Neal not only didn't know what was happening but also felt out of touch with reality, no scartch that she felt out of place in that house. A big cage trapping inside it not a lone beast or monster but a clueless canary.
She walked around trying to figure out what was happening when she suddenly thought of why her brpther weren't there did something happen to him? If yes then what happened and why have their parents not returned? Why is she alone.
She let herself think of many things big and small maybe this was a dream, or some kind of prank (her family was all too serious for such). She thought and thought but couldn't really figure it out.
Time flew by as little neal thought.
. . .
"I LOVE HER BUT WHAT IS SHE TRULY, A CURSE FROM THAT WOMAN MAYBE, NO NO SHE MIGHT BE THE REINCARNATION OF THE JEALOUSY THEY FEEL FOR US.", The woman neal saw as her mother screeched as neal curled up on beside the door.
"Calm down my love i know who she is and what her purpose is. I know she might be different but she is our daughter who was born to give us joy."
"Really?"
"Yes really"
"But Maya said that she was a disaster that fed on calamity"
"No she isn't Maya has just gone senile from her old age, you know it happens to everyone time heals all wounds but it also brings changes some irreversable"
"Yes you're right dear"

Neal let her eyebrows frown as she remembered that day when she had returned from going on a day trip with her parents to aunties seemingly strange to her. They wore heavy jewellery and clothes far too thick for days in the land within, but she kept her mouth shut the whole time.
She wasn't able to sleep that night so she went to her father's study on the 1st floor where she heard her parents bickering. She was troubled so didn't go inside, she just fell onto the cold marble floor and felt sleepy and them dragged her body to her room.
This was before she had been confined in their summer villa near the beach, the last time she went out, when with her parents' permission that is.
She once snuck out at night since she saw how the world was with the TV her parents had once let her keep, but after being caught running away or frankly escaping her TV privileges were taken away so right now she had no way of knowing what was happening and why it was happening.
She got wandering what to do whether to read the countless books in the study or listen to records of music her mother collected or paint well draw with the quality materials she had.
It took a while for her to truly realize she was alone no brother or parents to serveil her and another thing there still a few days before her weekly maid came in so no one to go tattletail to her parents. She realuzed that now there was no one to stop her venturing out.
. . .
Sure she was a spoiled privileged little girl who was always catered to, but she wasn't stupid so she knew she had only a few days to escape but doing to right now was bad the day had gone by (not that there was any night in the inside) she was truthfully tired since her long sleep was just closing her eyes and not really resting since she was still dead tired.
She was also scared that she would fall asleep for far too long if she slept so in order to prevent that she went around taking any and clocks in her home to her and setting them all up to 8 hrs and 30 minutes in the future after which she relaxed her body and fell asleep.
