Chapter 3 Escape from a Nosy, Brat, Sister

Mystic, where are you off to? asked Daddy before I had walked out the door. I slowly turn around and say I'm going to the market place for some shopping with some friends. Which friends? he asked.

Areana and Mary.

Oh, alright.

Can I go now?

That's if you finish your chores. You did finish your chores right?

exasperated sigh Yes Daddy, I cleaned the stables from top to bottom, cleaned out the bath tub, cleaned my room, changed the bed sheets, polished the silver, and the laundry is on the line drying.

Oh, er... very good. Go ahead.

Oooooooo! Will you buy me something? asked Laurie in her squeky baby voice, as she ran into the kitchen. NO! You have your own money! I snapped in disgust, In fact you have more money than I do!

Well you can at least let me come along then.

Fine. Just don't bug me and my friends.

Yessss! I'll be back in a flash.

3 hours later...

ARGGGGGG! I screamed, I can's wait here any longer. I'm late for my shopping spree.! ... ... ... ... OK! THAT'S IT! IM GOING TO MEET MY FRIENDS WHEATHER LAURIE'S COMING OR NOT!

I stomped off to the market place and before I'm down the street here comes Laurie running and screaming for me to wait up for her. I told you to wait for me panted laurie. I'm going to shop with my friends i said and then stomped off to go shopping with my friends, at least that's what laurie thought.

As I walk away I look behind me to find Laurie walking far behind me. Soon she realized I caught her following me. She starts to browes at a jewelry bazzar near by. I start walking to find my friends and spotted Arena. I walk up to her and ask hey what's first? Arena looks at me like I had lost it. Im trying to get away from my sister so I can go to Lenokoma's hut for my lessons, remember i told you in my letter? i hissed. So can you just shop with me until she's gone. Alright lets go to the robes shop, said Arena and we run off to the robes shop.

Soon Laurie loses intrest in following me so i thank Arena for shopping with me and run off to Lenokoma's and with laurie far behind me.
