Before the sunset

Chapter 1

*Astrid Pov*

Around 6:00pm

I sat down in my bed operating my laptop searching for online jobs I could do when my mum shouted my name aggressively "Astrid!!" I could sense the anger in her voice, I stood up and went up to her in the parlour.....

She sat down operating her phone, feeling my presence she stood up and landed a hot slap on my face I touched my face i could feel the hotness inside me, tears feld my eyes as I pour them out..

"Mom, what have I done for you to hit me so hard?" i asked her softly...

"How dare you question me..should i remember you to wash my clothes, sweep the house, mop the floor and wash the dishes are you not matured enough to take care of the house" she shouted more at me and I cried the more..

"But mom, sophy(the only maid) is supposed to be the one doing the work they do pay her for it""

"Will you shut your trash before I hit you... So all you want to do is to eat and sleep and become lazy like an animal right"

But mom...

"You better go and do what I told you before I tear you down"

She hesitated and I ran to my room crying...

What kind of life is this, why do my parents treat me so horribly to the extent of even maltreating and beating me.... sometimes I feel like I was adopted by them... I left my room and went to the kitchen and found sophy cooking my favourite meal... I inhaled the sweet smell thinking it will make me feel okay but I still feel depressed

"Ma, are you feeling alright"

"Yes, i am don't mind my moody face, please where are all the dirty dishes"I asked her looking for the dishes to wash....

"Oh! I already wash them no need to worry and I already help you with every other work your mom gave you"

"Thank you so much sophy"

"You are welcome Ma Astrid, I heard your mom shouting at you, hope there is nothing wrong" she asked looking worried

"No, it's nothing, and thanks again" she beamed a smile at me

Sophy is the only one I could call my friend in the whole town.... everybody dislikes me saying that am a bad luck to them which I don't get... I really love sophy as my own sister and I wish she was...

"So what are you cooking" she smiled

"Your favourite of cause.. rice and peperone spices with your favourite soup"

"Awwn.. Thank you sophy, you really made my day, so how can I help"

She taught me how to cook right from when she started working in my home or let me say my dad's home...

"No need I can handle this on my own"

"Come on, I want to help ...please"

"Okay fine, you can help me with the carrots" I took some carrots and started slicing it...

*Olly Pov*

"Lillie, please don't leave me again"

"Don't worry olly, I will come back for you, just be patience"

"Patience? I have waited enough, I really need you by my side now"

"Am sorry but it can't be possible"

"No! please" tears fled my eyes

*wakes up*

Oh my God, what a weird dream.... I wondered why this same girl is always reoccurring in my dreams *knocks*

"Come in" Mate walks in

"Hey man"

"What'sup dude. Why the frightened face?"

"I just had one of the weirdest dreams I have been having for a long time now"

"What is it all about?" He asked me

"It's about a girl I have been seeing in my dreams repeatedly and it's like we are getting acquitted. It's kinda creepy and exciting at the same time..dude"

"Yeah, yeah cut the crap and get dressed we are going out"

"Where exactly?"

"THE BRO ZONE"

The Bro what!?" I asked him looking surprised

"Dude don't tell me you haven't been to the BRO ZONE, it's a place where guyz like us can go and enjoy out lives to the fullest and it's new in town... This life is full of enjoyment and fantacies and you won't get a second Chance to live it the way you want and not exactly bothering yourself over a girl who keeps appearing and re-appearing in your dreams so get dressed and let's start going".....

"Okay, Mr preacher spare me the sermon I'll get dressed already"...

I stood up and went to my closet to pick one of my favourite outfits..

"Speaking of the creepy girl, is she pretty?" Nate asked sarcastically

"Yes, she is pretty and I told you before I don't know her that much.. she is from my dreams dummy" I joked and we both laughed...

*Astrid Pov*

Around 6:00Am

Mom barged into my room and gave me a hot slap on my head...

"Ahh mom!!" I woke up holding my head and screaming in pain

"Don't mommy me, it's 6:00 and you are still sleeping when you have chores to do" she replied back ate angrily..

"But mom sophy is already awake"

"Will you shut your trash and get up"

I stood up falling back to bed again and mom gave me another slap..

I squealed in pain as I fell back on the bed holding my face firmly and crying even harder...

"If you know what is good for you, you better go down there, get the materials for cleaning and go down to the basement and clean it from start to end. I want the place sparkly clean so clean that I can see my reflection in it" she said looking unconcerned....

"But mom, that place has not been cleaned in years now and it will need numerous and many assistance for that place to be as clean as you described" I complained...

"Are you talking back at me, if you don't want me to beat you to stupor you better get to work you insubordinate witch... And if I get back and you are not done, I will show you the beast in me" she hisses and slams the door.....

"Wow, I didn't believe that magic was real but seeing it with my very own eyes it's...it's...it's.. Astonishing!! I exclaimed

"Yes, she is right your majesty... we are deeply honoured to be at your service" lastrid said as she bowed her head and curtsy to Astrid..

"Me? Powers? You mean that I have Powers? How come? When? I don't understand am totally clueless"

"Well, your mother is the queen of Elf wolf kingdom and we are your personal guards and you are our princess.." lastrid answered her...

"What about my father"

"Hmm...your Mom was pregnant with you at a very young age... Your dad left your mom for someone else claiming that his not the father of the child she is carrying...since then we haven't heard from him" mastrid replied sadly..

"I am worried about my daughter, my daughter left her kingdom in search of a skull are on earth what a stupid thing to do and now she is suffering in the hands of her reincarnated parents"

"Your grace, love is worth the suffering she is passing through now, if eventually she finds love am sure she won't regret her action in leaving the kingdom

" I hope she won't regret it. Thank you Elsa you have found a way to relief me of my burden"

"You are welcome your majesty" she said as she left my chamber.

" Not really, you were reincarnated(reborn) by another set of family, which is now your mom and dad on earth" mastrid replied

"Oh, so can I go with you" I asked pleading with them...

"Am sorry princess, but we can't take you with us" they both replied

"But why, why can't i" I asked and suddenly I heard my dad's vehicle honking at the gate furiously

"Oh damn it* my dad is back and he seems to be angry for no reason excelt he was upset and hungry from the long trip back from Vegas, so tell me why can't you take me back to Elf....."

I turned and mastrid and lastrid were not there anymore. I was shocked and surprised and staring at the place where they stood before I turned away pointing my fingers and suddenly the horn from the gate grew louder and aggressive by the minute and I was shocked out of my surprise and ran to open the gate for my dad...

"Welcome daddy, how was your trip to lasvegas" I tried to hug him and help him with his brief case but he pushed me aside..

"What took you so long to step out from the house to open the gate for me"he yelled angrily

"I was cleaning and I was trying to round up when I heard your horn"

"And so, will it take you eternity to open the gate* You are always full of flunsy excuses any time you mess up like this. rubbish. You better get me something to eat before I hit you"

I hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare his meal even though sophy was around...
