(Rebecca)
My name is Rebecca, I am 10 (Thysia) years old and I'll tell you what, I am also one of the most important people on this planet as I am part of the lords who are responsible for the protection of the people of provision! I know I KNOW! I am quite incredible – which is why, I'll tell you how to be great like me!
Let's begin from what I dislike first,
1) Starting with food items, I do not like nuts mixed in with other desserts. Nuts are fine by themselves, but why would a person ruin a perfectly delightful cake and ice-cream by putting nuts in them?? Just the idea of that sounds terrible… Ughh, yuck! Who would even eat something like that?! Then,
2) There's many vegetables that I do not like to eat such as ladyfinger, beans, onions, tomatoes, peas; the list goes on AND ON. Mama says that I should eat them as they'll help me grow better and healthier, but I grew just fine all this time! I am sure she likes it because she's an older person, so I'll just start eating when I grow a bit older (that's the excuse I go with, it's working so far, can't imagine me liking them even if I became older than now). However,
3) What I hate the most are, without a doubt, those beings called 'boys'! They act and behave so oddly! The way they talk rudely and act all outgoing even if I don't know them that well, it makes me uncomfortable. I am the 8th lord and the ones behind me (9th and 10th) are boys, both of whom I dislike. The way one of them talks is so full of ego and his dressing sense…just felt so out of place… The other one is always just sucking up to him and flattering which only boosts the first one's ego even more, how spineless…(I don't remember either of their names which is for the better, I wouldn't want to remember the names of those I don't like, however…painfully and regrettably there's a boy whose name I do remember)
4) Feirin, I don't like him, so much so that he specifically gets a different position of his own in things I hate. He's annoying and acts all mighty as if he's very important even though he's weak; weak as heck! He calls Sis 'Master' for some reason and is quite clingy to her…ugh, I don't want to imagine it, but I have a guess that he likes my sister in 'that' sort of manner… It's good that Sis gave him a bad name at least, but why did Mama have to bring someone like him out of nowhere to begin with…
For a very long time I wondered, how can a girl…like a boy at all…? It just didn't make sense. When Mama talks about her husband though, it sounds a lot more different than the boys I've met or seen. Uncle Ari and every other adult who are also boys are fairly normal; then, maybe boys change with age? If so that'd be a relief and would make a lot of sense how a girl could like a boy. Maybe it starts around the age of 12 when they change for the better. Hiro…was a good boy and was 13 unlike anyone that's my age. Him and Sis were very close friends. Still…if these…creatures aren't naturally likable and only change due to aging, is that a good thing to begin with…? In either case I know I will never fall for someone EVER!
It's not a good thing to be too negative though so let's talk about what I do LIKE,
1) Ice creams! I like almost every flavour I've ever eaten (except for the ones that have nuts, why ruin it by putting something in that is neither 'ice' nor 'cream'?!).
2) I like cakes a lot as well. I like the small cakes which come in packets but the ones I like the most are those that we buy during birthdays. I always eat some up secretly whenever Mom and Sis aren't watching, which often tends to be during night time after everyone's asleep (Sis wasn't here for Mom's birthday this time so I got to eat a lot more than usual, but…it didn't feel right and everything was a lot more dull). I wish that we celebrated birthdays every year rather than once every two years sigh…people on Earth have it good… I like those cakes that have chocochips within them the most (and the ones that don't have nuts in them). Speaking of cakes, they are made of bread if I am not wrong. Even other than cakes though, I don't think I could live without bread! They are so simple yet so good! I can eat it with just sauce, or egg, or omelette, or choco spread, or sandwich, the list goes on! They are SO GOOD! I like drinking milk too (only if it's mixed with something else though. Like with cereal, or powder. Plain milk is…yuck…). You know what's the best feeling when simply strolling? It's when the sun's rays occasionally get covered by clouds, which provide a blanket of shade, then there's a slight breeze of wind that passes by (the clouds always move away a little too quickly and take the shade away with them which I don't like…). What else…oh right! No wait…this was supposed to be a list, uhh…
3) Ahem… Rain! I LOVE rainy days! Whether it be a downpour that drenches me from head to toe or a light shower that feels like sprinkles on my face, I love both types! But…perhaps even more so than the rain, it's the smell of soil that permeates the air as it's just beginning to pour down that I love, there's something magical about that smell which I don't quite know how to describe and whenever that scent is in the air, I know it's going to be a good time. So I go out in the yard and dance! (more like hop around on my toes and spin), I don't get how anyone can just sit and let the rain pass away as it's happening.
4) My big Sis(ter), Lucy. I love her a lot, she's taken care of me ever since I was very little (or so she says), though…recently I've come to dislike her a little. One day I woke up and she wasn't home so I asked that Feirin where she was, and he hadn't a clue; she had just vanished without a word. I asked Mama and she didn't know what happened either, a few days passed by and Mama came to pick me up so that I could stay together with her. She asked that Feirin to come as well, but he denied saying that he'll take care of the house (for the better as I wouldn't want him to come in the way of me and Mama). Now that Sis has returned, me and Mama will be sure to give her an earful! But…where did she even disappear off to in the first place…
There are many things I like (and dislike), although even among those, there's someone that I adore more than ANYTHING ever! That person is THE STAR of this world and its MOST POWERFUL warrior, however more so than anything, she's my Mama!
