Ashlynn woke up inside of an unfamiliar building, or rather a cozy living room.
"Hello? Where am I?" Ashlynn curiously asked.
No answer, Ashlynn stood up. Her legs shaked, her body still felt weak from inhaling so much smoke in the house.
"Hello?" Ashlynn shouted this time, wondering if she was dead.
"Ah, so you have awoken." A man's voice echoed throughout the room.
Ashlynn turned around only to face a boy about theage 16with shaggy brown hair. His blue eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"Elie Andrew Matthews," The boy introduced himself, "But you can just call me Elie."
"Ashlynn Marie Balfour. Or just Ashlynn." Ashlynn replied back politely.
"Nice to meet you, you'd you like something to drink? Eat? I have a few sugar cookies in the kitchen." Elie offered.
"Sure." Ashlynn nodded as she gazed around the living room.
A yellow couch, the one Ashlynn had woken up on, sat across from a fireplace. Pictures and artwork hung on the walls, adding some brightness to the room. Elie soon returned with a plate of sugar cookies and two glasses of lemonade.
"Here we go." Elie sat down on the yellow couch, "join me if you wish."
Ashlynn nodded and sat next to Elie on the couch.
"How are you felling?" You were pretty out of it when I found you." Elie asked with a bit of pity in his voice.
"Good, but may I ask, what do you mean, found me?" Ashlynn answered, but pondered on what Elie meant.
"The town, where the fire started. I was leaving, like everyone else was. But I passed this house seeing this girl jump back in, throw some things out. She never came back out. Being the caring person I am, I became worried, I jumped in, and there I saw her-you- lying on the floor unconscious." lie explained, "I even grabbed the few things you threw out, they are in the chair over there."
