CHAPTER 1

We always travel by Umbrella up here. You just open up your umbrella and hold on tight. But opening for any other purpose isn't worth it. It's built for riding the winds and nothing else.

From where I'm sitting in my bedroom it looks ornate. Floor to ceiling floral wallpaper and a similar bedspread. My bed was Queen sized with black throw pillows to contrast the bright bedspread. A study table with a kerosine lamb above it and my carpet bag atop it sits beside a bookshelf filled with dusty volumes of the classics and a few books I've collected here and there. On the other side of the study desk a tall wardrobe stands. A tall lamp stands on the other side of the room and beside the door is four small little golden bells attached to a wallpapered box.

If the first bell rings Mother needs me. Second Aunt Briana needs me, third Aunt Kaytee and her son-the only son since Grandmother Mary herself-Micheal needs me and fourth Grandmother Mary needs me. Usually to give me my new ward-or wards.

The clouds merge together strongly up here. Sturdy for a Poppins at least. Our houses are cherry striped and white stoned. Of course there's only 14 of us.

There's the Grand Manor which Grandmother Mary stays in. Grandma Lucy stays in with her there aswell, along with Great Aunt Diana Mom, Me and my sister Tiana stay in our own little house. With cookie cutter gables and drab furniture.

My father, Grandfather, Uncles, Great Uncles, Great Grandfathers and the like live with their dopplegangers and usually keep Micheal with them but often they stay in the estate we hold in the English countryside instead of our homes in the sky.

I sat up on my bed and preceded to straighten my hair. It was light brown with forever waves. I had round cheeks, pink lips, a small nose and bright blue, curious eyes. I was wearing a black circle skirt and a white blouse right now. My hair was pulled up in a ponytail and my face free of any makeup eccept for mascara and pink-tinted lip balm.

I sit on my bed looking through stack of pictures. My wards I've taken care of each smile up at me in the 20 some pictures. Some were from photobooths, a few from cameras and one or two were poloroids. None the less I have pictures of each of them. The little boys and girls in need of care.

Right now fourth bell is ringing. Which means Grandmother needs me. Hopefully to give me a new ward. I've been off duty for months. I'm so bored up here, no people (other than my charming family)
