"Seriously,bread and jam again?!" Whined Petal turning her bread over and over, drenching it with strawberry jam. "Eat up Redstone." Sniggered Clarissa Smith. Clarissa Amelia Smith was Petal's arch-enemy. Clarissa was the same age as Axel (10) but acted like she was 16 and treated Petal like trash.

"Shut up Clarissa! Go to the nether and ask a ghast to spit fireballs at you!" Petal shrieked Clarissa looked stunned and the whole dining room was in a shocked silence while Petal continued her rant. All that time locked in attic,closets and kitchens had turned the 8-year-old into a hothead.

"I hope Matron Hateheart learns what you really are, a snake,a monster,a blonde-haired,blue-eyed devil!" Petal screeched. While Petal was screaming her head off,Clarissa was pinching and scratching herself really hard so she looked like she'd been brutally attacked. She'd always done this so she could get Petal into trouble. She was Matron's favourite and Matron always believed her and her unjust lies.

"What is going on in here!" shrieked Matron Loveheart's voice as she marched in the dining room. "Petal,Axel and Jessica Redstone,my office, NOW! Clarissa had decided now was the time show her fake bruises to Matron. "Matron,Petal scratched and pinched me really hard! Clarissa cried. "Thank-you Clarissa,Petal will be punished,carry on with your supper now.

As for you three,come this instant!"

"What's happening?" Jessica asked. But the other two couldn't answer,they didn't to scare Jessica,she'd only just came out of the nursery section of the orphanage and wouldn't get it.

Axel and Petal on the other hand had been through this plenty of times,they were yelled at and thrown into different rooms.

Matron swept behind her desk and pulled out a piece of paper almost triumphantly. The paper was horrifyingly familiar, Axel's plan for escaping!

"Well?" said Matron waving the paper under Axel's nose. "Any explanation?"

"NO!" screamed Petal

"Excuse me, Petal!" Matron cried in shock,clearly alarmed that someone had answered back.

"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AN ANSWER FROM US! ARE YOU DEAF? Matron had just about got her breath back. "Then how about an explanation for attacking Clarissa?"

"I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HER! FOR ALL I CARE,SHE PROBABLY PINCHED AND SCRATCHED HERSELF! YOU BELIEVE HER BECAUSE SHE'S YOUR FAVOURITE!" Petal screamed uncontrollably. Both Axel and Jessica were staring at their sister's outburst.

"RIGHT! Just for that,Petal, you three are in different rooms for a week! Jessica,closet down the hallway,Petal,abandoned kitchen and Axel,you in the basement with the rats! Such a shame,Petal,that your dear sister and brother have to share your punishment.

"YOU CAN'T PUT US IN THERE!" Petal cried desperately.

"Oh yes I can Petal, I will not tolorate violence or rudeness in here,DO YOU UNDERSTAND,YOUNG LADY!

Author's note

Recently I got a review saying that someone read a story just like mine.

Well,the thing is, Sapphire-Jessica and The Princess of Pink are the same person!

That's right! I'm not copying Sapphire-Jessica,I'm actually just typing down my own stories. I couldn't get in Sapphire-Jessica, so made a new user.

So yeah that's it for now
