to let go.

I was confused and scared about this whole thing.

I walked back to the room, not talking to Jason or even make eye contacts.

"Vanessa, I -" Jason said, but I interrupted him.

"I don't want to hear it, I am tired." I said, "Just leave me alone."

"Ok, just one thing, you don't have to take the new medicine if you don't want to. I am talking to dad about this." he said and held my arms.

I hate how he always touches me and I hate how he is being so kind like he don't notice my coldness.

"STOP BOTHERING ME!" I said, "And I am going to take the medicine."

He looked at me. I looked at him and walked to the sit on the window.

My life is so messed up right now I thought and frowned.

My eyes skimmed over the forest.

I wonder What is in that forest? It seems so mysterious

Different Lifestyle

 

~~

The sun was shine and I decided that I need a shower.

I got up and went to grab a shirt and pant.

I headed towards the bathroom, but the moment I was about to close the door, the door flew open. There was loud giggling and I was nearly knocked over.

There were maidens in the bathroom, giggling or setting up something. I raised my eyebrow.

"Umm," I said and everyone turned to me, but they were still giggling and talking, "excuse me, this is the bathroom and I'm planning to take - AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" I screamed.

I swear this is the craziest thing that happened to me. One of the maiden stepped forward and started undressing me.

"WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING?" I screamed, but this time everything stop. The bathroom was silence and you could hear a pin drop from the basket that a maid was holding.

"What do you mean, sweetheart?" one of the maid asked.

"What are you doing in the bathroom? I am trying to take a shower." I said.

This is totally weird. The weirdest moment in my whole life I thought.

"What do you mean? We help you, we -" another one of the maid said, but I interrupted.

"I can take a shower on my own. I don't need any help." I told them.

"We were hired to help you. We can't just sit around and do nothing. We get paid for this. We are your personal make - up artist, personal spa worker, make - over agent, personal cloth maker, dress preparer . . ." they went on and on and on, about what they do. I rolled my eyes.

Does this family suffer this every day? I thought. I sighed. 

I guess I have to deal with it

"So??? What is all this about???" I asked and sat on the side of the bath tub.

"Well," said another maid, "we are supposed to make you look perfect tonight. The first dinner with the king, queen and prince.

I stared at them.

"Who?" I asked them.

"The king, queen and prince." said the maid. She makes it sound like I am stupid.

"Ok, I know, but who are they??" I asked them.

"You know Mr. Cohen??? He is the king. Mrs. Cohen, the queen and Jason, the prince." They said.

I gasped, this was weird.

We are all of them. Jason's voice echo in my head. Now I get what Jason means. 

Maybe he is a royalty.

I am starting to have a feeling this is coming more and more true.

The ugly truth.

I knew from these days on, my life will never be consider as normal.

"King and queen of what?" I asked, "And is it true that they are werewolf?" I asked quietly. I really want to find out the true and I don't want to pretend like I am listening to a fantasy story. I just want them to tell me that this whole thing is not true.

"Don't be silly, of course they are," one of the maid said.

"Ok, sweetheart, let's not worry about these things. We have to get you ready for the big night." another maid said.

Everything was set up; the bathtub was filled and full of bubbles. The make - up was set up on the sink, the towel, bathrobe and slipper were ready.

"Did you pick this outfit?" one of the maiden said. I looked at her and nodded.

"I can't believe - I mean, I am going to help you pick another outfit," said the said and I can tell she was my dress preparer or personal cloth maker.

This is so richy I thought, I can't believe this was all happening.

I told the maid to go out and come back later when I am finished with my bath.

The maid went out and I got in the tub.

I was starting to relax, letting all of the stress out, but again, the maid came in giggling. I sighed.

Are they always like this? So teen. I said and rolled my eyes.

The maid gather around me and started there job. They were taking my hair and washing it with this green thing and rubbing it with these green leaves. Another started messaging my shoulders and putting these long, black oval stones on my shoulders. My muscular was starting to relax a little, it was good. Than another maid, grabbed my hand and started messaging my arms, hand and finger. Another maid was messaging my feet and using these cool, ooze that makes your feet feels good. I was glad I am not ticklish there, I really like this whole thing, but I don't know their names.

"Hey, guys, I really like this whole thing, but can I know your names?" I asked, it was awkward, because I was interrupting there giggling and gossips.

"I'm Valerie, I am your make - up artist." said the one working with my hair.

"I am Sunny," said the maid that complained about the outfit, "I am your dress preparer."

"I am Vicky, I am your personal spa worker," said the one messaging my shoulders.

