishes to see you, Lady Vega" she said. "If you would follow me"
She motioned for me to follow and I just nodded my head. I kind of felt guilty with the illusion that we made last night. They thought that they were eating with us when the reality was it was only an illusion. With our special abilities combined, we can create illusions depending on the situation.
"Mrs. Loveland awaits inside, Lady Vega.", the maid gestured inside a room.
When I entered, I saw Mrs. Loveland staring at the window into the lavishly made palace garden. Its massive man-made maze was a sight to see. The paths were bathed in different colors of blooming flowering vines attached to the maze walls. What a sight. A couple of gardeners were working in there and they were scattered around the maze.
"Lovely." I commented.
Mrs. Loveland looked at me and smiled. She held out her hand and I jolted internally because of its coolness.
"I had the weirdest dream last night. And it was ages when I even had one. It was so long ago.." she stared into nothing. "Anyway, it showed that we were eating happily in the dinner table. It could only mean onething. Better things are coming our way.", She smiled genuinely.
"I hope so Mrs Loveland." I answered.
"Mum. Call me mum."
"As you wish, mum" I hesitated inwardly. I have a feeling that this is gonna be worse.
After some talking about the garden, I dismissed myself to see my siblings. I exited her room and let out a sigh I didnt thought I had. I silently thanked her for not bringing the wedding issue then and there.
I opened my senses and connected my ennergy to my siblings. They sensed me back and I followed the sensation and landed in a balcony just above the floor that I just came from. I saw them sitting in a circular table munching on some breakfast. Riviere, Clover, Candace, Golden, Vivienne, Carlisle and Gavin. I exhaled when I didnt see Nicholas. Candace stood up and waved me into a chair. I smiled and murmured my thanks.
"Good morning you guys," I asked and looked around. The Lovelands were just sitting around and not eating.
"Not hungry?" I asked to the calm Clover. As if I didn't know why. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts.
"Not really," he smiled. Almost friendly. I relaxed when I didn't see any canines protruding in his teeth.
"Im hungry." I replied.
I put some food on my plate and ate heartily. Wow. I am really hungry. I wonder when was the last time I had some decent meal. I could tell that my siblings were the same. They were also eating hungrily with contented smiles on their faces.
I jumped out of my skin when I felt a cold touch on my arm.
"Easy." Mr Loveland chuckled. "Its your old man." He added.
I smiled sheepishly and managed to say sorry. He seated himself and read some newspaper. The small table suddenly felt heavily crowded when I sensed an unknown sensation boring into the back of my head. I put my fork slowly and I didn't need to guess who just came into the room.
"Morning, Nicholas." Riviere greeted him coldly.
