The Cliché Romance

Chapter 5

Avril was running through the forest. Darkness surrounded her as she heard the cries of the Balverines ringing throughout the trees. Avril was terrified as she ran. But it seemed that no matter how fast she ran, they would always catch up to her.

Avril finally ran into a dead end, she desperately tried to find a way out. But when she turned back around she was surrounded by several Balverines. The tallest of them was the white one standing in the center. He slowly approached her until he lunged.'

Avril woke up in a cold sweat. She looked around the room, trying to slow her breathing down. Once she realized where she was she buried her head in her hands. Avril sighed as she looked back around, but she noticed something- her school bag was on the ground next to her bed. She looked at it wide-eyed. 'I thought I left this at Page's hideout' she thought to herself.

She leaned down to pick it up, and opened to find all her belongings inside. Her art project, phone, sketch pad, and pencils. Avril opened a flap and pulled out a locket. Inside was a picture of her mother. She heard a knock at the door, just before it opened. When she looked, she saw it was Barry.

"Goodmoaning, Miss Avwil. I have yow clothes pressed and cleaned. Once you aww dwessed, Mastah Weavah weqwests that you meet him in the diningwoom." Barry hung her uniform next to the door and closed it behind him when he left. It was a simple maid outfit, nothing too fancy. Avril sighed as she approached the dress. This what not what she had in mind when it came to being in the Fable universe. Though she would hate to imagine how Reaver would act if he knew how popular he actually was in her world. She got a headache just thinking about it. And as usual her mind started wondering to other then her mind went to a terrifying conclusion; If she is able to go to the world of Fable, does that mean that they could come to her world? 'This made her want to leave immediately and never come back. Being around her favorite characters was great and all, but there is always a down side.

Avril shook her head and began to change into her uniform. It was a simple little dress, deep purple with a white frilly apron. The sleeves were poofy and she had Reaver Industries cuff links."Oh my God!" she said. " How conceited IS he?" She chuckled to herself. She walked to the mirror and looked at herself to make sure she was presentable. She groaned as she looked at the short poofy shirt. It had a layer of white lace that peaked out from under the dominant fabric. She wore black thigh-high stockings that had a elegant lace pattern at the top, completed with black shoes that resembled the wedge heel. She found it rather odd that eveything fit perfectly.

"Miss Avwil are you weady? Mastah Weavah is waiting." Barry's interruption made Avril jump.

"A-Ah yes. I'm ready." Barry opened the door." Sorry I took so long. I just wanted to make sure everything looked alright."

Once he walked in, he saw her standing there in the uniform. Barry looked at her wide-eyed and smirked. "You look wandiant, my dear. Mastah Weavah will definitely be pweased." Avril covered her mouth trying to hide a smile."Is something wong?" He asked her. Avril just laughed a bit which made Barry look at her confused.

"I'm sorry." she laughed."I just think your speech is adorable." She smiled at him sweetly. Barry was thrown off by her comment, and blushed deeply.

"Oh, um...well. Thank you, I guess. No one has evah said that to me befou." Avril smiled and walked up to him.

"Well we better not keep Reaver waiting. Please lead the way." Barry nodded and escorted Avril to the Dining room where Reaver was found eating breakfast.

"Ah, look at my bright and beautiful Iris!" Reaver said loudly from across the large room. Avril glared a bit. ' Did he call me a rat yesterday?' she thought. She leaned over to Barry and whispered.

"I assume he means you." Barry looked over at her trying to hold back a laugh.

"You bettah go see him, I have duties to attend to but if you need help with anything I will be awound." Barry turned and bowed to her and Reaver and walked out of the room. Avril turned back to face Reaver who was still eating his breakfast.

"Dont be shy, my sweat! Come sit with me!" He motioned with his hands to come sit with him. Avril got a bit nervous as she approached him. She sat down next to him and noticed he still had his trademark smile on that smug face of his. She forced a smile.

"Now that you are here, I will be going over some rules." Reaver smiled.

'Here it comes...' Avril thought to herself.

"#1-No complaining, I do hate complaining. #2- Never go into my room without my permission. Most of the time I will be occupied." Reaver winked at Avril and continued."#3-You are to come straight here if I summon you, or you will be severely punished. And #4 If I tell you to do something, you will do it without question." Reaver took a sip of tea and looked back over to Avril. "Do I make myself clear?"

Avril glared at him, she had a good idea of what he meant by 'do everything I tell you'. "Yes...'Master' Reaver." she said bitterly. She felt degraded having to call him that.

"Splendid! As long as you follow those rules, and any others that I come up with, everything will be fine!"Reaver laughed as he finished off his tea and stood up. "Now if you don't mind, my dear. I have some appointments that must be attended to in the city. Tatty bye!"

Avril watched him leave. She stood up and gathered his breakfast, taking the dirty dishes to the kitchen. She looked around everywhere and saw confetti from last night's party still throughout the mansion. Avril put the dirty dishes away and walked back into the main lobby, and there she saw Barry. "Barry!"

He turned and looked at her."Oh, Miss Avwil. Just in time. I have a job fou your." Avril looked at him curious. He handed her a huge bag, which reminded her of one of those giant Hefty brand trash bags. "We need to get wid of all this confetti. You should stawt hewe and through the dining woom and into the entahtainment woom."

Avril looked at him like he was crazy. "How am I supposed to do this by myself?" Barry smirked at her.

"You can do it, unless you would wather have me tell Mastah Weavah that you wefuse to do yw duties." Avril glared at Barry who was grinning. She turned and went to the piano, near the entrance, and start picking up the confetti. Barry just chuckled and walked away.

"I can't believe this..." she stated. Suddenly she felt something wet at her finger tips. She looked down and looked in the midst of confetti and too her dismay she discovered a used condom. Her eyes shot opened and she screamed loudly. This was not going to be a good day.
