Anna and the Lady

Chapter One
      “I wish everything could go back to normal.” Poof. Everything goes to normal, but she was gone.
Chapter Two
Anna Henley, an eleven-year-old Vancouver girl has a good family. They are not poor. She has a mother, a father and two seventeen-year-old sisters. Her sisters are twins.
      A few weeks ago, Anna father found a very good job which has high payment in Seattle. So her whole family moved to Seattle for this job.
      They bought a big house with a big yard in the suburbs.
Chapter Three
Anna’s mother allowed the girls to choose their own room. They were happy about that. Anna wandered around the house. It is a huge house. It is a two-story house (not included basement or attic). There are at least ten bedrooms in total. Why would dad buy such a big house?? Anna wondered.
Her two sisters ran up the stairs vying for big rooms with pretty dressers. Then Anna walked upstairs after them. She went to the attic at first. There is a bedroom up there. It is not a big room but a special one. The walls are all painted. There was a lady painted on one wall. It was neat and clean. Anna thought it was wall paper in the first glance. However, after she touched it, she realized it was just painting, very pretty painting. She looked closer
The lady looked very young – like a university student. She was wearing a white gown. Her hair was smooth, long and blond. Her left hand was holding a long wand. A white dove with clean feather was held by the lady.
Peace. This was the only word that appeared in Anna’s brain.
She chose attic to be her bedroom without viewing other rooms.

Chapter Four
      Dinner time, Anna’s sisters were both chewing loudly with their mouth opened.  Her father was reading newspaper. Anna felt so uncomfortable.
      “Dad, can you stop reading newspapers and ask sisters to close their mouth when they are chewing??” Anna asked.
      “Ummm…… Why? They are bothering neither me nor you. So you just need to eat your supper!” Her father replied harshly.
      “Hey! Did you hear that? Little Anna is asking her older sisters to close their mouth!!! Hahaha!!!” Angela, one of her sister mumbled.
      “Exactly! That’s not respectful.” Janice, the other sister mumbled back.
      They were staring at Anna while they were talking. Anna thought they were just provoking her. She tried to ignore them, but they started again.
      “Hey. I can tell Anna is enduring us. Heehee. She looks so funny right?” Angela whispered.
      “I know right! Hahaha!” Janice whispered back.
      Anna couldn’t endure it anymore, and argued back quietly, “I want to cut your tongue off, and sew your mouth up!”
      “Huh! Anna is so mean!!! How dare her!!!” Angela yelled.
      “Huh? What’s the matter, honey?” Anna’s father asked nervously.
      “Anna! She said she wants to cut our tongues off, and sew our mouths up!!!” Angela explained. “What!? Really!? How can she say that!!!??? Ugh~ That hurts my feelings,” Janice kicked up a fuss.
      “Really!? How can you say that, Anna? They are your sisters! They are much older than you. You need to respect them! Apologize! Quick!” Her father said harshly.
      “But, dad, they started it! Why me……” Anna tried to tell the truth.
      Anna’s father interrupted, closed his eyes and shook his head hardly, “no, no, no, no…… I will not spoil you! Just apologize, and everything can be forgiven.”
       “Ugh…… But……” Anna’s eyes filled of tears. Her sisters were giggling without making any sounds. Anna wanted to explain, but she was too frustrated. They will never understand me, Anna thought. She didn’t want to apologize, because she shouldn’t – it was not her fault – she was innocent.
      She ran to her room and cried loudly. She heard her mother talking to her father, “Ugh. Teenage girls ARE annoying and wilful. Don’t be mad.” Her father sighed.
      No one can ever help me. That is so sad, so sorrowful, so painful, Anna thought. She became more disappointed and annoyed.
      She fell asleep.

 
Chapter Five
      She woke up in the next morning. It was five. It was bright outside. The birds were singing in the trees. The trees were dancing under the wind. They seem happy for their freedom. However, Anna’s emotions were definitely the opposite with the outside living things. She still could not forget what happened yesterday night. She felt terrible whenever she thought about that. She tried to think of some ideas to forget the pains and unrighteousness. She tried not to think about dying, but it was the only thing that could help.
