"Alright class, as the last day of school before winter break. We will revisit last week's class over basic algebra," the teacher stated." So who wants to explain what a coefficient is?"
The teacher waited a minute. "Okay, I guess I have to pick someone to explain. Mind you, this will be on the test when we come back," He looked around.
"Alright you there." he pointed at a student.
While the student explained another was focusing out a window, lost in her own world. As the class continued, the teacher asked others to solve equations; she was thinking back to yesterday when her butler came looking for her in her garden.
***********
"Young miss... Young miss, where are you!" an older man was yelling as he walks throughout a manor.
He began to worry, ten minutes he had started looking for the young mistress outside her bedroom. As he was searching, other servants around the manor snickered at him for even caring about the young mistress or rather young brat in their own minds.
"Look at him, so desperate," one maid said.
"yeah, I wouldn't have even tried," another said.
"I heard he doesn't even care about her but he misses her mother," the first maid whispered as the other one chuckled softly.
The old butler came running in their direction, unknowingly ending their gossip. He stopped in front of the two and asked if they had seen the young miss to which they said no. He left right after to continue his search.
"... that was close," both the maids sighed.
As the man ran, he saw some of the winter flowers blooming. Thinking of the late Lady Alyssa, the mistress's mother, who loved flowers. He stopped and turned to check the flower garden, lady Alyssa's favorite spot. He yelled once more to see if she was there.
"I can hear you, stop yelling you're going to make me deaf!" she answered
The man sighed in relief and caught his breath before speaking. "Young miss, your grandfather wants you to stay at his villa for the winter"
"Do I have too?... he always creeps me out AND his villa is in the middle of nowhere," she complained.
"Yes, young miss you have to go. He required it and although he does live further away and doesn't interact with people much... he says he wants to spend time with you and have you a little more acquainted with rural life. Besides, they have a nice little town there where you can hang out with others your age. So you won't be lonely." He kindly explained, but in return he got a scowl from the girl.
"Let us be off young miss before you catch gain a cold." He said
"Tch"
As they were leaving, snow began to fall down, covering up the different colored flowers besides the crimson red roses.
**************
It had been a few days since her butler told her she had to go the countryside but she still hated the idea none the less, she exhaled loudly causing the rest of the students to look at her.
"Miss Rose, will you please solve this equation as you seem bored out of your mind." the teacher said looking in her direction.
"Yes, sir" she replied with a blank face.
"What is 15-4x=2(3x+1)" he asked
"It is~"
As she solved the equation,the class was left shocked including the teacher as Rose was known for not having good grades and an even worse personality. There were even rumors floating around about what happened to her mother.
"Al-alright thank you, Miss Rose for the great step by step explanation. Now before we go does anyone have any questions on the assigned winterbreak homework?" the teacher stuttered
Again no one raised their hand.
"...DiinnnG...alright that'ss the end of today's lesson. please have a good winter break and don't forget to practice over the break to strengthen your bodies," the teacher said as he flexed to the leaving students.
On the way out of the school, Rose encountered many people hanging out in the halls and talking to their friends..she sometimes wished she had friends but her father always told her to never make friends with commoners as they'll ruin the quality of noble blood. She had once asked how that is possible, but her father had whipped her for questioning his words. Sometimes the maids back at the mansion had gossip on how her mother was a commoner. Before she knew it, she had reached the entrance where her butler was waiting.
"Young miss, did you enjoy your last day school." he asked
"It was okay," I replied, walking to the carriage.
"Young miss, it is freezing outside. Let me get you a scarf" he said grabbing a scarf from the carriage
"It's fine. I'm not that cold," I replied with him moving to put the scarf on me.
"As you wish." he said no longer pushing me to wear a scarf.
He had helped me enter before going to the coach's seat. I heard him shake the horse's reins. The carriage shook a little as it moved but soon steaded. I turned my head toward the window....we were off.... to the middle of nowhere .....to see grandfather. What awaits me in this long dreadful winter!!
*********************************************************
Faraway in a forest is an undeveloped but slightly muscular boy crouching behind one of the tall trees. The massive trees allowed enough light through to show a pair of hoof prints. I've found my prey, he thought as he continued to follow the prints. As he gets closer, he makes sure not to make a sound. He sees his prey no more than a foot away from him. With the deer not noticing him yet, he gets on all fours as if he was a wild wolf. He lunges at the deer, startling it. The deer fails to scramble away. He had his sharp teeth imbedded in its throat. Using his arms, he wraps them across the neck to gain a better grip, and in less than a second, he pulls, ripping the deer's jugular.
