Chapitre 1: The Start

C͜͡O͜͡L͜͡U͜͡M͜͡B͜͡U͜͡S͜͡, O͜͡H͜͡I͜͡O͜͡, E͜͡A͜͡R͜͡T͜͡H͜͡

Rᴇʙᴇᴋᴀʜ'ᴤ ᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴠɪᴇᴡ:

"Ladies and gentlemen please welcomes to show, Rebekah Stevenson." I grab a plain white top out of the cupboard and walk to the long mirror on the wall opposite my dark brown, wooden dressing table.

"Thank you so much for having me here. The pleasure is ours, having the new soul singer member with us. So, how do you feel after winning the audition? Well to be honest, I am over the moon." I hold the top close to my chest dreamily." I am beyond happy. I have always adored the soul singers, it's always been my dream to be on stage; performing and now I'm actually going to perform with my favourite artists."

Bang bang bang! I starter at the knocking sound on my door and snap out of my fantasies.

"Yeah," I put on the top as quickly as I can.

"Are you done?" Mom shouts, "time is going,"

"Yeah, almost."

"Okay."

Footstep sounds move further and further.

"Oh man," I mumble and hurry to the dressing table. Well, let's just say I got a little carried away with my daily routine of imagination.

I loosen my messy pigtails as quickly as I can, comb it, then I part my dark brown hair in the middle and leave it loose.

I hurry up from the chair; grab my bag on my single bed and head downstairs. On the way I meet, Twinkle walking up.

"Oh hey, Twinkle."

He turns and runs down with me.

"Don't forget to buy me some of those fish biscuits today, Rebekah, It goes well with my milk."

"Okay Twinkle, I won't. Go on now before mom hears us speaking."

"Why? The psychologist saw nothing wrong with you,"

Twinkle is my cat, his name is kind of a long story. At first he hated it, it sounded too "girly", but he learnt to like it. And yes, I can speak to animals, my mom used to know about it but she thought there was something wrong with me, so she took me to the psychologist. They asked questions, did tests, and gave me some medication—it never worked. I pretended that I stop talking to them, but I actually still do.

"Shh…"

I slow down as I arrive at the kitchen entrance and he runs on to the chair at the dining table. My Mom pours a mixture into the pan, with her blonde, thin hair tied up into a ponytail. Twinkle licks his white and black fur.

"Morning." I pull a chair out.

Lifting and dropping plates in search of something, she responds, "Morning."

I was born in a mixed race family, my Mom is "white" and my dad was "black". It wasn't easy growing up in a world where people are defined by their colour.

I put my bag down next to my chair and sit.

Mom does her best to make sure I have almost everything I need. She doesn't have a cape or superpowers, but she is my super Mom. She managed to raise me and my sister all by herself after dad passed away in a plane accident, then later my little sister followed, she just got sick another day, went to sleep, and never woke up. I don't actually remember how they looked, I only see them on the pictures on the wall.

"Are you ready for school?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it for the world" I giggle

"With the way you love school, I don't think I should be worried about your results," she grabs a plate of pancakes on the kitchen counter.

"Nope."

I'm the only person Mom has, and she's the only person that I have, that's why I work hard so that I can take care of her one day, spoil her and just…make her proud.

I carefully grab the plate from her hands . "Thank you." I place my plate of pancakes on the table in front of me. I can already taste the sweetness of this irresistible smell.

"Here's one for you Twinkle." She places a small plate on the floor with a piece of pancake.

"Thanks Mom." He jumps off the chair and runs to the plate. It sounded more like, meow.

***

I can feel a sense of satisfaction on my tongue as I chew this last piece of this deliciousness.

"Not even a small piece left," my mom giggles

"You know I love pancakes." I get up with my plate in my hands heading to the sink.

"You can say that again." Twinkle licks his mouth with his tongue.

"And that's why I always make them," she says, as I place the plate in the sink.

"And that's why I love you," I turn to her

"Oh, so you love me because I make you pancakes?"

I laugh

"No." I shake my head with a grin on my face.

She smiles, "I'm just messing with you."

I walk to the dinner table and grab my bag, as she finishes off the last piece of pancake on her plate.

"I can drop you if you want." she gets up.

"No, I'll be fine."

She smiles, "Okay then."

I walk closer and hug her, "I'll see you later,"

"Be safe,"

I let her go, "I will."

Thankfully I don't live that far from my school so walking isn't much of a problem, and besides, I want to save money.

Rᴇʙᴇᴋᴀʜ'ᴤ ᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴠɪᴇᴡ:

When I get to school my friends are already waiting for me, Sera and Micah. We've been friends since last year, It's our second year at Riverview University. What a coincidence that we're all studying psychology. I must say, Sera looks breath taking, as always.

