Sheri slowly opened her eyes and looked keenly at her familiar surroundings. She quickly seizes her mobile phone beside her bed and on the spot switches it on. She saw that indeed she went back 7 years prior to her kidnap and being tortured.
The whole mansion was a little bit stunt to see Sheri running with her nightshirt exposing her legs, she frantically searches for her parents. She saw her mom at her favorite garden cutting and properly taking care of her budding roses.
"Mom" Sheri eagerly embraces her.
Her mom looked at her and instantly froze to see her beloved daughter crying. She was happy last night because she enthusiastically received the gift that she's been constantly asking. Her mom's face looked worried she carefully removes her gloves and looked at her.
"What is wrong Sheri? Tell mommy."
Sheri gently shakes her head and just embrace her mom. Her dad arrives at the rose garden looking listless concern at her daughter. He watches her at the window running and crying while embracing his wife.
"What's wrong darling?" A deep voice can be overheard at her back. She turns around and saw her dad.
"Daddy," she runs joyfully toward her dad and cried.
"Shh. What's wrong?" he gently pats her daughter head and glances at her wife with concern. They never saw their daughter crying this much. It disturbs them.
Sheri cries while tenderly embracing her parents. After settling down her uncontrollable emotions. Her concerned parents gently accompany her inside the mansion.
"What is wrong, baby you can tell mommy." Her mom gently spoke toward Sheri, but Sheri gently shakes her head and smiles toward her parents.
"Nothing I had just a bad nightmare." Sheri softly mumbled.
They sigh after hearing her reason.
"It's all just a dream honey, go and change you need to get your credits at school and aid your brother with the company." her dad teasingly said. They know Sheri doesn't care about the company but among his seven children, she is one of the best when it comes to managing a company. The sole problem she's lazy.
A lively chatter can be heard at their back, Sheri looked at her siblings some of them came from running and some of them just recently wake up. Sven, Rin, Lois, Sheva, Hanny, Jany arrive at the living room.
When Sheri looked at them she immediately embraces each and every one of them. They were terrified. Specially Lois Hanny, Jany, and Sheva.
Sheri repeatedly shouts at them. Now, Sheri burst into joyful tears. She doesn't care anymore. Looking at her siblings alive and well is enough for her to be happy, she recollects what they were in her old life. She can't stop embracing them. Their siblings looked at their parents worried.
Their parents grin toward them from ear to ear maybe the heavens listen toward them. Their aloof, eccentric, daughter of theirs become docile.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" Sheri sob toward them.
Sven hugs his younger sister and calms her.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Sven.
Ric also patch in. "yeah sis, are you on high?" Lois instantly strikes the back of the head of Ric
"Idiot, this is not the moment to make a joke" scoff Sheva
Sheri smiles and looked at her siblings and laugh.
"Yup, she's high, dad should I call the local asylum to picked her up" Ric continue.
Another stinging slap of his head came.
"Stupid," Jany rolled her eyes.
"Guys you are killing instantly the specialized cells of my fertile brain," complained Ric.
Jany playfully punches his brawny arm.
