Ember's POV
"Do you like it?" I asked showing Thayne the bed area I had prepared, I was excited and really hoped he liked it. Luckily he nodded.
"Its... Wow, it's amazing! Thank you!" He said, turning to me. I was overjoyed and smiled at him.
"Glad you like it!" I said, suddenly feigning seriousness. "Um, so, I have a question" I said, sitting cross legged on the floor and he sat on the bed.
"Okay, what's your question?"
I smiled again and asked "So, are you gonna eat with us, or are you still gonna eat slop?"
"Oh, haha, very funny," he said sarcastically, before answering "I will eat with you guys"
Yay! I still couldn't believe he had only ever eaten something called slop. I realized Thayne's master had been, well, okay to Thayne obviously, if he was sad about his death, but I hadn't gotten to know him so, I still didn't know what to think about him.
My mom called me before I could respond and I jumped up. "Come on Thayne! Let's go" I called and he stood also.
We ran upstairs and mom greeted us.
"Ah, you must be Thayne. I heard about what happened, I'm really sorry. If there's anything more we can do to help let us know, okay?" She said, offering Thayne a small smile.
"Thank you ma'am, but I will move out as soon as possible, I don't want to intrude," he said, I was about to protest, but I noticed a little girl watching us from the window. She didn't look like she was from this time period, with her white dress that honestly looked like a Roman dress from way back in time.
I saw a small glow around her neck which grasped my attention and decided I had to find out about this girl watching us. I slipped outside.
"Hello?" I said once I shut the back door.
"Hello!" She called merrily with a wave.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Martha. I'm, not from this time period."
"How is that possible? Where are you from then?"
"I'm from Pompeii, before it, uh, yeah..."
"I don't know about Pompeii, I really don't remember a lot of history. I'm sure I learned about it, but it was kinda, in one ear and out the other."
"Ah, okay. Question: do you want to go on an adventure?" She asked, and right then Thayne came outside.
"What are you guys-"
"Hey Thayne!" I called, interrupting him.
"Hello." Martha said, waving at him.
"Hi, what are you girls doing?"
"Well, Martha offered to take me on a adventure..." I said, suddenly thinking of I would even want to go. What if Thayne can't come? I wanted adventure, but I also wanted to stay with Thayne.
As if sensing my thoughts Martha assured me. "Your friend can come too."
"What? No, it could be dangerous Ember! Neither of us are going."
"But Thayne!"
"It's not dangerous, it'll be fun. It's honestly just going through time, I do it all the time."
"It's not dangerous at all?" He questioned, and she nodded, I thought perhaps a bit hesitantly, but shrugged it off.
"Mmn, fine. But Ember better not get hurt!"
