"Rise and shine!!" A voice came through some speaker in each room. They all hopped off their beds and stood at their doorsteps upright. Each and everyone of them was there, nearly a hundred of them.
"Just a reminder. We serve the Madrigals as they help and serve us. Let's do our best." Mick stated and blew a whistle. They all begun walking down the staircase towards a door to the back of the building. Heavy steps could be heard as they all begun their morning run.
"Nice!" He heard a voice call him. He slowed his pace to await for him. Soon they were in line. He avoided running near others just so as not to let any spirit be visible to him.
"This field is huge!" Tiw stated panting.
"Figured that out, the first round isn't done and we have two." Venice supported. Seconds later Nick approached. Not panting at all.
"The hell Nick carry me." Tiw stated. Then a guy run beside him.
"Want me to carry you?" He asked.
"No thanks it was just a joke." He responded Shyly.
"Okay so I'm New and you are..."
"Tiw. Tiw New. Our names Rhyme."
"Ooh that's the only English bit you know. I'm Nice by the way." He stated smiling at the guy. Tiw smiled at him then turned to Nice.
"If I catch you!!"
"No you can't." Nice stated as he ran ahead amongest the guys as Tiw tried his best to catch up. Tiw disturbed the ones he got on the way till their usual game of twenty six begun though now it was a game of ten. He couldn't lose. Someone had shown interest in him for the first time in this life. Their pace increased soon enough the ten were infront of them all by the end of the two rounds.
"How do you guys do it?" Mick asked as he wiped off sweat trying to gasp his lungs for air.
"Something to do with bars sneaking out and alcohol." Charlie responded as he sat at their table. They all laughed.
"It's all about the fun. To make things easier make everything a game." Nice responded. His words were just as Daddy William taught them.
"Guys I found a runaway spot." Bison stated as he sat with them.
"Already planned?" Nick asked.
"Yeah." He responded as breakfast settled on their table.
"How are you son?" A voice came from the call he had just received.
"Perfect. How is it going with your family?" He asked still sleepy.
"Okay. Maybe. Lily says she misses you." Dylan hung up as he sat up on the mattress and begun folding the blankets before placing them in a wardrobe drawer.
"He never even showed the slightest inch of miss in his tale."
"You haven't even let him finish or do you want him to say my son I miss you?" Then a knock came to the door.
"I'm getting tired of this." He stated as he walked to the door.
"Fuck ooooffffff!?!" He was silent.
"Sorry Mick I thought it was Feliz." His morning was already pathetic.
"Her, she won't be visiting any time soon."
"Why?" He asked eager.
"The new kids taught her a small lesson. First in lane was your go be secretary. Maybe he knows your worries even though you havemt met."
"Haven't met I don't even know his face."
"But on that day..."
"I had no glasses." He responded then was silent.
"Are you going to eat anything? Ivy is worried."
"Soy milk." He responded.
"With..."
"Anything." He stated and slowly shut the door.
"What do you think on my idea?"
"What?" He asked as he walked back in.
"Since you never use your room let's have it as the art room plus music as it's spacious enough."
"No need." He responded and walked out. Moments later a knock came. It grew louder then faded.
"Rich people's food." Charlie stated as he passed a fork through a runny sunny side egg.
"Eat it, the spices on top make the deal." Bison stated as he cut his. Charlie looked at it closely for further observation seconds later a force pushed his face into the runny yolk.
"Fuck!" He stated as he rose. They all laughed.
"Who did that?" They all pointed at Bison. He stood ready to run. His face looked runny.
"It's good not some mixed chemical!!" He shouted as they ran round the place. Everyone watched with joy. This kids brought a different atmosphere to the building. The days seemed much brighter and lovelier.
"Hello boyz." A lady stated. They all turned to her then back to their plates ignoring her. Sha had a black satin dress of short length. The flat shoes on her made her look different. More elegant.
"What is she doing here?" Tay asked as he bit the tip of a sausage. She walked to them and stood beside Venice.
"Today someone looked at the mirror." Nice stated as the others laughted. He focused on his plate. Then she touched his shoulder. He felt uneasy hence turned. Her shadow was black. He looked back at his plate. His tummy had butterflies. Tiw noted on the tension.
"Lady can you mind your business?" Tiw asked as he stood removing the arm from him. She looked at him annoyed. Nice knew she had to find it. The main reason why she was here.
"Yours isn't strong enough anymore. Someone has more strength than you." Her spirit stated and she walked away silently.
"Man what's into you?" Tiw asked as they walked to their rooms for a shower.
"I know bad blood when I see it." He stated. They were on the third floor. He turned and saw someone's shadow but ignored it. Maybe his nightmares were becoming reality. Three days to go. On normal nights it was mild but still present. Not that dangerous as compared to the fifth night. Then he could possibly die if no one is near to wake him up or when his spirit doesn't clash with his body. Tiw snapped at him.
"What?"
"You zoned out."
"Nothing much." He responded and toned down.
"Someone noticed you." Madrigal stated once Dylan walked in.
"They'll think they've seen a ghost or something."
"You sure you don't want to do some bonding with the kids down there?"
"As you know I like my holiday silent and calm."
"But you are noisy yourself. And why stay here? You have no inspiration for songs and even art."
"I'll play games."
"Then you'll get bored. Even I support that Lilly girl. Take life a step at a time. Go out there and gave fun. What is the use of the holiday?"
"GGP, thanks for the advice but I'm okay in my own" He stated as he walked out.
"No man is an island!" He shouted back as the boy headed to the rooftop. Apart from his room he was the one who designed this region.half of it had a swimming pool. The other half had millions of flowers at the center was a shed which had a green plantation all round. A swinging seat was placed at its center. He picked the watering can and begun watering the flowers one by one.
