Class Period Name Date Title Characters: Michael, Sarah, Kathy, Mia, Cruel sister: Sarah, Second cruel sister that grows a heart later in the story: Kathy Victim: Mia Hero/savior: Michael *Michael saves Mia from her sister Sarah who went insane trying to rule over Mia and her younger sister Kathy, Kathy originally was following her older sisters foot steps and was just as cruel as Sarah, but as Sarah grew more and more mad/insane Kathy began to fall away from her path of cruelty and took on the path of her kind hearted step sister Mia, Kathy was too ashamed of her actions toward Mia in the past so she kept to herself… (will continue later) “Mia! Where are you?!” Sarah, the eldest sister, yells aloud. “I’ll be up in just a sec.” Mia, the step sister, yells back in response. “No! I want you up here now!” Sarah yells with anger. Mia rolls her eyes as she gathers the rest of her dirty laundry, and treks up the stairs wondering what Sarah could possibly want now, “I think she’s heard to many fantasy stories” Mia grumbles to herself as she makes it up the stairs and into the living room where Sarah sits lazily on the couch stuffing her face with soda and chips. Sarah was a power hungry, preppy stuck-up, She has it drilled into her head for some reason that everyone around her was born to serve her, and the sorry thing is, that’s exactly how most people around her treat her, so all they do is feed, and feed, and feed the ego of this power hungry beast. “I’m here now, what did you want?” said Mia with aggravation. “Hand me the remote, put “Alice in Wonderland” in the VCR, and make me more popcorn!” responds Sarah in her usual bossy way, the only reason Mia does everything she says is because all she wants to do is fit into the family. Now Mia isn’t your average “just take the punches and keep going” type of person, if she had not lost her parents in the fire and she had run into “Loud Mouth Sarah” somewhere on the streets or in school, she would have beat her face into a bloody pulp, Mia isn’t much of a follower, she’s more of a leader, The parents in this family didn’t help Mia’s situation, the reason they adopted her was so that she could do all the dirty work while everyone else got to relax and have fun. It’s messed up right? As Mia exit’s the room, she runs into Kathy the youngest sister of the airborne family, Kathy is only in middle school, and she looks up to her sister Sarah as a role-model. She’s only snobby when Sarah is around, Kathy is a complete sweetheart when she’s by herself, she has this amazing personality, but Sarah hated it so I guess you could say she has split personalities now. Mia and Kathy are like peanut butter and jelly, they just go together, that is unless Sarah is around, Sarah is the loogie someone hacked into the sandwich just to ruin it, yea that’s right she was compared to a loogie. Kathy looks up at Mia with her beautiful emerald green eyes, and asks Mia in her shy sweet voice “I skipped lunch, can you please fix me a snack?” Mia looks down at her and smiles, “sure hun, what would you like today?” Kathy smiles and responds “how about grilled cheese today?” Mia responds with a big smile “alright, commin’ right up” Mia always, almost everyday, would wish Kathy would learn to stand up for herself, but the poor girl keeps getting brain washed by Sarah. When Kathy started getting a little mouthy and rebellious, Sarah knew exactly what to tell her to keep her in line, and she really gets a kick out of bossing Mia around, because she knows how much she hates it. Sarah I guess you could say knows how to use your weaknesses against you, for Mia, that was trying to fit into the Airborne family, and just to mess with her, Sarah decided that she was going to snoop through all Mia’s personal belongings and take the box of pictures of Mia and her actual family, and Sarah let her know she had them by pointing out that she had “reorganized” her room, and when Mia checked out her room she discovered that everything was toppled over and scattered all over the place, she dove into the mess and searched frantically for her box, when she didn’t find it she flew back up the stair case ready to fight her, only to be stopped and frozen in place when Sarah held out a picture of her mother and father with one of Mia’s collector Zippos held at the bottom. “Go ahead sweetie. Hit me. I’ll burn the whole box” said Sarah in one of her “you can’t touch me” voices. Page 1 of 2 Class Period Name Date Title Mia stepped back and straightened her self up, she stared at Sarah with hatred, and pitied Kathy (who was holding onto the box) for helping her, Kathy looked down in shame, and when Sarah noticed her reaction she let out an angry huff, smirked, and then lit the photo on fire. Mia stood there watching in horror as the flames engulfed her parents once again, she yelled out at Sarah not really knowing what else she could do. Sarah turned to Kathy and ordered her to hand over the box while the photo was still burning; Kathy held tightly to the box and ran off into her room. Sarah dropped the photo as she ran off after her sister, “you little brat!, come back here!” Mia jumped onto the photo to extinguish the fire, only to have a black clump of burnt picture paper left over, she cradled it in her hands and wept, not just over the lose of her picture, but the lose of a memory caught on a piece of paper, the lose of her parents, the lose of a moment in time when everything was perfect and happy, but now is lost. When she heard Sarah returning, she wiped the tears away as the feeling of sorrow was quickly overcome by anger, and revenge, Mia got up off the floor ready to charge at her…when the door bell rang, she shrugged off toward the door and checked to see who it was interrupting her moment of inflicting pain on the retched- as she opened the door a tall fare-haired man with piercing blue eyes stood there interrupting her train of thought, Mia stared in astonishment, temporarily forgetting what she was about to do, “Um, hi, I’m Michael I live just down the street from here, I believe the mail-man mixed up our mail” he says handing over the Airborne’s mail. “Oh, uh, thanks…” Mia replies shyly, taking the mail from his hand and placing it on the side table by the door. Michael stands in the doorway awkwardly, “uh, can I have my mail please?” “Oh!, right!” Mia blushed with embarrassment. She hands over his mail. He notices her blushing and smiles, “So I didn’t catch your name miz airborne” She smiles and replies “My name is Mia” “Well it was nice meeting you Mia,” Michael takes off down the street. She smiles for a split second then her seriousness reappeared as she suddenly remembered what was going on before she had answered the door. Facing the door she pivots toward the door way of the living room, and marches angrily into the room searching for Sarah; revenge burning in her eyes. Sarah comes down stares to face a pissed off Mia, before Sarah could say anything else; Mia socks her in the face, Sarah flies backward, and just as this whole scene goes down, Mrs. And Mr. Airborne walks into the room. Mrs. Airborne gasps “Mia, how dare you hit your sister like that!” “She’s not my sister!” Mia replies angrily Page 2 of 2
