A new life to live
a/n :New lands to conquer, new lives to live and a new generation to follow. It's such a cryptic introduction for my first story in English (which obviously isn't my first spoken language) , I hope it won't be to bad. Let's begin!
Disclaimer: " there are two kinds of people that write about Castle, famous TV series writers who own it and unknown fan fiction writers that love it and I'm not the kind who pays better" XD (I don't even own this sentence).
Chapter one- Introducing me
Elizabeth's blue eyes followed the cars outside the window of the diner she was sitting in. She always loved the Big Apple's chaos, to use one world, especially the moments when she could stop and observe it, quietly following people and imagining where they wanted to go, what was their life, their dreams their inspirations and so on, it was actually normal for her to have all this fantasy , being Richard Castle's daughter and all.
Elizabeth, or Liz, because " no one calls me Elizabeth, unless it's for work purposes or my mum yelling," was a charming 33 year old woman. She was tall, thin and, like her mother, she had the kind of beauty that even if she was wearing sweats and shorts ( and that happened often) nobody could ignore! Plus, she had her father's blue eyes and she was quite a character: smart, challenging, frustrating even, as her favourite job was to make the other's lives more "exciting" , if you want to put it in a gentle way.
But now things were changing, or they look like they would because there was a new particular human presence in her days , and that " presence" had a name, Derek Ryan, Kevin and Jenny's 38 year old son.
OK , he wasn't actually a new presence in her life but Liz hadn't seen him in years , living in France since she was 19. After her high school graduation in fact she tried to go to college, being Richard Castle's daughter and all, but college was not for her. She didn't like school and also she had severe learning problems, like dyslexia and dysgraphia, so she didn't even finish her first semester.
It was difficult since elementary school for her to keep up with the other kids but not because she didn't understand , actually she was well-over the average IQ , but that life, the big books, the long hours in the library, the continuous exams weren't for her, the only things she learned were the ones she liked, selective learning capability , that's what they called it. She had a different mind, different passions and she would do everything to follow her dreams, so she emigrated, leaving behind her a set of disappointed parents and cutting the bridges between her and her family.
What did she do in her life? She went to Paris and started playing music in the streets because she wanted to "feel the vibe of people listening to you not just study Mozart in a dusty room", she didn't listen to her father who wanted her to join an orchestra, or at least to remain in the city, she didn't listen to her mother who wanted her to "get a serious job" and to play the piano in the evenings maybe, and left the two of them usually so close and agreeing with each other to fight blaming each other for her departure.
The only one she kept contact with was her twin sister, Lily. Lily and Liz where identical twins but they also had fraternal triplet, Cory, meaning their birth was a miracle also because their mother was well into her forties when she had them, so her pregnancy was very high risk. But everything went well and now, Lily was a doctor , after her graduation Columbia and her residency at John Hopkins, being the perfect daughter their parents always wanted, Cory was a n English literature professor at Yale university, being Richard Castle's son and all, and Liz was just Liz, the lost girl who called once a year , for her father' s birthday and sent a card for Christmas. But maybe now, something was about to change , and the fact she was there sitting in a diner. eating on omelette watching New York traffic and waiting for her boyfriend was something: Lizzy Castle was back.
Author's space: Hey everyone! So, this is the first short chapter with which I intended to discover public's frist thoughts about this story, to understand if you would like me to coninue writing and to describe some of my characters that will appear in this story along with other people that will come later. Also I accept all the comments and reviews and I'm open to critics, if I can learn something from them about how to improve. So everybody show me your ideas, and hopefully it will be a new chapter soon! XOXO
