Rosaline

I groan and rubbed my head as I sat up. My eyes were still close as I try to get rid of the thumping feeling I was getting at the side of my neck and the minor headache I was having.

I slowly open my eyes and saw a cat. A cat that was staring at me. Nice, I thought as I close my eyes again.

Wait what?!

I open my eyes, fully alert this time and stare back at the white cat that was casually sitting at the corner of the bed. I blink and blink before taking a full look at the room I was in.

This is not my room.

3...2...1

"WHAT THE HELL!"

I screamed my lungs out, jumping out of the bed, and began opening the windows and door to find a way out.

"Why are you burning your lungs away?" A voice shouted at me.

I screamed and threw a pillow at the guy who supposedly is my brother. Sadly, the pillow landed on the cat. He or she snarled at me before jumping off the bed and running out the door.

"Why am I here?" Was the first thing I asked.q

Noah walk to the corner of the room and sat on the small chair, calmly looking at my outrage face. He gestures for me to sit down and I did. I tap my foot repeatedly on the floor as I waited for him to talk.

"So?"

"Like I said before. I'm your brother. Well, half-brother."

I narrowed my eyes at him, "and what does that have to do with me being in this room?"

"Father wants you to come back home."

My ears perk up at one particular word.

"Father?"

I was finally going to meet my dad. The one that left me with my awful so call mother. I frowned, feeling my anger boiling inside me.

Now he wants to show up?! When I was beginning to be happy about my life!

"What does he want?" I spat out after Noah told me the reason why I was here, "couldn't he have done it the civil way and meet up with me without kidnapping me at my own place?"

He looks at me with a hint of amusement. He stood up.

"I'm surprised you don't know, " he shrugged his shoulders, "All well. I guess I have to show you. But first, " he looks me up and down and pointed at my outfit, "you need to get change and ready."

He left the room with the soft click of the door, leaving me alone in the room with my head still wrapping around the information that was given to me. Pushing the thought aside I realized I was in my old clothes from yesterday. I groan at the thought of how bad I must look before heading into the bathroom and doing my business.

-*-

I wander around the place that I was supposed to be my home. Walking down the hallways I saw many pictures framed on the walls, each with a person staring straight ahead without a smile. But one picture had more than one person in it. It was the only picture where someone was smiling.

A baby and a little boy in a small nursing room. The boy was grinning at the small baby bundle up in a pink blanket.

"Done staring?"

I jumped and face Noah. He wasn't looking at me, instead, he was looking at the same picture I was staring at not too long ago.

"You know who that is?" He asked out of the blue.

"You?" I guessed.

He nodded his head then pointed a finger at the baby, "now how's that."

I didn't need him to say anymore to know that the baby was me. Who else was he trying to say it was.

"It's you before your mother and our father split and you were taken away."

My mouth became dry as I listened to him.

"It's tragic how your mother didn't listen to our father and raised you properly. Well, now she's gone so all well."

I blink several times and look at him, "g-gone?"

He realized his mistake and shook his head, "oh no. Not gone gone, just...at a special place."

I nodded my head. So mom won't be there to hurt me again.

"So, when are we meeting...dad..."

He was about to speak when footsteps interrupted him. We both turned and was met by a tall man. My eyes scan his face and instantly I knew who he was before he could say anything.

"Rosaline, " Noah spoke from beside me.

"Meet our father, Ken Lee."
