hi guys!
sorry i haven't updated in at least a few weeks, but my life has been pretty hectic. i doubt i'll update for another week, at the least. The reason i won't is because next week is tech week for the musical my school is doing, which is *drumrolls* the Little Mermaid!! I'm really excited (and super relieved it's FINALLY over), and the shows at end time thurs, sat, and sun so i probably won't update until like monday or tuesday. i've also been having a bit of a writers block.
anyways, here's chapter six!
The next morning, I woke up feeling completely rejuvenated. I don't know why. I just did.
It was like every single weight that had ever been placed on my shoulders was just gone. I don't know how. I don't know why.
Maybe they were getting ready for much bigger ones, weights that would come from becoming a councillor.
Wow.
I still don't think it's completely registered in my brain what I'm doing. Becoming a councillor.
A frickin' councillor.
And I'm only 19! That's crazy!
But, if I think about what else has happened in my not-so-short life, this doesn't seem to be very big.
Except, it was. It's not everyday that you might become one of the official leaders of the elvin world.
All of a sudden, I realized, I'm not in my room.
I'm not in my room!
Oh my gosh what's happening?
Before I knew what was happening, I was running around my house.
Wait.
My... house?
My house?
I have a house?
Then I was outside, standing on the walkway from house to house in the Padme tree.
The home behind me was a small, cottage like ball. With a round red door, it reminded her of a hobbit hole and she couldn't help but giggle.
The windows were also round, but not in a cruise ship kind of way, but more like a birdhouse. The flowers growing in a box under the window were a mix of vivid teal and soft white blossoms.
Inside, when you entered you got a full view of the first story. A kitchen on the right complete with an island, living room to the left with a bunch of couches in a circle and a low coffee table. Each of the five couches was a different color, but they all complimented each other real well. They faced a huge glass wall overlooking Alluveture. N the center was a foyer and a door to a bathroom, and a spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
Up the staircase was an open hallway, and there were three doors, one on each wall. The one on the right led to an office not unlike Alden's, with a fish tank for a wall. Left was something like a den, with beanbag chairs and human board games, like Monopoly and Stratego.
The last remaining door had a thumbprint lock, and it was breathtaking. One wall was pure windows, like downstairs, except they had little metal ledges with dry erase markers and magnets, which shouldn't have stayed on, but did. The other walls were bookshelves upon bookshelves. The longest wall had only human books that looked well used. The other two walls were filled with history and customs of elves, along with all sorts of other species, There was even a book of every single animal in existence!
in the far córner was a spiral staircase, kind of like one in a fire station, which metal steps and railings. Above that was a loft with a bed with fluffy gold pillows with furry white covers. Two doors led to a ginormous walk-in closet and a bathroom. Half of the closet was filled with the formal clothes the Councillors always wore, but the other side was full of comfortable pajamas and plain clothes, like tunics and leggings.
In the bathroom was a huge bathtub that filled with almost any color, depending on which of the almost thousands of taps you used. A shower, a toilet, and a counter with a sink and all the toiletries anyone could ever need filled up the rest of the room.
The most touching thing in the entire house was a corner in the bedroom. Vertina sat in a corner, just by the paintings Keefe had given me, and there was a little table and a vanity by it, and on the table was a frame with a picture of my human family, my photo album from almost 8 years ago, and Iggy's cage. But a new photo album rested by the old one. The front cover just had one word, but it brought tears to my eyes. Friends.
It was such a small place, and yet, it meant so much.
The lavender carpet tickled my toes as I sat and looked through the albums.
On each page was a picture painted or drawn by someone whose name probably rhymes with leaf, and little notes or phrases my friends had written to me.
A knock rang out through the silent home, pulling me out of my nostalgic tranquility.
hmmmmm i wonder who that could be.
welp, i hope you enjoyed the chapter, and i'm sorry it's so short, but this is like the only free time i've had in forever.
also, can you believe it? 10 DAYS
*TEN*DAYS*
AHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHHHH
