Annabelle's POV
My eyes flutter open as I feel the warm sun on my face. I feel the soft grass beneath me as I look up at the beautiful sky.
I hear birds chirping and I take in the fresh air and shigh. I slowley turn my head becuase I feel a presence next to me.
I scream an earsplitting scream as I see whats happening next to me. There, of all people, is James. But that's not the reason I screamed. There laying on top of him, kissing him, is Lia! She continues to kiss him but looks at me with her eyes and I can tell she's smirking.
I scream agian until I cant scream any more beacuase it feels like my throat has been rubbed with sandpaper.
I sit up in my bed panting and I can feel the sweat on my body. I'm startled by the sudden movement next to me but sigh when I see who it is. "Hey, you okay shortcake?" James says groggily.
"Just a nightmare." I say frowning. "Aww I'm sorry babe come here, tell me aout it." He says lifting one of his arms up, allowing me to squeeze next to him.
When I do he wraps his arm around me, pulling me closer to him. "Well, at first it was really nice. Everything was peacful and warm, but then I looked next to me. Right there was you, but I screamed when I saw what was happening." I say, my voice shakeing.
James rubs his hand up and down my arm soothingly. "You w-were k-kissing Lia." I say as a silent tear rolls down my cheek. At my words, his hand stops moving.
Then he takes his arm and pulls me even closer, nusling his face into the crook of my neck. "I would never kiss that evil witch." He says with a snarl.

"Okay? I want you to know that I will never hurt you that way Annabelle." He says and I nod slowly and wipe the tear off my face. "Good night shortcake" he says and my eye lids soon grow heavy and I drift off to sleep.
(The next day)
The sun streams through my curtains and to my luck, straight into my eye. I slowly sit up and stretch my arms out and make a yawning noise that sounds like a pterodactyl screeching.
A shirtless James with sweatpants walks into my room and leans against my doorway. "What, did you throw a brick into a washing machine or something?" He says chuckling and crossing his arms. I just stick my tounge out at him and he returns the gesture and I laugh.
"Why dont you come downstairs and eat breakfast?" He says smliling at me. I groan and plop face flat on my bed. "I dont wanna get up." I say into the sheets.
All of a sudden I feel muscular arms grab me and before I know it I'm slung over James shoulder. "James you put me down!" I say, pounding my fists on his back.
Although I have to say that I am enjoying the view. He skips down the stairs and I nearly fall off his back.
He finally sits me down on one of the bar stools and holds up his pointer finger, dashing off to get something and I just roll my eyes. He dashes back with a tray full of yummy food. "Is this all for me? You didn't have to." I say admiring all the food.
"Anything for my shortcake." He says smirking. I give him a kiss on the cheek and he sets down the tray and we dig in. Everything was delicious!

At one point we took our spoons and flung scrambled egg at each other. Carson walks into the kitchen, a cup of coffee in her hands and rolls her eyes at us.
"Ugh, yall are so cute you make me want to gag." she says using her pointer finger and pointing it at her mouth. We both laugh and fling egg at her.
She just ends up catching it skillfully with her mouth. "Haha nice try losers!" she says and we laugh. After breakfast, Carson, James and I all sat on the couch watching one of my all time favorite shows, The Originals!
Mid-episode the doorbell rings. So I dont have to get into my wheelchair, James gets up and opens the door. Right as he does, Tyler bursts right in, makeing us laugh, and James eye him confused.
"I have the greatest news for you girls!" He says plopping down on the couch, cross legged. "Oh my god what!" I say with sarcastic excitement, and Tyler just rolls his eyes at me.
"Well, 1D day is coming up, and I get to interview them! And before you ask 'How does that benefit us?', I get to bring yall as guests and yall get to meet them!" He says screaming the last part.
"OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Carson and I scream. He nods with the biggest smile on his face. "Oh my god! If i could jump up and down I so would right now!" I say laughing and at my words, James comes over and grabs me by my waist and throws me up and down makeing me laugh, helping me "Jump".
"OK! Stop before you give me a cuncusion! Now carry me up the stairs so I can 'Jump' on the other girls beds to tell them the wonderful news!" I say enthusiastically and James just rolls his eyes and carrys me up stairs with Tyler following behind me.
I turn my head and look over James' shoulder and Tyler mouths 'Who's the hottie?" and I laugh and mouth 'Mine!' and he rolls his eyes at me.
When we get up the stairs, we go to Scouts room first and James throws me onto her bed before I can protest and I land right on top of her. She groans and I jump up and down on her while sitting.
"We get to meet One Direction!" We all scream and her eyes widden. "Are you serious?!" She asks. We all nod and she screams and we all run to the next room, James growing tired of carying me everywhere but eh, it'll do the boy some good.
The reactions were all the same. Mostly screaming and jumping. And crying.
Lily was last and after we all celebrated we collasped on her bed and sighed together all at once and with the biggest grins, looking up at the ceililng. That day was going to be the best day of our lives.

WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...
