dawn swan by chelsea johnson (a court of thorns and roses ebook free txt) 📕

Hello my name is dawn swan, I am 17 years old, I have black hair that sits on my shoulders, I also have really weird purple eyes and a body to die for, I am short tempered and crazy as hell when I eat anything with sugar, I love cookies especially double chocolate chip. I live with my mamma (sally) and our dog Rupert he is a lab and is ADORABLE!!! Oh yeah I also have a problem with people touching me I can’t stand it I stiffen or punch them in the face


I walked out of my room and down the stairs when I got to the bottom I heard my mum crying I ran into the living room and looked at my mum
“Dawn?” someone whispered I didn’t take my eyes of her she looked heart broken
“Mamma” I whispered she sobbed as soon as I said mamma “What’s wrong?” I said I took a step back and she looked at me and sobbed again
“MAMMA” I shouted this time my voice was demanding but was still soft and genital she looked at me and shook her head
“Dawn I will explain everything in a minuet if you just listen to me” the voice said again it held authority but was still genital as if he thought I would explode any minuet I turned to face him he was tall and had broad shoulders and a stern face he was wearing a black suit and a white shirt and a black tie he had brown hair with brown eyes I stepped back from him thinking I was in danger
“Dawn there is nothing to be afraid of I promise you” he said “I won’t hurt you” he said sincerely I looked at my mamma and then at the paper on the floor I walked over to it and picked it up
“NO” my mamma shrieked but it was too late I had already read it, it was a contract saying that I would have to marry someone I didn’t know when I turned 18 for 6 grand both my parents had signed it I dropped it and looked at mamma
“How could you?” I whispered “Your only daughter and you sell her off” I screamed at her
“We did it to save your life I’m sorry” she said walking towards me I stepped back and she froze
“Dawn?” she whispered
“You messed everything up, my education, friends, boys, because you knew one day I would have to end it all and move away” I realised the truth behind my own words
“Yes” she mumbled she didn’t even look at me
“LOOK AT ME” I screamed at her she shook her head “WHY” I screamed I couldn’t take it anymore
“Because I rewind your life and I can’t face you” she whispered
“Mamma?” I whispered she didn’t look at me “MAMMA LOOK AT ME NOW” she looked then realising I would lose it any minuet
“What” she whispered her voice cracked
“I forgive you mamma you had to do it to save my life I owe you that much” I whispered she smiled and went to hug me but stopped
“Sorry I forgot” she whispered I smiled at her “Dawn you have to pack you are leaving with Mr Wilson” I nodded and walked upstairs.
I packed everything I only filled two suit cases, I grabbed my small bag and put my laptop, phone, I pod, kindle, and skittles and COOKIES of course then I had a shower and dressed in skin coloured tights, short shorts, tank top with spaghetti straps and a hoodie, with my convers then I walked downstairs and handed my bags over well except my small one I held that close to me I walked over to my mamma and took a deep breath and put my arm round her she squeezed me then let go knowing I was uncomfortable when she touched me.
