Tarra

Chapter 5
Breakfast and friendship bonding

Tarra quietly walked into the breakfast hall. Seated there alreadywhere Mark, Marina, Millie, and of course, the King and Queen. Tarra quietly squeezed herself into a seat between Mark and her father. But she did not go un-noticed like she had hoped. Marina looked at her as if she where crazy for talking to birds. Millie looked slightly mad that Tarra had caused her so much worry the other day, and Queen Ella looked quiet tired from not enough sleep.

'At least that's not my fault,' she thought to herself. King Charmont looked approvingly at her. He was probably still amused at her 'adventure', as he called it, and Mark continued to grin at her for a reason she could not quite understand. 'Maybe I'm just imagining it, she thought to herself, brushing it away.

"Good Morning, my family. Did everyone have a pleasant sleep?" Father asked us. We all nodded. That is, for mother, who just smiled and squeezed father's hand under the table. I was beginning to worry about her. She hadn't eaten much lately, and she wasn't getting enough sleep as it was. Father went on to say grace while holding mothers hand. Once all eyes where opened the servants brought in the food and we started eating.

Our family never did this often enough, for many times we where not all accounted for. But we did make an effort to get together for meals at least once a week. And people say royal life is perfect.

I ate as quickly as I could, though I couldn't think of a reason why. I guess I was hungry. Once breakfast was over everyone got up and went their separate ways, Father helping mother up the stairs for a nap, Mark running off to meet some girl he fancied, Marina going to meet some of her friends, and Millie lingering to help with the dishes.

Since I had nothing really planned and I felt like killing time untill 3 o'clock, I stayed and helped Millie and Mandy in the kitchen. But once we where done it was only 8 o'clock, with seven hours to go. I sighed. This was going to be a long day.

I wandered outside in the gardens waiting for the hours to slowly creep by. That's exactly what they where doing. I sighed and sat down on the rim ofthe fountain. This was boring. Why couldn't three o'clock just come? I sighed again and sat there another minute. Then suddenly there was an outburst of giggling and Marina and her friends emerged from behind the bushes.

'How long had they been watching me?' I wondered. Marina walked up to the fountain.

"So, who is he?" the sudden question startled me immensely.

"W-what?" I stuttered quietly. Marina and her friends burst out in laughter.

"The boy you are day dreaming about!" Daisy spit out. I sat there in shock. I had to think fast.

"Your crazy, Daisy. I'm to young to be thinking about boys!" I was surprised at the enthusiasm in my voice. Marina rolled her eyes. Claire, Daisy and Karisa copied her, doing the same thing. I couldn't help but roll my eyes at them rolling their eyes.

Marina shook her head and pulled me up from the rim of the fountain.

"We have the ideal place to talk about this, don't we, girls?"

All of them nodded their heads quickly. Normally, Marina would hate being one of those girls who are in groups that are always giggling and acting stupid, but Marina loved the attention shereceived from the noble girls and how they felt honored just to stand beside Marina, or any of the royals, especially Mark. Marina and Daisy stopped walking and turned to me. They looked at each other and Marina nodded.

"We are going to give you the honor and privilege of seeing our secret hideout, but we must blindfold you and you must never, under any circumstances," Daisy and Marina said the last sentence together-

"tell anyone." They made it sound like a colt. But I nodded reluctantly. Marina continued to tie her silk scarf around my eyes and take my hand to lead me in some direction I could now not see.

We continued to walk through the gardens, and I could tell when we where in places where the sun was deeply hidden by bushes and vinery.

When Marina unbound me, I saw something that surprised me so much thatI took a step back. We were in a small, green grove, with moss cushioning the ground and beautiful flowering ivy hanging all around us. Claire and Karisa smirked happily. No matter how much Daisy and Marina left them out of everything, (and they did), Claire and Karisa always cared about just being there. I felt sick at the thought of noble girls drooling over me every time I did the smallest thing. Yuck.

It only took me a few minutes to realize what we where init was a relivingly large gazebo. It was beautifully made with decorations painted into its body, that weaved through each other endlessly. It took me another minute to realize that I had been staring for ages. Everyone was smirking at me. I didn't much like the position I was in.

"Now, what was it you wanted from me, kind sister?" I said it with just a little more spite in my voice than I had meant. Oh, well. Marina looked at me annoyingly.

"We want to hear all about him!"

I shook my head. "There is no him, Marina!" I was truly annoyed. From this 'hideout', as they called it, I couldn't see the sky, and there was no way I would be able to see the sun to tell me when it was three o'clock. I was getting worried that I wouldn't make it to the front gate in time. Or did he say front entrance? I couldn't remember. But arent they the same thing? Sweat ran down my forehead and down the side of my face. Marina continued.

"Look, Tarra, you can make this hard, or easy. But either way, we will find out."

I sighed. "Its none of your business, anyway. And do not think that just because you brought me here doesn't mean I can't leave whenever I want."

They all burst out laughing again. I scowled.

"What now?" Daisy looked at me as if to say something, but then burst into another fit of laughter. I hated this. Marina said it for Daisy.

"We have a lock on the gazebo door, so actually, you can't leave whenever you want." she laughed again. I started to panic. Then I realized, 'this is my sister we aretalking about. You know, that girl you had breakfast with this morning? There is no need to panic at all.' But I couldn't help myself. Marina was, well, different when she was with these girls. Mean. Controlling. Evil. I laughed at that thought. They all shut up immediately as soon as I laughed. Then they looked at each other.

"So, who is he?" they all asked in unison.

"None of your business." I said again. Claire gasped. Daisy and Marina caught on quickly.

"So there is someone!" Claire said. Crud. There was no way out of this, and I would never get out of here until I told them. I took a deep breath and nodded. Marina squealed. They all repeated her. I sighed again.

"What's his name?" Karisa asked excitedly. I was not going to tell them who he was. No. Matter. What.

"I-I can't tell you." I got out. Daisy looked worried. "Why not?"

I had to think fast.

"Because we arenot really even supposed to be together." What? This was a lie. Or was it? We weren'teven together anyway. Where we? Was I even supposed to spend time with a farmer's nephew? I had never interacted with a boy who was not my brother. I had also never thought of this before, but it was working out to be an interesting thing to think about. If only it wasn't me we were talking about.

"Why?" Daisy asked again. I shrugged.

"I'm a princess." through this entire episode Marina hadremained quiet. I looked at her. I could tell she was deep in thought. Suddenly she embraced me without warning.

"My little sister is in love." she said. I feel backwards.

"What? No, no, youhave it all wrong. We just meet! Marina, are you crazy! I'm just fourteen years old!" Marina pulled back.

"Will you tell me when you figure out who you love? ...Please Tarra, I'd want to know. We are sisters. Sisters share." I was surprised at the seriousness in Marina's voice. Was she serious? Was this even happening, or was I still in bed, dreaming? That must be it. I was dreaming. None of this had happened. I hadn't even meet Ben. He was a figment of my imagination. But then why couldn't I wake up? Better yet, did I want to?

Terribly short, but don't shoot me, okay? I'm working on more.

P.S. Ignore anything spelled wrong, will yah? I know there are at least 2 words in here that don't exist, but if I can make up a story, can't I make up a word? (Example: relivingly.)... I didn't think so... Oh well, to late now. : P

Oh, and one more thing: I don't know if Ella's family was religious, and I did not mean to offend anyone by having them say grace. But it is accustomed in my family and I couldn't help but not leave it out. I will not say sorry, for I am not ashamed of my religion, but I do want to keep others beliefs in mind and say that I did not mean to offend. With that said, I will repeat myeternal comment: PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSE review:0)
