Charlotte Cheshire: Adopted By The King And Queen

Chapter 1

"Charlotte Cheshire! Get you ass down here, right now!" Yzma called up the stairs. Sighing, I pushed past Hailey and Lukas, who were laughing at me and calling me names. I hate those two so much, I could rip their eyes out of their sockets and feed it to them! "Coming, Yzma!" I called back as I ran down the stairs, my kids heels clomping on each step.

Yzma was sat in the living room of the orphanage, her feet on the foot rest and painting her nails. I stood infront of her and waited to be told off for something. That's always how it is; I'm always the one in trouble. "Kronk's on his day off, so you're making the dinner. There's stuff in the kitchen, try not to burn the food. Now, go on, get out!" She ordered me, waving her hands at me when she finnished. I nodded and ran into the kitchen, not wanting to start an argument with her. Yzma may be old, but she still has potions on her and the effects of the last one had only just worn off of me.

"Hey, Char. Need some help?" I heard a voice ask. I recognised it easily and nodded at them, "Yeah please, Uma. Yzma gave Kronk the day off and made me do dinner." She smiled at me and took off her pirates jacket and hat, placing them on a chair. Then she helped me make chicken, chips and peas. It's not much, but all the kids that eat here enjoy it. We have 20 kids in the orphanage, but ten of them are older than thirteen and are allowed out the house. That means they steal from the bakery for dinner. Or Uma's mums chip shop, which annoys them both.

Once the chicken was in the oven, Uma sat on the table top and turned to me. "Hey Char, did you hear about the royal adoption?" She asked. I looked at her and shook my head, "No. But I bet it has something to so with Mal and her stupid boyfriend, Beasty Ben." She laughed at the name and continued what she was talking about. "Yeah, it does. They're thinking about adopting a VK from here. And one of the young ones too. Who do you think they'll pick?" She asked me.

I sat on the counter and thought for a minute. There was me, Hailey, Lukas, Freya- Frollo's daughter - Sophie, one of the stabbington brothers grandchild, and five more. I knew it wouldn't be me, seeing as I always cause trouble. It wouldn't be Freya or Sophie, as they had their heart set on their dad and grandad coming to get them. Lukas, well, he would do anything to get out of this place and I don't blame him. The other five are just the same, begging to leave. They were younger than me, and had only been here around a year or so, but still hated it. But they hadn't been here for six years, like I have.

"Hello? Earth to Charlotte Cheshire?" Uma asked, waving her hand infront if me. "Sorry, I was thinking about it! Either Lukas or one of the younger ones, seeing as they want to get out the most. It won't be me, seeing as I'm always causing trouble and getting punished for it." I replied, jumping down to get the table ready as the food was nearly done. Uma helped me and got the plates out as she replied, "One, that's a lie. You do not cause that much trouble. And two, what did you do now as I just noticed your lips bleeding!" I felt my lips curiously and, sure enough, there was blood on my finger. I must've been biting my lip when I was thinking. "I bite my lip when I think." I told her.

After we had set the table, Uma got the chicken and chips out the oven and I went to the bottom of the stairs. "Dinners ready!" I called. Freya and Sophie ran down first, followed bye the younger children, ending with Hailey and Lukas. They pushed past me as they walked, making me fall back slightly. "Ha, idiot." Hailey smirked as she went into the kitchen. I turned round and glared at her, letting out an angry huff. I hate this girl so much!!! Walking into the kitchen, I helped Uma serve Rachel (Governor Ratcliffe's granddaughter from Pocahontas), George (Mother Gothel's son- don't ask!) and Hannah (Queen of hearts daughter) while she serves the twin girls, Sarah and Sasha (Mr. Smee's kids. It said he was a villain on google, so blame that is any of this is wrong!).

Hailey was glaring at me as I ate my food, her eyes boring holes into my head. "What do you want, Hailey?" I asked, agitated. Uma looked up from where she was stood and watched, without Hailey realizing. "Just the rubbish that should've been taken out six years ago." She replied. I winced at her remark, but mostly ignored it. Uma handled it anyways, "Hailey! That's was rude and I don't think your grandfather would be impressed you spoke to one of his best friends daughters like that!" She told Hailey. Hailey turned around and glared at her. "And what does he care!? If he even had a sprinkling of love for me, I wouldn't be stuck in this dump of a home, would I!?" She yelled before scraping her chair across the floor and running off to her room.

Lukas glared at me before excusing himself to see if she was ok. They were best friends, so he always knew how to cheer her up. I don't have any friends, only enemies and allies. "You ok, Charlotte?" The youngest child here, Hannah, asked me. I smiled at her and nodded before finishing my food and putting the plate in the sink. "Hey Char, I gotta go home now. I left Harry in charge, and we both know what he's like! See you later." Uma told me as she out her jacket and hat back in. I nodded and waved her goodbye as she left through the back door, and then washed up the little ones plates, along with Freya, Sophie, Hailey, Lukas's and my plates. Then I went up to my room, shut the door and fell onto my bed.

"If dad's still around, why doesn't he want me?" I asked myself as I changed into my pyjamas and went to bed.

Ok, so chapter 1.......... was boring as fuck and I apologize! My brains been all over the place today, so this was the best I could think of. Hope you liked it anyway, the next chapter is going to be a bit better hopefully. Cya then, bai!
