Peyton's towns.

Carmella

I got a sudden rush at her response, could she be the person to have my questions answered? Would she be able to tell me about my family?if i had siblings? Just how much did she know about me?Immediately i stammered "What ? what do you low, i mean know, my mum?" They all seemed to jump at my voice suddenly speaking louder, i was just so excited, i couldn't get my words out right, i repeated it slower and calmer " What do you about them?"
"Well,abigail was the first person i met here, she was the same age as me when i met her, around 12 i'd say, she always wanted to explore."I saw a tear run down her cheek but she continued "When we were 18, she became best friends with Lewis, they were so alike, one day all three of us were going to explore the land, we'd packed and planned everything, but my alarm went off, i got up and all i saw were two figures holding hands,running away with bags and bags of ,luggage. I expected them back within a day.Then a day became a month, then a year, then i realized she was never coming back." She pulled a small triangular piece of cloth from her skirt pocket and wiped her eyes, which were tearing up.I wasn't sure what to say,everyone always told me great things or my mother, nothing about betrayal or trickery. I asked if she'd known my father well and she hadn't seem to have known him at all.There was a knock at the wooden door, and Holly answered it. A dark skinned man,not much taller than Holly stood there,dressed in a black suit, i wasn't sure if he was overweight or just wearing a large piece of clothing,with a somewhat ridiculous hat stood there and interrupted "I'm so sorry to disrupt you and your visitor, Carmella, but i couldn't help overhear you talking about the Ash-worth's,"
"Yes," I interrupted "do you know anything about them? I'm Peyton ash-worth, the child of lewis and abigail " soon after i realized the ladies were holding their hands together so this guy must be important, i added "sir". 
"Excuse us, Peyton has just arrived, dear thing" said Eleanor
"Ho ho ha ho" the man chuckled in his odd, seemingly fake way " dear Peyton, i am  
Kai, i am the closest relative to Tilly"
"So, why do you visit sir?" Asked Holly in her fast,quiet,squeaky voice.
"Well, i was a great friend of Lewis"
"Really,sir?"
" You dare question me? Are you accusing me of being a liar? Said kai, i was shocked how his voice lowered so fast, and how he got so angry from such a small remark.
"No,sir,i'm just astonished,sir,that so many people recognize me sir"
He looked disgusted, he was so horrible "We don't recognize you, we recognize your name"I was beginning to hate this rude man, but i needed the support, so i simply asked him to tell me about my father, and with some smart comments, he done so.
"Your father was selfish" the man openly said.I wanted him to tell me the truth but it was just so unexpected, i thought i had the genes of great people, not selfish betrayers. He continued "yes,once,we were on the beach and i had a packet of crisps," he paused and walked across the room,wiping his dry eyes with a handkerchief as if he was crying "guess what he did" i was surprised he asked me, but just as i was about to answer, he said "he ate them."
"The whole bag?"
"Of course not, i would have killed him if he'd done that"
"How many did he take then?"
"One and a half"
"Did he ask?"
"Yes,he asked for one not two"
"One and a half actually" i corrected
"It was still a horrible act!"
"That's ridiculous"
"I know! It's unbelievable, i could have given that half to another friend,i had tons,in fact,i was generous enough letting him have one"
"No,i mean it's ridiculous that you think it is selfish to accidentally take an extra half crisp out of a bag!"
"Good day! I try giving you information you'll need in the future and see what i get? I hate the new ones!" He shouted whilst storming out the room."Sorry about him,that selfish little brat is just a fool, done nothing since he got here except claim to know Tilly, arrogant liar"said Carmella
"I know"I replied "I never knew someone so short could have such a big attitude"
They all giggled at my little joke, i felt important,like i could say whatever and they would agree."So,ladies,do you know if i've an injuries?"
"This high tech chair you are sitting on can tell us, here" she handed me a small clip with a tag labelled to it - it read fracture to back , broken toe.Eleanor saw me wondering what to do and said "we all have them,clip it to your ear and when your maid comes in to wash you,she'll know to be careful with your toe, she'll bandage it up and put some support on that back of yours" I was very confused.Why my ear? Why don't i just stick it on my shirt or door or something.Why ear? As if reading my mind Holly said something very fast, i wasn't quite sure what it was, but about five minutes later,when the ladies beside me were chatting about what color lights their electric dresses should shine out, i think she said "the nurse will scan you and cure you".These ladies seemed nice at first,but now they seem slightly like zombies,i used to read about them in horror books."Peyton,would you like me to show you to your room?"
"Okay,but isn't it a lot of work walking up a ginormous ladder all the time?"
"Don't be silly! We have lifts"
"Lifs?"
"L,i,f,t,s, they're boxes that carry people in, they bring you to the floor you want to go to"
"That's marvelous!" I said excitedly.To be able to ride up and down in a strange convention would be far better than walking up stairs!
"I'm glad you think so,you'll be using it a lot, now let me get you cleaned up"
