Carmelita, Carmelita
Carmelita was six-teen and a servant in the Clirtew house. For eight years she did every thing her step family told her to do. She swept the floors, cleaned the dishes, mowed the lawn, and ever other little thing on her 'chore' list. Carmelita spent the little free time she had studying. She was in the 11th grade and near the top of her class. School usually went well for her, until the new students arrived.
Clhoe and Clara had been transfered to Pinict High. Mrs. Clirtew changed their schools after she saw her o so darling daughters failing grades. She had seen Carmelita stay on the A & B honor roll each year she had attendedPinict Highand decided it was the schools fault for the straight D's her daughters recieved. For Carmelita school was one of her only escapes from her dreadful life. For eight and a half hours each day Carmelita was free from the constant calls of "Carmelitaaaa!" that rung through out her house, but now she knew the torture would only increase now the shared the same classes.
"So Sly, I can assume that this years party will be a major hit like last year." A pink hippo ask his raccoon friend.
Sly stood out of his chair. "Yah, this year will be bigger and better." He twirled his cane. "One week and counting."
"Six days and fifth teen hours." The brainy turtle, Bently remarked at hearing incorrect calculations.
Sly turned to the turtle. "So who's on the list and what band should we get?" He asked looking at over Bentlys shoulder at the computer screen.
Bently was typing on his computer, searching a variety of sites. Murry thought Bently's typing had a repeating beat to it. "Murry could you not dance in here?" Bentlys computer fell while Murry shook the room.
"Ah, here we go." Sly grabbed a list of names that had just been printed. "Okay I've got the list what about a band?"
Bently pushed his computer at Sly. "Sampling Life." Bently proudly declared. He knew that Sly really liked the band and wouldn't disagree with him.
"I love Sampling Life!" Murry jumped up and down in excitment. "Aren't the owned by Fox Town Records?" He questioned himself out loud.
"Yah, and the owner has two daughters." Sly was now seated again. "We should invite them. I mean it only seems right." His two pals nodded in agreement. Sly added Clhoe and Clara to his list. "Lets get going we have alot to buy." Sly got up again.
Murry was the only one old enough to drive and he knew that they all had plenty of traveling to do that day. He pick up the keys to his van and his two friends followed behind him. "First stop party shop." Bently said as he closed the door.
Carmelita was on her hands and knees cleaning the mosaic tiled floors. "All most finish." She wiped the last part of the floor clean. "There I'm finally done." It took her a long four hours to clean the thirty-six floors but she had cleaned them all. She strecthed her back. "Ah! That feels good. Huh?" She heard the enterance door open. Carmelita peered into the waiting room. Clara and Clhoe were back from their lessons.
The two minks chatter continuously as the went up stairs to their rooms. Carmelita rushed out to the room before Mrs. Clirtew came in. She held the door open for her step mother. Mrs. Clirtew threw her daughter bags to Carmelita. Being used to the routine Carmelita caught the items with ease. "Did you clean the floors?" She asked the fox while the headed upstairs.
"Yes step mother." She continued the routine.
"Take out the trash, wash the dishes, and pull the weeds?" She stopped infront of her two daughters room.
"Yes step mother." Something wasn't right. Oh no!
Clara and Clhoe were now watching."How is it that you can remember all that but you can't remember to open the door when we arrived?"
Carmelita was shacking. Clara and Clhoe giggled as they watched the fox be tormented. "I'm so sorry step mother, I... I had just finished the floors..."
"You dare talk back to me!" Clirtew was out raged. "You are to put those bags away then go to your room with out supper."
"Yes step mother, I am sorry step mother." Carmelita put the bags away after Mrs. Clirtew went to her room.
The twins had something up their sleves. "You sure messed up this time Carmelita." Clara began the taunting.
"Yes step mother." Clhoe joined in mocking Carmelita.
Carmelita was finished putting up the bags and headed out into the hall. She was used to all of this by now and found a way to tune out her disturbances. Carmelita pretended to take it all in stride and walk without saying a single word. Clara and Clhoe weren't finished with Carmelita yet.
"One." Clara told her twin.
"Two." Clhoe counted.
"Three!" The two said in unision. The stepped on Carmelitas tathered apron, sending the little fox to the floor.
Carmelita knee was cut and begun to bleed. Her sisters stood behind her. They knew how to shot a persons self esteem lower than low.
"Oh, look she's got a boo boo." Clara mockingly said. "Baby gonna cry now?"
"Wha, wha." Clhoe pretended to be a baby crying.
Carmelita had been hurt by these two before but now something came over her. It was something new to the vixen. "Ah!" Carmelita pounced on her sisters. She grabbded and pulled their hair out by the hand fulls.
"Mother!" Carmelita heard one of the twins yell. She couldn't see who said because her hair fell in her face.
Mrs.Clirtew hurried from her room and saw Carmelita on top of her daughters, pounding her fists and pulling their blond hair. She kicked Carmelita in the ribs. The fox fell on the floor clutching her side, it was in so much pain.
"Whaat do you think your doing? This is unexceptable." She now picked Carmelita up by her hair. "Youhave lost your privilege of leaving this house except for errands. Do you hear me?" She shock her Carmelitas head.
"YES STEP MOTHER!" Carmelita was in agony. The door bell rung. Carmelita was released from Clirtews grip.
"Get the door. Then go to your basement." Clirtew kick Carmelitas shin, flicked her hair then left.
Carmelita dusted her self off the opened the door. "Yes?" She asked a green turtle and pink hippo. Her face was covered in dirt and sweat. You wouldn't reconize the once lovely vixen in her current state.
The turtle cleared his throat preparing to speek. "This is a invatation to the Third Annual Cooper Halloween party." The pink hippo handed Carmelita an envelope. " The three ladys of the house are invited to attend. All information is listed there." The hippo pointed to the letter. "Good day." The two messengers bowed the stepped into their van and left.
Carmelita examined the envelope while she walked to her step mothers room. She swallowed the lump that was swelling in her throat and knocked on her door.
"You may enter." She heard Clirtew announce. Carmelita twisted the door knob and went inside. She was affraid of another outburst from her step mom but went in any ways.
