chapter 8

REMY

The photo was black and white, in my dream it was colorful, the girl's face was blurred, the child's face and his parents were clearer, I could see their eyes closed, they were of a light color, see different faces it was something new to me and I loved it.

I remembered that I should go help Dylan and Mrs. Heaven with dinner, so I kept the picture right where it was by the sheets and went downstairs to help.

I ran downstairs and when I got to the kitchen I saw Dylan who was sorting some dishes, and Mrs. Heaven was peeling vegetables.

-Excuse me, Mrs. Heaven, sorry she was ordering some things.

- Oh Remy, today I will cook something different and I may not need so much help.

-You really don't need help Mrs. Heaven, can I peel something if you want?

- The knife is a very sharp utensil. I use it to peel vegetables and fruits, and this one.- He shows me a different knife than the other one.- This Remy is used for meat.

- I can try.

-We don't want you to get hurt Remy. The knife is very sharp and you can hurt yourself.

- Please, Dylan, do you think I was born yesterday?

-Well, you arrived recently, and you don't even know your full name.

"Dylan!" Mrs. Heaven glares at him, now she is very serious and she almost punishes him.

-Sorry, but it's the truth.

I don't know why Dylan said that, I don't know anything about me, I don't know what my own face is like, but I'd better just ignore it.

-Listen, Dylan, thanks for telling me something I already knew, but I can do it alone if I learn.- Now I'm angry.

- Remy darling, Dylan is right, the knife is a weapon literally, you can't use it without learning it, why don't you just go to rest in your room? - Mrs. Heaven says kindly, I can't say no to her, all this time, these days she took care of me and it will be better to go to my room.

-Okay Mrs. Heaven, she can call me when everything is ready.

She kisses me on the forehead, as she always does, Mrs. Heaven gives the best kisses on the forehead, they are warm and fill me with energy.

As I left the kitchen, I remembered my plan from before, to go find a mirror and finally see my own face, I hope no one finds me.

Check if Dylan and Mrs. Heaven are still in the kitchen, I couldn't go to Mr. Heaven because he surely is working and it was not necessary to see.

When climbing the stairs, instead of going to my room, I ran to the room of Mr. and Mrs. Heaven. I was able to locate myself easily, this mansion does not seem as big as it looks, but if it has too many rooms, I felt my heartbeat Real fast, I'm doing something Dylan forbade me, but I urgently need a mirror.

When I got to the door of his room, I looked to the right and left to see if anyone was following me.

When I grabbed the door handle and was about to turn it, a hand hit the door so hard it scared me and I jumped.

-Dylan is not supposed to warn you that you should not enter our room, right Remy?

It was Mr. Heaven. He seemed tired and at the same time angry with me.

-Dylan...- He didn't know what to say, he couldn't lie either. - If he warned me.

-Well, I didn't think you would be such a disobedient girl Remy. Tell me, what were you looking for?

-Something I no longer need now, thanks. - I quickly move away from him and go straight to my room, without turning back.

If just Mr. Heaven hadn't stepped in, he might have already seen my true face, is there another way to see it?

My hands are shaking, Mr. Heaven is scary, when he arrives he was smiling, and now, I see him differently, could it be because of fatigue? I didn't want to bother him.

I got up from my bed and decided to read a little to calm myself down, this book called "the little prince" is very good and catches my attention with each page that I advance, I lay right on my bed, grab the book and continue with my reading.

It must have been about 20 minutes, when someone knocked on my door, I thought it was Dylan to let me know that dinner was ready, when I opened my door, it was Mr. Heaven, he saw me with a slight smile and a little nervous.

-Mr. Heaven, what is it, does he need something? - I ask because he never comes to my room.

-Oh Remy, sorry for scaring you and fighting, I just wanted to apologize little one.

-Don't worry Mr. Heaven. It was my fault, I shouldn't go into his room to look for a...

Oh no, what did I just say? He's not supposed to know what I went to his room for.

-Were you looking for something?

-No, not really, I didn't need anything.

-I can help you, Remy, whatever you need you can come and get me and I will gladly do it.

-Mr. Heaven, I don't know if he can help me, but can I ask you a question?

-Of course my dear! - Mr. Heaven pays attention to me, he is still standing at my door, and I ask him why there are no mirrors in the whole mansion, I told him if he can lend me one, I told him about my dreams, how Mrs. Heaven couldn't help me.

-1 month, you have to wait 1 month, then I can tell you everything.

-But sir heaven, all this is killing me, I need to know now or else...

- IT'S TIME TO EAT!!

I hear the voice of Mrs. Heaven come from the kitchen. She wants us to go downstairs to go to dinner, and I still could not achieve my plan.

-Listen, Remy, I know you have several questions, but I will not be able to help you if you are not patient, wait 1 month, and I will be able to answer everything you need, okay?

-Okay sir heaven, thanks for the help anyway.- Every time I feel like they hide something from me, but I can't say it out loud, demand a serious answer too much, I hope I can know everything that happens here.
