A Future Laced in Gold
Chapter 1
“Do I really have to sit here for much longer?” I asked my sister before the next person approached us.
“It’s only a little longer.” She assured me before turning away. I sighed looking out the window and saw just a shimmer of light before my attention was again drawn to the present time, in the dark, dank and musty chamber.
Another hour later, I was finally able to break free of my dark prison of a chamber. I ran as fast as I could to the nearest outside door, threw it open and began basking in the day’s golden sun.
Do you really have to run that fast? It is so un-lady like of you.” Oh, but I didn’t care, I watched as the sun glinted of my dress and how warm my face felt when the sun was on it.
“You cannot tell me that this is not wonderful!” I shouted to her from across the courtyard.
“But, don’t you think we should be taking care of all business before we come out here and play?”
“Oh! Let the advisors take care of it for a little while. You need to learn the relax and stop for a little while.” I picked up my dress, ran over the farthest wall and seated myself in the space between the wall high points.
“Come! Sit down.” I say as I pat the spot next to me.
“But…it’s so dirty!”
Just stop and learn to live a little.” Finally after a few minutes of carefully cleaning with her hand, she sat down and joined me.
“There! Was that really so hard?” I asked her sarcastically.
“Don’t make fun of me!” She said, laughing and slightly smacking my hand.
We both stop for a moment and look out across the broad landscape. I see other people, animals, homes, businesses, all going about another busy day. I continue to stare for a few more minutes, and then I slowly take a deep breath and looked at my sister, who was still staring at the landscape.
“ It’s beautiful isn’t it?”
“Ya…” she responded slowly still looking out.
“Hey, do you remember when I first came here?” She stops and looks straight at me. Then with a sarcastic voice she responds, “you mean when you were first forced to come here? And by the armed guards no less…”
“Hey! I am trying to be serious here! Do you, or don’t you remember it?”
“Well of course I remember it!” She responded with a straight and serious face.
“That’s good, cause if you hadn’t I would have to hurt you!” I looked at her and made fists with my white glove covered hands.
“ Oh but you wouldn’t hurt little old me!” she says throwing her hand to her head in a most dramatic way.” Whatever shall I do?” We both stop and stare at each other for only a few seconds, then suddenly we both burst out laughing and have trouble containing ourselves for the next few minutes.
“Oh! That was fun!” I say of the joke.
“But seriously, it seems just like yesterday, that I was brought here…” She again looks straight at me and says,
“I know it really doesn’t seem like that long ago. But it reality it ahs been 5 years.”
“5 years! Geeze! Now I start feeling really old!”
“Ha-ha! You should, you’re the older sister after all!”
“Ya and the 5 year mark lands on my birthday. That’s cause that night, my only friend at the time wanted to take me out to celebrate my becoming a woman…even if it was only a woman of 16!” My sister seemed then to go off into a dreamy state.
“It was a warm autumn afternoon, and I remember the leaves turning bright colors that day as well…”
“Yes” I say to her, “and here our story begins.”
