 Azule Williams 

Azule opens her green eyes to the sound of her alarm clock. She reaches over and shuts it off, letting off a massive yawn which makes her eyes water. She rubs at them while sitting up then places her glasses on her nose, her sight gradually coming back into focus as they adjust to the gloom. Her curtains were drawn tightly and the shutters tight, letting next to no light in. Azule frowns. Her mom always opened them before leaving for work. She found that strange but didn’t think much of it. She wiggles away from her covers with just her underwear from the night before. Her eyes scan the room with a slight frown. Something felt different… Then it hit her. Her clothes, which had normally been piled into a corner, not having a laundry basket, were gone. She lets out a sigh of relief. Her mom must have taken them and cleaned them. She smiles to herself, grateful her mother had gone through the trouble.

Azule yawns once more and rises from her soft bed, leaving the covers a mess. She would clean it later. Wiping her eyes around her glasses, she moves to the door and opens it, expecting for her dog to come running. She frowns when he doesn’t. ”Bray? Here, boy!” She calls, ears straining for any noise down the short hallway. It alarmed her when nothing happened. She walks warily down the hallway, searching through the living room without finding him. His leash was gone and then she relaxes. It was Saturday… Her mom must have just taken him for a walk.  She moves into the kitchen, thinking of having a bowl of cereal. It surprised her when a plate of pancakes sits on the table, seemingly fresh. Her eyes scan the room nervously, thinking it must surely be a joke. Her mom hadn’t made pancakes in years and it wasn’t like her to just leave them without a flourish. Wearily, she sits at the table, a knot of tension sitting in her stomach. She just couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

After a moment, Azule picks up the fork beside the plate and takes a few bites. They were perfect, even completed with the chocolate chips in the batter like she used to love as a child. She can only manage a few bites before pushing herself away from the table and standing. The tension wouldn’t leave her and she didn’t have much of an appetite. Moving back to her room, she decides to take a shower, but, upon opening the closet door, she finds… Nothing. At least nothing familiar. 

Sitting inside is a rather nice outfit of expensive looking clothing. Sitting on top is a rather simple black beanie with a white insignia of a lion’s head, standing out among the black. Underneath that is a black jacket, made of a soft and flexible material she hadn’t seen or heard of before. It was quite nice. The jacket has the insignia planted on the shoulder. Under that is a simple white long sleeved shirt with the same insignia, only planted on a red background. Matching this is a black skirt, made of the same material, which would reach slightly past her knees. Along with that are a pair of white socks, longer than average as she liked. Lastly, were a pair of black sneakers.

Azule stands back, her brow contorted as she tries to think of some sort of an explanation. It must be some kind of prank… It would seem like something her dad would do, however, he was on one of his big secret business trips… ‘More like affair’... Azule thinks bitterly to herself. She pushes the thought out of her head. She sighs and decides to think it over in the cold of a shower. 

Azule undresses herself as she walks into the bathroom down the hall. Turning the water to cold, she climbs in. The knot in her stomach only seemed to increase with each passing moment and with a shuddering sigh, she turns off the water. She steps onto a towel and dries herself. She didn’t bother with makeup unless it was a formal occasion. She felt it made her look fake, and honestly, it just made her uncomfortable. Wandering back to her room due to the lack of clothes, she sighs. There was no sign of her mom but she still didn’t want to wander around her house naked. Reluctantly, she pulls on the outfit. Moving back to the bathroom, she glances at herself in the mirror and it surprised her. She actually looked quite cute, with her hair wet and just brushing her outfit. She offers a small smile to herself before heading back to her room.

Azule is still smiling as she walks back into her room, closing the door behind her. She flinches as the insignia on her jacket lights up. She lets out a startled squeak, stumbling back into the door as though to get away from it. She frowns as she notices the tablet which she swore hadn’t been on her desk moments before lights up. It seemed to stand on it’s own, but with closer inspection, she can see the stand holding it up. She backs up to her overhead light switch and flicks it on, squinting at the sudden light in her gloomy room. She walks hesitantly to the tablet. ”Greetings.” Azule frowns at the simple line, then the pulsing line underneath. ”Get started.” Azule picks up the tablet, examining it from every side. Nothing… NOTHING… ‘How does that even work…?’ She mutters to herself. Seeing no other option, she hits the ‘get started’ button. She squeaks as the machine pokes her, drawing blood. Azule glares down at it. That didn’t even make sense… Suddenly a voice started in her ears. Azule stumbles away from it, dropping it in the process as it explains. With a sudden understanding, Azule glances at her alarm clock… She had 3 hours to arrive at the airport. The airport was a long way and she didn’t exactly have transportation. With a small sigh to herself at the inconvenience, she grabs a water bottle from the kitchen, fastens it to her pants, tucks the tablet under an arm and begins the trek to the airport.

Along the way, Azule reflects on everything that had happened. It all made a strange sort of sense… At least in why she was different. She sips on the water bottle as she walks, fiddling with the sleeves of her jacket the whole way, switching which arm carries the tablet. 

After about 2 ½ hours, Azule arrives at the airport. She approaches the receptionist wearily, painfully looking out of place. She offers a small smile.  “H-hi… I’m Azule Williams.. I think I have a ticket to… Enlightenment?” Azule replies uncertainly. Within minutes, she has her ticket and is on the plane in first class. She was terrified. She had never rode in an airplane before, but she did read a lot about how they work and how safe they were. She glances around nervously as the plane starts, the cabin seemingly empty which terrified her. The knot that had been in her stomach all morning had been growing and just reached it’s worse as the airplane takes off. She gazes out at the window to pass time, though her eyes dart wearily around the cabin anxiously. She keeps the tablet on the seat beside her but refuses to touch it.
