This is a story i'm going to try and write on my RP character, Amethyst, since Dragon Mage challenged me to write a story...so here it is XD my first try at writing anything like this, so it'll probably suck.
The titles a work in progress and may change without warning XD
Chapter One, the beginning
The woman pulled her cloak more securely around her shoulders, bending her head so her face couldn’t be seen in the moonlight, she crept around slowly, almost silently as she went forth to her destination. She found what she was looking for, a decrepit house, identical to the others surrounding it, made recognisable only by its dark purple door. The woman took a deep breath, for she knew she was about to commit a dark deed, knocked twice on the door, and walked in before someone could reply, her cloak flying behind her. She saw a tired, defeated woman sitting in a chair clutching a newborn baby, her eyes sullen, three more children sat around her, their cheeks too thin, their eyes showing they’d seen things no child should see. The lack of a father was obvious,
“Poor woman must have turned to prostitution to feed her family” the cloaked woman thought sadly
The woman in the chair looked up slowly and stared absently into the cloaked woman’s eyes before hissing
“Do you have my money?”
The cloaked woman nodded and reached into a pouch to withdraw a bag of coins, which she threw onto a rickety looking table.
“All three hundred coins are there, count them if you wish, now hand over the baby”
The woman stood up slowly and glanced quickly at her baby,
“She will have a better life, right?” When the cloaked woman nodded quickly the mother carried on “I have just one request…please, tell her new family to call her Rebecca, after me and my mother…it’s a family tradition…and the only gift I can give to her” a tear rolled slowly down her cheek.
“Goodbye, princess” she whispered before handing the baby over to the cloaked woman. She took one last look at the birth mother before turning round and leaving the house, closing the door behind her.
“How ironic, she called you princess” she jeered looking at the baby “because that’s EXACTLY what your going to be” the woman took the same route she took to return to the palace, where her mistress, the queen was waiting.
She strolled into the queen’s room presenting the baby to her
“all went as arranged your majesty, the whore has been paid, and no-one else will know that this baby isn’t yours”
The Queen looked at the cloaked woman silently, before saying
“Go to the guards, ask them to eliminate the woman and all the children, this is too dire a secret to allow even the smallest chance of a leak.”
The woman was horrified, rescuing a baby from a life of poverty was one thing but murder, well that was quite another!
“Your majesty! Please, reconsider! These people…we can’t simply kill them!”
The queen looked sympathetic, “look” She whispered “Those…people, they’re starving. They’ll die a slow painful death if they don’t die…a bullet to the brain, they won’t feel a thing, so go to the guards and hand over the baby to me.”
The cloaked woman handed the baby to the queen, and turned to leave, but not before she remembered what the birth mother had said to her as she left with her only daughter, “Your majesty, the birth mother requested just one thing…to call the baby Rebecca, after her and her mother.”
The queen laughed softly, “Rebecca?” she cried incredulously, “that’s such a…common name, no. I shall call my princess…Amethyst…yes, Amethyst Espoir, Princess of Terra.”
“As you wish” the cloaked woman nodded as she left the room, a single tear resting on her face. She told the guards where to go, and what to do. She had no choice. It was their lives or hers, “Please forgive me” she whispered, as six elite guards left the palace to commit the heinous act.
Shortly afterwards as the Queen put Amethyst to sleep in a crib, five distant gunshots were heard. smiling the Queen sat down and began to read her book, as though this was the end of a normal day.
