NARLS :D

Um...hi XD I'm Tari and...**is distracted by awesome Ani Difranco music** and--what was I saying? Oh right. Introducing myself. *facedesk* I'm Tari, and I really love to write and the awesomely amazing epical person Nifty Porcupine invited me to this blog and I'm really glad I get to join. I love music like Tori Amos, Florence + The Machine, Neko Case, Lykke Li, KT Tunstall and Ani Difranco, whom I just discovered ^^ I'm a computer addict, and also a homeschooler. No one ever taught me how to spell, I learned it all from reading. And if you're wondering about the title...don't ask. Nifty will get it. Eurgh. OKAY, FINALLY. Time for some real writing. This is part of a story I'm working on, called a Nonconformist Fairytale. I will post more parts soon. I must warn you however it is VERY NONCONFORMIST and may appear anti-religious which I happen not to be even though I'm not actually religious. Whatever. Here goes. Also--her name is EDD-INN, not EE-DINN, or EE-DENN. OKAY? Good.

Chapter 1

"Eden. Eden! Wake up!" Eden groaned. "Go away, Tara." Eden mumbled. "Girl, you gotta dinner party t' go t' at five, we gotta get you ready cuz' yo Mum n' yer Father 'r tryin' t' get ya hooked up with one o' the best boys in the kingdom!" Tara said, shaking Eden more violently now. "Fine! I'm getting up, see?" Eden sat bolt upright in bed. "It's eight in the morning, Tara, really.." She muttered. Tara scowled at her, arms crossed. "When I was your age, I had t' get up at four! You migh' be a princess, but I don' take no gobbledegook from no one, royal 'r not." She said. Eden gave a small, soft laugh and smiled up at Tara, who was still scowling back at her. Eden liked her servant. She was always tough but also kind. Tara's past had been hard. She was raised on a farm, in a family of 13 children who showed little respect for Tara, being that she was the youngest and smallest. Now, however, Tara was 32 years old, with butterscotch colored skin, dark eyes and dark hair pulled back in a loose bun.


Tara's life was much unlike Eden's in many ways. Eden was born in a castle and raised to be used to having most people at her command. She liked this, but she often wondered what it would be like not to be the princess, maybe an orphan, or a Thief, stealing food to keep herself alive. She was so lost in thought she was almost oblivious to Tara, at her feet measuring her for dressess, until she saw her reflection staring at her in the tall mirror that was always in her room. Eden had long, dark red hair, a few small brown freckles across her nose, dark eyelashes and peircing green eyes that often mysteriously glinted purple in the moonlight. She was tall, slender and long-fingered. Most people told her she was very pretty, but she didn't care for vanity. Eden wanted adventure, something she was sure she would never get.

I know, it's starting out kinda boring, but it'll get better..hopefully. The adventure part hasn't started yet. FYI, it starts with people shouting a lot and someone almost (but not) getting killed. Have a nice day :)
