Almost Fairy Tale by Camelia S.

We finally landed in Baritz terminal and I had the longest flight in my life. I haven't been to Europe before, ever. Our financial situation didn't let us travel even across the country. I skipped all trips with school even around New York. I just could dream to visit Europe. "Josie, can you please stop daydreaming and hold a little princess for a few minutes!" my mother's voice made to wake up. "Come here little monkey!" Lara gave me a wide smile when I lift her up and she wrapped hands around me. My mother was picking up toys and clothes from the seats which my sister threw around. Lara was sitting on my lap with a frown on her face and try to run away from me. This journey extremely long for a hyperactive child like her. Finally, we are are here. Where I truly don't know yet nothing and no one in a foreign country. I left my friends and my old school travelled here a thousand miles away from my dear auntie, which is my mom's best friend and like a second mom to me. All changes began when my mom met Perre a year ago. She meets with him almost every day and he fulfils all her needs with pleasure. I was staying with my aunt Jessica and babysat my sister. "Josie give me my princess and grab a suitcase instead. Pierre waiting for us already! Why is taking so long to open the door?!" We were waiting with everyone get out from here for fresh air and see their families and beloved ones. What's waiting for me there? Lara was whining all the time to keep her brows furrowed. I was wondering what's take so long with preparing a few stairs. "Madame Laurent?" young flight attendant come to us. My mum turns to him and smile. "Mister Laurent send me to show a way out. May I? " he took the heavy suitcase from and grabbed my backpack as well, but I stopped him as saying it's not heaving. We followed him as we saw the light at the end of the tunnel. When we reached stairs and meet the warm rays of the sun. "Welcome to France, my girls!" down the stairs I saw the smiley my stepfather, Pierre's face. "Finally, oh Darling weather here is amazing! Hold a sister Josie!" she holds Pierre's hand help her walk down the stairs to his arms for a big hug. He kisses her cheeks and my mother rose. My sister seeing this start kick me with her feet to let her go and cry. Pierre come up and took her from me. The traitor was laughing in his arms and showed for my tongue. " Lara, little princess" he kissed her cheek and she spurred from happiness for calling her princess. He turned to me and gave me a side hug for my surprise. "Dear daughter, hope the flight was pleasant. Can't wait to show you chambers and they all belong to you." "Yes, thank you wasn't bad just really long. Chambers? Sounds so fancy.." "You will see Josie," he smirked at me. "But first lunch! We will go to the best coast diner for the most delicious seafood!" he commanded and we followed the lead. My sister frown as heard mentioned seafood. My new stepfather continued to astonish me but kept to myself and I just smile back. We eventually sat in a black car and moved from here. I just saw different streets and trees, people rush passing by. I felt so fatigued so let myself to sweet dreams...
