Chapter 1


"How could you go into such a place when I told you not to? Were you trying to kill yourself?"

"Well... She was in trouble, I thought you would understand."

"I do understand, but I told you to never go in there. Do you listen, No."

"I couldn't stand by and see an innocent person walk into that cave and die! I couldn't stand to see another person killed because of what you and I created."

"I know, I know. But you could of walked away."

"You know I couldn't. You know that I would stay, also I was having a nice conversation with her. Did you know that watermelons were delicious?"

"But... but... I don't know what to say to counter that. Also I did know that they were delicious."

"So does that mean I win?"

"No."

"Oh well. At least she is doing fine."

"We will bring her back once she is able to get on her feet."

"But that would be unfair to her!"

Where am I?

"But why would we risk the fact of being captured, or you falling in love."

"I am not in love with her!"

"Seems like it."

"Just heal her alright?"

"Fine."

Last thing I remember was that I was falling. After that everything went black. Now I'm in a room and two other people, that I know of.

"She's awake, she's awake!"

I open my eyes. The first thing I see is a small face staring down at me. I open my mouth to say something but the small face says "Hush, hush now. You mustn't talk. Your throat is still healing from all of the dust and dirt you breathed in." So I close my mouth and stare at the small face that is before me. It has light green eyes and a tiny nose, it also has small pink lips. "I am Jesella, by the way." I looked over to my left and saw a table. On the table was a pen and thing of paper. I snatched them up and wrote.

My name is Anonymous. Nice to meet you.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Anonymous." said the Jesella, laughing lightly, "I will go get you something to eat and something to drink. I shall be back love, ta ta!" Then Jesella shuffled towards the door. When she was gone I started to scribble on the peace of paper. What a strange lady. Soon the paper was all black. I tossed it back onto the table. I got up into a sitting position and tried to sing. It was the only thing I could think of. At first it sounded like a rock being scraped on a chalkboard. But after a little bit my voice started to go back to normal.

Hush little baby, don't you cry.

Mama's gonna to find you a diamond eye.

When that diamond eye rolls away, Mama's gonna to find you something else today.

Hush little baby, don't you cry.

Mama's gonna to find you an awesome pie.

When that awesome pie goes away, Mama's gonna to find you something else today.

Hush little baby, don't you cry.

Mama's gonna to find you a weird ass guy.

When that weird ass guy runs away, Mama's gonna to find you something else today.

Hush little baby, don't you cry.

Mama's gonna to get you the stars tonight.

When those stars fade away, Mama's gonna to find you something else today.

When I open my eye's again I see Jesella and some other people standing around my bed. One of them had her mouth open and another was crying. Suddenly they started clapping. "Bravo! Encore, oncor!" yelled the one that was crying.

Once they stopped Jesella placed the tray of food on the little table. "Now eat little one. You need it all for what's coming next." I grabbed the plate and placed it in my lap. There were mashed potatoes in a mushroom gravy, sweet bread, chicken and green beans.

"Thank you Jesella. I appreciate it very much."

"No problem love." I took a bite from the chicken, It seemed to melt in my mouth. I devoured the rest.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Amazing!"

"That's good."

"Can you stand?" A man stepped closer to the bed.

"I don't know yet."

"Well you must sooner or later. I can't have you here for much longer."

"Why is that?"

"Why is the guest asking questions?" the man walked out of the room.

"Well. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault hun. He gust doesn't like strangers."

"Oh. Well I am still sorry."

"It's all because of me." said a boy with brown hair and dark blue eyes, "If I didn't save you from those creatures you would not be in this situation."

"She wouldn't be here if you didn't." said a girl. She turned to Anonymous, "My name is Lily by the way." Lily turned back to the boy. "You should not be ashamed that Great-Grandfather is mad at you. You saved a life."

"But still. I could be in special classes with Great-Grandfather!"

"Dumb child!" yelled Jesella, "Do you not see that you have saved a girl with a beautiful voice? If you truly cared then you would see how lucky you are to have found a girl like her." Anonymous started to blush.

"Jesella, you're embarrassing her." The boy walked over to Anonymous and said, "Don't mind her. She usually does things like this."

"I thought I would be used to stuff like this by now. But I thought wrong."

"Hahaha! I can understand. Now Jesella." He turned to face the giggling lady, "I will not accept you doing things such as this for this poor girl."

"Alright, Zaso." He walked to the door.

"I will be checking in on her often. I would like you to know that Jesella." then Zaso left. "Well. He must like you." Jesella winked at Anonymous.

"Why would he like me? I'm just a stranger."

"But a beautiful one."

"Oh be quiet Jesella."

"No I will not! I will prove to him that he did not make a mistake. You are a fine girl indeed." Then Jesella rushed out of the room.

"She is determined to have Zaso married isn't she?" Anonymous just sat there quietly. "Well i'm going to go. Rest as much as you can."

"Thank you Lily. My name is Anonymous, if you wanted to know."

"That's a funny, but nice, name." Then Lily walked out of the room. Such strange people. But I like them. Mostly Jesella, she is quite funny and kind. Anonymous slid her legs out of the covers. Outside, of the window, she could see a garden full of plants that Anonymous did not recognize. "What a beautiful garden!" She whispered, "I wish that the older man, Great-Grandfather they all called him, was much kinder. But people have their reasons." She turned to the door and saw Zaso standing in front of it.

"Hi. Just checking in on you." he said, blushing a little.

"You were here just a few minutes ago. Why would be here again so soon?" Anonymous asked.

"Well... I finally got away from Jesella. Also I wanted to know more about you without the others around." Zaso shuffled his feet.

"Oh. Well sit in that chair over there."

"Gladly." Zaso dragged a chair over to Anonymous's bed.

"Would you like some water?"

"No, but thank you."

"No probs."

"How are you?"

"I am ok. All of that sleeping was nice. How are you?"

"I am good, thank you. What is your name?"

"It is Anonymous."

"My name is Zaso. It is nice to meet you Anonymous."

"It is nice to meet you Zaso."

"So you remember that day?" Zaso said with a questioning tone.

"Yes, It wasn't one of the best days that I had. But I've had worse."

"Oh." They sat there for a moment. Anonymous stared out the window and Zaso stared at the floor. "Your garden in very nice. I don't recognize some of the plants thou."

"My father collected them from his adventures." Zaso looked out of the window, seeming to stare into space.

"Once I can walk can you give me a tour in it? I would like to learn more about all of the plants."

"I will before you leave." There was another long pause. "I should get going. It was nice talking to you."

"Thank you for talking with me."

Zaso smiled, blushing slightly, "It's not a problem." He shuffled out the door.
