Awoken by the thud sound on the door, Rory woke up unwillingly feeling blue.

"Wake up Rory! You are not planning to sleep the whole day leaving the guests just like that, are you?!"

"Oh no, Mom I'll be down in a minute",

Rory sighs as she hung her head down.

*****

Yes, it's me Rory Woods. It's my birthday today, I'm turning eighteen. *sighs* I've got a whole lot of guests down there waiting for me. My parents want my eighteenth birthday to be "special", I guess.

And Yes, you got that right, I'm just a regular normal girl from a middle class family that loves to sleep a lot. But hey, I'm a straight grade A student, well, does that even matter?

Actually, I do not want to be stuck in this stupid reality when I can sleep and dream myself in a whole new world. I'm living my best life there, in my Dreamland.

I have a bestfriend, her name is Carla. She said I have some pretty cool dreams and that she completely understands to why I love to sleep.

Oh, she loves to write too. She turns my dreams to novels. Great, huh?

I wish I could do that too.

***

"RORY, ARE YOU COMING?!!"

"Yes Mom! I'm coming!",

"Do you know how long they've been waiting for you? You should be ashamed of yourself"

"Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry", Rory responds with a blue face.

"Rory, don't make that long face, you're incorrigible!", Mrs. Wood whispers to Rory as she pinches her.

"Ouch, I won't, would you please stop treating like a kid? I'm eighteen already."

"Well, then behave like one, young lady", her mom says with a strict tone.

Rory sighs and she looks around for her bestfriend.

"Roryyyyy! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are eighteen, finally! What have you been dreaming lately?", Carla questions Rory with sheer excitement.

"Oh, some weird dreams, I don't know how to describe it"

"No problem! Don't stress thinking about it, it's your birthday. You should enjoy it!"

"Sure, I guess. Just a year closer to death",

"Oh, stop sulking, lassie"

"Right, right, enjoy my Birthday I guess"

****

I'm probably here with a lot of people and it's giving me anxiety. Being a socially awkward person, *sigh* is hard.

Let's see who we got here today.

Ah, look at Mrs. Mills, aging like a fine wine eh?

But I rather not talk to her or else she is never going to stop chattering about her lustrous black furred dog, Ginger fur. Such a peculiar name.

I know, I know. The name is pretty weird, it's not really weird but it's kind of funny how she named her dog "Ginger fur" when it literally has dark raven fur.

Oh well, it's her business, I'm absolutely not going to put my nose into it.

Hm, Looks like even Mr. Harrison is here. He is incredibly handsome. *daydreaming*

He is just very shy. It seems like Miss. Jasmine is going to take a step to finally talk to him.

I bet, Mr. Harrison would drop the glass out of nervousness. They've been the talk of the neighborhood.

But that's not my business, I absolutely have no interest in it.

Next, hmm *annoyed face* well well, ugh if it's not the thirteen year old Richard, the mischievous imp of the neighborhood. That child is a devil. He has been causing nothing but ruckus lately. I really wish I can bash him.*evil laugh*

Look, how despicable! He is literally trying to get a lick of my birthday cake. Not like I should be concerned or anything because I don't really care. But I'm probably gonna say something.

"Didn't your mother teach you any manners, Richard?"

"Of course, she did, Rory!"

"Well, then get your dirty fingers off from my birthday cake, it's disgusting"

"What are you gonna do?", Richard with a provoking voice.

"I'm going to call your mom and ask her to give you a good beating"

"That's a mean trick, Rory! What are you keeping the cake for? For mere decoration?"

"Oh shut up, lad. Go along, keep your hands off the cake"

"blah blah", Richard shows mean and funny faces to her.

"Mrs.Carson, Richard is being a terrible boy, he has been licking the cake without my permission"

"RICHARD! COME BACK HERE, YOU NASTY BOY"

"Momma, I'm sorry, I didn't do anything", Richard with a shaky voice.

"Oh no, you are lying", Mrs. Carson dragging Richard to the corner by pulling Richard's ears.

"ow ow ow Momma, no"

*Giggles* Well, that went well. I probably would make a good villainess.

I didn't know birthday parties are suppose to be this boring. I can't even see Carla anywhere. *sigh* This girl is good at disappearing.

