Twelve South facing thirty foot open windows letting in a warm breeze and the smell of the apple blossoms form the orchard next door. Filing out was the sound of Bac, Beethoven, Cannon by Johann Pachelbel, Mozart, and other songs from classical composers played by a girl with icy cold water dripping down her back and onto her shirt and shoulders while a ballerina danced along with the songs and a brother and a friend sat, listened, and watched, while the brother is also thinking. This had been going on all day for 4 days
The wet girl that was playing the piano is named Sam. Sam is a 7 year old American living in New York City with her American Dad during school terms and lives with her brother Anthony and supposedly her English Mother in England during Summer Holiday. The ballerina's name is Haven. Haven is of Spanish/German/French/Austrian descendant but moved to the U.K. at the age of 4 with her mother and father but her mother died a year later. Haven is now 8 1/2, loves dancing, and is the only friend Sam has since Victoria's death. The brother, Sam's brother, is 16 year old Anthony who lives in the family estate in the U.K. since he was 13 years old. Lucifar is Anothny's friend. Lucifar is an orphan living on his own with a huge inheritance since he's the only living member of his successful family who is also 16. Now the parents, -_- sigh I feel sorry for the children. Sam and Anothny's parents are two levels down from being CEO's of Practical and Elegant Architect and Steven and Stacy's Fashion and Design. They call their father by Heath the only time they see him is on vacations and holidays while Sam is dragged in on Saturdays. Their Mother is Mother, but also known as Catherin and Sam doesn't seen her for more than an hour when it isn't a holiday or a family gathering, but Mother usually brings work home for a few days when Sam isn't at the Family estate she sometimes uses the house as show rooms and Anthony for a model. Sam's Mother doesn't like Sam, she's angry and scared of Sam and she keeps her distance from Sam because of an accident when Sam was 4 and moved to England and took Anthony with her. Haven's parents are Spanish/German and French/Austrian who fell in love during a school trip to Italy, married after finishing school, and moved to England because of witness protection, but Haven's mother got shot and died. Haven's father worked with Catherin so Haven lived at the estate while her father went to Steven and Stacy's Fashion and Design HQ in Austria, where he is now but is on a business trip.
Since Victoria's death Haven has been endlessly practicing her dance routine and viola part for an ensemble. She practices for 19 hours a day and sleeps for 4, since it's summer holiday in England Lucifar has been put in charge of her, and things haven't gotten any better. When someone told Sam that Victoria died Sam wouldn't have reacted as bad as she did, but the person that told her didn't just tell her that Victoria died they described Victoria's body worse than it was and described how she died to make her death intentional instead of accidental. Sam went to the most isolated place she was allowed at school and stayed there until her Father picked her up an hour later. She locked herself in her room in New York City for 3 days on the morning of day 4 Her father found her in the bathroom with her head totally submerged in water of 40 degrease and the temperature of the room was 35 degrease and was still dropping. Then She was sent to the family estate after Victoria's funeral were Anthony could keep an eye on her for the whole day For the next 2 days Sam drifted from room to room staring at a TV, a wall, out a window, anything the was in her sight, until they found her again in a bathroom with the same water temperature and the same room temperature happening again every one thought that Sam was trying to kill herself. But this time Sam went straight to the music room and started to play the organ and rehearse her dance routine with the same constant force that was making Haven dance and play the viola.
That brings us to this morning when Anthony found Sam eating an apple in the small kitchen. Anthony noticed that Sam's hair was wet so he thought that Sam took a shower and was getting something to eat, until he put his hand on her head and awoke to the cold temperature of Sam's hair was Anthony grabbed her arm and felt that her arm was also cold, he was going to scold her, but he was confused because she was acting as if was a normal day. Anthony told Lucifar what he found and his thoughts about Sam's state of mind, and that was the only thing said that day between the four of them.
"Christina e-mailed me few days ago telling me about two openings in a camp and asked if Haven and I could go and join her since Victoria can't join her now. Do you think our parents will lets us go?"
Thing was the first time one of the two girls talked since Victoria's death.
"If you stop trying to kill your self Heath will think about it."Replied Anthony.
"I am not trying to kill myself, I am trying to shock myself out of depression and to make myself think clearly. I got the idea out of a book I read.It has been working hasn't it?."
Lucifar and Anthony looked at her in disbelief.
"Observe." Sam took a bucket from her side that is filled with the water from this morning. She walked to the dance floor waiting until Haven danced close to her, when Haven reached Sam she dumped the bucket of ice cold water onto Haven. Haven instantly stopped, wiped some water out of her eyes.
"What poss-" Sam turned the bucket upside down and and put it on Haven's head before she could say any more, turned, and asked "Any questions?"