      She was too frustrated. She thought, no one loves me, and no one cares about me. To them, I am just a piece of dust. I could only give them sadness or troubles. I am living for nothing. It is so empty in my heart. If I died, they would be regretful that they did those unfair things. No, maybe they wouldn’t. Probably no one would cry on my funeral, or maybe they would not spend time and money on doing a funeral. Or maybe no one would notice I was gone! They would find my body, and threw my body into a random garbage can, and forgot me…….
      Anna refused to think more about that. She felt even more terrible and horrid. She felt sad for her life and her family. She ended up writing a posthumous paper. However, she had no ideas how to start. She stared at the wall with the lady painted which she was facing.
“WHAT THE HECK!?” Anna yelled. She saw the lady’s eyeball moving. She was looking at Anna. Then after Anna looked at her, she became normal. Anna rolled her eyes.
“Are you there? You are alive, aren’t you? Come on~ Show me you are alive.” Anna was just too bored. She was actually talking to nothing. She never accepted that the lady was going to answer. But it did – The lady’s nose moved, and her eyeballs moved too.
“Ah!” Anna yelled. She stood up immediately and nearly fell onto her chair again. Oh gosh!! I am making troubles again! Anna thought.
The lady started moving her mouth, and talked, “Hey, I am glad I am alive again. Thank ……”
“No, it’s okay. You can go to your world again. I am so sorry I woke you up. You know, I didn’t mean to. Sorry. You can just go to your world and PLEASE forgive me for waking you up or anything……” Anna interrupted, and tried to make everything normal.
“No, wait. You woke me up, and I am very grateful. It was so boring in the wall…….” The lady in the wall which was not supposed to talk said, but was interrupted again.
“Huh! You mean, I…… I have magic?! Wow! I never knew!” Anna said happily.
“Ummm…… I don’t think so. Look. I am a peace keeper and also a princess. You can call me Lady Peace or whatever you want to call me. I was cursed by a witch. So I could move only when I have an owner, or when someone is in the room,” The lady said.
“Oh…… Hi! I am Anna Henley. I am eleven, from Vancouver. I like to play Karate, and I am very good at it. This is my new house. And this is the first day to go to my new school. I have two seventeen-year-old sisters who are twins. They are mean and annoying. Yesterday, my parents and my sisters had a fight with me and……” Anna wanted to tell someone about her pains, but she got interrupted.
“Yea, I know. I heard it.” Lady Peace said.
“That was embarrassing.” Anna said and smiled childishly.
“Okay……” Lady Peace didn’t know what to say.
“So…… What can you do for me – your dearest owner??” Anna asked and laughed childishly.
My dearest owner, I can give you four wishes. Don’t tell anyone. Once you did, I would be disappeared. Also, after I gave you the fianl wishes, my spirit would go……” Lady Peace smiled, said and got interrupted again.
“Seriously!!!??? Four wishes for free?? Oh my god! Awesome! I can’t believe I am having such a good luck! Is there any rules?” Anna asked.
“Nope, not at all~” Lady Peace said proudly.
“Look. You heard what had happened down stairs yesterday night……. Umm, can I make a wish about that?” Anna blinked her eyes, and asked quietly.
“Yup~ Go ahead!”
“Okay. I wish my sisters would disappear, and my parents would love me the most!” Anna said without breathing or thinking. She prepared for it for a long time already; she never knew she would have a chance to do it though.
“Okay, here we go~” Lady Peace said, and closed her eyes, inhaled, exhaled, and said again, “now, go and check it out.”
Anna didn’t seem to believe her, because she didn’t really do anything special. However, she listened and went to her sisters’ room. Her sisters were not in their rooms. Their rooms were clean and neat. No clothes, no laptops, no cell phones, no toys, no suitcases, and no make ups.
