A/N: Well, guess what? Your reviews made me so happy that here is a chapter. Would you look at that.
I'm still not sure where I want the story to go but I figured that this one is rather fun. Since I'm almost finished with my story "A whole new me" I figured I should update at least two. So now I'm going to try writing this one, "Invisible" as well as one that I'm not publishing yet. I want it finished first, It's a twilight fanfiction. :P Aside from those I also have "December of the moon" which I'm also sort of stuck at :P
Anyway, here's a chapter. Please tell me what you thought! I tried to give you a look at what her life is like in Moonacre here so I hope you Enjoy! :D
"How am I different?" I asked confused.
"Well, you speak without really thinking, yet you are shy. You seem real. Most girls where I'm from is so fake. They act so that people will like them. You don't," Robin said.
"Don't let my mother hear you say that. She would be very displeased with me," I said shortly.
"Somehow I think that founding out you met me in the forest would be worse," he said and smiled.
"Yes, I think she might die from shock if she heard that," I said and laughed.
"Are your mother very strict?" he asked me after we were finished laughing.
"Yes, she constantly tells me how a woman should be to be attractive. She wishes me to be quiet, obedient and beautiful. She want me to tend to our house and learn to sow. So far I haven't succeeded in fulfilling one of these wishes," I said.
"I'm going to tell you a secret, Miss Amelia. All those things you mentioned. Is extremely unattractive in a woman in my opinion," he said and smiled the most adorable smile ever.
I smiled and got this warm feeling inside. Not only is he handsome but he's nice as well, a rare combination.
"Well, I don't think I said it before but I like you too. You are different as well," I said honestly.
"I'm glad to hear that," he said and kept looking around in the trees.
"You seem like you are looking for something," I questioned.
"Oh, I'm just making sure my father's falcon isn't here. That would mean a lot of trouble for me and you," he said.
I smiled back at him and then heard a voice screaming my name. That was my mothers voice.
"Oh my lord, that's my mother. I have to go!" I said and started to run towards Moonacre.
"I hope I'll see you again," I heard Robin call.
Luckily for me I hadn't reached far into the woods so I managed to get out of the woods before my mother saw me.
"We're you thinking of going into the forest again?" my mother raged.
"What? No! I was just looking," I tried.
"Don't lie to me young lady!" she said and dragged me along with her. When I looked back I saw Robin looking at me from afar and I smiled.

"How are we ever going to find anyone willing to marry you?" my mother complained as she saw my failed attempt at sewing a dress.
She picked it up and looked at it.
"Do you honestly believe this will do?" she said and ripped it apart without any real problems.
"I am trying, mother! I am trying as good as I can!" I cried. I was so frustrated with my mother and myself.
"Well, it is not good enough," she said coldly and walked out of our sowing chamber.
Our home was quite big, we were the second richest family in Moonacre. After the Merryweather's of course.
My father had an office that I was not to enter, we had the sowing chamber. The kitchen were our cook worked at my mothers every command. We also had several bed chambers. I had one, my parents two and of course we had a few guestrooms. We had the library, the belcony, I could go on forever, all in all: We had way more then we needed.
I sighed and got up from the chair.
I walked into the kitchen.
"Ana-Maria, do you have anything sweet?" I asked our cook as I walked in.
"Of course, Miss Amelia," she said and gave me some sort of newly made cookie.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Just call me Amelia," I said and smiled.
"If your mother heard me say that then she would be very displeased with me," she answered. Ana-Maria was an old lady who had lost her husband a few years ago. She started working for us and she was also living here. She got a room and food exchange for her services. She was a kind and sweet lady.
"Yes, that is true. I wouldn't want to unleash her anger on you," I said and smiled. "Thank you for the cookie," I added and walked out.
I hated being at home. I never really liked it here, I never fit in and it was like I didn't belong here at all. How could I be so different from my parents and why did they seem to hate me so much?
"There you are, your mother said you were thinking of going into the forest again," my father said harsh.
"Father, there's nothing to do here in the valley, I just wanted to find something new," I complained.
"You want something new? The only thing that is in the forest are savages you've never seen that before," he said.
"Have you even met them? You don't know them!" I argued.
"Of course I haven't met them! I don't socialize with people like them," he said. He spoke as if he was so much better then they were.
"If you only tried to see things from their side maybe you could get along," I tried.
"Get along? Wait, why am I trying to reason with you? You are a woman, you don't understand these things. Go and do something more suited for a woman. Like sowing, but of course you are useless at that as well," he said annoyed.
My eyes started to water and I ran up to my room.
