Love is Rebellious

Chapter 1

A Possible Way Out?

Rainie's POV

It started out as another bleak, hopeless day. I had just finished polishing a statue in the library, when Sorina walked in. Plastered all over her face was a smug grin.

"Oh. Hi there DROP." She said to me, as if she hadn't come here to see me. I so wished I could wipe that look of absolute victory off of her face, but no one was allowed to lay a hand on the master's daughter. Doing so was dooming yourself, and she loved to flaunt that fact.

"Don't. Call. Me. That. My name" I took a deep breath, "Is Rainie." I exhaled, praying that she would leave.

"Oh? What are you going to do about it, eh Drop?" She smiled. She had called my that ever since an incident where I had dropped a plate right in front of her. She never intended to let me live that incident down. Her smile began to fade however, as I turned away from her and went back to work. "DON'T IGNORE ME!" She howled. Luckily, I was saved having to face her by the ring of the bell.

"I'm sorry Ms. Sorina, but I have to go. The missus is calling and all." I explained as fast as I could, then dashed out of the room, even leaving the cleaning cloth behind.

I flew down the stairs, and around a corner. Down another flight of stairs, and I found myself in the servant quarters with all of the other house "servants". The missus walked in just seconds after I arrived though. I had only time to take my seat next to my mother and sister, before she walked in, followed by her husband.

As soon as he walked into the room, conversation erupted. The master never came downstairs. If he needed to tell us something, he sent a message through his wife. Suddenly, he banded his fist against the wall, and the room fell silent again.

"You all." He faced us. "As I'm sure you're aware, things are going well for Tu'la in the war again the nefarious Ru'an. Because of this, I have now been commissioned as the new Commander in Chief of the Tu'lan forces there. I will be heading there in a fortnight. I have come to request that the servants my wife deems fit will accompany me." He stepped aside, and all eyes fell on the missus.

"Ashly.
Cadenza.
Crystal.
Eena.
Fry." As the list went on, I tuned it out. That is, until something jolted me back to the present.
"Rainie." The missus called out my name, the rolled up the parchment. "You may now return to my duties." She signaled the ending of the meeting. My sister came over and wrapped me in a huge huge.

"Rainie, don't go!" Tears were forming in her eyes.

"Aww... Maka, I'm sorry, but I don't have much of a choice." As I said that, I could feel myself internally cringe. I had used those words to often lately.

"Maka, this is a wonderful opportunity for your sister. We will be happy for her, no matter what she does." My mom said, looking me strait in the eye.

I was back in the library, finishing up the statue while I tried to figure out my mom's cryptic message. I backed up to see if I could spot anymore spots. Suddenly, I felt the floor go out from under me, and I was on my back like an upside down turtle.

I flirted my eyes across the ground in search of the culprit. The fell upon a small blue book. The title read "A Tu'lan's guide to Ru'an. Things you need to know". The master must have been reading it, and the accidentally knocked it off of his desk.

After a quick scan of the room, which proved there was no one else in the room, I pulled the book closer, and began to read.

A/N

Sorry it's been so long since I updated. There were Three strikes against my updates.

First, I had to slow down chapters so I could pre-write for a trip I planned to take. While I was doing this, Wattpad decided to delete ALL of my drafts.

Then, my parents were displeased with my grade, so I was grounded for a week (I had a science thing that was done over the span of a week that I needed to do to fix my grade).

Thirdly, my parents decided the trip we took had to be mostly electronic free. I got on a device maybe four times in two week.
