Rose's mother is pregnant with a baby boy.
Mary's name will be changed into Mara.
Rose is 14 while Mara is 18.
These are the most important facts for now, if you don't understand something in the story then please feel free to PM me and I will explain.

Greek Goddess Of Myths
It was a wet and rainy day like any at this point in the season; I walked through the streets as I glanced from shop to shop. They were either closed due to the weather or out of service for the time being, that was a depressing to think about as I walked on and on. It was my school break until next year and most of it would be spent doing what? Trying to get people to open their shops for service? Now that's disgraceful and shameful for a weekend to be like I thought as I passed through more people.
I watched out of the corner of my eye people being grumpy cause of the rain, I laughed to myself as I thought of what they might do if snow came around the corner. I walked over to a street filled with great shops and café's, I used to come here all the time with dad and I still do everyday after school. Usually I would sit in one of them while doing my homework, but today had been the last day at middle school. I couldn't believe that next year I would be in high school, oh how the years really passed quickly.
I spotted my favorite café to sit in when doing homework; I smiled as I went inside through the glass door of the small café. As I made my way over to my favorite table the waitress came over and sat down beside me, she was in university and she was working here to gain money to continue. She was medium height with shoulder long dirty-blond hair which she liked to run her hand through all the time, her eyes were a soft hazel and it matched her frame and her skin which was a light tan while her structure was a not-too-thin frame.
Her name was Hazel which matched her eyes perfectly; she smiled at me before running her hands through her hair…again. It wasn't that she felt nervous or anything it was her habit I guess or maybe her habit came because she had short hair who knows. I smiled back before taking off my red sweater and hanging it on the back of my chair, and then I took my pack-pack and placed it on the table. I pulled out my red-rose designed laptop before opening it; I hung my pack-pack back onto my chair before focusing on the laptop once more.
''so…high-school next year eh? Let me tell you that it won't be that hard, university is way harder.'' said Hazel with a shrug from her shoulder, I turned towards her and nodded knowing university was hard.
''yep, I know. How are you going along with university Hazel?'' I asked her, feeling curious as to how she was doing.
''fine, a little expensive but otherwise it's okay.'' she said while she eyed the café shop, she wasn't the only waiter/waitress but still she had to watch if any more customers came rather then the three already there including me.
''I hope you get luck on your side then Hazel, I would like to order something.'' I said looking at Hazel then back to my laptop.
''thanks Rose, you too.'' said Hazel with a smirk on her lips, then she added. ''sure thing, what is your order my highness?'' she asked sarcastically.
''I would like a medium sized cup of hot chocolate with almond cookies covered in frost icing'' I said making sure my order sounded specific.
Hazel grinned and with a 'cya' she went over to the counter and started preparing my order, I turned my attention towards my laptop once more before going to my email. There was five messages waiting to be answered, I sighed I opened up chat before choosing my best friend, Jenna McGrath. She was my best friend out of the five others because…it was just that way I guess, she had known me for the most time while the others got to know me at middle school, only Carolina could claim the same.
Jenna's message read;
MazeRunnerFreak3: Hey how are you doing Rose? Do you mind on going with me to the mall with Valera to pick out some new outfits? Thanks that would be cool!
I sighed tiredly as I began typing my answer before sending it.
LoveVSDeath: Sure thing Jenna, I'm sitting at my favorite café…again LOL. I know I should stop being so crazy about a café, but hey you can't help who you love now can you? *wink wink*
It only took Jenna a bit of seconds to answer me, when she did I smiled lightly.
MazeRunnerFreak3 : LoL, of course I won't stop you from falling in love with a café, but just warning you that it might one day be removed so be careful *laughs wickedly*.
LoveVSDeath: Hahahaha, funny answer Jenna. I have a question though, would you like to answer it for me?
MazeRunnerFreak3: Sure why not? By the way if this has anything to do with me being in love with Justin I swear that I don't.
LoveVSDeath: Nope nothing to do with Justin, you should already know that it's just a stupid rumor right?
MazeRunnerFreak3: I do, it's the other people who actually believe that crap is actually real, and so what is it you wanna ask?
LoveVSDeath: Where are you gonna go to this holiday? I mean I'm not going to the same thing probably, so I'm just curious LoL.
MazeRunnerFReak3 : Tell me about it, I'm going to be spending some time at my aunt's, then I'm going to a swimming club before some kinda camp, I know so many things to do*sighs*.
I shifted in my seat a little after the answer had come, I had expected Jenna to have some sort of free time but I guess not. Suddenly I noticed my hot chocolate had already been served, probably when typing to Jenna I thought as I thanks Hazel, she nodded with a smile before she began making something to someone else.
