"Where are we?"

"I don't know."

Ten seconds longer

"Where are we?"

"I don't know!"

Five seconds

"Where are we!"

"I. DON'T. KNOW!" I yelled. "I THOUGHT YOU TWO WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOW EVERYTHING."

"BUT WE DON'T." D and CC had been talking in sink for the last couple hours.

Deep breaths. Deep. Breaths.

"Fine, just keep heading forwards because it's the only hope we have. The wolf only gave us this to go on. I know it's not much but it's all we have. So. Stop. Asking. Where. We. Are." I said taking the deep breathes.

"But Ella WE WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE!"

"I SAID STOP!"

You can kinda imagine what happens for the next few hours.

"Coco do you see those bright colours in the distance?" Said Crystal, finally not talking at the same time as Diamond.
     "Uh . . ." I squinted but then tripped on a tree root. I am very good at avoiding stuff like that as long as I look where I am going. But you can kinda tell that from my trip. "I can see it from the ground?"

They facepalm and I wonder what that smell is. It smells nice . . . Bright colours . . . FLOWERS!

"Guys I think it's flowers!" I say and we start getting closer to the flowers. "And if you have flowers their might just be somebody nice!"

"Yeah. Might."

And we're back to double speech.

"At least it's an idea, and if we don't manage to get help soon we're gonna be zombies! And I really want something else but mud around me, don't get me wrong, I love nature. But this is way too much for way too long." And then I trip. Mud all over me. I got back up and brushed some off as we walked. We got closer to the flowers and when there were no more trees . . . We saw a mansion?!

Ding dong

"Just a moment!" A feminine voice said as little feet scuttles were heard. A few seconds later the door opened to show a petite girl who looked about a year older then us. "May I help you?"

"Yes, as it is we were wondering if the owner of the estate could tell us we're the nearest motel is." I said, shivering. "By the way, I'm Ella and this is Crystal and Diamond."

"Hello, I'm Rachel and welcome to the Ruby estate. There's no need to look for the nearest place to rent a room. Come in and I will let the owner know your here."

And then there was a bunch of walking through hallways until we came to a living area. In the living area was a man with his back to us. "Mr. Ruby, we have visitors. Would you like me to escort them to a room?"

"Yes, Rachel." Said the man, turning around to face us. "By the way, I am mr. Ruby, may I ask your names?"

I introduced us to him before there was some sounds from what sounded like three floors up. I didn't know how I could hear them but I didn't think of it.

"Nice to meet you, Rachel you may escor-"

The sound from upstairs grew louder as it became closer. From the nearby stairs a girl about our age came down on roller skates. She was skating on the stairs rail and when she came it the edge she jumped straight off. The girl had gold hair with bright blue eyes and she was laughing.

"Rosabelle, meet our visitors." Said Mr. Ruby as, for the first time, 'Rosabelle' realised we were there. She skated over to us before stopping.
"Hi, I'm Rosabelle, but you can call me Rose." She said doing a slight wave. When she moved I noticed a locket around her neck, but I didn't think much of it.
"Rosabelle, this is Ella, Crystal, and Diamond." Mr. Ruby said, gesturing to each of us in turn. "Now, Rachel, would you please escort them to the guest rooms."

As we were taken upstairs I was thinking about how this was all so quick. 'Hello, hello, to the room, good bye' that was technically it. I thought we would get some small little room but boy, was I wrong. Rachel opened the door and there was a pretty big room. She excused herself and we all took showers. I mean all, as in at the same time, the suite had three bedrooms.

*'bout a rosen hour later*

"This. Is. Amazing." I said as I sat down on a couch with CC and D. "I feel clean and even my clothes have been washed."
I went back into the bathroom and put on my clothes leaving my hair almost black down. When I came out again my BFF's were looking much the same way I did. Just about when I was about to sit down again when a knock was heard.

"Come in." I said, and Rachel's head popped in.
"If you would please Mr. Ruby would like to have meal." Rachel said in a way too fancy way.
"Sure." I said. "And Rachel, you don't have to talk that way around us. Just talk like a normal teen."

Rachel looked relieved to be able to act normally around us.
"But one question Rachel, are the these outfits okay for dinner?" She smiled when Crystal asked this.
"I suggest you change into something a bit more formal, Rose will be willing to loan you something."
