16 Years Later

"Mariesha! Come down for breakfast!" Lasizy called upstairs in their tiny cottage.
Lasizy wished more than ever that Mariesha could have grown up in the big mansions/castles that they had in their old city. She never toke Mariesha from the secret grove that they went to 16 years ago. But the city was destroyed that fateful night, and their people had to leave and find a new place to live.

But Lasizy and Mariesha had a good life in the grove. Mariesha knew that Lasizy was not her real mother. But they never talked about it. Mariesha  refused to think anything other than that her mother could not get away from her people to come meet her. Lasizy feared worse. If you don't bring a family member with you during a city evacuation, the punishment is execution.

"Mariesha I am serious! Don't make me come up there." Lasizy ordered.

A muffled groan came from Mariesha's room, but no movement that would signal her getting up was heard.

"It's lemon oat tarts!" Lasizy smirked. That would get her moving. They were her favorite.

A scream of excitement was made, then a thud that sounded like Mariesha fell out of bed in her wrestle with the covers. Lasizy and Mariesha slept in their clothes in case they were attacked in the middle of the night. They might have to run.

"I'm down! I'm here! Where are they?" Mariesha exclaimed, brushing her shoulder length spiky purple hair out of her eyes. (AN: Mariesha looke like the girl in the picture on the cover, so I'm going to skip her introduction) Lasizy has red straight hair that reaches down to her waist, but she normally wears it in a braid going down her back. Like she in now. She wears a black tank-top, and black leather leggings. On top of the tank-top, she wears a red leather light jacket. She really likes leather. They both have light blue eyes, and paleish skin.

"Here. Have at it." Lasizy handed Mariesha a plate of lemon oat tarts.

Mariesha didn't wait a second before she started eating. She was so peaceful m, so happy. But Lasizy was troubled.

"Should I tell her? About the Warriors gift? It could change her whole life, give her something she wants. But Karsha(Mariesha's mom) said not to tell her. But she did only say not to ruin her childhood experience, and she's a teenager now. I should tell her."  Lasizy decided.

"Hey Lasizy? If you could have one thing, what would it be?" Mariesha asked.

"Well Mariesha, if you had the chance to have one thing in the world, what would you wish for?" Lasizy replied, avoiding the question.

"I would with to have lemon oat tarts every day for every meal!" Mariesha exclaimed before rushing outside.

"Maybe I can tell her in a few years." Lasizy summed up.
