Chapter 2~ Memories
Disclaimer: Remember I own nothing ^^
Violet gazed out the carriage towards the mountains
"Isn't it beautiful Gigi?" she asked and looked forward towards the plump woman in front of her. Gigi had been her maid since she was 8 when her grandmother felt it was time she should have one
"Yes madam"
"Why this is the first time I've ever been to this part of the country it's just so... different"
Indeed it was different from the meadow that surrounded her grandparent Manor. The mountains rose tall and were made of strong earth while the earth below was a lush ever green that seemed to never need watering indeed this place was beautiful.
Violet stared as the mountains began to fade and the grass began to shrivel upon the barren earth. The sky turned from ocean blue to crimson red. Why this wasn't beautiful why this place looked rather sad. To ease her mind Violet pulled out her leather pocket-book and began to write
"Madam what is that?' Gigi asked letting her curiosity get the best of her
"Oh it's just some letters I'm writing" Violet said sweetly
"Letters for what?"
"Why of the boys I'm leaving behind"
"Countess Ivory said you were to stick to your studies this year"
"Yes but my dear Gigi I can't just leave them while I go away to study"
"What does that mean"
"I'm planning on writing them"
"Them?"
"Don't worry Gigi its only Dallas and Lane"
"Dallas?! The Parker boy?"
"Yes. Gigi can I tell you a secret?"
"Of course madam"
"I kinda fancy the thought of one day marrying Dallas"
"Your grandparents wouldn't have it"
"So? It didn't stop my parents"
Gigi became silent she knew it wouldn't help to begin a conversation about Violet's parents her grandparents forbid such conversations. So Violet began to dream of Dallas. Sweet charming Dallas with his dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair. He was her dream if only their wasn't a three-year age difference.
He had told her earlier this year he has planned on leaving the beautiful Starlit kingdom to go study near the Clarissa Kingdom and Violet couldn't sleep for days. The very thought of not having him near her made her sick. That is why before she left she asked to send him letters. He was always rather sweet on her and gladly said she could.
Ah Dallas yes one day she planned on marrying him. Soon the sound of horse hooves on cobblestone came to her and she looked up. Why what she saw terrified her. A city of small sad-looking homes all side by side. The streets were covered in dirt and much to her horror the creatures living here were all goblins!
"Gigi!" Violet whispered as if someone would hear he
Gigi sat frozen and looked out the window she wasn't expecting to see goblin (a low-class even for her standards as a maid) the Count and Countess forgot to mention this. Violet froze and looked at her lap pretending not to see anything and she didn't look up till she heard a knock. Her carriage door opened to a small goblin dressed in a coat of velvet and in gold trousers. She looked up at the castle it was tall and made of strong gray bricks and the road leading to it was a rich red dirt road
"Ello Madman Ivory"
A rather good try Violet thought to herself for a goblin
"Thes way" he snorted at her
"Wait what about my stuff?"
"No worry Madman the servnt wil fetch hose and tak em to yur room"
"Wonderful thank you"
He led her into the main room and bowed
"Ill be ight bac"
She rubbed her blue velvet gown down and lifted it to see if her golden shoes had been covered in the rich soil
"Hello Madame Ivory" spoke a beautiful woman who walked into the room she was stunning thought Violet with long raven black hair and glowing green eyes. Her dress showed her beautiful figure. It was the color of star dust and her lips were painted a very bold dramatic red.
"Do you know who I am?" spoke the beautiful woman
"Forgive me Miss but I don't"
At this the woman smiled and walked to the throne placed on a platform and sat on it
"Oh My!" Violet said picking up her skirt and making a deep curtsy "Please forgive me your highness"
"Its okay" smiled the now known Queen Sarah "I had Helo show you in and I'm dreadfully sorry I just had to introduce myself and show you to your room"
"It is okay your highness"
"You see I haven't many ladies in waiting barely six and now seven with you"
"It is an honor to serve you" Violet smiled to the Queen
"Now let me show you your room"
Violet walked down a long dark hallway with Sarah showing her the many painting and sculptures placed around the hall
"I won't lie I was scared when I first saw the palace" confessed Violet
"Ah" smiled Sarah "So was I till I saw what lies beyond the castle walls"
Violet arrived to a large red door which on it was painted in gold paint pictures of angels with wings stretched outwards toward the heavens
"If you need anything call me"
"Thank you" Violet said once again and curtsied
"I hope you and me can become dear friends" and Sarah was off once again leaving behind the dark hallway
I think I might like it here Violet thought
