Chapter 2: A family reunion

Amber sighed as the flying coach approached Enchancia. She never thought that she would return to her home again, especially not to see her family... her family...

As she thought of her family... she thought of her father... And the more she thought about her father, the angrier he got.

Damn that man... She thought with rage. Damn him to Hell...

Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted as the coach made a rather rough landing right in front of the castle. The princess rubbed her head as she looked towards the entrance... standing there was her twin brother, stepsister, stepmother, and the castle steward. And she could tell, they all looked really happy to see her. Well... here goes nothing...

Amber carefully and quietly stepped out of the coached and walked towards her family. As she did, Sofia ran up to her and hugged her tightly. "Oh Amber! I'm so happy to see you!" She squealed. Amber grinned. "Yes... I'm happy to see you too, Sofia." After the hug, Amber got a good look at Sofia and noticed that she has changed a lot since she's been away.

Well, almost everything. For she noticed that Sofia was still wearing her Amulet of Avalor. The difference were that Sofia had grown taller, being thirteen after all, and her auburn brown hair had gotten longer as well. And plus, her dress looked a bit different as well, for it was decorated with flowers and diamonds. In short, Sofia looked as beautiful as ever, in Amber's opinion.

"Hey, Amber! Long time no see." Amber rolled her eyes when she heard her brother's voice. She looked at James and noticed that he has changed a bit too. For one thing, puberty has certainly caught up to him for his voice was deeper. And his hair had grown a bit longer also, plus hit attire is different as well. He wore a dark blue version of his usual outfit he wore when he was younger.

God... James looks so such like... like... Daddy... Amber thought.

And when she thought that.. well, she tried to get that thought out of her head. As she did, she was embraced in a hug by her stepmother. Queen Miranda had changed a lot. Her hair was longer and she looked more beautiful. Although, Amber could tell she was getting old really fast.

You may be loving... but you're not my mommy...

Of course she didn't want to tell her that, nor tell her that she was getting old. "Oh Amber. I'm so glad to see you again." Miranda whispered.

"It's great to see you too... Mother..." Amber replied, half-heartedly.

The queen smiled. "You came at a good time. Your father is just dying to see you... not literally... but he's under critical condition. His stroke affected him so much that he can barely walk or talk anymore." From the outside, Amber showed great concern. But in her mind, she was delighted.

So he can't walk to talk... good. Bastard deserved it.

Just then, she noticed the castle steward... or rather stewardess. She was a woman, about 20 years of age. Her long brown hair stood at her shoulders, and she wore an outfit similar to that of Baileywick's...

"Uh... where's Baileywick?" Amber asked.

Well, about that...

Everyone frowned, which confused Amber. What was going on? That's when Sofia explained, "Amber... Baileywick retired a year ago."

Now Amber caught that by surprise, but she figured as much seeing how old Baileywick has been getting. Though she felt a bit disappointed. Baileywick has been there when she and James were born. He has been there all their lives. And now... he's gone.

First my mother gets replaced, and now Baileywick?!

This was just unbelievable. But Amber just put on a smile. "I see... well, I understand. He was getting old, anyways."

James added this. "Yeah, so now Genevieve is our castle stewardess." He looked at Genevieve lovingly, which Amber noticed. You don't suppose... Of course, he has the hots for her. Typical James.

He never changes...

"But now... where's Daddy?" Amber asked, almost regretting that question.

"Oh he's resting in bed. Allow Genevieve to escort you to him." Miranda answered. So from there, the stewardess led the princess into the castle. Along the way, Genevieve spoke for the first time. "Your father is a noble man..."

Amber slowly nodded. While that was true, Amber didn't want to believe it... at all. Soon, Amber found herself in her father's room. In the bed, was King Roland II, sitting upright, and very silent. As soon as he saw his eldest child, he gave a faint smile.

"Amber.. You came back."

As much as Amber wanted to give her dad a cold look and insult him, she knew she couldn't do anything with someone else in their presences. But then Genevieve started to leave. "I'll leave you too alone to get caught up..." She said before shutting the door. Amber grinned at Genevieve, but as soon as she turned back to her father, her mood changed dramatically.

"Hello, Daddy..." She greeted in a dark tone, walking towards his bed. "Did you miss me?"

"Oh sweetie, you have no idea."

