I do remember what it was like way back. Dwelling in the past is useless, as most people believe.
be the cutthroats
But I’m the cutthroat with a story, and a reason I am the one who would help bring down the dark man, the Rogue of Montagi.
“You’re it Ted!” I bellowed, a big smile on my thin face.
I stuck tongue out at him and ran out of the room,
I heard, my dad behind me.
dug my heels into the ground and spun to face my father.
I can hear it from down the block.”
“Time for dinner you two.” she said.
she said taking my list.
“Yes, my Pa. But I ain’t supposed to know.” I said, eyes widening.
Ten minutes passed before I dare to peek into the alley,
a sword protruding from his chest.
“Y’ur on my bailiwick. I dun take kindly to ‘em strang’rs” he replied.
and I dun’no what I have to do anymore.”
I do remember what it was like way back. Dwelling in the past is useless, as most people believe. For me, it is what shaped me and formed me to be the cutthroats feared in the night. But I’m the cutthroat with a story, and a reason I am the one who would help bring down the dark man, the Rogue of Montagi.
“You’re it Ted!” I bellowed, a big smile on my thin face.
“You did not ca’ch me! Don’t lie Krissy!” he said, scampering away.
“Don’t be a dirty cheater Ted.” I laughed, as I clambered after him.
I stumbled through the mud to catch up with my older brother. He laughed as he kicked up the dirt. I roared in disappointment, as he got farther away from me, vanishing inside before I’d turned into the street. I rammed through the door chasing Ted up the stairs. He laughed as I tackled him to the ground.
“You’re so silly Krissy.” He chuckled, pulling me to my feet.
I stuck tongue out at him and ran out of the room,
“You’re it!” I shouted over my shoulder, slamming the door behind me.
I heard Ted holler some profanities as he struggled with the door. I pounded down the stairs and sprinted for the door, yanking it open and turning into the street.
“My goodness Krissy, you’re goin’ to level this house down.” I heard, my dad behind me.
dug my heels into the ground and spun to face my father.
“Pa! You’re finally home!” I exclaimed, throwing my arms around him.
“You and y’ur brother hav’ been tearing down the house again, I can hear it from down the block.”
I looked up abashed at Pa, at that moment I winked to Pa and Ted jumped onto his back.
“Oh, you li’le liars!” my father laughed, swaying. “Perfect team of little criminals if you ask me.”
And with that I was under my Pa’s arm like a loaf of bread and he carried us back inside. We giggled and squirmed in his iron grip, before he plunked us down on the rug.
“Now behave!” he said, in a false scowl.
We giggled and lay down on our backs. I looked at Ted and stuck my tongue out at him again, poking him in the ribs. He shook his ebony hair out of his face and smiled, tickling me. I squirmed away from him sniggering. Ma came to get us, Emily in her arm.
I hopped up and took little Emily in my slender arms.
She was fast asleep, as usual; her milky face blushed with pink. I beamed at her and tickled her chin, cooing at her. She open her oval blue eyes, she was quite the beautiful baby. I carried her to her crib before running to the table.
I plopped down, a bowl of soup in front of me. A few vegetables floated around in the soup, I ate up hungrily. Pa pulled a thick, crispy loaf out of his bag and placed it in front of us. We all grinned at him, tearing large pieces of the loaf and plopping it into our mouths. The bread was still warm, Pa was a baker and his bread was the best around, he always brought us a treat for supper.
“Share these with your brother.” He whispered in my ear.
“What are the sheets Pa?” I asked.
Pa pulled them away quickly, accidently dropping them all over the floor. I fell to my knees and gathered them for him. I took a peek at the top sheet, wondering what they were my childish curiosity. It was a sketch of a room, with a throne in the middle. There were tables on the sides, labeled ‘Gambling area’ in my father’s messy script. Pa yanked the papers out of my hand and shooed me to bed. I stomped up the stairs, tearing off my dress tunic and pulling out the messy braid in my hair.
She open her oval blue eyes, she was quite the beautiful baby.
“Now off to bed you too. You have to get up tomorrow, it’s market day.”
I stood in front of every few stalls, eyeing every item I could possibly afford, I sighed sadly when each item was much more then one copper. I walked away from the stalls glumly, swaying the basket from side to side. A strange young woman was one of the last stalls, her face showed only her profile.
