~|Welcome To The Messed-Up Place I Call My Life|~
Cody jumped down and stood beside Rhythm, Micky and Sara following.
This is your new home, Cody announced, The land is yours to farm. Build a house, make a life. Rhythm spoke next, pointing at a rut in the ice behind us.
That is the border, and to cross it will be treason. That, over there- he pointed to a large, grey building- Is the guards station. You are not allowed to enter unless invited- again, treason.
But how are we supposed to live? Mum spoke, her voice distraught. You can't just leave us here to die!
I can do what I want. Rhythm, Uncle Mick and I will all stay here overnight, and leave later for a plane back from Islandia.
And me! sara put in. Rhythm shook his head and smiled.
My dear Sara, we're giving you a promotion.
You're leaving me here?
Yes we are. The head of the station will show you your quarters.
But- You said I'd be home by Christmas! You promised!
Sorry Sara. Official business. If you return before ordered, I'll have you fired, and Cody will outlaw street-people and have your family executed. You can still send your wages back to your family. Come on, let's go outside. You lot; collect any belongings.
We did as he said. Sara disappeared and came back minutes later with five bags full of things.
You'll need these- matches, food and freshwater. There's some furs and sleeping bags in there, too. Come round to the back of the station in ten minutes, and you'll find some stuff to build a house with- but out of sight of this place. Go now.
Thank you Sara, I whispered, Why are you so kind?
You remind me of my family, Lucky.
Rhythm came back, grinning, holding extra furs in his paws. Sara rushed over to him, leaving the stuff. Rhythm nodded at her, and said something we couldn't hear. His next words changed my life forever.
Coming, sister?
Of course, brother! Cindy walked fowards to meet him, pulling on the furs he offered. The last jigsaw piece was put into place. Cindy was the one who put me up to this.
Cinderella had betrayed me.
Cindy! I cried in horror and distress, You betrayed me! How could you?
I was never with you, so how could I betray you? I'm third in line for the throne, I'll let you know. You were never my friend. You've been living a lie, Lucky.
Anger surged up in me, full of heartbreak.
Just because you say you know me, doesn't say you know it all.
Don't acuse me of a crime I never did, don't say that you'll catch me if I fall.
No, not everyone is the same. No, not at all.
But in the end, I'll come out on top, because I know I can try.
And there's nothing that can stop me.
I will try, and I shall not stop untill I have got what I have looked for.
No need to insult me, I already know some is true, no need to push it, I've already had my fill. Except, you never knew me Cindy. It was you living the lie. Because I'll never give up, I'll die trying, and you can't say or do anything about it.
I don't really care, Lucky. By Easter Cody's plan will be successful. And we're going now. Have a nice life.
I was left standing there, staring after her through the snow.

[• DEFY THE CAPITOL •]

W.o.w. AMAZING!

[Rebel Faery]

Did you expect that? I wouldn't have.

[Rebel Faery]

The construction of the house took almost a day.
Dad, Aaron and Heather collected the stuff, swearing Sara wasn't there. I hadn't expected her to be.
We wore the furs, dropping a layer as we worked. It would be a one-floored house, with five rooms- a lodge with four small bedrooms.
Dad had been a builder once- first we had to dig a hole in the ice- it was so thick it didn't matter. Then we used some of the stones for a floor, and used bricks and cements to make the walls. Then we lined the outside with wood and made the roof from wood and slate.
The house was done, and a small fire burned inside.
I was about to go in, when I hesitated.
That's when I saw them.
The Northern Lights.

[star star.]

I HATE you, Cindy! Poor Lucky and her friends!

[Rebel Faery]

I know! I planned that since they were thrown in the truck. Anyone expect that?

[Rebel Faery]

^ New poll. Also, you vote on YOUR most hated. If you hate someone's personality, then vote so. If you like their personality, but not their actions, then don't vote. Just saying, 'cause I think Cindy may be the biggest bar on there.

