Here's is chapter two of the rewritten version of 'Continued Story'. I thank you guys for all the follows and favorites and reviews last chapter. They made me really happy. So, let's head to the next chapter!
Enjoy! :)
After hearing those words come from the girl in front of her, she was trying to remember where she had heard those words from. Though, this girl had a strange sort of personality to her. When she asked her to play chess, she had the nicest smile, but after when it was her turn to move, she had a smirk on her face that deemed she was confident she was going to win.
The black haired girl waved her hand in the dazed princess's face." Earth to your highness. Earth to your highness!" Celeste shouted, snapping her fingers in the girl's face, catching her attention." Are you okay?"
Lilianna looked at the raven haired beauty." I'm fine," she answered." And you can call me Lilianna if you want. I'm not big on the formality."
"Great. A princess who isn't big on formality." Celeste sarcastically stated, smirking." That's good for me because I wasn't sticking with it anyway."
Lilianna laughed softly at the girl's response." Now, how about we finish our game?" she suggested, changing the topic.
The princess of Britannia was veritably crushed by the raven haired commoner in chess. Celeste had her legs crossed, was leaning back in her chair, and smirking in victory. Lilianna, like her mother, wasn't a sore loser. She just smiled at the other girl, mind still wondering how her king was trapped between two knights, a rook and pawn, of all things.
"Congratulations." she said, clapping her hands lightly.
Celeste chuckled, a smirk still plastered on her face." Thank you. You have a very nice personality like the empress, but there's something about you that doesn't deem you as a nice person to me."
Lilianna frowned at the new student."What makes you say that?"
"I don't know," Celeste shrugged." But anyway, I have enjoyed my time with you very much. I hope I get to see you again, Princess Lilianna." With that, Celeste packed away her chess board and walked out the door, her long, black hair following behind her.
She left Lilianna sitting in the classroom by herself, a frown still on her face. So her personality isn't what she introduced to the class.
~After School~
Lilianna was in her limousine, quietly sitting and thinking about her day at school. Celeste was a strange person to say the least, but she didn't know anything about her background. In fact, she never mentioned her last name when she made her self introduction.
The princess was so into her thoughts, she didn't even notice the car stop, nor did she hear her door open." Your highness, we are here. Please exit the car." the driver said, bowing as she climbed out the car.
Once inside the former viceroy palace, Lilianna was instantly greeted with 'welcome home', 'do you need anything, your highness', 'how was your day at school', or 'are you well?'. She hated being bombarded with questions like this. These were the questions her mother should have been asking, but she rarely saw her.
The only time she ever really saw her mother was when she had to go to formal balls, or when she was introduced to someone. She knew her mother was very busy, and never really had time for her, but it was only the two of them in the palace. She didn't really have any other relatives she knew except for her Aunt Cornelia, Uncle Guilford, and their son, but he was younger than her by seven years, so she was out of luck.
And then she was the president of the student council, so when her mother was off, she was never their to be with her. It was always the days when the council had a bunch of work to do, and by the time she got home, her mother was off doing something again.
She sighed, walking through the palace walls, and up to her room. She kicked her shoes, placing them in her giant walk-in closet. She grabbed a picture off her nightstand of her and her mother, but that was ten years ago. They were in the palace gardens with her mother sitting on the ground, and she was placed in her mother's lap, two huge smiles on their faces.
She placed the picture back down, and changed into her palace robes that were placed neatly on her bed, cleaned and pressed. A very short white jacket with long, feather like sleeves, and a light purple dress that layered in three at the bottom. The bottom flowed out, and she put on white shoes with a a small heel.
Grabbing a light purple ribbon, she put her hair in a neat bun. To finish, she put her small silver tiara on top of her head. She looked at herself in her full view body mirror, making sure she looked neat and ready before she went back to whatever her schedule was going to be today.
As she walked down the halls, her personal servant, who happened to be Japanese, Daisuke, suddenly appeared next to her, a warm smile on his face. He was twenty eight years old, and got this job only four years ago.
