Chapter 1

"My love, please spare me!" she cried out. The prince just turned away. She noticed and turned to Amethyst. "My dear sister, you'll spare me, right?" Amethyst just looked at her sadly. The knight's sword slashed down, and cut her head off.

And gone was the first daughter of the Edelstien house, Emerald Edelstien.

I woke up with a start, I had a dream about a book I had just read. It was called, "Amethyst Edelstien and the crown prince". It was a romance book about a noble woman named Amethyst Edelstien and her love story with the crown prince. The conflict in the book was caused by Emerald, Amethyst's elder sister, and the villainess. Emerald was also in love with the crown prince, and she had always hated her younger sister because Emerald blamed her for their mother's death. Because of this, Emerald constantly tries to sabotage Amethyst and the crown prince's relationship, and even attempts to kill Amethyst. She gets caught, and she gets executed for her crimes, the main couple live happily ever after…blah blah blah…you get it.

I had no idea why I had dreamed about the book, as I had read it a couple of months ago, and completely forgot about it until now, a friend had lent it to me when I seemed interested. I then realised that I wasn't in my room, I wasn't even in a place that I recognized. With nothing better to do, I shouted.

"Help! Help please!" I yelled, and then I started to cry. Uncontrollably. What the heck? These 2 ladies ended up coming to my bed…wait…this wasn't a bed at all, it was a fancy crib! They started rocking it and trying to calm me down.

"Shhh! Be quiet Lady Emerald, your baby sister has just been born, and you'll wake her and the rest of the castle up!" Said one of the ladies kindly. What the heck? Lady Emerald? Castle? What was going on? This must be a dream of some sorts. Yup, a dream, time to go back to sleep and when I wake up, I'd forget this even happened.

A few hours later, I woke up again. It is daytime now, I try to stand up, and I'm surprised by how easy it was. Ok, so I'm a child young enough to sleep in a crib, but old enough to stand easily. That doesn't narrow it down too much, but at least I won't have to stay this way for longer than I could've. I could talk too, I have to remember that. Also, my name is Emerald, just like the villainess from the novel I had just dreamed about. Maybe I was going crazy, but they mentioned a baby sister that had just been born. Emerald was a year older than Amethyst, and a 1-year-old baby would be able to stand and talk. However, I can't just jump to conclusions, I need to see the baby first. As I was about to call for the maids, a young boy of about 4 burst into my room. He had bright hair the colour of fire, but his eyes were the colour of oceans. Oh no, this couldn't be. Before I could take this in, the little boy ran up to me and yelled,

"Guess what Em-er-ald? We have a baby sister, her name is Aim-this!" He yelled out. One of the maids grabbed his hand and tried to lead him out the room.

"Your sister has just woken up Lord Jasper, don't bother her for now" The maid told the boy. Oh great, Emerald and Amethyst had an older brother named Jasper, he was 3 years older than Emerald, and 4 years older than Amethyst. This pretty much confirms it, I was going to die. 

This sucks.

Really, that's all I can say. I get born in the middle ages or something, but at least I'm a noble-that can't replace the internet, or computers, or you know toilets but at least I'll like, live past 25. Well, in the novel commoners lived to be around 70, but you know-but I happen to end up dying at the age of 18, so that won't matter anyways.

As I was having this crisis, one of the maids spotted me waiting for her.

"Umm…Lady Emerald? Would you like to see your little sister?" She asked. I couldn't lose this opportunity, I nodded violently. Also, Emerald, huh? I'd better make a nickname so my brother and later sister won't have to break it apart, and give one to Amethyst too. 

"Emmie would like to see sissy" I say. Ugh, that was the cringiest thing that has ever left my mouth, but it would seem weird if a baby started talking like a teenager all of a sudden.

"Emmie? Who's that?" The maid asks

"My name is too long, so I made me a nickname!" I yell, and I giggle too, like I was the most clever person to ever live. Oh god, maybe I would be better off dead. One thing was for certain, this whole baby thing wasn't going to last, I'm ditching it when I turn 5. The maid laughs too.

"Of course Lady Emmie! Silly me!" She replies. Ok, so now it was time to meet Amethyst Edelstien, the protagonist of this novel and my baby sister.
