As soon as the gates opened my jaw nearly hit the floor. Red, blue, pink and purple flowers bloomed everywhere. As a scanned the town I saw houses, tree houses and huts. Each were intricately decorated with tiny flowers and what seemed like sparkles? The houses were decorated with pictures of mountains that have been painted with paint and brush. The ground was covered with green grass and there were so many tall trees, each green and leafy. I walked forward to see 3 children scurrying up a tree. The ladder they were climbing on was moving by itself, by magic I guess. Beyond the houses and tree houses I saw an arena the size of central park. "Wow, this is so incredible" I said with excitement. " I'm glad you like it here" said Hunter. " whats that arena for?" I ask Hunter. " That is the fighting arena, where we train and battle" Hunter replied.
" Do you go there" I ask. " Yep, I go there everyday all week, its kind of like a job" Hunter said. Hunter turned back to me and grabs my hand. " Come on, follow me, I want to show you something" hunter said with excitement. Hunter lead me through the tree houses. We passed people dressed in armor and black clothes. Each of the women that I passed wore braids in their hair, and flowers behind their ears. The children ran around with smiles plastered o their faces, joy was in the air. Hunter started to slow down when we came up to shop. I looked up and read on the door "Miss Claire's Taylor shop". "What are we doing here?" I ask. " Well, I just thought that maybe you wanted to change out those burnt clothes..." I look down at my dress for the first time since the plane wreck. My dress which was blue and white before was now black and singed and had big splotches of blood in places. " Oh, yeah" I said. Hunter smirked and opened the door. Inside was the cutest little shop. The wallpaper was peach pink, with pictures of what must have been the customers of the store. The were mannequins with brightly colored dresses and shirts. There were boutiques of flowers and plants placed everywhere in the store. At the very back of the store was a counter. " Miss Claire, its Hunter!" he yelled. I watched as a stout little women came out of the back door with a handful of materials and fabrics. Hunter ran forward and collected the fabrics from Miss Claire's arms. " Oh, Hunter, I was wondering where you were off to" Miss Claire said. " Miss Claire I have come to ask you for a dress for my friend" Hunter asked. Miss Claire looked at me with her round brown eyes. " Oh, Hunter is this your girlfriend, you've hit the big time, haven't you!?" Miss Claire said with a grin. " uh, no, I'm not even his friend" I reply. Miss Claire scurried over to me and held up a tape measure to my shoulders and wrote down the measurements on a notebook. Hunter sat down on one of the white chairs in the corner and smiled. I lifted up my arms turned around and spun as Miss Claire measured my body.
She whipped her tape measure back into her apron and swiftly walked back to the back door. I walked over to Hunter, who had a smug look on his face. " You look so cute, when you're being measured". Hunter said " Shut up, how would you feel if you're boobs were being measured?" I asked. " I think I would be a bit turned on, especially if it was Miss Claire" Hunter said. " Ew, you're disgusting" I said. I walked over to Hunter and looked at the dress next to him. "You know I bet this would look great on you" i said picking up a blue and pink lacy dress. " What are you suggesting?" Hunter asked. I gave Hunter a mischievous smile. " I think you should try this dress on" I said with a smile.
Hunter looked up at me from his chair and smiled. Why should I do that, Grace?" Hunter asked. "Because if thou don't I will shave ask of you beautiful locks off" I replied smugly." Fine, but I'm only doing this once" Hunter said, grabbing the dress and heading off to the dressing rooms. I sat down at the chair Hunter was sitting and closed my eyes.
The plane was approaching the ground quicker and quicker. The moment the plane connects to the ground, the impact is painful. The plane topples over, so the bottom of the plane is up to sky. Parts of the plane are flying off. The screaming and the yells have now ceased. Th plane has skidded to a complete stop. The amount of fire and smoke erupting from the plane around me causes me to cough until I black out and fall. Fall as though there is no stopping.
" I can't believe I'm doing this" I hear Hunter say. " how do you even walk in this thing?" Hunter said with an exaggerated sigh. Hunter opened the door and steped out. Oh my freaking God. I collapse onto the floor and laugh my head off. Hunter curtsy's and twirls in the spot. "Am I pretty, Grace?" Hunter said in a girly voice. Miss Claire comes out from the back door after half hour with a light blue and turquoise dress. " Oh Hunter, of coarse you're wearing a dress" Miss Claire says with a sigh. " Oh, is that my dress" I say with joy. Miss Claire gives me the dress for me to try on. I walk over to the dressing room to put the dress on. The dress slips on like a glove and is so comfy. The fabric was made from nothing I've seen before.It was like silk, but softer and shinier. I open the door to see Hunter slipping his leg out of the dress. I walk out in front of Hunter and Miss Claire, showing the dress off. Hunter looked and nearly feel over when he saw me. " Oh, honey you look gorgeous" Miss Claire said. I smiled " Thank you, Miss Claire it's beautiful". "Hunter, what do you think?" miss Claire asked. Hunter snapped out of his dazed look. "Uh, she looks alright, yeah, i guess" Hunter said, clearing his throat.
"um, well we'll take that to go, miss Claire" Hunter said, pointing to my dress. Once Hunter had so graciously bought my new dress, we headed off outside. I yawned once we started walking towards the way we came before."You tired?" Hunter asked. "Yeah" I yawned again. " Well let's get you to bed" Hunter said leading me off through the town of Everwinter.