I love to hear people talking about her whether it be about her qualities, her skills in cooking (that others assume must be amazing, but in reality it's either a hit or miss), fighting, power, beauty, and personality; I really like when people compliment Mama!
Everyone likes her a lot. Though at times there are some odd fans too who cross the boundary by trying to get a little too close or…wear very tacky clothes with Mama drawn on them…still, the worst is when they STALK HER! I've only ever met one or two people like that and when I faced them, one just ran away while the other apologised and left; I really hate such people, they disgust me and somehow it's always boys who behave that way. The only boys or I should say, the only 'guys' who get a pass are some people from Central 20 and Uncle Ari.
Anyways, ignoring pointless people, where was I again? Mama! Yes, I love Mama more than anyone! (Mama is number 1, Sis was number 2 before but I think she's gonna be 3 now, and Uncle Ari will take number 2 spot because Sis nags at me a bit too much at times which I don't like).
I love it when Mama hugs me, it makes all my worries vanish away and calms me down in her warm embrace.
I love it when Mama pats my head, it makes me all fuzzy and happy on the inside.
I love it when Mama does my hair, we try out all types of cute hairstyles. She cut my hair short recently to try something new out, I wonder how it'll look.
I love it when Mama sleeps beside me with her hands curled around me, it makes me feel the safest and strongest in the whole world.
I love Mama and Mama loves me, could there be anything else in this world I could ask for? Maybe so, yet I don't want anyone else that isn't Mama.
That's about all the things I dislike and like (that I could remember from the top of my head). However, my dear imaginary friend (for whom I still haven't thought up a name), why is it that I am telling you about all of these things which I've probably told you about countless times already? It's because there's nothing else I can do other than laying on this bed since yesterday!
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! You! When is Mama going to come!?"
(OW! It hurts to speak loudly…) I asked the one who is somewhere by the door, they are definitely inside the room though.
"You could tell I am in here?"
"Yes, I can sense someone nearby, who are you? I know you aren't Mama"
I replied in a smoother tone.
"Uh, I am Eina, a new nurse here" From the tone of her voice, she sounds like an older mature person (I can't see her from my position and moving is hard) humm…
"Ms Eina, may I ask something?"
shuffle shuffle
"Sure…what is it?" She said, I can hear soft rustling sounds from the opposite side, if I had to take a guess, she's rummaging through something in the cabinets.
"Were you the one who helped me out yesterday? I vaguely remember someone holding and helping me walk"
I still can't remember what exactly Mama fed me that got me in this condition, although I do remember that when I woke up, someone held and brought me to the bed.
"Ah yes, I am the one who did that, it startled me when–...(Hm? Why'd she stop?) uh how are you feeling now?" She questioned, standing beside me now. She…looks good (but not better than Mama).
"Thank you for your help Ms Eina, I might've fallen if you weren't here"
"No need to be so formal, just call me Eina, you are of an important position unlike me" She has a shy smile.
"No no, how could I, Mama taught me to be respectful no matter what my position is"
"Haha, good girl aren't you?... The Queen huh…" Saying that she's turned her face away. Odd…this is the first time someone appears to be…so dejected hearing about Mama.
"What do you think of Mam- no I mean, the 2nd Top Lord, what do you think of her?"
I probed, shifting and tilting my head in the bed slightly towards her.
"She wa– no, she's an amazing person, her charisma is way too high, an amount that shouldn't be humanly possible, I am a big fan" Why does she keep changing her words…and her expression…it doesn't look cheerful like others when they talk about being Mama's fan. However, I don't dislike this, it's good to see a levelheaded person who doesn't act all weird when talking about this.
"I see… There's one more thing I want to ask"
"Sure, go ahead, I am listening" She said, turning away and walking back towards the cabinets.
"What date is it today? It must've been at least a few days that I've been here given I am unable to even move anymore due to whatever I ate"
I inquired… She's frozen in her spot before she reached her destination.
"That's…I won't tell you. (Eh? What does she mean by that…?) You need to get up and find that out yourself, that's the game" She answered, turning her face towards and flashed a warm smile…
"At least a hint then!"
"No hints! That's the punishment for you" She's bending herself a little towards me with her hands on her waist.
"What punishment? I didn't even do anything!"
"...Exactly, you didn't do 'it', you didn't introduce yourself to me" Ah…she does have a point… I completely forgot to do that…so ill-mannered of me…
"Sorry…it escaped my mind, I am Rebecca, 10 (Thysia) years old and am the 8th lord of the provision"
"Nice to meet you, Ms 8th lord" She responded gleefully, bending forward and patting my head. Normally I'd dislike it if a person does something like this other than Mama or someone I am close with, but Ms Eina seems like a nice person (and much better than those other fans). This is an actual proper mature adult.
"It's been a bit of time since you've been here, that's all I'll say" Saying that, she waved at me and left to do her work.
growl…!
Ah…I am hungry… Wait…have I even brushed ever since I came here? What about my hair? Has anyone washed them…? Eh… I must be incredibly smelly right now…ugh…ew… Mama what have you done to me ughhh…
