Sneak peak: Prelog - part 1

Hey again,

Well writing is going slower then I had hoped... But still, process is process, right? So here's how the book begins, with Mizumi:


September 21th 1851, America

Mizumi was only three years old when it all began, for her at least. She was running around the living room, too excited to contain herself and nearly knocking over the maid. Firewood fell everywhere. With unbelievable speed Mizumi moved to the other side of the room and watched the maid struggle to put all the firewood in the fireplace. The lady of the house walked in the room, barely looking at Mizumi and focusing on the maid. “What’s all this noise?” “I’m sorry mi-milady.” The maid stammered. “Lady Mizumi is just excited.” Mizumi’s big blue eyes focused on her mother. “When are we leaving for the picnic?” “I told you to be patient, cook is still making us a picnic basket. And what did I say about running around? Act like a proper lady and sit down!” Mizumi’s smile faltered, “Yes mother.” She sat down on the couch and crossed her ankles at the base. The maid flinched at the lady Odelia’s harsh tone, but she knew better than to say something. Quietly she left the room, giving one last glance at the little girl sitting on the couch. She always thought Mizumi looked like a porcelain doll. She had a heart shaped face, piercing blue eyes framed by long curly hair. Which if she had to compare it to anything, looked almost fuchsia. Today Mizumi was wearing a baby blue laced dress with a white ribbon at her neck, her wrists and on the hem. But no matter how beautiful she looked, there was always a certain sadness clinging to her. Lady Odelia turned around and saw the maid hovering in the doorway. “Why are you still here?” The maid made a whimpering noise and quickly left before lady Odelia could strike her. “And you, stay here until we’re ready to leave.” Without looking at her daughter, she walked away.
