Chapter Three: Yes?
Sorry to leave you hanging, character of my imagination, but my candle burned out and I had to sleep some time. Unfortunately it didn't work very well, so I waited for the sun to rise. So where did I leave off? Ah, that's where. Okay, on with what happened.
So after George stopped babbling, he stood up and walked to the other side of the room,dodging the falling vines. He kept looking at me and then down at the ground, chewing on his thumbnail, and back at me. But it seemed to take a long time for him to finally come back over to me (he stood in front of me while I was sitting down! Did I tell you I hated that? I think I did) and said, "That just happened, not even a week ago. I didn't tell anyone, and she- she wouldn't, I don't think." He started to stair into space, pondering this question, I think.
The only thing I could think to say was, "So, do you believe me?" I asked it very innocently. I was trying to convince him I wasn't a threat, not make him think I was a pushy little brat that needed to be thrown out with the trash. He arrived back from his moon trip and looked at me, thoughtfully. I don't think this would have bothered me so much, because I am pretty good at staring into people's eyes, but his stair-
I had to look away.
Elenni walked in again. When he heard her walk in he- he smiled! (He smiled with that devilishly cunning smile he was written with.) How could he smile! I just reviled to him I was a freak from a different dimension or something. Would you smile? No, you'd probably try to submit me to an insane asylum, or give me to scientist, or at the very least get me out of your house.
Oh no, no no no no no. He did quite the opposite. (Still don't quite know what's going on.)
Anyway what he did was say to his mother, "Mother, I believe her." Now, you can probably guess that my jaw dropped. In fact both Elenni's and mine did. But he didn't seem to notice. He continued, "In fact, I think she should stay with us. Look at her; she looks like a strong girl. She's got muscle and she's not lazy, I'm sure. She could work for you, or we could find her something useful for her do. What do you say? If she is lazy, I'll give her some money, and send her out on her own."
"Well," Elenni looked like she was going to say "no" but, to my surprise, "Well I said I would believe you, and you believe her so..." she looked at me, "Welcome to my house, Gweniver Collins."
"Umm...thank you." I was still shocked. Still am.
There was a knock on the door and George seemed to remember something. "Well, mother I would have liked to stay and talked with youfor a few moments, but duty calls." He kissed her on the cheek, then turned to me, " Gweniver, Since it is your first day here, would you mind, if later this evening, when I get back, that I show you around town a little?"
Still dumbfounded, I just nodded.With that, he opened the door and walked out. I could hear him and another person mount their horses. Then I heard them ride away. That was it.
