Heart's Desire

Chapter 7

Writer block is no fun! I really don't get this. I mean, I try really hard to write what is in my brain. But then I have these block were I can't write anything. It is so unfair. I know that the hero is suppose to be "dead". That he didn't escape. So right now I'm stuck not knowing how to get my main charater out of the city. I think that I am going to take all of Tuesday to catch up. I have to fin this out. And soon! I can't stay stuck like this!

She was leaving. She had had enough of this life. Nothing in Tera tempted her any more. It was all too small. All the overflowing garbage cans on all the streets in all the Kingdom couldn't tempt her to stay now that she held her dreams come true in her hands.

"Read it again" squealed Sae.

"Yes, again! Again!" said Ada.

"To the bearer upon demand will be given their hearts desire signed the Prince." Myka read out loud again. All three of the sister sighed.

"It even has the royal crest impressed right below the name," said Myka. She turned the paper around to show them the crest. Sae and Ada both graded for it. Myka swiftly hid it in one of her many pockets before their dirty fingers came anywhere near the pristinely white piece of paper. Myka had carefully uncrumpled it once she was out of the Town Hall. There had not been a spot on it. It was still like new except for the fact that there was writing on it. Important writing. Writing that could make them all rich. No, more than rich. It was the secret to all their dreams come true.

"Give the note here" growled Sae. She grabbed Myka by the coat and shook her.

"No" "Give it to me!" shouted Ada. She grabbed Myka's other side . Myka was being pulled in two different directions.

"Why?" asked Myka, "Give me one good reason why I should trust you with it!"

"I want to read it!" replied Sae.

"I want to read it too" said Ada.

"No," stated Myka. The tow of them let go of her to glare at her.

"Why?"

"You can't read" said Myka, "Neither of you can!"

"How do we know you can?" retorted Sae. "Maybe your just making it up!"

"Yeah, maybe your just making it up!" said Ada.

"I am not!" muttered Myka. She was past mad now. How could they doubt her like that? They were her sisters after all. They should trust that she was only looking out for them. It was totally unfair that they were being like this. They needed to have more faith in her.

"It doesn't matter! I'm not showing it to you no matter how much you beg," said Myka.

"I'm not going," said Sae.

"Me neither!" said Ada.

"I don't care what you two decide to do" Myka stated, "I'm leaving with or without you. " She took a brief breath. She had been yelling. It wasn't something she was use to these days.

"If you want to live your life in s pile of trash with nothing else to look forward to then table scraps for the next three hundred years then go right ahead. But not me. I'm going to the Kingdom and nothing is going to stop me."

She turned then and started walking away from the trash cans that she had called home for the last three months. Her life here was at an end. No more would she dig through garbage for meals. No more would she draw warmth in the night from rats that wiggled their way inside her cloths. No more would she eat crumbs of the side walk. From now own she would have it all. She would have a house. She would eat food hot from being cooked. She would even have a cat to keep mice and rats away! Yes, life way changing. Her life would be very different from now on. All she had to do was take these first steps forward. She would have to lease Tera. It was the only place she had ever know. There was a world our side of it. That was what she had to discover. All it took was these first steps to start her on her way.

"You'll die before you get there," Sae shouted after her.

"Yes, yes die, die" Ada repeated. The words echoed off the building walls.

"Are you going to repeat everything I say?" Myka heard Sae say.

"Ouch" said Ada. Sae must have punched her.

"No, I do not repeat everything" said Ada. There were more words that followed but Myka couldn't hear them. She was too far down the alley. In a matter of

She got up and left then. She did not look back as she crossed the street. For the first time in her life she walked in the light of the street as she left the city. She passed the buildings and streets she had lived on all her life without a second glance. That corner was were she had first tried moldy bread. This corner was were she had spend a whole summer in shade for the first time. There, under that overpass her and her sisters had survived every winter in Tera. It all meant nothing now. She was holding her lucky ticket in her left front pocket. She was a true lottery winner.