LoveVSDeath: Oh well bad luck, I guess I'm going to find out what the others sent to me huh? Have a nice day and holiday Jenna, and oh please keep in touch*does the phone sign*.
MazeRunnerFreak3: I know I know, I'll keep in touch every…minute or hour? LOL. Oh and bye Rose.
I closed our chat and opened up Carolina Woodland's chat, Carolina was a very trustable and shy friend to us. She always acted on her whim and that was based on her mood, lots of guys in our school don't like her attitude towards them. Carolina had also gone with me and Jenna to elementary school so we were close, I opened up and started reading her message it was as usual a Carolina message.
It read;
LadyWarmMilke3: Hey Rose, may I know where your going to be spending your weekend? It not that I want to be nosy it's just that…you know friends do that right?
LoveVSDeath: Of course! Oh by the way I don't even know where I'm going, I think I'm going to my uncle's house or visiting my relatives.
LadyWarmMilk3: That's nice, sadly enough though I'm going to be spending my time in camp, then with all of my family*sighs tiredly*.
LoveVSDeath: Sorry about that, I'm going to check out the other messages then get back to you okay?
LadyWarmMilk3: Sure!
I closed her chat as I ate some of my frost icing covered almond cookies; they tasted really good so I took my time as I ate them. I opened up Beatrice Forester's chat; Beatrice was a clever person and a very smart alley. As enemy she was just a nightmare so we felt lucky to be friends with her, I met her in grade six at a science project we had to do together, we've been friends ever since that time.
Her message read;
LadyAthenaNumber1: I just thought that we need to meet up before we leave; all of us need to meet somewhere. Do you have a place in mind?
LoveVSDeath: Uh…not really. Ask Jenna though she might know a spot for our last meeting till school starts.
LadyAthenaNumber1: Sure thing, gotta go talk to Jenna bye Rose and have a very nice day.
LoveVSDeath: You too, bye!
Then I moved onto my next message, Valera Vladimir who was a very style loving friend and person. She was beautiful of course and attracted lots of boys to our group; she had shining auburn hair with lovely blue eyes. Her skin was a butterscotch color that made her seem caramel made; her figure was always dressed in deep and fashionable clothes. She always dared us to wear things and would always help out if she saw someone didn't know what to wear, she encouraged us with wearing beautiful clothes that she called ''teenage girl clothes''.
Her message was long; this is what it read;
FashionIsLife3 : Hey Rose, I bought this new dress that's colored in blue like the hues of my eyes, do you think it would look nice on me when the school dance is on? You know in high-school they have a school dance too, so I want to use this color for the dance. I could also help you out with the color of your dress at the dance, if you tell me I'm not coming then I will have to bring you there. So what do you think Rose? Blue or my auburn colored one?
LoveVSDeath: The blue would be nice actually, have a nice day Valera!
She wasn't on so I went over to chat with Fiona Rain; Fiona was a very nice person with a lot of potential behind her doings. She had a determined personality and a very clever and kind mind filled with compassion, she never let a friend down in anything and always helped whenever she can. She liked gardening a lot and she always helped us plant anything we wanted, she was also gentle and warm with not only plants but to animals and people too.
Her chat message read;
SparkTheFireLove: Hello Rosy, I just wanted to tell you that even though it looks rainy outside it's going to storm. I'm not joking, I can read the signs of the weather and the news so get back home as fast as you can.
LoveVSDeath: Thanks Fiona, bye for now because I'm rushing to my home as fast as I can! Bye Fiona.
I closed my laptop and placed it into my pack-pack before placing my jacket on, I had finished my hot chocolate and frost icing almond cookies. I said goodbye to Hazel before opening my umbrella and waiting in front of the café's door, I plucked out my iphone before calling mothers' number. I waited for her to answer me, it didn't take long knowing how worried mom can actually get.
''yes Rose? What's going on?'' her voice sounded concerned.
''mom can you drive over to the café dad always takes me to? It urgent'' I add the last part feeling the truth of it.
''of course dear, I'm close anyway bye for now'' her voice sounded hurried and I can just imaging mother driving towards the café.
As it is I didn't have to wait for long because next moment mother's car stopped right in front of the small café, I opened the red car's door before fumbling inside with my pack-pack. I told her everything and she nodded because she probably watched the news, mother started driving so I decided to do something distracting for a while. I reopened my laptop before watching a few videos of funny acts and such, after a while I closed it and replaced it back into my pack-pack.
We all lived in a huge house/mansion that used to be a mansion for a rich guy, we are rich too so I guess that's why we own the house. The right side is covered by ivy and thorns with roses growing out of them, the right side is bare except for a few vines but other then that nothing else covers it. Our mansion is different shades of green on the outside while its natural green, red (rose drawn) and even vixen orange on the inside.