"Morning," I greet each of them with a quick hug

"Morning, Bex," Micah says

"Oh, my goodness," I admire Sera before hugging her. "You look stunning."

"Thank you…" she cutely poses for us in her white; cut out shoulder top tucked in a brown leather skirt with a small slit and finished off with white lace-up ankle boots.

***

We are to the bench area after general psychology class.

"Rebekah, are you okay?" Alina asks as we walk to the bench area after general psychology class.

"Yeah...I'm just thinking about this strange dream I had night," I say

"What dream?" Sera inquires

"Its…weird, there's this dark, damaged castle and statues of people scattered everywhere, the place looks so real but too…not normal to be true, it doesn't look like any place on earth, at least I don't think so," I explain. Sera and Micah look at each other strangely before looking back at me.

"That's…strange…" Sera says

"Yeah,"

"Maybe...it's just a creation of your imagination," Micah contributes

"Maybe, I shouldn't bother myself, dreams are just dreams," I smile

"Ye…p, I guess," Micah says.

Rᴇᴤᴇᴅᴀ'ᴤ ᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴠɪᴇᴡ:

Teva and I are the only female guardians left here in Elphia. Cari and Alina are in the human world to help boost Harmony's power. By being close to her, they can share little bits of their energy to Harmony so that when the time is right, she can be able to teleport back here. I wish they could just share the energy all at once, but they can't...Harmony's body might not be able to handle it.

Ever since the headmistress sent Cari and Alina, everyone has just been busy training. Teva and I are fighting against each other for practice, while Mrs Harvil watches. Once Harmony comes back, Mrs. Harvil will be focused on training Harmony, this is our only time.

"Okay girls, time for your break. You did well," says Mrs. Harvil.

"I feel like ice cream," I say.

"Me too," Heala adds. Teva and I laugh.

"I thought you only ate energy," Teva says

It's Finally after school.

"That wasn't so bad," I say

"yeah, I knew almost all of the answers. It's Just that last question that knocked me out," Sera says

"The one that asked, what is hedonism?

"Yeah," Sera says

"It is the pursuit of pleasure above all else. A hedonist does not care for laws or relationships unless they help them pursue their desired. I think there was more, I don't know" I shrug my shoulders

"Oh man. Well at least I got the others right," Sera says, and Micah chuckles.

"I better get going," Micah says

"Oh, okay then," I say

"Hey, I think my mom can drop you off. I'm going to my cousin's house today," Cari offers.

"Really? That would be great."

"I'll see you guys tomorrow then," Micah says.

"See you tomorrow, Mimi," Sera says as Micah gives each of us a hug.

"Be safe," I tell her as she hugs me last.

"I will," Micah smiles and walks away to the right.

After a few minutes, Sera's mom Arrives and we both walk to the car.

"Hey mom, you got my message, right?" She asks as she gets in the back.

"Yes,"

"Hello Mrs.Davis," I greet as I get in the back behind her mom.

"Hello my dear, are you good?" She asks

"I'm fine and you?"

"I am great. Are you guys in?" She asks

"Yes." we both nod and she starts driving

***

"Thank you," I say as I get out of the car

"See you tomorrow, Bex" Sera says

"Greet your mom for me," Mrs Davis says

" I will," I smile as I close the door and move away

"Tell Emily I said hi," I say

"Don't worry, you will meet her soon," Sera says. I smile and wave at them as they drive away; Sera waves back.

I walk to my house, unlock the door and enter. My mom only comes home at 5pm, sometimes later than that.

"Man, I'm so tired," I say as I drag myself in. "and hungry," I walk down to the fridge and drop my bag on the dining table before walking to open the fridge. There's nothing interesting to make. I roll my eyes and close it.

I guess just have to make some noodles; it's the only thing that wouldn't take long to make other than a sandwich, of which I don't want a sandwich, and I don't wish to start cooking right now.

I walk to the cupboards, but before I can even open the cupboard, I start to feel like my head is spinning and everything just becomes blurry, I lean my hand on the kitchen counter and the other I rub my eyes.

I sit myself down leaning my back against the cupboards while holding my head in pain. That's when a bright light pops up in my eyes, and I start to see the same castle in the light and shadows of two people and a small child standing close to a large fountain—but the shadows are not moving. suddenly, it all just disappears and everything is back to normal.

What just happened? Who were those people in there? And...that castle…

While I am still in my thoughts, the door opens and my heart beats faster. After what just happened, I can only think of the worst.

I slowly tiptoe towards the door to check who It is, I gasp when I see the person, but luckily, it is just my mom. I place my hand on my chest.

I make my way towards her and she notices how afraid I am as she slowly closes the door, with her eyes fixed on me. She walks to me right away with suspicion

"Why do you look like you just saw a ghost?" she asks

"I- I was watching some um…horror movies last night" I nervously answer while scratching the back of my head.

