Chapter 2: The family’s name

Jana knew who was knocking on the door,but she decided to ignore. Jewel and her goody two butt had come to show her fake compassion for her,but she was not in the mood for that at the moment. “Arrggghh!” She yelled in anger as she tossed her lamp stand to the floor. Can’t father just scold me without bringing in that little miss righteous butt bitch into it? Why can’t he ever acknowledge me?

Once,only once I wanted father to acknowledge me,but he has never for once. She screamed again s she scattered her reading table in anger. He loved Jewel because she agreed to live her life for him.  But she Jana had always been considered the black sheep right from childhood. Father never gave her a chance to redeem herself,not once ever since that incident on the day she and Jewel clocked five years.

Father never seemed to have forgiven her since then,and she was so sure that Jewel hated because of it,but she was pretending to be all nice. She screamed some more when she realised that she had to be somewhere to e with her friends,and dad had grounded her. This day was getting more worse than she expected. She raged as she scattered her bed in anger. Darn the royal blood in her! Why couldn’t she be allowed to live her life the way she wants without worrying about disgracing her family?

Jewel stood at the door waiting for her sister to open the door for her.

Then she heard a sound of something falling on the floor,and she knew that her sister had thrown down the lamp stand that normally sat on her table. She sighed and opened the door and stood,watching as her sister made a complete mess of the room that he knew a maid in the palace had taken so much time and strength to arrange. Selfish brat. You always do things to gather pity and attention. Do you not realise that this is someone’s hard work that you have just ruined in your stupid fit of unrighteous anger. She thought to herself as she carefully walked and crossed over the broken stuffs that sat on the floor.

“You do know,that breaking things and scattering this room,isn’t going to make father change his mind about you being grounded.” She said finally and waited for her sister to turn around and face her.Jana turned around and looked at the one person that blood ties required her to love,but whom she hated and resented so much. “What do you want,Jewel? Here to rub it in my face that I have been grounded,and that I ought to act like you?” She asked,her voice laced with bitterness that stung Jewel in the heart. What have I ever done to this sister of mine that made her to hate me with such vigour. No matter how i think hard,I can’t find it in my memory. If anything,she ought to stop hating me by now seeing how I  have constantly tried to fix things with her. Jewel pushed away the gust of pain that threatened to envelope her and smiled at her. “I am not here to scold you,Jana.I do not ever scold you. If telling you the truth regards as scolding,then so be it. Sit. I’m here to treat your wound.” Jewel said and Jana scoffed.

“Typical of you,Jewel. Have you grown long wings that you think you can waltz into my room and do as you like?Ordering me around now?” She spat back to Jewel with disdain and Jewel decided that she had had enough of Jana’s nonsense. “Why do you lays think the worst of me? I am here,putting my school activity in jeopardy because I want to treat MY sister’s injury. Do you have to always see me as the bad person? For anything,if there’s anybody who should be mad in this palace,it ought to be me,Jana. Me. You constantly put Father,and more so the whole Royal family to shame because of your stupid adventures. You think you have right to get angry at me? Tell me,Jana.  Tell me that one thing that Father ever did wrong to you.” Jewel said with fire in her eyes.

She had decided that she was done with Jana. Jana looked at her sister with shock at first and then smiled cockily. “Showing your true colours now,huh sis? You no longer pretend to be an innocent sheep,who solely loves her sister,and doesn’t silently resent here?” Jana asked and Jewel rolled her eyes.  “Get over it,Jana. If there e anyone making an accusation concerning the topic of unnecessary resentment,It ought to be me. You resent for stupid reasons only best known to you,and it used to bother me. But not any more. You are just a selfish brat that wants to live life without thinking about the consequences that comes with them.” Jewel said and put her hands at akimbo.

“And what is so bad about wanting to live life,huh? Answer me Jewel. You think pretending to be a nice obedient child is what life is all about? Wake up,Jewel.” Jana replied. “No,you wake the fuck up,Jana Thorne. You think life is all about going to clubs,playing truant when it comes to your studies,and constantly engaging yourself in activities that Jeopardize the Family’s name,especially our father. Do you ever wonder what people go about saying about our father because off you foolish unthinkable attitudes. You are a royalty for crying out loud,Jana,grow up.” Jewel said angrily. “You are the reason I am this way. All I want from Dad is for him to acknowledge me. But every time,all he does is compare me with you.” Jana said and pushed Jewel’s shoulder. Jewel pushed Jana back and scoffed angrily.

“I am the reason? You always have to blame somebody for your stupid actions. Its all-right blame it all on me,Jana. If that’s going to make you feel less guilty,why not? I’ll be happy to let you blame me. But listen to me carefully,For al its worth and in the name of anything precious you hold dear to your heart,Avoid puling stupid stunts that hurt Father.You will be the reason for his death at this rate.” Jewel said,tired of this somewhat pointless argument that she was having with her sister. Jana was never going to listen to her at this rate. She started to walk out of the room. Then she turned back and faced her sister.”I truly love you,Jana.It is up to you to believe me. Take care of your wound with the first aid materials in the box,before it becomes infected.” She finished and walked out of the room. She walked to the dining room and wondered what the time was.