Downstairs, as her mother saw her, she hugged Anna and kissed her. Anna’s father was cooking in the kitchen. When he saw Anna, he gave Anna a huge smile.
Oh my god! This is perfect! Anna thought. Then she packed her backpack and went to school.
Chapter Six
      At school, she hasn’t made any friends yet. However, a girl saw her and walked to her. “Hey yo new girl, how’s it going, hah? I am Nicole. Just let you know me.” She said.
      “Nice to meet you. I am Anna.” Anna said politely.
      “I am Melody. And ha! Nice skirt.” Nicole’s friend said.
      “Nice to meet you, too. And thank……” Anna replied. As she saying ‘thank you’, Nicole pulled her skirt down.
      “You are welcome, Anna~ See you.” Nicole said and walked away with her friend, Melody.
      “Huh!” Anna gasped, looked down to her legs with skinny pants, pulled the skirt up and said, “I don’t even know you two. Why would you do that to me? What did I do to you?”
      Nicole turned back and said, “haha. You didn’t do anything to us. I did that, because we hate you! You are just too ugly! Haha! Also, you need to thank you once more, because I didn’t even pull your skinny pants down to show everyone your underwear! Hahaha!” And Melody laughed so hard that she couldn’t even breathe.
      “Duh, you are ugly and mean!!!” Anna mumbled angrily.
Chapter Seven
      At home, Anna’s parents were nice but garrulous. They made Anna eat all of her food at dinner time, taught her to do all the homework correctly without making any mistakes, helped her tidy up all of her belongs. However, Anna didn’t want to eat a lot as her mother asked her to, didn’t want to spend much time on her boring homework, didn’t want her mother to see her secrets or threw away her garbage which was Anna’s treasures – they just kept caring the business that Anna didn’t want them to care. She was annoyed. Also, she felt bored and lonely, because she couldn’t go and argue with her sisters. Sometimes, Anna thought arguing was quite fun.
      Fortunately, she has a friend in her room – Lady Peace. Anna started having conversations with her when Anna felt lonely.
      “I had a terrible time at school today. I haven’t made any friends at all. But I have been embarrassed by two girls who are both shorter and smaller than me! They pulled my skirt off!! That was so embarrassing!” Anna sighed.
      “Why don’t you hit them? They are both shorter and smaller than you. Also, I thought you have learned Karate, is that true? Sure you can beat them down.” Lady Peace tried to help her.
      “No! Do you even know the rules at school? ‘There shall not be violent fighting between anybody.’ I will be kicked out of this school if I do so. I would love to hit them with my fists and my legs! The point is I can’t.”Anna said.
      “Calm down, Anna. Aw~ Poor little Anna needs some help I think~” Lady Peace said softly, and she walked down the wall and hugged Anna.
      “Yea, I think I need to use another wish. May I?” Anna said.
      “Sure. Go ahead~”
      “I wish I could be friend with Nicole and I wish she would be nice to me.” Anna said seriously.
      Lady Peace closed her eyes, inhaled, exhaled, and said, “Sure. You will see my work tomorrow.” Lady Peace sat on Anna’s bed with Anna.
      “Thank you so much, Lady Peace. You always help me. You can give me everything I want. I don’t want to lose you. You are my real treasure. I am sorry I was mad.” Anna said and smiled to Lady Peace.
      “Aw~ It is my pleasure, sweetie.” Lady peace said, and put an arm around Anna’s shoulder, and squeezed.
      Silence......
      “I want to go to bed now. Good night.” Anna said.
      “Okay. Have a sweet dream.”
      Then the Lady Peace helped Anna to cover her sheets on her and sang her songs to help her fall asleep. The dove – Lady Peace’s pet flew to Anna’s bed lamp and sat still. Peace was flowing in Anna’s body. She could feel love, too. She fell asleep.
Chapter Eight
      The next morning, Anna woke up. She saw Lady Peace was sitting beside Anna’s bed with the position she was yesterday night.
      “Good morning, Anna.” Lady Peace said.
