Chapter 21: Phone call

Meanwhile, the two males of the house, where in Emilié's room playing dress up, deciding which dress she should wear.

Their final choice was between a furry white dress with bunny tail and a light blue lacy one that was inlaid with stones.

Right now, Leevi in his mini tuxedo and red bow was in a look-down contest with his father.

"She has to wear the white dress, that is cuter than the one with the broken stones!" Leevi insist.

His wish was for Emilié to wear the furry dress, but Sasha, in the same kinda tuxedo as Leevi, disagrees.

"Broken stones! Boy, you need to learn about life! That's a special manufactured dress from Italy with pure blue sapphires. How can that furry piece of cloak compare to that?!"

"What saph- saph..sa- whatever! Just some broken stones, the fur can at least keep you warm by this freezing weather." Leevi argued.

"What freezing weather?! We are indoors, no one freezes there!"

Emilié stood aside and looked at the two identical clothed, big- and small-fool; her mouth twitched from how they bickered and made such a drama because of a dress she only needed to wear for some hours.

And as an adult, Sasha was really pushing it, they kept on arguing, their heads already smoking out from the stubborness of the other ones.

Emilié just shook her head, what headstrong man her family had; it was truly a funny affair to see.

Then the two cute fools turned their head shouting at the same time at Emilié, catching her off guard.

""THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT TO WEAR, EMILIÉ?""

Emilié snapped out her passive observant state and was pulled in the dress drama.

What she should choose? It is winter, it is cold, that blue dress had nothing to give her warmth, even though they are going to be indoors, she liked to have it cozy.

She finds her big brother is smart and thoughtful when it comes to such occasions.

She was going to point her finger at the white one, when she sensed Sasha's intense stare at her.

What was he staring her down for? It is his fault for picking the wrong dress, she won't show him favour and be cold the whole evening.

She decisively marched over to Leevi grabbing the white dress and gave Leevi a kiss on the cheek, showing him, his choice was the best.

"Yes, I won!" Leevi cheered about his victory.

"Emilié!" cried Sasha out hurt. He felt betrayed, how could she choose that smelly brat over him and even give him a kiss!

Did she not see his pearly white theeth when he smiled and his cleanly shaved beard to have a better snuggle experience with her.

Well, the last time he huged her, Emilié endet up biting him to escape, her whole cheek was red from the beard rubbing, that she had to apply cream for the redness to reside.

Emilié swiveled away her head, paying no more attention to that foolish father of hers and brought the dress to the dressing room to change.

While she was dressing with the help of a maid, a phone rang.

It was Sasha's.

He fished his phone out his pocket and looked at the caller, seeing that persons name on his display he was slightly surprised but answered it.

Sasha <Hello....yeah, what a surprise! Never thought you will be the one to call me. ...So what's up, how can I help you?.... Emilié?">

They talked a while and when Emilié's name came to mouth, the person in question came out fully dressed. She only heard her name, did someone want something from her?

Sasha <Yeah, wait a second, I will give her to you.>

She looked questionably to Sasha, who gave her the phone. Someone wanted to speak with her? She did not know anyone who had a reason to call her.

<Emilié, Happy Birthday...>

Came a soft voice, gentle and calming, it was no other then Emilié's nanny, Claudia!

Emilié smiled like a fool. Ohhh, how she has missed her! The nights were so desolate and cold, no arms to wrap around her to give her warmth, no soothing lullababies and no movie days were she sprawled on her lap and let Claudia stroke her head.

Emilié opened her mouth, she wanted to say how much she missed her, but no words came out.

As if that morning with Sasha was a fluke.

However, she indeed had not attempted to speak once more, even through Sasha tried to coax her many times.

She run to the table, tapping on it many times to show how happy she was to hear from her.

'tap' 'tap' 'tap 'tap'

<Ok, ok, I understand you are excited to hear from me.> Claudia said with a laugh.

<Oww my poor ears, if I had known I would have distanced myself from the phone, but well, it's good to know I am missed over there.>

Don't know why, but listening to Claudia's complainig, Emilié had to giggle, this was the first in this life, that she has done such a common thing, like talking with someone over the phone.

With her laugh she lured another chuckle out of Claudia, lifting Claudia's mood by a lot. <Haha, hearing you giggle so cute I want to rush over immediately and give you a firm hug, but that has to wait until tomorrow. 'sigh' I really miss you.>

Again a barrage of 'tap' sounds assaulted Claudia's ears.