Our mansion has 18 rooms plus the kitchen and the three bathrooms; it's really big and can look like a haunted house at night and at Halloween. My mother's grandfather had given her the smallest mansion with Aunt Anna getting the biggest because of the eldest child priority; grandfather had owned these mansions because mom's family was rich and had gotten these from ancestors.
My room is colored bright natural green with ivy growing on all of the outer walls, there are thorns growing next to the window cell with roses growing out of them, which I must admit gave it a beautiful sight. My parents' room is colored all dark ivy green and it has thorns inside with roses growing from them, our house gives us the impression that we love nature which is kind of true. My sister's room colored bright orange with green roses drawn on the walls, it's really pretty.
Dad's family wasn't rich but father had worked really hard and so he'd made himself rich rather then be born that way, dad also had bought a big house(not as huge as mom's though) with 12 rooms and had used it for renting. So he would let teenagers who wanted a room while not paying much money as an apartment he housed them, they would pay money of course but not that much and he even paid some to clean the bathrooms and cook food.
It was really cute to know that dad housed teens in a 12 room plus the bathrooms and kitchen house, we visited the house sometimes and believe me it's pretty and wonderfully designed. It's also comfortable and cozy with warmth available, it had everything ready in it but teens brought their own stuff to fill in drawers and clothes. Mara even dated some of the boys there but said that her sappy boyfriend was better, I almost puked at the very thought of him.
When we finally stopped at our huge house that looked more like a mansion, we both got out of the car; I took out my extra key and opened the door before going inside. The house felt arm and inviting which was a huge change from the upcoming weather; I took off my shoes and went upstairs to change into something more comfortable. I also hung my jacket with my pack-pack before taking off my earlier clothes.
When I was ready I went back downstairs quickly, mother had changed too and was cooking something. I sat on the table and finding an apple I started munching on it, I noticed the remote on the coffee table so I zipped through different channels. Right then I herd the front door open up and there was my father with my older sister, they both went off to take their jackets off and wear something comfortable.
My sister Mara sat down next to me on the couch before taking the remote away; I sighed and got up not wanting anymore fights. When I reached my room I lay down for a while before I took a short nap, when I opened my eyes mother as calling me for dinner and so I made my way downstairs…again. When I finally reached the bathroom I washed my hands and face before going downstairs to an even lower part, finally I reached the dinner table and so I sat down.
We ate silently while mom and dad spoke to each other; I and Mara hardly even spoke during dinner. This was of course normal for both of us, our family didn't see wrong in being silent during dinner so we kept doing it. I twisted my fork in the middle of the tasty pasta covered in creamy red sauce with parmesan cheese, then I placed the fork into my mouth and tasting the great food as it went down my throat, I watched as everybody was eating or drinking before taking another bit.
When we were done dinner and finished putting our dishes away mom brought the desert, it was chocolate fudge cake covered in vanilla. Mother gave each one of us a piece before placing it back into the fridge, s we ate in silence father cleared his throat, when dad did this it meant he wanted our attention fixed on him or mom or even both. I turned towards them both while Mara simply focused on dad only, oh well she could do whatever she wanted even if it was going to cost her in the end(everything is with a price).
''so…Rose, Mara after tomorrow will be the day where me and your mother will pick how the rest of the summer will go, I expect you to know that so you don't make promises that you can't keep'' as he said this he eyed my sister with suspicion and she groaned.
''ugh, why? Living with Rose is torture enough, now I have to spend my holiday with Rose?! God I should've refused Rose to be born at all!'' she said with a groan and then a roll of her eyes towards my direction.
''what the hell?! Torture?! You wanna know about torture?! Well I'll tell you torture, torture is when you bring your stupid good-for-nothing boyfriend and party in the house, then he makes terrible corny jokes and gets drunk and what can you do? Exactly nothing, now that's torture!'' I yelled in annoyance, I was so sick of her and her attitude that I would've actually clogged her head down the toilet.
''girls stop this minute! You've got to grow up Mara, Rose isn't torture and Rose don't offend Mara's boyfriend Rose'' said my mother in a soothing voice.
''yah right, all I get is that my holiday won't be fun'' grumbled my sister as she left the dinning room to put away her plate.
''ha! I take it you wanna hang out with your brainless asshole boyfriend am I right?'' I asked, just because I wasn't whiny about stuff did not mean I was torture! Mara was brainless and stupid and that's what I'll treat her like if she wants to.
''just shut your big whole Rose!'' yelled my sister as she climbed upstairs towards her own room, I laughed and mother looked at me closely.
