Chapter 3-Searching

Leah was finally home. It was very late, so she opened carefully the front door and got inside. Nobody was still awake, so, she took her dinner out of the fridge and warm it in the microwave. After that, very quietly went to the second floor, there were her adoptive parents sleeping in the biggest bedroom, and her two brothers in the other bedrooms. Her little place was on the attic, she did everything there, so she had to take the ladder and go through the small door on the ceiling and she was there. She felt comfortable there because nobody came in. Her dad was too fat for that door, her mom had no intersest in her and her brothers were always busy with other stuff  like parties and girlfriends. Leah had a small round window that she spend her time watching the sky, just like now. She was looking to the stars and hoping that she can find the perfect troll for her. She tried to sleep but she just couldn't.
It was finally morning and Leah couldn't wait to leave. She put in her purse a map with the shops and the money, she didn't had much but she hoped that she could get one, doesn't matter which one. She said to everybody downstairs that she has to work on a project for school while she was running out the door.
It was a sunny day so walking was no problem. Leah got to the first shop, a little bit too fancy for her. She stepped inside and remained amazed by what she saw. So many trolls and so nice colored. This shop had all the trolls that you wanted and even babies that so rare were. They were in glass boxes so you could see them well, and on each box was a special system to hear them and also to talk to them. There were a lot of people that took them out of the box and play with them. She went to a rock troll box, the price was too high for her, but she asked the owner if she could get one in her hand like she saw at the other people. The arrogant owner looked annoyed at the girl. 
-Can't you read there? And he showed a paper that was everywhere in the shop. " For only 5 dollar per 5 minutes you can test a troll. Maximum 3 trolls, you have to buy one of the 3."
"Like that I will never be able to even see one closely, who thought that they will be so expensive?" Said Leah for herself.
After she look fast at all the trolls, she got outside.
"Ok, the next one" her enthusiasm was fading.
At the second two shops were better prices, but still too much. Even if she could pay a little bit per month was still too much for her.
She was so disappointed that she was even thinking not to go to the 4th shop, but still..."you never know"...
Once  she was there she looked around, those were the lowest prices till now but still... Also this shop had no baby trolls or special ones. She was staring at a green troll with pink dreadlocked hair which was very special for a troll. Also her green body has yellow and orange marks. She was the most expensive in the whole shop but also the most gourgeous one too. The troll looked back. Leah smiled at it, it was the first troll that actually looked at her in all the shops.
- H-hello there. Said Leah a little nervous.
But right then the owner came.
-Can I help you with something?
-I don't think so. I wanted to buy a troll, but I don't have enough. This is the 4th shop that I visit.
-Well, if that will make your day better you can see one closer or even take it in your hands.
-Yes, I know that, for $5 you can take one max 3 and buy one of the 3.
The owner laughs.
-I mean for free, and I will not look at the clock.
-Wow really?  Can I try with this one?
-Offcourse, she is a Reggaeton troll..
-Woooowww... Leah's eyes were shining
-...and her name is Tambora. He finished his sentence while he opened the box
He let it like that and went to talk with another client.
Leah wanted to take her, but she closed her eyes and put her hands on her face.
-Ow, I am sorry. I didn't want to scare you. I will not touch you if you don't feel confortable with it. Leah smiled at Tambora that half smiled back.
-You are so beautiful and colorful and I really like your hair. Said Leah enthusiastic
-Thank you. Said a shy cute voice
-You just talked with me!
The little troll came closer to her and looked a while. Leah put her hand in the box not saing anything but only smiling at the little troll. After a while Tambora steps carefully on it and Leah lift it up slowly. The troll looked shy and was kind of afraid to look in the girl's eyes.
-You are so soft, and way much beautiful up close.
-I like your eyes... said Tambora very quiet. Leah had big blue eyes with a very inocent look in it. That look made Tambora less stressed around a human.
-Thank you, little one, my name is Leah, I will put you back now.
Leah closed the box back continuing looking at the Reggaeton troll. She wanted her, she seems so sweet and calm..but she couldn't.
-Well, well, we have a little troll talent here. The owner was back.
-What do you mean?
-You just made a troll come to you and you even make it talk. Do you know how difficult it is?
-I actually saw that the most trolls just don't talk...
-They refuse to talk to us. The owner corrected her.
-I think that she is special... Not me. Leah smiled to Tambora that was smiling back.
-If I give you every day $5 will you let me see Tambora every day? Please sir! Leah begged him.
-Ok, I agree with that, but I actually have a troll for you. Not Tambora but a friend of hers.
Leah's head 'exploded' when she heard that.
-Really? Are you talking serious?? I don't have much money, you know... Leah was again super enthusiastic.
-I am serious, and money will not be a problem because I will give it for free, but you have to promise something and sign that on paper otherwise I will not give him to you.
-Anything you want!  The girl was no longer rational.
-No matter what happens, you are not allowed to bring him back. You will have to keep it with you. Also, you if you want him, you will have to sign everything now, without seeing it first. Are you gonna accept this?
-Is he still alive? Asked Leah a little suspicious. All the term from that contract where in her favor.