      “Good morning. You didn’t sleep the whole night?” Anna asked, sat up and rolled her eyes.
      “Nope, not at all. I don’t need to sleep.”
      “Wow. Nice. You weren’t bored when no one talks to you?” Anna asked again.
      “Nah, not really. I habituate to it already, because every night, it goes like this.”
      “Wow. Do you want me to get a bed for you, or a room?” Anna asked again.
      “Haha. No, it’s okay. I appreciate that. Also, I cannot live this room. Never. I don’t have freedom.” Lady Peace said, and she repeated again, “I appreciate that. You are thoughtful. Thank you.”

 
Chapter Nine
      At school, Nicole walked straight to Anna as Anna walked into the school gate. At first, Anna was afraid Nicole would make fun on her again. So she started running. However, she remembered that the wish she made yesterday night. So she stopped running and turned and walked to Nicole. Anna trusted Lady Peace. She believed that every wish would come true.
      And it did. “Hey Anna! Good morning~” Nicole yelled and ran to Anna.
      “Hi Nicole~” Anna said. Freaky…… Anna thought, wow, I am talking to a stranger who bullied me yesterday.
      “Hey! Nicole! You just ignored me and ran to Anna! Let’s go and find a kid to make fun!” Melody said loudly, and made a face to Anna.
      “Wait. What? Find a kid to make fun? What’s wrong with you?” Nicole asked loudly.
      “Yea, find a kid to make fun. Is that wrong?”
      “Of course it is! You are crazy! I am not a bully! I never do that kinda stuff! Find someone else! I don’t know you~” Nicole said.
      Silence……
      “Wait…… Stop joking,” Melody laughed, “it is not April Fools. Remember? You pulled her skirt off!”
      “What the!? I did that?! You did that! How dare you!? Stop passing the buck! She is my best friend! How could I do that? Do not ever try to separate our friendship! Do not ever even try to mess things up! You are not my friend. Why would I trust you!?” Nicole yelled.
      Everyone was staring at the three of them. Melody looked innocent and suspicious. Later, Melody’s eyes became red and blurry. Anna felt sad and sympathetic for Melody. She also felt embarrassed for Nicole and herself. She wanted to tell Nicole about the magic, but she remembered that she has promised Lady Peace to not tell anyone. Therefore, she didn’t.
      That afternoon, Anna heard someone crying in the girls’ washroom. Sure enough, it was Melody. Anna walked into the washroom and tried to stop Melody.
      However, she didn’t get a good remuneration. “No. You! Go away! You have your friend. Go and find her! Not a poor girl! I warn you! Get out of here!’’ Melody shouted.
      “No. Wait. We can be friends, right? Don’t be mad at me. You can be my friend too. And the three of us can be friends too.” Anna said softly.
      “No! You stole my friend. Don’t provoke me! I will NOT be your friend.” Melody shouted loudly, especially at the ‘not’ and coughed.
      “Calm down, Melody. I can talk to Nicole, right? We sure can be friends.” Anna said mildly.
      “No. Stop acting nice. You don’t need to be nice, because we are NOT friends and we will NOT be friends either.” Melody said and choked.
      Anna had no choices. She walked out of the washroom disappointedly.

Chapter Ten
      At home, Anna headed straight to her room, trying to ignore her parents’ garrulousness. She wanted to tell Lady Peace everything that happened at school.
       “I just couldn’t make Melody my friend. She was so mad and so rude. She was not being in her right minds.” Anna said.
      “Aw~ Do you want to use another wish??”
      “Nah. I don’t think I should spend two wishes on ‘friends’ section,” Anna replied, “Because I guess I still need more in the future.”
      “Just let you know. You don’t have to be friend with her.” Lady Peace always wanted to help Anna, “At least you have Nicole as your best friend, right?”
      “Yea, I guess.”Anna said.
      Anna started doing her homework, and Lady Peace was helping her on her homework.
Chapter Eleven
      During the weeks at school, Anna knew a lot of people already.
