"AMBROSIA PENDRAGON COME BACK HERE NOW!"The black haired teenager sighed as she slammed the door on her mother's shouting. She walked over to her bed and flopped down picking out her phone from underneath her pillow and texting her best friend, Zach.
Zach (mobile)
- Mum's gone on a mad one, again! :/
A minute late she got a reply.
Zach (mobile)
` What did u do?
- Nothing!
`Amber...
- I stayed out passed curfew.
`Again?
- What do u mean again?
`That's the third time this week! & it's Thursday, where do u even go?
`Just somewhere.
Zach may have replied but Ambrosia had urned off her phone and placed it under her pillow again and turned over onto her back, staring at the David Tennant she has placed on her ceiling. She sighed again as she heard her mother shouting again and another voice which she could only presume was her father's. A short while afterwards she heard footsteps coming up the stairs and across the hallway before someone knocked on the door. She could tell it was her father because no one else would knock or if they did they wouldn't wait for a reply before entering her room.
"Yeah?" She called out, still looking at the ceiling.
"It's dad, can I come in?"
"Sure." she sighed and sat up and watched her father open the door and close it behind him. "Did mum end you up here?"
"No, well, sort of." Ambrosia sighed and flopped backwards on her bed once again.
"Why can't she just leave me alone?" Ambrosia groaned.
"Maybe if you didn't stay out until the early hours of the morning and then refuse to tell her where you've been she'd trust you more and let you have your own privacy. " Arthur sat down at the end of his daughter's bed. "Amber, it's getting to the point where I want to know what you're keeping a secret, what is it you can't tell me?"
"It's nothing Father." she replied harshly. Arthur sighed in anger and disappointment.
"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, you go on living your secret life." Arthur said standing u and walking towards the door.
"And you'd know something about that wouldn't you?"
Arthur turned back towards his daughter giving her a confused look and Amber just remained emotionless.
"What do you mean."
"I don't know, I'm a teenager, we say weird stuff." Arthur nodded looking down at the ground still confused before walking out of the room and leaving Amber on her own.
Amber turned over onto her side and squeezed her eyes shut returning to what had happened earlier that night.
She stood by a lakeside for the third time this week, although the first two times she had only looked at the lake, somehow drawn in by it's beauty and what felt like a second later when she looked at her watch she realised she had been standing their for 6 hours.
But last night, she had walked right over to the water's edge, and crouched by it. She looked at her barely visible reflection in the water and had a sudden urge to reach out and touch it which she did, and got a whole lot more than she expected.
A strange surge of power ran through her body and she pulled away from the water landing on her back. She got back up and slowly stood up still in shock about what had happened. She turned around planning on heading home before both of her parents killed her when she froze. The bus stop which was opposite the lake had disappeared and a couple walked by in old fashion dress, and when I say old fashioned I don't mean, last year, these people were dressed in 1930's clothing as was every one else. Amber was already freaking out by the time she saw her parents walk past, even younger than they currently were. They were a young couple, very much in love and with the shiny new rings on their fingers she could tell that they were newly married. She knew she shouldn't ave run up to them, but she did.
"Excuse me!" Amber yelled as she ran over to them, they stopped walking and turned to the teenager in very unusual clothing.
"Are you alright, sweetie?" Merlin asked, her voice much posher than her mother's voice, but it defiantly was her mother's voice.
"Yes um, I was wondering what's the date?"
"The date? Are you drunk?" Arthur asked and Merlin elbowed him, which made Amber smile, these two were defiantly her mother and father.
"It's September 3rd 1930, sweetheart." Amber nodded, and then held out her hand to Merlin.
"I'm Ambrosia Pendragon." The two flinch slightly hearing her surname which she'd been hoping for.
"I'm Merlin Jones." She shook Amber's hand.
"And I'm her husband, Arthur Jones." he shook her hand also.
"So, how long have the two of you been married?"
"Almost 2 months, we're currently on out honeymoon." Merlin said with a wide smile.
"A 2 month honeymoon? Blimey!" Amber said in shock.
"I know, I asked Arthur for a small honeymoon, but he refused, any chance he gets to flaunt his money around he will." The two girls chuckled and Arthur rolled his eyes.
"If you don't mind me asking, how old are the two of you?"
"I'm 21." Arthur said.
"I'm 18." said Merlin. Well, the two had the same age gap as her parents, but they married younger than her parents had.
"Wow, you two married young."
"Well, couldn't run the risk of someone snatching her up first." Arthur said, kissing Merlin's forehead and she smiled, looking up at him lovingly. Ugh, okay, too mushy.
"Aw, how sweet, anyway, I'm sorry for disturbing you two on your honeymoon."
"No, it's okay."
"Well, I have to be someone, goodbye, it's nice to have met you."
"And you." the two replied, before walking off and Amber walked the opposite direction. When the two were out of sight, Amber turned back and ran towards the water's edge touching it, hoping she would be taken back to her own time. Which she was.
Now lying in her bed, she was making plans or tomorrow, of course she'd have school tomorrow, but after school she'd go to the library and search up everything she could on Arthur and Merlin Jones.
Chapter 1 of my new Story Ambrosia, I know I should be finishing other stories, which I am! Just this idea wouldn't leave me alone, and I needed to bring myself happiness after Merlin.
