Danial took the baby and ran, just like he promised Rosa, her daughter will be safe, he will step on his heart and keep getting farther and farther away... and never look back. He made them travel day and night because he wanted to get as far away as possible from the town in case someone were able to trace Rosa to there. In that time he became focused on the little girl more and more, she was quite... unlike what he knew about babies, her eyes would stay on him from time to time, or wander to scrutinize her surroundings, as if understanding those things are new.
Daniel soon became more attentive to her needs and comfort over his own, he thought he would despise her...for she was the child of the man who separated him from the light of his life,at the first day many thoughts of her being like Him spread in his mind like a venom, the man who betrayed him, who took his love, but when she looked at him with those jeweled familiar eyes the warmth spread involuntarily in his heart and the dark line of his thoughts changed... this was Rosa's child as well, she would be warm, brave, kind...funny when angered but dangerous, beautiful from the inside out, she is the daughter of the one he loved as well, he could love her..will love her for that alone, she was innocent from her fathers sins, and he will raise her to be Rosa's pride, elegant and happy, not cruel or greedy and devious like her father, and soo they kept moving, searching and searching carefully for their final destination...the Promised Safety.
17 Years Later
A girly rose pink painted walls with a sheer soft pearlier curtains swaying with the soft morning breeze, the sun slipped through the moving spaces and reached the sleeping girl on the queen size bed, her ink dark hair spread on the pillow and one tuft covered her eyes, but it could not prevent the warm and bright light of the sun from making those sleeping eyes know that the day broke and now the sleeping time were over.The amethystine eyes opened to the real world from the dream one, Christa Grayson was a 17 years old teenager, having a normal life with a normal father and going to a normal high school.Brightbells was a very well known, highly viewed educational institution in this country, and her father like the successful and wealthy doctor he is, won't have but the best for her, as always.
"Haammmm !!!!" Christa stretched her body and stood up going to the bathroom to do her morning routine, then got dressed and ready for a new agonizing day in her last year in the hell she called(HIGH SCHOOL).
Christa,even though she was a well known girl with a good number of friends at school, and even though like her father she possessed a high intelligent level that made her an A+ student and every teacher's perfect student example, there was one thing or rather...person that made her otherwise perfect life A Misery.
Alexander Whitewood...the very frustratingly cold, elegant, emotionless and handsome (even though Christa would die before saying that out loud) Student Body President.Ohh she never hated anyone as much as she hated that sandy blond haired guy with his cold and piercing gaze, and that's saying something because Christa never hated anyone in her life. The story of this ill-blood began when Christa first attended the school in mid term, for she and her father moved new to the city, and as always seeing that her life is on ceaseless travel from her father work...she got on the new environment quickly and made new friends, all were good until she saw the maltreatment of two of the council president's fan club members to one of her friends, and she defended her making a scene with the arrogant and transcendent girls.
FLASH BACK:
Christas Chra's day was going great, it had been two weeks in Brightbells and she already made a great group of pleasant friends besides a good first impression with the teaching body with her grades in the accepting tests and performances in the school clubs she joined. The music, art and gymnastics clubs. Her first friends were from those same clubs, first Andria a cute raven short haired and blue eyed girl who spoke to her for the first time after the first meeting in the music club, Andria congratulated her on her performance playing Beethoven Moonlight Sonata perfectly and the two bonded from there..
Then came Flora, the shy and soft-spoken brown-haired girl with the soft and clear hazel eyes, who she borrowed from a red color when hers ran out to finish her painting in the Art club; they sat after that, waiting for everyone else to finish while talking about the psychology of art, only to find themselves at the end of the meeting facing each other as the result for the best painting of the day, and ended up equalizing in the end to go out together from there, laughing good-heartedly about it. Selena then came in the next day in the gymnastics club, an energetic blonde with honey eyes that challenged her on seven jumps and seven flips, when Christa accepted the challenge and did it successfully. Selena deemed her worthy to be her partner in the future group trainings, which Christa understood from the gaping mouths of the entire club, and it coach is really something to be proud of ??. And with Selena came the Twins...Ben and Kevin, Selena's friends from "Surprisingly" the Science Club, Ben was with them in the gymnastics and with his brother in Science Club and always said:" we go everywhere as a package deal, but I can drag Kevin to the gym only when he's a dead body...so I'm the brawns while he's the brain... the perfect composition !" ,which she found cute and lovely. She and her friends were sitting in the cafeteria talking...Ben laughing while telling them a story:" ...and I said if you think this is 100% Urethane even though the whole room can smell it, go ahead and try but in your room not here because I'm sure you won't be allowed in any school when you are done from the smell !!!".", and we all laughed heartily, then Selena wondered:"Hey!..Where is Flora? Shouldn't she be back by now?" Andria:"Yeah, you're right. What's taking her so long?" Kevin tensely:"Guys..I..I think she got into trouble with..Them." Here everyone turned their wondering eyes to him and then to where he was pointing, to find a group of students half surrounding a bowed-headed Flora with her tray of food on the floor and two girls who looked to Christa even from her table, like a straight A bitches. The group of friends only met each others eyes for a second to understand, and stood up at once and went to their shy friend's aid. When Christa stood close to the scene, she analyzed the scene and noticed first the two silver brooches on the two girls' left side breasts, though she didn't know what they meant or why the two girls seemed to siphon their entire arrogance and power from them.
