"knock.. knock.
Go away,,, I don't want anyone near me . Please go away,,, I am begging you .
Young Miss,, it me.
"Is that you Mr. Sampson???
Yess,,, it me. Please can you open the door for me to come in??
Ohk,,, you can come in.xx
I heard a click sound and the door opened.sß
My heart ached at the very seen I saw,,,she has coiled therself into ball,,,hugging herself tightly as if there was no tommorow..
Her shallow and hollow voice ...
I brought you something to eat Miss...
No Mr. Sampson,,, I don't want to eat...
She muffled a cry..
As she continues sniffing and sobbing...
Ohk,,, do you mind me coming in???
She raised her head to look at me, with her eyes all red probably from crying all the day.
"Yess....
I want to show you something.
Really,, Mr. Sampson??
Yess,,, let's go.
He held her small hands in his and escorted her to a small place in the woods at the back of the mansion
"Where is this place Mr. Sampson???
Have patients little one.
The sky was grey,,, and was getting dark.
It's mostly dark at this part of the empire,, the east since it's mostly slowning with little sunlight here whilst in the south,,, it is most bright and mostly rains there.
Now see something.
He clapped his hands and what seems like some small fliers came up in the sky.
Woow,,, are they fireflies???
Yes,,, my dear,,, they are fireflies.
Can I have one???
Ohk...
He closed his eyes and enchanted some words.
Here you go,,, have it .
This is really awesome.
Do you like it???
Yes,,, I just don't like it Mr. Sampson,,, I love it too.
He watched as the little girl wonders around and playing with the fireflies. Smile plastered on her face and his heart was filled with a sheer joy.
They spend few minutes there.
He was really happy to be able to make the young Miss happy.
It's time Nora,,, let's go back or else your food will get cold.
Ohk Mr. Sampson,,, but can I keep this one????
Come here little one.
He took her and placed her on his lap.
All beings in this realm are beautiful,,, but no matter how much we want to be with them,,, they also got their own life. To fly around joyfully. They also want their freedom.
Hope you understand young Miss.
Yes Mr. Sampson, but one day I want to be like them.
Have winds,fly and fly in the skies
You can be whatever you want to Nora,, with hope.
This man has seen something great in the kid.
Heavens,,, I know what you have bestowed upon this child,,, I only hope you protect her from this her weaked family.

(Back to the present)
Now judging from my life back then,, things weren't easy for me. The only person who really cared for me was Mr. Sampson and some few maids.some of the maids too quite didn't like me and despise me.
They made it clear with every actions of theirs that they didn't like me one bit .
I even caught them sometimes gossiping about how different and unimportant I was to the family.
Sometimes I just want to do this one thing,,, slapped that blubbering mouth of theirs to shut them up. But they are not even worth my slapping.
I was really exhausted and wanted some sleep but before I could make any move,,,my feet started carrying me upstairs as if my legs have brain of theirs.
The room was a little bit dim due to lack of sunlight most of the time in the east.
The curtains at the window was open so I drew it together to prevent more of the cold wind blow inside my room and lit the candle to provide some source of light.
It was icy chilled so I went to add some woods to the fireplace to keep the room at temperature till the next day.
I prepared myself some hot bath and couldn't stop myself from moaning when the water touched my skin. It was so soothing and caressing that,it cooled me down and all my worries evaporated.
I was the only person without maid to help prepare a bath for me and I rather prefer it that way than sending those gossiping mummies to my room and although sometimes our butler Mr Sampson insist I have one.
Sometimes I asked myself how much my family hates me.
After I was done drying myself,,, I wore my night gown and sink into my bed to just let sleepiness take me to where it wants.
And with that I wondered into my Dreamland,, where everything is peaceful and perfect.
It was early in the morning as I checked my wall clock and it was 5:00am.
I heard a loud thud on my door.
I stood up and put on my morning coat.
Who might it be to knocking by this time???
Or maybe it's Mr. Sampson???
I woke up with sleepiness still hovering around me like smoke and dragged my feet lazily to the door.
I opened it and guess who it was????
Emma?????
I knew from that instance that my day wasnt going to be any better.