I cannot tell her about my dreams or what just happened, she'd probably think I'm going crazy, I don't want her worrying about me having a mental illness or something…why is she home early though? Did they fire her?

"Oh,"

"Well your home early today," I try to act normal

"There wasn't much work at the clinic" she says and continues looking at me like she is trying to read my mind.

I have to cut the silence.

"So?...what are we having for dinner?" I smile putting my hands behind my back.

"Maybe you should choose what we must have for dinner tonight," she smiles as she walks past me and heads down to her room. I follow.

"Well...I saw a macaroni recipe on social media, I joined this group where people share recipes," I take my phone out

"Really?" She ask

"Yes, here." I bring the phone in front of her. " You know I love learning how to cook different types foods."

"Oh…that looks appetizing," she grabs the phone in her right hand.

"So?...can we?" I put on a silly smile

"Yes of course, it's been weeks since we had macaroni," she responds

"Yes!" I say with an excited tone

"First, you have to go to your singing classes, but be home on time to help with the cooking,"

"Okay " I nod, "I'll be back then" I begin to walk away

"Aren't you going to change the clothes?" she asks and I turn around

"No, this is fine" I say

"Okay, be safe!" She says

"I will!" I continue to the door.

***

I'm walking down this less occupied sidewalk, with partly build houses and few cars going back and Fourth. My stomach starts rumbling, and the man going past me hears and looks. I awkwardly smile.

"I should've eaten first." I cry

Chapitre 2: HATERS WILL HATE

I have forced myself to walk for three minutes now, there's a shop somewhere here. When I don't need a shop then it's always there but when I need it, it's like when I move it also moves. Just like the mountain.

Eventually I spot a shop by the corner.

"Tʜᴀɴᴋ ɢᴏᴏᴅɴᴇss"

I walk towards the shop, go past a red Ferrari parked outside and I enter. Immediately, my eyes land on the beef-steak pie that is laying inside the long, glass counter.

"Can I have the beef-steak pie, please," I tell the lady behind the counter in her black and red uniform.

"That will be six dollars" she says and I search in my jean pockets as she packs the pie into the white, small paper bag with the thongs. Another person stands behind me.

"oh no," my eyes widen as she places the pie on the counter for me

"I…uh…" I speechlessly look at her.

"Here," interrupts the guy that was standing behind me. He puts down ten dollars and a coke can on the counter. "keep the change."

"Thank you sir," says the lady. The mystery man grabs the pie, but when I try to take it from him, he holds it back. He stares at me with his light brown eyes.

"What's the magic word?" he asks

"seriously?..." I say. The lady looks at us.

"I won't give it then," he says

"fine," I roll my eyes "please,"

"please who?"

"I don't know you, how am I supposed to know that?"

Let's just say I'm a little irritated.

"You are supposed to ask, I helped you" he says

"What's your name?" I ask with my arms crossed and two ladies come to stand behind us.

Am I seriously asking for his name?!

"I don't think you are ready to know my name," he says as he gives me the pie. "you owe me," he adds, and walks away.

"I never asked for your help by the way!" I shout, but he continues to the red Ferrari I saw earlier.

"Next customer please," says the lady.

"Sorry." I rush out of the line and he drives off to the right.

I wouldn't be surprised if he has been arrested before, he drives like a maniac. It's probably not even his car. I stare in his direction for a while, then I continue walking forward to my left.

I can't believe a pie would be so expensive but, it tastes so magical. I don't know if it's because that guy touched it, or I am just too hungry.

***

Walking into this huge one story building, I can hear beautiful soft voices singing, and all kind of instruments playing. I then spot my friend, Abi coming out of the ladies room, she looks and walks towards me as I walk to the counter to check in my name.

"Name, please," says the friendly man behind the counter.

"Rebekah Stevenson,"

"Hey," Abi smiles.

I look to the left and grin, "hey."

"Thank you," says the lady behind the counter and I smile as I turn to Abi

"Did you just arrive now also?" I ask her as we walk forward to the classes

"No, I actually arrived ten minutes ago,"

Things on Musiana are getting worse, for 15 years it has held on with the help of Elphia and the other countries, but now it's giving up. It must not happen.

"If we loose Musiana to the menace, they could create dark music, music has the power to change people, imagine the destruction that would come upon our people in Melda," says the headmistress, as all of the guardians are seated in the meeting room. The teachers, Mrs. Harvil and Mr. Sethock are also here.

"This could affect the human world also," Liam says

"What do you suggest we do?" I ask

"We will have to bring her here sooner than it was planned," says the headmistress.

