《Behind the Camera's (Hiddleston/Cumberbatch Fan Fiction) (Wattys 2014 #11)》Bitter Mother
Advertisement
My Sister is staying with us until the house is finalized.
She has been a great help, although she has been pestering about mum.
I have agreed to see her with the kids today.
Mum and i have never seen eye to eye.
I always felt like the child she never wanted.
I was the one that was left out, which is one of the reasons i was so close to my father.
Laura was her first child and my brother her youngest and only son although that wasn't really true.
But i was just the middle child, she treated me differently than them.
Laura and i are sitting at a cafe table with isabella and the triplets.
"You won't regret this you know" My sister says.
"Well you can think that if you want" i tell her.
Just then our mother walks in.
She has brought dad.
I sigh with relief.
Laura raises an eyebrow.
"Mum" She says standing up and hugging her.
"Hello Dad" I smile.
"Hi Kiddo" He says.
"I've missed you" I say hugging him.
"I've missed you too Kid" He says.
Then i turn to mum.
"Hello Mother" I say hugging her.
The hug is brief.
"So are these are grandchildren, by god Isabella has grown. What have you called them?" My mother asks me.
"John, Rose and Diana" I say.
"Rose is named after a good friend and Diana is after Tom's mother" I add.
"Isn't that lovely dear" My father says to my mother.
"Yes" She says with a forced smile.
We all sit down again.
"So i heard your turning into quite the film star now" My father says.
I laugh.
"I wouldn't say that just yet Dad. I only just finished filming my first proper film" I tell him.
"Well we have already seen a trailer and it is in the news a lot. Your becoming quite a star i would say" He says

"Well as long as people enjoy my work thats all that matters" I smile.
"How much are they paying you?" My mother asks.
"Excuse me" I say.
" How much are they paying you for the film?" My mother asks.
"I do not see how it is any of your business" I say.
"Please guys. Lets not argue. We will all be a proper soon once i move back" She smiles.
Oh my god i forget.
I gulp.
"What?" my sisters says.
"Well i meant to tell you a long time ago but what with the movie and me getting pregnant again..It may have slipped my mind" I say.
"What is it, Sarah" She says.
"Tom and i are moving" I say.
"Wait what!. But i am just coming back" She says.
"But there is more" I say.
"Sarah..Where are you moving to" She says.
I grit my teeth.
"Australia" I muffle.
"What?" She says.
"Australia" I sigh.
"You...What!. No are you saying, i am moving away from there to be closer to you, only to find out that your moving there" She says.
"I am sorry. I should have told you sooner. I know but..."
"No Sarah. Just don't say another world" She says getting up and leaving.
I sigh putting my hand through my hair.
"Well well done" My mother says.
" What. How many times can i say i am sorry" I say.
" You always were the odd one out weren't you. Always the one to cause the trouble. I mean look at you. Not even 30 yet you have 4 kids with two different fathers and well that is another story. You just bring trouble don't you. Your nothing like your sibling there are so much better" She says to me.

I look at her gobsmacked.
"How...How can you say that" I stand up, tears beginning to form..
"Do you see your grandchildren there" I say.
"Of course" She says.
"Well do you know why one of them is called Diana?" I say.
"Because thats the name of Tom's mother. I am not stupid" She says.
"But it is a lot more than that. Diana was a good mother to Tom. She was there for him. More than you ever were for me, one of the reason none of my children have you name and i hope to god that none of them resemble you in anyway shape or form because you are a horrible horrible woman and i do not see what my father ever saw in you" I say grabbing the Buggy.
My father smiles at me.
"Come on Isa darling. Goodbye Dad" I say kissing his forehead.
"Good bye Darling" He smiles.
"I am proud of you" He whispers.
"I know" I smile.

When i get back Laura is un packing her things.
"Please Laura. Your over reacting" I say to her.
"No Sarah. I need to get away. I need to think. I changed my whole life for you and it turns out you wont even be here" She says.
"Well i agreed to see mum for you and look where that got us. She just told me that i am basically the child she dislikes the most. She is disappointed in me for being the person i chose to be" i cry.
"I am sorry. I am not perfect. I am sorry i can not be you. But i am happy. I just wish she, you and everyone could understand that" I say leaving the room.
After about 10 minutes she comes back into the living room and sits back down next to me.
"I do not think you are a failure. Your the most successful one of the lot. I know mother can not be the most sensitive person. Just ignore her. I will always be there for you whether your here or in Australia" She says.
"Really?" I say.
"Really" She says hugging me.
"Good day girls?" Tom asks coming through.
"You have no ideas" I say to him.
"Your mother, i take it" He says.
"I can't believe i am saying this but i hate her" I say.
"Hey!. Thats my mother too" Laura says.
I laugh.....

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Blue Mage Strives for the Level Cap! Adapt!
After being invited to participate in the Beta run of a new Full-Immersion Virtual Reality RPG, Ardacen Winters and 1999 others learn that it is also a race to reach the level cap of one hundred. The prizes are grand, but the chance to be the first players in this new game might be worth more than the prizes themselves. This is a Lit-RPG, a humble homage to all the others who precede it and hopefully an inspiration to anyone with a story in their own head that needs to be shared.
