Pearl ✔️

Chapter 1

I brushed my little brother's wet curls and looked out of the window at the beautiful valley, they say we're lucky to live in such a decent place.

Copperville isn't exactly the fairest place, we live in 3 sections and we are ruled by a queen. Section 1 is where the royal family lives amongst the other nobles, section 2 is the place that has the scientists, technicians, and many other experts in different fields.

Section 3 is where I live and it's where the slaves live to put it bluntly, farmers live here with shoemakers, bakers and these other professions.

Quite fair, right?

Once I finished styling his hair, I grinned at him and handed him the comb as he smiled lightly.

"There, all done" I announced, he looked at himself in the small mirror and gave me a toothy smile with a big hug.

"Thank you! Pearl! This looks awesome"

"Your welcome, kiddo, now go or you'll be late for school"

He rolled his doe brown eyes and kissed my cheek before grabbing his copybook and heading to school.

"Bye, Pearl!"

"Good luck, Theo!"

My brother, Theo was everything to me. He was only 11 years old and still had a lot to learn about life. My parents were bakers, they made the best pastries in all 3 sections.

Speaking of, I sniffed the air as the smell of cinnamon wafted in the air. Running to the kitchen I saw my mother pulling out a tray of cinnamon rolls out of the oven then wiping the sweat off her forehead.

My mouth watered and I approached it cautiously, trying not to make a sound as I tried to steal one of the yummy goodness.

"Those aren't for you, Pearl"

I groaned, busted "Mother, please it looks so good"

She laughed "There is another tray in the living room"

Oh man, she knew me too well.

After I had 2 rolls, my mother brought a nicely wrapped box and handed it to me carefully.

"Take this to section 1, darling. It's for the queen"

I nodded and grabbed my coat off the hanger stepping into the cold winter air "Say hello to papa for me when he gets home okay?"

Mom smiled softly "I will darling, take care my little pearl"

I took the box and left thinking to myself amusingly, she's not so little anymore, mother.
