setting ablaze ( a queen is born)

breaking the fast

Open her eyes to the sound of birds chirping on the trees that surrounded the estate, Amara sat on her bed. She looked in her hands, feeling the soft material with her fingertips. Sighing and placing it under her pillow  away  from the eyes of people,  I mean, she didn't want people  laughing at her right. She walked towards the bathroom  but stopped in front of the door for a while, just thinking about what she would do today. After a while, she snapped out of thought and entered.  The tiled floor was the same cream colour,  the shower was still the same although the shower head had been changed since the last time she did use it she was eight. She made her way towards the sink, took her brush , put a bit of paste on it, and brushed her teeth.  After about three minutes, she felt it was clean enough to stop. Rainsing her mouth,  she looked into the mirror, stund for a bit as it had been a while since she did, immediately  tearing her eyes from it, she went towards the WC to pee, the last thing she need was a UTI , she already had too much on her plate. After that , she moved on to shower. She spent the rest of the time making detailed plans on how to spend her day even though she had nothing to do, but she didn't want to be in the house with them for too long. After the shower, she tied a towel around herself  and made her way towards the walk-in closet. Dropping the only thing shielding her body from the world, she turned towards the full-length mirror. Starting from the top , she noticed her black her had grown past her shoulder reminding her that it had been long since she had it trimmed but she kind of liked it so she didn't  plan to cut it. Her eyes were a lovely shade of grey, which she got from her mom , her nose was a bit croked from all the fights , her lips were full and pink ,with the shade becoming lighter the inner it gets, her face was a bit round due to her baby cheeks ,her neck was a bit long her shoulders were a bit broad almost like her dad's but feminine looking, her breast her not small but also not too big. There was a tattoo directly under her left breast. And one above  the right one to. She had a small waist and  semi  wide  hips with a nice plum butt and thick thighs. Her back was littered with scars from the dreadful incident, but most of them were covered with tattoos. She brushed her finger along one distinct scar on her inner  left thigh on shivered at the feel of it and the memories associated  with it. Snapping herself from the trance, she picked out a pair of matching underwear and a nice top with a pair of  baggy shorts and putting on a pair of comfortable slides. She added some  jewellery, a few rings, and a necklace. She  made her bed and made her way down yo have breakfast with her 'family' . Stopping in front of Marcus's door, she was about to knock when it opened, and he stepped out. She took a step back and examined  him . " Why are there dark circles under your eyes?"  She asked, touching  his face. " Don't touch the  money  maker, sis, I just couldn't sleep, that's all," He responded, trying to douge her fingers but sighing when he lost, and she did anyway. As doon as he was about to complain  furher, another door opened, causing booth to look in the direction,  " Luigi, hi," Marcus shouted excitedly. " Don't shout in my ears idiot", Amara  groaned and smacked his head. " I'm telling mom you're harassing  me again," Marcus stated, turning   towards their mother's  door.  Luigi just stood there watching  them interact. A pang of jealousy hit him upon watching them. Walking towards the dining area, Amara  could only think of the food she could eat. It wasn't  a hidden secret. The breakfast was always a feast since it was the most important  meal of the day. Plus, the staff also eat the same food they did. That's one thing she always admired about  how her dad ran things. Grabbing a plate, she made her way to the kitchen to pick out what she liked." Miss Amara, it's nice to see you again  after so long, u hope life was good to you, child," Maria said, genuinely wanting to know. " it was okay Maria,  not easy, but okay," Amara  said while trying  to steal a pancake from the fresh batch she was making. " Ouch!" Amara screamed, shaking her hand to sooth the pain. " Maria turned towards  her with a spatula  in her hand , shaking her head at Amara's  dramatic behaviour . " Well, at least you are finally her, I watched make many  mistakes in his life, but sending both of you away might have been the worst of them all , if only he had...."
" it's okay, let's leave the sleeping dogs to lay,  I just want to get this over with  so that I can go back home." Amara exclaimed wirh food in her mouth."  Maria  realised she let her guard down and that if she didn't  take care, the  little monster in front of her would eat all the food before it even got the chance to see the world.  Stepping  closer to her, she wrapped her arms around Amara  as best as she could with the spatula still in her hands," I know it may not feel like it now, but this is your home and you have a lot of people looking  out for you" with that she pat her back and the shoved her out of her kitchen. When she got there, everyone  had already taken their seats waiting  for  staff to serve them. Taking her seat, which was in front of Marcus, she realised she was now sitting in between her two brothers with luca sitting on her left net to Russo, who was at the head of the table. Her mom on the other side of Russo, Marcus following and Luigi on her right. Ignoring th earge to change seats and wanting to prevent a scolding from her mother this  early morning, she just chose to sit still. One of the food was served, and they started eating. The only sounds heard were the clicking of cutlery and plates." Where were you  yesterday, Luigi?" Helena asked, looking at him, but no response came. She asked again, but still no response.  " Luigi, your mother is asking you a question," Russo  stated, dropping his fork on the plate.
" I heard I just  don't  see how it's her business " as soon as he said  that all hell broke lose. " You better  change that attitude, little  boy, that your  mother!" Russo shouted angrily. " No, it's okay, maybe I shouldn't have as...." , " no mom , maybe luigi should have shut his mouth." Amara shot at Luigi. Turning  to Russo "Faresti meglio a stare attento a tuo figlio, se non vuoi che muoia ti suggerisco di fargli smettere di parlare così a mia madre" ( you better  watch your son, I suggest you make him watch the way he's  talking  to my mother) Russo  let ot a sigh as tension in the room run hot. Luigi turned towards  Amara,  scoffing he said, "o cosa farai, piangerai" ( or what would u do , cry) abruptly  getting  up. She charged at him and punched him in the face. His head wiped the other way as he held his now bloody nose . Luca stepped in between then, and Russo  rushed towards  them. Amara  held her hand up to stop him when he wanted to touch her. She didn't  like people  touching her. She returned to her seat and soon did, did everyone.  Luigi sipped the blood away with a tissue  Maria gave him. The rest of the breakfast was quiet. Clearing his throat, everyone turned to face Russo as he had a smile on his face. " Today, since we have nothing to do, I thought we could catch up. "Luigi, you're with Marcus,  luca . You're with Amara and Helena. you're with me."
Everyone just stared at him like he had grown to heads. Obviously, he had witnessed  what had transpired not so long ago.  Rolling her eyes, Amara  excused herself and left with luca hot on her tails. The rest of them just sat there. Marcus was excited to spend time with luigi again while luigi just wanted to go and throw himself in bed and sleep, Helena blushed at the thought of spending  a whole day with Russo while Russo just kept staring into space thinking about where to send her.
