The Sewing Queen

Competition - Day One

Chapter 2

Walking thought the main door of my family's home; I could feel my jaw drop at the changes that had happened in the 10 hours I hadn't been there. The massive painting of me, mum and dad that was taken three years ago had been taken down and replaced with my mum and dads wedding photo that had been hanging in the 'formal' living room.

Behind me came a snigger as I spotted one of the kitchen staff that was hired for events, he wasn't much older than me, maybe a year if that.

"As if they made you leave and then come back." He whispered to me.

"Link, keep quite if someone hears you, I'm not sure your going to have a job much longer."

"don't you get bored of hinding?"

"Not really"

"well you know though the whole of this you can come and talk to me. You know where my room is, you were the one to show it to me on my first day." He said with a wink.

"Oh shut up Link"

"Oh and about keeping quite you're the first on here" he said picking up a small bell and ringing it, followed by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs.

"Oh hello, im ever so sor-"

"Don't worry about it Mrs Rose" I said stopping my mum form carrying on.

"Oh you must be Lucie, I see you have met one of our events kitchen staff, Link" she said with a small smirk on her face. She knew I wasn't going to keep up with this act for long, so she was going to make it living hell for me to try and work under pressure without cracking my true identity. "Link, please may you show Miss Rose to her room?"

"Of course, m'am"

"Thank you, Lucie meeting in the work room in two hours and make yourself at home" she said as Link led me off.

"She's going to make this hard for you"

"Tell me about it"

"Well like I said you know where I am"

"That's lovely but I can't just leave and come find you. What are the others going to think"

"I see your having the same ideas as me" he said with another cheeky wink, "here's your room, right opposite mine for fact"

"Yippee" I said sarcastically.

"You know you what to"

"Yeah right, good bye Link"

"Don't be rude, I'll help you unpack"

"No, you won't" I said practically pushing him out of the room.

"I'm staying. Now pick a bed" he said sitting on the bed closest to the french doors which led out to a patio. Truth be told, I had never been in this room before. It was painted a aqua blue with one wall, wallpapered in a bird theme, with little pink birds.

"I want that bed though"

"You'll have to fight me for it"

"Yeah right"

"Come at me bro"

"LINK! GET OFF ME!" I screamed as he jumped up ans spun me round lying me on the bed in one move.

"This is how I like it"

"Ewww, gross boy" I said kicking him.

"aw, babe im not going to hurt you"

"No, but I might hurt you" dad said standing in the doorway

"OH shit, sorry sir" Link said pulling himself together.
