An old friend
Chapter 3
The warm water felt healing, against her bare skin. She closed her eyes and felt the soft lather, which ran down her legs. She ran a hand through her hair; cotton candy came off in big balls and fell down to the floor. The first thing she did when she got to the sugar rush was that she had been stuck in a cotton candy tree, the whole she had been covered in pink sticky sugar. She enjoyed getting rid of with the sticky feeling.
She turned off the water and pulled away, the curtain. She took one of; towels and wrapped it tight around her wet body. She looked up and meeting her gaze in the gold colored mirror. The wet hair curled down her bare shoulders, the large dark blue eyes stares blankly back. She examined her face in the mirror and made an ugly grimace. She would never be able to see herself as beautiful. Before, she had been happy about their appearance, it was before her life had been destroyed.
-knock, knock
she turned and saw a hand, which was holding a pair of clothes.
-I thought you would need new clothes; she heard Candy say
she takes the clothes and surveyed it. A blue shirt with red buttons, a green checkered skirt and a pair of black and white striped tights. Great, I will look like I came from a circus. She put on the tights and looked in the mirror, well not so bad after all.
She followed the little Strange man through the many rooms, she previously way the day before. He opens a door and asks her to step into. He turns against me and sweeps his hand through the air
-breakfast is served!
She locks up; she could not believe her eyes!. A rural table stands in the middle of the room, but succumbed as much food she has ever seen. It was pancakes with lots of syrup, eggs and bacon, toast in all different shapes and sizes.
-Go ahead and sit
He shoots out a chair from the table and gives her (what he thinks is) a charming look.
She has to bite her lip to not laugh. she gives him a warm smile before she sits down.
After a few minutes of silence he says suddenly.
-So.. would you like to tell me little about yourself?
she almost put the bacon in the throat, the very question she does not want to be addressed. She takes a deep breath before answering.
-What do you want know?
Her voice gives way and she knows how her knees start to shake. She takes her hand on her left arm, and pinching it hard
-I want to know everything !
He looks seriously at her
She looks up and he gives me a weak smile, she would lie?, It would be the best, but she could not? NO he needs to know, but not yet, not now.
-Maybe later, she says, and looks down at the table.
Then he gets up suddenly, and jumping up on the table, he goes across all the food before he stops, he stretches out his hand.
-I want to show you something
she hesitate at first, but the she take his hand.
