That night Mu Millie couldn't wait to go to sleep she needs answers to all the questions that she had managed to accumulate throughout a couple of days she hadn't seen her Grandma or Nanna, a mother for a couple of weeks. As she may there she try to remember what her grandmother had told her about getting in touch with them. She racked her brain but couldn't remember she cures herself for not paying attention when her grandmother spoke. She was still battling withheld self I internally when she heard a voice at first it was a whisper.
Mu Millie thought she was imagining things she was that desperate to see her Grandma, mother, Nanna so she didn't pay much attention to the voice then she heard it again it was louder and clear this time it didn't sound like someone she recognised she looked around all over the place but saw nothing. She thought she is going mad right now she lay back on the bed she heard it again it was repeating her name, again and again, this time she got of the bed and followed the voice which sounds like it was coming from her mother's room.
Mu Millie thought she would be spooked by this but she wasn't she was calm as can be she entered her mother room as she closed the door she saw her Nanna standing there she was surprised she was expecting her mother or grandmother not she didn't mind she was still family.
Nanna smiled:" hello sweetheart I didn't scare you did i " she looked at Mu Millie.
Mu Mille smiled:" no Nanna you haven't I have seen ghost all my life but I was too scared to say anything and mama said there was no such thing just ignore it how come you are here is everything alright" she looked around to see if she could see her Grandma And mother she wanted to ask without offending Nanna.
Nanna:" I am here as your Guardian Angel dear and you have seen them all your life it was said you couldn't share this with anyone " she smiled.
Mu Millie:" I did Nanna I tell my Grinnygranny everyone she said I was special doesn't mind me being rude but what about Grandma and Mother they not coming too," she asked out curiosity.
Nanna:" well no sweetheart they can't I will explain later but they won't be allowed to see like this but you can see them sometimes in your dreams it's just the way it is" she couldn't tell Mu Millie she used these privileges in her other life that's why she only had her Nanna in this life.
Mu Millie moved forward and sat on her mother's bed:" oh! I see it's okay then Nanna tells, me about your self I don't remember you much I was too small when you passed away" she smiled.
Nanna:" well what can I tell you that I am your mother's mother, my name is....and I am from the Armani clan my family are the very big as you aware of Italian families I have 5 brothers and I am the only sisters they have their own families now but none have any daughters so they would love to meet you they've looked forward to it since you were born my family loves girls they say we were cursed so that's why it's rare for a daughter to be born but I was and then your mother and then you well that's a story for another time anyhow I married your grandpa as an arranged marriage between two large clans as you are to expand their businesses. I had four children 2 died in infancy due to illness and your mother died later from the same illness and there's your Uncle, of course, you have already met him and that's it basically " she didn't know what else to tell her.
Mu Millie thought of something maybe Nanna can tell me about mum and her biological father:" Nanna could you tell me about my mother and who her first love I read some things in her varies and I need more information please and also all the rules I knew I should have listened to grandma that day but I was just so happy to see them so I didn't attend" she looked in anticipation.
Nanna:" well sure sweetheart but beforehand I must warn you never speak of this in front of your granddad he still has bitter feelings towards the rival family he is stubborn he doesn't let go of a grudge the fight is really stupid but they seem to have dragged it out for four generations and what happened with your mother made your granddad even angrier he does know he found out after but he refuses to let them know of your existence" she looked sad.
Mu Millie looked at how sad her Nanna looked why was she sat there thinking about what she should ask it sounds like they all knew that mother was betrayed by her biological father. Just what kind of person is he that they all are a very at him and his family. She wonders now if she should let sleeping dogs lie rather than waking them up.
Nanna looked at Mu Millie knowing she wanted to know where she came from its only right that she knows but she was scared for Mu Millie she would only be hurt in the end what if he doesn't except her as his daughter then or worst use her to revenge on her own family she didn't know to what to do she thought it's best to talk it over with Mu Millie's Grandma and mother before she told Mu Millie everything.
Mu Millie changed the subject she asked about the rules and asked about how to access all that data from her. Nanna smiled and answered all her questions there was a lot to take in but she played attention this time.
Mu Millie understood most of what Nanna explain but want was bugging her she couldn't take revenge on her enemy's she wasn't allowed to hurt people unless self-defence because she would lose privilege she had to nice, kind, helpful, what the hell she thought do I look like Mother Teresa I don't think I have that much patients in me to be a Miss goody to shoes. And worst of all you had to interact which Mu Millie hated to do how would she be able to earn any privileges this was harder than it sounded.
Mu Millie sighed:" Nanna how can someone be that nice I don't think possible to be nice person 24/7 and that has been being born I will certainly lose the privileges Ohio why is so hard Nanna help 🆘" she rolled around on the bed in annoyance then she thought of something:" Nanna want happens of we lose all the privileges" she looked at Nanna.
Nanna:" well you have to listen carefully sweetheart you go into minus with privilege you have to forfeit on something or receive punishments which means you have to tasks set by the hierarchy understood so be careful okay they like to mess about up there so don't give them the opportunity okay" she smiled hoping Mu Millie understood the importance the punishment wasn't pleasant, to say the least.
Mu Millie was mulling over what was said she thought this is tough:" Nanna can't we opt-out like not listen to them" she asked out of curiosity.
Nanna:" you can but that will mean losing me and Your Grandma and mother and you will be left to your devices and also you will still be punished if you do something against there rules sorry sweetheart there isn't an easy way to do this sorry" she smiled gently at Mu Millie.
Mu Millie didn't want to lose anyone so she would live with this life the way they wanted whatever it was it didn't have a name she would give it name later on:" oh by the Nanna how do I get in touch with you" she looked at Nanna.
Nanna:" about that there is an emerald amulet in the draw over their it belongs to my family my Great Great Grandma who was a gipsy and dabbled in witchcraft which was forbidden at the time and if found out would burn at the stake my Great Great Grandpa loved her so much he let her do it in the secret dungeon he had made for her she left this amulet with the enchantments of the predecessor" she pointed at the Amulet that was being carried by Mu Millie it the minute it was in Mu Millie hand it started to sparkle it got brighter and brighter my Millie had to cover her eyes.
Mu Millie asked:" what's happening I feel strange Nanna what's happening why is shining I feel like we are in some magical movie I use to watch as a child" she giggled she wasn't scared it was as though her fear had disappeared altogether. Mu Millie had fallen asleep on the bed while the bright emerald light covered her entire body. It was working its magic on Mu Millie.
Nanna smiled and thought the amulet has found its bloodline it can only link to the true bloodline of the Rabellini Rom women Mu Millie was one of the blessed children to be born her daughter was one too but she refused to acknowledge her bloodline. She didn't believe in the magic side of things she said it was fairytales and myths made up around campfire storytimes before t.v came along. Nanna thought it was going to be lost in time but Mu Millie came along truly she was blessed and now it would carry on down the line so long Mu Millie had a daughter and her father somewhere along the line shared gipsy blood.
Mu Millie had inherited it so her father had to have some gipsy blood in his line somewhere but from Nanna knew of this family there was no way of knowing or she never saw any signs he must have not known either. This is the reason that one can contain the power of this amulet otherwise it wouldn't have shone so brightly and the stronger the bloodline the brighter it shined which was the case for Mu Millie.
Nanna chanted something in a foreign language only she would understand while the light did its work Nanna knew now that Mu Millie was carrying a least one daughter because the amulet let off a very, very bright light Nanna had never seen this before so she knew one of the twins or both were girls and their father descended from a gipsy background and by the looks of things it was more likely his mother the way to the amulet shined.
