chapter one
I'm 15 years old and my parents are sending me off to Strawberry Land to take care of my two little sisters. I'm not excited that they moved out at a young age but I guess I can spend time with them. I'm Apple Cider and I have a pet wolf called, Apple Claw. My hair is an apple red and it past my shoulders and a little short to reach the middle of my back. I am wearing blue jeans and a pink belly top.
I miss my house that I had. I didn't live with my parents either but they get worried about my youngest sister. She was a baby and they asked me to leave my house to live with them. I used to live in Porcupine Peak. It was a great place to live until my mother phoned saying my father is ill and they were worried about my sisters.
I am in Strawberry Land and I realize that I didn't even know where they lived. Oh, great I'm a stranger walking around an area I didn't know. What if the people around here are dangerous? I ended up in a dark place, in bushes with sharp thorns. I was a little worried about how spooky it was. I heard something and Apple Claw started to growl. A boy appeared out of some bushes on a skate board. He had short brown hair and was around the age of my middle sister, which was 9 years old.
"Hi, who are you?" The boy asked me kindly and my wolf was on guard.
"I'm Apple Cider and this is my pet Apple Claw," I said and my wolf calmed itself seeing that he was a friend. It was great to see someone nice.
"Oh, I should tell you my name. I'm Huckleberry Pie, the only boy around here," he said. Of course! No other guys around; but it didn't bother me.
"Hello Huckleberry Pie," I said with a smile. He was nice and I could see him being a friend.
"So where are you from?" He asked.
"I used to live in Porcupine Peak. My parents wanted me to come here to take care of my sisters," I said. "I'm probably the oldest around here."
"No, there are a couple people older too. They came from the same place you did, but you're nicer than they are," he said as he walked with me out of the bushes. Apple Claw followed slowly.
"What do you mean?" I was confused.
"They caused a lot of trouble around here," he explained. "I think Strawberry is always stopping there plans."
"Strawberry," I was so confused. Who were these people he talked about that came from Porcupine Peak.
"Yeah, Strawberry Shortcake; she's fun to be around," he laughed. I was shocked that my little sister has a guy friend. She never got along with the boys at home.
"Oh, wow. So where does she live?" I asked not sounding that it was important for me to know.
"She lives in a strawberry house close to here," he said. I should have known she's got a Strawberry looking house. Apple Claw was getting jumpy and I knew it was because she wanted to play with Custard. Custard is Strawberry's talking cat. "Why do you want to know?"
"I'm here to see her and Apple Dumplin'. Hopefully they aren't upset I came without any notice," I said with a tiny laugh.
"So are you her older sister?" He asked taking me by surprise.
"Yeah, I am. It's great that I get to see them," I tried to sound excited, but really I was worried. There way different from me and I moved away a year before they did.
"Well, I'll bring you there than," he said and I was grateful that he was going to help me. "It's easy to get lost here."
"Oh, I know that," I smiled 'cause that was how I met him. We walked down a peach stone path and I started to see a red strawberry house coming up. "Wow, is that Strawberry's house?"
"Yup, isn't it nice?" He seemed to enjoy it. I wonder if he likes my sister Strawberry Shortcake. Well since I'll be here for a while, so I'll figure it out. Hopefully my sister won't hold hard feelings against me. She never liked me cause of me and how I went out with friends. I never paid any notice to her.
Huckleberry knocked on the door of the house. I was too much worried about seeing her to notice I was at the door already. A girl opened it and she was around 5 years old. She also had blond hair, with Apple ties in it. The girl looked at me and said, "Hi is there something I can help you with?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Strawberry," I said a little shaky. I know my youngest sister would be around her age.
"Strawberry someone is here for you," the girl yelled into the house. I took a step back worried what Strawberry will do when she sees me.
Another girl around 9 years old came behind the blond girl. Was it Strawberry? The girl had long red that went to the middle of her back. She looked so kind and the last time I saw her would have been three years. "Hello, Huckleberry Pie, and," she stopped as she saw me.
"Hello, Strawberry," I said hoping she'll be okay with me.
"Apple Cider," her voice was shocked and her eyes went big. Oh no she's doesn't really want me here. Her arms were around me and it took me by surprise. She was hugging me. She wasn't mad at me at all. I thought she would be yelling at me, but got nothing.
