In a far away village, there was a girl named Thia. She had a best friend named Courtney. When the two were 10, their parents had taken an oath to give their lives to an ancient book, that promised them fortunes if they did so. Courtney was an adventurous girl, Thia, on the other hand, would rather stay home plotting against her brothers. One day, Thia sat at the park waiting for her friend, but she did not show. She waited for a couple hours, before she felt she needed to go home.She regretfully left the park, and walked back to her house. Her parents, were nowhere to be seen. She knocked on her brother’s door, and her brother came out. “Where is everyone?” Thia asked. “I think they’re at the market.” Her oldest brother said, and put on his shoes. “Well where are you going?” She asked. “Out.” “Who are you going with?” “Someone.” And with that, he walked out the door. Thia walked in her brothers room to find her two other brothers playing with wooden cars. “Can I play?” She asked in a hopeful manner. “You never want to play with us.” The oldest of the two said, staring at her oddly. “ I was just asking, wow.” Thia replied, and stormed into her room. She took out a book, and began reading. A half hour later, she heard a noise. It was her mother. “Hey mom, what’s up?” Thia asked, bored. “I’m taking your brothers to a play, do you want to come?” Her mother asked. Thia shivered, and shook her head no. “Well, we’ll be back sometime late at night.”
