Acting Rich
Elician: Cleopatra? A lovely name that… oops I mean you have a lovely name.
Cleopatra: aww, honey thank you so much.
(Mom Interrupters)
MoM: Okay miss Clopatara, nice to meet you.
Can I help you with that?
She took Elician's fingers out of hers.
Cleopatra: Excuse me!
( She was about to point daggers at her for making fun of her name)
"You idi…."
( She noticed the resemblance between mother and son)
" Um, I mean I am very glad to meet you, I am guessing you are his sister.."
Mom: I am the mother.
Cleopatra was A Bit unsure about it.
" But you look so young to be a mother….."
Mom: I'm beautiful , I know.
Elician was dumbstruck hearing how rude mom was.
Cleopatra feeling belittled, forced a smile on her face." So what's your name my prince?"
Mom didn't like the way the lady was acting towards his son at all. If it weren't for the fact that people were staring in the distance,she would have pushed her away by now. Trying to act gently restricted her from her full potential. Being rich is not that good.Now she has to cope with that.
Elician: Electric…damnit…
Cleopatra: Your name is Electric Damnit?
(Elician tried to correct her but mom barges )
Mom: Yes, his name is Electric.
(Cleopatra noticed the rudeness mom was showing.?
Cleopatra: Okay nice to meet…not you. ( referring to mom)..... But you Electric.
She left with all her glory and inside the party she went.
Mom: WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
She said directly gazing at our innocent but charming Elician.
Elician was also feeling weird throughout the entire encounter." I don't know mom"
Mom gave him a hard glare, Elician could feel her looking through his soul. It made him feel weaker in some way.
" Well stay away from people like her, she looks suspicious"
Elician didn't want mom to give him life lessons so he accepted the request. Even though he had thousands of questions." Okay Mom, I will make sure I do that."
When they finally made it to the ball, Elician nearly passed out. " Mom, there's a lot of people here, I don't think I can survive this I am leaving"
Mom: What? You came all the way here and you want to leave…Now.

Elician: It is not like I want to leave…There are just too many people.
Mom: Elician,
A smile suddenly appeared on his face
" I Love it when you pronounce my name that way. It's very soothing to hear.
Mom: Hehe, You are funny my child..
" For you mom, only if you knew what was going on inside my heart," Said to himself.
Mom: What did you say??
Elician: bathroom,I want the bathroom.
Mom whistled and instantly one of the servants appeared.
" Lead him to the bathroom wll you"
At the bathroom Elician kept checking his face, he stared at the reflection of his eye,he noticed it wasn't glowing. It had turned completely dark making it blend in with his long black hair that almost touched his back.
" Wow, is that me?"
His face wasn't giving that scary aura anymore.It was just him staring back from the flowing water. It wasn't clear though but that's what rich people use as Mirrors.
" You look amazing Elician, you have the Rich kid face left with the rich attitude." The reflection responded.
He started changing his walk." No. I still walk poor.., and I need to change that" He tried several times but whenever he looked at himself,he got discouraged. " How do I ever get friends with this kind of walk, I need to walk like a rich man" He tried again but still he couldn't stop his hands from staying stiff.
Looking at his reflection,he noticed one thing: he was pale, skinny and weakling. Only if he could edit some of his looks that would be perfect.
" Speaking of rich people, how do they even walk, how do they step on the ground like it belongs to them while looking not-rude"
Just as he finished those words, something so good entered his nose and of course it wasn't food. It was a very wonderful perfume. Elician couldn't stop himself from following the pineapple-watermelon flavor. One thing Elician discovered was that.
Elician: Wow, it is even coming from the hall, outside the house.
When Elician entered the large hall he was dumbstruck of what he saw. He couldn't believe his eyes. He slapped himself but still it wasn't a dream.
He saw mom.

With some men.
" Rrrrr, I am going to burn them all, How can you be dancing with my mother."
He started moving towards the stage where everyone at the ball was staring at.
Just as he could make the last step, someone interrupted.
" Are you not the brother of that gorgeous lady dancing?"
Without looking" I AM HIS SON,WHY IS THIS CONFUSING…(When his gaze landed on the one that asked that question,he felt hopeless)
Sorry…um I mean she is my mother…
" Hahaha, Sorry for I am inexperienced in socially….my name is Lacey Evans"
Elician was surprised why she wasn't offended." I am Elician"
After he made the introduction, his heart started racing. " What if I mess this up like last time?" He said inwardly.
Lacey: Are you the Prince?.
Elician: what? No
Lacey: You look like the Prince, they say he is attending this party tonight and I thought you were him…not like I don't want to meet you I do but seeing you dressed up like Prince charming……
Elician: Man, you ramble a lot.
Elician felt stupid the moment those words slipped out, he had been meaning to say it to himself not like this….
Lacey: Oops, sorry. I just don't talk to people much.
Elician: I am so sorry that slipped out…..damn I suck at making friends.
Lacey: hehe, funny, me too.
Elician looked her straight in the eye." I mean it"
Lacey: Yeah me too.. I mean it to
" What??"
( Suddenly the music increased in volume 🎶making everything so loud,)
Lacey noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere." Let's go outside the ball it's quiet peaceful up there"
Elician: Up there ☝️
Lacey: Yes
Elician: Thought we are not allowed up stairs.
Lacey: This is a party,the entire house is open for customers maybe except the master's bedroom.
Elician felt at peace finally he was about to get a girlfriend… I mean a female version of friend. He was so happy inwardly to the degree that he wasn't keeping track of where they were going.
The clouds started to become brighter and the wind was blowing peacefully like it would massage the trees any moment from now. The full moon made the sky look wonderful.
Outside the castle two familiar kids could be seen wandering around like a couple.
Elician: I thought you said upstairs why here.
Lacey: I am sorry, I lied, I needed to go outside just for tonight, my father…
Elician: What, are you rich?
(Elician looked at her from the top to the bottom.)
She had disguised herself as a common rich daughter just to fit in among those rich- wanna be's.
Lacey: I am the daughter of Sir Augustus, his strict rules kept me as a prisoner and I needed out.
Elician: You gotta be kidding me, you are the daughter of the richest person in the world?
Lacey: He is not the richest man in the world, he is just the richest in his city.
Elician: This is so cool…
Lacey: I know. But he is so overprotective about me. He doesn't even allow me to have friends, He makes me stay inside his house all my life. That's why I chose you to accompany me outside…I don't want to get into trouble.. So I picked you to keep me safe.
Elician: Wait a second, that is the reason you talked with me?
Lacey : First of all, you looked so concerned about your sister..I mean your mother. You didn't like it when you saw her dance with the other guy.And second of all you were the only rich kid with that strong looking face. It seemed weird when I saw how freakish you looked so I brought you along.
Elician felt insulted" So you only talked to me just because I looked weird? and strong?
Lacey finally started using her original voice.
" That's correct" Her voice was no longer sounding innocent .
Elician: You! I am going back..
" Don't leave, I need company"
Elician: Well, I am not your bodyguard.
Lacey: C' mom don't go.
Elician: Apologize and I will walk with you.
Lacey: Okay, I am so….
Something happened.
Elician suddenly felt the presence of men around the isolated area they were standing at. Within just a blink someone placed a sack around his Head. It happened so fast. Even he didn't see that coming.
One moment he was talking with that pretty girl and in a blink everything went dark.
Elician: Ahh, get it off me!
He tore through the sack that blinded him.
" Lacey!! Where are you"
When he looked around,he didn't find Lacey.Everything was all dark and empty.
Lacey had been taken.
