Chapter 1 (Intro)

I sit in my room just thinking about my life. I'm a princess. I live in a beautiful palace, my family is rich, and I am meant to be getting married in just a few months. 

Most people would love my life right? Except I don't, in fact I hate my life. My parents are too controlling. They want me to do everything there way. They want me to become who they want me to become, and that just so happens to be queen. They want me to run this palace soon, because my mother is ill and about to die.

We have been told she only has a few months left to live. Once my mother dies, my farther is resigning as king, and my new husband whom they have chosen for me will become the new king. 

Except what if that's just not me, what if I don't want to become a queen?

The thing is I don't think it matters much to them what I want. It's suposingly my destiny to become queen, I have a responsibility to the people. 

I just want a normal life, I want to work for my money, not have everything handed to me on a silver platter. I want to be a Vet. I want to help animals, that is my dream. As I love animals more then anything, sometimes I think there better than humans. 

Tomorrow I am going to meet my new husband, and my nerves are unbelievable. This is a big deal. I hope I like him, because I'm going to spend the rest of my life with this guy. 

I push all these thoughts away, and try to calm down, I'ts so late, and as much as i can't, im going to have to try to get some sleep. 

I get into bed, prepare for a lot of tossing and turning as I close my eyes waiting for sleep to come. 

The next morning as I hear my alarm go off, I manage to fall back to sleep. After all i hardly had any sleep, because today is the day I meet the guy I am meant to spend the rest of my life with. 

As I drift back off the sleep, my mothers annoying, whiny voice, yells at me to wake up. I jump in fright, as i hurry to get dressed for I know my mother is impatiently waiting for me downstairs. 

I quickly dress in my favorite pair of shorts, the white ones with the panda bear printed onto them. I then grab my white shirt and my green button down top. I know I probably won't get to wear this, as my mother will think its not very lady like. I give it a try anyway as I walk down stairs, after quickly brushing my hair, and leaving it down, a little messy just the way I like it. 

As I half ran down the stairs my mother shakes her head at me, looking very dissapointed. 

"How many times do I have to tell you Lydia, do not run down the stairs. You need to walk down the stairs with elegance and grace, and what in the world are you wearing." She looks at me as she scans my body up and down, I sigh heavily. 

"Oh no this wont do" she says giving her own sigh. "Did you even brush that hair of yours? and you know its better up in a bun, makes you look more mature, not that you are mature yet, in fact you are far from it. 

Oh and whats with those clothes and the shoes, princess's wear dresses, very pretty over the top dresses. We are taking you to dinner for goodness sake to meet your future husband. Make an effort child. 

Let's get you done up properly," she says walking towards the stairs, "do I have to do everything for you?"

I turn to follow her up the stairs, as I sigh to myself, this is going to be a long day.

Ohh my gosh Cimmy, I really like the story telling style you used in this novel chapter, is presented as fantasy and has all the metaphor elements of real life parents handing responsibility to the future husband of whom their daughter is to spend the rest of her life with, Inspirational and creative.

Seems a lot like a princess diaries..lol. I like that you have attempted fiction and you are considerably good at it. Frankly, this would be my first 'typical (classic)' novel i read and I'm looking forth to it. The part where she says why she wants to be a vet is best. Best of luck

[cimmy wuv xxxooo]

Im so glad you like it Penny. That art about why she wants to be a vet was easy to write because it has a little of me in this story :P
Thank you for your review hun:)

[Penny]

My pleasure as always.
