Amber looked over at Ms. Mauvais, who was very pacing the room back and fourth and muttering things on her phone.
Amber slouched down in her chair and stared at the golden chandelier on the ceiling, wondering when she would finally be able to meet the Skelton Sisters again. That was the main reason she was here, anyways.
But whenever she mentioned the celeb twins, Ms. Mauvais would get weird. Why? She had no freaking clue. Ms. Mauvais put her phone down on the bronze colored table, and she looked over at Amber, still slouched in her chair.
"Proper girls don't slouch, Amber," she said sternly.
Irritated, Amber slouched down even more.
"You're not the boss of me!" she cried, almost like a two year old.
Ms. Mauvais looked startled.
"As long as you live under this roof, you will do as I say!" she hissed, punching her gloved fist on the table. Amber, taken aback my her sudden burst of anger, immediately sat up.
She was scared, and almost regretted ever coming here. Sure, meeting the Skelton Sisters sounded great. But not like this. Not here. She needed to escape, and she needed to do it soon.
"...leave!"
Amber came out of her thoughts and back into the Midnight Sun.
"Hmm?"
"I said, 'If you're not going to follow my orders, you can just leave!'"
And she would. Tonight.
But she knew if she ever came back to her mother and father, they would be furious. They would ground her for life for running away from them. Nobody at school would talk to her, because she would technically be the new girl.
It was better than this place though. Ms. Mauvais was one thousand times worse than being grounded for life. It was like she was grounded for life here. She had to leave.
"See 'ya!" Amber waved, picking up her purse. Ms. Mauvais came running towards the doors.
"Wait! You can't leave me! I need you!" she screamed, a look of fear creeping onto her face.
"But you just said-"
"I didn't mean it! Amber, please! I don't have Dr. L anymore!"
"Find someone else to be your slave," she remarked, and she pushed Ms. Mauvais out of the way.
Before she could get her hands on the door, Ms. Mauvais arms came shooting down at her, and she grabbed her tightly.
"Ow! Stop! You're hurting me!" Amber whined, wriggling to get out of her grasp.
"Go to school, Amber. Do what you want. But we're going to make a deal, okay?"
Amber nodded her head, squeezing her eyes from the pain as her fingernails dug into her sides. She almost couldn't breath.
" Good," she cooed."You will get me the secret from Cass by the end of this month, otherwise I will send my people after you, and you will be sent to live at the Midnight Sun Spa forever."
"No!" Amber chocked.
"Yes. Now get out of my sight."
She let go of Amber, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Her sides hurt from being squeezed, and there was a purple bruze mark on her arm. She took a shuddery breath in, and she pushed the doors open to only her temporary freedom.
I know, I know, that was short. But I will be writing longer chapters. It's just nobody ever reviews, and so I kinda think nobody really cares about this story. So in other words, make my day and review! :) 3 :D
