Chapter 2
Keira took one last glance before she proceeded down the hall to a large ballroom. The ballroom had a hardwood floor, which was dusty and worn with age. On the right wall were three gigantic windows. The ceiling had a most marvelous picture of all the people dancing in their fancy dresses and formal uniforms. Keira walked around the room and saw the very fancy carvings on the walls. Words of wisdom and caring they were hopeful in their wistfulness.
Then Keira heard her mother calling her for dinner, so she headed off to find the kitchen. While she was walking down a long corridor filled with pictures of what seemed to be family members, she noticed a key on the ground and decided to pick it up. She stuffed it in her pocket as she continued to walk to the kitchen. The kitchen had lots of cupboards, one of those antique metal stoves and a basin for washing dishes. On the stove was a couple of old pots and pans and mom's electric teakettle. Keira's mom had made sure that the castle had electricity installed, so that she could bring her teakettle and microwave on which most of the family's meals were prepared. Keira sat down at a table in a corner of the kitchen with her family.
A short while later Keira went upstairs and looked for the room that her father said was to be her bedroom for the summer. She found the room her father had described without too much trouble.
Keira soon discovered that she was quite tired. It was still early but she couldn't resist lying down on the beautiful canopy bed with the creamy white bedding and soft fluffy pillows. She had almost drifted off to sleep when a sound, that sounded like crying startled her awake.
