Chapter Two.
Confusion.
I thanked the taxi and jumped out.
'This is awesome' I thought as I took in a big breath of fresh air. Freedom! I wandered into the farm.
Oh. My. GOSH.
This place is was a mess!
A big brown patch in the middle of the farm was covered in stones, weeds, and branches. All the animal shelters were dusty and covered in cobwebs. And, the house I guess I was supposed to live in was TINY. Was this a joke? I looked around for the cameras, not seeing anybody. I was going to walk out and ask for directions, when a short, plump little man wearing a huge red top hat marched in, looking angry.
"Hey! You there! Don't you know this is private property??!!" He yelled, fuming.
"Hey, sorry little man. I just heard an add on the radio, and here I am!" I said brightly, plastering a fake smile on my face.
The man marched right up to me. "Wait, you're the new farmer? Claire?" He asked, a little taken back. Hey, just cause I'm a blond doesn't mean I can't run a farm!
I nodded. "And who may you be?"
"Me? Oh, I'm just the mayor. And you MUST be a fool!"
Huh? "Say what??"
"You fell for that corny add! No-one has lived on this farm for years! YOU'VE BEEN TRICKED!" He laughed loudly.
I growled. Tricked??? No! This horrid man! I whipped out a hammer I didn't even know I had, and thwacked it against his fat head.
"Stop! Please stop hammering me!" He cried, cowering.
I was deciding whether I should get out my Axe when I stopped. After all, it wasn't his fault, I guess.
"Thanks." He said, gratefully. "So, you quit your job and moved out? Huh, that's too bad. Hey! Why don't you try running this farm?" He said, brightly.
Hmm... Oh heck. "Sure!"
In the next chapter the real story begins! :D
