So this is just something I thought up today I have another P&P story in my head but this one is the shorter of the 2 so I figured I would start with it. I have no beta she feel free to let me know if you want the job or just correct me I think faster then i type. Also let me know if this an interesting story and I should continue.
Insert disclaimer here I'm not Jane Austen.
Elizabeth Bennet had made a promise to herself the first time she had seen her Mama shamelessly throw her older sister Jane at the richest eligible bachelor she could find. She would not marry for love but for money. She did this not for herself but for Jane.
Elizabeth was the second oldest of five daughters born to Thomas and Francis Bennet, though they tried for many years to have a son they were only blessed with daughters. Though the Bennet's loved the girls very much sadly without a son their estate Longbourn would be entailed to the next closest living male a silly little man by the name of William Collins. When Mr. Bennet died the girls and their mother would be homeless.
Jane was the oldest and most beautiful of the Bennet girls. She was sweet, demure, helpful and very agreeable. With Jane her Mama saw her chance to secure a future for herself and her daughters when her husband died. Surely Jane could not have been so beautiful for nothing, it was up to her find a husband that would provide for her family in the future.
Elizabeth was not as pretty as her sister but she was striking in her own way she was witty and charming with expressive brown eyes. Elizabeth would do anything for Jane when she saw the type of rich men her mother was finding for Jane to marry she became worried. These men though gentlemen in title seemed rakish and crude she feared what would happen to her poor sweet sister if she were forced to endure such men. So Elizabeth told her Mother that she would take Jane place she would find and marry a man that would secure her family's future but in doing so her Mama must leave Jane and her other sister alone.
Jane argued with her sister and begged her to change her mind that surely there could be another way but Elizabeth would not be swayed she was a strong stubborn women if she were to marry one of these rich "gentlemen" she knew she could handle it. So she told Jane that she did not believe in true love and was happy to this so Jane and her other sisters would have a chance at happiness.
So when Netherfield was finally let it was Elizabeth that Mrs. Bennet frantically got ready for the dance to meet the new gentleman in town Mr. Bingley.
There you have it in case you are wondering this is a E/D story so please don't worry too much about the above line. Please let know what you think I haven't written anything in a long time and I'm totally stuck theone two stories I'm writing so I figured why not start a 3rd or maybe even 4th one.
Feedback would be awesome.
