Chapter 9

(This will mean dreams)

Buffy sits in the park watching the other kids play in the sand. She smiles and turns her face towards the sun; it's a beautiful day, warm and perfect just like her mood on this day. Happy birthday to you a group of kids sings as she sits in the middle of them all. Her parents kiss her cheeks and place a big cake in front of her. She blows them out.

A lady screams her name which wakes Lizzy from her dreams. She sits straight up looking around her small room. She then gets up and makes her way to the door. "Yes, Mrs. Martin. What can I do?" Lizzy yells back down the stairs.

"You are late, get down here and start breakfast for us." Mrs. Martin says loudly.

Lizzy gets dressed and goes down stairs. She walks into the kitchen, there she see the cook trying to mange all the pots, cooking. "Here Beth, I will take over the meats. Sorry that I woke up late." She says to the senior cook. "Go out and get more wood for the stove and make it quick."

I wish these people would stop bossing me around, Lizzy thinks to her self. Lizzy has turned into a beautiful woman. William has been watching her more in the past few months. His arranged marriage has fallen apart, so he is around more and is it to noticing that Lizzy is becoming a lady.

April 21, 1867

Lizzy sits in her employer's drawing room, as sits straight and proper men sat on the other side of the room. This is the day she has been waiting for; her employer inviting her to one of her famous parties. She has been on the other side of the party and she enjoys this side more. She notices the men looking her way, but there is one who is giving her dirty looks. Lizzy stands and walks towards the main floor and is greeted by the man who was being not very nice.

"I know you. Who do you think you are fooling? You were born trash and you should stay there." Lizzy looks shocked. "Now go back in the kitchen and bring me a drink." He says as he pushes his empty glass into her hand. She looks down at the glass and drops it to the floor. She turns as the gentleman laughs. William notices the commotion on the other side of the room.

Lizzy walks towards the kitchen, William follows with some distance behind. When he reaches her he gently grabs her arm, when she turns he is surprised to see her crying. "What is wrong Lizzy?" he asks. "Oh nothing sir just reminded of my place in the world of money and birth rights." She turns and goes towards her room.
