Veronica
I thought it was for me, the box. My seventeenth birthday is next week and I thought that perhaps I had stumbled upon my present early. It looked suspicious enough, wrapped in brown paper; which my parents would probably figure I wouldn’t think twice about if I had found it. It was also in a suspicious place; on a shelf in my dad’s garage. The only reason I found it was because I chipped my manicure and couldn’t find a nail file in the bathroom. Being clever I decided to find one of those tools that do the same job. And that’s when I found the box. I must admit I was excited when I opened it, black lace in just the right style, provocative and sexy and the perfect fit. The high-end kind. But then I read the card. Veronica, it said. To My Beautiful Veronica. The lingerie wasn’t for me. My father would disapprove of a present like that and Mom usually takes me shopping for that sort of thing anyway. No. It was a present for Veronica. A present from Dad. And no, before you get excited- Veronica isn’t my mother. She’s one of Dad’s work colleagues.

The Hiba Cure
It was concealed in lockets. The cure. Seven tiny capsules of micro-contained plant extract distilled in a cocktail of inhibiters and analgesics. Hiba it was called. Just a single grain was enough to restore the integumentary system completely and sustain it for a year or more depending on the health of ones cells. I wore the heart shaped locket; the sign of my house. There were six others, each worn by a daughter of the other six houses; The House of Squ, Circ, Tri, Dia, Sta, and Hex. An intricately woven gold metal hanging from a soft chain, a jewel fastened to its front to correspond with the colours of each house. A magnificent ruby shone from the centre of mine, signifying the colours of my House.
