Chapter 3 - Chapter 3;America.

Dami woke up, the morning sun hitting her directly on the eyes. She shut her eyes tightly to keep the lights away. Her head throbbed from intense pain, and it came rushing back to her piercing her like a knife, reality. Her parents were gone, lying in a pool of their own blood. She broke down in tears, remembering every single moment they shared before their demise. She shut the world away from her and sinked down into her emotions, her head throbbing from intense pain, her eyes clouded with unstopping tears. Dami hated what she saw last night, her parents left without telling her why they had to. And the last moment was happy and strange at the same time. They had continued speaking in whispers and stopped whenever she approached.

Dami stared out of the window in a daze, oblivious of another presence in the room.

"Have this". The man said, handing over a cup of tea to Dami.

Dami ignored him and faced the window looking out into the city. The sun was beautiful this morning but it didn't match her mood.

"I am Simon, your father's brother. I know you are down so I will leave your tea here, don't let it get cold. And later I will tell you everything you need to know. Only if you eat breakfast to my satisfaction". Simon said leaving the cup of tea on the table near her bed and heading out of the room.

Dami didn't move from where she stood. Her body tensed from what Simon said. 'I will tell you everything you need to know'.

Although she was ten, she could still avenge their death. The anger and hatred was still surging through her, threatening to burst out like wild flames. She grabbed the pillow that lay on the bed and screamed into it as loudly as she could. She broke down sobbing again the pillow muffling her sounds, as she fell weakly on the bed. The mug of tea staring directly at her. She hit the cup like it caused her predicament making it shatter into pieces, the liquid scattered on the floor.

"Ooh Dami, I know you are depressed, but don't get crazy because of that". Dami stared around the room shocked into silence.

"Who... Who is that? " Dami asked sitting up on the bed.

"I am Loti, your room robot, and I will always be at your service young miss". The robot said introducing it's self.

"This... is crazy ". Dami muttered.

Yea, I know. But we would get along with time, don't worry, you have everything here and feel free to ask me anything. Now if you would let me do my job. I have to clean this mess. "Loti said.

Dami stood there in amused daze, and got pushed lightly on the bed.

"Have a rest while I clean this up". The robot Loti said.

Dami sat there in amusement and watched as the robot cleaned up the room in a second.

This uncle Simon was something.

Dami suddenly asked a question surprising herself. "Loti. Where is this place"?

"America". Loti answered.

Wait, what! Her dream country? Is this a dream?

Your uncle owns this estate, so he brought you here.

Dami walked swiftly to the glass window and appreciated the nature. Beautiful but on a bad day.
