Dazed (H.S)

Chapter 1

"Hold on and I still want you, Come back I still need you."

Angelina's POV:(7 Years back)

It was a beautiful Sunday morning. Spring has arrived, and everything thing was blooming. I've loved this season since I was a kid because, after all, I was born in spring. It had its place in my heart.

I had an excellent breakfast with my brothers. Sunday used to be my favorite day of the week. We all used to sit together and do things all ordinary families do, but then again, mine wasn't normal.

"Angelina wait! I'll catch you!" My brother Seth shouted from the back.

"No, you can't catch me. I can run faster than you! You're a loser!" I shouted and ran towards the backyard of the mansion. Our house was quite big. It was huge. Well, sometimes you can get lost too.

We were playing hide and seek. My elder brothers and I. I needed to find a hiding place, so I decided on the laundry room. There was no one there then, so it was a nice place. I kept hiding there until I heard some shuffling behind me. What my childish mind thought of first was to be an animal, and I was terrified of animals. Like, I can't even pet a dog or cat. I was scared, so I left the room and started running toward the living room. What shocked me was the darkness that engulfed our extremely lighted house. It had never happened before. I called out.

"Mom, are you there?" I asked. No reply.

I thought crossed my mind that they were playing me. Maybe my loser brothers are trying to scare me.

"Seth Kevin, where are you guys?" I asked and still got no reply. Now, this was getting scary. I started to cry.

Something shattered with so much force that it shook me to my core. The sound came from the upper floor. If you are sane enough, you will run away, but I probably realized I wasn't when I ran upstairs.

Suddenly the lights went on.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ANGELINA!" Everyone shouted. My friends, aunts, everyone was there. Seth and Kevin were smiling like idiots, and mom and dad were standing in front, grinning. I hugged them.

"Thank you so much, mom dad. I love you guys," I said.

"Oh no, thank your brothers who arranged it all," they said, and I gasped.

"Did you? O my God, I can't believe my brothers, who can't even get a glass of water for themselves, this did for me!" I shouted.

"Shut up, Lina! Come and hug me," Seth called, and I rushed towards him, and Kevin joined. After we cut the cake, it was time to open the presents. I got many gifts. Kevin got me a beautiful bracelet, whereas Seth got me a guitar. I loved playing it. I got dresses, shoes, and bags, and I loved them.

Last but not least my parent's present was the most beautiful. It was a locket. A large diamond in between and Ruby's covering the sides. It was stunning.

"Can you help me put it on?" I asked mom.

"Yeah, come here," she patted the seat by her. After placing it on my neck, she told me something.

"Whenever you see it, you'll remember us," she said.
When I turned it around, it had something written on the back in a language I couldn't understand. "mom, what does it say?" I asked, eyeing it closely.
