A Story In The 1660s
story of kindness, loveliness and heartbreak.
Chapter One
Late.
Marie Willers lived in a old village called Gardainier. But in times it is not very peaceful. As she walked home she remembered to take care of her two younger sisters, Cori and Nadian. As she opened the door she saw Cori sitting at the wooden diner.
"You are late," she grumbled.
"I am sorry. I got caught up. But I promise I will never be late again to make dinner!" vowed Marie, picking up two carrots, ready to chop. While she chopped Cori and Nadian were drinking water from the old part of the town. Marie was shocked. " Why would you drink that?" she asked snatching the goblets off them. " You know you never should drink water from that part of the town!It is dirty water!"
Nadian gasped. "Oh, may lord bless you, sister! We should have know!"
Marie sighed. Their parents are living in Camtare, a town with a King, so Marie had to be in charge. Suddenly, the sky turned grey, filling the sun with clouds. The three girls gasped. Villains are to attack the town again!
Chapter Two.
Attacked!
The villains were riding on their horses, trying to kill somebody. And Marie knew who- Her sister Cori! " You must hide!" she warned her sisters. " They'd soon barge in our cottage. You must hide, Cori, Nadian," The two girls eyes filled with tears. " What about you?" Nadian asked.
Marie shook her head. "hide!"
Soon enough, two villains barged in rudely. Marie felt her blood turn to ice. She was terrified.
" Where is your sister, or you shall die at our hands!" One said holding up a bow and arrow.
But Marie had to be strong. " I will not tell you!" she cried. " And if you kill me, you will never thee see Cori again!" The villains grinned, and shooted the bow and arrow, Marie ducked. The arrow hit the wall.
" You'd better watch out!" Spath, a of course mad villain warned. " Your sisters will die,"
Then they galloped away on their horses.
Cori and Nadian came out of hiding. " That was close!" Cori puffed. Then gave Marie the biggest hug. " I thought you were going to die!"
" I thought they were going to find you! Just because you came to their land to pick up supplies, doesn't mean they should kill you!" Nadian said, madly. " They should leave our town alone!"
Marie nodded. It was true. Marie asked Cori to collect a few supplies in Ealdor Land ( where the villains live.), then she was spotted of good people. Some people near her, wanted to kill her, because she was good! Now the villains say when ever it rains or bad weather like cloudy days, they will come to find her.Marie hated the Villains for lots of reasons, number one, they were bad, number two they wanted to kill Cori just because of some dumb reason and number three, their grams died at the same reason as Cori! Marie hated them more then anything else.
Chapter Three
Sickness!
After the threatening of the villains, they heard a knock on the door. " Come in!" Marie sang out. She was surprised of who it was- an old friend of hers!
" Oh my!" The look of her was totally ill with chicken spots. She was wearing a hood, so no one could see her ill. She led her friend, Nikita to her bedroom and lay down. She looked at the disease.
" Water," Marie explained. Nikita looked confused. " Water is the only disease of the illness. Have you been drinking water from the old part of the town?"
She nodded weakly. " I think my parents died from that. But I followed," she said in a croaky voice. " But that's so wrong. If you had had drank that water, you would've had an headache or something. But it cannot be so ill like this!" Then she gasped. " You drank from down town! The place that nobody even dare to live there!"
Nikita nodded. Marie shook her head. No... it can't be...she can't...
Then she burst into tears. Nikita was going to die! " What's wrong?"
" God be with you! You are going to die!" cried Marie. Nikita smiled. " Thank you. For all the things that you have done for me... you are a friend, lord be with you..." Then slowly, she closed her eyes and died. Marie cried and cried till night. She was suppose to tuck her sisters in bed but she did not care. Her friend has died!She was still sobbing till she fell asleep on Nikita's lap.
Chapter four.
Big Questions
"Marie, you have to get breakfast started, we are starving!" The sound of Coris' shout woke Marie up. Nikita was already taken away and today was her funeral. She had to come. While she mixed the porridge she felt kind of empty. Nikita was actually dead.
