Chapter 1

Harumi's POV
I woke up early in the morning and changed. My name is Harumi. I live in a tower, only with my chameleon friend Zane. I never leave the tower, because my mom-Misako-says that the people wanted to take my hair, because it was magical. I am stuck here from 18 years. Well, soon will be 18 years, because it will be my birthday! Yay! Anyways, first I went to wash the dishes, then the floor, I brushed my loooooong hair 3 times. I then started drawing, but from doing it everyday here, there wasn't much space left. I looked at one wall and surprisingly-it wasn't painted. I climbed to it with my pain and started. After a while, I was ready. I jumped from the chair I was using and looked at the picture. There were these lights. I don't know what they are, but every year, on my birthday, I see them from my window. Something tells me that they are for me. Mom says they are just stars, but I know they aren't. I always wanted to go and see them, but mom never let me

"Harumi! Give me your hair!"speaking of the devil

"Coming mom!"I yelled. I ran to my room and to the window, then leave my hair out, so mom can climb on it. She came into my room and hugged me

"Hi my daughter"she said with joy"I have surprise for you"she added

"Really? What is it?"I asked excited

"I took nuts and I will make you a nut soup!"she said and I frowned. I looked at my paint and my face lit up. I looked at mom, who was with her back towards me

"Mom, you know my birthday is soon and I think I know what I want"I said and she sighed

"Harumi, I hope it isn't for these stars again. You know my answer"mom said not turning to me

"But mom! They are not stars and they are special to me. Please"I begged and she turned to me

"Harumi you know my answer"she said putting both her hands on my shoulders. I sighed and looked at the floor

"Okay..."I said"Can you then, get me this green paint?"I asked looking at her

"But Harumi! It's 3 days travel from here! I can't leave you alone for that much time!"she said

"Please mom!"I begged and she sighed

"Okay, if that's gonna stop you from asking for these stars"she said turning back to the soup

"They are not stars"I said to myself, then started packing some things for her

After 3 hours we were ready and mom was hanging from my hair

"Bye sweetie, I will miss you very much"mom yelled

"Bye mom! I will miss you too"I yelled. She walked away, turned to me, waved and then disappeared behind a rock and leaves
