He lead us out of the main part of the village and we saw the old dilapidated houses. At the edge of it we saw an epic Castle. It was a little crumbled and broken but it still held the feeling of majestic-ness. It was really cool with all the Vines growing all over.

Darryl: what's in the Castle?

George: just Castle stuff.

Darryl: like what?

George: I've never been in a castle. Do I don't know.

Zak: then let's find out!

He ran towards the front of the building.

George grabbed his arm quickly bringing Zak to a stop.

George: are you crazy!! No one goes in there. I've heard that everyone who goes in there dies! You can't take that chance!

Zak: oh. Dang it.

"Let's just keep going." I said.

We continued and soon got to a house that didn't look as beat up.

George: that's my house. I don't trust you to go anywhere else do you're going to be right by my house.

Darryl: can we see your house?!

George: uh sure.

We all walked into the house. Inside there was a good smell. It was like warm bread.

Inside was a young girl cooking.

"George who are our new guests?" She says in a high and soft tone.

Darryl: I'm Darryl!

Zak: geez you're insane. Uhh I'm Zak.

"Vincent. And you?

"Hanna."

Darryl: is this your wife?

George: what? Uhh no. We met a while back and since she had nowhere to go, I let her stay here. Women can't go anywhere in this kingdom.

(I'm not mean, that's actually how it was for a long time.)

She curtsied.

Hanna: ... George? Why are they, uh, dressed like that? They're not..?

She didn't have to finish for George to understand.

George: well, yeah. But, hear me out, they promised not to hurt us.

Hanna: so?! That doesn't mean they won't! This is suicidal!

Darryl: Madam, we have no intentions of hurting anyone. You don't need to fear. We're good people.

Once again, Darryl's words became calming and rhythmic.

She stopped freaking out.

Hanna: j-just for the record, I don't trust you.

"That's okay." I responded.

Hanna:George why are they here. What to they need.

Darryl: we just wanted to see your nice house!

Zak: that's actually the reason. Even if it sounds stupid.

Hanna: week why didn't you say so? I've got cake.

She ran away to get a cake. It looked more like bread, but maybe that's because there isn't any frosting.

We all took a piece. And yep. It was bread.

Zak: it's bread.

Darryl: it's good! But that's not cake.

"I needed food."

Darryl opened his book and searched around for a bit.

Darryl: according to this the word cake, used to mean bread as well as the original word. So cake wasn't as sugary and fatty as it is now.

Zak: oh ok.

"Yeah that makes sense."

Hanna: do you not know basic wording?

Zak: I guess not. We all can't remember anything of our lives. I don't know if there are our real names.

George: okay?

"That's not how memory loss works."

Darryl: hmm?

"Amnesia makes you forget things, but basic wording, and stuff like reading, writing, or playing an instrument is something you will remember. Because it uses repetition."

I don't know where I know that.

Darryl: that's just weird then.

Hanna: ... Right. Well if that's all you wanted then you are free to leave.

Zak: ok then.

We thanked them and left.

Zak: what now?

Darryl: let's go to that place!!

He pointed to a house that wasn't at torn down.

We went in.  Zak started a fire in the fire place. And we talked for a while before falling asleep.
