A Moonacre twist

Chapter five

We finally finished the most boring tour I had ever had, and I was the one giving the tour! Finally we reached the main hall full of rooms
"Maria, your room is right there, Miss Heliotrope, your room is the third room on the left." I pointed down the hall at the rows of doors
"Why am I all the way down there? Why can't I be right here in a room next to yours?" She asked, shocked with what I had said
"I don't know, ask uncle?" I smirked
"But I don't want to stay in the tower" Maria pouted
"We'll how about you see it before you go judging it." I scolded, and with that we walked up the small flit of stairs, compared to mine, to the wooden door, I opened the door and stepped aside so Maria could see the room.
"Wow" was all she could mumble, I rolled my eyes and left the room. I dragged my bag of clothes up my flit of stairs, to my room in the tower. I smiled at the familiar picture and window, and walked through the little door into my room. it was exactly the same as I left it, i sat my bag down then jumped in the middle of the bed, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Home at last" I sighed, I got up and unpacked my bag, by the time I was done the dinner bell rang, signaling dinner was ready. I cascaded down the stairs of the tower and turned towards the dinning hall, I entered the room to be greeted by the fresh scent of stew, and Maria, and Miss Heliotrope's faces. I sat quietly in my seat beside the head of the table/uncle's chair, as digweed sat a steaming hot bowl of stew in front of me on the the table
"Thank you" I smiled and dug in. Uncle walked in after I was about halfway threw with my stew
"Did you finish your unfinished work" I questioned, while he sat down
"Yes, almost I have a little more paperwork to do" he replied and shoved some stew in his mouth
"Good, we'll I'm full, May I be excused" I asked
"Of course, I probably won't see you before you go to sleep, so good night" uncle said while hugging me
"Good night" I replied and exited the dinning hall. when I finally reached my room I took out the book my father left for me and Maria, and started to read. I was deeply enveloped in reading when I finally noticed the approaching foot steps, I shoved the book under my pillow and closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep. uncle entered the room and slowly came to my side of the bed, he bent down and lightly kissed my forehead, he then covered me in blankets and turned off the lights, and quietly exited my room. I sighed and pulled the book out from under the pillow, but denied to open it, instead I hugged it to my chest and drifted off into a deep dreamless sleep.
