This was just for fun and I thought I would share it.
Chapter 1
I was minding my own business. I really was, but fate decided my life needed to be more interesting. My name is Crystal. Some call me Chris or Chrissy, and the people that really want to bother me call me Sissy or even Sassy. So I get called a lot of things. I live with my Mom, my dad, my two younger sisters Reina and Kate, and my two older twin brothers, Crow and Draco. We are an American family that moved to England when i was a kid. The date in question I was 16 years of age. It was fall of 1916. I worked in the fields in the fall. I am stronger then mot girls and even some guys. I am very smart. So to do the jobs I need to do to help pay for our family's tuition for collage, because the money from my dads job goes other places. It has something to do with black mail. My dad won't explain.
I have to dress as a boy because it is easiest for me to work in the fields as a boys. Which it a good thing because I have a smart mouth that will get any girl in way to much trouble. I am shorter that the average girl but still tall enough to get things done. I have longer brown hair that reaches below my chest with thick bangs that are above my eyebrows. So I braid it and put it in a baggy hat I wear. You would think I have tan skin from working in the sun, but no. I am not deathly pale, but still pale. The only difficulty with having to dress as a boy is I has a bigger chest. Mom says I am lucky. But I am not attractive sexually, thankfully. I have thicker for arms from all the work I do. I have thicker thighs and mid section from work and I like to eat. I do not have rough hands because mom makes me wear gloves. It has to do with what I do for my family income. I am good at making things with my hands. Yarn Brackets, knitting, sowing, hat making, anything. I usually do that in the spring and winter. In the summer I sing for weddings and gathering for people who can pay. I was born talented. My only problem is my smart mouth and grades. I am a little lazy when it comes to things I am supposed to do. I love to read but our schedule does not always allow me to do some thing for my self. I am a little bit of a let down compared to my brothers. They both are prodigies, and both are very handsome. We live completely moderately and work all the time so Crow can go be a doctor and Draco can be a lawyer. I love my brothers dearly but I have a huge shadow to fill. My sisters are also delicate and beautiful and perfect in society. They both can cook (so can I), clean( me too), have perfect manners (not so much), sew, look nice, talk about the Right things, and stuff like that. Kate is the sweetest girl you will ever meet and will one day make a man very happy. Reina is independent, confident, cool, and very bossy. She will make a wonderful politicians wife. Me I belong in the fields. I work, sing, talk, and laugh. I have wonderful friends their.
One particular day I was joking with my friend Fred and my boss came and told me some men were looking for me. I was curios and took the long way so I can observe these people before I meet them. I have a weird gift that I inherited from Dad. I can observe characteristics. It is more fun that, useful but it came in handy that incident. I watched three men on the porch hiding in the wheat. The man that was younger that the rest, seemed to be in charge. He was dressed really nicely and his darker skin and hair told me he was a foreigner. He was probably raised on a farm by the way the smell didn't get to him. The real tip was He steeped in some horse manure and didn't seem to mind. I watched curiously as the other two men obviously didn't want to be here. I came out of the plants when my boss went back out to look for my.
I called out, "look'en for someone." In my boyish voice. The body guards looked at me and almost said something rude, but the young man in charge stopped him.
"Yes, we are looking for Crystal Luna. Do you know her?" When he spoke he had a slight accent and was actually quiet handsome.
"Yeah, Chrissy? Who don'n know her?"
"Do you know where she is?" He asked kindly.
I stepped forward and gave him my Cheshire Cat grin, "Yep!"
"Will tell me?" The man asked.
"Depends, if you will tell me why you are looking for her."
"To give her an opportunity to work temporarily work for my employer."
That is when my boss came in and ruined my game. "Ah Cris, there you are. What took you so long?"
I smiled at the shocked faces. I started talking in my normal voice, "Sorry boss."
The foreigner smiled softly. "I really hope you are dressed up."
I pulled off my shabby hat and the braids came spilling down. I sat down at the table that was on the porch. "Now what brought you here to the fields instead of my house."
