2. Chapter 2: Afternoon Tea

Chapter 2: Tea

"Sorry Mum" Amber put the basket she had taken to the tree down, "I was out on the hill again." She sat next to her mother. Alexandra just shook her head.

"It still surprises me that you come home everyday." Her mother put the book down on the stand. Both stood up and went into the house.

Their house was fairly big with pictures of realitives and people they admire. Because of her mother, there were bookshelves with any book imaginable, another thing passed down to Amber."Oh mum!" Amber smaked her forehead, " I made you a flower necklace up on the hill."She had a horrible habit of forgetting things. Everyone was surprised she still knew her name. She hurried back to her basket and grabbed the necklace. Her mother smiled and took it to her room. Then two men walked in.

"Late again are we?" said the younger of the two. It was her older brother, Edward. He was a couple of inches taller than her and had dark brown curly hair and his mother's green eyes. "Sorry I was having a good time Eddie," she snapped back, sticking her tongue out. "Sorrey I'm late again Daddy" she smiled at him"I was-"

"Out on the hill" he finished. He had heard the excuse more than a thousand times. He shook his head and gave his daughter a scolding look.

"I got you a basket of apples though" she said and went to go retrieve her basket. He greatly accepted it. Being a Hobbit and all. He then left the rom to set up the kettle of tea. The rest soon followed after him

"Suck up" Eddie told her on their way in.

""Weirdo"

Then they all sat down at their usual spots. Amber sitting down across Edward and Alexandra sitting across from Elijah. That was one of the many times of the day that the family would get together and eat. They would talk, or in Edward and Amber's case, bicker.

"So Amber," her mother started, "Yesterday you were telling us about a new book you were about to read. How is that going?" Amber smaked her head.

"You want to hear a funny story?" Amber laughed nervously, "I sort of left the book out on the hill." She faced her mother, "I'll go get it after tea, I promise" She could hear her brother scoff behind her. Her mother nodded.

Yup everything was normal. The rest of the time went well. They discussed the most unusual subjects. Yup this was a pretty normal family. Sort of.