'tap' 'tap' 'tap 'tap'

Emilié catched on to the keyword 'tomorrow' and taped again. Claudia will be back!? Was her mother back to health? She was gone now for some weeks, she was really hoping she hadn't misheard. She had missed Claudia really dearly.

<Oww, oww, Emilié calm down. As I said I will be back tomorrow and I got a nice gift for you, so look forward to it.> Claudia said.

'tap' 'tap' 'tap 'tap'

Emilié again tapped on the table.

Claudia thought Emilié wished to know what the gift was and denied her request. <Nope, I am not going to tell you what it is; then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, you have to wait, but.. I assure you, you will love it.> She said with a confident tone.

"..."

Actually, Emilié wanted to ask about the well-being of her mother, but failed miserably in it. Oh well, that was ok, she could ask her when she gets home.

<Emilié, I have to go now, I wish you a Happy Birthday. See you.> Came the soothing voice of Claudia for the last time...

'click'

and so Claudia endet the phone call.

Emilié gave back the phone to Sasha.

At the beginning, she wasn't that much looking forward to the Birthday party, but now she wanted to have a fun evening, for the time to pass faster to see Claudia.

"Seems like you're in a happy mood, that's good, now you can enjoy yourself more today." Sasha noticed Emilié's happy mood, which was not that hard to see.

"Yep, Emilié is so cute when she laughs and smiles. Emilié should always keep that up."

Chimed the childish voice of Leevi, who watched at the side and saw Emilié's crazy mood changes on the phone; from suspicious to giggling to happy to slapping crazily on the table.

That was definitiv a rare sight, for him to see his cute little sister go so hyper.

Being watched at the side made Emilié blush.

Oh no, oh no, she completely forgot, she was not the only one in the room, for what kind of a fool did she make herself look like and just some time ago she called them a fool.

Foolishness must be running in their bloods.

Then a maid came in saying the first guests arrived, destroying the short lived family moment and all of them made their way to the entrance of the ballroom, to welcome the guests.

Last Chapter I tried using 'is' and 'are', if you noticed, I found that confusing, so I will change it back to 'was' and 'were' for the future Chapters, that is easier for me.

Chapter 22: Children society

While Sasha and Bethea greeted the guest and be good hosts of the day, the children were in their part of the ballroom and astonished about the gigantic rabbit balloons, and sweet looking decorations and a bouncy castle.

Normally, any kind of party rich people gave had some class in it, whatever theme they choose now. However, this one Sasha arranged seemed different, it was more centered to be fun for the kids with a carousel, swings and a range of games.

Emilié had no idea how Sasha brought all this stuff in the ballroom and made her day, but he did an awesome job, she will go and have her fair share of fun now.

On the other hand, the children from good households have learned to be reserved and first and foremost congratulate the birthday kids bevor having some fun with their friends.

Even though, they were overwhelmed by the dazzling sight from the offered attractions.

Since their parents are strict when it comes to amusements and did not tolerate childish behavior in any way, even though THEY ARE CHILDREN!

With such kind of discipline they want them to grow up as highly respectable members of society and not become a second- or third-generation wastrel.

So, Valentin and Leevi were surrounded by their friends and other guests kids' who wished them a happy birthday. They didn't know who Emilié was, so no one approached her and since Valentin and Leevi talked with their friends, they forgot about her.

Not that she minded, she went and played some games minding her own business.

The kids talked about the hobbies they had picked up lately like flower arranging, horse riding or chess, their daily lessons they had to attend and which method of teaching their teachers used, what method was better or which teacher was better; talks no ordinary kids in their ages should be thinking or talking about.

While talking Valentin looked around searching for someone but she couldn't find the person she was trying to find. So she went to the tall boy next to Leevi.

He was the grandson of old Seven, Kyle Grandfield, who was two years older then Leevi, his hair was a reddish brown with piercing light brown eyes, one could already feel that this boy practiced martial arts and was honing his skills.

What was to be expected by a member of the Grandfields. His grandfather, Seath Grandfield was in his military years fighting together with Clyde Evans, so they became friends and brought their grandchildren often together, so these kids grew up close to each other.

But not Emilié, since she was never allowed to meet any outsiders, other then some servants and her doctor, who gives her regular check ups.

"Big brother Kyle" disrupted Valentin the talk between Leevi and him. "Do you know where Chrissy is? I searched for her but I couldn't find her."

Kyle's face slightly flushed red by Valentin's approach. "Hmm.. Christine? She is at home. Aunty said she had gotten a sudden fever this morning so she couldn't come. The weather is chilly after all, if you're not carefull you'll get ill too." He said with concern.

