Mornings
Anna’s Pov
"Good morning Momo hope you slept well. ?" I rubbed her fur as i asked my gray furry ball cat Momo earning a soothing pur from her. .I got up since I was a morning person,as i stretched my tired limbs from yesterday's activities, helping my sisters carry their shopping bags,hopping from one shop to another so they could look for dresses and shoes for my coming of age and the royal ball held for every Princess who was coming of age..Today i would go to Mr Lois shop so that I could pick a nice dress for my self .gosh was i so tired from all the stress my sisters put me through ? but what can I say family comes first.. as I draged my lazy self,went into her bathroom and enjoyed a soothing bath as I reminisced on the things that happened throughout my miserable 17 years of being an" ugly Princess" that how my sisters liked to call me .Rebecca the eldest who was 25,Tinial who is the second was 23, Abury who is 21 ,Lita who is 19 and me Annesley who is the last misfit child who killed there precious mother during child bath as if she wasn't my mother ? ..ever since I was given birth to i was told I killed our mother because I am a cursed child, being bullied by my sisters and disliked by my own father because I am a constant reminder of how he lost his precious wife.. after three years of our mothers death our Father married our mothers Sister Elizabeth, she was the only person who didn't see me as the cursed child .all she did was show me love..
Enough of my pity party story I better get dressed before I miss breakfast.
I got out of the water, dried my body applied some ointment,dried by long straight red hair my sisters tried to cut and always teased me about .wearing a long pink flowery gown mother Elizabeth gave to me ,all my dress were from her she was the only person who genuinely cared for me and defened me anytime I was in trouble my sisters caused ,she said to always be kind to people even if the hurt you just be kind the goddess doesn't sleep she will punish the evil people. that's why am always kind to my sisters no matter the harsh words,the beatings and wicked things the do to me I endure them all one day I wouldn't be with them anymore ,I pray to the goddess to marry the man of my dreams and live far away ?..
After checking my self in the mirror I hurry downstairs ahhh a little reminder I do not have any maid or guards appointed to me Mother said she would talk to father so they would appoint one to me after my coming of age not that I mind besides I love the freedom ,not having to walk around with someone always following you like a ghost ewww creepy ?. .
Our Father being the King of the Sevenoaks land which was once a strong a strong Kingdom but due to his corrupt and injust ways of leading his people our Kingdom is falling apart soon another neighbouring Kingdom would seek allies so they could take over our lands and conquer. .Now father was looking for many alliance he could get so he could win the brewing war that was yet to come knocking at our doors ...
I got to the royal dinner hall ,I saw Lita and Abury eating their food as the chatted happily ,going to sit at my table I scoped some brown beansprouts and ginger bread and eat in silence avoiding the death glares I was receiving from my sisters. .
"My my the ugly duckling doesn't know how to acknowledge her elder say Lita why don't you teach her some manners" Abury said as she smiled wickedly. .
"Ahhh my dearest Sister you read my mind " Lita said as she got up picked up a jar of sour tea mixed it with chilly redner,walked striaght to me and emptied the hole thing on my head..
"Next time you know how to pay respect to your elders"Lita said as she walked over to Abury who was grining from ear to ear ... witches ?
They turned on their hills and left chattering like vultures of the North. .
All I ever wanted was for my own Sisters to treat me like I was one of them but all they ever did was hurt me,make me fill unloved and useless. ..
I got up as I wiped the horrible mixture off my face I would need another bath..
"Your highness why do you let them bully you?,you have every right to stand up and fight for yourself "Agatha one of the palace maids said to me as she helped me wipe away the dirt. .
"Thank you for this I will remember you for all the good deeds you have done for me " I said as I walked away to my room to avoid the emotions that I was feeling, hot tears streamed down my face as I rushed to my room i walked into the bathroom and slumped down as I wailed bitterly
why is my life like this?, why do I have to feel this pain?,why can't I fight for myself? ,how long do I have to endure?, I kept asking my self as i cried and cried till I was drained.. I finally had t he strength to stand up and change my clothes ,had a good bath making sure to wash my hair very well ,wore some new Cottenham gowns no more crying I still had to go to Mr Lois shop for my coming of age dress it's high time I stand up for myself and stop being the ugly duckling my sisters knew.
For i am Annesley Kinton the granddaughter of late Devon the demon slayer ..
