Solo il tempo conosce il nostro destino

Chapter 5

"Hmm la la~ A la la la~" Feliciana 'sang' as she finished sewing up some blankets that needed fixing. "There we go~" She said cheerfully. Feliciana carefully folded up the last blanket and placed it in a small basket filled with the other blankets. The girl stood up, took the basket, and walked out the door to one of the many hallways filling this mansion.

Feliciana hummed and opened a door to a closet. Putting the basket on the floor in front of the door, she began to put away the blankets. When she was done, Feliciana picked up the basket again and started walking downstairs to the laundry room.

Down there, she spotted her brother. "Lovino!" She cried out happily. Feliciana ran up and hugged him.

"Get off me, stupido!" Lovino said pushing her off. Feliciana giggled and poked him. "Stop that." Lovino sighed. "What's got you in such a good mood?"

"Lady Elizabeta said she'd give me some of her older dresses!" Feliciana said dreamily. "Like, some of her pretty and fancy dresses!" Lowering her voice the Italian added, "Kinda like the ones I wore when I was little!"

Lovino rolled his eyes. "You're thinking about dresses when we have to work? Feli, you can be a little ridiculous sometimes."

"So you're telling me you don't ever think about when we lived in Rome with Grandpa? The parties, the food, the music?" Feliciana asked in disbelief. "Don't you miss that?"

"Of course I do." Lovino said. "That's why maybe if we work hard enough, we can get all those riches back. It'll be just like old times."

Feliciana smiled widely. "That sounds magnificent, fratello." She poked his forehead, a small amount of light erupting from her finger when she did so. "And maybe we can live not having to hide who we truly are."

Rolling his eyes again, Lovino put his sister's hand down. "Sure, but for now try to not to expose it."

"Sorry!" Feliciana squeaked. She gave Lovino another quick hug before darting out the door saying, "I gotta get back to work now!"

"See you later!" Lovino yelled back.

Putting the brush down, Feliciana began to braid her hair. She was sitting in front of a mirror on the wall that was next to the large window in her room. A small desk was underneath the mirror. The Italian girl sighed dreamily. Working at the mansion was great.

They had to wake up early, but they all got a break at some point in the day. Feliciana's was normally from 1 to 2:30. Sometimes it even lasted til 3!

The work was never too hard. Sewing, cleaning and folding laundry, and rearranging clothes and blankets were all apart of a normal day for Feliciana. Although sometimes she would put away dishes, sweep the floors, and dust various objects around the estate. She would get a little bit more money when she needed to do these things.

Lovino would often dust, sweep, mop, and sometimes garden. His breaks were normally at the same times as Feliciana's. They would go to one of their rooms and just talk about the day. Sometimes they drew pictures or even practiced dancing, still remembering how it was done. They discussed money and what they were going to do with it. Lovino had insisted that Feliciana use it for herself, but she didn't want to spend it on herself while Lovino saved for other things the two of them wanted.

"I can make him things." Feliciana whispered. That was it! She could buy materials for things and make Lovino presents.

Feliciana could tell that he was always stressed out about everything. Yes, they were in a good situation, but he wanted more for them. Maybe making him presents could make him happier. And hey, maybe Feliciana could even sell stuff! She could make decent dresses and stuffed animals, not to mention she was a wonderful artist.

They could very possibly get enough money to move out on their own. Workers weren't required to live at the estate. Actually, money was taken out of their paychecks since they lived there and ate there.

With her mind at peace Feliciana climbed into her bed and fell fast asleep.
