Chapter 2

Where am I?

When I woke up I was in a house. The world was fuzzy then came into focus. I was lying in a blue bed in a small room. Sea shells covering the walls. The floor was what looked to me like sand. The door started to open. Fear rushed through me. A woman peeked her head through the door.

"You're awake and alive!" she sounded very excited to see me alive "when drench brought you here you were as limp as a gummy worm I was worried that you had gotten so much water in your lungs that you had died."

what was she talking about?

"Water?" I was confused

"Oh you must not remember drench saved you from drowning."

I was so confused then Drench came in his face was full of worry.

"You're alright" he said "dude I thought you died of fright..... I mean you drown" he lied through his teeth with his mother right there.

"Wait were am I?"

The woman who must be his mother walked into the room. She was wearing a light yellow dress with purple flowers.

"You're in my home dear" she said

"no like what country? America, Africa, Europe?"

"What are those places? You're in Trester" my mind was confused what in the world is tresture?

"Well I have to go well snowflake, welcome to tresture!" drench said walking out of the room

"Darling you look plain awful!" drenches mother said. "My names rainy and you are snowflake?"

I nodded my head.

"Come with me ill get you freshened up, Come on" she motioned her hand for me to follow her.

I got out of the bed I set my foot down and staggered. Rainy looked concerned but just let me do it myself. We walked into a hall. the walls were made of small pieces of glass which glinted the sunlight in many different directions. I awed as we walked through the hall different colors of light glinting off my clothes.

"Here we are this is my room." We walked into a room with a king sized bed .

walking through the house I have learned that the entire floor is sand. the walls are covered with seashells of different sizes and colors that create a pattern. Except for the hall way.

The room I was in now had wood flooring. The walls were covered with the prettiest purple and blue sea shells I have ever seen. She walked me into the closet. This was like a separate room. There were cloths of every size and color. it was crazy there were all sorts of beauty products imaginable.

As I looked into the depths of the cloths hanging. I saw a glint of medal I walked towards it. It looked like a small dagger. Before I could look closely at it Rainy came in

"Sit down." she said patting the chair sitting in front of the mirror.

I sat down. What I saw in the mirror was horrible. My eyes were puffy from loss of sleep. My hair was muddy and burnt. Were the lava ball had hit. My clothes were ripped, and tattered, but mostly burned. And my sleeve was blood stained from a gash in my arm. I touched it and winced in pain.

Rainy came over and looked at my hair. Her dainty fingers pulling gently at it. A look of disgust went on her face. She tried to hide it. But I know I looked awful. She started to fill the sink with warm water. I was wondering what a dagger was doing in her closet. When she dunked my hair in the warm water which soaked my head it felt so good. She worked out most of the mud and grass and anything that had gotten caught in my hair.

When she set me straight up again my hair dripped on my shirt. The water was a muddy color. I looked up at it rainy then grabbed a comb. She started brushing it pulled. But I didn't shout I bore through it. When she stopped combing she examined the burnt part of my hair.

"So snowflake where do you live?" she asked getting out a pair of hair scissors.

"No where I'm sort of an orphan I'm on my own."

She motioned her scissors towards me as if to ask if she could cut my hair I nodded in agreement

"That's horrible you can stay here with us for the time being" she said cutting my hair

My streaks were barely visible they were so dusty. then she washed my hair again. the shampoo bubbled around my head. when I pulled my head out of the water rainy gasped. she quickly pulled away her fingers. Then touched my hair nervously. she noticing that I noticed she was shaking. she tried to regain her composure but I still noticed.

"What!?" I said sort of put off

"Nothing it's really nothing" rainy said combing out my hair again but more carefully but why?

Her hands were shaking. She went into her closet and brought out a dress. It was gray and blue and white. The colors were in waves going across the dress it was wonderful

"For me?" I said she nodded her head.

I went and put it on. it fit perfectly which was a little strange. I walked out. Rainy twirled her finger around. I spun

"beautiful, come on" she walked out of the room. I followed her.
