Ellies POV

As I step out into a blinding white light, I hear a crunch beneath my feet. I look down puzzled and see......snow? Okay that's not quite right. I feel my socks begin to get wet and my first thought (though probably not the most helpful at this time) is 'these are NOT winter boots' wow Ellie way to get your priorities in order. 

As I continue to walk in a direction merely chosen by the flip of a mental coin I hear bells in the distance. After a few minutes a large sleigh pulls up beside me. A small, angry little man with a beard as long as my as my arm is driving the sleigh, I can not see who is riding in it, though he or she is probably quite rich. 

The man looks as though he is about to pounce on me, but before he does I hear a large commanding voice from the back of the sleigh.

"No! Nickabrick we will NOT have a repeat of last time"  the now clearly female voice booms from the sleigh. She holds her hand out to help me into the sleigh. " are you cold?" She asks, her voice now much kinder. "Well yes a little I suppose" I shrug 

"Do you like Turkish delight?" She asks 

"No not really" I reply

"But I'm sure you'll like this" she persists 

"No I don't think I will" I edge a little away from her 

"Yes you will" she says through a fake smile 

"Ummm no I don't thinks so" I leap off the sleigh and run as far away from her as I can.

Once I'm far enough from the sleigh so that I can't hear the bells  I realise I am lost. "This is not good" I say to myself. Then it hits me "KENZI" I yell I just remember I left her behind, she would have followed me that's just the kind of friend she is. So where is she? Okay okay okay I need to make a list of things I need to do. Here goes.