"I am Beth, I am your massager and personal clothes designer," said the one messaging my arms, hands and fingers.

I nodded. Than at the next second, they started chatting again. They act like I have never asked for their names.

These girls could probably talk all day long. At some point of the conversation, I would catch a few words.

"Oh my god, James would be coming over in a few days! Well, that is what I've heard." said Sunny.

"Who's James?" I asked them.

"Oh, he is Jason's brother, but he moved out of the house." said Sunny.

I nodded. The next second, they started talking and working again.

"I heard that he found his girl." said Valerie.

"Where did he met her?" Beth asked.

"Well, he meet her at work. She is new to the work place and he was her tour guide. That must be so romantic." Valerie said dreamily.

All the girl sighed at the same time. I frowned and rolled my eyes.

Are they always like this? I thought.

"I heard that they make - out on the first day." Valerie said and everyone giggled.

"Is she human??" Vicky asked. I frowned, I felt like it was an insult, like they must separate human and werewolves. They also act like I am not here, even though I am not fully human.

"Oh, I heard that she is a human." said Valerie.

"What are the king and queen going to do about it??" asked Sunny.

"Well, they tried to convince James to break up with her. But he doesn't agree with it." Valerie said.

I was listening to their whole conversation. Maybe I can learn something about their family.

"That's bad." said Vicky.

"Yeah, I know right." said Valerie, "the king is planning to invent something that could change her into a werewolf."

I gasped.

Everyone stopped talking and look at me like I never exist in their world.

"Really??" I asked, "That is a pretty big thing to do and she doesn't know that werewolves exist in the world."

"Yeah, we know, but James loves her enough to marry her. And in the world of werewolf, it is forbidden for werewolves to marry human." Beth said, "So that's the only way for them to be together."

My eyes widen.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cohen could take care of everything." Beth said, "He is good at inventing medicines."

"Inventing???" I asked.

"Yeah, Mr. Cohen is a scientist. He always invents medicines like these." Vicky said.

Wow!! I met a scientist that is rich and a royalty I thought.

"I also heard that the girl's ancestor are werewolves, but her parents not." Valerie continued to talk.

These girls do know awfully a lot of gossips.

Sunny quickly glanced at her watch and gasped.

"Oh no!!! We have to hurry!!! The dinner is almost starting!!! We only have 1 hour and a half to get ready!!!" Sunny exclaimed.

"We don't need to hurry. We have plenty of time left." I said, "I take only 20 minutes to dress!"

Everything stopped and they gasped like I said the worse thing in the whole world.

"What?!" I said, "I do."

"Oh no, you did not just - I mean, really??" Sunny said.

"Yeah, what's the problem with that?" I asked her.

"Nothing, I didn't know there was people that takes only 20 minutes to - "

"No time, we have to hurry." Vicky said.

They quickly wrapped everything up and walked out the door to let me wear my bathrobe.

I opened the door and they quickly took my hand to set me down in front of the mirror.

I looked in the mirror. I looked different, instead of just night black hair, my hair was shiny and it looks soft. I even looked more relaxed than usual. I felt like it was magic that washed over me, making me beautiful in just a second. I smiled at the girl in front of me. It was hard to believe that girl was me.

The maid didn't even have the time for them to look at me in the mirror; they just worked and worked and worked - still talking. I didn't even listen to what they were saying this time. I was just staring at the mirror, who become more and more beautiful each second. They helped me put on a light dress that aren't too fancy. Than they helped me put on my make - up.

"You're done!" exclaimed Valerie. She beamed at all of her hard work on the make - up.

"Oh, thank you, I never - how can I thank you?" I asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I could do this everyday." said Valerie.

"No, you don't have to. That's a lot of work." I said, feeling like I am asking too much.

"Oh, no! We have 10 more minutes left." exclaimed Vicky.

"I've got the shoe!" exclaimed Sunny, who rushed in the room, holding my shoe high up in the air.

"High heels?" I asked.

They nodded.

"No, I can't," I said, "I can't walk on high heels."

"I'll try to find another pair, ok?" Sunny said and ran out the room. I really don't walk on heels. There was this one time when I was trying to walk on heel, but I end up twisting my ankle.

She ran back in with a pair of flats. "Here."

I quickly slipped it on and they lead my down the stair, down to the dining room.

Everyone was there waiting for me.

"Sorry for the delay." I said looking at Mr. and Mrs. Cohen.

"It's ok," Jason said and my eyes drifted over to meet his. I stared at him for a few second, before he got up and helped me to my seat.

I felt weird. I felt like
