PANDORA

Chapter 4

Pearl’s journey begins, how is she going to survive? Where will she go? She had very little amount of money on her. Yes, she was going to go to Vault! It was the closest place to her, her dream city. She would go there, she had opportunities there, she would meet people, she will succeed there, she said to herself, as she stood up from the rock that she had sat on. “Okay Pearl, play times over, your life starts NOW!”

On her way to Vault she came across a miner whose name was Theo Patric. Theo Patric said to Pearl, “hey lad, it’s been a while you walked past, you good?” “You know me?” Pearl asked him. “Of course, I know you, you used to pass here every Friday with some goods but you haven’t passed by for some Fridays now.” “Oh yes, my grandma was sick.” “Oh my, sorry about that, so were you heading?” “I’m going to Vault” Pearl said proudly. “Ay, Vault, big city, good luck there.”

Pearl arrived Vault at night, everywhere was dark but the city was still lively. The first thing she did was to buy some food with the little money she had, so she went to the baker’s stand to get some bread; at the baker’s stand, there was a long queue, people had travelled far and wide to buy bread from him because his bread was the weightiest, the cheapest and the longest lasting. Pearl looked at the queue, “Oh, I don’t think I can wait, all these people have where to sleep tonight but I don’t, I better get something else to eat.” As she turned back to leave, she bumped into someone that was carrying a lot of baking materials and they fell to the ground. “Oh my, I’m so sorry, let me help you pick this up,” Pearl said as she bent down to pick up the things that fell. When they were done picking them up, they both stood up and lo and behold Pearl saw the bluest, brightest eyes she had ever seen. “Thank you for assisting, I’m Chloe by the way.”💫