''why start trouble Rose? You guys should really stop it'' she said looking up at my retreating sister as she closed the door to her room.
''she started mom! It's not my fault she has to shut up, and she always says thing to me so why not say things back? It's the way it goes, a bully hits you and you hit them back'' I said with a smirk at the thought of Mara being a bully.
''at least try to ignore her Rose, she's slightly spoiled and were going to fix it, you making comebacks at her isn't helping Rose'' said my mother before she sighed a little at the situation.
''okay mother, I promise I'll at least try'' I said before giving her and dad a peck on the cheek, and then I made my way upstairs to where my room was.
When I reached my room I made my way towards my own personal library, I picked out a book and finding it about Antarctica I decided to read it later on. For now though I needed another short nap so I slept a little, when I woke up I decided to go down and see what mother and father were doing. So putting on my drawn rosebud covered house sneakers I slowly made my way downstairs, when I finally reached the living room I sneaked towards the couch.
Mom and dad were looking at our baby pictures with loving eyes, I felt bad for interrupting them but I needed to know where Mara was now. So I placed my hand on my mother's shoulder and she nodded, I smiled at her innocently while dad smiled up at me making his emerald green eye twinkle slightly. Mother turned around and then she pointed towards my face before she spoke, her voice sounded calm and collected as usual.
''what are you doing Rose? Would you like something dear?'' she asked as she smiled at my father and he back.
''yah I do, where is Mara? Had she gone out to that fat ass yet or she still here?'' my voice sounded refreshed due to taking a nap.
Mother sighed and pointed upstairs. ''no Rose she's still here, I think she playing some sort of game though'' then she gave me a kiss on the forehead before turning around once more.
I smiled at her before running upstairs towards Mara's room, but then I turned around to look at my mom's belly. It was huge due to the baby boy inside so mother acted unnaturally old, while she was usually very stylish and very energetic. It had been eight months and three weeks so we were expecting the baby after five days due to yesterday and today, I smiled at the very thought of a new brother rather then Mara.
When I reached the door to Mara's room I found it open, not wanting to intrude her privacy I knocked three times until she told me to enter. I saw that mother had been right Mara was playing a weird game, I sighed as I sat onto her bed while she continued playing. After a while Mara turned around for a cup of orange juice which was on her night stand, and then she returned to the game as if she might actually die if she didn't continue.
I sighed deeply before speaking. ''a new game I see, what's this one about now? Dragons and knights?''
She turned around only to answer me with eyes closed and face looking arrogant. ''this game is about Demons wanting to take over the world of angels, and you have to be the fallen and chosen hero who has to stop that from happening. Do you understand?''
I nodded. ''yep I do, but you know what? I'm sorry about earlier Mara''
She turned around looking down slightly before meeting my gaze. ''I'm sorry too Rose, I didn't mean it that bad but still I hate you''
I smiled slightly and she smiled back, then she returned back to the game while I watched her finish missions being sent to her by odd creatures. Mara was fast at this game and was the third highest person in the whole server; she had to keep that position lest someone take it away from her. Her goal was to be number one but he was too high so she settled for number three…for now, after finishing missions she turned around before standing up.
Then turning towards me she stretched on her tiptoes, and then she spoke. ''Rose you wanna read something interesting?''
I nodded and so she made her way towards her personal library, she came back minutes later with an odd purple book in her hand. Then she handed it to me before making her way next to me, I picked up the book and felt its soft cover under my hand. The picture in front of the book showed a raven taking off in a flight, the title was ''Raven's Quest'' and it only made me more interested in reading it.
I thanked my sister and she replied saying it was no problem; she then bade me good night before going back onto her game. I stopped at the door before changing my mind and walking towards my room, and then I placed the book onto my night stand before going back with the game monopoly in my right hand. I went inside my sister's room and asked her if she wanted to play with the whole family, she refused at first but then complied saying that her character was much higher then the forth so he wouldn't get her position.
We made our way downstairs where dad and mom were waiting for us; they looked as though they'd been talking when we arrived. I asked them if they wanted to play and they said sure, now that it was a family monopoly everyone got ready to win. Dad won the game easily with Mara following right behind him, me and mom kept switching position so I was last at time and she was last at times. Then we watched Titanic together before drinking a little tea, and then we bade each other goodnight before going to bed.
I went inside my room before dressing into my amber-colored nightdress; it had been a gift from grandmother to me long ago. As I waited to fall asleep I thought of what I might do tomorrow, then I sat up and looked out of the window at the shinning stars. Then I made a wish for our family to never separate and to always stay together, oh how ignorant I was to the fact that my wish will never come true.
So how did you like it? I've fixed grammar mistakes and added a few more facts.
