Lily Oracle[Completed]

Lily grew up in Atlas with her family, her father rich from a wealthy sum of money given to him from inheritence from his own mother, and her mother more than happy to enjoy the spoils, even as she practiced as a doctor well gifted in the area. As such, she grew up with Alexander Redgrave, and both of their families were more than happy to see their children growing up and playing nice. While her father didn't always enjoy seeing her get along so well with a boy, her mother was more than estactic, and became fast friends with Alex's mother. Being a doctor however also meant that at times, she would be gone quite a lot. Having patients sometimes in rural areas meant she would stay a night or two away from their lavish home, leaving Lily behind to spend that time with her father. As Alex and Lily grew up, and grew closer, her father became more and more....upset as time went on. Viewing Alex as a threat to his daughter, he would often look on as they played with an intense amount of jealousy and contempt for the red haired squirt, who seemed to steal his daughter's affection and time. Time that could better be spent dedicated to her studies.

That all changed when at 13, the boy was no where to be found. At first, Lily wrote it off as something simple. Something completely mundane. But her father saw the opportunity and boy did he take it.  The second Alex disappeared, he scooped his daughter up and her mother, and made a mad break elsewhere.  Just far enough that even if the boy was found alive, he'd be unlikely to find her. Or alternatively, even if he was found alive, his daughter would surely give up on finding him. Lily, of course, was heart broken. And as the two years went by, she dedicated the time she could've spent with the person who made her life like the fairy tales she enjoyed reading. Who tended every wound she ever got. But like hell was her father gonna let her remember him. Not if he had anything to say about it. Instead, she was forced to study. And while she would've done it anyway, now she had a reason to do it. No one was there to "distract" her. But alternatively, now there was not someone there to encourage her either...

An agonizing two years passed. And now at 15, Lily was doing extremely well for herself. Her grades were outstanding. Her parents were proud as all hell. But she still felt empty inside. Her father, having a small moment of weakness, and egged on by his wife needing to tend to patients there, he hauled them all back. And it was the worst mistake he could've possibly made. Because she bumped into him again. And when she did, it was like nothing had ever happened. Like he hadn't disappeared for two whole years. They embraced, and his greatest fear was confirmed as the father stared down at his loving daughter, full of wide eyed concern and even love for that snot nosed red haired freak. As he watched Lily tend to that rotten boy's every scratch and cut, and receive the same affection back, his wife burst in over joyed. Turning his eyes away from the scene of the two kids, he was presented with Lily's acception leter into Syne Academy. Pride momentarily swelled in the father's eyes and chest, before he turned his eyes back to the scene, seeing his precious daughter with that terrible no good boy, and a smirk widened on his face. He hadn't heard anything about the boy getting accepted. And so, thinking his daughter would once again have time away from that snot nosed brat, he embraced his wife and poured her some wine, to celebrate their daughter's success, toasting to a future that for him, would be without the Redgrave Rat.

Lily huffed, as she checked her wrist watch, a decrotive little thing with a pink strap, and golden vines decorating the band. The minute hand was anxiously stuck at the 5 mark, indicating that her friend was well...late. Super, SUPER late. Oh so late. Her lips turned into a thin frown as she groaned, her arm falling to her side as she leaned back in her seat. They were supposed to be grabbing lunch together. At least that's what he'd said they'd be doing. Whenever it was he got ready. He'd said something about having the day off from class, even if, she knew deep down that couldn't have been possible. Not with either of their busy schedules. With another soft huff, she closed her text books, bringing them close to her chest as the waiter appeared by her side, passing her a menu, and asking what she'd like. She would've simply waved him off and assured him that she was leaving but, she just couldn't. Not after seeing the first thing that was passed to her with the dessert menu, ripe with plenty of chocolate wonders for her to taste. Her mouth began to water. Her eyes twinkling in delight as she ordered something girly and super chocolate-y. And when the waiter made note of it, wandering off with the menu in a hurry, her expression fell. She dumped her books back down to the table, as her eyes closed. Where the heck is he? It's been..., her thoughts trailed off as her eyes fell back to her wrist watch, this time signifying that he wasn't just 5 minutes late...but now, 25 minutes late. Her heart fell then.
I can't believe he'd leave me hanging like this! Uggh....Alexander Redgrave! You're gonna GET it when you get here!!