"Your highness, the first thing on your schedule today is that you are having tea with the Chinese empress's son, Fang Lihua." Daisuke said while moving his black bangs to the left a little so he couls see through his brown eyes.
Lilianna gave him a small nod, sighing inwardly. She didn't mind the Empress Tianzi's son, but for an eleven year old, he was a handful. He also like to always be around her, always clinging on to her arms, or playing with her tiara.
"Yes."
"Don't worry, your highness," Daisuke said." I'll make sure he doesn't cause you a nuisance. "
"Thank you, Daisuke." she smiled sweetly.
Celeste walked to her dorm room, a bored look upon her face." I am so bored. What is the point of living in a dorm and doing nothing? I can't even see my freaking parent's because they don't like too much publicity." she mumbled to herself, abandoning her school jacket, and putting it over her arm.
"Ooh! You're the new student! It's so strange to see a new student come on the middle of the year!" someone exclaimed in excitement from behind her.
Being known as the student that came in the middle of the year. Lovely, the raven haired girl thought sarcastically.
She turned around to face a blue haired, light purple eyed girl. She had on the Ashford school uniform, but her tie was nowhere to be seen. Her long blue hair was kept out and she had two braids hanging on each side, her bands slightly touched her eyes, but they short enough so she could see. Her skin was also slightly brown skin that made her eyes sparkle more than they already were.
The girl bounced up to her, which Celeste then realized the girl only reached to about her neck in height." My name is Harumi Anna Hyuga! You can call me Anna! And I'm fourteen"
"Nice to meet you, too. But," Celeste started slowly," You have a middle name... and you're Japanese." she pointed out, making the other girl pout.
"Did you really only stop at my name?" she asked, crossing her arms, a pout still on her face." But no worries, anyway!" her pout changed to a huge smile." I'm half-Britannian! My parents couldn't decide what to name me because, you know, my mother wanted me to have a Japanese name in honor of my father, but my father wanted me to have a Britannian one because my mother is a Britannian, and he loves her a lot. So, after I was born, they agreed that I would have a middle name, and it would be a Britannian one. So in the end, they both got what they wanted." she explained happily.
The raven haired teen raised an eyebrow."Okay..." she said slowly." See ya around." with that she turned on her heel, and continued walking down the halls to her dorm.
"Wait!" Anna yelled after her, a big grin on her face, realizing she hadn't gotten the girl's name." I didn't get your name!"
"It's Celeste." Celeste answered without turning around.
"Celeste what?" Anna questioned." You didn't give me your surname.
Celeste turned around, a smirk playing on her lips." I'm not telling."
Anna placed her hands on her hip, not happy with the new student's answer." Why?"
The golden eyed girl rolled her eyes, starting to get annoyed with this girl." Look, I rather people not know a lot about me, so I'm not saying a word. Also, I appreciate the fact that you want to get to know me, but I don't want to know you." she finished, turning back on her heel, leaving the blue haired girl in confusion.
"Artemis, where are you?" Celeste hissed, looking under her bed." You were in here when I left, so where did you disappear to? I offered to, and wanted to, bring you all the way from the country side of Japan, but do you have to disappear while I'm at school?"
A rapping at the door caught the teen's attention, causing her to raise an eyebrow. She stood up from the floor, and walked towards the door, opening it. A purr came from the floor, making her look down. She smirked, picking up the creature from the floor." You naughty cat. How did you get out of my room?"
The white cat purred, crawling around her owner's shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah. I forgive you." Celeste smiled, taking the cat off her shoulders, and sitting on her bed. She stroked Artemis' back, making the cat purr in contentment.
Her cellphone rang suddenly, making her jump a little. Picking up the cellphone, she read the called ID. " I don't think I'll answer this one. Dad can live without being paranoid, can't he, Artemis?" she smirked, pressing the decline button on her phone.
I know this chapter is completely different from the first version, but it's like that for a reason. I do hope you enjoyed it, though.
Read and Review! :)
