Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. If I did I would love to shop because of Dear old Alice.
t truly was the worst decision I have ever made. Me and my sisters had woken way earlier then the rest of the house and got the most un-fashionable cloths we had on. Of course, our favorite pixie had protested, but it was for our own good. Like I said, it would be way to weird to see ladies in fancy gowns walking down dirt roads. Though if we really wanted we could take a boat or the like.
The country ,er, countries are flourishing with the new machines that have helped. Of course our slaves still had there jobs and the like, but it made it easier on them.
Un-like most farms, our farm was very nice to slaves. We housed, fed, and took great care of them. I of course am very close to them as well. Especially Fiona, who had been bought to be a friend to me when I was smaller.
You see, where about the same age; which is 17 by the way. She has been close to me, but my sisters have been closer. If I would tell anyone about my running away, it would be her. And I did. Tell her I mean. I had run out of the house and tripped, several times. Im a klutz as well, have I ever told you that? No? Well, you don't want to know how many times I fall down in a day.
Anyway, back to the main topic, I stole away to the slaves housing looking for Fiona. I had always consoled her with my troubles, my worries. And she had listened, very intently. Not just because I was her master, but because I am her friend.
I knew she knew I viewed her this way to, and not as a slave. I don't see the slaves as workers. I think them and helpers so to speak. I went up to Fiona. She was rubbing her eyes sheepishly. She probably knew she had to go to sleep now to be able to work through tomorrow. All the Slaves had to work early.
I tapped on Fiona's shoulder and she looked at me, then realizing who it was, smiled. She started laughing at her self, then took my hand.
"Lady Isabella? What are you hear?", she ask, minding her manners in front of the other slaves. I knew deep down she wanted to call me 'Bella'. But as her position suggested, she wasn't allowed to.
"I want to tell you something, something you cant tell my father…", I said, leading her down the hall of the cabin (It was more of a cabin, more homely to.) We finally came to her room and I opened the door.
"Oh Bella!", she said, now that we where out of hearing reach. I put my hand on her shoulder and looked up to the ceiling.
"Fiona, im running away.", I said, not looking at her so she wouldn't see my guilty face. I wondered how she would take this news.
Fiona gasped. "Bella?! Are you running away with a boy? Are you pregnant?"
I finally look at her and glare. "No Fio! I am not, why would you think that?!"
She silently chuckled. I sigh, looking straight into her eyes. "Its because Papa wants us to move. Me, Alice, and Rose are running away to a confederate camp so they can be with there loves."
She looks at me sullen. "You'll find the man your destined for soon Bella. I know you will", she said, a smile quickly spreading across her chocolate colored face. Oh ya, did I mention Fiona can be psychic at times, well she can. It comes in handy.
"Thanks for the advise, Fiona…", I say quickly, scurrying out of the door and back into my house.
Ah yes, that happened last night by the way, now me and my annoying sisters (Yes, I know I called them annoying. You would to if you had to walk 8 hours in very hot heat)
I saw Alice trudging on, even though her spiky black hair was practically plastered to her forehead. Rose's hair on the other hand was still perfect. She is just like that, even I don't understand how she can keep her hair like that.
We have been walking for 2 hours now, and Alice and Rose say that we should be coming to the camp in a bit. I decide it time for some conversation.
"Uhm, well. Do you guys know what this camp is like?", I groan out. I have never walked this far before.
"Not really. Though I hear the north is better because they have all the US's money.", Alice said, Pixie like.
I just replied with a 'Hmm'. Alice turned to me, stopping. "I think you should find a man while where there. I mean, when else will be able to get you close to so many men with out you chickening out!"
I groaned once more. "Alice, I don't want to be with a Smelly Soldier! One minute they will be hear, the next they will be and battle and die!"
"Har-har Bella!", Alice mocked. I just silently chuckled, turning my attention to the road ahead of use. Ina bout 30 minutes we arrived to the camp. And all I can see is Hate, War, and love. (Well, hate for the north, War to the north, and Love between Major Jasper and Alice and Rose and he boy friend.)
A/N: Hm, I believe this one is longer. I like this one. Fiona is my own creation. Heh, I love Alice. She is my favorite Character next to Jasper. Im a fan girl, don't hate, 'kay?