"What… why aren't you mad at me?" That came out the wrong way. I wish I could think straight but I can't for some reason.
Strawberry moved away and gave me a sweet smile. It made me want to burn up into dust, but four years ago I was the same as her. One year after I had to do a fake thing when I visited home; just like now.
"Why would I be mad at you?" I was confused as she sounded.
"Cause what happen three years ago," I almost gasped by how quickly it hit me. What was this guessing game? I was feeling weird; my act was going to fail if I don't keep it together.
"That was in the past plus your different now," Strawberry said. I'm not that sure I'm good though. What was I saying; I'm still human for now.
"Wow," my fake smile was easy to trick Strawberry.
That night I moved into to her guest room and got a computer in it to help me find a house to get. Just hope there is a better one than the one Strawberry lives in. I just can't stand this taste anymore. I wish I could sleep at my boyfriend's place but I am here now I got to live with it. Even though; I'll feel bad about it for the rest of my life and I never will be able to take it back. I went to sleep with nightmares of Strawberry Land.
I woke up before the sun rose and made breakfast for my two sisters. I made pancakes which weren't a big deal for me but I hated cooking. I set two plates on the table as my sisters came down in their PJs. I was in dark blue jeans and a dark red T-shirt. At least I tried to be a little myself. I sat on the couch and pulled out my cellphone; no new texts. I went through some of mine and his old text.
"What are you up too?" Apple asked me.
I forced a smile and said, "Seeing if I got some texts."
"How many friends did you have over at Porcupine Peak?" Strawberry asked as she finished her food.
"One," I said and it was true. I stayed with my boyfriend all the time. He was my soul and more. The missing half of my heart; he was everything to me.
"Oh, what happen to the others?" Strawberry asked as I wished she'd keep her mouth shut. I closed the phone and put it in my pocket. Strawberry was washing dishes.
"Well I met someone and they didn't like him and stopped talking to me because I hanged out with him," I said trying not to sound sad. My thoughts went into blackness.
"Oh," Strawberry sounded shock. There than was a knock on the door saving me from this pain. "It's probably Cherry Jam and Cherry Cuddler."
Apple Dumplin' ran to the door and let them in. I hated how their names started with cherry 'cause my boy friends name was Black Cherry. The youngest one had bright scary pink hair. The other one made me freeze; her hair was the same as his. A dark shade of blue that was close to black; it was shocking. "Cherry Cuddler," Apple Dumplin' sang as she hugged the pink hair girl which was her age.
The dark hair girl must have been Cherry Jam. I didn't want to stay so I said, "Strawberry I'm going out for a bit." My wolf followed me out quickly. I went far off to a hill. "I miss him," I told my pet. He was my missing half and when I knew it just by the way we were together.
Tears streamed out of my eyes and I had no clue what to do now. I don't even know who I am. What was wrong with me? I should know who I am. Why is it so hard to think? Questions come but no answers for the rest of the day.
I stayed there until nightfall and I went back to Strawberry's. I checked my sisters' rooms to see they were both sleeping. Guess I should too. I went to the bed that Strawberry gave me in the spare room. My wolf slept at my feet and I went to sleep.
My third day since I came here in Strawberry Land and away from Black Cherry. I hated the thought of being away from him, but I couldn't regret not coming. I get to see how much Apple Dumplin' has grown and how Strawberry lives. My sisters left in the morning saying they had to do stuff. I still can't believe my sister forgave me for what I have done in the past. It means a lot to me, but I just hope Black Cherry could forgive me. I left him behind and didn't even tell him I was leaving until last minute. What was I to do? He would have talked me out of it.
I was sitting on the couch in this big Strawberry which was not my style. Why… Oh… why did Strawberry get this house? My cellphone was in my hand and I was looking at it.
I texted, I'm sorry, to Black Cherry hoping it would be enough. I wish I would be able to tell him face to face but I'd be too shy to say a word. He isn't the easiest thing to talk too. Yes I said thing; he's not human. He was the sweetest thing though, and I would love to marry him one day only if he would ask me. In this age girls my age can get married but I guess it wouldn't happen for me.
