It's been a while since we've had a new one of these. So...you may post up to 3 paragraphs for each post you make, but no more.

Ella brushed a strand of hair out of her face, kicked off her shoes, and swung herself up into the branches of her favorite maple tree, her legs scraping against the rough bark.

She grabbed onto a branch just above her head and leaned on her upraised arm, feeling the warm breeze as it swept over her sticky skin. It rustled the leaves all around her, making a pleasant rustling sound. She breathed in and out, relaxing with each breath. So when a voice called her from behind, she jumped and just barely avoided slipping out of the tree.

"Ella! Come down this moment! What will mother say?" The scolding tone of her older sister drifted up. Ella turned around.

 

I leave you to continue it.

back to the Inkwell

I was angry at my sister, yet again, for climbing trees when I was meant to be looking after her, as mother would just get me in trouble.

"Ella!" I yell, breaking the beautiful silence of a Summer morning."Come down this moment! What will Mother say?"

She rolls her eyes and slides down from the maple tree, slipping her shoes on and running towards me.

"Why?" She says, exasperated.

"Because mother says."

"Mothers not here."

See? You do NOT want a stubborn little sister...

"Mother's not here," Ella replied, climbing higher to annoy Marie, her sister. She glanced down and saw Marie stomping towards the tree.

"It doesn't matter. Rules are rules! Don't make me come and get you, Ella!" Marie shouted, reaching the base of the maple.  Ella leaned away from her branch and rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, making sure Marie saw her do it. She knew it was an empty threat. Marie hated getting dirty. 

"Be careful, Ella!" Marie cried, slipping out of her responsible older sister tone as she watched Ella. She quickly regained it saying, "Mother said I'm in charge. Ella, get down!" Ella laughed and kept climbing, higher and higher. Marie watched anxiously, praying her sister wouldn't fall.

Ella continued climbing still. Seemingly out of nowhere, a furious wind whipped through the air. Marie's fears were confirmed as Ella was knocked from her precarious perch on the topmost branch. Marie shrieked her sister's name as time seemed to slow. Ella didn't seem to feel any fear as she shot out a hand and grabbed onto a strong, thick branch about midway down.

"Ella," Marie growled threateningly, heart still pounding. With a laugh, Ella pulled herself up onto the branch.

"Relax, Marie. I've got this," she said as her feet hit the ground safely a moment later. Suddenly, both sisters realized that the wind had died down as suddenly as it came. With it, all noise in the world seemed to have disappeared as well...

Silence.  The only sound I hated most.  The world seemed too quiet without noise.  Marie squaked at me but I ignore it, thinking about touching the sky.

I turn away to a world the opposite of Tracy, California.  I walk away.  Marie is going to be so mad at me.  I turn into a random store which just happens to be a bookstore.

The girl at the desk looks little more than 14, Marie's age, but she seems to be running things.  A plaque on her desk reads,"Queen Marie."
