The girls walked side by side down the grand corridor, their maids following closely behind them. Behaving as they were taught, Lillian fought the urge to tell Blair about her nightmare, that felt to much like a memory to be just a dream. The same one that she knew ment something to her childhood. Which as it was, was just a blur from the ages of one to five. As soon as they passed, two guards opened the doors to the immaculate dining hall. On her usual seat or throne as Charlotte liked to call it was there Mother. Their maids gave a quick nod to the girls mother and went through a separate corner of the room to go to the maids dining quarters. "Good morning my beautiful girls!" Their mothers voice rang through the dining hall "Good morning Mother! They greeted their mother as usual. With a smile and a kiss on the cheek. None of the girls could remember a time when their mother would give them hugs and kisses, but they didn't mind, it's not like they knew any different. They all sat down again as butlers brought the family their food. Sausage, black pudding, and a glass of water. "You now may eat." Said their mother. The girls mother, known to the fashion industry as Diana Yates, had onyx black hair, pulled back in a tight bun. She wore a floral gown down to her lower thigh and a string with a golden locket at the base of her neck "Now Blair, I see you don't have your hair in a french braid like the rest of the girls, is their a reason for that." Diana said curtly "no mother I assumed" Blair was cut short "you simply assumed, I thought your etiquette lessons would have taught you better, not to be so impulsive!" She shrieked "You are an example for your little sister, as punishment for you foolish actions, no more breakfast for you! Bring me her maid!" In their home, their maids were never addressed by name. The children used their names because it felt like they had another family to rely on. "You" her mother said, murder in her eyes. "Take her upstairs and fix her up. Diana moved to the Head Maid.  "After she is done dole out her punishment as well!" "Yes miss" said the head maid. Their mother was on a rampage again. Soon she pointed at Lillian and Charlotte "Tell your maids I want your beauty routine done this instant! You have a photo shoot again for a magazine and I can't have you looking as you do now!" She screamed. "We always do our beauty routines after breakfast, we didn't know." Spoke up Lillian "You will not disrespect me in this way young lady! Would you like to face your second punishment this week?" Diana said threateningly. "No Mother." "That's what I thought." Said their mother. Sadly, this would not be the last of their mother's rampages that day.