" Marie, just because Nikita is dead it was not your fault! She drank water from down town!" fussed Nadian, really wanting her sister to stop feeling sad.
" Yeah, I guess so," Suddenly she heard the funeral bells chime. Nikita's funeral had began!
" I have to go!" rushed Marie. She set up to the stable and rode Gilbert to Mount Hills. As she got there she neatly putted a bunch of flowers near the grave.
" Blessed be, Nikita, after all the fun we had, this is the end, ahem" she prayed.After the funeral, Marie didn't feel like to go home. She wanted to be alone. She led Gilbert through the woods, until she heard a cry. " Help!"
Marie buckled up. She followed the cry. Once she got to the middle of the woods, there was a pack of wolves,barking furiously at a young lady, wearing a waiters dress. The lady was on the ground, trying to get away but she sprained her ankle. "Please help!" the lady cried.
" I will help you!" Marie said. "I will help you get up," she pulled the lady up. But the wolves were striking to kill. But Marie knew how to whistle with her fingers.
" WHOOOOOOOOO!" It was very loud. The wolves ran away. " Thank you,"
"Your most need," answered Marie. " Now lets get to Gardenier, The place I live, so you can rest,"
The lady nodded. " My name is Sintha Ritain Vill-" She suddenly stopped, and looked at Marie closely.Ah-ha! Marie was good people. And she knew where Cori is. Sintha was also a villain.She was related to Spath,also a villain. They all wanted to kill Cori Willers. Plus she needed to nick a few things from the Willers house. " Villein," she finished. She was about to say villain, but if she looked closely enough in Marie's' eyes, she was a goody."You must be Marie Willers."
Once they reached to town, Sintha was on the bed. Marie studied the ankle. "Mmm...nothing too serious," exclaimed Marie until she heard her two sisters yelling at eachother in the bedroom, " I want it!" and things like that." I am so sorry. You will be cured. My sisters, Cori and Nadian..." her voice trailed off. Sintha smiled. She didn't even had a sprain ankle. She faked it so she could nick three things- A crystal necklace from the Willers grams,some grain and a clump of Coris' hair. She found the necklace behind two stacks of books in the shelf. She smugged it into her dress. Tomorrow, after breakfast, she decided to nick the grain, and then tomorrows night she will be ready to cut a clump of Coris' hair. A little while later, Marie came back with the sisters. " I told them all about you. You'll be fine. You can stay here for five days." said Marie. Sintha drank the glass of water. " thank you, you are very kind,"
Chapter five.
Do you think?
The next morning was nice and sunny. Cori yawned. She felt her dark brown hair. Arrrrrgh! It was all tangled up- again. But she knew Marie could fix it.Then she remembered yesterdays visitor... Sintha Ritain...it sounded kind of similar to her. She sworn she saw her face somewhere... No.
At breakfast, it was something normal-grain.They'd usually had lots to eat,but today seemed not too much, though. She looked at Sintha. She was nibbling on grain. She had darkness in her eyes, somehow. Cori shook her head. It cannot be. Marie made her absolute welcome to Sintha. I must be mistaken.She could not be the one that was yelling, "Kill, kill,kill!" the day she was captured... no.... she cannot be a villain.,but she got to admit, she looked like S paths' sister.Yes...Cori had a felling that she nicked the grain, maybe.
"I'm going to collect some water," said Cori getting up from her chair.She did not want to have the feeling again every time she sees Sinthas face. " I must go with you," said Marie. " What if one of the villains see you?" Cori looked over at Sinthas face. And she smiled, evilly!
But when Sintha saw Cori looking she quickly said, " That was the most delisous grain."
While they walked Cori explained. " Look, Marie. Sintha is a villain!"
Marie looked shocked. "How?"
" I can see. She has darkness in her eyes! She stoled the grain. She is the one that day that wanted me killed! She's Spathes-" before she could say an important part,Marie inturrupted.
" No, no,no,no!She's not who you said she was. She has kind manners. She is totally good!"
