Chapter Fricken' Two

The slight girl took my hand and pulled me through the doorway.

"Don't mind any of them; they're a bunch of softies once you get to know them." She giggled. I wasn't so sure. One of them had a mean, hungry look, and another had arms as big as tree trunks. None of them said anything, so I didn't either.

Alice led me through a very clean and modern house, up some stairs and down the hall to a bedroom.

"This used to be Edward's room, but he's in the Forest Cottage with Bella, so you can stay here."

"Thanks. I- I mean, thank you, Alice." I stuttered.

She grinned. "You're totally welcome. Are you hungry?" I shook my head.

"I don't eat. Do you?" I asked curiously.

"No, we don't. I thought you might only because Nessie does. Oh well. If you need anything, just give a shout."

"Thanks again, Alice." I tried to smile, but it felt like a grimace. She smiled anyway, and skipped out of the room.

Edward (whoever that is)'s room was smaller than my room on Olympus, but that doesn't mean it was tiny. Almost any bedroom in the universe would be smaller than my old one.

One wall of the room was just a huge window, and the other wall had a large CD/cassette player thing in the middle and tons of shelves on either side and above, but no CDs. Alice said something about him being in a forest cottage, so I guess he took his CDs with him. He must've taken the stuff off the shelves next to the door and the books off the bookcase too. At least now there's room for my stuff. There was a low white couch on a gray rug next to the window-wall and double doors with glass panes to the outside. I peeked out, and it was a dizzying drop straight to the ground.

"What the heck?" I muttered. I slammed the doors shut, locked them, and dragged the couch in front.

I threw my suitcase onto the couch, sat on the floor, and started to cry.

Sorry it's such a short chapter, but I thought this was a good stopping point.
