3rd Person's P.O.V
Sometimes life isn't fair. I found that out the hard way.
Once I had found out that my Farther had hired someone to murder my Mother. Everything in my life, just as I knew it to be changed... Forever...
...
Mystery P.O.V
I knew that something was wrong from the moment I woke up. The dreadful funeral, after my Mother's death. Everything was changing.
At first my Farther started to bring home this women who I have to admit was quite beautiful, she had long auburn hair that always seemed to be done up in a rather intricate way. All he said was that they were 'friends'. But I could see it in that women's devilish green eyes that she wanted more - she wanted to be married to my Father.
My Father, who I believed would always care for me and Cynthia before everyone else in the world, started to ignore us. Well me at least. Never Cynthia. Never. And he wouldn't dream of leaving this beautiful woman who he apparently loved more than my true Mother now, the reason I say now is that only a few short months after my Mother died my Farther proposed to this woman, whose name I had discovered to be Scarlet.
Behind her back me and Cynthia called her Scarlet Marlet. Marlet had no really meaning to us just a name that rhymed with Scarlet.
Just less than a year after Mother's death. My Farther and Scarlet had gotten married. With Cynthia all dressed up in her lovely new white ball gown that was brought especially for that reason. By this time Scarlet had decided that she hated me and since I was the least favourite child in the house. My Farther sent me to stay with his Brother while the wedding was taking place.
I was actually quite revived not to be in that house anymore with all the hate everywhere. At home it was like our Mother never existed. Scarlet had wiped her out off the house completely. Maybe that was why she hated me so much was because I looked too much like my Mother, Cynthia was lucky she only had my Mother's warm dark brown eyes. Apart from that she looked like our Farther.
My time away was in the countryside. A lovely change of scenery, compared to the cold, miserable town. Out there no one cared if you were boy or girl. Either was you were taught how to plough a field, ride a horse, and you weren't expected to lag off on your chores. If you did there would be a punishment.
Everything was peaceful. But even I know that everything good had to come to an end some time. Sooner or later.
In total I was left with my Uncle and Auntie for around three weeks, by then I could swear that everyone had almost forgotten me at home as I hadn't relieved any mail until that one fateful day when Uncle Jim said to me that I had be summoned back into town, and that I was sent to pack immediately. But the letter never said why.
...
As soon as I had arrived home I was greeted by crowd of my Step-Mother's friends. Just before I was whisked away by them to get ready for some stupid ball or something like that, I caught my Sister's eye and what I saw in it was deviation and disbelieve. But at what?
...
Once all the crazy women had left I was left in my room that really didn't look like my room anymore, dressed in only a dressing gown. When my Farther and Step-Mother came in. My Farther started to speak, 'When you was gone. Alice...Um... Well-' But my Step-Mother cut him off in her tight strict voice, 'What your Farther is trying to say that now you have just turned 17 you are old enough to be courted. While you are being courted by him you are to stay at his house wheAlso re ever it may be. So what I've done is organised someone for you and when you are of age at 18 you will marry him. You will be meeting him at tonight's annual Autumn ball.' As soon as all the information had left her mouth I spoke quietly, 'What?' almost completely unheard.
Once Scarlet had finished her mini-speech she pushed me into the bathroom slammed the door and shouted, 'You have 5 minuets'.