My phone move in my hand! It was a text! Was it from him? I looked at the screen and my heart stopped. The text was from him, why would you be sorry?
I was shocked by his answer. I was really confused, why didn't he understand? The Phone than rang. Should I answer it? Or just ignore it? I clicked talk on the third ring. "Hello?" I said unsure what I did; it so quick.
"Black Apple, you sound like you just saw you own ghost," he laugh so gently.
"Hi Black Cherry," I was worried. What no hello? Why were my thoughts so mean?
"So why did you text me your sorry?" His voice was amused.
"Cause I didn't tell you I was leaving until the last minute," I said as tears came in my eyes remembering that moment in time.
"No, don't be. I have been keeping a secret from you," he said. What he was hiding something from me? How long? What was it?
"What do you mean?" My voice was very annoyed.
"Well you know when I told you I lost the show that you humans can't get on your TV?" He asked and I thought hard.
"Yeah," I was a little upset now.
"Well I won and got lots of money and a mansion in Strawberry Land," he said. I was so happy.
"Oh my, that's the best thing ever," I almost killed his ears. He was laughing now.
"Oh, yeah I saw you. Why were you crying yesterday?" He asked catching me off guard.
"I was missing you," my face went red. I lend back and fell off the couch. "Ouch!"
"Are you okay?" He asked sounding worried.
"Yeah, don't worry," I said. I wasn't dressed the way I used to be when I was around him. My hand was around my wrist which was twisted. It wasn't a good sight.
"Are you sure?" He asked not believing me. I should have known he knew me better than that.
"Yeah," I tried to lie but my voice cracked. Why did I do that?
"You got hurt," it sounded like a guess but I knew him to well. He knew I had gotten hurt. Oh shoot, I didn't get pass him. I knew I have a hard time getting him to believe lies that come out of my mouth.
"No." So why did I try?
"I'll be there in a couple of minutes," he said and hanged up. No bye or anything. So like him when he thinks I'm in pain. I put ice on my wrist and it felt a little better but not by much. It wasn't long until there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see him and his troubled red eyes. They were looking into my deep blue eyes which made me feel like I was in a dream. Wow, his red eyes were the ones that I went for. "Hi Black Apple," he said quietly.
I blushed, "It's really Apple Cider at the moment." He would call me that when I was in black clothes around his kind. His eyes went down to my wrist and he took off the ice. I closed my eyes as his hand moved it gently.
"Not hurt," he laughed making my eyes open to see his smile. His hands were around mine softly. "It's not too bad," he was lying.
"Ha ha-ha," I wasn't amused.
"Aww, I was trying to make you feel better," his sharp nails went softly around my face.
"Why are you so impossible to stay mad at?" I asked leaning in.
"Cause we are met to be," he said and he kissed my lips. He could be more right. In a second he lifted me and went running super speed. I was shocked because he said he never would do this. The wind against my face felt nice. Minutes past and he put me down in front of huge black doors of a mansion.
"Wow," I was speechless. It was big and I mean big plus dark. He pulled me into the place as I looked at all the gothic stuff.
"Hopefully you can move in here soon," he said. What? Did he really want that? I was confused and shock.
"Since when does my vampire boyfriend want his human girlfriend so close?" I had to ask because he usually likes how I have my own home. But he always got me vampire stuff for in it. He always thought it was a bad idea in case I messed up in front of a vampire.
"Well I have been looking at a good time and I thought this is the best time now," he said and I froze. Was he telling me the truth? I was waiting for this more than anything in my whole life.
"Oh my, I would love too," I was smiling.
Something on my face must have caught his eye because he was looking carefully at my face. "Have you been sleeping?"
"Yea, but not well since I'm used to sleeping in a coffin," I said which was true. I never really slept well in beds anymore, coffins were to cool. I missed mine that I gave back; beds aren't that easy to sleep in.
"Well maybe you should take a nap," he said sweetly taking my hand and pulling me along. I did have to agree I was tired. Okay I was very tired. He brought me to a room on the second floor and I yawned. He opened the door to show me all my stuff from my old house.
"Wow," I said as he slow moved me inside the room. I yawn as he lifted me and put me in my old coffin. My eyes closed and I drifted off to sleep.
