Title: Little But Lucky

LITTLE BUT LUCKY

CHAPTTER 1 WHO AM I?

"Girl! Girl! Get up and start your work!" yelled the Lord. "Unless you won't get dinner!
"Yes Sir." Goll", these people are rude. But it is for my own good. I work for food. I don't know what my real name is. Everyone calls me "girl." That will have to do. I don't know how old I am, maybe 11 years old.
I work for the Lord. In return he gives me food, a patch of land, and a place to live. Well, it's not really a house. It's just a shack. I live with 20 other people. We can smell manure from the barn. It's not bad. I've gotten used to it. I consider myself lucky. I am not living on the street.
I have no relatives. I do not know my parents. They died when I was much too young to remember. I do not have any friends. I am too shy to make friends.
I work for Lord Villard. I call him "Lord" for short. Sometimes, I think he is around his 20's. I am not that good with ages.
Well, I have to go! Today is Monday and I have to work for the Lord.


CHAPTER 2 THE DUNGEON

Oh! Yesterday was awful! Lord Villard took 20 of us to the dungeon. He said if we do not do our work this is where we will end up. Here is how it all happened.
I woke up at the crack of dawn. Lord Villard took us down to the dungeon. It was dark and scary. I could hear faint cries for help. I looked at the people they where very skinny. It looked like I could brake one of there bones with my own hand. I went up to a young man named Otto. He said that he had disagreed with the lord and threw down there. He said that he was the Lords own brother. He said that he starved them. He said that I better be good. You would not want to live down here. It is wet and cold. It is miserable. Listen to the Lord.
"Everone get back here," yelled the Lord. I ran to him. We went upstairs and started my work.

CHAPTER 3 THE PLAGUE

There is an awful disease going around in the city. It is very scary. First, you get a big bump on your shoulder. The next day your whole body turns black. It's like a huge bruise. Then the third day you choak up blood. One person in my shack has died from it. I overheard Lord Villard talking. He said that someone was sick. I wonder who?
I was thinking it may be in a bugs stomach. Then when they bite you, you get the disease. Call me crazy, but I like to dream.
I am tring to stay away from the people who have it. I am going to be brave and stay. It will probably go away soon.

CHAPTER 4 THE JOURNEY

Yesterday I went to the monestery. I never want to be one of them! My life is better. Now that's a first! This is how it went.
They woke up at midnight and went to the church. It was strange. Then, they expected them to go back to sleep. Then they woke up. They went into a room and took the vow of silence. They can't talk for as long as they live.
They started to write. It was cool! I wish I could write like them! They sat there for eight hours stright writing.
They only have two meals a day! After they got done writing they went down to eat. They ate a meal like me. It was fish and bread. I think fish is bad but if that was the only thing to eat it would have to do, I guess. Well, lucky me I will never become one.
The thing I can't get over is that they can't talk their whole lives. And if you do talk you get a punishment. They have to go to the streets and beg for money or they have to clean bathrooms.
Well, I have to go. I have to work for the Lord today.

CHAPTER 5 UNFINSHED

It is Sunday and I have had a long day! All day we just sat around. So, I had a lot of time to think.
I was thinking about if there was another world? Maybe another place where there is no Lord and Lady. Everyone is free. There is no dungeon or castles. Maybe there are different people. Maybe they are purple, with three eyes and twenty arms. Well, maybe a am going a little far.
The strangest thing is that bright thing in the skyy at niight. I wonder if we will ever get to go there. Maybe they will take a really big thing with people in there and blast you off. But how would they land? Maybe they will keep going forver.
Well, I will probably not know the answers to all of these questions, but one thing I really want to find out is if I will ever learn to read and write?