After feeling the deer stiffen he lets the deer drop to the white ground to push his wavy hair out of his eyes, blooding his face.
*********************************************************
On the way, he encountered many predators looking to steal his bounty, but he scared them all away with a simple growl. He stopped to rest as the deer was quite heavy for his small frame. He backs up against a tree and slid down its cool bark. He tries to look beyond the leaves above to somewhat determine the time. As he stares, there was a ruffing in the shrubs before him; snapping his eyes from the leaves above to the bush a small dot appeared just past the bushes. After a moment it loudly moved forward, startling some birds in the trees above. Soon its piercing golden eyes emerged, meeting his own silver. It lunged at the boy, but the boy had barely rolled away. The coyote shifted back towards him. Within, the short time he had; he got back up to a crouch. He growled at the beast as a warning but it did nothing. He once more got into his wolfish form and leaped at the coyote. The coyote seeing the boy's movement opened its maul and bit down on his shoulder. He yelped from the pain and in desperation clawed at the coyote's eye. The coyote let go and hopped backwards howling in pain as its eyes became covered in blood partially losing its sight. The beast growled again but instead of attacking it turned around and ran.
The boy had let the beast go, after it won't last long out there with one of its eyes lost; heck, he had practically killed the coyote with that move. In, fear of more hunters showing up from the smell of blood, he trudged to the deer and pulled it away.
*********************************************************
He reaches a cave as the moon was just rising. The moon illuminated his scarred back and caused his pitched black hair to sparkle. He sniffs and at the lack of uncommon smells, drags the deer in.
Reaching the near center of the scarcely lit cave he said "I'm home" although it was not through words but a growl.
"Glad to see your back. What did you hunt today?" a growl came from deeper within the cave in multiple bursts.
"I've got a deer" he 'replies.'
"Great!" the voice sounding more feminine says, getting closer.
Coming out of the darkness another pair of golden eyes, with silver flicks, reveals itself. A large grey wolf slowly saunters to the boy and licks some of the dried blood off his head and arm. The wolf licking his arm causes a small gasp from the boy.
"Did you get hurt?" she asks
"Yes, on the way back I encountered a coyote that attacked me for the deer."
The wolf moved its head closer to see the bite mark better "It doesn't look too bad but it will scar," She says. before looking at the dead deer "I will take care of your wounds later, in the mean time, drain the blood."
He nods as he crouches down to the deer. As he begins to tear the carcass open using his sharp nails. He asks "Mother, why do we barely leave home...when the cold season arrives?"
"Because when the cold comes so do the hunters," she responds, looking at the boy.
"The... hunters?" he asks as he reaches into the chest of the deer.
"Hunters are the beings that go around and kill most of the animals and beasts in the forest during the cold months." She pauses for a second, her eyes darting away "for reasons we do not know. anyway that should have been long enough for most of the blood."
*********************************************************
Knock... knock...I woke up startled by the sound of the door opening
"Young mistress, we have arrived at the villa." My butler said
As I move to get up from my nap on the carriage seats, my back starts to ache...Ouch, I let a murmur out as I was popping my back
"Young miss, are you alright?" the old butler asked
"Ye.yes, I'm fine." I muttered still waking up.
As Rose stepped down from the carriage, she could see snowy white fields and hills as far her eyes can see. Before she could even say anything, her butler called out to follow him into the old villa.
"F*ck me, wasn't supposed to be a town here, "I muttered.
"Can you repeat that, young miss?" He gave a side glare and asked.
"Nothing..but didn't you say there was a town here?"
"Yes, mildly .. I did, there is one about 2 miles south from here," he awkwardly smiled
"TWO MILES!!!!" I yelled
Startled, he stuttered, "y..yes two miles."
"what else is there to do here besides staying in my room or develop my mana veins" I angrily asked.
"Well..milady... there is a forest north of the villa but the master has banned entry since hunting season is coming up..However there are maids around your age you can talk to if you like," he stated after a minute of thinking.
"Great... just... great!!" I grumbled, walking to the door. on the inside she was having her own dilemma "I don't even want to think of friending the maids. I don't like them, especially now after...mother." she thinks.
They often mistreated her when her butler wasn't around. And in rare cases where her family was present, they also tormented her. They called her a mistake, a disgrace, not even worthy of the name of Bloomington. Cause of this she always thought she was lesser.
As they opened the villa door, a magnificent view fell upon them: the entrance had a giant polished diorite and quartz staircase, in front of the staircase were two columns with festive garlands wrapping around them, and the most surprising of all were the maids, butlers, cooks and governess bowing down.
"What in the..."
"Welcome to the Bloomlington villa, young mistress!" they collectively spoke.
