Paulo gapes at my arm then sprints out of the room. I try to come to terms with the two tattoos.
I am not shure but I think this means that I am either Paulo's sister or his cousin.
The thing that puzzles me most is that if I am related to them then why, are they so much smaller than me?
Maybe I am some mutant person or a 'runt' of the 'litter'. Did they cast me away when I was born because I was so different? Just like the ugly duckling. Or was I stolen because I was special?
The trolls said that they had caught 'two of them'. Does that mean that I'm related to the other guy too?
I don't even have any relatives. That's what the spinster said.
I'm so confused.
I decide to sleep on it.
I lie down on the comfy bed, then remember the pyjamas and get up to put them on. They feel soft and warm against my skin. I crawl into the covers and close my eyes. I smell a pleasant fragrance. It smells strongest at my pillow. I lift up the corner and pull out a little bag underneath. It was filled with lavender. I love lavender. I close my eyes, suddenly calmed. I push the tattoos to the back of my mind and let myself be drawn into a pleasant slumber.

This is a bit late, but what do you think of Paulo and his family? Is Thalia right about the meaning of their matching tattoos?
Comment and vote, tell me what you think of my writing!
