All Chapters of Vanilla : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My first thought as the car I am in drives past each house in Aeria is me wondering how unfair it is that they live like this.I mean all things considered, I am in horrible trouble as it is but when you see people wearing fur coat like it's a summer dress walking a dog that looks like it was custom made, you begin to feel like you are underdressed even though you wore your leather jacket that cost you about a hundred bucks and jeans that probably did not cost you much but it meant a lot to you."Don't do that"My Aunt Penelope's voice is what stops me from tapping my nails on the windows of the car as I stop to look at her.For one thing, she is over dressed.Not that I have any right to judge but we came from Vino, the very ugly and opposite side of Aeria which is under the state Kumari.You know how every side has the good and the bad?Exactly, except Vino was not just bad, it was a terrible place where the air smelt like burnt tyres and rotten eggs.I might be the car with rolled

"He hates me"I give a slight chuckle, inspecting at my nails, which of course are perfect "Don't fret darling. He hates everyone""Is that supposed to make me feel better?""Less worse was the aim, love"She stays quiet again, the sound of water falling from the shower in my bathroom the only thing making a sound between us as I make mental notes.Easy to please?Check.Kind hearted?Check.Naive?Check.I hear the shower stop now, my head turning slightly to the side as I see her come out, wet hair all over her face and shoulder with my white towel over her body.I stand from my chair, the figure catching my attention as she purses her lips, blue eyes going around the room "So? What next?"I stop my momentary perverted ogling, smiling as I come closer to her then grabbing her roughly to my chest, a small protest leaving her lips before I rest my nose in the crook of her neck.Chocolate.She smells like me.I want to lick her neck. What would happen if I do it right now? Would she le

I've naturally always been a mess.That was what Ma always sang when I was little, just like it was a hymn and I believed her.But I always tried my best to not be a mess.Before Aunt Penelope left, she had held my hand tight, all the veins on it showing as she said "Vanessa. I want you to understand that this place, is your only hope out of prison. I don't want— I don't want any tricks. Do you understand?"Just because I wanted to see her smile since all this seriousness was really unsettling me, I saluted "Yes ma'am!"It didn't move her "I'm serious Nessa" Then she sighed "Look. They are some rumours about this place—"I raised an eyebrow, confused "Rumours?"She doesn't complete the sentence anyway, shaking her head as she holds me tighter and says "Promise me you'd be good"Okay, scary as hell "Okay"Her eyes looked bloodshot at that moment "Vanessa"I nodded hurriedly "Okay!" Taking out the golden crucifix that I've had ever since I was born, I placed a kiss on it "I promise on m

Vanessa, darling. Where are you? Mommy wants to play.If you tell your Father about our little game, I would cut off your tongue!Stop that blasted crying!I jerk from the bed, panting heavily as I look around the room. The lights are off but the window is open, letting the curtains that are yellow with some Winnie the Pooh characters on them as I stare at the moon.Crescent.I shiver a bit as I realize I've been sweating again but I don't want to stay in this room anymore.I had never liked the idea of staying alone.Mother Superior knew that and when she felt like beating me to pieces wasn't actually going to do much, she'd send me to the cellar, keep me there for days till she knew I was weak from screaming too loud.But of course no one knew.I couldn't dare be ungrateful.Even I, with my big mouth, knew that.I quickly take the yellow blanket on my bed and wrap it around my body then begin to walk outside the room.The whole house is eerily dark and quiet but I don't want to stop

Yesterday, Doc takes me to get some clothes (I had to wear her sweater and sweatpants out but I honestly doubt I'd ever return it) and my uniform.Not that I ever saw it after she bought it.When we returned, she asked what else I'd like to have in my room, as something personal for me since she had been the one who actually made the room and would like it if I left my own signature piece.Chocolate has his personal changing room.Caramel has a mini library.Cream has a water dispenser (turns out he's a fish. Are you surprised? I'm not)And Strawberry has a punching bag in his own room. Obviously, it's a sign of him needing help but I'm not saying a word about it.I, on the other hand, get five teddy bears.Why am I being the creepy teddy girl?Well, I'm glad you asked.Asides from the obvious fact that I'm absolutely terrified of sleeping alone because of the dreams I have, I also wanted to make sure Chocolate never has space to stay on my bed again so I can just sleep in peace.But
