(okkk)
Laughter. Clove was only a small child. She was running through the courtyard. Her hair whipped her neck as she ran past the hedges. Clove's face flushed and the cool ground nipped her bare feet. She pushed her wispy hair just as someone wrapped their arms around her. It startled her. Her mother's perfume surrounded her. Clove hugged her.

Clove woke with a start. Her dreams of her mother haunt her. "It was just a dream, nothing more but a little dream," Cove thought to herself. She opened her curtains to her balcony door. Clove took her hair down. She stepped on her cool balcony tile and breathed deeply, taking in the aromas around her. She went back indoors and started to comb through her hair. She dropped her brush when someone knocked on her door…

Clove picked up her brush that had fell and carefully set in on her vanity. "One minute!" Clove responded trying to look somewhat presentable. Who could it be? It was only 11:00 in the morning. She quickly changed out of her nightgown and put on a summer dress. She opened the door and there was standing a girl around her age. She did not recognize her but there is a lot of palace staff so it might be someone new. She was a bit frustrated that someone was interrupting her morning. The girl standing in front of her was a bit shorter than Clove. The person standing in front of her kept a blank face as if she had no emotions at all. "can I help you?" Cove asked.

Clove began to worry a bit. "There is nothing to worry about, you are the queen after all. They answer to you." Clove thought to herself. "Of course, I will have a maid escort you to the library. I will be there shortly." Clove responded to the girl. She asked for a maid and shut the door. She had a million things to do today, but I suppose that it will all have to wait. She put her wavy blonde hair into a low ponytail and slipped on a pair of flats. Surely it's nothing, but Clove's brain was buzzing with ideas about what this "meeting" will entail. Clove slowly strolled down the stairs as she was still deep in thought. No citizen of the kingdom has asked to meet with her personally. She had to keep a level voice and think carefully through her words. Clove cleared her throat as seh opened the library doors…

Clove smiled at the girl in front of her. She sat down in a roomy armchair across from her. Clove whispered to a maid to bring in some tea and coffee. She put her hands in her lap and looked at the girl in front of her. Clove searched her face for something… anything. Her eyes glistened with something but she couldn't tell what. Just as quickly as she had left the maid entered the room and placed the tray on the small coffee table. Clove took the steaming cup of coffee and dismissed the maid. This distracted her from the girl. She added a couple of sugar cubes and stirred the warm glass. She blew on her cup and took a slow sip. " You're welcome to have some coffee or tea, " Clove said to the girl. "Now that we are in private what do you wish to say?" Cove said. Her stomach had butterflies in them, worried what the girl might say to her.

Clove smiled to herself. She liked the girl, she has guts. In her mind Clove debated something; should she tell her? On one hand, she thought, " She is a complete stranger. Why would you tell her? She could ruin it." but she also thought, " I like her. She could be a good member." Clove decided that she would tell her. She made sure no one was listening in on their conversation and started to tell her her plan. "Your parents aren't dead. Actually, your parents did not commit a crime at all. They are very wonderful people. You look a lot like your father. They are part of my rebellion. Why do you think that I started to tax all of my citizens? I'm hoping someone who has sanity will force me to step down. I didn't want to rule in the first place yet, here I am. You're welcome to be apart of it all if you wish. You and your brother are welcome to stay with me for the time being. I can show you your parents you can help me get everyone out of this place. We call ourselves The Society."

Her response was surprising to Clove. Now, Clove was angry. She was doing her a favor. Apparently the girl wanted to get trapped in the kingdom when it was falling to ruins. That was fine with her. She didn't need any more problems unraveling before the rebellion even commenced. Still, even though rage consumed her Clove managed to keep a steady voice, " Fine. You can leave. Do you want to rebel against me? Do it! I dare you. You may not bow to a queen who wears a jeweled crown but how will you feel when the kingdom falls apart and you all get conquered by the north? I'm sure you will prefer my rule over theirs. I will have one of my guards show you out." Clove thought that this meeting was a waste of her time. She could have been preparing to evacuate her citizens then listening to this foolish girl. Clove walked out of the library and proceed to go down the basement steps. There waited a small train."Ah, how lovely to see you, Ana!" said Clove sitting down on the train bench. Ana was the train conductor and their military general. Her Irish accent always calmed Clove. " This kingdom will fall and the fools will Parrish." Clove said aloud as the train whisked them away to their destination.

