don't own TF, just the OC's

Tea Time!

Once outside I had to cover my eyes from the bright sun. Anna opened an umbrella to shield me from the sun.

"Thank you Anna." I murmured. I continued to walk in silence Anna behind me holding the umbrella. I reached the table my mother was sitting at.

With her were my father, Jason, and my brother, Andrew. I sat in the only chair available under the umbrella covered table. Anna stood by behind me holding the now closed umbrella.

"Nice to see you've joined us Sleeping Beauty." my brother taunted.

I scowled. "Shut it asshole!" My mother glared at me and I immediately shut up. She didn't like that kind of language.

My father cleared his throat. "Now that we're all here, let's go over the schedule." I tuned them out as I thought about today.

'Today's the day I turn 18. Then when everyone's asleep I sneak out and get out of this hell hole forever!' I came back to reality as soon as the conversation ended.

"Everything's in order and I expect you to be on your best behavior young lady. No swearing or getting into fights, is that clear?" my mother asked.

I faked a smile. "Of course mother, I will be on my best behavior." My parents gave me one last wary glance before leaving. My brother had left sometime during the conversation, leaving me all alone.

I decided to go for a walk in the garden before I had to go greet the guests. Anna followed behind me with the umbrella above my head. I admired the flowers and their beauty. I saw a pair of robins perched on a stone bench, peering at me curiously. As I walked closer they flew away.

"So majestic. So free. I'm envious of them. Being able to do what they want, go wherever they want. I wish I could do as such." I whispered softly. I lingered a second longer before heading back into the mansion, Anna hot on my heels. It was time to greet the guests and then, later tonight, put my plan into action.
