Chapter 4: Other side of the well

Kei watched as her mother's leg disappeared from the side of the well, and looked at the vines covering the sides of the well. She started to make her way towards them when her mother's head appeared.
"Don'tchya wanna find out about your father?" She asked, looking and sounding like a small girl going to a fair.
Kei had lost all faith in her mother's sanity hours ago, so she just shrugged and put on a wide grin.
Hey, if you can't beat them, join them she thought before grabbing a hold of one of the sturdier looking vines and then started to pull herself upwards.
She got to the edge of the well and peered over, still a bit nervous as to what might be on the other side and gasped in amazement.
Before her was one of the loveliest, greenest forest she had ever laid eyes upon. Kei took a deep breath of the fresh air and immediately fell in love with the place, wherever that place might be.
She spotted her mother leaning against a huge tree and saw her motion for her to come closer.
The grass was like a sponge and so soft she noted before hurrying to her mother's side. She took a seat next to her and looked at her expectantly.
Her mother's face had lost most of its excitement and instead was replaced with a sad sort of longing.
"This is where I met your father..." She whispered, a small smile coming to her lips.
"It was on the day I turned 15... Just like you."
Kei's eyes widened in amazement.
"You mean my father was from this place?" She asked her brown eyes which she had gotten from her mother filling with curiosity.
"Yes. I guess you deserve more of an explanation... but it can wait. Let's go see the others!" She said, excitement coming back to her eyes.
"The others?" she asked in vain, for her mother was already disappearing onto a path through the forest.
She hurried to catch up to her mother who was standing in a small clearing filled with huts. Children who were playing stopped to stare at the newcomers.
"I'm home..." Her mother whispered quietly.
