Becoming A Queen

~Chapter 1~

"Rosie, Rosie! Lookie!" I heard my sister, Lucy, squeal beside me. I cocked my head to glance down at what she was doing. On the piece of notebook paper, was in small messy writing, "I love my big sissy Rosie, love Lucia!" With some misspells of course, but it said that none-the-less. I gave her a toothy smile, and wrapped my arms around her tightly. I felt giggles building up in her stomach, and knew they were gonna blow soon. Her body erupted into shakes, and laughter. It was the most amazing thing to hear.

Then everything went black.

Beep, beep, beep! My hand smacked down onto the noisy alarm clock just as a large groan emitted from the back of my throat. Time to get up Rosa. My feet flipped over the side of my bed, and I just sat there for a bit. My knuckles wiped the sleep from my eyes as I made my way to my dresser to look for my work clothes.

I happen to work in this little place called "The Flower Cafe." It's a cute little cafe that actually hired me. As you can obviously tell, I was happy about that. Not many people hire me, then keep me for a few months. Glad to know the owner, Edith, likes me. She's a nice old lady, but she sure can be a feisty one.

"Eeediiiith. Are you here, m'dear?" I dragged out the vowels in her name to really get her attention. Sadly, I don't believe she's here. I do recall her telling me she hired another beaut around my age, but whether it was male or female was beyond me.

"Is your name, Rosalyn?" I heard a deep male voice call out from the kitchen while emerging from the doorway. I cautiously nodded my head slowly, and eyed his appearance. Dark black skinnies, black boots, and a grey t-shirt. Does he not know we work with baking as well? "Hi, Rosalyn. I'm Felan. Pleasure to make your aquaintence." He took off the beanie he was wearing, and brought it behind his back. Using his free hand, he stook it out in my direction, waiting for me to shake it.

"Oh, yes... Are you the new worker here? It's always been me..." I took his hand and immediately let go after one shake. He gave me a strange glance, but brushed off my actions.

"I am. Edith had said there was another worker... She just didn't tell me how beautiful this other worker was..." He smiled, but then turned on his heel towards the kitchen. I mumbled a subtle thank you before beginning my shift. Nine-thirty in the morning to seven at night. Busy days were normally weekdays. Luckily for me its the weekend so not many people will be here.

The apron fit nicely over my skinny-fit light blue jeans, and purple t-shirt with the cafe's logo on it. Felan continued to glance over at me from time to time as I swept the floor, and made bread. His eyes were bothering me, how they raked over my body. I didn't like how vulnerable I felt right now. My blonde hair was in a tight bun, and I had already taken out my lip piercing for today. So I knew I didn't look out of place for this job. He certainly looked out of place though... He looks so dark, and unhappy.

"Have a nice day!" I smiled to the boy who had payed for his loaf of bread and coffee. I heard a low growl, and watched the boys facial features change completely. What the hell was that? I turned around, and saw nothing. Coming from the kitchen was Felan, smiling.

"Are you alright, Rosalyn?" He pondered with concern. I nodded, and faced the counter once again, noticing the boy had already ran out of the cafe, and most of the people. "It's seven-twenty. Why don't you head home, yeah?" I nodded, and hurried out of there as fast as I could.

Lip piercing in, bun out, apron off... Okay. I'm good.

"Bye, Felan. It was nice meeting you. I hope Edith is well enough to come tomorrow." I smiled and waved towards him softly. I began out the back of the cafe, and started weaving through alleyways. I stopped for a quick break, looking up at the darkening sky. A growl was heard near me.

My eyes were wide in fear, and I felt like I was done for. Lucia, Mum, Papa, I love you all. I closed my eyes tightly. Hearing stumbling, and yipes, I felt hands on my shoulders.

"Rosalyn. Rosalyn!" His voice was clear as day, but I couldn't say anything. "Are you hurt?" I shook my head to respond, causing him to smile. "Good... Princessa, we need to get moving." I nodded, and held his hand. He took this as the okay to start getting the hell out of there.

"Who...?" Was all I could manage, making him look at me with sorrow.

"You don't remember me?" His voice was laced with distraught. I felt guilty that I hadn't known who he was. Was I supposed to? His eyes flickered down, then back forward to watch where we were headed. "I'll explain all of this when we get there, Princessa." What the hell is with him and calling me that?

"Lucia... Mama, Papa.. Will they be alright?" I questioned, earning a laugh from this man.

"Yes, Princess. I had gotten news that Lucia wanted to see you tomorrow yes?" I nodded to answer him, and he sighed. We stopped so he could make a phone call. "Aaron. Lucia is to be sent to the home tomorrow for Rosalyn. Okay?" I heard a voice shout, Of course! What is going on.

"Are we there yet?" I took a look at his expression and somehow felt relief. He nodded quickly, and took my hand again.

-----

We arrived at this ginormous estate... Was this where we were supposed to go?

"Welcome home, Rosa." Was all he said before entering the house. Home? This isn't home... I want my sister, my mama, my papa. Not this. "Come, my sweet. You'll get cold out here." No. He took my hand, and led me inside. I was greeted by many females curtseying to us, and behind them were many males bowing to us. One man in particular walked straight up to us.

"Connor. The arrangements for Lucia have been made. Is all well with Rosalyn?" He never took one look towards me, and only spoke to this Connor fellow. Connor sighed, and nodded.

"Thank you, Aaron." Aaron? Wasn't he the man Connor talked to on the phone? Why are they doing this... "Rosalyn, do come with me to your room." He brought out his hand for me to take. I took it because I didn't know what else to do...

"Where...?" I mumbled, and I guess he heard me.

"Greymane Estate." His response was quick, and confident. Greymane Estate? Where the hell are we... "I know you're confused, my love, but I will explain all of it, I promise. Tomorrow." I nodded. "If you need anything, don't hesistate to ask, yes?" I nodded once again. "Goodnight, Princessa..." He patted the top of my head, and left the dimly lit room.

I took in the settings around me. A large door, opened to showcase the many clothes inside. A king-sized bed made for royalty. A vanity mirror with all necessities for make-up purposes. I was in such a lovely room... Might as well use it to my likings.

-----

I'm in this huge bed with frilly shorts, and a tank top that showed my belly button every now and then. I'm being pampered, and I don't know why. God please help me. Make sure my younger sister is safe, and my parents. I don't know what I'd do if I found out something happened to them.

Soon enough, darkness took over my vision, and I was fast asleep...
