Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Buffy/Angel Characters! (Nor do I plan on profiting this story! This is clearly just for fun!)
Now that's all said and done, I would like to make a small statement regarding this story. The character I have made is clearly fictional. I know that Angel already had one sister and I already know that Spike was madly in love with Dru but this is my take if there was a separate sister in the mix. What would've happened if she and Spike had met before he was a vampire? What would've happened if Darla converting Angel was really his motive and it wasn't because he was drunk? Maybe there was a real reason why Spike and Angel had kept this woman a secret... Maybe there was a reason why they wanted to keep her completely hidden. I know I am twisting Joss' idea of what happened during his show but this is why it's a fiction of my own. I've been working really hard on this story and I hope that you all enjoy it! Also Reviews are greatly appreciated they really do help keep me motivated to continue on with this story. So now that's all out and such let's get on with the story! :)
Chapter 2 February 20th 1766 (Sára's Pov)
It was a cool February day and I knew that I had to go get mother's clothing prepared for the day. Since I could remember my mother has always been very cold with me. She always tells me that I don't try hard enough and that no man would ever want me if I carry this type of attitude. However, my father was a good man…
He always treated me well even though he gave Catharine more attention then I, but I knew that he always cared about me. Though I hated seeing the way he treated Liam, he was always very short and very angry with my older brother and there were days were Liam would disappear and not show up for weeks. I hated those days, those days were my most loneliest and I hated having my only friend and confidant leave me for those long periods of times.
Today however is Liam's 26th birthday and I had made him a new sweater for the cold days that he goes down to the docks to work. I beg him all the time to let me go with him but he always tells me that the docks are not a place for a lady to her presence with. I knew he was just being protective but I wish he'd let me do more things. He's known how much I love ships, since he and I would sit on the hill to watch them go by to their newest and latest adventures.
There are days where I wish I can go on an adventure somewhere new and exciting maybe to Egypt or go to Rome or even the Americas, but I knew that I'm stuck here unless whoever dares to want to marry me would take me to such places. Liam has always been the closest person to me in this family, he always has taken care of me, since father always worked and mother had her friends that she always had to entertain.
Catharine on the other hand always has gotten me in trouble no matter what I did or said. I don't know why she hates me, I mean yes I have noticed the attention I have gotten from young men when I have grown but I try to stay quiet and reserved when ever I go out with her, so she can be more noticed. It's not my fault if they still look, but it never mattered she'd still get angry at me and tell me not to even bother cause no man will ever want me.
There are days when I did believe her, even though Liam had always told me not to pay any mind to her and that she's just jealous that I am more beautiful then she is. I knew that he lying to me to make me feel better. However, there were times where it did feel good to hear something so kind come from someone you trust.
My father had never paid me compliments. He was just like a cold stone with warmth at times and my mother never paid me a second thought to even care about my feelings. But I had always wondered why did they treat Catharine so much better than me? I used to cry over this all the time but I just realized that maybe there is something wrong with me. I never thought, I always knew because why else would they treat me this way?
(Back to Normal POV)
As Sára ran around the kitchen to make Liam's cake for his birthday Catharine had caught notice of this and ran in through the door and purposefully smashed into Sára who had Liam's cake smash right into her dress. As soon as Sára realized what had happened Catharine just sat there with a sadistic smirk on her face and said.
"Oh well you should've been more careful dear sister, but I couldn't expect that much from a worthless wench like yourself!" She said laughingly and ran out of the room.
With tears in her eyes Sára just fell down to the floor, crying because her beautiful cake was ruined. She then suddenly heard the kitchen door open and thought it was her father. "God how am I going to explain this I'll definitely get a good yelling for this!" She said quietly to herself as she tried to gather herself up quickly and come up with a good explanation why the kitchen was a mess. Suddenly the figure came into a more clearer view and she was able to make out that figure was indeed her brother. Liam knelt down next to his sister and asked her what was the matter and what had happened here?
"I, I, I, tried ttoo mmmake yyou a ccake ffor your bbirthday" She said while she was sobbing and proceeded on telling him how Catharine ran into the room and practically smashed the cake onto her dress and onto the floor. Liam being the good brother he was just smiled at her and said in an amused tone.
"You made me a cake for my birthday?"
Sára just sat there with her head bowed and just nodded, while Liam was just so happy that someone took the time to think of him. He then started to laugh and hugged his sister to him, his crooked grin still on his lips. "Shhh Sára don't you cry now, I'm sure that you have made a beautiful cake. Thank you so much for thinking of me this is the greatest gift anyone could ever have given me." Sára couldn't believe her ears. How could this be the greatest gift she had have ever given him? Her cake was ruined all because of that stupid cow! She was enraged, she wanted to smack Catharine so hard across the face for what she did but Liam just sat there with the most goofiest grin she had ever seen and just laughed.
"Well I suppose if you think my ruined cake is a wonderful gift I wonder what you'll think of the gift I have made for you."
She retorted, seeing his beaming face become serious while she just finished mentioning his present. "Sára you didn't have to make me or give me anything you know that you just caring enough to think of me is enough." He then saw her roll her eyes and just sighed, moving his hands animatedly and he did so.
"Fine let me see what you have made for me."
Sára then suddenly had a big smile on her face and ran out to go retrieve his gift while he moved himself from the floor to the table. Sára plopped herself right next to him and told him to open the box. As soon as he did she saw the look on his face which told her immediately that he loved it.
"Sára you didn't have to make this for me!"
He said with tear's practically rolling down his cheeks. Sára just rolled her eyes and said "Of course I do! You're my brother and you need something to keep you warm while you are working. I don't want the cold to be the death of you." She said sincerely, suddenly their father had walked into the kitchen and automatically saw the mess on the floor. He first looked at me and then to Liam and automatically started to yell. "What's the meaning of this!?" Sára hastily told him how she was making a cake and Catharine slammed the door into me but she was suddenly cut off with a smack across her face.
"You go clean this up you worthless wench or I will show you the true meaning of pain!"
He growled, Sára looked at him in complete shock but then sat up and slowly walked to the mess and began clean it. Liam on the other hand got up and pulled their father in the other room. Sára listened to them argue about her like they always did. It was always an ongoing battle between the two of them and like she had always said
"I knew I was worthless…"
She said sadly to herself but even though she has had put with a lot this had to of been the first time her father had ever struck her. And even though she didn't want to she began to think that maybe this was a turn for a more brutal beginning… She just guessed that she'll just have to wait and see.
Well this is the first chapter of the beginning. I'm trying to start out when Liam was really young and bring out his pov to what happened when Sára was born. The next chapter will show her to be a little more grown up and how she relates to Liam (AKA: Angel) and the rest of her family. I hope you all had enjoyed the first chapter and I promise there is more to come! Till then Please Review! Like i said earlier they are greatly appreciated and help motivate me to continue on! :)
