Whoooo. Chapter 2. This ones got a bit of suspence and an introduction to new characters. C:
The next morning, Sophia woke up in her bed. Fully clothed. Lousy maids. They always do this, she thinks to herself. She sighed and hopped off of her bed. Oh well, what are you gonna do? There was a knock at the door. That's probably her now.
"Come in." Sophia called.
A maid with long brown hair and glasses walked in, giving a little curtsy. "G-Good morning, my lady." She said quietly. She was always so shy, and Sophia couldn't figure out why.
"Good morning, Claudia." Sophia said. Claudia jumped a little at this. She was always easy to scare like that.
Claudia picked out a light pink blouse with a darker pink ribbon, a pair of black shorts, black and white striped tights, and a black jacket. This was one of Sophia's favourite outfits, and Claudia knew it by heart.
She helped Sophia put it on, then pulled out knee high black boots with a heel on them, and buckles at the top. Sophia then walked over to the mirror. Her yellow eyes were gleaming back at her. She then picked up a pink headband that had a black hat with a pink ribbon around it and a rose on the left side, as if it was a seperate thing.
Sophia looked at her neck, where there was a mark. It looked like any old tattoo, but this one was special. She picked up a scarf to cover it up.
"Thanks you, Claudia. You can take your leave now." She said. Claudia jumped, literally. "O-Okay." She did another curtsy, then scurried off.
Sophia decided to sit in a chair by the window and read. Isaac should be in soon with breakfast, she thought.
A few moments, later, here comes Isaac. Or so Sophia thought. Instead, its a man with black hair and bright blue eyes.
"James, where's Isaac?" Sophia asked, a little dissapointed.
"Oh, he's busy with other matters." James said. "He told me serve you breakfast." He was grinning stupidly, like always.
Sophia's stomach dropped. James? If it was his cooking, she was doomed!
James moved the tray to where she could see. Sophia let out a sigh of relief. There was a plate piled with pancakes, eggs, and bacon. With some scones on the side, obviously.
None of it was burnt, which would have been the outcome had it been James doing the cooking.
"Thank you, James." He bowed and left the room.
Sophia began to eat. It was the best cooking anyone could hope for.
Once she was finished, she decided to head out to the garden. There were roses everywhere, beautiful. There were trees everywhere, and some of them were shaped as bunny heads... Wait, bunny heads?
Sophia's eyes widened. What was that gardener doing now? There were bunny heads everywhere! The bushes, the trees! Even the grass was mowed in the shape of a bunny!
"Rosa!" She yelled, obviously pissed off. "What are you doing!" She stomped off to where she heard singing.
Oh, hello my lady!" Rosa said cheerfully. She had light pink hair that was cut to her shoulders, and bright green eyes.
"Rosa, what's with all of the bunnies?" Sophia said, plastering a fake grin on her face. Rosa you cotton headed ninny muggins...
"I thought they looked cute!" Rosa said cheerfully. She was obviously more excited than Sophia was.
"Well I don't like them. Make them look normal, please." She rolled her eyes and walked off, leaving a teary eyed Rosa.
How did they even get to be her servants, anyways? Sophia thought, frowning. The only decent one is Isaac, though I would never admit it to him. Reaching the mansion, Sophia decided to catch up on her work. Two companies isn't an easy job for a twelve year old, but they're thriving currently, and have been since she became the head of the family.
She walked into her office. It had a desk at the end of the room by the window, with a plush chair behind it. There were papers neatly ordered on the desk. Most likely Isaac's doing. He was always so orderly like that.
Sophia sat in the chair and began signing papers and whatnot. It had to be the most boring thing she ever did in her entire life. But work was work, and she had accepted that. She sat there for quite some time. It was noon now, and she was starving. Luckily, she had finished the paperwork for everything that needed to be done. Take that, society. Who says a twelve year old can't accomplish this crap? She thought triumphantly.
Deciding to go get some food, she walked to the kitchen. There was James, putting something into a low cabinet. She frowned, dissapointed.
"James." Sophia said.
"OW-Yes, my lady?" He said, rubbing his head. Sophia had startled him, making him jump and hit his head on the top of the cabinet.
Sophia smirked. "Please don't tell me that you're doing the cooking?"
"What! I'm the cook in the mansion!" James bolted up and stared down Sophia.
"You're also my servant." That made him shrink down. "Where's Isaac?"
"Probably still running errands."
"Still?" He nodded.
"Well, bring my lunch up to my room whenever its ready." She walked off to her room, praying that the food will be edible.
Not soon after, James brought up lunch, which Sophia gratefully accepted. "What errands did he have to do, James?" Sophia asked before he left.
"I'm not sure. He just gave me instructions to follow." He said, bowing and taking his leave.
"Hmph." She sighed and sprawled across her bed. "It's so boring." Sophia rolled over to her side. "I wonder what I could do..."
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Sophia's head. "I'll play chess with each of them. See which one is the best at it, and who is the worst." This might be considered using them, but Sophia didn't really care. She was bored out of her mind, and had nothing else better to do.
Claudia ended up being the best at chess. Then James. Then Rosa. Pretty much how most people would think, except for Claudia is usually a shy mess that you wouldn't really think she would be the best at chess.
By now, it was time for dinner. James brought up her food once more, and Isaac was still nowhere to be found. This is when Sophia started to worry. It was making her paranoid as to what might have happened. He is an amazing butler, after all, he should be okay, right?
She sat there for a long time, pondering what might have happened. After a while, she got really sleepy, and called Claudia in to help her into her night clothes.
Sofia got under the covers of her bed and curled up into probably the tightest ball you would ever see.
A small tear ran down her face, and it stayed there, for she was too tired to wipe it away.
Isaac's POV
It's eleven at night, and Isaac is panicking. I'm so late Sophia's going to be worried, he thought. It was a special day tommorrow, and Isaac had to make preparations for it.
Sophia knew what the day was, right? Not like she'd forget?
At midnight, he made it back with super speed powers. The mansion was far from the city or any other living being besides maybe some animals.
All of the food that he left had been eaten. Hopefully James and Rosa didn't eat it... He thought.
Isaac sensed that there was something amiss. He dashed up to Sophia's room to find the blanket on the floor and pillows laying around the room. The window was open, with the curtains flying away from it.
It was true.
Sophia had been kidnapped.
Dun dun dunnnn. Suspense. Please review, if you're even reading this. ; w ; I work really hard on it.
