Chapter 1

“It’s a beautiful morning today,” said Susan as she walked into Lily’s room. She opens up the curtain and a ray of sunlight fills the room “ Rise and shine Lily.” Lily sits up in her bed blocking her eye from the sun and asks what time it was. Susan replied, “ the time is seven o'clock, your dad is off to work, your mother went shopping with her friends, and Breakfast is served downstairs.”

“Sounds like a Monday to me,” said Lily as she gets off her bed and goes into the bathroom. With a toothbrush in her mouth, she said “ isn’t tonight the rich man's party.”

“ Yes it is, and also you have a meeting today by ten o'clock today at work,” said Susan as she dresses Lily’s Bed.

A few minutes later Lily comes out from the bathroom tying her towel, she sits at her dressing table as another maid comes in. The maid picks up a hairbrush from the dressing table and begins to brush Lily’s black hair. Lily tells the maid “ thank you but I can do it myself.” She takes the brush from the maid and starts to brush her hair.

Susan walks into Lily’s closet and comes out with two options of clothes, “ this or this” Susan said as she lifts the clothes for Lily to see. Lily said, “ I will wear that one.” she points to one of the clothes Susan was holding.

{ a few more minutes later}

Lily went downstairs to the dining table where her breakfast had been served, she took one scone and headed for the front door.

{at the company}

As Lily entered the company a lady, average-sized, blond curly hair and glasses stood in front of her and with her sweet voice said “hi miss blues I am your new assistant...” Lily cleared her throat and said “ listen…” lily looks at the lady's tag “ listen, Wendy don’t you call me ms. Blues again. It makes it sound like I married my father. Think about it, if my father is Called Mr. blues in his other company and I am called Ms.blues here, it would give out the wrong idea, like Mr. and Ms. blues. Do you get where I am going with this?”

“ Yes, Ms. blu… I mean Ms. lily” said Wendy.

“ I could tell you are going to be a problem,” said Lily to Wendy.

{at the meeting room}

Lily walks into the meeting room where employees had been seated. “ any status report for the month.”

One of the employees passes the file to Lily. “ Here are all the status reports from the other branches.” the employee said, looking so nervous. Lily goes through the file. “ What, how can we be losing money at this rate, and this has been going on for what?” Lily looks at the file again. “ years, this has been going on for years. I asked for a status report on all the branches every month. And all results came back good.” Lily rubs her forehead slowly and asks calmly, “how does this affect our revenue.” one of the employees speaks up and says. “it affects it by 10%.” “ and you guys kept this away from me for months.” Lily said. “ Actually when we ask for the status report from some of the branches around the world, they just ignore us…” said one of the employees as the rest nodded their heads in agreement. “ If it was my father, would you tell him that nonsense?” “ Listen, Tanya, I want you to tell the managers of those branches that I am giving them until the end of the month to send me their status reports, or else they will all lose their jobs.” Tanya in the agreement says “ yes Ms.Lily, I will do it as soon as the meeting is over.”. “ and don’t forget to schedule a meeting with the manager of the branch that is losing money, Wendy, the branch is in Manchester, London right.” Wendy and Tanya nodded in agreement. Lily writes it down on a sticky note and sticks it on top of the file. She gives the file to Wendy and says “ so you won’t forget.”

“Anything else.” everybody in the meeting room said “no”

“ Well, in that case, yesterday was my birthday, and there is no way I would have forgotten about you guys, there is a huge cake in the car for you guys, and when sharing the cake don’t forget the janitor again. Please.”

All the employees then walk out of the meeting room.

“ at the lunchroom in the company.”

One of the employees, named Elizabeth, says, “ I mean she is trying her best, she is just 20 years old and she started at sixteen.” Wendy joins the conversation and says “ who are we talking about.” Elizabeth says “ Lily.”

Wendy gasps in disbelief “ she is that young, I feel bad for her that other managers are ignoring her orders because she is young and a female, so sexist of them.”

{in lily’s office}

Lily crossed her legs on top of the table, groaning from tiredness. The phone rings. “Oh, who could that be.” Lily picks up the phone.

Lily: “ hello who is this.

James: “ It's me, James.”

Lily: “You mean, my high school ex-boyfriend James.” Lily said in surprise

James: “ technically, we did not break up, you just went away and never called back.”

“ If you don’t call that a breakup, what would you call it if your father grabs your arm tight and says,” ‘I don't want you to see you with that boy again.’ and then makes you homeschooled for the rest of your life and rushes your education.”

James: “ I call that forbidden love. But wait, you said he rushed your education, that means you're done with college, I am just getting started.”

Lily: “ I miss you, James.”

James: “I miss you too”

The timer in Lily’s office rings.

Lily: “ Talk to you later, bye James” she then hangs up the phone and smiles.

