Chapter 1 - How it began

"I can't take it anymore!" Lora cried as she plopped onto the bed, Lilith smiled as she walked in bringing a bucket of water, "My lady stop! You'll mess up your clothes!" she scolded, pulling her off of her bed, trying to pat off the dust from her dress, Lora pulled her into a hug, "Oh my sweet sweet, Princess, you don't know the horror I have to go through!!" she said dramatically, Lilith rolled her eyes, as she smiled, and patted Lora's head, "you poor poor dear" she said sarcastically, "oh Lilith my dear only your warm embrace, and lovely~ powder biscuits could cure my sorrow!!" she said leaning back like she'd faint. 

Lilith started laughing, she spun Lora around, the two dancing, and giggling, "I guess if that's the only thing that would help, it is what the doctor said right?" she asked, "Yes!yes! Yes! Doctor's orders" she smiled "ehem the doctor's orders, or more mothers orders was for you to study in your room for the rest of the day, because of that stunt you pulled today, little sister." a stern voice said, Lilith turned around, Lora hid behind her, "Hello your grace" Lilith greeted, Lora's older brother James, "tsk!" Lora sucked her teeth, "I don't know why you make her do that!" she hissed, "Manners young sister! A lady doesn't suck her teeth, and a commoner greets royalty with grace, and respect!" he slightly shouted, glaring at her, as she mocked him.

She crossed her arms, pouting, "what makes us different from her?! What just because we were born with money,and she isn't, you know in another universe the roles are switched!" she shouted, he rolled his eyes, "yes yes, you tell me this everytime I come here to retrieve you" he said, leaning against the doorframe, she glared at him, and turned away, he sighed rubbing his forehead, "Lilith...you can address me as...big brother" he said, "weirdo!" Lora shouted, and stuck out her tongue at him, "Sometimes I wish you could take my place Lilith" Lora said walking to James with her head down, "my lady, you're forgetting something~" Lilith said, Lora turned around, her smile grew wide, as she rushed to take the basket of powder, golden biscuits, "//gasp!// golden biscuits.." she said, James eyes sparkled as he peered into the basket, "....o-older brother…these are yours" Lilith said, handing him a basket as well, he smiled, holding his head up, looking around as he took the basket, "ehem…thank you dear Lilith" he said, turning his head, to hide his red ears.

Lora laughed at him as she skipped out of Lilith's den, with her gone, Lilith bowed to him "good day your grace" she said, he smiled, "good day…..my lady" he said also bowing, before he left.

When Lora was five years old she fell into a river and almost drown, Lilith saved her, when Lora was eight years old, was lost, gone for three days and almost fell off a cliff Lilith, who was looking for berries saved her, fed her, and brought her back to the castle, when Lora was thirteen years old, and was about to be attacked by teenage boys, Lilith who was out hunting, she saved her, each time Lilith refused any reward from Lora's parents, but…being that she was a "commoner" Lora's mother didn't want her anywhere near Lilith, so all of what Lora said earlier she learn from her grandfather, who lost his family's fortune, then gained it back but not before living through the hell of being poor, her father taught her to always keep those loyal close to you, as it's hard to find someone you can trust. 

James was raised by his mother before he met his father, his mother told him he, and commoners were not the same, his father tried to change that, but it didn't work, though it seemed that he was starting to accept what his father told him.

it seemed that way.
