Skai's POV
I looked at the exquisite green mansion before me. It was surrounded by tall trees, which seemed really short compared to the mansion. I sighed and got out of the taxi.
"Thank you",I said as the driver gave me my bags.
I turned and faced the mansion. There was a black metallic gate staring at me questioningly. It reminded me of Willy Wanker's gate.
Looking around, I saw a doorbell with a 'Press Me' sign over it I rolled my eyes and pressed the doorbell.
"Who is it?" I heard a shrill voice ask.
I looked around to see if anybody was there. I noticed a built in speaker on the wall and realised that was probably where the sound came from.
"Skai", I said loudly not knowing exactly where I was supposed to respond.
"Skai? Skai who? ", the voice, which I just realised sounded like a woman's, asked.
"Uhm, Skai...Skai Knight", I said.
I am so nervous. What if I got the wrong address? And a wrinkly looking old woman, with a weird mole on her face and a cat around her neck, comes out and just happens to be related to the Grinch.
"Oh! Skai, come on, come in", the woman said.
There was excitement in her voice and I noticed she sounded like a really young woman not a relative of the Grinch .
I heard a squeaking sound and looked up. I saw that the metallic gates had opened to reveal a pathway made from bricks and surrounded by flowers. To the left, there was a blue fountain of a woman who resembled me. The water was pouring out of her conjoined hands. Tulips surrounded it. There were flowers surrounding the mansion. And to the right, there were two flower bushes. One had been cut into a crescent moon and the other into a wolf.
" Ah! Skai!" I heard the same voice from the intercom scream.
I turned a saw a woman who looked to be in her late twenties, running towards me. She was in red skinny jeans and a blue baggy sweater. Her black hair was in a messy bun and she had on slippers.
She stood in front of me and then suddenly I was in her warm embrace.
"Oh, I'm so happy to see you, dear", she said as she took one of my bags and placed her free arm over my shoulders.
" I'm Olivia...", she started as we continued to walk towards the door.
"But you can call me Aunt Olivia or Aunt Livia or Aunt O or even Ovy or Olly or Aunt Vi-"
"I think I'll just call you Aunt Olivia or Aunt." I cut her off.
"Aww, you are just like your mom, never letting me have fun", she mumbled.
At the mention of my mom, I felt a pang of sadness come over me.
Opening the door, Aunt Olivia turned to me with a smile on her red lips.
" Your room is on the second floor, third door to your right", she said as she gave me my bag and turned to a stairway made of polished wood.
"You're not going to help me?" I asked as I started walking towards the stairway. The inside of this huge mansion is no joke. Its beautiful. The floors were made from fine polished wood. The walls painted black and pictures and artworks hanged on them. Red flowers were painted on the walls.
"No." I was snapped away from my staring and my aunt was halfway done with the first case of stairs.
"Well, what about the servants?" I asked her desperately as I tried to balance my stupid bags.
"What servants? There are no servants here." And with those two sentences she was gone.
"What is the use of having a mansion if u don't have any servants?" I complained as I started my journey,climbing those darn flights of stairs with two suitcases and a duffle bag.
After what felt like years of torture, I finally got to the second. And with the aid of Aunt Olivia's directions, I was in front of a wooden door with the inscription 'Skai' on it.
Opening the door, I was met with the most amazing sight I have ever seen. The room was utterly breathtaking. 'Is this what it feels to fall in love at first sight?' I asked myself as I dropped my bags and walked into my mini heaven. The room is really spacious. The walls are painted in white and blue colours. The colours seemed to be moulded together. The king sized bed stood fairly on the ground above a few stairs to the left of the room. It has white and blue covers on it and a blue canopy over it. There were four white pillows on it. The side of the headrest also had a mirror on it. There was a violet couch below the the stairs leading to the bed with one of those small pillows leaning on the armrest. There was another couch close to the window, which had a view of the most beautiful garden I've ever seen. There were two love shaped beanbags facing the bed.
To the left of the room was a door and the right side also had a door.
I went into the left door and lo and behold, I fell in love all over again. It was a walk in closet. It was the same size or even bigger than my former closet and let me tell u, it was big. The wallpaper was of a light blue.
Clothes were sorted on different racks according to colour and type and of course brand. All the brands were here, Gucci, Victoria's Secret and others.
There was a whole freaking wall that held only footwear. Yes, heels, wedges, flats, sneakers, boots, should I continue? And yes, you guessed correctly. They were indeed also assorted according to colour, type and of course brand.
Walking towards the shelf to touch a purple Nike 720 sneakers I tripped. And no, nothing caused it my clumsiness was just stretching. Luckily I didn't fall on the floor but I did end up banging my head on the wall and hand pressed down on something.
Straightening up, I realised my shoe collection had disappeared and was replaced with accessories. Necklaces, ratings, rings, bracelets, hats, bands. I'm stopping here I just can't spend all day listing the things here. And yes, some where of course made from diamonds, sapphires, jades, rubies and I'm tired of listing.
Looking around I tried to spot whatever it was that my hand pressed and then I saw it, a green button with cute little cat ears on it. I pressed it and the accessories were replaced with bags. And again, they were ranging from different brands and colours.
Stepping out of the closet I headed for the other door eager to know what lies there.
I opened the door and came face to face with the most exquisite bathroom I have ever seen. It looked like it was made for royalty. There was a hot tub in the middle of the room. It was lavender in colour. I walked to the shower and glanced around. It was a normal shower, with a purple colored shower head.
There was a shelf filled with the various things needed to bath, like shampoos and others. And there was a door at the right side of the bathroom.
The purple toilet was at the left of the bathroom with a sink a few inches way from it.
I opened the door and was met with a room filled with towels and robes of different colours. Oh, and slippers too!
If I knew, I had all these here, I would have just told the driver to give my suitcases to the poor and needy.
I walked out of the bathroom and went to the couch close to the window. I just admired the garden.
So, this is my new life. I life without both of my parents and in a complete different environment.
God, I miss my mommy and daddy.