      Also, Anna as other girls has her crush. She likes a cool boy, Daniel.
      The boy, Daniel is one grade higher than Anna. He is tall and strong. He has a bunch of friends. However, Daniel never looked at Anna before. But Anna always looks at Daniel at the gym when Daniel was playing basketball games with his team.
      At home, Anna always tells Lady Peace how much Anna likes Daniel. (Anna always tells Lady Peace every secret, because she was Anna’s closest friend, and she always listens to Anna.)
      Once, Lady Peace said, “I understand how much you like him.”
      “Yea, cool,” Anna said, “and I really wish he could like me back.”
      “Then why don’t you make a wish about this?”
      “Huh! Oh yea!!!” Anna, gasped, yelled, and jumped up and danced around.
      “I was just kidding. But I can’t believe I really helped you~ Haha.” Lady Peace said.
      “Yea! Thank you for reminding me! You are definitely a genius! I wish Daniel Jones liked me.” Anna said seriously.
      Lady Peace closed her eyes, inhaled, exhaled, and said, “Okay. You will realize he likes you in a few days.”
      “Oh gosh! I can’t even believe this just happened! Thank you sooooooo much!!!” Anna ran to Lady Peace and hugged her childishly.

 
Chapter Twelve
      During the next few days, Daniel’s friends always push Daniel to Anna when Anna was walking by. Sometimes, Daniel even smiles at Anna, and his cheeks were red.
      An afternoon, Daniel and his friends walked toward Anna. Anna felt shy so she started to run. Then the boys started to chase. Daniel yelled, “Wait. I just want to tell you something.”
      Then Anna slowed down and turned back to Daniel, and smiled, “What is it?” Anna already knew what Daniel would say. She chose to make it a bit romantic. Therefore, she decided to give him a chance and waited.
      Nobody was around, except for Anna, Daniel and his friends.
      Tommy walked closer, and said, “Um…… Actually, I…… I like you. I……” Then he looked down to the floor. His cheeks were so red.
      “Heehee,” Anna giggled. She believed her face was very red too, because she felt her face becoming hotter and hotter.
      Then Anna walked away. She heard Daniel’s friends laughing and doing high fives.
Chapter Thirteen
      At school, Anna felt very uncomfortable. Now everyone at school knew that Anna and Daniel were in ‘love’. The girls who liked Daniel were very cold to Anna. Even one of the girls said to Anna, “Duh~ Anna, you are way too far to be Daniel’s girlfriend. Boo!” These days, Tommy’s grades were falling down.
      One afternoon, a strange girl walked to Anna and said, “You, a poor ugly girl ruined Daniel, a smart handsome boy’s life. You are definitely a sucker, jerk and loser!”
         Daniel walked to the strange girl, and said to her harshly, “Hey hey, Excuse me? What’s your problem!? Who do you think you are? An idiot who is trying to care about other people’s business? You are jealous don’t you? I warn you! Go away! Never let me see you again!”
      Then, the strange girl had no things to say. She walked away unpleasantly.
      Anna felt distracted but proud. She was distracted because Daniel would get in troubles, happy because Daniel saved her face.
      Currently, people started saying bad things about Daniel and Anna. However, Daniel didn’t seem to feel it.
      “Didn’t you notice you are not the Daniel you were? People don’t respect or like you. Teachers don’t trust you. They say you are crazy of me. You are way too young for this!”Anna said madly.
      “I know, but I am glad. I don’t care about what other people say. I don’t care about my grades, my friends, my teachers, my parents. They seem to be thin air to me. Only you, you, you are the special one. I like you too much. I cannot control. ” Daniel said and smiled.
      “It is not funny. And you can control yourself. Seriously! You are embarrassing both of us. Do you know that?! This is not the world for only the two of us! There are many people judging us. So please stop being selfish!’’Anna said madly.
      “Oh. Okay. Okay. Sure. I’m sorry. Okay. Sure. I will listen,” Daniel said with a sneer, “I will give you freedom, and we can go to our own road, to our own future.”
