CH. POV (Jane /Ching)
What the hell is going on? All I know is that Benjamin is going to be more than mad if he comes by tomorrow to snag me from that orphanage and I'm missing.
Everybody was chattering in the car, their high pitched voices loud and annoying. I'd gathered that the girl who'd kidnapped me was Bella, and according to the way Rosalie talked to her she must have been pretty stupid. Rosalie was very self centered, and Alice was just on crack. Edward seemed like the most bizarre one of all. Half of the time his voice made me want to melt, and the next he was wretching and screaming about some movie called Pineapple Express.
I remember Ben wanting me to watch it once. It was so the dumbest thing I'd ever watched.
"C'mon, grab the girl!" I heard Bella screech. I was whipped from the car, cursing and swearing as they dragged me into the house. When I was set inside a room, a man removed my blindfold. For a second I thought I'd been rescued.
"I'm sorry. My family is stupid."
I nodded in agreement, looking around the room. I almost gagged.
The theme was 'Llama Land', based off of a Japanese show about a llama that secretly hopes it works for the government and has secret powers. There was a rainbow in the background, and the llama had a giant flowing cape with a giant 'L' on it. Its tongue was hanging out, and I saw that whoever painted it had artfully sculpted a giant bit of drool running down its fur. There were animated flowers and suns singing and dancing in the background. Signs like Hirajuko! and Kakurozi! were painted on the wall in bright colors. They weren't even Japanese words.
More than that, though, was the stupid bed. It had a Llama Land bedspread, with lots of color. The llama wasn't drooling this time, at least, so I knew I wasn't going to have any nightmares. The one thing that might terrify my dreams was the giant. Freaking. Stuffed. Llama. On my bed.
It was grinning at me, one of its eyes falling out.
"Can you please redo my room?" I asked, trying my best to sound nice. Benjamin would have been proud.
Drat! I just realized that Benjamin could never come to my room. If he saw this he'd probably leave me, laughing on his way out.
The man winked at me. He slid a button into my hand, pressing on it gently. The room flipped, a simple blue and brown layout coming into focus. The walls spun, getting rid of the disastrous llama drool and revealing a simple blue wall. A bin popped out of the wall, new bed sheets inside that matched the rest of the room. He smiled, putting a finger to his lips. He stood, going to the drawer to get a piece of paper.
THE PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE ARE INSANE, it read, DO NOT SPEAK. ESME, MY WIFE, DESIGNED THE NEW LAYOUT. KEEP IT QUIET. YOU HAVE TO SWITCH IT AROUND BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP. BELLA GETS VERY CRANKY. ASK HER DAUGHTER. SORRY YOU'RE STUCK HERE WITH US.
I nodded, and he got up and left. She had a daughter?
What was I going to do? My phone was still in the drawer back at the orphanage. I gave up, pressing the button again. The creepy drooling llama was back, smiling at me. I slid under the blankets, glowering at it. I picked up the life-size stuffed llama, chucking it at the wall.
Darn thing.
I knelt down to pray. The llama was smiling at me,
"Dear God," I said bitterly, "If you could kill everybody in this household, especially Bella, I would really appreciate it. And get rid of the dumb room please, I'm really hating everything about my life. First you ditch my parents, and then you chuck me in here. There's definitely something I must have done, but I'm sorry! Make it up to me by getting me out of this place!"
I heard a booming laugh, and at first I thought it was God making fun of me. Then I realized that it was just another nameless person downstairs.
Whatever. I'm going to bed.