She sighed. Could her younger sister ever learn not to point fingers?
Chapter six.
Wrong!
Nadian took a piece of green apple and took a bite. She hoped Sintha Radians leave soon. She looked so secretly and quietly, like she was planning something.Maybe a party to say thank you? She shrugged. It didn't matter. Just in case it wasn't so bad, Nadian thought it was okay.Nadian decided to play her night-flute. She played a cheerful tune. Then she saw Marie came in looking tired as anything. " Do you think Sintha is a villain?" she asked.
Nadian dropped her flute. " Mm. I am so not sure, but she cannot be. She's too well, you know..."
"Polite." Finished Marie. " Cori thinks she is. She told me that she was the one that said well, wanted her dead and that she was Spathe's brother." Nadian nodded. " That is what I saw, at first." Then she took another bite of an apple. Marie's eyes widened. " Really? Huh! Well,okay. Goodnight!" But Nadian didn't exactly know...
Chapter seven.
Nightmare!
Cori was fast asleep. She was not dreaming of anything,though. Just long nice rests. She was still snoozing, but she did not know who was opening her door. It was Sintha. She walked towards Cori's bed.
" Say good-bye, to your hair, you foolish girl..." prompted Sintha, cutting a bunch of Cori's hair with a knife. Cori woken up.She saw what Sintha done.
She gasped. " Sintha...." her voice was soft for a minute but then," WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY HAIR!" She yelled. But not loud enough for the others to hear.
Sintha smiled. " Silly, girl. I am Spathe's sister. A villain... Therefore I stole the grain. I want you dead. Oh, and I never give out my recipes." Then she ran out of the room.
So Sintha was a villain!
Chapter eight.
No one believes Cori.
The next morning, everyone looked at Cori. Her hair was back on because sneaky Sintha made another copy of her hair and it glued on with some clay.
She was as crankier as ever, thought Marie.
" What's wrong, Cori?" asked Marie.
Cori got cranky then. " What do you think?!" she yelled. Could not they see about her hair?
" Can't you see? Sintha cut my hair last night! And she put it on with clay!"
Sintha was smiling inside. But she couldn't show it. Not until they go to the beach.
Marie looked at Sintha. " Is this true?"
Sintha looked surprised. " I would not dare! Anyway, this girl is fibbing! There's no clay, look!" Marie and Nadian looked. Nope. It did not seem like clay.
" Look, we're really late for beach, come on girls, lets walk." said Marie, trying to soften things up. How could Cori fib so much?
Chapter nine.
It is true!
They walked to Island Beach. A very peaceful beach. But Marie's mind was all on Cori. She looked like she was not lying. But she got go trust Sintha.And did Sintha cut Cori's hair? It seemed so complicated. As they got to the bridge, Marie was confused. " Why did you bring us here?" asked Marie.
Sintha smiled. " Hooped!" she called. This was even more confusion than ever. Suddenly, the villains came in thunder, on their horses, with swords... and there was Spathe!
"So you are a villain.And you did all those unusual stuff! So it is true!" Marie accused. Nadian was scared. Sintha laughed. " You know when I sprained my ankle? You thought I really was telling the truth the whole time?" snickered Sintha. " Get them," She called to the villains with swords.
The three sisters took swords from the bridge. They all know how too fight. Their grams taught them before. There were five villains on the boat. Only three got down to the waves. Perfect! Only two more! But while there was only one more Cori was fighting, their swords clang together, but the last villain swept to sea. Cori was proud of herself, she hoped her sisters were too. But Cori didn't that Sintha pushed her out to sea, too!
The two left over sisters gasped.
" You killed!" Nadian yelled.
" Exactly- You have killed my soliders!"
But Marie was so mad she kicked Sinthas butt to sea, too.
Then they both burst into tears. Cori was dead. Then Nadian ran all the way home. Marie was about to, but she had an message.
"ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED, VILLAIN!" she yelled.
But part of her knew this was complete over.
