Chapter 1 | Alissa Mars
Alyssa
"Tighter" my mother says to Kino our maid. As Kino pulls and tightens my mothers corset. "Ok?" My mother ask me as lay on the couch in our parlor reading a book. I roll my eyes
She studies her self In her wall lengths mirror adjusting her under skirt before having Kino tug her dress over her head.
"Mother tell me again why you chose to torture yourself with Gregory?" I ask finally looking at my mother in her extravagant ball gown. She gives me a small scowl. "Alissa, your father has been gone for 4 years now and its time we both moved on. Gregory makes me happy and he is a congressman. He is very Hansome aswell" she smiles while finally turning to look at me fully.
"Whatever" I slam my book down and stomp out of the Parlor making sure every step up the stairs I make is heard by the whole house. I slam my door and throw myself onto my bed with a loud sigh.
"You okay Lissy Bear" I hear a sweet voice say. I smile at the nick name and sit up to see me and my sisters Nanny Marcy standing in my door frame.
"Yeah, I just caint stand to sit by and watch my Mother flaunt around with a man who's be married 5 times before. I still dont know what she sees in him" I scoot to the end of my bed crossing my legs and making room for Marcy to fill the space next to me.
As she sits she gives me an amused look. "Gregory seems nice, and I'm sure Kathryn can handle herself lissy" she pulls me into a half hug and seconds later two small feet come running down the hall.
"Lithy!" I hear the familiar lisp of my little sister Jane as she runs into my room wearing her signature Princess dress and fake crown. Today though the 8 year old is sporting mud all over her gown and face. "Why your highness, I see you've given yourself a facial" I say earning a giggle from both Marcy and the mud queen.
"Today I saved my kingdom from the worms of the kingdom Pond" she twirls around and Marcy quickly picks her up. Not caring about the mud now on her clothes. "Why miss Jane how brave of you but now we must clean you up and get ready for your victory dinner" Marcy says swinging wiping some mud of Jane's cheek.
With that the pair walk of to the bathroom to clean up. I smile at them before I flop back onto my bed once again.
I close my eyes and take a moment to reflect on the day and wonder to my self "why caint something good happen for once". With that last thought and a final deep breath I make my way downstairs to the dining room where I will be eating with the amazing Marcy and Her majesty Jane.
