This one is my longest chapter in this story (which isn't very long). But that's only because I wanted to be more descriptive and stuff. Blah, blah, blah. Whatever. You don't want to here me talk anyways so go ahead and read on!

Chapter 3

Luria woke up to bright sunshine. Where am I? She thought. She walked around and discovered a giant chateau. It looked as if it had been abandoned for a while but nevertheless it still looked brand new. She walked up to the chateau and knocked on the door. No one answered. She knocked again and waited this time. Still no one answered. She twisted the doorknob and found that it was unlocked.

"Hello!" she shouted with her hands cupped over her mouth. "Anyone home?" Her voice echoed around the whole house due to the spacious entryway and tall ceiling.

No answer. The chateau was big. There was a long hall way on either side of her and lots of rooms. To the back of the room, a doorway led outside and a spiral staircase was next to it. She observed all the rooms and saw they were all fit for living. The weird thing was was that not a speck of dust covered the entire chateau.

Now that Luria looked closely, she could see a sign that said Baronial Garden. She opened the door to the garden and was astonished at what she saw. It was beautiful. She had never seen anything like it before. The grass was so green it looked fake. There were butterflies all over the place and big buzzing bumblebees. Flowers of every color were growing everywhere! Pink, yellow, orange, blue, you name it! Furthermore, there were trees surrounding a shady pool. Deer pounced here and there. And everywhere, vegetables and fruit grew. This could hardly be called a garden! It was more like a forest! How lucky I am to be brought to a place as wondrous as this. She thought. But how did I even get here in the first place? This will require some more investigation tomorrow but for now, I need some rest. It was well past midday by now and she was exhausted. She climbed up the stairs and naturally, went into the biggest bedroom. The covers to the bed were a dark red, almost like blood, and gold. It was quite beautiful as the sun streamed through the open window and the bed shimmered as if covered with glitter. Besides the four-poster bed, there was also a wardrobe in the corner made of a dark wood and a desk with a load of paper in one corner and a quill and ink jug. It was made of the same type of wood. In front of a bed, there was a 6-inch plasma screen TV and a fancy, Victorian style mirror above the bed. Luria plopped face down on the bed, turned sideways and shut her eyes with a smile on her face. Yep. This isn't home but it will definitely do…

You know what? This isn't actually as long as I thought it was. I only thought it was long because when I typed it in word document, it was one page long and all the other ones were only about half a page long. So, whatever.

By the way, baronial is just a fancy word for royal in case you didn't know. Just thought it might be useful if I told you. If you don't believe me, go to , press the Thesaurus tab, and search royal. You'll see.
