Okay, I read a book awhile ago about a girl in the 1890's. It's called a coal miners bride, so I am using the plot of the story with the twilight characters. Enjoy.
I OWN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
I heard the rain on our thatched roof. It is so cold; I wish I had chopped more wood. Everything has been so difficult since dad moved to America and when mother died. I live in Poland where the Czar has taken over. There are soldiers everywhere and they are burning the shops of the Jewish people in my town. I am just a plain Jane. Brown hair and brown eyes. No one will want me without a dowry or something. And I am 15, a woman and not even married! I might die and old maid!
"Why don't you go to the village and sell some of the eggs that our chickens have just laid. We will be needing the money to buy more livestock" Grandma Marie had told me.
"Yes grandma" I was blessed by knowing polish English and Russian. My mother had taught us those languages just in case we make it to America.
As I was walking in town I saw that Mr. Herman's shop had caught fire. Why must they punish the Jews?
I saw a solider standing in the corner of the street, I went up to him and spoke in my terrible Russian, "Why are soldiers so cruel? Is it entertaining to watch other people suffer?"
As I said this I got a good look at him, he had bronze hair like the copper tub we bathe in. And he had such beautiful eyes! They were green like the rich women's necklaces with green emeralds. His sparkled!
In polish he said," You are a spitfire woman are you not? I have nothing against the Jews, but you have something against the czar, don't you?"
"Yes I do. He won't let me teach my polish and he made my father leave us."
He looked at me and said" What is your name spitfire?"
I looked at him and started walking away, but over my shoulder and said," Bella, Bella swan"
He smiled and yelled after me" EDWARD, EDWARD CULLEN!"
I sighed. I did not want to know a solider not at all!
What do you think?
