A Twisted Fairytale

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

"Amber! Hurry we were meant to have left an hour ago!" Liam is barking down the corridor to me.
    I don't even want to go, and I wouldn't be if it were not for the threats of my father or send me to a convent if I did not accompany Liam. You know for my father's grave concern that I will not find a suitor in due time I truly find it ironic that he uses sending me to a convent as form of a threat to force me to go party all summer. Okay, I know its not all parties, we are meant to take lessons and I will. Actually for once I think that will be the only thing I do this summer. I wonder if they will let me take every course they are offering this summer, that should keep me busy. If only my father knew what actually happened at Tomlick Manor then maybe he would consider that my staying home wasn't such a bad idea. I didn't always hate going, I used to love it actually, I guess last summer just ruined that place for me. Perhaps I will be okay I'm just clinging to whatever faith and hope I have in me that he doesn't come this summer. If he stays away like he did for the end of last summer it might make this a bearable season for me. But who the hell am I kidding, he, just like Liam and I have been going every summer for the last 10 years, why would he stop now. But then again things have changed, right? They have for me at least. But that bumbling idiot has been going about his winter like nothing happened, partying, enjoying himself, and delighting in the fact that woman swoon over him its actually disgusting.

"Amber, what the hell, did you not hear me calling to you for the last 5 minutes? We need to leave!" Liam is now barging in through the door yelling a little more than upset now.
    But I can't blame, I have pushed his patience this week when it has come to preparing to leave; choosing to not pack until he came to pack for me and now making everyone wait to leave until he has to drag me out. I do feel bad for putting him in mood, but if he only knew, I wish he did, but he can't.

"I'm coming, aight, you can calm your horses and get your panties out of wad." I bite back.
    I'm not actually mad at him I'm just in very sour mood about this whole thing. I am very slowly gathering up the last few things I need for the ride there. If having to go was not bad enough the journey to get their took nearly an entire day. That is probably why Liam is so pissy right now, if I take much longer we won't make it in time for the opening night feast. How much longer can I loiter here? Missing that fucking feast sounds like a marvelous time.

"Amber... I know what you are fucking doing, and if you insist on being an absolutely frustrating bitch all summer that's your choice, but I haven't seen Zayn and Louis for months and I'd like to be on our way. If it were up to me I'd let you stay, but you know you're options so you can pout all fucking summer or you can try and have a half decent time. Now get your ass in the carriage." He snarls at me gesturing to the door.

"My dear brother eloquent and endearing as ever. Is that how you swoon the ladies of the land" I banter back at him rolling my eyes as I make my way out the door. He mumbles something under his breath, holding the door for me and follows in suit. He helps me into the carriage and then joins me and with crack of the drivers whip we are off.

    I turn to look out the window, the town flashing past us as we speed towards Tomlick Manor. I think back to what Liam said in the house, and realize he did not mention Niall or Harry. They are friends, dear friends of his. Does this mean that they aren't going to be there or did he simply not mention them because he did not want to upset me. If that was the case though why would he not just omit Harry's name? I have no issue with Niall, I rather enjoy his company. I know I could simply ask Liam, he would tell me. But I think a small part of me is afraid of the answer. Afraid he will say yes and tiny part afraid he will say no. Perhaps For the sake of me not screaming I shall let the hope that Harry is not coming this summer flutter in my heart. My mind continues to wander and ramble to itself for hours and my eyes begin to become heavy before I realize it, darkness encloses me and soon I'm consumed.

AN/ Happy Birthday Am, I love you and I really hope you like this, but if you don't please tell me and we can pretend like it never existed. You are one of my best friends and I am so so thankful for you, I hope you have the most amazing day and that this next year of your life is full of love, laughter, adventures, and beautiful new memories.