Amber glared. "Oh don't act like you care. I left Enchancia without any warning or note, and you couldn't even care enough to send guards out to search for me."

Hearing this shocked his father a lot. While it was true that he didn't send any guards, he did really miss her. But that wasn't all. Amber started a long rant.

"You know... I was a little sad when I left... I started to miss everyone... my friends... my family... but there was one person I didn't miss, and knew I wouldn't miss... and that was you..."

"Wh.. what... buy Amber... Why?!" The king was really shocked now.

"A long time ago, I was a little girl... with a king daddy... a twin brother... and a dead mommy. You never showed enough love to Mommy, so that's why she's dead. Because of you... you caused her to take her own life..."

"Wh.. what.. Why would you even think that?!"

"Because it's true!" Amber snarled, leaning towards her father menacingly. For the first time in his life, Roland was afraid of Amber. Especially with what she had to say next. "I was a little girl with dead mommy... I was a lost girl... a girl who had to choose her own path... you gave me another mother, and I'm grateful for that... but that bitch will never replace Mommy, no matter how kind and sweet she is..."

Roland could not believe he was hearing these words, coming from his own daughter. Amber then chuckled. "But now... I'm a grown woman with a dead Mommy... and I've changed..."

Without warning, Amber grabbed her father by the chin and then plugged his nose. "I like you in this position..." She whispered. That did it right there. After a few seconds, Amber let go as she said this last sentence... "I'm back, Daddy... and I'm the one with the power now..."

With that, the seventeen year old princess gave her father a kiss on the cheek, and then left the room after given him a dark glare.

Roland was shocked when he saw the cuts on Amber's arm. "Amber, what happened to you?" He asked. Amber snatched her arm away from him. "Oh don't act like you care!" She barked, turning away from him.

"But I do care. I was just asking what happened to you? You have cuts marks all over your arms."

Amber growled. "Shut it! I don't wanna hear it! I don't want you going around and telling everyone that you're eldest and biological daughter is a cutter and harming herself!"

"But I wasn't."

"STOP LYING!"

The king flinched a bit, but then remembered Amber's medicine. Had she taken it today? "Hold on, did you remember to take your medicine today?" Amber frowned darkly. "I am no longer taking those stupid pills! They are not help me! Medicine is suppose to help you, not turn you into zombies."

"But those pills are what's keeping you from destroying yourself!" Roland replied.

But Amber snapped. "YOU ARE WHAT'S DESTROYING ME! YOU ARE DESTROYING MY LIFE! JUST LIKE YOU DESTROYED MOMMY'S!"

With that, the princess stormed out of the room.

That was only five years ago. Amber sat at the table in the dining hall. She looked down at her arm. Apparently it still had those wounded scars from all those years ago. She covered the scars with her dress sleeve as she drunk some tea that Genevieve whipped up. She remained silent. Sofia and James had sat next to her, wanting to keep her company.

"Hey sis."

Amber sighed. "Hello, James. Sofia. What are you doing here?"

Sofia smiled. "Well, we saw you sitting here all alone and wanted to keep you busy. So... how has it been since you've left...?"

Hearing that question made Amber frown deeply. But she went ahead and said to them, "Well... it was... okay... I got a job as a waitress... got fired. I met Hildegard there and she told me about her engagement... I hooked up with Hugo... then dumped him... abut all in all, everything's gone very peachy."

She was being sarcastic and she knew it. And so did Sofia and James, but they just smiled. "Well, that's... interesting, Amber." Sofia told her older sister. "Since when did you even get a job?!" James asked.

"I needed the money." Amber said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Besides, I didn't work their that long. I screwed up so much, that my boss just fired me in the rudest way. I mean, he didn't even care that I was a princess."

Now that surprised the two right there, but Amber just sighed. "I never liked him anyway."

"Oh Amber..." Sofia spoke up. "I'm just glad your home with us... Dad really missed you." Upon the mentioning of that word, Amber growled under her breath, but it went unnoticed. Suddenly, Amber had a thought... a very... devious thought...

Something that her own father would never forget. Ever!

Oh my... Amber's got something devious planned for her father. But what is it? You'll have to see as the story goes on. So what do you think will happen later on? Tell me your predictions in a review. I'll see you guys later, and don't forget to review please. Thank you.
