Rei soon finished her favorite poem, The Raven, and closed the book with a snap. She could smell the fragrance of breakfast wafting up from the kitchens and smiled to herself. She hopped off her completely black bed and walked through her messy floor to the door that led out of her room. Opening the door she poked her head out and looked down the hallway. Amazingly no one was awake. Usually the younger children would be running along the halls while her parents or older brothers would be telling them to stop. She didn't mind the quiet, it just seemed odd.
Slipping out into the hall she shut her door with a click and then began to walk down the marble floor. Her stockings caused her to slide on the marble and she made a sort of game of it. She would slide along like she was iceskating, spinning and jumping. When she got to the stairs that spiraled down to the first floor she ran down them, skipping a few here and there. At the last set of steps she jumped clear over them and landed on the floor cat-like. She looked around before straightening herself and sliding along the marble, once again, to the dining all.
As she thought she would she found the place completely empty. For some reason she loved the way her voice would echo off the walls in the over-sized room.
"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!" She called just for the sake of hearing the echo's. She gave a childish laugh and then sat down in one of the many comfortable dining chairs. She rested her elbow on the table and then her head in her hand. Her dyed bluish hair was it's usual mess, always having that windblownt look to it. She hardly ever fixed her hair. She simply kept it the way it was, brushing it once in the morning then never touching it again. This morning she hadn't brushed it at all and it was sticking out more than ever.
A bored expression remained on her face as she waited for the others to come down or for breakfast to be served. The scent of all the different foods made her stomach rumble loudly and she slapped it telling it to shut up. She was always weird like that. Telling inanimate things to do things. It was just another factor to add onto her list of oddness.
