10 April 2012
I sat next to the pond, my legs hugged against myself. I threw small, pebbles and they dashed across the water. My mind was in a peaceful state, and I felt at ease. Then I heard a faint call of my name. "Eilene!" I heard in the distance. I got up and dashed back. My dress, skimming the blades of grass, made it a little the more difficult to run, in spite of being barefoot in the forest of Ewt. I was relieved and breathless as I stood in front of the iron gate looming over me. Once my energy was regained, I pushed open the gate. I loathed the loud scraping of metal and creaking, but I've learned to get used to it. I stepped into the courtyard and through and went on the stoop. "Greeting, Hareul" Hareul is my family's gardening and door keeper. You would be quite astounded at his exquisite knowledge of herbs and plants. I stepped inside, and there stood my mum and dad. Stern looks were pointed at me, I knew I was in trouble. "Miss Eilene, I will stay as calm as I can but I must ask what you were up to and why you look most dreadful."
"Daddy, I was just by the pond. And I may have tripped a little. Now if you would be kind enough to let me, may I pass and clean up?"
"You will not step on my these palace floors with those feet! TOWEL!"
Haruel entered with a fluffy white towel and a sponge. I washed my feet until they were better than before and then I was allowed in.
I went up the grand staircase, the sound of each step echoing throughout the room. Straight to the bath I was sent, and was told not to come down until I was in better condition than when I left. I played with the handles, and experimenting with the foam for a bit. I felt like a child."
