Chapter One.
New beginnings.

Luna Rose awoke to several crashes followed by a loud sigh. Maya Lavender had dropped the poker for the third time this week. Luna wondered often how a maid can be horrifically clumsy and still have a job. "Oh sorry Lady Rose, I woke you again didn't I? ". Maya sighed. "It's quite alright Maya". Once Maya had left, Luna put on a black dress and white silk stockings. Many people had told her to wear something more bright and colourful, that she always looked as if she were at a funeral. She couldn't imagine wearing any other colour though, she couldn't remember ever looking at a single pink item since her sister passed. She had always been very close with Ocean Rose, she had thought of her as a best friend rather than a sister. Her and her sister didn't look the slightest bit similar, Ocean had blond wavy hair that she never seemed to be able to tame, her eyes were the colour of a fresh grass hill, and shimmered whenever she got excited, she also had clear pretty skin. Luna however was the total opposite, with her black straight hair, ghostly pale skin and cold silver eyes Luna wandered if it was even possible for anyone to ever think she was pretty. Jacob Forster, her best friend since she was four, had joked that if she stood in a graveyard she would scare anyone who walked past, the worst part was she knew it was true. Ocean had drowned in a lake, the same lake that Luna had always feared ever since she was a little girl.

"Good morning Luna!" Said Jessica Lindsay, her other beautiful friend. Luna had always been jealous of Jessica, how could she not be. Jessica was pretty, shy and kind. Her wavy multi colored hair, pretty tanned skin and the most beautiful sky-blue eyes, made all the boys turn on their heels just to catch a glimpse of her. She also is one of the many cooks at Mayfield Manner. "Good morning", Luna muttered, failing to hide the jealousy in her voice. "Wow Jessica you look so pretty today!" Said Maya as she swept the polished stone floor. Maya was definitely not as gorgeous as Jessica, but still wasn't ugly, she has light red frizzy hair, freckled cheeks, brown eyes and always has her hair up in a messy bun. Maya used to look very cheerful, but now all Luna could see on her face was sorrow. Luna wasn't the only one who suffered from the loss of Ocean, while Luna lost her sister, Maya lost her best friend.

Luna sat at the busy dining table debating on which pancake looked the most delicious when the room suddenly turned silent. It was Astrid Rose, the owner of Mayfeild Manner, Luna's mother. Luna had never been close with her mother, in fact she thought of her as the most bitter person in the room. Her mother always seemed to have a storm cloud floating directly above her head, depending everyone's mood as she strutted pasted them. Astreds eyes seemed to glow at the sight of suffrage and pain, they shined greyish green and reminded Luna of a dreadfully cold, damp, misty...
