STORY STARTER

Submitted by Ruth Benning

After the unexpected death of their considerably rich parents, the seemingly favourite child discovers they have been left out of the will entirely.

Continue this character's story from the moment they find out about the will.

The Favourite

The more they talked, the more it all seemed to be more and more real. That was that. My parents had died in a car accident.

Anne (my sister) wasn’t any less nervous than I was. They were reading my parents will.

I knew I’d get all the money, I mean I was the favourite. In our house Anne was barely noticed.

Not that I was happy they were dead, but the money was gonna be awesome!

“And the money will go to…”

I smirked at Anne.

“Anne.”

My heart dropped. That… couldn’t be true.

“Anne, since you are 18, you can legally adopt Katherine.”

Could this get any worse? I was the favourite, where was my money? Anne didn’t even glance at me.

“But that money is supposed to be mine!” I protested.

“I’m sorry miss but here it says Anne gets all the money because she is legally an adult and can take care of you.”

My vision was blurry. Anne gives me a sympathetic look. I don’t want her sympathy. I was in tears. I quickly got up and sprinted out of there. I got nothing.

Anne ram after me.

“Kathy!” She yelled. I stopped and turned around.

“What do you want?” I yelled back.

“You know money’s not all that matters.” She said.

“I HATE YOU!” I screamed. Everyone around us turned to look.

“That money was mine. I was supposed to get it, but no, because of you!” I broke down again. I would never go back to that house with Anne. I ran and didn’t stop for a while.
