Chapter 1
AN: HEY this is my new story so yeah. Here.
The drops rolling down my fingertips make my insides tingle with pleasure and rebellion. Gulping the fresh air seeping through the tiny crack in my window makes my lungs tingle with pleasure. I dream of the fresh air filling my lungs the dirt squishing beneath my shoes, and my whole body being covered in the beautiful rain.
My father doesn't let me outside. He believes it is unsafe; the press would be all over me. My father is king of the kingdom I live in. I am the result of affair he had. I was not told this, and didn't even learn of it until my birth mother sent me a letter. I wish I could live with her. She lives a simple life, in a small cottage on the outskirts of the kingdom. It has a beautiful garden and lake. She sent a picture of herself with her stable hand, Austin; he is like a son to her because his parents make him sleep outside so he stays with her most of the time. We always write letters because my dad doesn't allow phone calls.
According to the people on the outside I am an orphan named Edelweiss, even though my name is Ally. My father couldn't risk a background check on me so I have to go by a fake name. He says he took me in when I was left in a basket on his doorstep 16 years ago. He claimed that he has never formally adopted me. The whole lie is really annoying. I can't even tell the stable hands of my indoor stable that my name is not Edelweiss.
The only people who know are me, my dad, my mom, my stepmom, and Austin. I told him because I felt he needed to know. I thought that he was trustworthy enough to not tell anyone my name. I am just glad I have someone I can trust.
I close my slightly open window when my dad knocks on my door. I know his knock,
Knock, knock, knock
Knock,
Knock, knock, knock, knock.
I cross my room which is apparently is bigger than most of the houses on the outside and open my door.
"Oh, good morning my dear Edelweiss." He says, sweetly.
"Dad I told you to call me All, I do not want to be called Edelweiss any longer."
"Well you have to can't have anyone finding out can we."
"Why does it matter so much to you, I love my mother to much to not see her every day, my birthday is in three days you know what I want I want to visit her and Austin."
"Who's Austin?"
"No one but can I go just this once please I will never ask to go outside again."
"Oh my dear Edelweiss, it is far too dangerous."
"Whatever what did you need."
"Yes your dress fitting for your birthday ball is in one hour."
"Is it at the store?" I ask hopefully
"No my flower, it shall take place here"
"Why"
"To dangerous."
"Ok"
Time laps 1 hour
"Ok what color would you like it to be this time" says Ruby, my dress maker.
"I want it red and sparkly"
"Your dress was red last year flower" my dad yells from the side of the room
"I like red" I answer
"To boring I think you would be beautiful in sapphire blue"
"I hate blue, can it at least be sky blue"
"No my flower that is to childish for a 16th birthday party"
"Ok sapphire it is than"
"Great I will have it by Thursday" Ruby says
"Whatever" I mumble under my breath
"I heard that" My dad says.
