Daughter of Horse and Hunt

by prettylightsandcitysounds

It has been 17 years since the union of the my parents, Bash and Kenna. Their life has continued created the gift of life. Well, I don't know if I should call myself a gift. I am Lady Carolina, Mistress of Horse and Hunt & this is my story. I've only heard stories of my parents and all of the say that they were in love since the start. But, is that the real truth?

2. The Ball and My Father

Ch.2

Here's the next chapter. Enjoy. Leave me reviews for ideas! None of these characters, except for Carolina, belong in any way to me.

The Ball

Here is it is. My birthday celebration. Unnecessary but it is nice my parents care to do this for me every year. I'm their only child. Mother won't tell me why. Yet again, James seems to know and won't tell me because, "dear cousin this secret isn't for prim and proper girls". As you can tell I don't like that boy even a bit, yet we have grown up together. I assume he means well but doesn't know how to show it. Or at least that is what Auntie Mary says.

Anyways back to the celebration, I can't wait to see if Father is here. Lately, he is rarely here and i can tell that it makes Mother quite unhappy. Since I spend most of my time with her I can tell that she is quite upset. Mother has the type of face that tells all of its problems without even opening her mouth. I love her for that. Sometimes I don't even need to ask and I already know the answer.

As I walk down the stairs, I meet Uncle Francis' son by Lady Lola. His name is John and he is quite a character. When we were small I always spent ample time with him and John. I was always the only girl until Aunt Mary had little Aylee, named after one of her former ladies in waiting. I was always the fastest and least strong of our group, but I always enjoyed the times we played. Today I see the face of my childhood friend and can't help but stare. He has been away in Scotland for over 2 years and today I see him again and he has really changed. His features are that of Adonis. He has Francis' blonde hair and Aunt Lola's green eyes. We both stop and look at each other and he says "My, my, the little lady of Horse and Hunt has grown up a little. Sounds like this is going to be just like old times. I'm glad to be back.

He says these words in a teasing tone while enveloping me in a strong hug. I've always felt safe in his hugs but never like this. Mother wouldn't be pleased. I think her goal is for me to marry John and be the next Queen of France. Or maybe it isn't… I wouldn't know. I feel like I am never told anything. John never tells me anything saying that those things are for men to know and ladies to never find out.

As I arrive at the ball, I am greeted by what seems like hundreds of people. The party seems to be at full swing and there all my friends and family and people of the castle are gathered. The tables are piled with all types of food, drinks, and gifts. The party seems to be almost as grand as the parties thrown for the heirs of the throne. I'm quite shy at parties and have been trying to kick the habit of disappearing throughout them.

I see mother at the front of the hall standing next to a very familiar man. It seems that my beloved Father has returned! I run straight at him and throw myself into his surprised arms. He lightly whispers, "my little songbird how I've missed you". I think the party has just gotten better, I think with a slight smile.