      “No. Wait. Look……” Anna tried to explain, but Daniel walked away already.
      “Aha! You are not Daniel’s girlfriend anymore. Too bad~ He dumped you! Hahaha!” The strange girl walked back and said and laughed.

Chapter Fourteen
      At home, Anna headed to her room.
“How’s school today, Ann?” Lady Peace said.
      “Bad. Why does your magic always go so far and over?” Anna asked.
      “I dunno~” Lady Peace answered carelessly
      “Ha! I know! That’s because you are helpless and useless!” Anna was very upset about what happened at school. So she just said it out loud inappropriately.
      “Wait. My ears freaked out today. Wait a sec.” Lady Peace said.
      “Nope~ Your ears are very fine today. I did say you are helpless and useless.”Anna said again.
      “Excuse me? You mean…… What!? That is your problem if you don’t like my magic. I did whatever you said.” Lady Peace refused to admit.
      “Duh~ So still, you are useless and helpless.”
      “Ugh! Human! Human are all the same! You know why my magic doesn’t help? Because, you, you are vain and greedy. After you make a wish, you feel good at the beginning, and you ended up wanting more and better! You don’t know how to be nice or satisfied.” The lady said madly, “Okay. Cool~ I am so regretful to meet you. I was wrong. You are not the real Anna. I better just stay in the wall where I was supposed to be I am sorry that I am useless and helpless. I am sorry. Bye.”
      “Okay. Sure. You can stay in the wall. Who cares about you!? Good for me and good for you. Bye~” Anna said madly.

Chapter Fifteen
      It is the middle of the night. Anna could not fall asleep without Lady Peace’s ‘Lullabies’. The curtain was open. The direct moon light was so bright. She felt bad for her family, her friends, her foe, her boyfriend, Lady Peace, but mostly, for herself.
      She felt guilty. She felt like…… she thought she tricked her people, actually, she thought she tricked herself the most. She wanted to start all over again. She remembered this was the final wish she had.
      “Lady Peace? Excuse me? Are you there?” Anna said.
      Silence……
      “I was sorry. I was just too frustrated about losing a friend yesterday. I am so sorry. I shouldn’t be mad at you. It was my entire fault. Sorry.” Anna apologized. She hoped Lady Peace would reply.
      Still silence……
      “Okay. I will just leave you alone if you are still mad. I just want you to know. And actually, I need your help. You are helpful and useful. If you need to ignore me, sure you can. I don’t blame you, because it was my entire fault.” Anna said. She felt like she was talking to nothing, even though the lady’s appearance is still on the wall.
      Silence……
      “Then what do you need?” A familiar sound said.
      Anna jumped up from her bed, and yelled, “Lady Peace! You are back! I was so sorry!”
      “Tell me what you need~” Lady Peace was still that calm.
      Anna said, “You are so awesome! You always listen to me! You are so awesome! You always help me at where I need when I was frustrated! You are just perfect~” It wasn’t just anything to make Lady Peace to forgive her. It was really what Anna thought.
      “’Kay…… What do you need?” Lady Peace stayed calm and repeated.
      “Can I have another wish?? Please~” Anna asked politely.
      “Remember? This is your final wish. And you can never change it. You have to be very sure!”
      “I know. I am very sure already.”Anna said.
“’Kay…… Go ahead~”
“I wish everything could go back to normal.” Anna said seriously. Poof. Everything goes back to normal – she heard her sisters arguing and her parents talking impolitely.
      The peace keeper didn’t close her eyes or inhale or exhale or say anything. She was gone – she wasn’t on the wall anymore.
      “Hello?? Where are you? Hello?” Anna asked. She thought that was just a joke.
      Silence……
      “Seriously! Where are you??” Anna Asked again.
      Still silence……
      “What the heck!” She whispered. She never felt so lonely at her own room before.