{ outside the Blues company}

Lily comes out of the company waiting for the driver when all of a sudden she gets this huge rush of headache. She holds her forehead in pain and closes her eyes, she could see a vivid vision of a firefighter engulfed by flames, then she could see an address 1433 lake street. The headache then stops, her eyes flickered blue for a moment. She could hear somebody say get her some water, she might be having a migraine. Lily stood there so confused about why she had that vision then the driver came and she entered the car.

{ at the blues manor.}

Lily walks in through the front door, Susan stops the vacuum and rushes to Lily “ hey, Lily how was your day. I saw on the news what happened at work. The headline says ‘the young daughter of Wilson blues having a breakdown from all the stress, is it because she is too young.’ Tell me the truth, are you okay?” Lily walks to the kitchen fridge and grabs a bottle of water. “ I am fine, all I needed was water,'' Lily said.

“ Well, something tragic happened today,” said Susan. “ What happened.” said Lily as she sat down on the island in the kitchen, interested in what Susan had to say. “ a firefighter died today while saving a house from burning on Lake street.” Lily sat there frozen. She asked, “what is the exact address?”

“Umm, I think it was 1433 Lake street.” Lily's eyes widened in shock.

Susan asked, “ why what happened, you know someone there ?” Lily said “ oh, it's nothing I just wanted to know. I will be going upstairs to my room now.” “ don’t forget today is the rich man's party, get your speech and song ready, it's in five hours,” said Susan. “ I wouldn't,” said Lily as she went upstairs.

Susan said to herself. “ I wish I could multitask like she does.” looking at the vacuum cleaner, and the decorations she has to place for the party and then sighs.

A few minutes later Susan knocks at Lily’s room there, Lily “asks her to come in. Susan walks into the room and sees Lily lying on the bed and reading a book “ so how are your speech and song turning out” Susan asks

“ I am already done.” says Lily as she points at the table across from her bed

“Wow, that was quick. Well I will leave you for now to enjoy your book.” Susan said. As Susan left the headache came back again, Lily’s eyes glowed blue and she had another vivid vision. They were masked men robbing a bank, she could hear the alarm sound so clear as if she was there. Everything finally stops, lily then mutters to herself, “ what’s happening to me.”

{ a few hours later}

Lily was downstairs greeting the guests as they came in, “ oh it’s you you came.” Lily said in a sarcastic way to one of the guests.

“ Now Lily, there is no way to greet your future husband.” Josh said “ you must be crazy then, now move out of the way i have other guests to greet.”

A few minutes later Lily started the speech. “ today we gather here to celebrate the rich man's party, which helps us remember how we survived the difficult time where rich people like us where, kidnapped, murder and stolen from after all the hardwork we had gone through to be as rich as we are…” the speech went on for a few more minutes and when she ended everybody cheered and they was a toast.

Lily’s father walked up to her and said “you did a good job with the speech.”

Lily smiled and said “ did you have any doubts. Now if you would excuse me, I have a song to perform.”

Lily took a deep breath and then said, “This is for anybody out there who got rewarded for their hard work, and lazy people are trying to take it from them.”

She starts singing and closes her eyes as she is into the moment, the headache came back again but the pain was stronger. She had a vision of a woman that said ‘ come Lily, come to me and I shall help you.” She then passed out, her mother rushed to her side and yelled for someone to call 911.

Lily slowly opened her eyes only to realize she was at the hospital. The nurse said, “ Doctor, she is awake.”

The doctor said “ hi there Lily, i am doctor mark and I know you are probably wondering what happened, you faint from all the results i have gotten you are perfectly fine. And also if you're looking for your parents your mother is downstairs right now and your father had to go back to work.” “So what's wrong with me?” Lily asked.

The doctor sighs, “ It is probably stress or tiredness.” The doctor took off his glasses and said, “ Lily, you're famous around this city for starting from a young age to run a company,and also because your company builds most of the best houses here in crystal city. All I am saying is that I thinkl you should take a break” the doctor said and then left. Three nurses, a boy and two girls with scrub caps came in and were whispering to each other. “ The boy said I think she is the one that Anna sent us to get.” One of the girls then said, “ Walt,are you sure she is the right person? We wouldn't want to get the wrong girl again.” Walt rolls his eyes and says “ I am sure, I think, she matches the description.” “Umm, excuse me nurses, is there a problem.” Lily said, confused. One of the female nurses, who was about 20-25 years old with hair sticking out of her scrub cap, walked up to Lily and said “ there is nothing to worry about.” She then chanted a spell and Lily soon fell asleep. Walt then said “ did you have to do that Gina ? ” “ Well I did, now open the portal Brina.” Brina’s eyes glowed purple and a portal opened. Walt carried her inside and Gina and Brina followed after.

A few minutes later the doctor came to discharge lily when he found out she was missing. He called the security to search around the building, and Lily's mother asked “ what’s going on.” The doctor replied “ we have reason to believe that your daughter is missing.
