Chapter 2 breaking the news
I walked down the shingle beach with the smooth stones rubbing against my bare feet. I felt more at home than anywhere else. I am going to tell spray that I have been fostered it's so exciting. Once I got to a small cave I tapped on the door but there was no need spray had already come to the door and had been waiting expectantly for my arrival.
I had only decided to come here three minutes ago. Spray is already waiting here for me it is like he knew that I was going to come down here before I actually did. I enter the chilly cave and think how lucky Spray is to have warm blubber.
I say "I have great news, I am being fostered!"
"But what about me" Spray replies.
"You will just have to get over your fear of the sea and swim to where I am moving to. Come on let's get going" I say.
"Ok then" Spray was grumbling.
When Spray entered the sea it was like he had never left, he swam in joyful circles. "meet me there" I shout and he is off like he was never here.
The next day I am sitting in a black car with soft comfy seats with my bags all packed. I put the seatbelt on which feels soft in my hand and makes a satisfying click when it locks into place. I was up all night being so excited and I'm very tired so I lean against the window and fall asleep. I am jolted awake by the car going over what must be a massive pot hole. I look out of the window and the countryside is stunning. There are luscious green meadows and neat collections of farmland with the glittering blue sea stretching out beyond the land for ever and ever.
Coming up close now there is the little village of Hescombe which we drive through to a large wooden house with solar panels on the roof and a beautifully carved blue door. I get out and stare in wonder at the massive house. I go through sliding doors into a very modern hi-tech house. Kinga shows me to my room which looks comfortable and a nice size. The room is much bigger than the room I had at the orphanage. I leave my suitcase in the room and go down stairs where Kinga shows me some sliding doors which lead to a private beach it is beautiful.
Kinga is making lunch and I wonder over the beach to see if I can find Spray I see an alcove in a cliff near the other end of the beach and head for it. I do find Spray he says "I like this place I think I might move here. There is no rubbish. Unlike the other place. I scanned the area and it is beautiful, but there is a company called Axoil who are ruining some places." "Thanks for the knowledge I'll see you tomorrow." I can here Kinga calling me for lunch.