[Rebel Faery]

The Northern Lights.
I'd always dreamt of seeing them, and knew I never would. Stories say they lead to another world. They're beautiful, so that no words could describe.
My breath caught in my throat. A mass of blue, green, pink, purple, yellow, orange, a tiny bit of red, trailed across the sky like a bright blaze. They were like heaven. Something from a dream long ago, changing colours and creating a blazing paradise. They looked like something from another world; I could hardly believe what I was saying.
Lucky, are you coming in- woah.
Jess stood behind me, staring up at the amazing sight in the sky. No matter what anybody says, that has got to be magic.
I've always wanted to see them, at least once.
She nudged me.
Now you get to see them all the time.
Girls, come inside, it's freezing out there.
Dad, look! The northern lights!
Wow, Lucks. Come inside now though. You can look through the window.
I sighed, and stepped inside, closing the door behind me.


Sorry for short entry, they'll be more in a moment. Gotta go do something!

[Rebel Faery]

Ok, more time!



We sat inside, sipping cocoa (thank you Sara!) around the fire, my eyes straying to the makeshift window at the lights. We all still wore at least one layer of furs, as it was freezing. Aaron was trying to make a fireplace- he felt uncomfortable with it in the centre of the room. We had wood as a floor, and plain brick walls. We sat on logs covered in more furs- I have a feeling I'm sat on some kind of bear. Eww. As for what I'm wearing- trust me, you don't wanna know.
Well, J, as far as things can go, I think we're doing pretty well. We're (semi)warm, (kinda)full, and all together(completely).
So, here we are. Indy went to our room about 10 minutes ago, too tired to stay up. Dad's building us all beds- so far he's done Aaron's and his/Mum's, Book's/Heather's and Indy's. The rest of the beds will be done tomorrow. Oh, here are the roommate pairs:
Mum + Dad = Bedroom One = Double Bed
Me + Indy = Bedroom Two = Two Single Beds
Jess + Aaron = Bedroom Three = Two Single Beds
Book + Heather = Bedroom Four = Bunk Bed
You kids ought to go to bed now.
But Mum-
Please, Lucky. We need to discuss things, and you're not old enough to understand the situation.
What do you mean? Haven't the past few weeks been proof that I'm grown up?
Lucky-
Lucks, please, just do as your mother says. We can't do this tonight.
Ok, I sighed, and went through the half-open door into my room, and closed it again. Indy was asleep in her bed, furs pulled over her. It was a tall bed (Dad laughed when Indy had to jump in), and I slept in a sleeping bag underneath it. I was asleep in minutes; the murmuring from the living room and the scuffing from Book and Heather next to us didn't disturb me one bit.
I woke, and it was brighter in the room. Indy was shaking me.
Lucky, get up! Daddy's got your bed!
I crawled out and looked at Dad and aaron, who were pushing a bed the same size as Indy's(just a little longer) in. I rushed over and helped them, settling it on the other wall. I kicked my sack of stuff underneath it, and like Indy, pulled my sleeping bag and furs onto it.
Go get some breakfast, Lu, Dad told me, and I did as he said. Mum smiled at me and gave me a honeyed bread roll. I ate it on a log around the fire (which now burned in a fireplace aaron had finished earlier).
Your Dad and aaron have been up since six, Mum said. I yawned. What time is it now?
Half eight, Lu! Book laughed. I grinned. You calling me lazy?
In a very discreet way, yes!
I laughed, chucking a pillow at her (Mum was knitting last night apparently. Mum, knitting?).
Nice sleep, Lu? Jess asked, coming inside. Heather followed her. Turns out, we forgot one crucial room, so we were just building it. I've taken the wood off, and I just need to make a door in here.
She beconed to Heather, who karate'd the wall with a hammer. The bricks crumbled, revealing a small cupboard-like room. They bricked up a hole in the wall on the far side, and began to dig.
Uh... What room is that? I asked in confusion. Heather laughed. Bathroom. We've made a hole in the Station's sewage pipe, and are going to dig a hold to it, so the room doesn't stink. We'll leave a bucket of water in the corner for you to pour some down to wash it to the pipe.
I mimed being sick and she laughed.
I finished the roll, and washed it down with some water. Dad came back out, Aaron behind him.
The last bed is done! How's the bathroom going, girls? No answer came.
They're probably halfway to the sewer pipe by now, Aaron half-joked.
We lazed around for a couple of hours, and Heather and Jess joined us. Dad built a makeshift door, and the house was pretty much done. Then Mum gave a cough.
Indy, Lucky... Family conference, please. Our room.
Confused, I followed her and Dad. What is it? I asked, closing the door.
Well, the thing is... You're having a new sister.
I choked on an apple I was eating, spraying it everywhere.
Uh, WHAT?!
