-------------------------
I opened my eyes expecting to be in the kitchen next to the wide open fridge but she wasn't. She was on her king size bed with the frilly golden pillow. I snuck downstairs last night to get a nibble to eat. Mother always says to be fit, I must eat less. I slip on my slippers and run outside. I know when mother sees me, she'll oppose of me being so dirty in public but to day was a special day. You see, today was June 16! June 16 was me birthday! I was going to turn 13 in exactly 5 hours 4 minutes and 34 seconds.
"Good morning!" I squeal as I burst into the dining hall. I was expecting to only see my family, but instead I saw my family and my cousin , Grace. Keyes shot wide open and my mouth was so wide it could practically reach the floor. Grace was my enemy. It was a shame she was my cousin. We used to be BFF but when we were 5, she snuck into my bed chamber and broke my favorite doll from my nana right before she died.
"Hello, Joanna." She said, putting a piece of toast in her mouth. I just kept staring. I saw mother give me a look and I knew I had to say something but I didn't want to talk to Victoria.
"Excuse me" I says and slam the door shut and run back to my bed chamber. When I make sure the door is closed, I walk into my closet. I'm elated to see an outfit laid out for me. I'm not really good at picking clothing. I put in the undergarments and then the silk dress then the beautiful shoes father bought me. I practice what to say as I walk to the dining hall. Before I open the door, I make sure I look suitable. Then, I realize I forgot my tangled hair. I out it in a simple bun and then open the strong golden doors.
"Good morning. I'm very sorry for my rude entrance earlier." I say as I curtsy quickly and then slip into my chair. I look at mother who shows a small smile and then I know I can relax. I take a pancake and put a small piece into my mouth. After finishing the one pancake, Victoria starts to talk.
"So, how are you Joanna?" She asks leaning into the table as if interested.
"Good, and you?" I ask paying no attention to her.
"Well, of you ask. I got a new gold dress and a new pony named silver. I truly will love living her." She says. I almost chock at my food.
"What!" I shriek. Then I glance at mother.
"I mean...you live in another kingdom." I say.
"Mother and father say its not safe their because of the war." She say wiping an imaginary tear from her eyes.
"We'll have so much fun!" She says clapping her hands.
"Yes" is all I can manage through my shock.
Enemy has invaded my territory.