He sat down opposite of me and said, "I did originally come to your house. Your sister, Reina I believe it was, informed me that you were here. I asked to speak to your mother, but Miss Reina told me that if I was to speak about business I was to come directly to you. She so throughly explained that you would not take a job if your mother tried to force you into it."
"My sister was correct. What is the job exactly?"
"Sir Derek Wolf has requested you as a guest and entertainer for a... Gathering he is going to set up."
My eyes instantly widened. DEREK WOLF. He is riches person in the whole country! At the age of 21 he is the most handsome womanizer, and business man around. He has the reputation of finding talent in small places. That would explain the young man in front of me.
I skillfully said, "what." In the most shocked deadpanned voice ever. I stood up. "Why in the world, would he do that!"
"I can not explain my masters reasonings." That stopped me 'master?' I looked him over again... At first he called him his employer, but master? I don't know why his choice of words bothered me but it did. As I looked him over again, he wasn't old. He was probably about twenty, and like I said quiet a looker. He was muscular but skinny, and not extremely tall but still pretty tall. He had dark skin and hair. The thing that sparked my interest the most was his emerald green eyes. He could be a womanizer as well, but I had a feeling he wasn't really interested in women. I closed my eyes for a second. This couldn't be a prank, because these men were to professional for that. "I would like to go home and discuss this with my family, and if and only if I say yes, When will I be going?"
"I was hoping we could leave tomorrow."
"Such short notice! What! Why?" I exclaimed.
"You know most women would be hon reed and even thrilled to get this offer." He said with a glint of amusement in his eyes.
For some reason I blushed slightly, but kept talking like I didn't notice. "Yes, but I do not want to just through my self into some thing, especially if I have a bad feeling about it, and I tend to get my self in trouble."
This concerned the foreigner, "bad feeling?"
"For one thing I don't even know your name." I said.
"Oh, forgive me miss. I am Jack."
Jack hound instantly came to my mind, when he said that. And he calls his employer 'master'... I interrupted my train of thought.
"Like I said sir, I would like to talk about it with my family."
"I am positive your family will approve."
I smirked, "yeah especially my mom, but still... I need to talk it over please, I might be needed to finish the harvest..."
He interrupted me, "If this about money, you will get paid a large amount to sing. Clothes and other ideas that you might need will be provided, but I will take you home before you decided, if you insist."
So what happened after that is we picked up my bike and told me boss the situation and he understood. I left and finally came home. I invited the men in for something to drink but only Jack came in. Kate made him some tea while Reina politely flirted with him. He answered in polite answers, but was not interested. Draco came home before my mother. He is tall and quiet the ladies man. He ruffed my hair and asked Jack what he was doing here. He gladly explained for the third time.
"Are there gardens?" Kate asked.
"Yes, beautiful gardens they were sir Wolf's mothers."
"Were?" Draco and I asked at the same time. Jack looked slightly uncomfortable.
"Yes she Died." Reina informed us. "Spanish influenza, Sir, William Wolf was so devastated, by his wife's death that he buried his self into work.
"Leaving poor Derek to fend for himself." She sighed.
Poor Jack looked confused. "Yes exactly, I see your reputation was correct."
"And which one would that be." Crow came in.
Crow is the most serious, arrogant , narcissist you will ever meet. He is also Moms pride and joy. He is the smartest man I have ever meet. I love him. He is Draco opposite. Draco is easy going, funny, actually shows emotion most of the time, and doesn't think most people are a waste of time. The only thing the same about the is their pride of their good looks and they are both brilliant. They are both narcissists. Mom and dad actually adopted them a few years after I was born. The were eighteen. I smiled and went to hug him. He is too prideful to show affection around strangers but some reason he would show it towards me. Crow acts like a bad guy but he has got a good kind heart. He actually works as a well known detective now. Crows secret ambition is to stay a detective but a doctor looks better.
"Nice to see you again Jack." Crow said with hardly any emotion, but his body language told me he didn't hate Jack. Which is how he normally talks to some one out side the family.
"How do you know him?" I asked
"His master loves crime scenes." He had a slight emphasis on master which would have been looked over by a normal person. Which I doubted any one in that room was a normal person.