Once Clove had arrived she finally felt herself let out a sigh. She finally felt at home. Clove waved to a few of the townspeople and smiled at a few kids. Here, she was able to get away from what's happening above her. Clove finally arrived at the building she was looking for. The one with the glass door. "Hello everyone. So sorry that I am late. There was a bit of trouble up there. Let the meeting start." Clove said as she sat down at the head of the long, silver table. She went to meet with the officials of The Society. This included her generals, governor, and trusted companions. "Is there anything you want to add, Clove?" Ana asked. "Yes, actually. I need someone to kidnap some people for me. I know that sounds unusual. But, I need a brother and sister taken here immediately. "

(oh my gosh they are all so pretty!)
Clove's mind was still on the girl. She reminded her of someone, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Once the meeting had ended she decided to walk around the small, underground town. She and her townspeople had put in a lot of work to design the place. From the cobblestone streets to what color the doorknobs were to be. She is very proud of her community's dedication. But, she was even happier that no one here compares her to her mother. Up there everyone says, "Your mother would have known what to do." or " Your mother could fix it." It drove Clove insane. She knew that she was nothing like her mother. But, had her mother created this? No, she hadn't so everyone can close their mouths. Without realizing she had stopped in front of her house there. She hadn't actually been able to stay there because of her duties in the kingdom. Clove decided to look inside. Nothing had been touched. Her home was tiny. It was more of a cottage actually. She was startled when she heard screams outside…

( if i could play any instruments i'm pretty sure that i would own something like that. i would be pretty freakin proud of them too lol)
The lights in her cottage turned off. Clove's heart began to race. Were they being ambushed? Why had the power shut off? Clove took a deep breath and felt around her wall for the door. Once she had made it outside she ordered everyone to stay where they were. As far as she could tell this was just a simple power outage. Her breath began to slow and her shoulders were no longer tense. "I need everyone to stay calm, please. This is just a minor power outage and we should be up and running within a few moments. If anyone has any matches and candles please pass them to the people around you." Clove said to those that could hear her. She was soon met by Milo and Wren, her engineers. "What is happening? Did something happen to the power source?" Clove asked in an anxious voice. " The generator stopped working. We are working on it now. But, in the meantime, we should move everyone to the library. It should be fixed in about an hour tops." Wren said and Milo nodded. Clove nodded and turned back to her citizens. 'Alright everybody, I want everyone to light any candles and make your way to the library. You can get back to your day within the hour. " she said and guided a few people to the library. The library was the largest building and had the biggest carrying capacity. Their community was only around 1000 people and with the library being four stories it was the perfect size for them all. "Ana, you know that girl that I told you about- the one I had the meeting with earlier today? Did you find out her and her brother's names?" Clove asked. "Yes, Ayla and Tyler I believe. Don't their parents live here?" Ana replied leaning on a bookcase. "Yeah, they're part of the first group of people I brought here. Could you have some guys bring Ayla and Tyler here?"

(yeah, also they can be very expensive haha)
The lights started to flicker above her. Some people let out cheers and started to gather their things and get back to their routine. Clove had been down there for long enough and started to make her way back to the train station. When she was back on the train her eyelids began to droop and soon enough she had dozed off…
She was awakened by a screech. The train had arrived back to the kingdom. Clove raced up the steps and made her way back to the main room. She had been there longer than she had thought. It was late up here. She asked a maid to bring her dinner up to her bedroom. She had a lot on her mind. A lot to think about. The more she thought of the blackout the less it made sense. They had never had a blackout before. Her mind was all over the place, so she was going to run a bath. She waited for the water to warm and stripped off her clothes and plopped right in. At that moment she heard a knock on her window…

( maybe like 4/6 p.m? it doesn't really matter to me, so whatever you want to do.)

Clove was on edge… she was debating on opening her window. Who was waiting for her? The mystery person knocked again. Clove got out of the tub and put on a robe. She could hear her heart beating loudly as if it was going to burst out of her chest. She slowly opened her curtains and peeked outside. The knocking had grown more intense. Clove gave in and opened her window. The figure was wearing a cloak that hid his features. The person slipped through the window and took off her cloak.
" Matthias? " Clove asked wearily.
" The one and only," he replied. Clove wrapped her arms around him.
Cloves eyes got wide, " You can't be here. What if someone sees you? You're supposed to be dead you know."
Before sending him to the other city Clove made up a story that her older brother died on a trip to the western part of the Kingdom.
" I was wearing a cloak and it's night outside, so I am fine," Matthias replied running his fingers through his shoulder-lengthed hair.
" You need to leave, Matthias. This was a pleasant surprise, but you need to leave this instant. I love you, but you are not risking your confidentiality on this." Clove begged him.

Matthias looked hurt. Clove hadn't meant to be so harsh. She really did love her brother it was just that he was risking the whole underground city. Clove wrapped her arms around him and cried softly. He pulled her closer to his chest and ran his fingers through her hair. "I'm so sorry- I hadn't meant to be so rude. I do truly want to see you." Clove said to him as she buried his head into his chest. "Shhh, it's ok, Clo," Matthias replied kissing her forehead. Before Clove had become queen her and Matthias had been as thick as thieves. They would never leave each other's side and were always getting into some type of trouble. Clove's sobs softened and Matthias walked her to her bed. Matthias sat across from her in an armchair. Before long Clove drifted off to sleep and Matthias took his leave.

(whatever works best for the storyline, it doesn't matter that much to me)
