YOU NEED TO READ THIS BEFORE READING THE STORY!

Hey guys! I'm kind of back... well not really. So I have been working on The Tutor... it's not going good at all. I literally have two chapters left and I can barely get through one of them. So if anyone would like to help me out with that please feel free to message me! I really need all the help I can get.

This year, 2018, has been literal hell for me.

I have had the worst kind of betrayals from family, friends, work, and very close loved ones. I got into a car accident in the middle of July, completely totaled my grandfather's car (You know the one who passed away back in April) and I haven't been dealing with that loss very well. So an outcome of the car accident was the loss of my job that I actually loved very much and I was doing really good at it and I was getting ready to move up.

Some of you may have noticed that I have posted this story many times on here and have deleted it every single time I posted it. Well before when I posted it I only had like 5 chapters written out... now I have about 15 chapters written out and I plan to post a new chapter once a week.

This story and A Twist in the Story are literally my pride and joys because I have been working on them since 2009/2010 when I had first started writing and these two were my first stories I had ever written. So just a heads up, there might be some horrible grammar... I tried to fix it up as much as I could without wanting to just rewrite the entire thing like I am doing with A Twist in the Story.

Thank you all for your kind words in your reviews to The Tutor. I promise I will try to write more to it and post it as soon as possible. You all have been waiting very patiently and I really do need to update it soon.

But until then I hope you guys enjoy this story!

If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me! I always respond!

"Okay, I think this is tight enough." Serena managed to gasp through tight breaths. The corset that was being tied around her torso was causing her unbearable pain around her rib cage, making it hard for her to breathe.

Catzi began to loosen some of the strings when a firm hand grasped her shoulder, stopping her in the process and the voice sent chills down her spine. "Do not loosen those strings Catzi. The tighter that corset is the better. Serenity, darling, stop complaining it's not very lady like and remember chin up." Selene said as she brushed some of the bangs away from her daughter's eyes and then lightly pushed her chin up. The soft look on her face hardened as she took another look at the corset. "It needs to be tighter Catzi. And hurry up Serenity needs to be downstairs in 10 minutes for the party." Selene said coldly as she walked out the door.

Catzi held the strings in her hands, contemplating whether or not she really should tie the corset tighter.

"Catzi its fine, do what mother said." Serena said softly.

"Are you sure Miss Serenity?" Catzi questioned. She didn't want to get in trouble but she really didn't want Serena to get in trouble.

"I'm sure Catzi and please don't call me Serenity. We've gone over this before," Serena said and Catzi nodded her head as she made the corset tighter.

"Only call you Serenity when your mother's around. Serena when it's just you and me."

"Exactly," Serena agreed as she grabbed onto the edge of her bed to stable herself and keep herself standing up so she won't pass out.

"How long do you think you can last tonight? Do you want me to loosen it a little?" Catzi asked with concerned eyes.

"No, no, it's fine and either way mother will notice. I know when I feel like I'm about to pass out I need to sit down." Serena said with her hand on her abdomen.

Tonight was just like any other Saturday during the month of June, a ball. It was two weeks until Serena's 18th birthday and she was dreading the day it would come. Selene always loved parties and she would always find an excuse to celebrate. Two weeks ago the ball was for the first Saturday of the month. Next Saturday would be to celebrate that it would be her last week of being 17 and finally the last Saturday being her birthday. But today was the question of the celebration. Serena had asked Selene what the celebration was for, but she only shook her head saying "you have to wait and see."

Serena hated surprises, nothing good ever came out of them.

"Rena, we need to get you in your dress." Catzi said as she held a golden ball gown in her arms shuffling it around to get it ready to put on her. Serena smiled softly at the nickname. Catzi had come to work for them when Serena had turned 13, perfect timing, too, since she needed a friend she could talk to about anything. They became good friends immediately and Serena shared all of her secrets and worries about everything to Catzi, even political matters her father had discussed with her. Catzi had promised to keep them all nothing but a secret between the two of them.

Serena slipped into the gold ball gown that looked like it was pulled right out of the 18th century. Golden embroidery with lace trimmed edges, the dress was to die for but it was something Serena hated. It wasn't from this time period and her mother had chosen it. Plus Serena never liked dresses like this and she absolutely loathed balls.

Ever since Selene had gotten her hands on the old time movies about Marie Antoinette, George Washington, Louis XVI, and Queen Elizabeth, she's been copying their balls and clothing in a sort of way. Serena never enjoyed it and being the eldest of six children, her mother paid more attention to her and the way she would be presented.

After Serena had gotten the dress adjusted and fitted on her properly, Catzi handed her the matching shoes. Golden heels that looked so uncomfortable it made Serena's feet blister and bleed by just looking at them.

"No thanks, Catzi. I'm gonna wear my sneakers for this one. Remember last time?" Serena said as she rejected the beautiful shoes and Catzi laughed. Last weekend when Serena had worn those shoes, she tripped and fell numerous of times, but worse of all was when she twisted her left ankle. "And it's still swollen," Serena said as she lifted up the skirt of her dress just enough to show Catzi the badly bruised ankle and she put on black socks before she put on the black and white sneakers and laced them up.

"I think you may have sprained it, Serena." Catzi said.

"It hurts when I move around, but at least I can still walk. It'll heal itself in time." Serena said as she just shrugged it off and then went to sit at her vanity.

"Am I braiding your hair or are you doing your signature style?"

"Let's do the quickest up-do you can do. I really don't want to upset mother too much tonight, she'll already be mad that I don't plan on staying the entire night." Serena said as she sat down at the chair in front of her vanity as Catzi started braiding and twisting her hair into a beautiful up-do.

Five minutes later the hair was done, the make-up wasn't on, the dress was perfect—especially with her sneakers, and Serena was ready to walk out of her room and down to the ball room. As Serena made her way to her bedroom doors, she noticed she was walking alone.

"Catzi aren't you coming?" Serena questioned.

"No, Miss Selene wanted me to give Andrew his medicine and make sure he was alright during the party, since he would be stuck up in his room all night." Catzi said with a shrug.

"Okay, well I'll come visit him during the party so he knows he's not missing out on anything. I'll be there in about… 20 minutes?" Serena said and then turned to walk away but was stopped by Catzi's voice.

"What? NO! I-I, I mean you can't miss out on the ball. And you certainly don't want to upset your mother by missing out on it and only going for 20 minutes. It's like you're just going there to say 'goodnight' to her then going to bed. Rena you need to enjoy tonight and try to have fun." Catzi said as she put both hands on Serena's shoulders.

Serena looked at her for a moment then slowly nodded her head, "Okay, you're right. I'll try to enjoy tonight as much as I can. But once I get a little bored, I'm leaving." Serena said as she turned and walked away to the party.

Once Serena was out of view, Catzi reached into her pocket and pulled out a vial. Holding it up to eye level, an evil smirk spread onto her rosy lips.

"Just one more drink of this and he's good for the taking,"

Sliding the vial back into her pocket, Catzi made her way down the corridor to the wing where Andrew's bedroom was located.
