The next morning we went from the school to the hospital. We were doing a volunteer outreach program. I hated hospitals. I've been in them one to many times with allergic reactions or my asthma. Plus I was shy, so being that I was shy I didn't like to interact to much with people I didn't know, cause I got anxious around them. I sat in a chair next to an older man who was reading. I didn't think he noticed so I just say there and started drawing. What are you drawing? I looked up and flushed. I'm sorry, I'm just a tad curious. Oh, uh I was drawing a ship. May I? I handed my book over shakily. He flipped through my art and frowned some. I know it's kinda terrible. No it's very good, actually. He said handing my book back. Tell you what, I want to see this when it's finished. I nodded some and kinda smirked and nodded. Daenerys? I looked up at Ms. Blanchard. Hello Mr. Cook, how're you today? Fine, this young lady here was showing me some art. Ah yes, Daenerys is the artist of fifteen kids that are here, she made some of the decorations you see. I smirked some turning red. I'm surprised she let you see the book. So who taught you to draw. I frowned some and shrugged. I don't know I've kinda always been good at it I guess. Well you had to learn from somewhere.

I came down the hall and saw mother at the desk doing something. I came in and frowned standing on my tip toes to see, my fingers wrapping around the table to try to pull up more. Yes Hayes? What are you doing? Drawing. I frowned pulling my cheek in. Such a serious face for such a small lass. Father said coming in and picking me up so I could see better. But why? Well, it's fun. She said and smiled. And calming. I looked at father frowning some as he nodded. She's right, but I'm afraid that we need you up on deck. He said to mother and she nodded. And you, it's nap time for little sea loving Irish lasses. He said before trying to tickle under my chin. Come on, brother is already in his bed.

I walked around down on the beach collecting shells. I had a bag made out of nets that I would collect sea shells or other things I found on the beach. I liked collecting things. When I was younger I would pretend I was a pirate and the things I had found was my treasure. DANI! I looked up and saw Henry, and Emma. I just waved and they came down. What are you doing down here? Emma asked and I shrugged. I come down here a lot actually. What's that? Sea shells, I collect them, and other things. She smirked and looked at Henry. So is she Ariel? I rolled my eyes. No, I'm not in the book. I said and Emma frowned some. No, I haven't figured out who you are, and she's not Ariel, she doesn't have red hair. So a girl, who likes collecting things by the sea shore, isn't Ariel. No. He said and I rolled my eyes some. Anything interesting? Yeah I found a bunch of old coins. I said pulling them out of my pocket. I can't seem to get dating anywhere. I said and Henry frowned. Maybe go to the pawn shop, Mr. Gold seems to be good at dating older things. I nodded and Emma frowned. Alright I gotta get going, if I wanna get those dates. I said and Henry nodded. Tell me what you find! I will. I called back as I already headed off the beach.

Emma

So who is she? Dani? You know-no in the book. He frowned some. I'm really not sure, I've always been able to put a name to someone and who they used to be, but Dani is a whole different story. I nodded some and he snapped his fingers. That's it! Maybe you can help me find out who she is! We can both gather more information on her than we already know and piece things together and try to figure out who she was! Kid I don't know- he stopped and wrote stuff down on paper. Here are people you can talk to, to find out more information on her. I took the list gobsmacked but didn't say anything. And since this is gonna be in your hands for a little bit maybe you can see if anyone matches up with her. Uh huh, ok Kid.

I woke up and came down the hall mother was back at the desk. Mama. She looked up. Hayes? I came running over and climbed into her lap. What is it? Can you show me how to do that? I asked pointing at the parchment she frowned some. Show you how to draw? I nodded and she smiled. Alright, I'll show you how to. I smiled crinkling my nose as I did. Alright let's get started then.
