Chapter one: The Beginning.
I lay awake this one particular morning, lying on my stomach, hands under my chin, staring at nothing in particular, just thinking. I look over at the bed next to me on my left, Tessa or Tessi as a nickname is soundly sleeping, she's my twin sister. We use to look a like until she colored her hair bright red, mine is still the natural color black. And that's how I intend to keep it. I look over to my right to see my other sister…Elizabeth. We were not twins; she was a year younger then Tessi and I. Though sometimes she comes off as a little five year old when she doesn't get what she wants. I think she's a princess with a stick up her ass. That's just my thoughts on it…well mine and Tessi's.
I roll over on my back staring at the ceiling, I couldn't sleep and besides I'd have to be awake in five minutes, we had exams today before we graduated. Seventeen years of my dad favoring Elizabeth over Tessi and I. Seventeen years of listening to her whining. Seventeen years of hell. And in two weeks Tessi and I would be moving out and away from Elizabeth. Maybe it's because she's the baby of the family she deserves more attention. I don't feel I fit in anywhere. I was proud when I came home with a C two weeks ago, dad wasn't. It was the same old thing he did every time I came home with my personal best work, "That's not good enough," Or "Be like Elizabeth, she gets A's!"
Yes, Elizabeth does get A's, that's because she cheats. Tessi she usually gets A's or B's but that's because she's good at school. I have had trouble with school from the start and Tessi being a good sister has helped me study and I went up from a shameful 'F' to a good C. I was so proud that I had done so much better thanks to my sister but it wasn't good enough for dad. Maybe it was because he was a Governor and me being the only Swann sister not to have a good grade made him look bad. It's not my fault, it's not like I don't try. I may sound like it's all about me, but it's not. Tessi feels the same way, well not about school but about fitting in and fighting for dad's attention. It was horrible. It was better when our Mom was around.
I hear she divorced him after Elizabeth was born, fighting for us but lost the fight in court. I'm not sure, it's not like she has ever tried to find us or visit us.
"Awake already Misty?" I hear Tessi say, I look over to see, Tessi yawning and sitting up.
"Yes, just thinking." I say sighing as I sit up as well, I hear Tessi sigh.
"Misty we're moving out in two weeks, all this behind us. Just forget about it. So he didn't approve of the C, did you do your best?" Tessi said, guessing at what I was thinking and she was damn good at it.
I shrugged. "Yeah." I stood up and walked to the dresser drawer, sifting through Elizabeth's clothes. I hated having to share a room clothes all in one drawer, three beds make the room smaller and having to listen to Elizabeth and her, weird noises as she moves around violently. I found a blue tube top, jean skirt and black heels to wear to school that day. I go to the bathroom that was straight across from Tessi's bed. I throw the clothes down and get into the shower singing along to the radio I had on the messy counter top. Truth was Dad had kicked us all out into a pool house to live in oh the joy. Wasn't too bad because it kind of gave us independence.
"Would you stop that awful racket!" I hear Elizabeth scold, turning off the radio, I sigh and get out wrapping myself in a towel and grabbing my clothes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to annoy you your highness." I say mock bowing and walking out to a grinning Tessi.
"Nice." She said running into the bathroom and jumping into the shower before Elizabeth could finish taking out all the bobby pins in her hair, to keep it prim and perfect. I roll my eyes, she was a cheerleader, and had her 'posse' who were just as mean. But it made me laugh, they'd walk past put their nose in the air, flip their hair and walk off, hands extended you ask me it looks gay.
I quickly dress and walk over to a small vanity near Elizabeth's bed, I shake my head as I pull off the dirty clothes on the mirror; I sit down at a small stool and look at myself. My hair had somewhat dried but it looked like crap.
I brush through my hair quickly as Tessi comes out hopping around to get into her jeans, she grabs a few bracelets throws them on runs through her hair with a comb and gabs her backpack. She looks down and finds she forgot her shirt, she grabs a shirt that says, "Who wants to be on cloud nine, the parties on cloud ten" She picks back up her backpack and looks at me.
"Ready Misty?" Tessi says in her usually chirpy mood, I sigh and get up grabbing my backpack and lugging it along, Elizabeth trailing behind as we went outside through the pool area and into the main part of the house to see dad drinking his morning tea, then in the afternoon there would be noon tea and we can't forget tea before bed. 'Must be something in our culture.' I think to myself, we lived in London England and you'd think I would be use to the rainy days but I wasn't, I look out the window and groan.
"Raining again?" I ask glumly.
"Misty what do you think you just looked outside!" Dad said returning to his paper.
"It was a rhetorical question." I mumbled, Elizabeth grinned.
