Rise of the Darkness

CHAPTER 01

" Wake up Sophie, we have to go. Or you'll be late for the gala." Calla said to her niece.

" Yay!!! I'm going to buy a lot of stuff today. You promised." Sophie replied excitedly

"Of course honey. But first, you need to see your costume." Calla said with a grin.

"Costume?" Sophie asked in confusion.

" You really thought I'm going to take you to a fantasy gala in normal clothes. I bought you a princess gown. Here let me show you." Calla replied and unzipped the cover. She showed her niece a beautiful pink gown with sparkling crystal baby pumps. A loud gasp escaped Sophie's lips and her eyes shone like millions of stars in a night. Looking at her excited face, Calla asked her niece.

"Do you like it honey?" Calla asked.

" I love it, aunt Calla. Thank you so much." Sophie replied and clapped her hands.

" Then get up and get ready. We have breakfast and then we will leave." Calla said.

" Okay." Saying that Sophie went to the bathroom to do her morning business. Calla already filled the bathtub with warm water and Sophie's favorite Jasmine fragrance. Calla left the room and went back to the kitchen to get the breakfast ready. After she was done, she went back to Sophie's bathroom to help her bath. Calla wrapped a towel around Sophie and stepped out of the bathroom with Sophie in her arms. She helped Sophie to get ready, after that they went to the dinning table where Sophie was welcomed by the mouth watering aroma of cheese omelette and ginger bread. She requested her aunt to make these things for her and Calla never ignored Sophie's wishes. They sat together and Calla fed her niece with so much love. Finishing their breakfast, they got up, Calla locked the house and they went to their car. Calla made Sophie sit then they drove off.

After a 45 minutes drive, Calla parked her car and they went to the fantasy gala. Finally, Sophie was happy and that's all that matters for Calla. A month ago Sophie's parents and Calla's step sister and brother in law died in a car accident. Since then Calla was trying so hard to bring her niece back to her life. But it was hard to pull her out of the sorrows. The gala finally brought Sophie's smile back. Calla was happy too. Sophie was having a lot of fun, she played so many games and won so many prizes. Then she saw a cotton candy shop. Jumping in happiness she asked Calla. " Can we buy some cotton candy please. I promise I won't eat any candies for 3 days."

" It's okay baby. Today is your day. So you can have whatever you want and I won't stop you." Calla replied.
