Criticism

I live in a very large family.
There is Fourteen people, and I am the ninth child.
Being a small and young person, I have had to deal with lots of criticism given to me by my older brothers and sisters. But being in a big family, criticism is one of the things that you will have to live with.
When my siblings criticize me, I always seem to get angry and annoyed with them. then I tell them to either go away or leave me alone to pout in peace. Then my Mother comes to me and says that criticism is apart of being wonderful. When people criticize you then that means that they are impressed by your talent and they want you to do even better.
When she told me this over and over and over, I finally got the hint and it has gotten better for me.
 

Chapter 2

Chester and Diane were racing across the table for their lives and they did not stop until they had reached the edge and they quietly scurried down the table leg and ran across the floor looking for the hole in the floor that led into the area where the chess pieces lived.
They reached it just in time. Mr Stowal was stomping around the room looking for something and his footfalls were shaking the whole floor!.
They went into the hole and climbed down the ladder that was posted there by the imperial troops that marched across there everyday.
Luckily, no one was there and Chester and Diane made it safely past the entrance.
Their hearts were pounding and the blood pumped in their veins as they raced to the place where they knew they would be heard and understood.
Chester's best friend was a rook whose name was David, and Chester knew that he would believe him when he told David about the awful things that were going to happen in a very short time.
They reached the guard house where David lived and Chester went up to the door and knocked loudly.
The door opened to reveal a man with dark wavy hair and soft grey eyes that were like mist.
He wore a black leather tunic, a black shirt, long black leggings and tall boots that were also black.
On his waist he had a small dagger.
When he saw Chester he grinned from ear to ear and his two dimples on both cheeks seemed to laugh out loud.
"Chester!" said David joyously
"David" said Chester in a serious voice.
"we need to talk to you. now"
David opened his mouth as if to say something but quickly shut it when he saw Diane looking at him intently.
"you had better come in then" said David
"the rest of the guys had to go on patrol, so I have the bunk house to myself"
"David" said Chester
"We found something out today and we need your help....."
Chester sat down and told David everything that he and Diane had found out and David listened to the whole story.
When Chester finished, he stood up and looked thoughtful for a moment. Then he said  "I think I know what to do"

Continuation

This is a continuation of the previous chapter one.

I know what happens now.

OK.
After Chester had heard the disturbing news he ran to tell Diane about what he had heard.
She was sitting at the fountain singing a song that went like this:

 .

           Tailor tailor hear my song 

Do it quick and don't be long

Make a dress of summer green

for I wish to make a scene.

When she saw Chester she got so excited and ran to him.
He told her all that he had overheard and when he finished she looked very solemn.
"what are we going to do?" she asked him.
"I have no idea" Chester replied.
They sat there for a while and then Chester sat up and smiled and said " I have a plan".

Mr. Stowal was packing his things and getting ready to move out.
He was miserable.
The store had been in his family for ten generations and he was not married and did not have any children to pass it on to.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he did not notice two little people, a boy and a girl running for their lives across the top of the table.

That is all that I can tell you for now.
Later I will reveal everything.

SUSPENSE!!!.
