Serene's Land

Story Time

"Once up on a time, in the woods there was a land called Serene. The land was ruled by a werewolf king Lucifer and his human mate Alexandra. The Land was called serene because the people and the atmosphere of the kingdom were always peaceful..."

"Just like my sister Serene Right, mom" My little brother Luis asks mom beaming at her and as always interrupting the story. I face palm myself.

"Yes Darling!! Just like your sister" Mom replies to him patting his head.

She always says that I am special and from childhood i have been always been calm and peaceful unlike other children and that’s why my name suits me the most. After all she is my mother, so obviously i will be special for her and no mother will speak badly about their children, right?  Luis and I are blessed with great parents. We have a happy family. 

My thoughts are interrupted when mom says that its bed time and picks Luis up from my bed. She kisses me goodnight and walks towards the door carrying Luis who shouts goodnight to me from her arms. I wish both my mom and little brother goodnight and switches off the light.

Daily night mom tells us different stories before going to sleep. Though I am 17 years old, soon to be 18, still i am her little girl and will always love hearing her stories. She has got great imagination. She tells stories about vampires, werewolves, witches and what not, ha-ha...But mainly all stories happen in "Serene Land". Mom has even created a land on my name in her imagination, Funny right? I know...but she loves me a lot and I love her too. I am blessed to have a family that loves me so much....Oh! By the way when I said about my age I remembered it's just one more month for my birthday. I will be turning 18 in one month. I am always super excited about my birthday. 

Last birthday, when i turned 17 my parents had gifted me a new phone and Luis... he gifted me a handmade card filled with his drawings and paintings. It was super cute, you know? I still have it with me; obviously I keep all my gifts safely. Each gift has lots of love in them. It's not about the material but it's about the affection towards me of the heart that gifted it. I cherish it. My best friends gifted me a dress with ballerinas. I loved it. And my birthdays are celebrated with these special people. I have just few close people in my life but am more than content with that. Quality matters and not quantity right? hahaha...Moreover i don't like much attention and to be honest I completely lack a social life. That doesn't mean that I am hated by everyone and people bully me and all. No, that never happens with me. I do talk with people and till now no enemies in life but it's just that i don't like big crowd, partying, loud noise and all. So I just stick with my close people and avoid dramas. I always celebrate my birthday at home with Dad, mom, Luis and my best friends. They never miss it. Last birthday my parents had made it the best birthday of my life. They took work off and even asked us to take leave from school. Never once, my parents let us take leave but that day was different. To be honest they were even acting weird, as if that was the last birthday of mine which we were celebrating together. And when i said next year I will turn 18, Mom got emotional for that, god knows for what. I know they love me lot and might be that's why they were behaving that way...God, I am an over thinker. 

I don't know what surprises are waiting me for my 18th birthday.... with that being my last thought I slip into my dreamland , my land, Srene's land.
