-Welcome to Engin village, how many visitors?-
Those words almost echo in everyone heads, and as a recording the voices repeat themself, -Welcome to Engin village, how many visitors?-, everyone look up to see the owners of the voice only to found a little girl, with her reddish hair in two ponytails that decorate her age, and some freckles that redecorate rosy cheeks under bluish eyes, by her side is who what look like her parent, with the same eyes but brown hair, both of them where looking to the front, is like they arent even looking at the five friends around the car.
-Ummm what was that sir?- Asked Lizzy with a friendly smile, but both of the weird characters still in the same position, not even their facial expressions change, and almost look like they dont blink, - Ey my sister made an ask smartass- Says Dean while stand up in front of the guy,- Woah Dean no need to be rude, im sorry sir- Ed tries to calm down his friend and do some distance between him and the problems, but again there were no answer from the parent and his daughter, -Is something wrong?- Ask Lizzy looking between her friends and the strange first inhabitants they found, Matt and Cleo only could look, -Maybe they are some kind of welcome machine- Says Ed while touching the coat of the male inhabitant, and again both of them repeat their words as a recording, -Welcome to Engin village, how many visitors?- the friends look at each other, maybe Ed was right afterall, -Sam never told us anything of this in his letters- Finally says Cleo while hidding behind Matt, -Maybe he forgot it, you dont need to freak out for that Cleo- Says Lizzy- Maybe they just made it recently or something-, but then the eyes of the inhabitants move to them, as if they try to look to everyone soul, -Welcome to Engin village, how many visitors?- this time with a more angry voice, scarying Cleo and decide to hide behind Matt as if that could protect her from any harm, but she isnt the only one, Lizzy and Dean look at each other, dont really knowing what is going on, only Ed found the voice to talk,- Ummm We are five, five visitors- Then as if a switch click inside them, the inhabitants move their faces, showing a kind smile and blinking, like the previous moments never happen.
-Is good to see new faces around here, im Lu and this is my father Leonard- Says the girl with a kind voice,- I can guess all of you are tired and hungry- She stop only to laugh at the atonished faces of the friends, -You can follow us to your temporary house- and without another word She walks without looking back, -Better we follow her then- Says Dean taking his backpacks and following the little girl.
The path wasnt that long, a street and a half they stop infront of a house that did not differ much from those around it, except that it looked newer, -Here you can leave your things and sleep, inside are the little rules of this place so we all can live fine and together, oh and the place where you can eat is not far from here- Explain the girl while opening the door for the newcomers,-But what if we need- Tries to start Ed but is interrupted by the little girl, -Oh you dont need to worry for anything, the instructions for everything you need are inside, just follow the rules...
And nobody needs to say farewell-
