Delivered To The Alpha

After a long horrible coma of three years, Pearl was back on her feet to celebrate her 23rd birthday. She was so happy finally seeing her friends and family after three years.

No one could ever believe that a simple fall into a slope could put Pearl into a three years coma.

After all the years of lost hope, Pearl was back in good health. She has always been that brave red-haired girl with sharp blue eyes who never fears anybody. She's also known to be good with swords and fly kicks. She's, in general, a strong girl.

"I am so happy to see you this strong and happy, Pearl. We literally lost hope of seeing you alive!" Seren said as she styled Pearl's hair beautifully.

"I know, right? I am so happy seeing my lovely besties again; I can't imagine what it'd look like losing you two!" She said with a smile as the three friends hugged warmly.

"It's your first birthday after three years. We will make sure we pimp you real good for the guest to see you, you know?… You will be having lots of friends and fiend's in the party, so you gotta be hundred percent good-looking" Rosamund said as a smile curved Pearl's lips.

"I am just so lucky to have you girls as friends; thank you so much for supporting me,'' she said, making a puppy face as Rosamund picked the nail polish.

"I am thinking of the color to use for your toenails, Seren. What do you think?" Rosamund asked as Seren clicked her fingers.

"White will be perfect for Pearl, especially as she has giant toenails," Seren teased as they all laughed.

Pearl could see her parents standing by the corner and whispering stuff; they seemed so uneasy as they talked and made suspicious gestures. Pearl wasn't just concentrating on whatever her parents might be discussing because of her fun dialogue with her friends.

After some minutes, her mom walked in with a smile on her face.

"My baby! You're looking so gorgeous today! I can't wait for the guests to see how lovely you look in your outer cloth, Seren and Rosamund. You girls are doing a great job here. Kudos… Just round up quickly. The party starts in a few minutes," her mom said and pecked her cheeks softly.

"Almost done, ma'am," Seren and Rosamund said in unison as Pearl's mom hurried out "your mom looks so happy today! Ever since you left, she has never smiled; I am so happy seeing her this happy!" Seren said and placed the beautiful hairpin on Pearl's hair as Pearl gently stood up with a smile facing the mirror as she turned, making her gown dance around.

"Your outer cloth looks stunning, Pearl," Rosamund said as Pearl looked down at the dress.

"I know, right?… I love floral clothes, and this one suits my red hair perfectly," she said as her hands rubbed the gown.

"You'd better start going down to meet the guest. I am sure they are eager to see you," Seren said as Pearl walked gently out of the room.

I gently walked down the broken Marble made floor with my fingers trailing through the rusted railings as I held my gown to avoid falling from the stairs.

I could see how everyone danced happily with glasses of cocktails in their hands. The sound of the music was so loud that I couldn't hear myself.

I finally got to the ball ground, and everyone cheered upon seeing me. I knew that most of them didn't come to celebrate with me but came to check me out so they could have what to say to the other villagers.

I looked around the bright hall and sighted my parents saying stuff to themselves. I couldn't stop wondering what could be going on; they seemed so disturbed, all I just wanted was to approach them and ask them what the problem was, but I held myself back because of the presence of the guest.

I sighted the rich people in a secluded spot in their really expensive sported hose and a jacket for the men and flowing gowns matching with an elaborate headwear for the women. They looked so classic; I could tell my parent's monthly pay in knights farm yard wouldn't even buy the hand fan.

"Thank you all for coming to my party; I really appreciate you all for honoring my invite."

"There aren't many drinks at your Party'' one of the guests said as they all brushed into laughter, making me kinda sad. I didn't just want to throw my shoes to the fat, pot-bellied man because of the presence of the high mannered rich people.

They only came to my party because I have helped them in one way or another, not like we are a thing.

"My dear, take this money and get whatever you want to keep you in good health," one of the rich ladies said and gave me some pieces of coins while the others did the same. I could tell that they were ready to leave.