I have nothing to do other than walk around and greet people. When am I even going to cut the cake? I want to get over with this.

I should probably sneak out to my room and sleep. But it would be a terrifying task since mom is dangerously close to the stairs that leads to my room. Good heavens, I need to think of something.

Richard can be of some help.

Ugh, I can't believe that I have to probably take the help of that Richard boy.

"Hey, hey Richard, psssssttt, look at me Richard", she softy whispers.

"He is never going to hear me at this rate"

I'll probably act like I'm cutting the cake. This will surely attract his attention. Tsk. Foolish kid. What can I expect though? *sigh* Kids are innocent. Maybe.

"Oh oh he is coming towards me. Ha, nice plan Rory", talking to herself.

"Hey! Share a slice of cake with me! Rory", Richard requests Rory with excitement in his eyes.

"I will, only if you do a work for me", with a sly voice, Rory commands Richard.

"what work?", Richard curiously asks.

"Go tell Mrs. Woods, my mom ,that your momma called her"

"But my momma didn't call your mom"

"Stop questioning, I know, just go tell her that!"

"okay!"

"Listen, when my mom meets your momma, she is probably going to ask your mom if she wanted to talk. Your mom would deny that time, you tell them that you heard something like that being told to you"

"okay, that will be done"

"Good boy, Go do that and the cake is all yours"

"Really?!!"

"Yes, now shoo boy, get on with it"

Now I have to wait for it.

Good job, Richard. I didn't know you would actually pull this off. But wait, he is a notorious boy, this is nothing for him.

I'm going to get going to my room while mom is moving towards Mrs. Carson.

**Rory slowly sneaks to her room and pounce on the bed**

Finally, my sweet bed.

I'm probably gonna sleep no-

**Rory falls asleep without realising**

*after some time*

*yawns*

"eh, w-where am I? Am I still dreaming?", Rory rubs her eyes.

"hm, I'm sure I'm still dreaming", claps her cheek.

"I AM NOT DREAMING?!"

"T-THEN WHERE AM I?"

"Violet, Are you okay?", a voice sounding seemingly anxious draws nearer.

I am very confused, where am I? That does not sound like my mom.

I'm lying on a huge bed that's not mine. What should I do? My heart is beating so fast. I'm scared.

The door opens and a worried woman throws her arms onto her.

"Violet honey, are you okay? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"W-Who a-are you? I don't know who Violet is"

"What nonsensical words are you spouting off? Did you hit your head or something?"

"N-no"

"I don't have time for your acts. Get ready, you have a tea party to attend in an hour."

"Katie, look after Violet, dress her up in the most beautiful gown, she must look pretty", the woman commands the maid and walks off the door.

"Yes, Your Grace", Katie bows.

"My lady, it would be great if you step out of the bed before the Duchess yells at you"

"K-katie, right? Who is that woman? Can you please explain?"

"My Lady seem to be upto a lot of tricks nowadays, perhaps I'll just go along to it", Katie talks to herself.

"That woman was the Duchess, Catherine LeClair, also your mother"

"ahaha I-I see, is Violet my name?"

"Yes, My Lady"

Rory, now Violet, gets out of the bed quickly and looks at herself in the mirror.

"W-what? Why am in the body of such a young girl?!", Violet screaming.

"My Lady, you are a young girl", Katie sighs.

"Katie, h-how old am I?!!"

"Eight, my Lady"

"Eight, eight...", Violet sobs as she murmurs to herself.

***

I am aghast. This is despicable. How did I end up like this? Is this my true real life or was THAT my true real life?!

Was that a dream or is this a dream?

I am perplexed.

W-WAIT THIS POSSIBLY ISN'T MY REAL LIFE. I KNOW NOTHING OF THIS LIFE.

Gosh, I need to take deep breaths.

****

"My lady, are you okay?"

"Ah uhm y-yes"

"Katie?"

"Yes, my Lady?"

"Could you please tell me everything about me and my family?"

"I will, my Lady, if you wish me to tell you"

"thank you!"

"My Lady, I'm sorry if I seem like I'm being nosy, but is this another trick?"

"uh yes, Katie, this is a new trick, I'm going to act like I've lost my memories and see the reaction of my family"

"Do I have siblings?", Violet asks Katie with eagerness.

