Chapitre 4: . Chapter: New Alliance (1)
It's been a week since Kyrith's rebirth, nothing exciting has happened since. Violet hadn't came to visit for the whole week, it made Kyrith swell up with worries. What is something happened to Violet? Did a wild animal eat her? Or had a car hit her? Kyrith never had a pet before, she always wanted one tho, but her father and stepmother never allowed so. Violet would be Kyrith's secret cat as long as she came back home, and no one finds out.
Kyrith sat in the dim library, reading classic literature and sipping her sweet-tea. Flipping through the crisp papers of an old German book, slowly forgetting about reality. It was like a ancient mood.
Undisturbed for a while, one of Kyrith's father's maids interrupted her reading.
„Miss Kyrith, Your father would like to speak with you"
Kyrith shut the book tight and tried to obtain herself with control, not knowing if it was fear or excitement she was supposed to be feeling. Walking behind the maid, Kyrith's feet wanted to sprint down the hall and knock down the door between her father and herself.
When Kyrith arrived at his office, his maid was excused to report back to her duties. Kyrith adjusted her posture and waited with agony for her father to speak. It was painful to keep patience as Kyrith watched her father sign some papers, as if he was in no rush to speak to Kyrith, this annoyed her.
Kyrith's father then shifted his gaze on Kyrith for only a few moments, then said, „I apologize for not being able to tell you this sooner Kyrith, I have found you a tutor.", he paused for a moment, letting Kyrith soak in the first half of his news, „Her name is Amy Janyer, Miss Janyer will be arriving late in the afternoon"
It was still only the morning, Kyrith had a few hours left to spare, it was excellent news to hear that her new tutor was coming over today after a whole week of boredom. Kyrith thanked her father for the news and left his office, heading to her room.
It was important to make a good first impression on Amy, she needed Amy to think of the sweet child Kyrith is. It would be difficult to have an ally that doesn't consider you as one either, making friends with Amy was the top goal no matter what. Kyrith began to hope Amy was young, not to young tho, but young enough for Kyrith to understand her and manipulate her the way she wants.
Kyrith passed by Emily in the halls, the little moment when they passed each other and their gazes met seemed to last as long as eternity. Emily's eyes as sly as a snake and Kyrith's as innocent as an angel. Kyrith's sweet looks always gave people the first laugh, an assumption of her soul and mind, Kyrith was mentally sweet too but with this madness going on, it would be hard to stay the same. Manipulation was the key to everyone as long as you know which lock to put it in.
In Kyrith's bedroom, Kyrith stood in front of her huge wardrobe full of dresses, it reminded her of a book she use to read about a lion and a snow queen. The two year difference in Kyrith's mind hardly changed in her fashion taste, she always had a wonderful taste for fashion and was awfully good at giving that sort of advice to people. With all that said, the selection of clothes was big in Kyrith's wardrobe since everything would be suitable.
Kyrith didn't want to wear something to expensive with so much detail or else Amy might not think Kyrith is serious about learning and only thought about looks. Amy probably is stundend at a fourteen year-old wanting to learn law, Kyrith must prove herself. Wearing something too plain would make Kyrith look like a simple and boring girl, she would look serious but also like a girl who couldn't care less about herself.
Kyrith put her hands on her hips and starred into the wardrobe, a smile formed on her face, „I feel like I'm going to Narnia"
After fifteen minutes, Kyrith settled on a light grey dress with puffed sleeves and white lace on the trim. Kyrith called one of her maids, maid Stacey to organize her wardrobe again and to pick up some of the dresses on the floor. It wasn't very ladylike of Kyrith but she was just to caught up in her own head as if she was in one of her favourite books. A little secret that Kyrith preferred to keep to herself was that sometimes she checks the back of her wardrobe just incase there is gateway to another world.
•••
It was about time Amy Janyer would be arriving, Kyrith sat in the library patiently waiting for her tutor, Kyrith heard footsteps growing nearer when maid Stacey entered with a young lady wearing a brown leather jacket and black boots. The woman had a kind smile on her face with narrow green eyes, Kyrith almost thought it was her dead mother, there faces looked quite similar except the black hair.
The urge to call her mother had to be pushed aside, it would be awfully strange to call an unknown woman her long lost mother no matter the reasoning.
„Miss Kyrith, This is your tutor, Miss Janyer" Said maid Stacey.
„Hello Kyrith, I have been looking forward to meeting you", Amy took a seat at the table beside Kyrith, the vision of Kyrith's mother still hasn't settled down.
„I am very delighted to meet you Miss Janyer. I hope we will get along just fine"
„I believe we will, and you don't have to call me Miss Janyer. You can call me Amy"
Maid Stacey left as soon as she felt Kyrith was alright with Amy, still there was a guard outside the library to insure Kyrith's safety. Amy pulled out a couple of papers and a big book, the book must be about all the rules and laws.
„Before I start with my lesson, I think it is best if we get to know each other better" exclaimed Amy.
Getting to know each other was what Kyrith needed, perhaps Kyrith could make Amy feel pity for her, knowing her weakness, carve Amy into what she needed.
„What do you do for living?" asked Kyrith, it was a odd question to ask, but Kyrith needed to know about her job position, even if she looked young.
„I am a lawyer. I started studying law when I was about your age"
„A lawyer!" Kyrith put her hands over her mouth, feeling guilty for blurted out. Kyrith had seemed to have already made a fool out of herself, it might have not been a bad thing tho. Amy began to giggle a bit, „your so cute Kyrith, yes I have been a lawyer for two years now, I became a lawyer when I became twenty-one"
Amy was a lawyer, this was excellent news, incase Kyrith ever did get caught, Amy would defend her, hopefully.
„Do you have any family Amy?"
„Yes, my two parents three hours up north, can you tell me a bit about your family?"
"I have my father, stepmother and stepsister. My real mother died five years ago when I was nine. I miss her everyday"
Amy began to feel guilty, pity for such a young girl to lose her mother at such a young age. It must've been terrible for Kyrith to go through her mothers death, not knowing how to handle the situation at that time, blaming herself for the cause of her mothers death.
"I'm so sorry to hear that Kyrith, I really am"
"It's okay Amy, I'm fine now. Let's get on with the lesson shall we?"
Amy gave Kyrith a big law book for Kyrith to study in her spare time, to memorize everything if she wanted too, Kyrith knew it was to early to ask more detail about crime. Amy taught Kyrith about every position and the rules in court, how she defends her clients and her salary. She told her how you must behave in court and what to say. It was Interesting to know about law, tho Kyrith wanted to know more about the police's roles and how they find the guilty ones. That was a question for another time.
Every now and then the maids would come and check on Kyrith and Amy, refilling their cups of tea and making sure everything is under control. Two hours flew by fast and it was Amy's time to go, Kyrith said her goodbyes. There next lesson was in two days.
Kyrith's stepmother asked how the lesson has gone, Kyrith told her it went well. Emily was off course curious of the woman that came to visit Kyrith, but preferred to ask her mother instead. After realizing it was just a tutor for law, Emily lost interest quickly.
Kyrith stored the book and papers in her room neatly on her desk, she could research about the police herself too. Thirsty for knowledge, Kyrith had to plan ahead, could she trust Amy? Humans lie too often so it would be hard to find someone reliable, but Amy felt like a good soul, just like Kyrith's mother. Kyrith decided she would keep Amy as her tutor.
