Just Like Him

By: Rose Noire le Mort

A/N: This is the sequel to 'Broken/Eternity in Bliss' and 'As If My Own'.

"Elizabeth!" The brown skinned girl fumbled with the corset she was made to wear. Upon getting no answer she yelled again. "Mom! I need you to… help me… with this…bloody…corset!" Elizabeth appeared at the door with a smirk on her face. "Elizabeth? Do I really have to go to this ball? I don't even know the girl." She pleaded with her 'mother' Elizabeth.

"Maria. I think you know what the answer's going to be," Elizabeth said coming to where her daughter stood to help fix with the corset.

"Elizabeth, mother. This will be just another chance for those bastards to call me a nigger or a servant or to say that I'm the daughter of a whore. I" Elizabeth turned the girl around to look her in the eyes.

"Those people are just ignorant. You're not a servant or anything else," she said refusing to use the other word as if it was a plaque. "Your father told me that. And I intend it to remain that way," she turned the girl back around to lace her corset. "You're a beautiful girl Maria. You look just like your mother." Elizabeth led the girl towards the vanity desk on the other side of the room. She stood behind her and began to fix her hair. She worked in silence brushing the long thick hair that hung long below her shoulders.

"There you go. Perfect," Elizabeth exclaimed turning the girl around to look at her.

"It's beautiful Elizabeth, thank you," the girl replied softly only just taking her eyes off the mirror. Her eyes held so much sadness. Elizabeth should have never told Mr. Clarkston that Maria would attend the debut, but she couldn't back down now it was the night of the function. They would seem unrespectable and unreliable. She wished she could help her daughter relieve the depression from her heart but what was she to do?

There was a knock at the door interrupting the silence.

"Come in," called Elizabeth. The butler opened the door bowing in the archway.

"Miss Maria, your escort is here."

"Thank you."

"Okay, have fun," Elizabeth said as Maria followed him out the room. "I'm sorry Maria…"

A/N: This is only the first chapter. The next is actually almost complete cause I was gonna just do a one-shot but I figured what the hell and I'm just making a mini-series or whatever- R&R
