Another girl has also been awake since 6:00 AM. She was attempting to climb over the stacks of junk on the floor. Junk that includes magazine subscriptions, junk mail, old and worn clothes. And a variety of things that should have been thrown out.
She has been trying to leave the apartment so she can be out longer. She was praying that her mother would not wake up. As her mother is very hungover. She went one a bender last night. Her mother used the money to buy booze.The money the council gave her to spend on food.
Oh what she'd do for a loaf of bread. She sees the door and carefully turned the doorknob and ran out the door. Today she was lucky her mother did not wake up. The girl of 12 years old ran out of the run down apartment complex.
She did not care about waking up her neighbors. So much for breakfast.
"Ok Megan time to steal breakfast maybe Frollos stupid chicken is dying and needs to be puts out of its misery. Or Claudette is going to be stupid and leaves her eggs unattended" she schemes. She knows to do it in her head because other villain kids may get the same idea and she won't get what she wants.
Megan kicked a can down the sidewalk.
"What are you talking about stupid, maybe thier is a bit of food in their" Megan peers into the rusty can. It was empty at the bottom.
"Damn it" Megan tossed the can aside. Not caring. Her stomach was not happy at all.
"Oh shut up stomach" Megan whispers aggressively.
Megan sees a girl in a plain black dress,purple shoes caked with mud, red stockings that look like they've seen better days and with crazy black hair. The girl looks to be about six or seven years old. On her person was a basket of eggs and crosses.
"Good morning Megan" the girl smiles. She was trying to be friendly.
"Hey Claudette, is your stupid chicken dead yet?" Megan asked, not even bothering to say hello. Megan takes six of Claudettes eggs. Claudette is ignoring it because she seemed hungry. Claudette is hungry to, but she's been sucking it up.
"No Megan but the chicken is nearly dead, I've tried to ask to ask grandfather if we could put the thing out of its misery. But he said only god could do that" Claudette explained, rather sad for the animals suffering even though she has four other chickens at home.
"Damn, Claudette your old man is a stick in the mud. How did he get sent to the isle of the lost anyway? Did he sing too loud in church? Or did he steal a gumball when he was six?"
"Actually Megan, my grandfather burned a girl at the stake. The only problem is that stupid hunchback stopped him" Claudette explained trying to be being sassy.
"I already know that stupid" Megan retorts to Claudette.
"MOVE IT KID" a voice shouts from behind and a large boy shoves Megan from behind. Megan fell on the ground onto some mud. Claudette tried to help Megan but the boy pushed her back on the step. The boy was way older than both Megan and Claudette.
"Can I help you?" Claudette asked the boy.
"Gimmie all your eggs NOW" the boy demands. The boy had a knife in an attempt to threaten her. The boy was large, not in fat but in muscle and bone.
Claudette was trying to remain calm but not show fear at the same time.
"Well in my basket there are 24 eggs and it costs 2.00 per dozen so for all the eggs in my basket so it will cost you four bucks" as Claudette was talking Megan was motioning for her to shut up. However Claudette did not listen.
The older boy was not very patient so he snatched Claudettes egg basket and the money she had already made from selling more eggs earlier that day. But the boy left the crosses. Claudette Try's offers the boy a cross but was already down the lane.
"Boy father is not going to be happy when I get home" Claudette is imagining many consequences for her crime of being robbed as she is helping Megan up from out of the mud.
"You know Claudette be lucky you did not get hacked to bits" Megan warns.
"It was a butcher knife he used, besides I don't think it's possible to hack someone to bits with that tiny knife" Claudette was underestimating the damage of the weapon.
"You know what happened to Bobby Sykes? You know when he underestimated the power of a little pocket knife in a fight"
Claudette remembers the grim day when she came on the street that day seeing Bobby's body caked in blood. The body was not removed until a week later. It left a brown and red blotchy stain on the street for a whole summer.
"No I don't wanna end up like Bobby" Claudette said to Megan.
"Then don't try to be smart" Megan "gently" reminds Claudette.
Claudette nods her head in shame imagining the punishment her grandfather would give her. She already did not have breakfast, lunch or dinner for five days.
Megan's crime was having a mother who kidnapped an orphaned child to get a diamond for her.
Claudettes crime was having a grandfather who tried to burn all of Paris.Oh and she is not six or seven she's eight.
It has been three months since Desendence 3. And no Megan and Claudette won't attend Aurodon prep. You'll find out soon. I am not Disney.
