I opened my eyes to stare up at a grey stone ceiling, what had happened to my green canopy? Slowly I sit up, I am laying in a bed covered in red silk blankets. I can't remember ever feeling anything so smooth before.
I look to my left and there is a lady sitting in a grand oak chair beside my bed. I had never seen anyone like her before. Her skin in pale, and her long black wavy hair envelopes her body. She wears a black gown with a grey bodice, her eyes are like the the crips green forest.
Behind her stands Uncle Havy, his face is solmen and his eyes look red and puffy. Has he been crying? Before we had gone on this trip on the island he had been crying a lot. Though he had never told me what about his tears would always make me feel uncomfortable.
"Hello Andraia, I'm glad to see you awake. My name is Nadeara and I...am a close friend of your dear Uncle Havy. This is my castle, it's very large, many people stay here and you and Uncle Havy may stay here as long as you like. Would you like me to show you around a little? Or are you a little tired or hungry?" the lady asked, her voice was as smooth as the wind and sent a shive down my spine. I looked up at Uncle Hacy for permission and he nodded.
"I've never been in a castle before..." I said shyly while getting out of the bed,, the lady smiled she seemed so happy.
"Well then, this is going to be a lot of fun," she said standing up from her chair offering her hand to me. I looked at it for a moment, her skin was so pale, would her hand be cold? Gently I took it, she did feel cold, I felt as if I needed to warm up her hand by holding it. Together we left the room with Uncle Havy walking behind us.
