End of Chapter 4
"Maija, come with me." She berkata again as she stepped closer.
"No." I said, avoiding her gaze.
"Maija, anda will come with me." She said, her face inches from mine.
"Fine." I said, my temper beginning to rise.
We started walking into the woods when Celest stopped suddenly. She turned and glared off to her right, her hands raised slightly.
"You know better, we agreed we would meet in the usual area." She said, sounding terribly angry. "Now go, and don't ruin this."
I was just about to ask her who she was talking to when I heard a giggle and saw what looked like a brown tabby cat run off in the direction of the clearing where my mother and I use to go on sunny days.
"Who are anda talking to?" I asked as I looked around.
Celest shook her head as she squeezed my hand and started walking further into the woods. I bit my tongue, fighting the urge to ask the pertanyaan that were building up in my mind. We had just reached the edge of the clearing when I saw about thirty people standing in a semi circle, all of them looking at us as we stepped into the sun.
Chapter 5
"Maija," My aunt Jan berkata as she walked over and hugged me, pulling me away from Celest.
She pulled me further into the clearing, my eyes searching the faces of people I had never seen before, She stopped directly in the middle of the semi circle.
"This is Maijalissa." Jan berkata as she directed me to stand in front of everyone.
"Um...hi?" I berkata as I raised one hand and smiled at everyone who was watching me carefully.
Everyone laughed at my greeting one laugh stood out among the rest, it was like wind blowing the wind chimes outside my window. I turned quickly and saw Celest walking behind us, her hair blowing in the wind. I did my best to keep my jaw from dropping, for the detik time today it was like I was seeing someone for the first time.
Celest's white hair seemed to sparkle in the sun, her skin so white that it was almost transparent. When she moved meneruskan, ke depan it was like she was floating on the breeze, her small frame gliding in the breeze.
"Maija, it's rude to stare." Jan said, her lips inches from my ear.
I did my best to regain my composure, but couldn't help looking at everyone who was in the clearing. I didn't know any of them, but each face I looked at was lebih extraordinary then the one before. I was honestly becoming overwhelmed with everyone, I felt like I was the most average person on the earth. I reached a hand up, feeling the spots where my curls fought to break free from the tie.
"Maija?" Carol asked as she moved quickly and grabbed my hand, I closed my eyes as I tried to get control over myself.
"Is she ill?" A male voice asked, his voice getting louder as he got closer.
"No, I think she's just overwhelmed." Jan berkata as she turned me and led me to a rock, setting me down slowly since my eyes were still closed.
"Maijalissa?" The male voice asked as I felt a hand rest on my arm. I opened my eyes slowly, the sun blinding me for a menit since I had held them closed so hard. When my vision started to clear I saw a guy who was about my age squatting in front of me, watching me closely to see if I was alright.
I tried not to stair but with someone sitting directly in front of anda it's hard to do. He looked to be about my age if not a little older, his dark brown hair was cut short but I could tell that if it was longer that it would stick up and be unruly. His skin was very tanned, as if he was sitting in the sun for long periods of time. The last thing I noticed were his eyes, and once I saw them I could not look away. They were a yellowish color, a color I had never seen before. The black of his irises set off the yellow so perfectly that it I could do nothing but stare.
"Maijalissa?" He asked again, his hand sliding up my arm slightly which made me focus on him.
"Oh, sorry." I berkata as I shook my head slightly, trying to get myself to focus.
"Are anda alright?"
"Yeah, just overwhelmed." I berkata as I smiled at him, trying my best to not look in his eyes in fear I would loose myself in them again. "Who are you?"
"I should have introduced my self, sorry. I am Michael, my mother is a good friend of your aunts."
"Nice to meet you," I said, remembering my manners. "Do I know your mother?"
"I don't believe so, we just moved back. We moved away when I was a baby, but my mother often spoke of anda and your family. OH." He berkata as he looked down and noticed that his hand was still wrapped around my upper arm (not that I minded.)
"I told anda they would." I heard my aunt Carol say.
I looked over and realized that everyone was watching us, instantly I was blushing my cheeks burning with embarrassment. I looked down as I tried to avoid everyone's gaze, but had to look back up when I heard Michael laugh quietly.
"What?" I said, my frustration noticeable in my tone.
"Sorry," He berkata softly. "It's just that anda blush, it must be hard for anda to hide your emotions."
"More then anda know." I berkata under my breath.
"Maijalissa, if anda are feeling better would anda mind joining the rest of us?" Jan asked, a smile spread across her face.
"Yes ma'am." I berkata as I started to stand up, Michael's hand sliding down my arm to my hand as he helped me stand.
I felt myself blush again, and knowing me oleh this point my face was beet red and the color had probably spread to my ears. I heard Michael laugh, and looked up and saw him smiling as I stood up with his assistance. I heard quite a few people snicker and laugh, a few commenting on us..but did my best to ignore them all as we went to rejoin everyone else for introductions.
"Maija, come with me." She berkata again as she stepped closer.
"No." I said, avoiding her gaze.
"Maija, anda will come with me." She said, her face inches from mine.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he oleh the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
