《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.....

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

The Electric Archipelago (WIP)
This is the first draft of my new cyberpunk novel, The Electric Archipelago. In the future humanity is imprisoned by massive corporations. Computers are directly connected to their brains, creating a nightmarish state of absolute control, every action is monitored and harshly judged. Perhaps worst of all, the victim's perception of reality itself is controlled. A system of social credit hangs over everyone's heads. If you want to survive you will need to pick a company and stay loyal to that brand. But it goes beyond that, because each corporation has been infiltrated and taken over by forces that are interested in more than just profit. John is a Skinwalker, a free man, a man who is immune to these restrictions. He goes where he wants and does what he wants, moving from one augmented reality to the next, always looking for the next score.