She found her shoes, and walked toward to glasses on the desk and tried to find Lady Peace. However, she found something on the desk under her glasses. It was a piece of note. She sat down and started reading.
      Dear Anna,
Hey, Anna, I am so sorry about what I said yesterday night. I shouldn’t judge human. I never mean to be mean to you. I am so sorry. I was just upset. And there is something very important to me. I lost you. And I will never be back – I will go forever. I was going to tell you that. But you are just too important to me. After I noticed you, as a teenager has a lot of troubles, and you only have four wishes. If I tell you about I would be gone, I bet you would use a wish on me to not let me go. Then you only have few wishes left. I hope you could help yourself more than you help me. So please forgive me if you are mad that I didn’t tell you.
       I am sorry. There is another thing I want to tell you. I am not any peace keeper nor princess. I am just a bunch of paint which was painted by some random workers. I don’t know where my magic came from. No, actually, I was supposed to be a peace keeper on the wall though. However, there are two slightly different things about me and the real princess – peace keeper. I don’t have any royal blood. Or you can say, I don’t even have any blood.
       I really treasure the time we were together. You make me feel love. You are my closest friend and I like you so much. You are kind and nice and thoughtful. You gave me right to be loved and to feel the love and you gave me the right to not be lonely. I appreciate that. I will remember you forever. I will never remember the time we were in a fight.
       I am just too sad to leave. But whenever I thought about you, I feel happy. (I hope you feel the same way.) I hope you would never forget me either. I hope you would have a good time in the rest of your life.
       Love Peace Keeper
       Ps, I feel guilty when I call myself a ‘peace keeper’ which I am not.
      Anna felt so guilty, sorrowful and regretful. She never knew that Lady Peace would be gone after the final wish. She sat in her bed, and thought about the lady. She didn’t and couldn’t believe the truth. She helped Anna on everything she could. She didn’t know how to live without a friend who really cares about her. She wanted to cry. However, there were no tears in her eyes. A strong feeling made her calm. Anna could feel the lady! She was with Anna even she was not in sight. She was in Anna’s heart. She is the strong feeling!
      The lady can die for my sakes. Why am I doing the thing she didn’t like me to do?? I should feel faith more than shame! I should hear righteous more than weakness! I should brightness more darkness! I should be a strong and brave girl that does things good and right. I really should change myself. I should be a girl that the lady would die for!  I should never disappoint her again!  Anna thought. 
      During those few days after, Anna always thought about that. She determined and promised herself that she would make Lady Peace proud. So Anna decided and replied a letter to Lady Peace to tell her that her improvement,
Dear Lady,
There are some good things happened –My grades are becoming better and better, so my mother and father became very proud of me. I think they love me more than anyone else. And Daniel’s still the strong, cool boy. However, Daniel didn’t seem to forget the memories. He always smile to me and talk to me. And guess what! We became friends! Just friends~ :P
  There are some bad things too. My sisters are still annoying. They always trick me like a kiddo. However, my parents are on my side. Therefore, I can choose to give them a chance or just tell on them and punish them. But that night, they begged me not to tell on them. So I didn’t. They were very grateful that night. However, they change to normal – annoying, the next day. Haha. I knew they would already. I have never hoped them to change to good girls. Who cares!? I forgive them~ J Haha! My classmates, Melody and Nicole are still that evil like before. But look at the bright side too – I have learned to ignore them and give them a smile when they are being mean.
Honestly and proudly, I really think that I grew up after you were gone. Also, I found the real meaning of life.
Thank you for teaching me to open my mind even you never said anything, but I can feel it in the way you do things. Teeheehee~
I miss you so much. I hope you can come back and visit me and let me see you again someday.  
Love, Anna Henley
Ps, I don’t mind if you call yourself a ‘peace keeper’. J
      After she finished writing it, she put it beside where Lady’s letter was. She hoped it would be replied someday. She still didn’t believe that the lady was gone forever.
      After a few days, it still wasn’t replied. However, Anna felt confident. She believes Lady Peace did and will see it someday, some time.
