A Better Life
Chapter 3 Accepting The Truth
I looked into the mirror closely, clutching my heart...I was...was...well I was gorgeous! I had always had natural curly hair, but now...it was longer! It also had more ringlets and a lot more curl than usual. It was done up neatly in a yellow headband with ribbons in twining into my curls. I had never seen hair done like this before and I loved it! My attention soon came off my hair.
I then saw to my most surprise and glee I had more curves then before. My waist was pretty much the same, nice and small, but my hips were smaller and curvier. I liked it a lot. Also my face! I had sort of a golden hue about me and my freckles across my nose showed even more. Most intriguing were my eyes though. They had always been blue gray, but now they were just silver gray and they totally captivated me.
Then I remembered Tori and turned around. She was lying on the bed rolling around and laughing. It looked like she was about to have a hear attack.
"You (giggle) should (snort) have seen (giggle) your face (giggle) you looked like a fish out of...out of water," she gasped, bursting out in laughter once more.
I stood there watching her. It was actually quite amusing to witness. Finally she wiped the tears that had been forming in her eyes and sat up on the bed. I was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.
"You two get out here right now, or no breakfast for you and no second breakfast now that I think of it. Hurry up, we have things to explain," the woman shouted.
Explain? Well that I still needed to hear. We now knew we were hobbits, but how did we get here anyway? I looked around the room and spotted a closet at the end of my bed. I went over and opened it. I was speechless. The clothes in there were amazing. Or should I say the dresses were amazing because that's what it was full of.
I did spot a few pairs of pants, but not much else. I looked around it and finally pulled out a dress. It had a blouse that cut across the shoulders and a dark brown corset with straps to go around it. Then it had a blood red skirt that came down to the knees. It was truly wonderful. I had always wanted to wear a corset. So I quickly put it on, but had horrible difficulties with the corset. Tori had already picked her outfit, which was a blouse that was low cut, a corset (which she had no trouble with grrrr) and a pair of navy blue pants, so she came over to help me.
When we were finally dressed we slowly opened the round door and crept out. This was defiantly the most interesting house I had ever been in. We made our way to the next room, which to our luck turned out to be the kitchen. The woman motioned us to sit down at a table where two male hobbits and one female hobbit were sitting. We pulled out chairs and sat down hoping to get an explanation.
