There was a girl named Skylett, but everyone called 

her Skye. She lived in a downtown New York home 

with her mother and father. 

Her mother died when she was 8 years old due to a 

robbery where she was shot by the man who robbed 

her of everything she had with her.

The day before she died her mother gave her a locket. 

"I want to give you this. Now that you have it, it's part 

of you, just as you're part of me," said her mother.

Two years later, Skye's dad got married to a woman 

named Victoria. She had a daughter named Mariella, 

who was Skye's age. Little did her father know that 

Victoria was only loved two things: Mariella and 

money.

Victoria planned to take all the money Skye's father 

had so she and Mariella could live a life of luxury.

"We can finally get what we deserve," said Victoria to 

Mariella the day of the wedding.

"We'll take the money and leave Skye and her father 

with nothing."

Skye would spend the days cleaning, and when she had the 

chance, she would watch the news. She felt close to the 

world through the news, and close to Reyn.

Reyn was the son of a wealthy banker, and by looking at 

him she knew who he really was, even though she had 

never met him.

"There will be a fundraiser tomorrow at the residence of 

Reyn and his father, who will host the event. Anyone who 

would like to attend can go," said Reyn.

Having heard this, Skye finally had the need to leave the 

house.

"I need to go and finally meet him," she stated.

Having heard the news, Victoria decided Mariella and her 

would attend in order to make wealthy friends for their 

benefit.

"Victoria, I've never asked to leave and have always 

obeyed you. Now I'm asking, can I accompany you both to 

the fundraiser?" asked Skye.

"Oh, dear child. Of course you may not. What will the 

people at the fundraiser think of such a girl at your 

position? They'd laugh at you. Trust me, I'm doing you a 

favor," Victoria replied with such a demeaning tone.

But Skye was resolved on attending the fundraiser. So she 

decided to disobey Victoria and came up with a plan.

"Well, we're on our way. I expect to find everything as 

it is now when we come back," said Victoria.

"Of course, Victoria. Wouldn't have it any other way," 

responded Skye as Mariella and Victoria left the 

house.

She waited ten minutes, then ran down to the basement 

where all the stuff her mom and dad owned were 

stored. Skye decided to wear one of her mother's 

dresses. The dress was silver and fit her perfectly; as 

she put it on, she left the house and headed to upper 

New York, where the fundraiser would take place.
