love just gets complicated

chapter 1

A young girl sat on a tree stump with her back to a group of four ugly men. Her bright auburn hair was flowing gently in the summer breeze. She was frowning down at her hands. Behind the frowning she was a very pretty girl. Her eyes were a light green colour and her skin was a creamy white. She was wearing a light pink and purple dress with her hair lose over her back. She was holding a letter in her hand with tears flowing Down her cheeks. Her family had recently been kidnapped and wouldn't be released until she had done the men's biding. She held the letter more tightly in her hand and turned around to look at the men.Her frown turned to fury as she thought back to what they had done.

A young girl named Madeline came down the stairs with her suitcases. She was met by her father and mothers anxious looks. They were taking her by stage to porterville to go to one of the finishing schools there. She didn't want to leave her life here behind but she had no choice. She had reasoned with her father only the previous day and nothing made him change his mind. She stalked past her mother and father without looking at them and went straight to the stage outside. She dumped her cases on the side of the pavement and climbed in. Her mother and father and little sister Abigail followed shortly behind, climbing in after her.

After half an hour of silence her father broke the silence.

"Sweetheart. Look at me. Its for the best. I wish you didn't have to go but you must. I'm so sorry. Chin up Maddie."

She scowled at him and turned her head. She didn't want to be mean to her parents but she was still to angry to forgive. Abigail snuggled up closer to her, with her head resting on her shoulder.

"I will miss you the most Abbie " Madeline whispered.