Rᴇʙᴇᴋᴀʜ'ᴤ ᴘᴏɪɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴠɪᴇᴡ:

I love singing, every time I sing I feel like I'm in a different world. I just want to sing every moment of my life, in my sadness; my happiness.

"okay ladies," the teachers says after 20 minutes of resting and getting ourselves read, "We will start off with some warm ups. I want everyone to follow after me, lala lala lala lala la…" says the class teacher and we follow.

"Lala lala lala la…" she goes even higher. We all follow and I can feel someone standing behind me, the next minute, I am on the floor.

Bernita, the daughter of the lead singer of the girl band "The Melody" and my worst enemy. She hates me, and has since the day I started coming to these classes, I don't know what her problem with me is. Is it because the teacher appointed me as the lead singer of the class and removed her, or because I'm the easiest target she could find?

My partner Abi comes and helps me up while Bernita is just laughing there with her two sidekicks. I'd love to push her back, I know that's what everyone is expecting but guess I don't like violence, I guess I just like letting things go and maintain my quite; innocent space. People must think I'm weak for not getting back at her but I don't care.

"what is going on here?" the teachers makes her way to us through the crowd of people watching.

"Why don't you ask miss bake here," Bernita says to the teacher and the teacher looks at me.

"My shoes were untied" I nervously smile and the teacher looks down at the shoes and sceptically back at me. I look down at the shoes I'm wearing.

Oh no, these are pumps! I slowly look up at her

Just tell her the truth. No. One day I wish to join her mom's band, and she knows that, if I do anything, my chances are over.

"I mean I crossed my uh…" I gulp, "my legs…and I tripped,"

"Okay…" She suspiciously looks at me, then at Bernita, "just be careful next time," she smiles

"Yes, miss," I nod

"okay class, back to warning up," says the teacher as she walks back to the front stage, and everyone goes back to warming up.

I'm too innocent, maybe I should've just pushed back and stand up for myself. I beat myself up in my head. It's not like, the melody, will ever except me into their band, there are so many talented people out there."

***

After 45 minutes of singing, Abi and I leave the building. We only pay for 45 minutes which cost about 45 dollars, but those who pay for more minutes are still inside practicing. My mom can't afford it, I guess Abi and I come from the same background—single moms. Abi's dad left when she was just 3 years-old. My dad past away in a plane crash when I was 2 years-old, he was a pilot.

"I would really love to enter into the guitar lessons soon," Abi says as she tucks her curly, black hair behind her ear. I really adore her beautiful, thick, black eye brows.

"yeah, I was also thinking of joining next year, by that time I would've learnt everything about vocals," I say

"Yeah," she enthusiastically nods with a grin. "I'll also join with you,"

" I love guitars," I fantasize about this beautiful pink guitar I've been wanting ever since I saw it in that shop. I guess you could say pink is my favourite colour. Call it "childish" or "girly". I just love it, it's beautiful.

"My mom bought me this black, stylish guitar. I thought learning I guitar would be easy but…it was awful playing it," she laughs

"Wow," I grin with radiance at her, "I've also been dreaming of buying one,"

"Then we could practice together," she smiles

I like Abi, she was the first person that welcomed me at the school, and she's the only friend I have there. I can't believe she spent all this time alone there like a sheep amongst wolves but she didn't care, she just wanted to learn and get better at singing.

"Oh yeah, I'll be going this side," she points to the right

"oh, I almost forgot," we stop walk on the sidewalk opposite the tuck shop where I bought the pie from.

" I'll see you," she says,

"Bye" I wave with a smile.

She crosses the road and walks on, but I still got a little more walking to do.

As I continue my journey home, I start to feel like something is behind me. I turn around in fear to see what it is, but there's nothing there, yet I still feel like I am not alone. Although feeling like this would make me scared, it doesn't, in fact I feel safe like I know whatever is behind me and I trust it.

I get in the house and head to the kitchen where I am hearing sounds of pots. Twinkle is seated on the dinner table licking his fur. I'm guessing your wondering why I would name a male cat, Twinkle. It's a long story.

"welcome home," my mom says with her apron on, "how was the singing lessons,"

"Not bad," I say

"What do you mean not bad, did something happen?" she asks while holding the macaroni in her hands

"No, nothing I can't handle,"

"She's a brave one, takes after me," Twinkle says as he stretches himself on the table and I laugh

"Like you?...the same person who runs from a mouse,"

"What's funny?" my mom asks with confusion

"Nothing," I shake my head with a smile. She doesn't know I can speak to animals.

"okay… Are you sure?" she suspiciously asks

"yeah," I smile

"okay then, let's get cooking,"

"Rebekah, I think I need a litter box. Miss Cathy got Joey a new litter box today," Twinkle says as I grab a medium-sized pot of the cupboard.
