chapter TWO.

I felt a warm feeling wash over me as I stepped through the threshold. The scent of peppermint and smoke filled my nostrils and I sniffed the air. The slam of the door made me jump a bit. Andy seemed to be in a bad mood. I stood near the door and watched him walk into another room.

My eyes wondered around the walls, and lingered a little at the photos that hung. I moved towards them to get a better looked. They showed smiles and happy times; Andy, and people I assumed that were his family. I found it strange because I saw him standing next to doctor Connor in one of them. 

"He's my brother," I turned around to face Andy. I nodded and looked down again. "Don't just stand there. Follow me." I followed him silently as he led me up the stairs. As we walked, I gently ran my hand along the rail, feeling the smooth wood. The stairs were long, and I got tired, so I slowed down a bit. He noticed and scowled at me. "What, have your legs stopped working now too?" I frowned and quickened my pace. I was at a discomfort with him constantly chastizing me like that.

"Here," he said, opening the door for me. "This is the bathroom. You can clean up in here." I looked around the room; it smelled like pinecones. I found myself picking up objects. There was a red tube (a/n: do not use your pervy minds, okay?) lying on the sink. There wasn't a cap on it, and I squeezed it a little. As I squeezed, a white substance leaked out (a/n: again, don't use your pervy minds, you little rascals).

"Hey hey! What are you doing? Give me that!" He snatched the tube out of my hands. "This," he held it up, "is toothpaste. You use it to clean your teeth." I nodded and turned away. I gasped as I saw my reflection in the wall. Is this what I really look like? 

 The first thing I noticed was my hair: it was a bright, sky blue color. It stood out against my white skin. My face was dirty. I leaned in closer to get a look at my eyes: they too, were blue. I noticed Andy in the mirror, his eyes fixated on my behind. I felt embarassed and turned around to face him. 

"Take a shower there," he pointed towards the curtain, which probably sectioned off the part where I was supposed to clean myself, "and put this on. It's supposed to fit." I saw him place the clothes on a basket in the corner of the room. I smiled and nodded. 

After he left the room and locked the door, i undressed myself and stepped behind the curtain. There were two nobs on the wall, and I turned one.

"Ah!" I yelled as very hot water started to fall down on me. Was this the right one? Or is it the other one? I turned it off and stood there, trying to sooth my skin. It stung badly and I couldn't move around that much. I reached for the other nob and slowly turned it. I flinched as ice cold water fell down on my burning skin. I got used to it's coldness, as it soothed my skin and eased the pain, and began to clean myself, and wash the dirt from my hair. 

I found myself playing with the water until there was a knock on the door. 

"You done in there?" I quickly turned off the water in answer to his question. "Hurry up and get dressed!" I frowned at the tone of voice he used. I picked up the clothes he gave me and put them on. The shirt was a size too big, and the trousers get falling off; I held it up with my hands.
