Moonflower Mystique

Chapter 1

"Golderine wake up " Aunt Mariam said. I cover my self and ears with my blanket .Aunt Mariam open curtains and windows ,it is still dark but she opens windows what if a clown comes in and kill me .

"Sweetie you know you have to go to school today ,wake up" She said as she pulled my blanket .

"I hate my life , give me more minutes " I said so as I closed my eyes.

"Golderine Scarlet Grande, Wake the fuck up or you will be late for bus and school and you need to go out side and greet the sun ." Ohh well there she goes talking about the "Sun"not forget to slam the door on her way out of my bedroom.

I look at the time and it is five am in the morning and the bus arrives at 7 am at the bus stop . My Aunt Mariam likes to make drama out of the blue. Every day in my life I wake up at 5 am no matter it is a weekend ,a holiday or a week . I have to wake up or I'll feel her wrath of talking non stop complaining and when the sun comes out I have to stand out side and let it hit my face , body and toes till it reaches ground. How stupid is that , standing outside just to waste my time in the name of greeting the sun . She says it is for beauty ,but I get irritated just standing outside the house for sun and looking like I'm lost or bloody fool.

Not to mention this bloody neighbor's kids they will look as if I came here ,in my garden to steal . Then call me a "Thee Unwanted One" at school after all they say I'm the cursed one . But what can I do ,I really don't blame them mom died after giving birth to me , dad died of lighting before he got to hold me on my birth day. I mean the way I look at it it is a curse ,there is no way bad things can happen on the same day ,the day I was born and same hour . So they are right to say I'm cursed. My Aunt does not even know that I don't even take a bus ,I chose to walk for 1 hour instead of taking a bus .Those teens are lousy.

Anyway let me get ready before I get shouted, I take a bath instead of a shower , after all a get inside of a bath with my full body washing my hair inside it . I take 14 minutes of bathing and get out . I dry my body and lotion it . After I wash my face before wearing anything , lotion it . I wore my school uniform . A white T-shirt with Blue skirt and white short socks with black shoes . I wore my blue tie and blue blazer. I did a ponytail, curled it and combed it a little bit to make it big and long instead of small and long .Fixed my bed ,and took my eyeglasses, walked to kitchen and met with Aunt Mariam pouring juice into glasses.

"Finally you came I wondered if you were still sleeping , because i have already done making breakfast."Aunt said so as she handed me a plates and a juice .

"I was just curling my hair ,Mary" That's how I call her "Mary " nice , short and sweet . But she ain't sweet.

"Golderine sweet heart eat fast and go outside to greet the sun ,you don't want to miss it it is good for beauty and growth ." There she goes again it has been 17 years of my life since greeting the sun .Yep when I was a baby she took me outside but when I started to become more clever,smart and can wash dishes I started to greet the sun alone .

"Aunt now it is 05:49 it wil rise after 6 minutes before 6am .Don't hurry me Mary or food will choke me ,and if it chokes me who will take care of you?" I gave her a smile and puppy eyes while looking at her.

"Take care of who ,I have been taking care of you since you were born and I'll continue doing so or do you think I am aging fast , I'll never look like a granny in my life , I will age like a fine wine ,old but strong smell of fragrance and sweeter. You talk as if I am a granny who could no longer walk. " Aunt says so then eat her pancakes while looking at me .

"Aging like a fine wine ,I don't be live you will age anytime sooner and you are 30years , should you be showing signs of aging instead of becoming a teen , Mary what ever you are using I want to use it when I reach 30 years like you ." I stuffed my mouth with pan cake .

She chuckled while looking at me . "It is not about using products to look young ,it is about who are you ,what you have in your blood and how long can one live .Kiddo you won't understand what I'm saying but when you turn 18 years you will understand ."

I just nodded my head and finished eating ,and went outside to do the greet the sun . The sun slowly raised and I just stood there feeling the cold air in the garden while enjoying it . Sun slowly started to hit my face with it's warmth ,soon my body and the house behind me then the ground . I lifted my head up and saw one of our neighbor kids staring at me from his window ,what it is called again Steve Rosenberg . The Rosenberg hates me with their blood and they made sure that other people and families hates me . Even my Aunt now inherit the hate . But as long I pass all of my subjects this year, then next year I will be finishing school . I want to apply for a college that is far away from this hell of a Raven's Peak and sell my parents house , start a new life with Aunt Mariam.

Now I feel the hotness of the sun , of cause it is spring and it is hot . I went inside the house packed my books inside my backpack and lunch inside backpack. Took money and went to look for Mary in the kitchen to tell her that I'm leaving but was stopped .

"Before you leave sit here so that I can apply make up so that you face can be less appealing." She likes to apply make up on my face to make me look ugly but it does not work instead it makes me look different, with different beauty. I can never look ugly in my life ,I can even look beautiful with scar on my face even more sexy . She likes painting freckles on my face but still look beautiful.She is done now I put on my eyes glasses and i look like a sensitive , soft nerd who looks weak but beautiful.

I tell her good bye and start to take a long 1 hour walk rushing myself because if I slow down I might as well return, after all I'm hated there . And I don't want to be late.
