Chef Hatchets Lark of Grace

Finally Here

After about an hour I woke up with my little brother laying on my lap fast asleep. Sam was leaning on my other thigh and both of them were curled up. Marshal had earbuds in still so I took them out and turned his phone off,Sam's phone was on but the screen had the finished video displayed so I turned that off too. For the rest of the ride I just stared out the window at the passing scenery. Finally after about 4 looong cramped hours we pull up to Camp Wawanakwa. Dad and Uncle Chris get out and start on the luggage,Dad pops in to wake us up. "Hey kids we're..."
I start miming shushing actions and he stops, I gently shake them awake so they don't freak out.
"Dad if you wake them up too loudly they might accidentally hurt somebody." Dad just looks a bit confused but shrugs and goes around to the back. Sam and Marshal slowly wake up more and drag themselves out of the car. I jog around to the back and help with the luggage. Uncle Chris led the way to the cottage mansion. Marshal and Sam gawk at it,they shriek and giggle while running inside. Sam though,of course,falls down and scrapes up her knee quite a bit. Dad and I ran over to her,Dad picked her up while I ran inside to get wet paper towels and a large piece of gauze and medical tape.Dad comes in and sets her on the counter looking guilty. I grabbed her stuffed pig and thrust it into her armed as I started cleaning up her scrape.She skidded really bad.She cried and complained but I finally stopped most of the bleeding and finished cleaning it up. I held down the gauze and Dad tapped it down,it took up almost her whole knee.Sam finally calmed down and got over it so her and Marshal went to explore their new bedrooms.I stand behind with Dad to clean up the bloody towels and first aid kit.
"You did really well,you responded even faster than me!You're like a pro at this!"Dad complimented me in his shocked state.
"Thanks. When it happens a lot you don't get as shocked and you already know what to do cause it happened like a million times before."
"Geez Linette does it really happen that often?"
"Yeah,but you get used to it after a while."I shrugged it off,it's not that big a deal it happens a lot.Dad looked a tad bit concerned though.
"Hey Linette let me show you something" Dad led me up a flight of stairs and to the right.Before me was a huge room designed like a fairies haven. There were white fairy lights strewn all about the ceiling connecting to the top of the huge 3D tree in the center of the room . I could see a dark wooden vanity on one side and a comfy circular queen bed right next to it. The tree had many sheer silver and solid emerald green curtains flowing down from it's branches to outline the headboard of the bed. In short it looked like a hideaway for a fairy princess,and it was absolutely perfect for me!
"This is your room, you are free to use it when ever you like.Your closet and bathroom are the doors on the right side of the room and the lights are voice activated,the tv will appear when and where you ask it to,and the walls can be changed to reflect any scenery you'd like."Dad said very gently and with a nervous chuckle at my dumfounded expression. "Do you like it?"
"Of course I do,it's like you looked into my mind and just magically made my dream room!!Thank you sooo much Papà!!"
"See I told you she'd like it! Just like her mother!"Uncle Chris shouted from the doorway with a triumphant look on his face. Then Sam and Marshal ran into my room and stood there with their mouths agape. Then they started fighting over who was going to climb my bed.
"Hold it right there you two, did you finish unpacking?"I stared them down and they both shook their heads at me. Dad took this as his cue to usher them out of the room and make sure they unpacked. I ran over to Uncle Chris and gave him a bone crushing hug. "Thanks Uncle Chris! You're the mastermind behind this aren't you?"
"I might have slipped a few pictures to him,and hinted at your interests."he stood there smirking and chuckled.
"Thank you so much for helping Papà."
"No prob kido,just doin my job and making sure you guys have good lives."He turned around and walked down the corridor. At about 6 O'clock we all headed down stairs for Pizza and Mozzarella sticks. Then we all went to bed. Tomorrow the campers would arrive and I would be even more busy. I think I'll have fun here.
