A/N:
The cover pic is what i picture Chloe wearing. I know it's Taylor swift from her music video. I still like the dress
tho.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was astonished to find that Maria hadn't spilled her guts about her findings in my room, but she avoided any eye contact with me at all which aroused my suspicions.
"Evening" uncle said with a glint in his eyes, Maria had told him I was certain of it.
"Evening uncle" I played off what was about to be said
"Why would you keep this from me" uncle stated on a hurt tone
I sat dumbfounded
"You would have wanted to kill me if you knew" I explained the already know answer
"Do you really think I would have wanted to kill you over keeping the storybook a secret from me?" Uncle bargained, realization sank in at that moment, Maria was only in my room for the storybook and uncle had found it too. " um...no I was just being dramatic sorry uncle. I was going to tell you i just hadn't found the right time yet." I played off the other thought I had.
" we'll iv taken the book to a secret place where it is safe. It never should have been in you father's belongings" uncle snapped, I was shocked at this side of him I'd never seen it before.
"I'm sorry uncle, I didn't know" I assured him but he didn't except it he shook his head and headed off to his study again. But Maria had fury in her eyes, instinctively I reached for her clenched fists but I fell short, as it appeared my feet we glued to the ground. Maria charged towards uncle, deceitfulness clear in her bright eyes
"What makes you think you can take the last thing I have of my fathers" she proclaimed with a stomp of her foot
"Maria" miss heliotrope gasped, she acted surprised to she Maria act like this, I wasn't.
" And what makes you think you can talk to me like that" uncle ragged, Maria started to shy away from him knowing she shouldn't have said anything
" This book belongs here not in the hands of a little girl" uncle shouted as he turned sharply on his heels towards his study.
" oh all this is giving me indigestion" miss heliotrope mutters as she walked to what I assumed was her room.
Maria stormed away shortly after and left me to my own demise. I finally settled on doing some exploring or re-exploring I guess. After aimlessly wandering around I found my sought after location, the ball room. A piano set nestled on a raised stage, my heels clicked as I strode towards the beauty, but stopped as the slightly untuned piano started to play all on its own.
I sat at the dusty bench and started to play the well known tune, adding new notes where I thought they would fit, it flowed beautifully. The piano stopped playing but the music still played, I furrowed my brows, and looked around for the source, all I found was a wall length mirror that was not reflecting me, it was a beautiful lady with blonde curls playing the piano just as I was, she stopped and looked up with love and passion in her eyes, her eyes, they were so familiar, that's when uncle came into the picture. He wore a nice black suit, probably the nicest if ever seen him dress, he started to talk to the familiar women, the words were muffled but I could make out bride, bad luck, wedding, and love something. What on earth was this about, then it hit me like a load of bricks, Loveday.
