Chapter One: Introduction
The day started out as usual. The day was warm and sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and Sienelle was stuck in the general store. At which time it was 1 o'clock in the after noon. Sie was busily cleaning and scrubbing listening to James, her foster brother, babble on. He was sitting near the cash register lazily telling her what to do.
'Yes today is just a usual day like any other...' Sie thought. 'It's beautiful outside and I'm stuck inside cleaning!'
"...And then when your done that, your to restock the shelves..." He paused and grinned evilly, "... in alphabetical order."
"What? But I just put it in order, by colour...! Yesterday...!" She choked out in shock.
"Oh? Well mom & pop want it in alphabetical order now and you can't leave 'til its done!" he sneered triumphantly.
Sienelle just glared and muttered to herself. 'Ohh I hate this! Why me? It's just my luck to get left behind to these people'
It was now 9 o'clock and Sie was half way done the shelves. She was exhausted from the endless work that her foster family gave her. James, her foster brother, had kept interrupting her to make her finish his paperwork and serve customers as he was lazy.
"Well I'm going home, so don't be late or there will be no supper left for you, mom and pop are expecting you no later then midnight. That gives you 3 hours to get all this done! Have fun! Hahaha..." He laughed while on his way out.
Sie couldn't believe they expected all the work to be done in less then 3 hours. "Argh! That's so not fair!! I hate living here!!!" She yelled but then quickly went back to work, rushing to get it done so she could be home in time.
At quarter too she finally put the last box on the shelf. Relieved she glanced at the clock. "Phew, made it! Thank god they only live a block away!" she said, proceeding to finish the paper work, count change and lock up.
Thankfully she brought her bike so she didn't have to walk, although it wasn't far she was too sore and exhausted to walk. When she reached the house she first noticed that most of the lights were out excluding the kitchen. 'Oh thank god I'm not going to get bitched at or given more chores, I just want to go to bed!' She groaned as she made her way up the porch, she quietly entered the house and made her way to the kitchen to find a cold plate of food on the table and a note sitting next to it.
She picked at her food eating only what was edible and dumped the rest, she then looked at the note and it read:
Dear Gertrude,
She cringed as she read. 'God I hate that name... gee weren't they so nice in leaving me a huge stack of dishes and a mess every where...'
We want the dishes done, the kitchen cleaned, silverware
polished and all the new books to be organized in the study
before we wake tomorrow
Mom & Dad
'Ya right "Mom and Dad" you wish!' she thought bitterly as she started to work on cleaning. By the time she finished in the kitchen it was 2:30 in the morning. She made her way to the study; she looked around and saw five stacks of books. She groaned openly wishing she could just go to bed. She was beyond the point of exhaustion, for the past 3 months of living with this family she had worked non stop, with little sleep or food, go to school then to work again. 'Well at least it's better then the other foster parents.. or orphanage...' she shuddered at that thought, then made her way to organize the books.
Slowly, and sorely Sienelle made her way to bed. She knew she wouldn't get much sleep but she would try anyways. She got to her room and collapsed on the bed. Her room was a small one compared to all the others, she had a long dresser with a mirror attached with all kinds of statues of dragons, wizards and candles, a bookshelf full of fantasy books, a night stand with her makeup and her futon which had just one pillow and a thin sheet.
She looked at her watch (the only clock she had) and read 4:45AM. "Three hours... teh" she mumbled to herself as she slowly drifted off to sleep.
At 7:00 there was a loud BANG! BANG! At the door then a shout "Get your lazy ass out of bed! Breakfast is on the table and then you have...."
Sie could barely keep her eyes open let alone listen to who ever was trying to rouse her from her sleep. She groaned, realizing it was Mrs. Miller. "I'm up! I'm up!! Geez..."
She slowly made her way off the futon. She noticed that she hadn't changed out of her close and quickly proceeded to dispose of them. She grabbed her red silk robe and slipped it on over her well developed body, she was turning 18 in a few months. She then grabbed a pair of black hip huggers and a black long sleeved shirt making her way to the bathroom.
Sienelle started the shower making sure it was at the point of boiling before removing her robe letting the steam wander along her body. She then walked in the shower letting the warmth soak into her skin, relaxing her instantly, she closed her eyes a moment, enveloped in the heat wrapped around her and almost landed on her head from exhaustion. She decided to finish the shower quickly, get dressed and down stairs before the Millers disturbed her again.
Sie made her way into the kitchen, on the table was bacon and eggs slowly cooling, and a pile of dishes waiting for her. The Millers were nowhere in sight but she knew they where around somewhere. She ate quickly and did the dishes, then looked for everyone. To her amazement only Mrs. Miller was home, sitting in the living room watching her soaps.
She turned to Sie and said "Oh Gertrude honey your father wants you to come to the shop early today, at around lunch time. Don't worry here's a note to give to your teachers." She handed over a note explaining she had to go to work.
"Look my name is Sienelle! And he's not my father nor are you my mother!" with that she grabbed her book bag and made her way to school.