Displaying them as a threat to everyone around , and it seemed to work too !...for no one spoke a word even though the situation was clear, even Andria and the rest of her friends paused in their advance and they were now behind her. Christa could hear them speak again clearly this time now that she's closer. The first girl spoke smugly:"What?, nothing to say?, you seem unable to hear as well as to see.Aaahhhh !!! now I got it!, thats why all your paintings looked like childs scrabbles!! Ha ha ha ha..." The second girl:' You almost ruined my jacket, it worth more than ten of your fathers salary, someone like you should have stayed away from me ten feet...At least!..Now Apologize!".
Before Flora could open her mouth, Christa spoke up in a calm but icy cold tone: "Why exactly?" Everyone in the cafeteria went mute; the whispering that rang before was cut off by the shock! Someone had dared to speak back to not one, but two members! But if they thought for a second, it would have been just that... They were terribly mistaken. Christa continued: "Why should she apologize to you? I don't see any point seeing as how your pricey items weren't spoiled... And from my understanding, you were behind her on the line and didn't even look to see if the person in front of you left space for you to step forward... And caused my friend to lose her lunch on her shoes. So, you should be the one apologizing to her, not the other way around".
Jaws touched the floor and eyes almost left it souks, where this really happening?, The first girl replied indignantly":And who are you? Don't you know how to stay away from someone else bussnise?"
The secound girl continued dismissively as she moved her hand like she was shooing a fly away:" She must be new..and doesn't know a thing about who we are or else she would not foolisly spoke...now about that apology...",Christa:" Oh I do know who you are, at least what you appear to be, Two porcelain dolls who appear expensive and very valuable on the outside, but full of rubbish from the inside",loud gasps were heard across the room but Christa gave them no mind, a gaping fishs doing nothing to this injustice. She hated those situations, and witnessed a couple of them in her past schools, could it be the first here?, but from what she gathered from those two, not so likely.The first girl:" HOW DARE YOU!!, Don't you know who I am?",Christa:"Oh I don't...but from what I gathered from your attitude for the last five minutes I got that you are a very rich spoiled girl who brags about how expensive her clothes are and can easily get another in case it accidentally gets stained, and yet she's making a scene over something that didn't happen, and bullying a shy and quiet girl to look cool, Hypocritical don't you think ?"
The girl went to reply but was cut by a third girl saying coldly: "Alice... Jenna I suggest you cease this dispute at once... you have brought shame upon yourself and your station". Christina turned to see the source of the calm and cold voice and found a very beautiful caramel-haired girl with brown eyes... her fair face was frozen on a stony mask, hard like her voice, and she was wearing the same brooch as the other two. The new girl spoke to her next: "My apologies but I'm afraid I don't know your name... you must be new, I'm Carla the Student Body Council Fec President, it seems you had a misunderstanding with the members, however I must inform you that making a scene in the eating area of the school or any other area is not condoned, our school is well respected and highly viewed, this situation does not go well with our standards or reputation."
Christa replied as coldly and calmly: "I understand that...however the immoral and psychological bullying does not sit well with any institution and yet I saw all of the above from Tow...of your council members...so I hope you start with your own before you spare your high words of advice and wisdom to the student body." And so Christa went to Flora and put her arms around the still shaking girl, leading her out of the now suffocating cafeteria. Soon they were followed slowly by the rest of their friends.They regrouped in one of the empty classrooms, Flora calmed down in few minutes and Christa asked:"Who were they? and why didn't any of you talk with me out there?", the friends looked at each other silently until Selena was the brave one to speak:"Will dear Christa all I can say is you are done for..." Christa eyes went big as tennis balls and Ben pruseded:" Those were the members of the Student body council, a group of the richest and most powerful families , they had a say in everything here...clubs Activities students related decisions and laws.They can do whatever they want because nobody dares to talk back to them and be under their bad light", Kevin then took over from his twin:"Which is your place right now...I really sorry for you girl".
Flora said lowly and hoarsely:"I'm so...sorry this all happened because of me I...I put you in their bad light..and not only one but three...the fic President...oh my god I'm sorry...", Christa determently:"Don't! Don't apologize...it was not your mistake..they were arrogant bitches okay!?...I would not stand aside afraid of speaking my mind or defending a friend...if they were rich,I am and I won't treat someone like they treated you...I will go to their president or the school president himself ,they couldn't be allowed to keep this up with anyone like that".Everyone was shocked at her speech, no one dared to even think of this before, even after knowing the influence and power the members have over the school, but at the same time impressed by her nerve.
END OF FLASHBACK
Christa's thoughts were cut by her maid's voice,"Dear Christa! Your breakfast is ready!" The raven-haired teen looked at herself in the mirror for the last time and walked downstairs, ready for another day, not noticing that while she was lost in the memory and reliving the emotions she felt back then...the wind blew a little stronger through the curtains and caused the brush that was gripped tightly in her hand, to have black marks on it, as if they were burns..