“Bye mamma I’ll visit soon” I yelled as I sat in the limo I had my bag on my lap and as soon as the door’s closed I opened my bag and grabbed a bag of skittles out if it I chuckled an evil chuckle and started eating them and before I knew it I had finished the pack I frowned and looked at Mr Wilson
“Do you….” He cut me off
“No I do not have any skittles and even if I did I wouldn’t tell you where they are” he said grinning I jumped on him and pinned him to the limo floor
“SKITTLES” I shouted he pushed me off of him and opened the door and we got on a plane and as soon as I saw a lady my hand shot up she looked at me and turned around I sat there bouncing up and down and waving my hand like a mad man, the lady rolled her eyes and walked over to us
“Yes?” she asked
“DO you have any coke?” I asked as politely as I could she walked back and two minuet’s later she came out and handed me a coke and as soon as she turned her back Mr Wilson took it off me
“HEY” I snapped “That’s mine get your own”
“You are hyper enough as it is” he smiled I pouted and sat back when we eventually landed we got into another limo and this limo had cookies I grabbed one and ate it then spat it back out I heard Mr Wilson chuckling behind me
“What is that” I spat
“A cookie” he said it like it was obvious
“NO that is an INSULT TO COOKIES EVERYWHERE” I shouted I turned and saw the drinks and saw coke I giggled and opened it and drained half the coke before he took it off me I grinned mischievously at him he sighed and took out his phone
‘Hello son can you put mum on for me good lad’ he said I smiled
He was silent for a minuet
‘Honey can you hide all the sweet stuff please and anything that contains sugar’ my jaw hit the floor he didn’t? No he wouldn’t
He was silent again
‘Because she gets hyper and she is hyper enough’ he stated I glared at him he went their
He was silent then smiled
‘Thank you honey we will be home in 10 minuets’
‘Yep bye love you’ he said then hung up with a smile on his face I glared at him until we stopped he got out and so did I, I glared at him the whole way to the house he turned to face me and chuckled when he saw my face
“Dawn, are you ready to meet your husband?” he asked
“I’m not married yet nimrod” I said still glaring at him he chuckled he walked in to the house and I followed him in he stopped when we reached the kitchen and told me to stay there I grinned at him then he frowned realising what I would do if he left me alone
“Benjamin” he called and a little boy around 10 came in
“Dad your back” he beamed at his dad and I couldn’t help but smile at him
“Yes I need you to watch dawn for me” his son turned to me and his face lit up “Don’t let her have anything with sugar in it got it” he dad said sternly Benjamin nodded and grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the living room I stiffened like usual but he didn’t pay attention to it I heard voices coming from there and stopped
“Come on” Benjamin pulled me forward but I refused to move
“Can we stay in the kitchen I need a drink” I said he nodded and I relaxed he poured me a glass of coke and just as I was about to take a sit Mr Wilson took it and drank it right in front of me I pouted
“HEY” I shouted at him once he finished the whole glass
“You are hyper enough DAWN” he shouted back Benjamin stepped back and his dad glared at him I stepped in front of Benjamin
“I poured it while he was in the bathroom” I stated not wanting to get Benjamin in trouble
“Sorry son” his dad said I smiled and sat down on the chair and huffed
“Henry?” a voice called ahh so Mr Wilson’s first name is henry I smirked evilly at him
“Yes charlotte, I am in the kitchen” I heard footsteps and turned to face the door their stood an beautiful women in her 30’s she didn’t have a single wrinkle and was dressed in a suit just like him she saw me and a smile spread across her lips
“Hello dawn my name is charlotte” she smiled holding out her hand I pulled the hoodie over my hand and shook her hand so we didn’t touch skin she looked confused but didn’t ask I smiled at her politely
“It’s a pleasure to meet you” I said smiling at her
“My son is very excited to meet you” I nodded not trusting my voice she grabbed my arm and I stiffened she let me go as soon as she realised and told me to follow her so I did but I stopped just before I reached the living room
“Dawn come in” she smiled at me I shook my head I couldn’t get my body to move “They don’t bite” she reassured me I couldn’t do it I felt like I couldn’t breathe I was pushed from behind and saw Benjamin he grabbed my hand ignoring feeling me stiffening
“I’m here with you” he whispered I nodded and let him pull me forward I took a deep breath and Benjamin tightened his hold on my hand my breathing evened out and my heart slowly slowed to its normal pace we took two more steps and I was now visible to everyone they could all see me I heard some people take an intake of breath but I felt peaceful it was Benjamin he was calming me and as soon as I realised this Benjamin hand loosened a bit, I looked at the three guys who were staring at me with wide eyes I looked at henry and charlotte who looked happy
“Have I got something on my face?” I asked the boys laughed and Benjamin tightened his hand in me so hard I squeaked in pain
“BENJAMIN LET GO YOUR HURTING HER” someone shouted my vision blurred and I collapsed on the floor suddenly the pain vanished and I took a shaky breath I felt people picking me up and I tried to get free
“She doesn’t like being touched” someone said the person who was carrying me put me on the sofa and I instantly relaxed my vision was slowly coming back so I closed my eyes then opened them I did this 10 times then finally I could see Benjamin was looking at me with pain and sorrow in his eyes and the guys looked shocked
“I’m so, so, so very sorry” Benjamin whispered looking down I smiled at him
“Benjamin it wasn’t your fault you calmed me down and the moment they started laughing it’s as if you knew how I would feel and you stopped it you calmed me down Bennie” I whispered he looked up at