"Well, my Lady, you're the only daughter of the Duke and the Duchess".

"I see!", nodding her head.

"Now, my Lady, I believe you would look wonderful in this dress"

"hm? Looks pretty fancy"

Violet puts the dress on and tries walking.

"My Lady, that's not a how a proper noble lady walks", Katie sighs.

"Lady Violet has been acting quite strange this morning, I wonder if this is part of her act", Katie talking to herself.

Katie doing Violet's hair while Violet is getting tired because it's taking too long.

"Katie, how long is it going to take? I'm sleepy", Violet yawning, complains to Katie.

"In a minute, My Lady"

"You've been saying that for the last twenty minutes"

***

I should find a way to understand what's going on, *Yawns* I feel like I'm familiar of this scenario. I should try to get used to it and grasp the truth behind all these ruckus. I can't believe that I really ended up being in a whole new place.

***

"My Lady, it's all done"

Katie pops Violet's bubble of deep thinking.

"Ahh yes, thank you"

***

"Violet, Are you done?! If you are, better come down quickly"

"Yes, mother, I'm coming"

Violet goes down and her mother advises her to be more ladylike and not to cause any ruckus.

****

Seems like this Violet lady is a troublemaker. *sigh*

***

"Sweetheart, you look beautiful! I hope you have fun", the Duke with excitement hugs Violet.

"T-thank you, Father"

***

Seems like the Duke loves Violet terribly a lot. *Sigh*

"Albert, stop hugging Violet, you are getting your tears and snot all over her dress!"

"I'm sorry, it's just that my daughter has grown a lot", sniffing his nose on an handkerchief.

"Violet, move along and get on the carriage, you cannot let Amelia Blaise waiting for you! Hurry up!"

"Yes, mother!"

***

Hmm, Violet has a very strict mother and well, his father, he seems like he adores his daughter a lot.

Well, now I'm going to get on the carriage and just wait till I get to Amelia Bl-, wait wait Amelia who?

They soon arrive at Amelia Blaise's house.

"Well well, welcome Violet, to my wonderful tea party", Amelia smirks as she welcomes Violet with an unwelcoming voice.

*sigh* This girl smells like"trouble". I can no doubt sense hypocrisy in her statement.

"Hello, Lady Amelia, how do you do? I'm so grateful that you invited me to your wonderful tea party"

"Of course, you ought to be grateful", laughs proudly.

"Ugh I don't like her, what a narcissist. She looks older than me though", Violet talking to herself.

Violet joins the tea party with the other girls who were elegantly sipping on tea from their cups.

"Good God, I'm sure they are of the same age as me or older but look at them, such elegance and so very well mannered. Well, they are all from noble families, I can't expect any lesser from them", Violet sighs as she observes everyone.

Violet sees that Amelia is heading towards her.

"Incoming the devil"

"Did you say something, Violet?"

"Oh of course not, Lady Amelia"

"You seem to like the cookies a lot, why don't you take it home if you are that hungry?", laughs hysterically with her group of friends.

"uh sure"

"I wonder what's so funny about that",

"You poor girl, you must have no shame at all", laughs again.

"It seems like Lady Amelia doesn't like it, is it because you're becoming fat lately? I'm so sorry to hear", with a sly voice Violet talks back.

Amelia's group of friends trying their best not to laugh.

"S-stop it girls!"

"How dare you say that, Violet?!"

"Oh no, how dare a girl like Lady Amelia degrade me while I am peacefully eating my cookies, is it because you're gaining too much weight that you're jealous seeing me eat?", with a sarcastic tone Violet hits her back.

Amelia dramatically runs with her tears falling down as her friends chases after her.

"Tsk, what a dramatic child"

"Even though I'm in an eight year old body, my mentality is still eighteen"

"right, can't believe I'm still immature"

"Lady Violet?"

"y-yes!"

"That was really intriguing, you are a really bold girl", a girl from the back approaches her with a cold smile.

She has cold beautiful sapphire coloured eyes. Her hair is dark as the night, maybe more darker with no tinge of further hue coming in the way. She is fair and has an odd alluring charm to her.

Violet is gasping at her beauty.

"T-thank you, I guess", Violet thanks the girl awkwardly.

"I'm Arelene Lottway, daughter of the Marquess James Lottway, it's a pleasure meeting you", Arelene drops a curtsy.

