Doll Face

Addiction.

Amber

I fiddled with the tiny metal ring in my hand letting it fall in my palms over and over. I opened the round locket i wore around my neck and shoved the small lip ring in and clasped it shut. He stole a kiss so i stole his lip ring i feel that is a very fair trade.

I was rather worried about Liam but im afraid ill bump into Nylah. Liams reaction to her was unhealthy and very strange.

Once i changed into my night gown i hopped into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Memories

I rose my small body off the ground and my hungry eyes began to search. All around me was fire. Houses going up in smoke, people screaming in agony,Infants crying in pain.

"YOU! ITS YOUR FAULT! MURDER!"

A woman shrieked as the fire consumed her.

"KILLER!" The people joined in on her painful shouts.

"MONSTER!" They came closer to me. My only instinct to scream. Scream so loud their voices wouldnt even sound through my voice. I screamed and screamed.

The smell of the smoke seemed so real to me. I swear i can smell it now. As they grabbed my arm and pushed their lit cigaretts into my arm making me shriek. I just screamed.

Memory over

"Amber! AMBER!" My eyes shot open and my screams filled the room. The smell of smoke wouldnt go away.

"Amber! Shhhh! Its ok! Its ok!" Liam yelled as he grabbed the top of my arms pulling me to his chest. My screams became sobs.

"The smoke wouldnt go away......Th-they were trying to h-hurt m-me..." I sobbed forcefully. He growled silently. Then turned his head slightly.

"YOUR SMOKING SCARED HER. GET OUT." He roared. I looked over his shoulder to find chris leaning near the door pulling a cigarette out of his mouth then blowing the puffs of smoke in my face.

"Sure thing princess." He waved his hand at Liam causing liam to growl.

Liam was a bit mean some times but chris didnt exactly help either.

"I heard screaming...I-is every thing alright?" A light soft voice asked.

"Great you're still here..." Liam tensed at his own words.

"Yes. Look i know i got off to a bad start but im trying to be a good person...I was just jealous.." Nylah.explained while she stared at the ground.

"Im fine, Just a bad dream." I spoke before Liam could bad mouth her. She smiled tugging on her pink scars.

"You can leave every thing is fine now." Liam hissed. She nodded and made an about face begining to leave my room.

"Nylah stay. Liam she is my only chance at having a 'Girl friend' please dont make her leave." I whispered the last part. He sighed then smiled.

"Ok. I guess its alright, i cant see the danger in that." he spoke waving his hand towards her.

"WHAT?! SHE TRIED TO SLAP THE SHIT OUT OF AMBER LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO, DID YOU FORGET?!" Christian barged into the room causing the door to slam against the wall.

"Chris i promise i can be a good person, Please? Oh! I know! ill get Amber ready for the ball! ill even teach her how to act proper! Oh please?!" She begged and whined. Even with half her face burnt she looked so beautiful. I dont know how could any one say 'no' to her.

"Amber?"

"Yes."

"YES! this is going to be so much fun!" Why do i feel like she is going to kill my brain cells?

The sun was the first to greet me then christians snoring. I giggled making him jump in his sitting position. His hand flew up to his face and a smile widened.

"May i PLEASE have my lip ring back?" He sarcastically pleaded.

"No-" i began until i was cut off by the door slamming open.

"Amber! Get up we have a lot of shopping to do! Do i have to remind you the ball is saturday? We have like 2 days to turn you into a lady worthy of the wolfe Manor. So come on! Get up! Get up!"Nylah yanked me out of bed. After she shooed Chris away, She made her way to my closet.

"You have no taste, Lucky i brought something just for you!" She pulled out a bright pink bag from behind the door and handed it to me. I pulled out a pink floral dress.

I slipped on the small dress on. It fell just above my knee making my legs look longer. It had a plain white silk bow right on the waist line. The sleeves came down to my elbow. Nylah clasped a studed necklace around my to finish the look. I quickly brushed my hair so it waved down my back perfectly.

"Ok now lets go bribe Liam to lend us some shopping money." She pulled me down stairs and into liams study. Christian sat near the window reading a book while liam wrote something down on a sheet of paper.

"Nylah How many times have I told you to Not enter my study with out-" He lifted his eyes slowly examining every inch of me pausing at my legs then moving to my dress.

Liams eyes finally stopped at my eyes. His eyes had a dark tint to it. I gasped lightly snapping him out of his trance. After he cleared his throat loudly he stood up from his seat walked to christian and smacked him on the back of his making him jump from his book.

"I-im sorry did i bother you? I can leave.." I mumbled under my breath.

"NO!" they shouted in sync.

"Well Amber needs money to buy a dress for the ball this Saturday...So who would like to be kind enough to help out?" Nylah sounded a bit seductive making me hiss just a bit.

"uh.. Here is my card to my bank account, take what you need." Liam spoke Yanking him wallet off of the table.

"Oh How kind! thank you! Now lets go amber!" She began walking out the door. I giggled then pecked liam and chris on the cheek like i always did before leaving the house.

HOURS OF NON STOP SHOPPING AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STORES. I swear my IQ dropped like 1,000 points. Finally we stopped at dress boutique, where a woman ran up to us with a wide smile.

"I need a ball room dress for my friend here, Can you help? Money is not an issue." The woman pursed her lips.

"Color?" Her voice was clear but quick. Nylah let out a loud 'hmm'.

"White or ivory!" they both squeeled.

The woman yanked me by my wrist into a dressing room while handing me a dress she pulled out of a large silver chest near her desk.

"It is hand made and the only one made of its kind." She spoke as her hand slid over the silky fabric.

"Thats it. Thats the one." Nylah spoke as if tears should be falling from her eyes.

I couldnt lie i felt beautiful. It was just the most beautiful dress you could think of. It truly was. Since i was a little girl this was the dress I imagined I would be wearing when stephen said i would be queen. I rushed into the dressing room and stripped from the ivory ballroom gown.

Was this really all it took to be a 'lady of society'?

A/N!!!!

You will see her dress in the next chappy.

This is the start of an adiction.
