Finally, She thought to herself as she put her quill back in the bottle of black ink. Her eyes ran over the words she had just wrote, the last few paragraphs to her book. My book. Her eyes closed for a moment, a smile formed on her lips. Barley anyone thought she'd be able to do it and the very few that did, didn't think it would end up on the shelves because... well who would publish a womens work? Who would take the time to read a womens work?
She grabbed the last paper and added it to her tall stack before she rose from her chair. Maria grabbed her stack of papers and put them in her brown leather bag before pushing in her chair and heading to the door to seemif that carriage that had arrived a few minutes ago was still there. Opening her from door, she saw it standing there, two large black horses standing there, waiting for her. With a bright smile, she shut the door behind her and ran to the carriage, getting into the back.
As she got in, she couldn't stop herself from bouncing a bit. Finally, all those people who thought she would never get published... Oh she just couldn't wait to see their faces when they saw her book on the shelves! It didn't take long to get into town, really only a few minutes and soon the horse was she pulled up in front of the town book store.
Maria grabbed her things and climbed out of the carriage, giving the driver two silver coins before heading inside. "Thank you sir!" She called to him as he started to drive away. She turned back to the store and walked inside, the small bell ringing as she went in. The store looked to be completely empty. "Mr. Debber?" She called out a bit confused.
From the back she could hear a some rusuling before a man about 28 with shaggy brown hair and deep green eyes walked out. He wore a smile on his face before he saw her.
"Maria, what are you doing here?" He asked her, crossing his arms.
"I finished!" She told him, holding out the bag. I finished the book!" Mr. Debber was the one man in town who believed she could write, He even thought he could get her book out in the world. He was the only man she trusted in town... or at least was.
Mr. Debber reached out and took the bag before laying it on the counter. "Maria... what... l mean," His face was twisted in reaget and confusion. "Maria, l... l can't put this on my shelves." He said finally.
Her smile faded. "W-what do you mean you can't. Mr. Debber, you said you would! You said if l wrote it, you would look it over and publis-"
"I didn't think you would write it all!" He interrupted. "You looked so upset, so put down.... Maria, l just wanted to make you feel better." He uncrossed his arms before placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, but if l put that up, l'll become a town joke. No one will come here anymore. You must understand."
Maria stared at him, her eyes watering a bit from the betral. How dare he! How dare he make a fool out of me! She shot back, her face twisting into that of rage. "My book will get on the shelf Mr Debber, you have my word on that. And people will love it! They... they'll love it so much, it'll suck them in!" She pointed to him, "Starting with your blood line." She watched his face twist to horror at her words before she turned and left the store.
"Maria!" She could hear him yell. "Maria you can't do this!" She kept walking. "Witch! Take your curse off!" A grin crossed the young ladies face as she headed home.
No one should ever trick a witch.
