Zachary, Aurora, Rosily, Lilith, and Carter all stood in front of a bakery in Maryville. No one new them, No one knew where they had come from. Carter who was the youngest at the age of 5 pointed at the cookies and declared he needed them! "I need those Zachary!" Cried Carter. Zachary who was the oldest at the age of 14 told carter the difference of wanting and needing something. "Now Carter, why do you need those?" I need them because I want them, and I Want them now!" Yelled Carter! "Oh Carter" cried Aurora. "Having cookies wouldn't be near as lovely as having some bread and butter!" Aurora was 13 and as beautiful as a flower she acted as the children's mother since they hadn't had one for such a long time. Carter was quiet for a minute, he stood there puzzled with his hand stroking his chin. "Do cookies cost more than bread and butter?" Carter whispered to his other sister Lilith who was 11, he didn't want Aurora to hear him. "Cookies cost more Carter" Lilith giggled. "Aurora we shall buy bread, butter, and those muffins because I know cookies are expensive!" Carter said in proud tone. "Good for you!" Called Zachary who had already walked into the bakery to purchase the fresh goods. Carter grabbed Rosily's hand and dragged her into the bakery for she hadn't spoken a word being the quiet 10 year old.
