Stop It! My Heart Can't Take It

Sky

"I really must be leaving ma'dam." Zane says.

"Oh so soon?" I tease.

Zane gave a little bow and turned to walk away.

"Well." I say loudly after him, "Be careful with that sword. Wouldnt want anybody to get hurt now would we."

He turns and I can almost feel kim smiling under that mask. What a peculiar man. Theres somithing...Diffrent about him. I smirk after him and continue on my way to my destination. I enter a small, rundown bakery and close the old door behind me.

"Marrie!" I call out. "I'm back!"

"Oh yes darling, verry good!" Marrie said, walking out of the kitchen, nearly covered with flower. "Did you get the ingredient I asked you for?"

"Im sorry Ma'. They were all out." I tell her.

"Oh thats quite alright dearie." She smiled.

Marrie was my, well stepmother, in a way. She adopted me at the age of seven. Marrie was a dainty little woman. Fairly old too. She had curly white hair that fell just below her shoulders, but she looked good and was young at heart. Marrie had always wanted children, but never got around to it, so when she heard about Sky, she was glad to adopt her. Since then Marrie had adopted three other children. Sky was the oldest. The next child was Charlie who was sever, followed by his twin sister Chloe. The third was Jenna, who was four.

"So do you need any help in the kitchen today Ma'ma? Or shall I try and find the twins, the little rascals are probably causing rucus all over town again. How about Jen? How is she doing?" I ask Marrie before she goes back in to the kitchen.

"Oh your fine sweetie. Little Jenna did ask me though, she wanted to see you as soon as you were home. She wants to braid your hair again." Marrie smiled and disappeared into the kitchen.

I smile as I climb the stairs and call out to Jen, waiting for her to come running.
