Chapter Three

The buildings on the city were so tall you could not see the top of them. Lights filled the city, cars everywhere, huge televisions announcing different things. Right at the entrance of this city was a fence. As Stella got closer to the fence she noticed that there was no way to get past the fence, except through a pair of doors that were straight ahead of her. She kept walking until she reached the doors, hoping they would be opened.

The door was not a wooden door, it was a steal door made out of thick steal tubes separated by inches. Stella stood there, admiring the city through the little inches that separated the steal tubes. She tried to open the door by simply pushing forward, but the door didn't budge, she tried pulling it, but the door didn't move at all either. Desperate for water she started to shake the door wildly, grabbing one tube with each of her hands. She screamed in frustration as the door stayed still on its place.

She leaned on the door and slowly sank to the ground. Tears of frustration started to form in her eyes as she screamed one last time in irritation. She was so weak and thirsty. Slowly she started to close her eyes, then she lost consciousness.

**************

Stella opened her eyes slowly and shaded them with her hand. The sun was up and she was no longer leaning on the door, she was laying on a soft couch. She looked around the vintage room. The window besides the light-green couch let the light in, hitting her directly on her face. In front of the couch was a small wooden table with a white flowerpot with a white flower with mysterious golden shapes on each petal. Behind the table was another couch, exactly like the one she was laying on, light-green and the perfect size for four people. On top of that couch was a painting of a sunset, hanging from the lighter green wall.

"You're awake, dearie" said a woman's voice, Stella tilted her head to see who was talking. She saw a skinny, tall woman. The woman was cleaning the bookshelf on the wall, so she was facing opposite of Stella. The woman's curly brown hair shone beautifully with the morning sun rays.

"I heard you screams last nigh, dearie, so I brought you here. You took a two-day-long nap, dearie" said the woman, Stella thought the word 'dearie' was a bit overused by her.

Stella didn't know what to answer so she just said "Thank you"

"No problem, dearie" replied the woman as she left the room. Stella moved herself into a sitting position.

"I guess you're thirsty, dearie, am I right?" half-asked-half-shouted the woman from another room.

"Yes!" Stella said almost automatically.

"My name is Mrs. Mocamire , what's yours dearie?" shouted the woman, Mrs. Mocamire, from the other room.

"Stella!" replied Stella. She looked out the window and admired the view as Mrs. Mocamire entered the room.

"Well Stella, dearie, here's your water" said Mrs. Mocamire as she handed a glass of water to Stella. Stella turned around and literally jumped to her feet in fright. Mrs. Mocamire didn't have a pair of eyes......she has three! Two of them on their normal place but one extra one on her forehead. Stella grabbed the glass of water and ran out the door, leaving it open behind her. She hides behind a bush that was next to Mrs. Mocamire's door.

"Dearie! What's wrong?" Mrs. Mocamire shouted as looked around for Stella, Stella held her breath.

"Well I hope we meet again!" She shouted at the air, turned around, entered her house, and closed the door behind her.

Stella could hear her heart pumping in her ears. What a freak , she thought. Stella drained the glass of water and left it on Mrs. Mocamire's door. For the first time she looked around, she seemed to be in a very common neighborhood. A clean and normal road separated to rows of houses. Every house looked completely normal, one door and one bush at each side of the door. Stella started to think that maybe Mrs. Mocamire might be the only weird thing in this neighborhood, which seemed completely normal, but then a weird creature with two heads and 4 tentacles instead of feet exited one of the houses.

"Bye Claire!" She called out to the house as the door closed behind her, but then the door flew open again and said, literally said, "Bye Sue and Lou!" and then snapped close again. That's when Stella noticed that the house looked really similar to a face. The two windows made the eyes and the door made the mouth. The house was alive. Stella couldn't help but scream at the top of her lungs. The weird creature looked at Stella with a puzzled look on one face and a weird look on the other.

Stella started running towards the end of the street. She ran without noticing where she was going. Soon she found herself in a forest full of scary dark trees.

"Hello, sweetie" said a scary, rough voice.

Stella turned around and found herself face-to-face with a humongous hairy-
