Steph's Curse

Chapter 6

"Good Morning!" Flare ran over to my bed.
"Why so early?" I moaned.
"Um, those guys are pigs! We get up early to have a breakfast. So come on!" Flare tried to pull me out of my bed.
"Fine! I'm up!" I got out of bed.
"Get dressed, so you can come with us after breakfast." Abby told me.
They were both dressed and they looked like they were gonna run outside.
So I quickly got dressed and put my hair in a ponytail. Slipped my shoes on and left with Flare and Abby.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We ate and we left the "gangster town".
We were in the village, walking looking at the shops we pasted by.
" So, Flare. How long have you been at the place?" I asked, I didn't want to call it "Gangster Town" in front of them.
"Oh, we call it Ryan's Hideout. He's actually started it. So it seems right to name it after him, right?" Flare semi-answered.
I nodded.
"Well, I've been there for about two years. Abby joined shortly after. And I think Caroline's been there for about seven years, when the place actually started." Flare answered.
"Yeah, me and Flare have been roomies since I joined." Abby smiled.
I'm glad there are some cool people at the Hideout.
We walked into a shop that sold fabric. The clerk looked in his middle Thirty's.
"Hey girls. What are you going to buy today?" He asked.
"What's new?" Flare asked and leaned on the counter.
"I got this pretty green fabric today, its about three gold pieces a yard." He said handing us the fabric.
This looks like the fabric on the dress I wore on my birthday... I think a tear slipped down my cheek cause Flare and Abby looked at me strangely.
I quickly wiped my cheek and looked at the other fabrics.
Abby and Flare left the fabric and bought a pretty orange fabric.
We left the shop, but two guys walked by, they said:
"One million gold coins for the return of the princess! Wow!" One of them said.
"Yeah, the guards are looking around near by villages. I wonder how long till they reach here..." The other one said and continued walking.
I dropped the Flare and Abby's bag.
"Are you sure your okay?" Abby looked concerned.
"Yeah..." My voice trembled.
"Let's get back to Ryan's." Flare suggested.
"No!" I said hurriedly.
They looked at me.
"Cause... This is my first time here, could you show me around?" I asked.
"Sure." Abby and Flare said in unison.
-------------------------------------------------------------
We walked around the village until a little while after noon. We got something small for lunch. Then we headed home.
I was in my room and unpacked my stuff I bought today. I got a new bracelet, it was a silver band with a butterfly charm. I put it on. I also got a new sketch pad to take my mind off of home.
Flare got some fabric and a book.
Abby got like three books and two writing pads.
I went to the dining hall to eat. I scanned the room to find William. I sat next to him.
"Hey Will!" I said cheerfully.
"Hey Steph!" He said back.
"These are my friends, Gerald, Harry, Peter and that little guy is Denis." He pointed to everybody when he said their names.
"Hi, as you know. I'm Steph, Wills younger sister." I said waving.
"Well, I'm gonna eat with my friends. See ya later." I said.
I left their table and sat with Abby and Flare.
"Where's Caroline?" I asked.
"Geez, why are you so concerned with Caroline?" Flare asked annoyed.
"Yeah." Abby added.
"I was just curious." I said quietly.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I left for my room after I was finished eating. I changed into long pants and a tee-shirt, and took off my bracelet. I climbed into bed and fell asleep.
