Astrid has never stepped out her house. She didn't know that her parents hitting her wasn't right. She always thought that's how it works. So what happens when her mother dies and step father runs away.

When I woke up it was still dark. Adrian had his arms around me so I couldn't move at all. I lay there for a thinking about different stuff when I realized I've never seen the sunrise. Maybe I can see it today since I'm already awake.
I poked Adrian's cheek. "Adrian wake up."
He didn't move.
"Adrian. Adrian. Adrian."
"What?" He groaned.
"Can we please go see the sunrise."
He opened his eyes to glare at me. "No. Sleep, it's better."
I giggled. He's cute when he's grumpy. "But I want to see the sunrise. Please."
He sighed. "Okay. But I'm using the bathroom first."
He started getting up but I interrupted him. "Nuh-uh. I'm going first."
He frowned. Now he looks like a child ready to throw a tantrum. "You can't have everything."
I giggled. "Yes I can." I ran into the bathroom saying that.
I did my business and got out to see Adrian sleeping again. "Adrian wake up."
"I'm up." He groaned and walked into the bathroom.
I looked around in the closet for my clothes. I decided to go for a cute little white dress with yellow flowers on it.
I knocked on the bathroom door to tell Adrian not to come out until I say so.
Then I quickly put on my dress and started brushing my hair.
"Are you done yet," Adrian asked from the bathroom.
"Oh, yes yes I'm done. Sorry."
Adrian came out went to the closet took out a t-shirt wore it and said, "I'm ready."
Boys have it so easy. No trouble getting dressed. Just throw something on and done.
I finished brushing my hair and left it down because I still can't tie my hair. Then I took another brush from the dresser and walked up to Adrian.
He raised his brow. "What?"
I signed and climbed onto the bed. Then I pulled him down and made him sit infront of me. I started brushing his hair. Going out without brushing hair seems a little extreme to me.
Adrian just sat there while I combed through his completely untangled hair.
"Done." I put the brush down.
Adrian nodded standing up. "Let's go."
We sneakily walked out of the room and towards the front door.
Adrian pointed to the car standing outside and I went to sit inside. He climbed into the driver's seat and we drove off.
The stopped after sometime and Adrian said, "we have to walk the rest."
We walked up. Many people were here to watch the sunrise like us. I'm still not very comfortable with many people but this is and open space and Adrian's with me, so I'll be fine.
We sat down in a corner with the least amount of people.
We sat there for a while before the sun started coming up.
"It's so beautiful." I gasped.
"It is."
We sat there, cuddling long after the sun came up. Most people have left by then but I didn't want to move. I liked it here.
"We should go-" Adrian was interrupted by his phone ringing. "It's dad."
He talked on the phone, informing papa where we are before turning to me. "Come on let's go."
I whined but got up. "Can we please come back here tomorrow?"
Adrian nodded and walked behind me.
______________________________________
Adrian lied. We didn't go back the next day. Instead we were now in Santorini and this place is amazing. I got up to see the sunrise here as well.
It was afternoon now, but I'm still sitting in the balcony looking out to the ocean.
"Astrid, darling."
I turned around to see papa coming to sit with me. I smiled and leaned into him.
Papa caressed my head. "Would you like to go out with me today?"
"Of course. Where?"
"Dinner. I thought maybe we could have a dinner date." Papa blushed. Adorable.
"Yes I'd love that."
Papa breathed out a sigh of relief. Did he think I'd say no?
"I'll go get ready." I skipped out into my room. I have my own room here.
I took a shower, blow dried my hair which caused it to turn poofy. It never happened when Daemon did it, I must've done something wrong. Now what am I gonna do?
I tried to think of one person that can solve my hair problem. No one came to mind other than Daemon. Why do they all have to be so useless?
I sighed. I picked up my phone to call Daemon.

I stared at the woman tied to the chair.
"Why?"
She snarled. "What do you mean why? I didn't do anything."
I sighed. "Esmeralda -"
"What the hell! Since when is it Esmeralda. It's's Esme."
I shook my head. "Why did you try to harm Astrid?"
"She was getting in between us."
"How?"
"She was ruining our relationship."
"No she wasn't. You ruined our relationship."
"No you fucker. If she hadn't appeared out of nowhere you would've married me by now."
"I wouldn't. I've only ever seen you as my best friend. Nothing more nothing less."
She scoffed. "Then why did you help me? Why did you save me from my father everytime? Are you telling me that wasn't love?"
"No. That was love. But platonic."
"Liar."
I rubbed my hand on my forehead. "I don't want to continue this conversation."
"I'm sorry it came down to this," I said pointing my gun at her.
She looked surprised. "You're going to kill me? For her?"
"Yes Emse. Anything for her."
Her eyes widened as I shot the bullet. Blood splattered at me as it hit her between her eyes. I slowly walked up to her dead body and closed her eyes. No matter what she did, she was my best friend. Her dead body will be treated as such. "Clean the body and deliver it to the Guzmáns'. Respectfully."
"Yes, sir."
I walked out of the basement of our warehouse when my phone rang. Alora.
I was going to pick up her call when I realized I was covered in blood. I signed. "Sorry darling. Not now." I whispered to myself.

Daemon didn't pick up. Now what do I do?
I was thinking of ways to get rid of this frizzy hair when someone knocked on the door. "Come in."
Anubis walked and burst out laughing. "What the hell happened to your hair?"
"It's not funny. I have to go out and I'm getting late. Do you know how to fix it?"
Anubis shook his head. "But Xavier might. He spends hours in front of the mirror fixing his hair. I'll go call him."
A few moments later Anubis was back with Xavier, Xander and Gabriel.
They blinked but didn't laugh like Anubis did.
"Maybe brush your hair," Gabriel suggested.
"I did but it turned even more poofy."
"Oh I know," Xavier exclaimed. "You should put some hair gel on it. Make it sleek and pretty."
Xander frowned. "I have a feeling it's going to end really badly."
