The Grey Town

The House of color

GRACE POV

The house inside was drab and dreere. I wasent surprised. He led me into the house and to one of the rooms he opened the door. I was shocked. It looked nice and colorful unlike everything else in this town.
He spoke to me "This is the only place in the hole town that is still happy. You see as the people get sadder and loose hope the town loses color. I found this house one day and when I walked in and saw the room I was ecstatic to see that some people still have hope."
As he was talking I realized he couldn't be much older than me. And if that is true, then how does he know so much about the curse. "Wait! I have to ask, how old are you? And what is your name?" He looked at me and smiled.

"Oh! I guess I forgot to introduce my self. My name is Tony. And I am 18 years old."

I asked In a questionative voice, "If you are 18 and this happened 20 years ago how do you know so much? About the curse I mean."

He looked at me and smiled but than slowly got sad. "My mom told me all about the curse and the prophecy when I was 2. Just before she died."

"Ow, I am so sorry."
"It's fine. I feel so stupid. I didn't catch your name. And since you asked me, how old are you."
"I am Grace. And I am 17."
He had a shocked face. "Whats the matter?"
He shacked his head and smiled." Nothing! It's just that." He started to blush.
"It's just that what?"
"They profisy never said how old you would be. And that you would be this beautiful." I started blushing. All of a sudden we heared a knock at the frount door. He gets scared and shove me into a closet.
"Wait here and don't make a sound."
He leaves the room and shuts the door.
