Hi all, this is my second fan fiction and i think it will be a breath of fresh air! Let me know what you all think. If you like this I also wrote another Jane Eyre FanFiction called Janes weary travels.
Ring ring... ring ring ..." who keeps calling me it's like too early." I rolled out of my bed and grabbed my phone to see who kept trying to ring me. Gabby. Oh no here we go. I pressed the accept button and tried to sound happy to recive another lengthy call from the controlling friend. " Hey Jane ! Hope I'm not disturbing you?" Gabby spoke fast barley letting me answer. " I'm not doing much what's up." I replied.
" well I'm 21 in a couple of weeks and I'm having a party. But I've got a twist. What do you think the twist is?" She stopped so I went to answer. " err is it a..."
" it's a Victorian themed party ! So I'm going to get an amazing dress and look fabulouuuuus so I rang to let you know. I thought I would give you longer as you don't like having short notice."
" where will I get a Victorian outfit from?" I was trying to think of places as I asked the question.
" oh I don't know. Amazon or something like that. Anyway I've got to go now but I'll send over all the info. Chow." And she hung up. Always saying goodbye in another accent trying to sound fancy. I really couldn't be asked with this. But I guess I had to go as she had been my friend since school.
I got in my car and drove half awake to my unfulfilling job. Nothing better than long shifts working at a tutoring center. After seeing about 20 Kids that could barley count to 10 I was ready to go home. I thought about different places to buy the dress for the party. "I'll try and look online tonight." I reminded my self. A week went by and I had forgotten about the dress. I had so much going on. I walked into my one bedroomed flat and looked around at how dull my life was. I was short, brown haired and not the prettiest. Im not horrific to look at but I wouldn't say I was a model. I barley wore makeup and always wore casual clothing. My flat matched me too well. I had dinner and went to bed wishing I had a boyfriend or someone so cuddle up with.
" so what dress did you get in the end ?" Gabby thought I had got the dress for her party and wanted to know what it looked like. " oh it's err, long and Victorian. Look I gotta go. I'll see you tonight for your party I'm getting ready."
" but" I hung up leaving her pondering on what I was doing. Crap I had to get the dress before she laied into me. I had been putting it off for so long. How was the party tonight ! After driving for a hour I came across a vintage shop which looked like it had stuff dating back to the dawn of time. I pulled into the lay-by and walked in. A woman who's age was probably mid 20s looked me up and down.
" hi I was wondering if you had a Victorian dress?" I spoke full of hope.
" sure we've got a rack over there filled with them." She lead me to the dresses and helped me look through them. " I'm not really sure if these are what I had in mind. Do you have something a bit more fancy ?" I inquired.
" we've got a dress out back. Between you and me it's not meant to go to anyone but I'm sure the shop owner wouldn't mind it been there for years." With that she was gone. I stood thinking that the dress would be awful but was pleased. She came out with it on a hanger. The neckline of the dress was low and would show anyone's shoulders that wore it. It had frills that decorated the light blue dress. The bodice was plain but met the skirt leaving a v looking line which would be slimming. The skirt was amazing. It was large and would probably need hoops to make it look even fuller. The skirt was plain like the bodice but the blue and fullness made it look exquisite. She then pulled out a Victorian corset which looked painfull but necessary. My eyes showed my amazement and hopped it would fit.
" what size is it ?" I had to know.
" I'm not too sure I think it's a fancy dress Victorian
outfit so doesn't have a size tag. It looks like a 10 though."
" I hope so that's my size." I smiled.
" would you like to try the dress and corset on ?" The woman asked.
" unfortunately I am in a hurry. But I looks like it will fit. Although could you help me with one thing?" She raised an eyebrow. 30 minuets later I walked out the shop paying 100 for the dress and corset. I got the woman to do the corset up on me as I couldn't do it myself and was already late. I could barley breathe as it was so tight. But I liked the shape it gave me. After running to some other shops and buying some makeup I was on my way to my flat ready to turn into a Victorian. I applied lots of makeup as it was a party and I actually looked nice. The false eyelashes and bright red lipstick made me look brand new. I curled my hair and made it in a half up do and struggled to put the dress on. I knocked on my neighbours door, Hannah. She was another close friend and we had been neighbours for 4 years. She laughed when she saw what I was wearing and wondered why I had knocked.
" please can you do my dress up ?" I begged. After 10 minuets of her threading the back of the dress together I got a call from gabby. I pulled away and thanked Hannah who looked like she was going to laugh for hours. I ran back to my apartment applying perfume and put my very high heels on. I noticed that the ties at the back of the dres hadn't been done up where I rushed away. I neatly tied it and looked in the mirror holding my phone and bag. I got a feeling of sickness and noticed how the room started to spin. I closed my eyes and hit the floor. After the feeling of sickness passed Started feeling cold. I opened my eyes in disbelief. I was in a feild. But how ? It was pitch black and was freezing. I looked around stunned and lost.