"Daddy," Elizabeth began, "Can I have a new dress for the dance at school?" She asked overly sweet. I grabbed an apple and rolled my eyes and made my way to the door hearing, "Sure darling."
Tessi and I walk the cold rainy streets to school, I am now mostly over the whole Elizabeth is best thing and try and move on.
"She's such a bitch." I hear Tessi mutter.
"I know what are we suppose to do about it?" I say throwing the old apple core in a trash can near by.
Tessi shrugs, "I don't know. These two weeks will be the longest two weeks of our lives." She says, groaning.
"I know, but hey, we've lasted seventeen years I think we can last two weeks. Sides, I'm here with you." I say throwing my arm over her shoulder, she laughs as we walk up the school steps, we look behind as Elizabeth pulls up in the car with Dad.
"Why don't we ever take the car with Elizabeth, not like he said we couldn't." I say.
"Dude, because, we spend as much time away from Elizabeth as possible." Tessi says dragging me up the steps inside the school. We were soaking wet, and I was cold, I wrap my arms around my body as we walk to our lockers. I grab my books for school. Then I put them back remembering all the classes today were our final exams with Ms. Stegeror as most of the kids called her, "Stegersaurus" She would be not only testing us on math but everything. I had been studying for this final exam for months and I was a bit nervous.
"Oh Candice you look absolutely stunning in that outfit!" I hear Elizabeth squeal.
"Oh God help me!" I say looking upwards, Tessa pats my shoulder.
"Two weeks Misty, Two weeks." She said as we made our way to our class, which went relatively fast, it wasn't too bad with Ms. Steger, it didn't change the fact I hated school and I hated this bloody test. I look over at Charlotte who seems to be trying to pass me a note, she wasn't a friend more like a mean girl but what the hell? I grab the note and read it over.
Missy, It starts, I roll my eyes doesn't even know my name.
Can I have your answers?
-Charlotte
I look over and glare at her. "No." I whisper.
"Misty, keep your eyes on your own paper!" I hear Steger scold, I straighten up.
"Yes, Ms. Steger." I say nodding and picking up my pen glaring at Charlotte who grins. We soon get out of the test soon being how many hours later. Tessi and I make our way home and it's still raining. 'Oh Joy.' I think dryly. This time we run home rather then walk, as soon as we all get in, Elizabeth, Dad, Tessi and I we hear a loud crack of thunder and lightning spree across the sky and all the lights go out.
"Just a circuit or something." Dad replied trying to reassure us. I shrug not really afraid of storms as Elizabeth yelps.
"Oh Elizabeth, it's just a storm." Tessi snaps, I could have sworn I saw dad glare at us through the dark. Soon, a tree falls through the window breaking it, we were right near the window as it did and at the same time lightning struck and hit us all except our Dad who was not even close to the window. I felt…warm.
17th century…
"Calm down Elizabeth it's nothing more then a storm." Elizabeth's Father assures her, and her two sisters, Tessi and Misty.
"Girls you shouldn't be by the window!" The maid replied as something broke through the glass, and striking the girls with lightning, they flashed with light for a few moments before becoming visible again, the maid ran up to them.
"Are you alright!" She shrieked terrified, Tessi looked over at the maid and raised an eyebrow.
"Who the hell are you and why am I in these weird clothes?" She asked looking over at Misty, Elizabeth and their Dad.
"Why, you're a Swann and its only proper ladies wear a dress. Are you feeling alright?" The maid asked again.
"Is this a joke?" Misty asked.
"I assure you miss, Tis no Joke." The maid said smiling.
"Maybe you should lay down for a spell. Tomorrow's a big day Norrington is to become Commodore Norrington." The maid said looking over at the Governor.
"Yes it is, Estrella." He said smiling, their father looked older and now had a wig, and he looked much older. He wasn't their Father. The maid now known as Estrella led Tessi, Elizabeth and Misty up the stairs for a rest, Misty looked over at Tessi.
"This is a dream right?" She asked, Tessi looked at her sister with fear.
"I'm not sure." She said as they made their way to the rooms, Tessi and Misty had one of their own. Another maid grabbed Elizabeth and whisked her away, Elizabeth in shock remained quiet as Tessi and Misty laid down in bed willingly, thinking and hoping it was just a dream.
"Have a good rest girls." The maid said blowing out the candle filling the room with total darkness, the maid shut the door and Misty spoke up.
"I'm scared." Misty whispered, feeling her voice shake, it was scary all of a sudden being pulled away from a life, you always knew.
"Me too, let's go to sleep maybe we'll wake up and this will all be a dream." Misty could hear Tessi roll over and Misty soon did the same drifting off, she had to admit the bed was as soft as a pillow.
A/N: It maybe a little confusing but it will become more clear in later chapters…I hope please review! Thanks!
