Constructive criticism is encouraged and much appreciated! I would really like to know how to make this story better. Read and Review :)
My bare feet slammed against the cold hard forest floor as I ran for my life. "Running is useless..." said a man who suddenly appeared in-front of me; all I could make out in the darkness was his golden eyes. "N-No j-just, get away!" I yelled walking backwards quickly until my back hit a tree. My breath hitched in my throat as he advanced towards me and spoke in a cold, monotone voice, "I guess we are going to have to do this the hard way." The man grabbed both my wrists and pulled me forwards then slammed me back, hard. As soon as my head hit the tree trunk, I screamed a name, and everything went black.
I shot up, a cold sweat breaking out across my forehead. "Lady Castell, it's time to get up." came a bored voice as the curtains were thrown apart. I shrieked dramatically and covered my eyes with my hands, "No! The light it burns! Damon what are you trying to do, please oh please gods spare me!" I paused in my act for a moment and shot a glare at my butler, "Wait a second . .How many times have it told you? Call me Vera, V-e-r-a, not Lady Castell, Vera okay?" The owner of the bored voice, Damon, smirked slightly and rolled his eyes at my overly-dramatic antics. "Alright, Vera,V-e-r-a, not Lady Castell, Vera okay. Please get up, we are going back to London today. Huh, that's a little long for a title don't you think?" Damon asked, his icy blue eyes glinting in amusement. "You really suck at being a butler you know that?" I scoffed and threw a pillow at his face, but of course he caught it before it hit him. He gave me another smirk and walked out of the room leaving me to change.
Sometimes I swear he's my long lost older brother in disguise as my butler. Though he really wouldn't have to change his appearance much considering we already looked quite a lot alike. I sighed slightly, shaking my head of all thoughts. I turned on the shower and let the steaming hot water and washed for about ten minutes before getting out and wrapping a white fluffy towel around myself. I walked over to my closet and pulled on a light blue dress adorned lightly with black lace. Looking down I realized the dress was a bit too short for my liking so I pulled on some shorts under the dress and put on short black socks with tall boots. Running a brush through my hair I glanced in the mirror before throwing the brush on my bed and running out the door and down the stairs.
~5 minute Time Skip~
Damon opened the carriage door for me and I stepped in, him following in behind, and sitting opposite of me. I heared the sound of the reins being pulled and the horses started walking well, more like running, but you get the idea. "This is going to be a really long ride, isn't it Damon?" I asked my butler. He looked at me and nodded with a hint of amusement - gasp big shocker- he knows all about my, uh, tendency to be slightly, well, impatient. We sat there in silence for about 15 minutes before I groaned loudly in frustration, "Damon I'm bored."
"Sounds like a personal problem Vera, get over it." he said. "God what is your problem, today? Usually your all making fun of me in any way you can and acting like an annoying older brother." I said trying to break him of his silence, it was starting to get on my nerves. Damon grinned evily and spoke in a sly voice, "So . . you want me to start tormenting you like always." "Wait what?No that's not what I meant! It's just your so quiet." I yelled my eyes going wide and waving my hands in the air. "You are such an idiot Vera." Damon snorted rolling his eyes. "Wow, yeah Damon you sound like an amazing butler. I wonder what the queen would think of you saying something like that to an innocent little 14 year old girl." I muttered to myself sarcastically.
I heard a low growling sound and I looked up to see Damon glaring at me his eyes starting to glow a pinkish color. "Heh, Damon um . . Damon I u-uh sorry, y-you're~" My voice went high and I stuttered, pressing my back against the side of the carriage. The butler stood up, completely ignoring the fact we were in a moving carriage, and towered over my small figure, glaring straight at me. "Damon . ." I managed to squeak out. He leaned in closer and looked about ready to strangle me, when he laughed. My eyes narrowed, "Y-you. . .you jerk! That was not funny!" I screamed at him. "Oh but it was." Damon retorted still laughing and sitting back down. "Oh gods this is going to be a really really long ride." I mumbled to myself leaning my head against the window and slowly drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