"I am Violet, Violet erm"

**

Oh my gosh, what was my last name, I forgot. I literally forgot.

God, help me, I'm so doomed.

"Violet LeClair? If I'm not mistaken"

"Uh uh yes, It's Violet LeClair", Violet clears her throat as she says this.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Lady Arelene",Violet bows.

"Oh call me Arelene, no need to be modest"

"Erm is that okay?"

"Of course, allow me to call you Violet in turn"

"Sure, Arelene. I don't really mind, call me however you like"

"Oh, Arelene, I'm really sorry to leave you hanging like this but I must leave. I have very important things to do"

"Yes, I understand. Have a good day"

***

Violet leaves the tea party before trouble comes her way. She climbs to the carriage before Amelia could come and stop her.

Before long, Violet arrives home. She sees her mom at the entrance door.

***

Why is mother waiting for me?

D-did Amelia complain to her parents and actually told mother about it?

What should I tell mother? I know it's not my fault but even so, she seems like she is going to scold me anytime.

****

"Hello, Mother. I'm finally back home"

"Violet honey, you are back early. How was the tea party?"

"I-it was good"

"I'm glad to know that it went well then"

"Y-yes mother"

"Did you cause any trouble?"

"Of course not mother!", Violet replies with a forced smile.

"Aw my lovely daughter, I'm so happy to know"

"What are you doing out here?"

"Oh Violet honey, you know that I'm waiting for your distant relatives"

"My distant relatives?"

"Have you forgotten? You were so excited to see them"

"Ahhh ahh I see, I remember now. Well, mother I'm going inside now. I need to change"

***

whew, that was a close call. Let me go ask Katie about it.

"Katie, who are these distant relatives of mine that's coming over?"

"Oh, they are from the Kwartz Kingdom, Lucius Silverno and Dana Silverno. They are actually coming to live with you"

"W-what?!! Are you serious, Katie?"

"Yes, my Lady, I thought you knew about it"

"Ahh well, of course"

"Here my Lady, please get changed before they come"

"Thank you, Katie. You are very kind"

"N-no, my Lady. I ought to do this", with a smile on her face, Katie leaves the room.

****

This is very confusing. It's not even a day here in this world and I'm meeting a lot of people. I feel like I have experienced this before. A deja vú eh?

Hmmm, let me think.

***

Violet lays on the bed and thinks about everything that's going on. She feels like she has experienced this before but she is not sure of it. What could be the reason behind it?

****

Ahhhh, I want to sleep. I don't want to put efforts into thinking. *sigh*

Wait a minute. I feel like I had a dream similar to these occurences.

Wait, that must be it! I had a dream similar to what I'm experiencing but the thing is that , the story takes a whole unexpected turn. I don't remember the twisted plot of my dream. This is very confusing.

Hm, so that makes me the main character? When I come to think of it, I do remember almost all of the dream. But I can't remember the twist that takes place. I feel like that's the most important thing. Only if Carla was here, I'm sure she wrote this dream of mine too.

As far as I know,

I have three love interests.

1: The distant relative, Lucien Silverno who turns out to be adopted. He turns out be a Prince of the erm I forgot which kingdom, I do remember he is not fully a human. And also his kingdom doesn't exist anymore.

2: The Wizard's cold son. He is the meanest person ever.

3: hmm, if I'm not mistaken, next is probably Arelene's brother. Yes, her twin brother! Who is a sweet childish sadistic boy, ugh brings chills down my spine.

That's all the love interests I know so far.

Arelene Lottway and Dana Silverno becomes two of my best friends but I feel like I'm forgetting one of them.

***

While Violet immerse herself in her thoughts as she lays down, Katie knocks on the door.

"My Lady, they have arrived"

"Whaaat?!! Really?!"

"Yes, My Lady. The Duchess is asking for you"

"I'll be down in a minute", Violet with a huge sigh prepares to go down.

"I can do this!", claps both her cheeks.

"I'm probably going to discover the story and truth behind everything, I miss everyone in my real world, I wish I spent more time with them instead of sleeping. "

Violet goes down the stairs quietly not to grab anyone's attention.

"I MISSED YOU VIOLET!!"

Someone runs and pounces onto her dragging her down on the floor.
