Cassandra and her little sister, Helena, watched the moon through their bed room window. "Its beautiful Cass, how can something so pretty live so far away?" "I don't know Hel but sure enough its time for you to go to bed." "Bed?! How old do you think I am?" "Just don't stay up till 3 again. Your teacher bit my head off last time you fell asleep in class." "Fine I won't" Cassandra had to take over when their parents left them to fend for them in the big city. That's right New York.
I'm Cassandra Wolfson, people call me Cassie, and that who you saw is my little sister Helena or Hel as I call her. Our parents left us when we were little; off to a fairytale land to visit some old friends they said, but they never came back, that's when Helena began to get into fights and obsessing about fairytales hoping that she'd find our mom and dad in one. My mom used to obsess over fairytales. We have boxes of them in the attic, I find Willy up there most of the time rereading Grims fairytales and such. I'm 24 and I work as a waitress in a place called 'Grill on the Park'. The owner said that he knew my mother and he was nice enough to give me a job. Helena is barely 18 and has a knack for getting into fights and trouble. She loves the moon and practically worships it. I remember our father use to stay up with her on near full moons and they wouldn't say anything just watching the moon.
We live in a small apartment on the edge of the forest, Central Park Forest that is. It was left for us by a man named Mr. Murray; he's an odd man I'd have to say. But not as odd as the story of how we came upon the 9 kingdoms. This is that story.
---------------------------------
It was another boring day, Cassie watched by the balcony as Helena came home. She dropped her back pack at the door and kicked off her shoes. She stormed pass her and threw a crumbled note at her. It was another note saying that she should talk to Helena about her anger issues. "Who'd you get into a fight with today?" Cassie asked. Helena plopped herself on her bed and began to type furiously on her laptop she just bought. "Tim Perkins!" Cassie sat down next to her trying to see what she was doing but she wouldn't let her see. "Physical or argumentative?" She looked like she wanted to kill him; she gave a quick huff "it was in English. You know I hate that class. It was over our fiction papers. He said that mom's story about New York being the 10th kingdom wasn't what the assignment was about. How a stupid 'Fairytale' shouldn't be compared to great masterpieces like 'Harry Potter'. We got into a very interesting argument that ended up with me jumping over 2 rows of people to try and kill him." Cassandra was silent, "I didn't even hurt that much it was just a punch. His lip wasn't even that swollen." Helena passed it off as nothing and continued her typing. 'What was she always typing on there?' She thought. Cassie shook here head at her sisters' actions "Helena I think we should take a look at that therapist your guidance counselor recommended. I'm not saying that you need therapy just that we should check it out. Your anger is getting you in loads of trouble and your principle said that one more fight at school and you'll be suspended and you don't want that to happen on your graduating year." "I'm not going to no shrink!" Cassie wasn't going to budge "Yes, you are end of discussion. You can't keep believing mom's going to come back or dad for that matter. They left us and your mad about it but making her fairytale real isn't going to help. Now I have to go to work, Stop typing and start your homework." Helena was pissed but she'd never harm her sister. She slammed shut her laptop and pulled a large algebra book from her backpack. "I love you." Cassie said to her sister "mmhmm" That's all Helena said. It seemed physically impossible nowadays for her to say those words. 'I love you' were the last thing she said to her parents.