Christine or in short Chrissy, was the cousin of Kyle. Chrissy's father, is his father's younger brother, so Kyle knew what was going on in their household.

"What she is sick and that today!" She exclaimed. "Ohh man, 'sigh' and I wanted to have some fun with her." She muttered silently while giving a glance at Emilié.

Noticing her glance, Kyle followed her sight and saw a cute black haired girl in a white dress with a fluffy bunny tail.

He became curious. Who was she? He doesn't remember having ever seen her. "Who is that? I don't think I ever saw her around. Someone's child who newly climbed the ladder? Or why else don't I know a cute girl like her." He asked.

"C-Cute!" Valentin stuttered. How could her big brother Kyle take a fancy on that idiot and call her cute. She had to clear off big brother Kyle's misunderstanding. "Hmph! Cute? Not at all! She is just a fool who brings bad luck everywhere she goes."

"Valentin, that is not nice to say about someone you don't know yet." Kyle reprimanded her at the bad conduct Valentin gives off.

If it was someone else who did that, Valentin would have snapped at that person, but since it was her big brother Kyle she didn't take it much to heart. He always spoiled her, she knows he doesn't mean it and only says it as a show, as her elder brother.

"Don't know her! Big brother Kyle that's my useless younger sister Emilié." She talked in a louder voice for all the kids around her to hear. "Who doesn't know, she is a fool who can't even say a word and brings everwhere she goes misfortune. It is even told that a man servant broke his leg because of her."

Exclamations from the kids surrounding them came, they were shocked, how a cute girl could be so bad. They initially noticed her too and wanted to approach her later on, but now they'd rather keep a distance.

"What! Such a cute face would do something so malicious!?" exclaimed a boy.

"I knew it! She already looked like an evil girl." said a jealous girl, who thought Emilié looked better than her.

And an overprotective brother took his sister by the hand and stood in front of her as if he is her guard dog. "I will remember to stay away from her. Tiffany you too don't go near her either, we don't want to play with bad girls."

"Valentin! Stop it, that's mean!" Leevi tells her off. "Stop talking bad about our sister on our birthday!"

"What! It's not like I'm lying." Valentin grumbled.

"Ughh..still, stop it." Leevi was slightly speechless cause Valentin was right. Indeed someone broke his leg because he was pushed down the stairs.

But, Valentin was lying, it was not Emilié who pushed him down and let him break his leg, it was Valentin herself.

At that time, Valentin was angry at the man servant for being a bit tardy and pushed him down the stairs when he showed her his back and conveniently, Emilié was some steps behind her and she could pin everything on her.

Even when Emilié tried to convey that it wasn't her, no one believed her, not even the man servant who was the one pushed and most have known it was Valentin and not her. Alas, she was pinned down with another misbehaviour and some stories that showed what a bad seed she was.

Meanwhile, Emilié played enough and sat at a table, enjoying some snacks and watching the children badmouth her.

She was at the start a bit uncomfortable as an adult in soul and body of a child, to be in a group of snotty kids; who mimicked the same bearing their parents had, which according to her opinion looked hilarious.

Milk Buns who played grown ups! Even though they're not out the phase, of crapping in their pants and peeing on their beds.

Just thinking about that she has to chuckle.

Yep, today's a fun day!

But since Valentin destroyed every chance for her to interact normally with them, she didn't care anymore about that and looked forward to what she is going to play later on with. The bouncy castle looked really fun so she'd gonna try that later.

Afterall, if she already had a small body she'd use it to the fullest extent. As kids they should enjoy themselves while they can and Emilié used up all this opportunity, she was in a kids body, so she will do stuff 'normal' kidos would do.

Finished charging up energy she went for a round in the bouncy castle.

Leevi feeling bad for having talked behind Emilié's back, decided to take his friends to the bouncy castle too and playing together with Emilié. He introduced his friends to her and let her officially debut in their children society.

Seeing Leevi still interacting with Emilié, Valentin pouted her mouth. How could she have such an unsensible goody two-shoes in her family.

She put herself up in a bad light to drown Emilié in the spittle of the other children, but she wasn't satisfied at all she wanted more. She wanted to see Emilié's face distorted in pain, she wanted some kind of reaction from the cool headed girl.

Once Leevi leaves her side, she will catch this little rat called sister and teach her a lesson.

Truly, Bethea wasn't a good influence on Valentin, her malice rubbed off on her child pretty badly.

Valentin's heart was quite twisted for her age, overflowing with a jealousy, that even she herself couldn't describe.

She had everything she wanted, so what was the problem with her and Emilié?
