Chapter 1: Mother.
"Mother!" Iris called out, walking down the hall of the great mansion she called home, her long raven hair trailing behind her. "Where are you? Mother!"
She gritted her teeth together, this happened quite often this week and she was getting quite tired of playing hide and seek with her mother. She slammed the door leading to her mother's bedroom open furiously.
"Mother, I don't care if you're the one who gave birth to me, but you have no right to lock me in my room with one week's worth of food just to go read some more silly H.G Wells Novels!" the young girl yelled at the top of her lungs.
"Mother! There is no such thing as a Time Machine!"
After storming into the library for the second time, Iris let out a defeated sigh.
"Mother, just come out."
"Iris?" a voice questioned behind her. "What are you doing in my library? I thought you hated H.G Wells' novels!"
"Mother!" she yelled as she leapt into the older women's arms. "Where were you the whole week?"
The older woman smiled softly then answered her daughter's question. "I was out picking up the new dress I ordered for you."
Iris' expression told her she had no clue what she was talking about. "A dress? What for dearest mother?"
"Lord Hamish's party next Tuesday! Iris, I can't fathom the number of times I've told you!"
"Oh. Terribly sorry mother!" the girl felt her cheeks redden.
"But, wait just a moment Mother. Isn't lord Hamish's party the day after the tomorrow?" a long silence filled the air before being replaced by a small squeak escaping her mother's lips.
"Oh no! Iris you're right! I can't believe I overlooked this!" the older woman exclaimed frantically. "I'm so glad you're here love!"
She hugged her daughter tightly, the later letting out a satisfied 'humph!'.
Iris was just about to walk away before coming to halt, turning to look at her mother with unfinished business.
"But Mother Dearest, you couldn't have taken all week just to pick up one dress."
"Yes, I could've." Her Mother declared before walking off quietly, leaving Iris alone in the library.
