3 Crystal and The Crystal Balls

"We're here" brooke almost jump out of the seat, she was too engrossed on watching the scenery that they were passing and the whole drive was quiet, no one of them dares to open their mouth. They arrived at exactly 6 in the evening it makes brooke feel exhausted. Her tiredness was washed away as soon she stepped her foot in front of the house. She was expecting a big but lonely home but in front of her is big indeed, a castle-like home but lights are lited from inside and outside.

"Omg, Hello I'm Crystal Miller, sister of Liam. I hope we'll get along an---" The girl was then cut off by her brother

"Cut it, Crystal, you're freaking her out," Liam told her and averted his gaze to Brooke, who's looking at them "I'm sorry, it's just this little sister of mine is happy to have you here" he apologizes that made brooke shook her head multiple times

"It's alright, she's cute" The three of them entered the house, she is stunned by the inside. As expected the house is a greek styled home on the inside. The most noticeable in the house is the statue that is located in the middle of the house, which is facing the stairs, It was Aphrodite, Greek goddess associated with love, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation. 'they really love the Greek Gods and Goddesses'

"Come, follow me. I'll show you your room" Liam cutting brooke in her thoughts, she nodded as she followed him leaving behind crystal who went into the kitchen. Upstairs was normal, things upstairs are up to date unlike downstairs, old fashioned. They already passed three doors and stop in the fourth door, "This will be your room" he widely opens the door for brooke to get inside along with her things.

The room is alright, it has a huge tv hanging on the wall, an air conditioner, and a fan. The bed itself was extraordinarily appointed with silks and drapes and quite tall, a royal bed feels and it has its own bathroom. After dropping her things on the bed she quickly went outside the veranda,

"Wow," she muttered, The view is breathtaking that makes her want to squeal. The city lights were shining and dancing through her eyes as it was could be seen outside of her veranda.

"You like it?" cutting her daydream. she nodded repeatedly still not believing the spectacular view that she's seeing "I was the one who chose this to be your room, I thought you'll like it, seems I was right." she became flustered by his words, she could feel her blood rushing into her face. "Anyway, my room is the first room, and the room before yours is crystal's. Feel free to knock on our door if you have some problems"

"DINNER'S READY" Crystal shouted from downstairs, the pair went down to the dining area. Brooke once again in awe as soon as she saw the dining table, a royal-themed dining table is in front of her with foods that are good for the three of them.

"Can you guys tell me the truth, are you both belong in a royal family?" She blurted out that made the siblings laugh and shook their head while taking their sits and started eating

"It was our brother, Zaiden who organized and designed this except for the upstairs, I changed it into a modern design" Crystal suddenly open up

"Perhaps where is your brother?" she asked the siblings that almost choked on their food, both of them looked at each other and gulp.

"Ahhhh" crystal stared her brother, Liam.

"He's out of town, yeah he is haha" Liam blurted and sarcastically laugh

"Yes, he's out of town for some business matters" crystal added

'weird' she thought to herself

"Ms. Collins how about your sister? how was the operation" a sudden question from Liam who is munching his food

"My mother messaged me, informing me that the operation was a success, My sister is still asleep because of the anesthesia that was given to her."

"Oh that's good"

"May I ask what is the illness of your sister?" crystal asked

"She has advance heart failure"

"Oh, I hope she gets better" they both smiled in each other and continued in eating.

after 30 minutes the trio finished their dinner, both crystal and brooke went to the living room while Liam is left in the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"Crystal, do you know where should I look for the crystal balls?" brooke suddenly asked about her job to do.

"Oh, Liam hasn't shown you?" brooke shook her head

"let's go, I'll show you" Crystal got up from her chair and started walking, brooke followed her behind. They reach upstairs and went into a room which is located at the end of the hallway. Flicking the lights open, exposing thousands of crystal balls that is neatly placed on the shelves.

"This is where you're going to look for the crystal ball"

"I thought it's somewhere over the city" she uttered as she carefully looks at the crystal balls "Why still need someone to look for it if it's already here in your house? and I'm really confused you know"

"Well, to start things off" crystal started "This is our second time buying a thousand of crystal balls, We're looking for a one particular crystal ball, It's important to us we need to find it and why we still need someone? it's because Liam will be having a business matter to handle in Canada. I will be left here alone with this bunch of balls, no one would help me and I can't handle this all by myself" Crystal manages to answer her "That crystal ball we were talking about is a little different from the ordinary one it shines like a star, you'll be captivated by its beauty a--"

"Oh you've shown her already and I bet you explained everything to her" Liam butted in

"Yes, brother I already told her everything"

"So, Ms. Collins now you know your job, you can go to your room and rest, tomorrow you'll start searching for it" he was about to walk away when suddenly he remembered something "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'll be leaving tomorrow for some business in Canada" she nodded as the three of them went out.

As soon as Brooke entered her room, she immediately took a deep breath. She can feel the tiredness of her body, she then decided to take a short shower.

Upon entering the bathroom, she had some odd feeling that's someone looking at her. She looked around the bathroom and found nothing disturbing. She entered the shower room all naked, a sudden shock of waves went through her body when the freezing cold water came in contact with her bare skin. While softly rubbing her body with her sponge that has a vanilla scent body wash, something hit her eye, a sparkly thing, rinsing the remaining soap on her body, she quickly grabs her towel and wrapped it to her body. She went to the shampoo and soap racks where the shiny thing was, and saw a crystal ball shining into different colors. She grabs it and was about to go out when she suddenly stumbles and falls in between her bathroom door and room, a loud shatter sound could be heard, her eyes bulge realizing that the crystal ball she is holding, was no longer in her hands.

Standing up from laying down on the floor, the now shattered crystal ball started to light, a blinding light, she shut her eyes. A few moments a small grunt could be heard in her room that made her eyes wide open. A silhouette of a man could be seen standing in front of her, smokes and lights are still present. Brooke suddenly realized that the man is naked after the smoke faded, She started shouting at the top of her lungs.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Oh Goodness gracious, woman stop screaming, you're gonna blow my ears"

"Yo-you were in th--"

"Yes, I'm from that freaking crystal ball, oh, by the way, nice legs" upon hearing him, brooke couldn't handle the situation, she suddenly passed out luckily the man caught her.

"What happened?" Liam rush inside the bedroom with her sister, crystal following behind. They didn't expect to see an unconscious Brooke and a naked man. "What the hell Zaiden, what did you do?"
